Can not burn disc

When I try to share my imovie 6 with idvd it renders everything but when it reaches the multiplexing & burning point it quits. I also can not make a magic movie in idvd. I can however make a one step dvd but only after a computer re start. I have dumped programs and re installed to no avail.
Is this a hardware or software problem? Thank you for any input.

Hi
Then You got PLENTY.
When not knowing what to do.
There are a set of things to test:
1. Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk: It should have 25Gb or more. This is especially important when running iDVD.
iDVD can’t address any other hard disk as scratch-disk so space is of uttermost importance.
2. The Hard disk is untidy:
Repair Permissions (Apple Disc Util tool) - Run this
Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool) - To run this You need to start from a CD/DVD or external hard disk.
3. Delete iDVD pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and have a re-try
4. Let Your Mac turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help.
5. Program miss-match:
iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.3.9 AND QuickTime 6.5.2 - is OK
iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4 - is OK
iDVD 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4 - is OK
6. UPDATES - is important: iLifeSupport8.1.1.dmg is important for running iLife08 bundle.
7. iDVD (08) Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
8. Mac OS X.5 (Leopard) - at least iDVD 1 to 4 - don’t work any more
9. Trying to collect info on. Leopard system:
iDVD08 - - - - - - - - - - not working - - - -> Should be soluble
iDVD 6 - - - - - - - - - - not working - - - -> Should be soluble
iDVD 5 - - - - - - - - - - not working - - - -> Don’t bother - will not work
iDVD 4 or previous - - - - not working - - - -> Don’t bother - will not work
Yours Bengt W

  • I can not burn CD's with my Itunes anymore. It tells  me I am missing CD burner and to re download ITunes. I have done that and it stills does not work. Every time I try, Disc Recorder not found keeps coming up! Please someone help me!!!

    I can not burn a CD with my itunes anymore. It tells me to re download itunes. I have done that and still have the same problem. When I do try, Missing disc recorder keeps coming up. Please help!!!!

    Hello again, Stew.
    Also when I open itunes it gives me a warning and says "The registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importingand burning cd's and dvds are missing. Please reinstall itunes."
    With that one let's first try a reboot and repair.
    Reboot the PC (very important), and the do a *repair install* of iTunes.
    Go to your "Add or Remove Programs" control panel, select iTunes, click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Does iTunes launch without the error message now?
    If no luck there, try checking for a device filter conflict in your registry:

  • Can not burn a Blu-ray disc

    The problem: Can not burn a Blu-ray disc.
    I open Premiere Elements 12 and load my project and then go to “publish and share” my project, I select "create Disc – Burn DVD, Blu-ray and AVCHD disc", I select "Blu-ray", the disc location and settings box opens and the “status” setting indicates "Media not present”.  I know the Pioneer Blu-ray BDR-2208 drive works properly because I have already published regular DVDs in it and had no problems.  I thought perhaps it was a problem with the initializing of the disc whether you choose (Mastered) as opposed to (Live File System). Neither works. I tired Phillips BD-R disc & Memorex BD-RE disc, neither works.  The only thing I noticed was the burner location setting is indicating a Pioneer BDR-208M burner rather than a Pioneer BDR-2208 burner. Could this be the problem? Remember that burner will burn regular DVD's.  Does Premiere Elements 12 require some other additional software on my computer to burn a Blu-ray disc?  Also is there a list of compatible Blu-ray burners? BTW I am using Windows 8.1.

