Can't burn multiple projects to DVD

I imported photos into iPhoto, then separated the photos into three different albums, each with a different name. I then worked on each individual album of photos in iDVD, creating slideshows, giving each slideshow a different Theme and audio (songs) from iTunes. Everything is working fine so far.
I then burned the first slideshow onto a DVD. When I attempted to burn the second slideshow onto the same DVD, it would not work.
I then saved each slideshow as a disk image and attempted to burn them with the disk utility. Again, I can burn the first slideshow but not the second and third to the same DVD.
I then attempted to drag the three .img files onto the icon of the DVD and it seemed to be working, however, I eventually got an error message. At this point I opened the .img files and dragged the Audio_TS and Video_TS files (from all three projects) onto the DVD icon. It appeared to burn to the DVD, but when I placed the DVD into my DVD player, only the first project burned.
I am gathering from other posts on this site that it is possible to burn multiple slideshows with audio onto a DVD but I certainly haven't figured out how to do it.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and how I can burn multiple slideshows with audio, originating from iDVD, onto one DVD. Any help would be most appreciated.

Excellent progress -- you wondered about multiple themes, and although I haven't done that recently, you are be able to create a submenu with the Folder icon; once you're on the submenu, just set a new theme and it should just change the menu you're working on.
from iPhoto via QuickTime to iDVD, this process does not allow adding captions to the photos in iDVd...is my assumption correct.
-- Correct, you'll have to add captions in iPhoto (has a basic titling feature), in Quicktime Pro, or use the extensive text features in software like Photoshop/Elements (add it to a copy of the photo and then reimport to iPhoto). It's a bit of work, but you can create a nice effect of the title fading out with this latter option (if you want your slide to have a five sec duration, use the titled photo for 3 sec then the original slide for 2 seconds -- then use the cross-dissolve transition).
Deleting iPhoto pictures will not affect the QT movie if you've made it self-contained (typical setting), and iDVD will be unaffected as well.
I'm not aware of any restriction on iPhoto transitions that would require a new video card -- the rendering will take longer on slower processors -- what are your symptoms (perhaps post it separately for others to weigh in?)?.

Can't burn imovie project to DVD

I am using my sony video camcorder to import to imovie. That was a success and I was able to export the video to iDVD, but it will not let me burn to a DVD. It says that the file is too large to record on a single layer disc and i need to insert a double layer disc. How is it not able to burn when a DVD can record 120 minutes, and mine is 1 hour and 55 minutes? I tried to save as disk image so I could burn it on toast, but it wont let me do that either.

First off, in the preference setting, you have to change from the default setting of Best Performance (60 minutes max) to Best Quality (120 minutes max) to allow the full two hour time span for an iDVD project.
Second, that 120 minutes includes everything, iDVD menus, music, motion, slideshows, etc. not just the movie itself. So with a movie that is 115 minutes long, you only have 5 minutes for menu and iDVD slide shows and stuff like that. Drop in a few menus each with a 2-minute song and you easily blow past the 120 minute mark.

Can I burn AVCHD project to DVD disc?

I've read that AVCHD uses the DVD format. Does this mean that the nice HD camcorder recordings I have will, after being processed by PE, show nicely on a wide screen television? Does this question even make sense.

AVCHD is High Definition, a DVD is Standard Definition
For true AVCHD quality on a disc, you need BluRay (which Premiere Elements will do, if you have a BluRay burner)
There IS a way to put "about" 20 minutes of HiDef on a BluRay, but it will NOT play in a DVD player, the disc will only play in a BluRay player

Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users?

Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users?

You can burn a plain CD/DVD by just dragging the photos there; but, that may or may not be playable by everyone. To be sure that the result would be playable in any computer or CD/DVD player, it would be better to use either one of the apps already on your system - such as iPhoto. I don't use that myself - I use other third party software - but take a look at iPhoto help. And, you could make it more interesting by creating a slideshow - also in iPhoto, or iMovie. To give it the final cool touch, bring it into iDVD to give it a polished look if you'd like. You can burn it then from any of the above.
If you happen to have Toast (an excellent burning app), you could use that as well (that is my preferred way to work). In Toast, you have multiple choices: burn a data CD/DVD for Mac only, for Mac & PC, etc, burn a picture CD, video DVD, etc, etc.

DVD Studio Pro 4 "Formatting Failed, One of the volumes on the disc is still in use." How do I fix this to burn a project to DVD?

Trying to burn a project to DVD but get this error message: "Formatting Failed, One of the volumes on the disc is still in use."

Thank you for the help!

what does this mean?
You have a disc inside your optical drive.
Not sure what they mean by volume still in use, this apparentely is keeping me from burning info such a pictures and or video's,
how can I fix this?
Remove the extra disc.
My answers are basic because:
You never told us which model iMac you have?
How you are burning? Through iMac? External burner?
Which OS you are currently using?

How can I burn a CD or DVD for regular data files using anything other than itunes?

If you need simple burning, do as Robert said. However, if you need more advanced options, take a look at Roxio Toast 10 Titanium. There is also a Pro HD version if you need more video burning options.

