Burning multiple copies

I am currently trying to use iDVD for short DVD production runs, however, I have been having some issues. First, I have found that after running a 25th copy, iDVD shuts down. Does it have a copy maximum?
Also, and here is the most frustrating problem, I am having about a 10-15% fallout rate on these copies. It does not appear to be a player compatibility problem, as it is that the burn is corrupted. Some chapters won't play, other times it just hiccups and skips a minute or two. Or, it flat-out won't even load. I actually had one that came back from a customer where only 3 chapters of 36 would play. Are these problems due to iDVD's limitations regarding larger copy outputs? Problems that would be solved by just moving to DVD Studio Pro? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Denis, I appreciate the suggestion. I do have the full Final Cut Studio, including DVD Studio Pro. However, as I am a new business, some of the projects I have been doing have been for very low pay, and I really liked the quick design feature of iDVD and being able to pop a product out within 10-15 minutes. I can't do that with Studio Pro...yet. Time has been a crunch. Business has picked up enough that I just can't do the shortcut anymore. Time to break down and get an industrial duplicator, learn how to use DVD Studio Pro, and do it all correctly. Of course, to be honest, just thinking about having to learn bit rate and audio compression adds a little bit of hesitation, but...it's got to be done. I've got the Apple Training book, so my wife and kids will be fatherless for the next couple of weeks. Thanks for the insight!

Do I need to get a separate program to burn multiples copies of a DVD on Mac?

Do I need to get a separate program to burn multiples copies of a DVD on Mac, and not have the copies separate into AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS? I made a series of lesson plans on iMovie. When it opens on the original disk, it goes right to my music and intro menu. When I try to burn it to a new DVD, it shows up as AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. It does not open at all. Please advise.
Thanks,
Chris

Does the disk image that you created from the previously burned iDVD project look like this?
If so you don't copy any part of it to a blank DVD. You open Disk Utility and select it like I do in this screenshot:
insert a blank DVD and click on the Burn button.

Burning multiple copies of a project

Don't mean to ask a stupid question, but here goes.
After I build and format my first copy of a project, all subsequent copies get a message saying that a VIDEO_TS directory of this project already exists. Choosing Reuse will reuse as much of the current VIDEO_TS contents as possible.
Is this normal? By resuing am I getting a DVD with less data than the original?
I must not understand the process involved. Any help out there??
Thanks.

What is the difference in burning a TS folder in TOAST or saving in .img and using DiskUtility to burn many DVD ?
I have many copies to burn, what is the best workflow ? The TS folder in Toast ( I have vesrion 5.2.3) or format in .img and use DiskUtility to burn ?
When burning multiple copies it is preferred to burn from an disc image file, which you could do with either Toast 5.2.3 or Disk Utility. What's vital is that the image file is UDF format.
Burning a VIDEO_TS with Toast 5.2.3 is prone to error because you have to use the DVD format in the Other tab, click New Disc, add the VIDEO_TS, create an empty AUDIO_TS and then click the burn button. And don't open the VIDEO_TS folder in the Finder before burning because that adds some invisible directory files that could affect the ability of the DVD to be playable. (Toast 6 and 7 automatically remove those files if present).
By the way, Toast 6 and 7 added the ability to select the quantity of discs you want burned.

Burning multiple copies of a data CD?

I need to burn multiple copies of a data CD (50). Dragging to a burn folder each time is tedious... is there a way I can enter the number of CDs to burn and then mindlessly feed blank CDs into the (external) burner?

Well, not quite mindlessly ....
A bit easier process would be to use Disk Utility to create a DVD/CD Master image of the folder you want to burn to CD. Then use Disk Utility to repeatedly burn the CDs. But you will still have to initiate each burn; there's no batch function and of course you have to manually feed the blank CDs into your iMac.
In Disk Utility, do File > New > Disk Image from Folder. Select the folder you want to image, then select Image Format = DVD/CD Master. This will give you a .cdr file. Then, still in Disk Utility,, select the .cdr file from the list of disks and click the Burn button.

