Can't export or Burn completed movie

I have created my movie and now want to burn it to DVD.
It is listed in my iMovie Library and I can play it there.
The Movie is 1h 3m 15s long and 5.82GB
Using iDVD to create the DVD project I can see the source files in the Media Folder "Movies" but not the completed movie
I decided to save the movie to file and tried using the Share "File" option.  Th process appears to start and looks like it is going to take about 5 hours to complete but fails after about 30 minutes with a "compression" error code.
I have tried iSkysoft but need to drag the media into the work area and cannot locate the movie file anywhere.
HELP!!!
Thanks,
John

Hello Bill
The Adobe KB Article (http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/error-compiling-movie-rendering -or.html ) does not answer the question asked, because the end of the error message is "Unknown error" which is not listed in this article.
I often encouter this error which is a RANDOM error which occurs only with pictures (4256x2832 .jpg or more when I use panoramic pictures with more than 50 MPx) but never with video (1920x1080 HD .m2ts) from my camcorder. The only way I found to do a complete render is :
- save and close the project without editing it,
- close Adobe Premiere Pro (CS6 or CC, same error),
- reopen Premiere Pro and reload the project,
- resume the render.
If I render WITHOUT Mercury Playback Engine : all is perfect, no error but the render needs very much more time.
My own conclusion : this render crash might be due to VRAM oveflooded during render with Mercury Playback Engine (this might be checked and monitored with the freeware GPU-Z).
My GPU is GTX 570 with 1280 MB VRAM and the render are only full HD (H.264 1920x1080i).
If you have a solution except remove the GPU and purchase a GTX 770 OC 4 GB VRAM, I am waiting for it.
My actual system :
- CPU Intel core i7 970 (6 cores, overeclocked to 3,9 GHz),
- MoBo : Intel DX58SO2,
- RAM : 24 GB,
- GPU GTX570 with VRAM 1280MB (Nvidia driver allways up-to-date),
- HDD : RAID 10 with four WD 1002FAEX (7200 tpm, 64 MB cache),
- OS W7 64 SP1, 64 bits (allways updated)
Regards
Jacques

  • Can not export to a quicktime movie

    So, I've spent the past two weeks putting this wedding video together on final cut express HD 3.5.1 and I'm all set to burn it to a DVD. I figured the easiest way to do this would be through iDVD. iDVD recommends that, while in FCE, I choose the "Export to quicktime movie" command to create a quicktime file that I can then drag and drop to iDVD. Sounds easy enough, but I simply can not export my project to QT in FCE. Every time I attempt to do so, one of two things happens: 1) after about a second of "writing audio and video" it quits w. the following error message: "file error: unknown file" or 2) the entire project is "written," but the created QT file will not open up and does not give a helpful explanation as to why.
    By no means am I married to iDVD or QT if anybody has any other suggestions as to how I can feasibly get my FCE project somehow burned onto a DVD. But if anybody has any suggestions w/ or w/o exporting to QT, please please please help me as soon as you can. This is my sister's wedding video and she and her husband will be moving to colorado next week! I really need to get this to her before then.
    My scratch disk is an external HD - USB-HDD (FAT32) Processor: 2 GHz Intel Core Duo, Memory: 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

    I have to plead ignorance regarding the firewire "drive" that you're referring to. My USB-HD is connected with a firewire cable. I'm not familiar with the distinction between this type of connection and a "firewire drive."
    You might be interested to know I was able to successfully export a ten-minute DVD clip (with multiple tracks and rendered video) excerpted from my final cut project and subsequently burn it to a DVD. It didn't look like it had exported successfully, because it was still a .fcp file. I simply changed it to a .mov and changed the default opener from FCE to Quicktime and "voila" I had a quicktime movie. Too bad I can't get the same thing to work for the two-hour project.
    Nonetheless, the fact that I was able to get the clip on a DVD gives me confidence that somehow, some way I can convert my whole project to a quicktime file. It's my hope that someone will read this forum and burst forth with a fresh, imaginative approach keeping in mind I'm not about to run out and spend two hundred bucks on a third hard drive I don't need.
    Thanks for your suggestions. Please keep them coming if you have any other ideas.

  • Can Logic Export Audio into a Movie PORTION?

