Burning speed setting imovie06

Hi
How do I set the speed of burning a DVD with imovie 06?
Thanks

Hi
Burn speed - has only to do with iDVD and the speed the laser writes the DVD during burn.
This can be set in iDVD - down this top-list menu (iDVD) down to Preferences
Here there are 4 options - last one to the right says Advanced - select this
Now at bottom of this window - set Burn Speed - I use x4 most often.
iMovie
• Can set different frame rates NTSC (29.97fps) and PAL (25fps). And so can iDVD.
Keep same as Camera recorded - in iMovie and iDVD. If Changed iDVD will still burn a DVD - BUT THIS WILL BE VERY CHOPPY and near of no use.
If You need to change frame rates - then use JES_Deinterlacer - as it does this so much better and for free. There are professional conversions too - but cost is astronomical and result nearly not noticeable comp. to JES_Deinterlacer.

Burning Speed in Itunes

What is the normal time it should take to burn and audio CD in Itunes? I have a the superdrive that comes the with the Powerbook G4 12 inch but I feel like burning a CD in itunes 7 is a lot slower than it was in 6. Anyone know?

I haven't noticed any difference burning from iTunes 7 vs 6. What is your burn speed set to in your iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>Burning panel? I have mine set to the top rated burn speed for my SuperDrive or 24x rather than Automatic. I believe your SuperDrive has the same write speed according to this review. See if changing the burn speed to a specific number improves the write performance.

Disk Utility : Cannot set burn speed

I've created a DVD disc image from DVDSP3 and want to burn it to a new DVD-R at less than 8x speed, but Disk Utility has greyed out the speed setting.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
-Bob.

Yes, you can set the burn speed in the iDVD '08 Preferences (finally).
I just can figure out what your problem is with Disk Utility - it's probably something simple we are overlooking.

You are CERTAIN that the DVD you tried had not already been burned to?

Possible to set burn speed with DVD Studio Pro?

Is it possible to set or adjust the burn speed with DVD Studio Pro ver 3..?

Build in DVD Studio Pro, then burn in Toast. Toast will let you adjust the burn speed.

So how do you set the burn speed?

I'm having problems with home movies burned to good quality media (TDK -R). They appear to degrade and become unplayable within months. The discs are stored correctly and not misused or dirty - this is happening to numerous discs being used on numerous players (inc. the iMac they were originally burned on).
Having read through previous discussions, I'm trying to ensure I burn at the slowest speed possible to see if that helps, however I can't find anyway to specify a burn speed in iDVD. Preferences are set to "best quality".
Thanks if you can help (I have looked through these forums and "Help" before posting
iMac G4 800 17 / 768 MB SD RAM Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Unless you are using a different burner that what came with your 17" iMac G4, I am not sure you need to worry about burn speed. It is already a slower burner. That said, you could create a disc image from with iDVD and then use the disk utility to burn the image to a DVD. Doing this will give you a dialog box allowing you to select a burn speed if a variable burn speed is supported.
I suspect the discs themselves. First, I hope you haven't attached a paper sticky label to these? That would be the sure fire problem. Next, it could be a bad batch or maybe your burner just doesn't like TDK? It happens. Verbatims are usually very Mac friendly.

Cannot Set Burn Speed in Disk Utility

Hi all,
It's been so long since I posted a question (years), I had to redo my settings and start over! Anyway I plan to make multiple DVDs from an FCE project of my daughters soccer season. I've done this in the past and make about 20 per season, but had trouble making then all work using iDVD'06. (Made alot of coasters.) I use Maxell or Verbatim DVD-R both at 16X. Then I was reading here about making it a disk image and then burning it at 4x with Disk Utility. I tried a test of an existing disk image file I made, but the speed option is 'grayed out' for some reason. Not sure why it is not selectable. I did the following:
1. Opened Disk Utility
2. Clicked on the .img or .dmg file
3. Clicked the Burn icon
4. A new window dropped down and I inserted a DVD-R
5. Clicked the 'Close' button
6. The speed selection is 'grayed out' but the 'Test Only' radio box was available
7. Hover my mouse over the 'grayed out' selection and it says 'Select a slower speed to work around burn failures', but I can't
Appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Rod