    Attached is a screenshot of the dialog box that opens up when I place a regular DVD or Blu-ray in my desktop computer.
    In order for me to burn a DVD project in premiere elements if I do not initialize the disc with the above procedure I receive a media not present in the settings box of premiere elements.  I assumed I have to do the same thing with a Blu-ray too.  I've tried following this procedure, also tried using the live file system.  Also tried putting a fresh disc in without doing anything to it and always receive the media not present in the status setting.  One suggestion has been that another program is interfering with premiere elements.  I will also go out and purchase some Verbatim BD-RE disc, whether they work right now or not I can always use them later after I solve my problem.
    I Have a lot of great suggestions from you guys and I really appreciate it.  I'm going to work on some of those today starting with loading imgburn and see if I can indeed burn a Blu-ray disc with my system.  I have already created a AVCHD BDMV file on my computer and I will start with trying to work with that and see if that is successful and then come back to premiere elements.  I appreciate the input regarding Cyberlink software.  I have version 8 (came with my Pioneer Blu-ray Drive) and was thinking about upgrading to the latest version but with your input regarding Power Producer I will save my money.
    Another thought I had, with Blu-ray disc burners being as cheap as they are purchase one that has been proven to work with premiere elements 12.1.  Time is money, the cost of a new Blu-ray burner is insignificant.  I will consider this option later.

  • ITunes Won't Recognize Optical Drive / Can't Burn Discs.

    Hi. I’m having some problems w/ an installation of iTunes on a Windows 64 bit PC.  Specifically, when iTunes is installed, Windows 7 no longer recognizes the optical drive, and I can't burn discs via iTunes.  I’ve attempted to implement all the solutions identified here,
    Optical Drive is No Longer Recognized, or "Disc Burner or Software Not Found" alert after Install

    , and still find myself trapped in a vicious circle; i.e., (1) with iTunes installed Windows 7 no longer recognizes the optical drive, (2) Upon clearing the UpperFilters Value  of GEARAspiWDM  in the registry at  {4De36E965 … } Windows 7 functions as expected and I can play cds in iTunes, but iTunes produces an error messages at start up along the lines of “iTunes did not install properly. Or, there’s a registry error ”  In either case, I am not able to burn cds via iTunes.
    My most rigorous effort amounted to (1) uninstalling  all Apple products and third party GEAR driver update software via Control Panel, (2) a registry repair w/ Registry Mechanic and (3) reinstallation of all identifiable Apple software.  Still the problem remains.
    Apple I love you, but you’re bringing me down

  • New problem. I can not burn a playlist to disk.

    New problem. I can not burn a playlist to disk. The 'checking playlist' now takes about one second, looks very much like a malfunction here. Seems to initialize the disk - them moves straight into 'burning/finalizing disk' which also takes about one second. Then 'burning - finishing disk takes a little longer -
    Error reading is "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The disk drive didn't respond properly an can't recover.'
    This happend once before a while back and I thought it was 'too skinny disks'. Using 'printable disks; seemed to fix the problem - until now.
    Blank cd's can  be opened in the finder and files burnt to them.
    DVD's can be burned from DVD Pro.
    Music cd's and dvd's can be played.
    Just can't burn the itunes playlist.

  • Since 10.4.4 (10.4.5) - i can not burn Data-DVDs anymore...

    System: iMac G4, 1GHz, 1GB RAM, Mac OS X 10.4.5, 4x SuperDrive (SONY DVD RW DW-U10A)
    Dear Apple Support,
    since Mac OS X 10.4.4 (same with 10.4.5) i can not burn a Data DVD-RW anymore. It is so annoying. I want to burn my backup on a DVD-RW with the Burn Folders in Mac OS X. it is not possible.
    The Finder burn dialog hangs at the "ending burning process". It is so annoying.
    It's not possible to erase this "half burned" DVD-RW too! So I have here a lot of destroyed DVD-RWs around me...
    The burning of DVD-RWs is a problem since 10.4.0 here on my machine. With 10.4.3 it was half o.k. ... But since 10.4.4 (10.4.5) nothing works anymore.
    Your product "Mac OS X Tiger" is nearly one year in the market. And burning a Data-DVD is not a exotical thing. It is a essential feature of a Operating System today. So what are you doing in your Test-Labs?
    I am sitting here since 1 year with an Operating System from Apple an it doesn't works in the essential features.
    Whats about your slogan "It just works"?
    What happens with the quality of Apple?
    Under 10.3.9 Panther i can burn everything. It absolutly no problem there.
    So i don't understand what are you doing with Tiger?
    It's so annoying!
    Regards
    Roessner

  • I can not burn dvds anylonger with my MacPro. Why ?

