Can't burn 57 min imovie to idvd 5

Everything works fine, but at the end my movie did not burn to the dvd. I had to go to best quality as it was originally 4.0, I deleted some of the movie so not it is 3.9.
I just downloaded idvd 5.01
any other suggetions?
thanks,
Pam

Kim I suggest you try your luck over in the iDVD discussion forum rather than the eMac forum, as this is an iDVD issue, not really an eMac issue.
Best of luck!

    Hi
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.

    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

  • IMovie does not "share" to iDVD. How can i burn an iMovie to DVD?  I do have a copy of iDVD on my Mac

    IMovie 11 does not "share" to iDVD. How can i burn an iMovie to DVD?  I do have a copy of iDVD on my Mac

    My advice, keep iDVD on your Apple Mac as it is a great software and let's hope Apple will introduce it again in imovie 10.  Since you may have imovie 10.0 (2013) up-dated from imvovie 9.0 (which included iDVD for burning your home made films on imvoie 9.0,)  you can proceed as follows to burn it on a DVD:
    a) your film is completed on imovie 10.0.  Under share transfer it to "Theatre" (default).
    b) open iDVD  and drag the film ex "Theatre" on the space "movie" of i.DVD. 
    c) Inser a DVD and clic on "burn"...
    It worked for me.

  • I'm trying to burn an iMovie in iDVD and at the end of the whole burn process it says "Multiplexer Error" "there was an error during formatting".  How do I fix it so that it'll burn?

    Hi
    Multiplexing error is a very complex problem due to many things (long long list following) - one common but not obvious reason is that material on the iDVD menu goes outside the TV-Safe area (or just touching it).
    So first - turn on TV-Safe area and move any object well inside of this.
    Wide screen stretched - usually (as I think) it is due to making a 4x3 movie in a 16x9 wide-screen project OR the other way around. This forces one to on flat-screen TV (or other) set the presenting view right - My has 4x3, wide-screen, zoom and auto-wide-screen and I have to switch this by my remote for some DVD I've made "wrong" way.
    Now my long long list on Multiplex Error

    I always makes a DiskImage first and test this so that it runs OK
    I use only - Verbatim DVDs

    I burn at an as slow speed possibly e.g. x1
    This gives good DVDs

    Back again. Here is what I have found to work. I also have and use a LaCie DVD-R/RW DL external drive and a LaCie external hard drive as well. Since yesterday I have tried a few ways to burn a themed iDVD project having four 56 minute movies on it, amounting to 226 minutes onto a DVD DL disc, capacity 240 minutes. Apple tech support really didn't know what to do but gave me a very good tip. I had two options left. Apple tech support's tip was to try disc image. One of the replies on a thread with this subject said not to, but my experience today is good. Put your project onto "Burn to disc image," under "iDVD, file." Yesterday encoding took me 23 1/2 hours. Overnight for iDVD disc image, encoding took 21 1/2 hours (again) while I slept. This morning I tried to copy/burn disc image to a DVD with Roxio Toast 7, and it stopped near the end of the burn with some kind of "error" message. So then I tried Utilities> Disc Utility> Burn icon, and followed it through. Be sure to click the DVD DL drive in the window "Burn disc in.". I had one other problem though. At the end of a 46 minute copy, it started to verify, and at the end of verify it rejected the burn. So I tried again, and when "verify" appeared, I clicked on "Skip." The disc finished burning and is doing fine and well. A long and tortuous process, but at last something works. I made several additional copies using Disc Utility. Best wishes. Chuck, Chicago.
    2. Disconnect any other external devices not absolutely needed.
    e.g. external USB/USB2 hard disks, other FW hard disks etc.

    (Not a 'guy' but I will answer!)
    First, I do not think that mixing wide-screen and standard makes a difference in iDVD.
    Second, you should use a better brand of DVD disk. Also, many of us have experienced fewer problems on playback with DVD-R disks. Recommended brands here are Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden. Memorex and TDK are not consistent and may not give you a correct burn. They apparently have fewer layers in the composition of the disk. I have always used Verbatim DVD-R disks and have not had any burn problems.
    Also, choose a slower burn speed, 4x or less.
    Third, to determine if the iDVD project will burn properly, create a disk image file (from within iDVD, go File->Save as Disk Image) and test it. Mount the disk image and then open DVD Player (in Applications) and view your project. If it plays correctly, you can then burn the actual DVD disk from the disk image file using Disk Utility.

    I did everything I've seen suggested, but a friend (who used to be an Apple Genius) suggested that I do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
    It worked, and I got a clean burn from iDVD.
    Hopefully this can help other people.

