Can I burn a 10.33GB movie on a 4.7 GB Dvd-r?

Cut an Imovie that is 48 minutes long and 10.33GB
I try to create Imovie Magic with IDVD8 and burn it on a 4.7 DVD-R.
Takes 33 hours to render and burn. Is that nuts?
The computer usually shuts down or freezes and I can't continue.
I have another Mac, and I'm trying to burn the same movie on it
This time, I use an external drive. Takes 7 hours to burn, then as it's about to finish, it craps out. Sometimes it gives me a multiplexor error.
In the past, with Idvd 6, I've burned similar type and length movies onto a dvd.
What gives?
email me at [email protected]

Don't move the iDVD application out of the Applications folder. That will mess up any updates as that's where the updaters look for the application.
Do you mean that you only have 16GB free on your HD or 16 GB total? If you need room on the boot drive you can move your iTunes and iPhoto libraries to one of the external HDs and run them from there. Also you can regain some free space by running Monolingual to remove the unneeded language modules. Just be sure to not delete English or very bad things will happen.

How can I burn more than 1 movie to a DVD when there is room on the disc for it. Premiere wants to overwrite once 1 movie is burned to the disc

How can I burn more than 1 movie onto a DVD? Once 1 movie is burned successfully to the disc, I try to burn another movie and Premiere wants to overwrite the first movie. One movie is 1.2 GB, second is 2.3; so there is room on a 4.7 GB DVD-RW.

What you report is what it is.
Each burn to of Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO format on DVD disc results in the disc containing one OpenDVD Folder and one VIDEO_TS Folder.
Only one VIDEO_TS Folder can be put on a DVD-VIDEO disc even when Premiere Elements is not involved. I have seen that written about online, and I have
never found a way to overcome what seems to be basic behavior description of DVD-VIDEO..
Premiere Elements will allow you to write to a disc with content already on it, but only after you give the OK for erasing the disc content before going ahead
with the burn to.
If you have several movies, one possibility is to build a Timeline with the movies, use stop markers, and setup disc menus according so that the viewer
can selectively watch the movies. More on that later if wanted.
Any questions or need clarification, please ask.
Thank you.

Re-Toast DVD - is it the same as IDVD - That is can you burn a number of .mov slide shows on the same disk? Thank you

Re-Toast DVD - is it the same as IDVD - That is can you burn a number of .mov slide shows on the same disk? Thank you

Toast can author and burn video DVDs but it's not nearly as versatile as iDVD is in creating video DVDs. Toast can only create one menu so all items must be on it, i.e. no sub-menus, no animated menus, etc.

How can i burn an itunes downloaded movie to dvd?

I have purchased movies from itunes, downloaded them and can only burn them to data DVD...which is useless in a DVD player. How can I burn these movies to DVD so that I can view them on a DVD player?

See the iTunes Terms & Conditions, Usage Rules v. "(v) You shall not be entitled to burn video iTunes Products or tone iTunes Products." Additionally, you are only licensed to use iTunes products on iTunes authorized devices, which DVD players are not.

Can I burn a Blu-Ray movie on an Imac?

I'm aware of the issues involving Blu-Ray playback on Mac.....my question is simple though:
If I use Final Cut to make a blu-ray movie and purchase an external blu-ray burner, can I make a blu-ray video disk for playback on a blu-ray player hooked up to a television?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

OWC's hardware product descriptions, for example
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MRF8BDSD8X/
says that you can. However, current Apple software cannot burn to Blu-ray discs. Third-party software, such as Toast 10
http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/titanium/overview.html
should be able to burn to Blu-ray discs. I am not sure if this capability is just for burning data discs, or if it can create Blu-ray movie discs.

How can I burn family videos on a CD to play on a DVD player?

I burned some amily videos onto a CD but was unable to play it on the DVD player. I have plenty of CD's. I don't have any blank DVD's. Is ther a relatively simple way to resolve this?