Burning multiple copies of a DVD

How do I burn multiple copies of a DVD in DVDSP without it formatting it every time?

Kevin Rieg wrote:

Unless I'm misunderstanding, you actually do want DVDSP to Format every time. In DVDSP jargon, Format is the writing of a Build to disc - either optical media or, as Jon mentions, to a hard drive image.
What you don't want it to do is Build (or Build/Format) every single time. Build your DVD once, then Format (aka Command-F) every single time after that.
(I recommend Build first - without Formating - because I like to open the folder I've built to in OS X's DVD Player and confirm that all my functionality is correct. Also, once in a blue moon, I'll have some type of Build issue, like a menu rendering incorrectly, that I'd prefer to spot before I commit to Formatting.)

Burning multiple copies of slideshows

I made a great slideshow of wedding pictures but it takes forever to burn each disc because the program makes a new .wmv file each time. Is there a better way to do this? I tried saving the .wmv file but it didn't seem to make a difference. Each time I select 'burn a vcd' the process seems to start from the beginning.

If you use ULead Movie Factory 5, it will take around 4 to 5 minutes AFTER the first copy.
Place the wmv file in the add video section.
Select no menu's if you want.
The first build will take awhile.
After you burn the dvd,
choose to return to the finish page.
Add a blank disc, and click on burn again.
I had a slide show that took around 2 hours for
Photoshop to create wmv file (200 pictures with a lot of panning and zooming) about 15 seconds per slide.
The Movie Factory 5 took awhile also if I remember correctly
to redo the wmv to vob conversion.
BUT...the reburns were around 4 minutes 37 seconds.
I believe the free trial download gives you every thing.

Duplicating multiple copies of DVD

I'm on a backpacker list, and for the last few years, people have compiled a DVD of highlights of the people hiking the PCT that year.
The program is public domain and copies are made without charge to the recipients.
I'm duplicating some of the DVDs as my contribution. Is there a way to have disk utility burn multiple copies without starting over each time and doing the whole verification and compiling before actually burning the disk?

Insert the original DVD, quit DVD Player if it starts, and run Disk Utility. Select the DVD drive in the left column (the drive, all the way to the left, not the volume indented below it). Select :New" from the "File" menu, and choose "Disk Image from disk...". Set "Image Format" to "DVD/CD master", choose a file location (such as "Desktop"), and click "Save". When it finishes, eject the DVD, select the disk image file in the left column, and click the "Burn" button (or use Command-B). If necessary, click the triangle at the right to see the burn options. You can use the disk image file to burn as many discs as you want.

Burn Multiple Copyright Protected DVDs

After I have created a copyright protected DVD (Formatted for CSS), how do I make/format multiple copies?
I have tried making DVDs where you are allowed mutliple copies from that DVD but subsequent copies cannot be made from the copies. However, I find that the copies I have made from the original CAN in fact be easily copied using Toast.
I tried copyright protection by Formatting for CSS and that seems to be more difficult for others to duplicate. The problem is that I have not been able to figure out how to format/burn multiple copies straight from DVD Pro. I have been doing it just one at a time.
I would like to burn/format multiple copies of a copyright protected/no copies allowed DVD I have created. I have a Primera Bravo II Disc Publisher
Message was edited by: Alex Cena

Thanks Gary. That helps me on the Primera issue though I can just as easily burn the project onto a DVD burner on my computer then tell Primera's program to copy that x number of times. Your method may be quicker though so I will give it a try.
In terms of copyright protection, I read what you wrote but I need to follow up with a question. First, when I check "No Copies Allowed" on DVD Pro, my users have not been able to make copies of that DVD. At least not easily with what the average person has on their computer. I want to make multiple copies of that kind of DVD w/o having to do it one at a time. Is there an easy way to accomplish that for runs of about 20 copies? I do runs of 10-20 copies several times a week so I am looking for a way to reduce my workflow.

