Burning problem using idvd..

Can disk utility able to burn picture slideshow project (from idvd or imovie)and movie? If so, how it can be done so I can play picture slideshow on my portable dvd player? I tried disk image already. It didn't work on pc or dvd player. Anyone knows how ...please give details. Thank you much!

Hi
a. Did the DiskImage run on Your Mac ?
b. If You burn this to a DVD You need to see that it creates a video-DVD not a Data-DVD
c. I open the image and use Roxio Toast™ to do this but Apple Disk Util tool can
do this as well.

Burning movies using iDVD?

Hi, please can you help.
I want to use iDVD to burn a movie I have on an AVI file, it's about 2 hours long. When I drag on to iDVD screen it says its too big and need to change encode on project menu, You have Best, High, Professional etc, the top one is too big. Do I use High or Professional? When I change that and go to burn a pop uo still comes up and it says there are still some things that need changing after I've done this, but can still continue burning. Can you tell me what it is and will an AVI play back on a standard DVD player afterwards when burned. I don't want to wait over 4 hours to find out it won't work.
Can anyone please help and tell me how I can speed it up, do I use High/Professional if 'Best' won't let you do a 2 hour film, and what else I need to fix. Why does it keep coming up with 'continue burning' but tells me things need to be fixed first, but now what after I've changed the encoding.
Thanks

The cause of the problem could be two-fold: the one stated, and your choice of the outdated Microsoft AVI file container which, depending on the video codec used, may not be compatible.
But if the video plays in Quicktime and/or iMovie it should be OK. Does it?
Encoding can take a considerable time. 4 hours is not unusual.

How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results. That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option. Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
Hope this helps!

Burning Problems in IDVD 6

"The recording device reported the hardware error: Peripheral device write fault. (0x03, 0x00.)"
Does anyone know what this might mean?

Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Sounds like a media burning issue.
I would use Verbatim DVD-R (no other format) and burn a disk image at 4X or slower.
What brand are you using? Memorex and TDK have bad track records here...
File/Save As Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

How to get imovies out of iPad and burn them using iDVD or Movie Maker?

Has anyone figured out how to get the iMovies created on the iPad out and onto a computer to burn them onto iDVD or MovieMaker?

Just export the movie to your camera roll and sync it back to your computer.

Problem Using iDVD to burn a movie

Hi, I'm very new to Mac world and trying to learn.
Recently when I tried to use my iDVD to burn DVD, I faced a problem where even the Mac Support centre fail to help me.
I have a movie files and individual is about 420M in DiVX format. When I import into the iDVD, by right a DVD should be able to accomodate up to 5 or 6 movie. However, when I import the 3rd movie file, the iDVD told me I already exit a DVD capacity of 4.7G.
Can any expert can help me to resolve this issue so that I can burn my movie in DVD using the iDVD?
thanks for the advise.

Hi
1. To me DivX is a stranged format. I use only streamingDV QT.mov files as in iMovie
I drop the movie project icon into iDVD.
I would convert them to this.
2. iDVD doesn't care about Mb or Gbs on file size - only minutes in total including menu.
If it exceeds 60 or 120 minutes dep on quality encoding seleected there are problems.
One can easily make a 100Mb file that lasts >>2h and a 50Gb that is a 30 min movie.

Cannot burn DVD (using iDVD, and iMac G5 with Superdrive)

Hi. I'm trying to burn an iMovie onto a DVD-R (16x). I have an iMac G5 w/ Superdrive (PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K04F). I have plenty of available disc space. iDVD goes through the entire burn process, then at the very end it spits out the disc with these errors:
The recording device reported the error #8: No additional sense information. (0x00, 0x00.)
The recording device reported the media error: Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.)
Can someone PLEASE help me? What am I doing wrong?
THANK YOU!