Can't burn Verbatim Archival grade DVDs

Hi there! I own a Powermac G5 Dual 2.0 Ghz with Tiger updated and a Pioneer dvd recorder Mod. DVR-110D Firmware ver. 1.37. I can't burn Verbatim Archival grade DVD-R because I always get the following error code: 0x8002006E. It happens with Finder burn and Toast 8 too! Is a solution there to fix this problem? Thanks for your help
Greetings Fabry
Powermac G5 2Ghz Dual Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hi Fabrizio!
I am particularly interested in your problem because I was about to buy some of those very disks!
In fact, I started this thread some time ago:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4140243&#4140243
I have been googling the error code, and from a variety of Mac related forums it appears that, as Templeton suggests, it is an incompatibility between the burner and the media.
Some have had the problem with Matshita, some with Pioneer superdrives. Some have had success with exchanging one superdrive for another, some with using different media.
What is strange is that Verbatim DVD-R of the 'regular' kind are the preferred brand here. I have read that F Shippey, who I hope will chip in here if he sees this thread, has tried the Verbatim Archival grade DVDs.
We need a bigger user sample!
Have you tried burning them at only 2x or 4x in Toast?
Do you have any problems burning 'normal' Verbatim DVDs?

If I download a video from my video camera to a new (current 1/12) iMac 21 inch, how can I burn it to a DVD using the computer itself. Is this possible? Do I need to buy additional software. Two salespeople at the Apple were a little confused about this.

The DVD recorder I'm referring to is one I've use for years. It is not attached to my aging iMac in any way. I simply play the video from my camcorder (mini-dv tape based Canon HV20) into the DVD recorder and create a DVD that can be played in any DVD player. I can only do minimum editing so what goes in is what I get. This has been fine for creating dupes of the various things I shoot.
If I buy a new iMac (21 inch), I'd like to be able to download the video to the iMac through iMovie, work with it to whatever degree I wish, and burn it to a DVD that can also be played in any DVD player -- or to use as a master to dupe copies.
What I'm understanding from you and others is that this would be possible if Apple had included iDVD in the software that comes with the iMac, or if I purchase the iLife Family Pack, or buy the correct version of Toast. I'm hoping I can persuade Apple to sell me an iMac with iDVD installed.
Essentially I want to move from a basic process of creating DVD copies to the more sophisticated process of creating one from an iMac.
Thank you again for your help and wisdom.

You need to use iDVD.
You can buy here.

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.

Can I burn multiple FCPX projects to one DVD?

I see how to export each timeline to DVD, but is there a way to burn several projects on the same timeline through Final Cut Pro X?
Thanks!

You can use compound clips to assemble your projects in a single project. Note, however, that there are no options for chapter markers in FCP X (there are in Compressor). So you might want to assemble, then export, then author in iDVD or Toast.

I can't burn a project from iMovie to a dvd why?

my mac didn't have idvd untill i instaled it but when i try to burn a project from imovie, the dvd doesn't work on any other computer what can i do?

What are you using to burn the movie to DVD? If you are using Finder, it will not work on other DVD players (not sure about other computers). In order to work anywhere, you need a dedicated video burn/authoring application such as iDVD, Roxio Toast, Burn, or many others you find by googling.
Oops - I missed the fact that you said you installed iDVD? So did you use that or Finder?

How can I save previews for old projects, while burning the project to DVD?

I'll admit, I haven't read the user manual cover to cover (or screen to screen for the electronic version), and haven't spent hours combing the discussions here, but I have searched for all the relevant keywords I can think of and can't find a concise answer to this question.
I get the basic idea of Vaults (I think), but haven't found much info about long term storage of projects. I'm fulltime freelance, but not super busy, and I can easily generate 100,000 images each year. I don't have the cash to be keeping all of these images in Aperture projects on external hard drives for eternity, and I'd be surprised if anyone else does. Good thing I'm not a medium format digital shooter producing 50GB each day huh?
I remember seeing a clip of a photographer 2 or 3 years ago discussing the differences between storing digital and film images. He was making the point that throwing away files you don't think you'll need again can be a mistake, citing a shot he had of Clinton and Lewinsky together, before Clinton and Lewinsky were news. "If I'd been shooting digital, that image wouldn't exist today". It was a great pic, and when that whoel scandal erupted, it made him alot of money.
So at present I'm storing every image I take in finished projects on DVD trusting that in the future I'll be looking for a shot of someone I may have shot 5, 10, 15 years ago.
I caught part of a discussion that talked about keeping the preview files for all the images (and subsequent versions) for each project. I'd love to be able to keep lo-res previews/copies of everything I've shot to date, and have them immediately accessible on my hard drive, while my full size projects are safely stored on DVD, taking up space on a bookshelf rather than on my hard drive. Loading 10 DVD's worth of projects to see what's inside them is a headache I'd like to avoid if possible, in favour of instantly checking out lo-res previews to look a shot up.
Is there an easy way to burn a completed project to DVD, but keep only the (lo res, lo size) previews on my hard drive?

yes.
maybe,...
1. you might think of making DVD backups first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
or,
2. bring in the photographs to hard drive first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
the low rez Previews will stay in Aperture but the high quality Versions will be exported onto DVDs and gone from the hard drive (if you delete the originals).
another way would be to export small about 50-70 pixel wide high quality jpegs to a folder on your Desktop and import & keep these in Aperture Library as a reference. make metadata to show where the original Project DVDs are stored and DVD filing system used.