    Well, I finally got it, and it was odd enough to post here incase anyone looks this topic up again. Many things were tried, including burning the unedited film, the edited film without titles and chapter markers, abbreviating the chapter markers in case length was the issue (remember the old iMovie used to truncate them when moving to iDVD?). In the process, I noticed that one, and only one, chapter marker was on the same line as the title marker. All the others were on the line above. The only way I seemed able to change that was to clip a few seconds of film. After that last clip, the offending marker took a place on the line above, as were all the others. That run published, compiled completely and burned. That's one for the books.

    To add my experience with Multiplex Errors using iDVD (7.0.4), I recently created two iDVD projects
    Video from both passed from FCE 4.01 with chapters
    One project worked fine in creating disk image file
    The other gave Multiplex Errors
    I tried suggestions to remove special characters and no chapter marks at beginning, but nothing worked
    Note that I've used iDVD for dozens of projects and this is first time I've run into Multiplex Errors
    Anyway, for problem project, I tried an experiment where I removed all chapters in FCE and passed to new iDVD project
    This time multiplex errors gone
    So had something to do with chapters
    So now I tried numerous experiments to remove individual chapters and try again creating disk image with new iDVD project
    After numerous tries, I was able to narrow problem down to 1 "Bad" chapter mark
    That is, when I left the "bad" chapter in my FCE project and passed to iDVD, iDVD gave multiplex error
    When I removed "bad" chapter mark (and others in), no multiplex error
    As a final experiment, I moved "bad" chapter mark about 5-10 sec's beyond original point and passed to iDVD, the multiplex errors now magically went away and I was able to finally create my disk image.
    I have no idea why this worked, but thought I'd mention here in case someone else runs into similar problem.

    In addition to Bengt's fine advice, burning errors can occur if you have located any of your menu buttons wholly or partly outside of the safe TV viewing area. Go to your main project menu, then click on View/Show TV Safe Area, to check. Drag into the safe viewing area any buttons that are outside the safe viewing area.
    Russ One - suggest this
    Multiplex Error-There was an error during muxing preparation
    One thing that worked for me was to export the video w/o chapter markers as a self contained movie (thereby not loosing the edits & etc). Then make a new FCE project and import that movie into a new sequence and add the chapter markers. I've used "-", "&" and "," with no problem in the chapter names. Removing the markers or exporting without them did solve the problem but renaming them with just numbers 1,2,3....5, did not solve the problem and since this problem seems to happen with with iMovie as well, it would suggest the problem is in the video or audio and in combination with the chapter markers iDVD just can't handle it. The only other possibility is that both iMovie and FCE share the same or similar chapter marker code that some how is corrupting the markers.
    Summary - What to try
    1. Chapters
    • Only A to Z and 0 to 9 in chapter title
    • No Chapter mark at very beginning of movie
    • No Chapter mark in or within 2 seconds from any transition in movie
    2. TV-safe area for buttons (no one outside this)
    3. Safe re-boot
    4. No other external devices connected - that are not needed
    SDMacuser adds to this
    • On #4 ... No ext. devices. Some think this applies mainly to ext. FW. Not the case. Also applies to ext. USB2 as well (not to mention flash drives too).
    Do not leave 3rd party devices / camera / camcorder plugged in unless it is being used with iDvd's One Step process. Certain web cams can trigger this also (especially ones with added features like LED light/s that draw additional power from the FW or USB bus).
    5. Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-up hard disk
    6. Make a DiskImage first - reduces where problem originates
    7. Trash iDVD pref. file
    8. Make a new iDVD project
    9. Movies in project with same aspect ratio e.g. 4x3 or 16x9
    10. No other programs/applications running during iDVD process. e.g. Internet, screen & energy savers

  • How can I burn an iMovie project in DVD Studio Pro?