    I am a film composer. I'd like to export as a quicktime movie, my cue(song mix) with the appropriate portion of the movie that it is synced up to. Preferably at a user defined resolution and compression setting (ie: so I can create little preview quicktime movies to show my directors over the net).
    Can this be done?
    And if not, what application would be best to insert an audio file as a soundtrack into a Quicktime movie and get frame accurate results? Does PRO TOOLS do that?
    Thanks in advance,
    Evan EVans

    sorry mate, can't be done. what you can do is;
    1. with quicktimepro, extract the section that you want to do it with. you don't have to save the all the information, you can save it as a file referenced to the orginal film. when you do that, the file will only be about 165k as opposed to Gbs. so it's quick. you can then open that in logic and put your music onto the film and sync. (BTW depending on the codec you are using, you can still use movieplayer that came with authoring goodies back from OS 8 days, and that works in classic, though it doesn't play back very well, you can make the referenced file that works just fine in os x)
    2. import it into imovie and edit out the bit you need, but at that rate you might as well bring the cue into imovie as well. the advnatage there is that you can export the great new codecs with first class quailty and tiny file sizes.
    finally, to my knowledge protools does not allow you to extract and bounce a portion of a quicktime movie. it is a quicktime thing. you have to have quicktimepro.

  • I use Magic iDVD to burn complete movies and have started having a problem multiplexing and burning. I need to know what I can do about it so I can burn my movies.

    I have been burning movies with iDVD for several years and once in a while it has trouble multiplexing. Usually I can fix it by doing a combination fix of turning off my laptop and unplugging for 20 minutes. Then when I'm ready to turn it back on, I plug it in, wait five seconds then turn it on. I then clean the disc drive with a dry brush cleaner disc. That has usually done the trick. Not any more. I'm stuck and don't know what else I can try. I have plenty of space on my hard drive, about 70 GB, which has always been sufficient for burning discs. If there is anyone out there whoi can help me, I'd sure appreciate it.

    This post by Bengt Wärleby discusses many potential multiplexing issues: Multiplexing Error: Apple Support Communities
    Also 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.

  • How can I export/share a project/movie with iMovie 10(.0.1)?

    Hi,
    I generate a movie with images from iPhoto and underlaid a sound file. In iMovie the film looks great and now I want to share/export it. But the share button doesn't work: I click on it and nothing happens – no submenu, no window, nothing. It seems there is missing a function behind the menu item.
    I closed iMovie, restart it – nothing.
    I shut down the Mac and reboot it – nothing.
    I deleted the preferences after closing the app and restart it – nothing happens.
    What can I do?
    This happens with image movies AND with clip movies generated with iMovie.
    Thanks for a hint.
    CK

    Thanks Chris,
    I will uninstall the imovie app using the mackeeper uninstaller, but wanted to ask if I trash /delete all the files
    when I do this? When it scans my computer it says I have two versions of imovie and other files as well.
      Just wanted to check if I will still have my trailer left in my user file on the computer.
    Sorry to bug you, but I spent alot of time doing it and dont want to lose the work . So want to be sure I am doing it the right way!
    Cheers Graham

  • Can you export slideshows other than .mov format?

    I created a slideshow and would like to play it on my PS3, on the higest resolution possible. PS3 does not recognize quicktime movies, so I am trying to save it as an MP4. The option seems to be there when I save the file, even in custom export. There is a field that says "export movie to/as MP4". When the export is done, the file is still a quicktime movie! Anyhelp is greatly appreciated.

    In the export drop down there is a Custom option and you can explore the many, many options under that heading.
    There is no right answer that anyone can give you from here as there are far too many variables: The quality of the original photos, the quality of the playback engine on your PS3, the screen you are displaying on etc etc.

  • How can I export a surround sound movie file using compressor?

    I want to create movie files using Motion and Soundtrack Pro that have surround sound. I can make ac3 surround sound files in SOundtrack Pro, I can add them to projects in Final Cut Pro, but I can't see any way to use Compressor to output the movie files with surround sound. The encoding results in plain stereo files. Please help.

    HI Tony, you should be able to do this simply within the Compressor.app V4.1.x using the "surround Sound Group" and the shipped setting DOLBY DIGITAL setting. Instead of just adding a file, you need to:
    Add a "Surround Sound Group" (control++i or file/add surround sound group or use the "+" plus sign at bottom left corner of Current/BATCH window". You'll get  a pane with the channels you need to manipulate.
    Click on the tracks Icons L to Rs and  select the surround tracks as prompted and navigate through the finder interface. .. simple. WAV, BWF etc
    Optionally Add the video object from here too.
    Select the BATCH job (top layer with the ORBIT looking icon)) and use the INSPECTOR (right pane) to see what audio objects have been selected and verify location etc.. follow the dialogue (follow your nose)
    Then Select the SETTING layer and use the default DOLBY DIGITAL setting and form the "settings/Create Blu Ray/Dolby Digital" and drag it over the batch job setting
    Select this and adjust the LOCATION for the target distribution
    Select the INSPECTOR AUDIO pane (right pane) and adjust any settings and EFFECTS to your taste.
    select the cluster (if one is defined)
    +B (submit) the job for the distribution or another master.
    This will work fine.. pretty easy..  You'll need to work the audio settings as you like. If you get stuck, use the compressor.app V4.1 help.. its actually good.
    Post your results for others to see.