You first edit and create your movie in iMovie, then you transfer that project to iDVD to create a DVD that will play on any DVD player or computer. That is what iDVD is for. Video on CD rarely works except on the computer that created them.

Need Help ASAP!! Can't burn my project on Premiere 4.0 to PC or DVD!!

I have been working on this project for so long! Its a compilation of videos and photos and music. Its only 11 minutes long. I had a horrible time creating it because the program shut down every other minute, but I did finish it. As I attempted to burn it to the computer or to a DVD, it wouldn't allow me to. So I have been trying to save it to my computer just so I can open it up in another DVD burning program, but as its burning to the computer, it only gets to about 10% and then says there is a transcoding error. Also if I try to save it another way to the computer as an MPEG, its says there isn't video support and it is shutting down. Can someone help?!!! I tried calling support and they said the only talk to people if you are using the latest version and I have to depend on these forums for help. This is for work and I need it done in less than a week.

Gaps can be very small, and almost impossible to actually see.
First, I zoom in on the Timeline, to the Frame-level, and step through the Timeline, or play it, looking for a flash of black.
Next, I will hit Home, to get to the beginning of the Timeline, and then use the PageUP/PageDN keys to step through, Clip by Clip. I watch the CTI (Current Time Indicator w/ the red Edit Line) carefully. It should smoothly jump from Clip to Clip. With a tiny gap, say 1 Frame, the CTI will "hiccup," or "bounce." That is where the Gap is. How one fixes it will depend on where the gap is, and what one wants. Say that it's between two stills, I would then drag the Head of one, or the Tail of the other, to fill that gap. If it's between Video Clips, other choices might work best.
PrE has a "Close Gaps" function, but if one has Audio that covers that gap, it will not work.
One trick, that can get you to Transcoding is to add Transparent Video. Drag that to Video Track above all of your existing Video Clips, and extend it to "cover" the entire Timeline. The limitation of this method is that if there is a gap, there will be a black flash in the Video. If only 1 Frame, that might go undetected.
Usually, when one gets the ":Failure to Return Frame," there is a % of the Timeline, also listed. One can do the math to locate that on the Timeline. As PrE does a two-pass Transcode, then 100% of the Transcode is through two passes. The full Duration of the Timeline is at 50%, as that is the end of the first pass. That can be a bit confusing, as a glitch at 75% would mean that half-way through the second pass, there was an issue detected. Usually, if there is a glitch, it will be discovered in the first pass.
Good luck,
Hunt

Can't burn more than 2 hours using DVDSP 4

I am having trouble burning my project to a DVD. I have created 2 Quicktime.dv movies, in iMovie, that are approximately 1 hour 10 minutes each. I have taken the bitrate, in Preferences, all the way down to 2.0, using One Pass, and all I get is the message that says there is not enough space on the output media. What am I missing that I can't fit both of these movies on one 4.7 gig DVD blank?
Thank you.

Hi james - welcome to the discussions.
One reason for this error is that your hard drive is getting full. before DVDSP writes to disc it creates a copy of the build files in a location you specify. Have you got enough room on your drive?
The second thing to try is to encode these movies before you bring them in to DVDSP - this will give you a far more accurate idea of the file sizes you are dealing with. You should certainly be able to get your project onto a DVD-R with such a low bitrate, but you are likely to lose quality doing so. You can also afford to raise that bitrate slightly. If you encode the audio to AC3 you will free even more room for the video and you could get away with 2.5 as a setting... still woefully low for DV material.
Your options are therefore to either use DL DVD-R, or encode using MPEG1, or encode using MPEG2 at Half D1 resolution.

Can't burn CD: error 2122

Compelled to post anew since I haven't found any answers in any of the old threads addressing this problem.
I have upgraded the firmware on my AOpen DUW1608/ARR DVD-burner, tried different CD-R brands, and still get 'unknown error 2122' when i tried to burn my purchased music. The same burner works fine with Nero and WMedia.
Any answers anyone????
I have transmitted my CD-diagnostics to the Apple's "support" website - yeah, like that will help.