    I created a DVD in iMovie for a friend, then burned the disc with iDVD. When I play it on my home DVD player it looks and sounds fine - but when he plays it on his DVD player, it looks fine but the audio is poor and echoes a lot. I looked at his setup, and he has DTS (digital theater sound), and from my primitive research, I found out the iDVD does not support DTS. I do however own DVD Studio Pro 3 which supposedly does support DTS - however I have never used this program and need some help figuring it out.
    Is it possible to take the project that I created in iMovie and burn it in DVD Studio Pro so that it would be compatible with a DTS setup? I would need very specific steps to doing this because I have never used DVD Studio Pro before.

    and he has DTS (digital theater sound), and from my primitive research, I found out the iDVD does not support DTS. I do however own DVD Studio Pro 3 which supposedly does support DTS
    iDVD creates DVDs with uncompressed audio (PCM). DVDSP (FCStudio) has no DTS conversion capabilites, just Dolby Digital (AC3).
    I think that your friend DTS system must play stereo PCM too; you could check in its documentation.
    What I do know is that DVDs with uncompressed audio (we are talking about computer created and burned ones in particular) can be difficult to play fine in some players because the high bitrate.
    I'm not an iMovie expert but as far I remember you can export your movie from there as high quality video (you must get a QuickTime movie with same settings that your footage) and convert it to MPEG2 video and AC3 audio using Compressor, and finally importing those assets to DVDSP.
    I hope this help !

  • How can I burn my imovie creation onto a disk so that it will play on windows or other computers?

    I have been trying to burn my imovie project onto a DVD to show it to my school, but the school has windows computers so the disk won't play. I have already tried to use iDVD but nothing is working. How can I burn my project onto a disk so it will play on a windows format? I have the latest version of imovie by the way. Any tips or advice would be helpful. Thanks!

    What do you mean by "nothing is working"? Create an iDVD project, burn to disk and it can be played on a PC as long as the PC can play video DVDs, either commercial or home made.
    Export the movie out of iMovie as 480p.  Open iDVD, select your theme and drag the movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones that may be present.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    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, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is 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.

  • Can't get my iMovie into iDVD 4.0.1

    I am having great difficulties getting my iMovie into iDVD. (Have made many dvds in the past from iMovie and never had a problem so this is new.) I have tried every way to do it (when previously had no problem just clicking on "Create DVD" pane). The movie won't show up on iDVD when I do this now. Either just "My Great DVD" comes up or a previous iDVD project. I have tried via Share/iDVD; I have tried to import from iDVD (get an "unsupported file type - invalid video" message). Any ideas? Thanks!

    The movie that's in the iDVD folder (of the Shared Movies folder) contains chapter information. If you imported that movie to iDVD, iDVD should have delivered chapters.
    Make sure your iDVD preferences are set to accept chapters.
    If nothing works, this failure of iMovie 5 to export to iDVD suggests some kind of underlying problem. I suspect something is corrupt in the video or audio content.
    Try importing that made-for-iDVD movie I mentioned to a NEW iMovie 5 project. (Drag it to the Timeline of the project.) That should deliver "cleaner" video/audio. Add your chapters to THAT project, send it to iDVD. Everything might start working as it should.

  • Can I burn an iMovie 11 project directly to a DVD without using iDVD?

    Is it possible, after finalizing an iMovie project, to burn it directly from iMovie 11 to a DVD without first exporting it to iDVD?
    The project consists of old Super 8 movies that were digitized and imported into iMovie 11, so the quality doesn't start out very well; I don't want the quality to get any worse. I am looking for a quick way to share this file with family members who only have a DVD player.
    Looking for answers quickly, as we just finished the project and my daughter want my daughter, who is leaving tomorrow a.m. to return home, to take it with her. Thanks for any help.

