Burning only ones and next DVD will not burn

I never had a problem, now I can burn only first DVD (70min). The next DVD it's normally should take not more than 20 min. The setting speed is "Best". After inserting the DVD it runs hours and nothing happens. I have to force the iDVD to quit. I am using Verbatim DVD-R
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The BEST way to make multiple copies is with a disk image. You create a disk image from iDVD (an option under FILE) and then use Apple's Disk Utility or Roxio's Toast Titanium to make as many discs as you want. Using the disk image approach, you can reduce the burn speed to 4x or lower (Disk Utility and Toast both offer this feature, iDVD 6 doesn't) which will make your burned discs more compatable with set top DVD players.

  • Blank 16x DVDs will not burn in internal DVD burner

    Hi
    Some blank 16x DVDs will not burn in the internal DVD burner on my iBook G4.
    My iBook tries to load the DVD-Rs but it spits the DVD out after 2 tries.
    Any reason why

    It could be just the brand you are using.

  • Help!! CD/Dvd will not burn

    Try downloading and running the imgburn program.  Google it.  It is free and will burn CDs and DVDs.

  • Multi-plexing Error-DVD will not burn

    How do I get rid of errors? There are none that show up on the map view. This is a 6.0 theme, no music, one QT file with chapter markers. Thanks for any help you can give. I have tried about six times.

    Made a few minor changes, but major change was to go from Best Performance to Professional Quality.
    There's a bug with iDVD that causes problems when a movie is edited and then the probject is re-encoded and burned.  The best route to take is create a new project, add the edited movie and go from there.
    Also I suggest you follow this recommended workflow:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums because they have a higher concentration of dye in the burn layer than other brands.

  • DVD will not burn but CD will

    I have a PowerBook G4 and a G4 desktop. The DVD burner on the desktop is an upgrade. Recently both machines have stopped burning a DVD but will still burn a CD. Both machines run 10.3.9. Is it possible that software updates may have updated the machines and interfered with the ability to burn DVDs? I just have a hard time believing that both machines would break about the same time.

    I kept reading and found one reply to someone elses problem that was a fix to mine.
    In System Preferences I selected open finder. That was all.
    I tried it because it was easy and I hade recenty reinstalled the system in the laptop. It was already selected on the desktop but I changed it and reselected open finder there also and they both now work. Hurray!!!

  • DVD WILL NOT BURN IN IDVD

    Trying to burn a project in IDVD, goes through the entire process up to "Writing Lead-In" and about 6 minutes left, the disk is ejected automatically. When put back in process gets hung up. Have also saved as a "Disk Image on my desktop and plays with no issues via the DVD software. When I select to burn to Disc, within 1 minute disk is ejected and this message comes up "The Disk can"t burn, because the device failed to calibrate the Laser Power for this Media". Is this a software or hardware issue? Or something else

    Hi
    • Trashing pref file - first thing to do (free and easy)
    • Cheap media is often a problem - I use Verbatim DVD-R and burn at x4 speed
    • Free space - is important BUT only on start-up hard disk (others doesn't matter)
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
    • Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
    iDVD pref file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named.
    com.apple.iDVD.plist
    While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iDVD.
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard

    iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
    I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
    emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
    and I am up and running.
    If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
    iDVD updated ?
    Apple Codec updated ?
    Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets

  • DVD will not burn

    I created a project using iDVD. When I try to burn it to a disc, it goes through all the processes, but when it gets to the last one (i.e. burning) it just continues to spin and never ends. I've been using the same brand name disks (Verbatim) for years with no problem. I've also been using iDVD for years with no problem. I tried deleting preferences and doing a permissions repair. That didn't make a difference. Please help.

    Another possibility is that you may have exceeded the 15 minute motion menu duration in your menu drop zones and backgrounds. This can prevent a DVD from burning. You can check this in the Project Info screen (from the Project menu, choose Project Info). If the Motion Menus bar is red, then you will need to reduce the amount of media in your motion menus.

  • Media Player and Power DVD will not pay or recognize discs

  • TS4268 I have a new iphone on a new telephone number but I cannot delete the old one and the phone will not sync with the phone

    Has anyone else had the same problem with a new phone and new telephone number?

    I would delete all data from the phone and restore as new.  I assume the phone is unlocked.  Then I would get the SIM card from the carrier I want to use and activate the SIM with the carrier and po my phone number across.  After that I would use the SIM card in the phone and activate the phone using iTunes, a computer and the setup assistant that will pop up in iTunes and you should be good to go.  I don't know what you did when you got into the trouble you now have. 

  • DVD will not burn in Studio Pro 2

    I am somewhat confused. I have burned DVD's for several years without a problem, but now when trying to burn a dvd it does Muxing track, then when it goes into "Recording", it doesn't. It just tells me the Media had found a Power Calibration error. I have tried reloading the software, but it still does it.
    Can anyone help?

    That message is nothing to do with DVD SP.
    Try a different burner or disc brand.

  • DVD will not stop and start in a Menue Mode

    Hello I am using DVD Studio Pro 4 for a school project and i am looking for some help with this problem.
    The DVD i have created plays and stops when i am watching one of my video tracks, i just can not start the DVD when i am previewing in any menue after i stop it.
    I have created my DVD with 16 menus and 2 video tracks. It burns and plays back fine but i can not stop and start the DVD when i am in a menu mode. The DVD will stop and play when i stop the DVD playing video from one of my video tracks but when i am in menu i push stop on my DVD controller and the DVD will not start back up. The DVD will look like it wants to play but it will not play. I have to open the DVD player tray open in order for it to start the DVD again.
    The DVD is a NTSC, SD, single layered 2.9GB
    Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks.

  • One cd will not burn

    All of my CDs that I import and burn are at least 12 yrs old. I use Staples generic 1x-52x CD-R. Burn is set at max possible( for my Superdrive that is 16x). I have no problem importing into iTunes 6 bunchanumbers. I burn by making a playlist and clicking Burn. I have found that one CD out of the six I have tried will import and play, but will not burn. I get the error message that says it can't and will not retry.
    Is this due to some sort of burn copy protection on that particular disk, or should I change to 16x setting or lower, or use a different import setting for just that disk? I have looked thru numerous posts here and have not found any that are like this "one disk" problem. I doesn't seem to me that a copy protection would work this way. Would it work on an 8x or 4x setting?
    The recording is for the "Tomato" label, mfg and dist by Rhino, artist is singer Helen Schneider with the Bob Brookmeyer big band, recorded in Germany.
    I've burned lots of data and movie cds and dvds, but this is my first foray into making copies of some of my collection for friends using iTunes.
    B&W G3   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   512 ram, iTunes 6++, 80GB

    It's conceivable that something like that might have happened in Toast, but not in iTunes. I'm going to try to burn with one track missing from the playlist, at 4x and see what happens. ClonyXXL did not report any copy protection in red, so even though I don't read German without a dictionary at hand, I don't think its copy protected, it's something else. It's funny the CD was made in Germany , and Clony XXL is German, you'd think it would help me, and maybe it has, but i can't read the notes.

  • Idvd 08  shuts down after building, idvd will not burn a dvd

    Dvd studio pro burns fine, Burning a DVD data disk works fine. Burning a project in Idvd 08 will not burn anything. It simply quits before finishing and spits out an empty dvd disk. I have a imac g5 power pc 2.1 ghz, 500gb hd, 2.5 gb ram and I am running idvd 08 version 7.0. I have tried reinstalling idvd and have even repaired permissions. What do I do? What could it be?

    Suggestion only. Before launching, did you also check for updates via apple's software updater?