Another question about multiple copies

I've seen several others posting questions lately about making multiple copies, but my question is just slightly different. I'll be making an iDVD project for our 5th Grade Recognition at school. Obviously, I'll be making it on my Mac at home. However, once it's finished and I have my final DVD, I'm going to need to make over 50 copies.
Last year, when I did the presentation as a Powerpoint show, it was easy enough to use multiple (Windows) computers at school to duplicate. There are 4 computers that I used to just rotate CD's in and out of to make copies.
Will I be able to use a Windows machine to make copies of an iDVD disk? I know that the computers can burn DVD's, so that's not an issue. I can't remember exactly which programs the computer have. I believe that one is Sonic something. The one that I used for CD's was IRecordNow (or something like that).
Is there any "protection" placed on the iDVD disk that will prevent me from placing the iDVD into the drive and choosing "copy" in whatever program that I use?

Is there any "protection" placed on the iDVD disk that will prevent me from placing the iDVD into the drive and choosing "copy" in whatever program that I use?
No. Only DVDs made in a production house have copy protection applied.

Receiving multiple copies of text messages

i have an iPhone 6 plus and have been receiving multiple copies of the same text message (up to 4x) from various contacts across various carriers. This has been an issue throughout having an iPhone 5s and 6 plus, and only occurs with regular messages, not iMessage. It also does not occur for automated text messages sent to me (e.g. Redbox). While I have unlimited messages it is frustrating because they are sent to me multiple times, and not necessarily in the same order each time. It is also inconsistent. I might get a single copy of one text and four of another. I have reset the phone, changed phones, and every other thing possible. This seems to be an issue not on my end. Assistance would be much appreciate. Thanks.

Hp deskjet 1510 multiple copies

My HP Deskjet 1510 keeps making multiple copies of itself in my devices on windows 7. I've tried deleting the copies but they keep coming back can anyone help please for some reason its stopped letting me print.

Hi kieranraikes,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that your HP Deskjet 1510 is making multiple copies. I am happy to help you! I would recommend the following:
Run the HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know what happens.
Powercycle the printer. (With the printer turned on, unplug the power cable from the back of the printer, and the wall outlet. Then wait 30 seconds, then plug the cable back in, wall outlet first. The printer will turn on automatically).
Hope this information helps you, and have a great day!

Printing multiple copies of 3 page BOL in Duplex mode-

Hi Gurus!
I have created a smartform to print the BOL on front side and terms and conditions on back side. I used the duplex mode to print and it works perfectly fine. When I have a BOL with 3 pages of information , it prints the items on the front side and terms and conditions on the second side and it does everything absolutely correctly.
At our organization we always print 5 copies of any BOL and that is when the problem arises. When we do a printing of the BOL form with number of copies set to 5 , it prints very akwardly with the settings. First it prints page 1 front and same thing on the back, then again the first page on the first and its back and then front on the third side , then similarly 5 sides of terms and conditions and then followed by 5 sides of page 2 items and followed by 5 sides of terms and conditions, which is very akward. Actually it should print first set with page 1 and TC on back of it , then Page 2 and TC on its back and page 3 and TC on its side like it does when I make a single copy.
Is there any settings that I am missing thats making the above happen when I print multiple copies of the BOL?
Please suggest.

Hi!
Thanks for the reply. I changed the settings of the printer to 'Pass Copies as Separate Output Request(in SAP System)' and re-tried printing 5 copies of the BOL and it again seems to print the first page 5 sides then Terms and conditions on 5 sides, then again 5 sides of page 2 and followed by 5 sides of T&C.
My settings on the smartforms is front page "D' and the back and the Last page is blank setting. This runs well when I just have to print one copy of my BOL , it prints the front page and then T&C on its back side , then again the second page and T&C on its back . This only messes when its more than one copy of the set of BOL.
Please suggest as to what to do next to make it print in proper sets.
Thanks and Regards

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