    If your movie is less than about 13 minutes, and you want super quality, forget iDVD. I found a way to create a super high-quality .mov file that fits on a DVD and you can burn it yourself, and anyone can play it.  If you're willing to live with a slightly degraded version, you can put a 106-minute video on a DVD, and it'll look just fine to a group sitting in a room.
    Having slogged my way through iMovie’s “Help,” online Apple Help and numerous blogs like this one with solutions that were frustratingly varied, hard to follow and even outright contradictory, I gave up and did my own methodical tests to see which combination of options and settings yielded the best result for creating a file on my desktop that can be shared.
    Here’s what I worked with:  I have a four-minute movie created in iMovie ’11, with nice titles and credits that fade in and out, and one-second cross dissolves in the film.  The movie is 3x4 aspect ratio, not letterbox.  Looks smooth and clean as can be in iMovie, full screen.  (If it matters, I am working on a Mac OS 10.6.8; Processor 2 x 2.66 Ghz 6-core Intel Xeon; Memory 8 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3.  I don’t see any “RAM” numbers for my computer.)
    Tried exporting through Quicktime and not exporting through Quicktime. Most settings resulted in titles that were either fuzzy or were not clean and smooth during the fades, and often videos that were choppy and would freeze every second or so. Some had clean imagery and would play fine but got very pixilated during transitions (dissolves).  Some that were much larger (higher megabyte numbers) and took longer to  generate the file were actually of lower quality.  Go figure.
    Of all the tests I did, the best results came from doing the following. Here are two options:
    For a small, convenient file that came to only 176 MB for my 4-minute movie, if you’re willing to live with some very slight image degradation and titles that show some slight compression during fades -- but looks perfect from across a room:
    1)  Share > Export using Quicktime > “Export: Movie to Quicktime” / “Use: Most Recent Settings”
    2)  Click “Options”
    3)  Click “Settings”
    4)  Compression: MPEG-4 Video
    5)  Frame Rate: Current
    6)  Key Frames: Every 24 frames
    7)  Frame Reordering -- unchecked
    8)  Compressor Quality: Best
    9)  Data Rate: “Restrict to 6400 kbits/sec”
    10)  Click “OK” and return to “Movie Settings”
    11)  Ignore “Filter” unless you want to alter the look of your video.
    12)  Adjust “Size” accordingly to your wishes. I clicked it, then selected “1920 x 1080 HD” and checked “Preserve aspect ratio using: Fit within dimensions.” This results in an image 1440 x 1080 (to fit within 1920 x 1080).  Remember that if you don’t preserve your original aspect ratio you’ll get a larger/wider movie, but the top and bottom of your image will be cut off.
    13)  If your video is silent, make sure “Sound” is unchecked. I read somewhere that this speeds up the file-creating process.
    14)  Hit “OK”
    15)  Be sure to check where you want your file to appear. I chose “Desktop.”
    16)  Hit “Save”
    That’s it!  In my case, after about six minutes, I had a “.mov” file on my desktop that anyone can easily play (people may have to have Quicktime, though, as I understand it, but I believe that’s a free download; you do NOT need Quicktime Pro which costs $).  I uploaded the file to a file-sharing site (Hightail) for others to download, and, testing it, it took me only a few moments to download (I have a FiOS fiber-optic connection, so if you don’t, it will likely take a little longer).  The downloaded file played perfectly and suffered no degradation whatever from the one I generated to my desktop from iMovie.
    For a super high-res version, if you’re willing to live with the size, the ONLY difference is No. 9: Change your Data Rate to “Automatic.”  But as mentioned in the beginning, a standard DVD-R will only hold about 13 minutes of footage at this quality.
    Oddly, this super-quality version took about the same six minutes to generate the desktop .mov file, but the resulting 1.44 GB file is far, far superior.  You’ll be thrilled with the result! 
    The only downside –– to all of the file tests I did –– is that there is a slight loss of color saturation and contrast from the original iMovie imagery I worked with, particularly with the reds and oranges which become a bit muted.  The blacks/darks came up a bit, yielding slightly less contrast.  But these drawbacks are minor, to me.
    If someone knows of a way to preserve the exact original color saturation and contrast, I’m all ears.

  • Can't import to iMovie when iDVD is encoding/burning...Any Ideas?

    When I am burning/encoding in iDVD, iMovie will not let me import any video. I am connected, via firewire, to a Sony VX2000 camera, and I have had the problem ever since I upgraded to the newest iDVD and iMovie software. It says Camera Disconnected or Off, and it disables the import button.
    Any ideas?

    When I am burning/encoding in iDVD, iMovie will not
    let me import any video.
    I guess I'M not surprised! During burning/encoding in iDVD there is a whole lot of computing and disk access going on. Our normal advice in the past has been to simply walk away and stop using your computer during burning/encoding. I CERTAINLY wouldn't try to import video from a camera.
    Creating DVDs requires lots of patience (and free hard disk space).

  • Why can't I burn my imovie through idvd?

    I have the movie all ready on iDVD and I press the burn button and it says "Insert a recordable DVD disc".  So I insert a blank, DVD+R disc and within 10 seconds, it says the same thing "insert a recordable DVD disc".  What should I do?

    Hi
    A. What Brand is Your DVD ? Memorex ? - I only use Verbatim
    B. If iDVD starts to behave strangely - then first thing is to stop iDVD - trash iDVD Pref file and then re-start it.
    C. Free space on Start-Up hard disk. How much ?