Could be the brand of media you are using. Most users here find the most reliable to be Verbatim DVD-R.
Also, try burning at a lower speed.
Using 16x DVD media is fine - in fact it is difficult to buy any other - but there is a consensus in the Apple Support Forums that a slower burn is a better burn and that the most reliable brands are Verbatim, Maxell and Fuji, all DVD-R, burned at 2x or 4x (slow burns are better burns!). I always use Toast for burning.
I generally use Verbatim and when I can't get those, Fuji, and have never had a coaster from either.
Plenty of coasters in the early days from Sony, TDK and a few others.
The term "Best" means the fastest speed that the drive told Toast it can write to a specific disc. The drive's firmware and info on the disc decide what speed burns are available. When you press the speed setting button in Toast (after inserting a disc) you'll likely see some speeds in italics and some in bold face. The ones in bold face are supported by that media on that drive. The fastest one is what Toast calls Best.
Audio CDs in particular should be burned at the lowest supported speed.
Verification is a good indicator the disc is burned okay. However, other DVD players can still have problems with the disc. Media problems with various drives is not uncommon. Slower burning may reduce the chance of those problems, and is one of the reasons why RW (read/write) media is always rated slower than DVD-R.
There are some interesting facts here:
http://www.osta.org/technology/dvdqa/dvdqa4.htm and here:
http://www.osta.org/technology/dvdqa/dvdqa4.htm
But many will tell you that the 'slower burn is best' theory is outdated. Who really knows? At the end of the day, if your home-made DVD was verified by Toast and will play anywhere on anybody's DVD player, then that is the result we are all after!

Encoding error when attempting to burn dvd using iDVD

I made a movie out of a slide-show I made in iPhoto using iMovie. I then went to share-media browser-large. Once that was completed I went to iDVD and selected the movie in the menu to the left, then drug it to the idvd menu screen and it added the movie. I added some photos and music to the menu screen as well. I then clicked on the burn symbol at the bottom and it began burning then I got an error message saying "error during encoding/rendering. Burning terminated." I had at least 90 GB remaining in my hard drive. Is there a defect in this software? I would like to get to the root of the problem. Please help.

How much space is available on the boot drive?
Ensure all your software is up to date (Apple Menu > Software Update).
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches (I remove the whole folder. It will be re-generated upon restart.)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iDVD (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
If the issue persists I would try a brand new project with different content added (say a still image and a slideshow in iDVD) and save as disk image again. Just to make sure iDVD itself is working.

DVD-burner problems using 925X NEO Platinum

Hello,
I've experienced a lot of problems trying to burn DVD's lately. Both of the latest DVD burners I've used only burn DVD's at 1.5x speed. I read a post on this forum about a guy who experienced exactly the same and he was adviced to switch the DVD burner to IDE1 instead of IDE2. I did that, but never got my computer to start again. (It only said read falut, press ctrl+alt+del to try again).
I now use a DVD-burner from LG (GSA-4163B), I got all the latest drivers, BIOS etc. I also have tried burning on all (almost) different types of DVD's. The result is the same = only 1.5x speed. CD's burn only at 10x at the most.
I've also learned that my HD's only use PIO-mode, and cannot use DMA at all at the moment. WHY? They are both set to "use DMA if possible-option". I use a MAXTOR 6Y120P0 and a SEAGATE ST320413A.

Quote from: Assaf on 29-August-05, 21:47:38
Windows XP falls back to PIO if it detects transfer errors.
Possably a bad cable caused that.
You should be able to get back to DMA by deleting the IDE controllers from the device manager and rebooting.
In DMA mode your burning speed should pick up.
If you are using cheap rounded or extra long cables (over 45cm) I would consider replacing them.
OK, I've changed the MSI-cable (that was rounded and looked pretty cheap) that was connected to the burner
& DVD-rom, but it seems nothing really happens when I uninstall my (6) IDE controllers. They re-install themself
when rebooting, but still use the PIO mode. Should I uninstall all 6 controllers (3 primary, 3 secondary) at the same
time and then reboot, or what?
I bought a new, quite expensive IDE-cable recently, which I use for the burner + DVD-rom, but it's 60cm long.
Should I replace it? Is that really necessary?
Thanks for the reply!!

Sound problems using IDVD 4

Last night I "shared" an IMovie with IDVD and burned a DVD. The thing will not play at all on my Mac. It does play on my husband's PC with beautiful video and audio that is dreadful - sounds like it's coming from a very loud echo chamber! Advice for a novice anyone?

Hi Bengt:
- refered in another post that one of the main benefits of this forum is
the friends You get -
And you are a very good friend to have!
Hi #1 Gran:
In my opinion, Bengt is (as always) correct. I wonder what was the speed of media you used?
Since it is iDVD4, I know you had to use DVD-R, but what speed was the burn? 4x? 8x? 16 or faster?
Your best bet is Verbatim DVD-R 4X.
Also-be sure to try what Bengt suggests regarding dropping the movie project into iDVD instead of the share option.
Keep us posted!