Setting Burn Speeds in DVD studio 4

Hello,
I want to burn a master copy for a dvd i am making and i was wondering how you set the slowest burn speed to ensure the highest quality? Thanks very much.
-Phil Smage

You can't change the burn speed in DVD Studio Pro. In order to burn at a slower speed, you'll need to create a disc image and burn that with something like Toast or Disk Utility.
To create a disc image, do a Build & Format. In the Destination section of the window that appears, change the output device from your burner to "Hard Drive". Leave the Output Format at ".img" since it sounds like you're just burning copies and aren't sending it to replication.
When it's done, burn this disc image with one of the above listed programs and you'll be able to change the burn speed.
Note that if you're creating a disc image of a dual-layer project, the break point you specified will be lost, and Toast will simply fill up the first layer and then switches to the second. This is because no layer break information is included in the image file.
If you have Toast, you can also just build the VIDEO_TS folder and burn a disc from that. Toast 7 and above is smart enough to ignore the extra files that DVDSP puts in there.

Issues burning discs on iTunes/ error message about burn speed

I've never had problems burning discs on iTunes until today, I tried to burn one of my playlists on a Memorex CD-R.
- The burn seemed to be going OK at first, but the drive started making an obnoxious, loud noise by the 4th song out of 16.
- The progress bar in iTunes then said "burning disc, finalizing" even though the CD had not been finished.
- The drive practically launches the CD out, causing it to drop, rather than ejecting half way and holding it like usual. An error message came up saying something along the lines of, "iTunes cannot burn this CD because the burn speed is too high for the CD drive or media. Lower the burn speed in the burning pane of preferences"
- I tried it again without changing the burn speed (which I suppose was set to maximum) thinking it was something to do with the disc. The same thing happened the second time I tried to burn the disc. The reason I didn't change the burn speed when it asked me to was because I'd never been prompted about the burn speed and I've used the whole stack of these Memorex CD's without problems.
I am trying to figure out where the problem really lies - does this sound like an iTunes issue (which needs an update except that my system does as well), CD issue or a drive issue? Is there a more reasonable burn speed I should try next time?
Any help would be so appreciated, thank you!!

Try a different brand. Highly recommended:
FUJI
TDK
Verbatim
Make sure the CDs are not dirty, smudged and/or scratched.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=50448 How to Handle and Clean CD and DVD Discs
Your drive may need cleaning. Cleaning kits can be purchased from any store that sells CD/DVDs.
Repair permissions after each burning session.

How do you reduce the burn speed on a pc???

I've been getting the dreaded 4310 error and discovered, through searching the discussions, that reducing the burn speed could solve the problem. However, I can't find anything on how to do that on a pc? I have a compaq nc6000 laptop.
I've had the problem only rarely before today but, for some reason, it is now happening on every cd I try to burn.
Thanx!

From the Edit menu select Preferences. Click the Advanced tab, then the Burning tab. You can set the burn speed there.

Burn speed - does it really matter?

FYI I use iDVD 6 and am wondering about the burn speed issue. I was given a stack of . . . um, no yelling from the gallery please . . . TDK 16x dvd-r and I really cannot see any quality difference between a 2x, 4x, or 8x burn as some posters claim. Should I? If I use a superior dvd as suggested in the forum will it matter?
BTW I think the quality of my slideshows on my TV (4:3 18 yr old Sony 32") are beyond acceptable. Shimmering edges, pixelization, shakes etc. are not problems I've encountered but maybe this is for another post.