  • Can't burn a DVD using IDVD nor Disk Utility- first time user-what is wrong

    The recording device reported the media error: Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.)
    May 13, 2007 8:05pm PDT
    IDVD Version 6.0.3
    Emac- OS 10.3.9--- in the owner's manual it DOES state my emac can burn DVDs. Is this correct?
    I keep getting this error message after about 20 minutes of programming the DVD-- then it ejects with this message:
    "The recording device reported the media error: Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.)"
    When using the IDVD application to burn my slideshow onto a DVD; Then I contacted Apple Care and I was told to use Disk Utility to burn my DVD in lieu of IDVD not working.
    I converted my slideshow into a .dmg format; all was verified successfully. Then I receive this error message when attempting to BURN DVD:
    "STOP The device drained its buffer without burn under run protection"
    I made a WONDERFUl slideshow-- of only 17 slides-- confirmed I have plenty of room on hard drive and et al on the "disk information". I have attempted since May 7th to get this DVD to burn my slideshow. PLEASE HELP ME!!! I have deadlines-- now it is for Tuesday May 15th. Please alert me to an alternative until I can get my Emac working properly on what I can do to make copies of my slideshow ASAP. Thank you.
    Now I looked thru your ERROR message archives and found NONE to match mine. What do these error messages mean-- is my Emac not working? This is first time ever I tried to use IDVD and IMovie and Disk Utility--- so the first impression is VERY VERY VERY bad for Apple's "easy to use for first time customers"....

    Well I had to make the copies for my presentation-- so the cheapest I could find in my area was Walgreens-- 39.99 for ONE COPY of a DVD! So I paid $70.00 and the clerk made 4 copies for me;-) So thanks Walgreens!
    Now-- my Mac-- I could not find anything on shelves at Walgreens or Office Depot but the FujiFilm I already have... So I now have time to look elsewhere.
    I did PRAM my Emac 3 times-- I tried these things also:
    1)Saved the IDVD- .dmg format to QuickTime .mov
    I uploaded to google video.com or whatever-- they use their own software-- .gvp file and player. All was successful (even now on YouTube-
    2) I then made another version in PowerPoint and saved it as an MPEG
    Also for below-- I lowered the burn rate upon the 2nd try to 1x-- took one hour or more (I went to get a root canal... then exfoliate... then I came back;-)
    Also tried different .mov from the web-- a great whale shark video that was only 49mb. My presentation is 120 mb. So I was just thinking-- make it smaller; burn slower.
    3)I did try to burn from IDVD, Disk Utility and then the drag and burn/click method on the desktop-- put a blank DVD in-- drag the .mov icon to the blank DVD -- write a title for the blank DVD- formats it / Drag to trash-- Burn icon comes up/ Clicked it-- waited 20 minutes and received:
    "Error: Error occurred while burning the disc. This disc can not be used."
    So I put in another blank Fuji DVD-- just in case. Same error message-- so I am hoping it is the DVD itself and not the SuperDrive.
    4)Also-- I tried to do audio CD burn-- just to make sure about the drive-- all was successful and I did a back up of my Itunes files-- 6 CDs they burned (they meaning "the Gods of Mac OS" ;-0 My audio CDs are Office Depot CD-R 52X700mb/ So the generic is better for CDs on my Emac that I know;-)
    So I will use my weekend to try other DVDs-- and I have the safety net of Apple Care-- but then just realized-- my Extended Care plan is OVER at May 30, 2007!!! I called to ask to EXTEND it further-- I'll pay whatever-- NOPE-- 3 years was max on this contract. So any repairs I have to pay for after May 30th-- ISN'T THAT JUST THE WAY THE WORLD GOES? The DAY after your warranty on AnYTHING-- the thing goes kablooey?
    But I still have days left--- and I know of a good Mac Repair person in area-- but it is just so darn difficult to move my desktop Emac (I got the GLASS monitor to save $300 or something) Weight Lifting is what it is-- weighs about 45lbs or more.
    But it seems it may be the media I am using if the CD burner is working, right?
    I can update-- if you want me to email direct-- just give me a note (my email is listed). Thanks all!!! I just want to impress everyone of how tenacious I am to find that my Emac is FINE-- it is just ME that is warped;-)

  • Can I burn mini DVDs on a macbook pro

    i have to do a project for my biology class and it is due on friday.  my school uses windows and i have a mac. the only way to take my project is on a DVD and since i live in the middle of nowhere i cant just go to the store and get some normal size DVDs, the only thing i could find around the house was some old mini DVDs they are about half the size of the normal ones.  i have to burn a movie made with imovie, can these work with it, im afraid it will get stuck inside and then i wont be able to use my laptop either.  and i will be play on a normal teacher's windows laptop. PLEASE PEOPLE, HELP ME!!!!!!! I NEED TO GET THIS DONE OR I WILL FAIL THE CLASS!!!

    Nope - cant use the mini-DVDs - isn't there a 24-hour Walmart somewhat nearby? They would have them...