Burning errors using IDVD 3.0.1

I export a video from Final Cut Express HD to the desktop. I then open IDVD version 3.0.1 and dragged the movie into IDVD and then started the burn process. I get the following error
Error during the recording process
#-2147352539

Did you get this fixed? Could be any number of thing and we would need a bit more info to really help out... is this a self contained movie? How long is it (iDVD 3 will do 90-minutes max)? Does it playback in QT OK? and so on. A few things to try of the cuff: Make sure you are using DVD-R (minus R) NOT DVD+R (plus R) . There is a difference and iDVD 3 will only use -R. Save your sequence some place other than the desktop & make sure you have at least 10gigs of free hard drive space. It's a place to start.
Good Luck,
Mike

Burning problems in idvd '09

I have the following problem: when I want to **burn a project on DVD**, idvd asks me to insert a disc. Then it tells me "waiting for device to become ready..." after a minute or two it spits the DVD-R out and tells me "Insert a recordable DVD disc." But there is nothing wrong with the DVD! I wonder if it is the burner or the software or maybe I am doing something wrong...?

I have the same problem
I even tried reinstalling the program but the same thing happens to me
IF you have any luck let me know I tried everything I know
I think there is something wrong with the program

Burning disc using iDVD

Having just made my first iDVD, I am trying to burn it onto a TDK DVD+R 4.7gb single side disk. Won't burn and is stating "insert recordable disc" even though disc is brand new. Probably obvious to everyone else, but no doubt there is catch ?

Uhh, that's complicated. It's just different standards, backed by different organisations. Few years ago, when it started, it looked like a stupid formats war, with customers confused, low sales, etc. One could imagine that the industry learnt the lesson, but never underestimate stupidity: now the same kind of war is about to start regarding the next generation DVDs, the BlueRay or the HD...
Anyway, recent burners can deal with almost all curent formats (-R, -RW, -R DL, +R, +RW). Some of them are compatible also with +R DL (that's Dual Layer), and with -RAM. If you need that compatibility, you can buy an external burner (look for one with FireWire connection, is better even than USB 2).

Using iDVD to burn a iMovie

I made a slideshow on iMovie and would like to burn it using iDvd. I would like it to loop over and over again. Really, I don't want/need the menu page. Can you help? It's pictures of my son for his graduation, so I do not want to keep pressing play. I created it in iMovie so that I could utilized Ken Burns.

I followed the instructions you sent. I can't select the movie from the Movies section of the Media pane. It says I need to format the iMovie for Media Browser. My question is: what size do I select in iMovie for Media Browser? I know it should be set for Computer, but do I select 1)large, 2)HD 702p or 3)HD 1080p? Thanks.

Shimmering once iMovie burned using iDVD

Hi - I have created a presentation (both scanned photos and video clips) in iMovie 6 and burned it using iDVD. The presentation looks great on iMovie, but after I've burned it and watched it on my DVD, there seems to be a "shimmering" effect on some of the photos. Originally I thought it was something to do with the way I scanned the photos. But when I attempted burning it subsequent times, a different set of photos seemed to have developed the shimmering effect. For example, on the first DVD, clips #50-75 had shimmering and in the second DVD, it was clips #60-78 (the shimmering seems to be moving along later in the presentation). Any suggestions on what I have to do to avoid this? Many thanks....

Hi - thanks for the suggested reading. I'm prepared to save the clips at a smaller resolution (640x480) but I'm still confused - why does the "shimmering" effect strike different clips at different times when I burn it on iDVD? If an image would be prone to "shimmering" then shouldn't the effect show up each time the project is burned? Conversely, if it burned properly once before, why would it begin to "shimmer" when the project is burned a second time?

Please Help with Burn Error in iDVD 4.0.1

I'm using a G5 and running OS 10.3.9. I've burned a slideshow once with no problems using iDVD over a year ago and went to try again recently (after upgrading whenever an upgrade was available) and I'm getting the following error:
Errors were found during the burning process
The recording device reported the media error:
WRITE error - RECOVERY FAILED. (0x0C, 0x08.)
I'm using DVD-R as required, which I've also used in the past. Can anyone help me in troubleshooting this problem. I've ruined 3 disks so far trying to burn this slideshow. Any information would be helpful. Thank you!

Thanks for your response Sue.
I tried the Verbatim DVD-R and I'm now getting the following error:
Errors were found during the burning process
The recording device reported the media error:
Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.)
Where can I choose the burn speed? You recommended 4x or slower but no burn speed option appeared when I clicked 'burn'.