    Hi everyone. I already posted this message in another thread but got no useful replies.
    Configuration: MacPro Early 2008, MacOSX 10.6.8
    I can not burn dvds anymore and do not know why. I can play dvds and cds though!
    The following is the usual error message displaying after clicking the button burn :
    I have run Disk Utility from the Install cd of Snow Leopard and the small things which needed repairs have been repaired.
    I have reset the PRAM and the SMC (System Management Controller). Nothing.
    I have set up a new user account with admin privileges but it did not work.
    Please, note that I am trying to burn the same Kodak Pro dvds for photo and data archival that I burned in the past in the same MacPro.
    I am actually burning my dvds using my MacBook Pro connected with my MacPro through Airport but it's a very slow process, of course.
    Any piece of advice ?
    Thank you !

  • I still can not burn my music ...Not Happy!

    I have been there done that and I am getting NO WHERE?  I can not burn my music still I have been through several disks, and have tried all trouble shooting suggested by iTunes.  I have had my Dell Support tech team run all dianostics , update all my drivers, ect...  My other media software burns just fine.
    This all started about 1 month ago while I was in the itunes store and received a prompt to upgrade my itunes, I did the upgrade and have not been able to burn "My Music" I bought from itunes.  This is a shame that the itune support team can not find a fix to their customers needs!  I have spent hours on this problem!!
    Does anyone out there know of another Music site that I can join?  Make sure to send a support email to the itunes support team...  I am going to ask for my money back for my music and move on from this whole apple/itunes BS real soon!  There Customer Support  is good for nothing and does not seem to care,,,isn't it strange how apple phone support does not support itunes!  They are going to lose a lot of customers and money...I don't get it??
    Does anyone get it??

    Same here. I have a jailbroken iPhone 3G running on 4.0.1 and iTunes 9.2.1 - iTunes tells me the phone is syncing. The phone says "Sync in Progress" but after it is done, zilt! nothing! nada!
    Has anyone with the same configs figured out a solution?
    Thanks

  • I can not burn a cd in itunes.  It tells me the drivers for importing and burning cd and dvds are missing.  It tells me to reinstall itunes.  I have done this several times and it does not help.

    I can not burn a cd in itnes.  When I open itunes it tells me the dirvers for importing and burning cds & dvds are missing.  It tells me to reinstall itunes.  I have done this and it does not help.  How can I solve this problem?

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

    Then this comes up
    You have inserted a blank DVD but originally selected a CD format. Are you sure you wish to create a data DVD instead?

    You have restarted the computer?
    How old is this drive?

  • Can't burn disc via iTunes. Burn speed too fast. AGAIN!

    "iTunes can't burn this CD because the burn speed is too fast for your CD burner or media. Choose a lower speed in the burning pane of iTunes Preferences then try burning again".
    I have been having on going problems burning CD’s in iTunes for YEARS, and I know I am not the only one. I get the error message above. Having checked the forum at the time, and posted for help, I am know there is no real solution except to change brand of disc.
    Thing is, now I can’t get ANY brands to work. I’ve been through Verbatim, Maxell, JVC, Sony, but none work. The only brand that would work were TDK audios which I can no longer find anywhere.
    I know its not the burner, as Toast works fine, and I know I am not alone. Anyone got any ideas?
    Even after years Apple seem to be blanking this question. It’s very frustrating not being able to burn my purchased itunes downloads to disc.

    To anyone who is interested I think I may have found a possible solution. When you put a blank disc in the drive, wait about 30-60 seconds or so for it to stop spinning before burning.
    This seems to work. It's a bit sticky but eventually works. I tried both TDK & Maxwell discs and 9 out of 11 worked. Absolutely no reason why the other 2 didn't, but it's a lot better than none.

  • I can not burn a DVD-R in my Imac!

    Error: The burn to the OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5690H drive failed. The disc drive did not respond enquiry.c and can not recover or retry.

    Ffirst and foremost you have to use the very best in blank media, like Maxell,  Sony, or one of the many others. Next is the disc burning software you use. Last what is the content, movies, data, or anything it may be.  (EXAMPLE) Some users have had issues burning from Microsoft Office Software. More info would surely help.