Depends on the burner. If you own an old pioneer DVR-103 thru 107 then I'd say yes burn speed will matter (slower is better for older systems). But if you own a Pioneer 110U or higher (found on newer systems mainly) then burn at the speed you see fit.
Can't say I'd recommend using TDK nor Memorex medias on older macs, But many newer macs have no issues at all. You may be one of those people. I would suggest you at least try using Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R and see if you notice any quality difference on your own system or set top DVD Player/s.
Now here's the thing, you may not see any visible difference today, and maybe not even in a few months. But I can almost guarantee you will see a difference in a year or two from now when the organic dyes in this lower quality media begin to fade and render your DVD (or at least parts of the DVD) unreadable.

Burning Speed

I have forgotten, or cannot find, how to set the burn speed for creating DVDs. From time to time I get bad spots on 4x discs, not one particular brand, when playing on a DVD player.
I burn with Disk Utility and would like to select a slower speed which allegedly give more reliable results.

David:
This may vary because of our different systems but when I use Disk Utility to burn it has a drop down menu where I can select the burn speed. The version of DU I'm using is 10.5.1 (198.1). Since my drive is a DVR-104 and the burn speed is limited to 1X but the menu is there.
I also use Toast to burn DVD disc images and it will allow you to set the burn speed.

Max burning speed for iMac drive?

Internal SuperDrive is MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-875
Should I burn at 8x or 16x?

Hi
In iDVD up to version 6 You can't set burn speed.
In iDVD08 and 09 - You can
If You use Roxio Toast™ - You can
Apple Disk Util tool - You can set here too
If You don't select iDVD sets speed acordingly to DVD disk eg x16
As faster - as many write errors
I use x1 when able to select
On older iDVD I use DVD x2 disks.
I would
• Use iDVD to do a DiskImage
• Use Disk Util tool or Toast™ to make the burn at x1 speed
Using iDVD 4 - then You need a Hack to make it able to do the DiskImage

"burn speed to fast"

When I try to burn a playlist from iTunes 4.9 I get the error message "burn speed to fast for your CD burner or media". I've tried setting the speed to X2 and even X1 and it still won't work. I've tried it as an audio cd, mp3, and data cd. There were quite a few threads about this in the last few months, but none seemed to end in a solution. I have a superdrive in a year old eMac. I have also noticed intermittent problems with it not reading purchased CD's. Could it be something as simple as getting the lens cleaned?
Please Help!

Having the same problem myself. Just started today. I burned a few CDs on Sunday, no problem. Now every time I try to burn with media that has worked before I have two things happen:
1) Not matter what media or burn speed I've selected, I get the "burn speed is to fast for your media or burner, lower it in preferences" message.
2) After adjusting the burn speed in preferences, I then try burning again. iTunes will check the media for a couple minutes and then just spit the CD out without any error message.
I've rebuilt permissions and restarted, since those are my only steps to trouble-shoot OS X. It's still doing it.
I'm seeing SEVERAL threads with this same problem from a variety of users in both iTunes 4.8 and 4.9. The only update I've applied between the last time I was able to burn and now was the most recent security update (did that yesterday).
Anyone out there finding any leads?
I'm about to try Toast, but that'll be a pain because it's a specific playlist I wanted to burn that I compiled in iTunes.
Thanks in advance...

A WAY TO CHANGE THE BURN SPEED????

Hi,
I posted a similar question before, but didnt get a definative answer... I'll ask it in a more concise way. Is there a way to change the burn speed in DVD SP2? I didn't see any settings relating to that.
Thanks,
Lisa

There is a work around. In DVD Pro, "format" with the output device set to disc and the format to ".img". When this is finished, open Disk Utility and "convert" the .img file to a CD/DVD master (.cdr). This file can then be used to burn to a blank DVD. If you click the options arrow in the burn dialog before beginning the burn, you can select a speed other than "maximum". Not elegant, but it works. My HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4165B DVD drive only succeeds at burning at its maximum rate about 1/3 of the time. However, at 12X it has been quite reliable.