Go to Aopen's website and download firmware from the dropdown list for your product: http://download.aopen.com.tw/
Here's a direct link to the exact file I used:

This is definitely an iTunes problem - like I said, Nero can still burn audio cd's in a blink on my same DVD/RW - but iTunes craps out with an error 2122. Needless to say, I'm going to find my music elsewhere and not going to waste any more money on iTunes or any other apple product.
Having said that, I did manage to create an audio CD in a roundabout way - Take the wave-out and capture the audio into a wav file (i did this using Audacity) - then I burned the CD from Nero. But it's too much trouble than is worth especially if you have a lot of tracks - and i'm not going to do it again. Goodbye to draining my dollars down the iTunes drain.

Can't burn movie over 2 hours

I have a movie that is 2 hr 23 min. In iMovie HD 6.0.4, I added chapters every 15 minutes. When I import into iDVD 7.0.4, of course it says that the project is too big. I change to "Double-Layer 7.7 GB" I also change Encoding to "Professional Quality" or "High Quality" and the Capacity bar says Total: 143 min 4.52 GB & the color drops down about a 1/3. I add a couple pictures for the menus and take away the button pictutes. When I try to burn, the Capacity bar completely fills up, but only says 7.64 GB. The disc does not finish burning before being ejected and will not work in a DVD player. Also, when I save the project, the chapter fonts revert to default & some of the button window panes come back. I can change & save over & over with the same reversions still taking place.
I have tried saving to different sizes. Original file was 6 GB mp4. I have tried getting the file down to 2 GB mov and 1.62 GB mov, but still doesn't work. I tried reducing resolution & bit rate. I have not as of yet tried fps. Is there a particular trick I need to do? What other options can I try? I read that other people have been able to burn longer movies - up to 3 hours?

Can't burn iMovie3 movie on iDVD3

I've used iMovie3 to make a short (3 min) film, but can't figure out how to burn it. I followed the instructions (several times) by clicking on the iDVD button and hit "create a new iDVD project." The quiet "gerbil" sounds ensued for about 2-3 minutes. But nothing appears to have been transferred, so nothing can be burned. I'm using OSX tiger. Any advice? Should I upgrade to iLife 6.0? I've always struggled with iDVD which seems counterintuitive at virtually every step.

Hi, Whitewater.
Are your movie files stored on an external hard drive? If so, I have the same problem with iMovie3 with movie files that don’t share the same space as the iMovie3 and iDVD3 applications. My workaround is to copy the movie file (and all it’s contents, media, etc.) back to my hard drive first. Then iDVD launches from iMovie just fine. Seems like the movie files and the application need to share the same drive in order to “talk” to each other.
Note: Once iDVD is launched you won’t be able to burn the dvd until the entire file is done encoding. This can take a while depending on the size of your movie. You can check the progress of this in iDVD by selecting the Customize button and the Status tab. The upside is that you can have fun with themes and settings while you wait!

Movie made in iMovie HD 6 can't burn DVD as is

I have edited and titled and added stills with Ken Burns effect and the movie previews exactly as I want my DVD to play. I exported to iDVD and it asks me to start all over with chapters and titles and all that. I just want to burn my DVD from exactly what I put together on iMovie HD 6. Please help

How to create a DVD 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.
3. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: 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.
4. 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:

How can I burn a dvd with a short movie file on my Imac so it will play on a dvd player? I keep getting an error message on my player "wrong disc type".

How can I burn a small movie file to a dvd that will play on a dvd player? I keep getting an error message "wrong type of disc" on my player. My burner is built in to my monitor. Will I have to buy software such as Toast to burn with?

I'm using the burner utility that came with the computer. The video is on I took with my small camera. I'm using a DVD-r disc and I drag the file to the disc icon then hit burn and everything seems ok. I can remove the disc and put it back in and see the file but if I put it in a DVD player it won't play, just get error message.