  • IiMovie 5 won't burn Project files, only completed movie.

    Using iMovie 5.0.2 (111)
    CD/DVD drive will burn DVD movie from iDVD , no probs, but of course this is the finished movie which cannot be re-edited.
    Will not copy to DVD the project as files that can be re-edited in future. So DVD burner ( HI-dt-st-DVDRAM GSA-H44N) works fine apart from this.
    Selecting 'Burn project to Disc' from iMovie menu is followed by 'Saving Project File' and then 'No Disc Burning Drive Found. If you have an Apple-supported disc burner, please check your connections and try again' but iMovie knows it's there because it will burn completed movie via iDVD! Confused!
    Any help to save files as project greatly appreciated, thanks.

    Do you not get this dialogue box?
    This feature creates a duplicate of your project onto a CD or DVD ROM. It does not create a video DVD for playing in a DVD player. Do you want to continue?
    It would have to be very short iMovie project (which run at 15GB per hour) to fit on a CD or even a DVD.
    Better to store the project on an external hard disk, which of course must be connected by firewire.

  • Why can't I export a Medium/Large movie?

    Hi,
    Newbie here - be kind. I'm just joining clips to upload to youtube. I don't need to splice anything. I am having the following issues:
    1. When you put your clips in iMovie, is there a way to display the accompanying file name? Or since I don't need to splice anything, can I just display the clips in a text list format? It would make things a lot easier in terms of makin sure I'm putting the clips in the correct chronological order.
    2. When I try exporting the movie, the option for "Medium" and "Large" is greyed out. All I can export is mini, which is terrible resolution. My source clips are from a Sony HDD camcorder and are 720x480. Any idea why I can't export a higher resolution movie?
    Thanks. I really appreciate any help out there.

    I am having the same problem!! I have imported files that were .mov (though they were converted from VHS tapes I imported). I am thinking it is because the quality of the VHS was not good enough to export into a medium to large format. (Although when I plug the VCR into the TV the picture is clear) I don't know why it can go in as an mp4 or mov and can't also export as such. I really haven't done much to them except add some transitions and a couple of songs. I am afraid once I put them into iDVD, the picture will be very pixellated, even though it was clear with the original VHS.

  • Suddenly can't export anything...."Codec Error"

    I'm using FCE HD 3.5.1 on a Mac Pro and have been using the program successfully for months until just recently.
    It has now come to the point where I can't export my four minute movie at all. I simply get a message that reads "Codec error".

    One quick update - I tried uninstalling using AppZapper and then reinstalled STP 3.0 again - and it seems like I can now export to MP3, but not WAVE or AIFF.
    Also, the mic input being garbled seems to have been fixed as well.
    Am I missing something? All I'm trying to do is:
    1. Create a Multi-track project
    2. Record about 10 seconds of audio to one (stereo) track.
    3. Do a multi-take on that track
    4. Pick the pieces I want in the final composition
    5. Render out the main composition to wav
    I've been able to do steps 1-4 just fine - but for whatever reason I can't get ste 5 working at all!

  • When using imovie and converting to idvd the cd ejects before the burn is complete.  how can I burn the movie for viewing?

    when in idvd the disc ejects before multiplexing and burning are completed therefore the disc has issues when viewing.  there are damaged areas.  Is there a work around to burn the movie?

    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

  • Can you burn multible movies on one bluray dvd disc with final cut pro

    how to burn two completed quick time movies to blu ray dvd with final cut pro? Ive tried but wont play

    Mark,
    Welcome to the wild and wacky world of DVD's and Mpeg2!
    Here are a few things that might help.
    it seems to want everything as a QT. This presents size limitations.
    Not really, iDVD simply takes the QT files that you feed it and uses its own compressor to encode them to mpeg2 files. As long as your source material is not over 2 hours iDVD can handle it.
    I'm planning to export from fcp using Compressor in the hope of fitting everything onto one disc
    You can do this, but you might find it simpler to simply export a QT reference movie from FCP and drag that into DVDSP. DVDSP will then use compressor to create the mpeg2 files that you need. I say this because some find compressor a little intimidating at first. (I know that I still do.)
    Now, go find the manuals that came with your software and start reading, DVDSP is a powerful program and the manuals are the best place to start.
    Good luck!

    A few months ago, I purchased a new iMac. I recently created a movie using iMovie. Then I found out that iDVD is not included. So I have the problem that I want to burn a movie that I can play on my DVD player and watch on a television. I rang Applecare and was told that I need a program called BURN.
    Is this correct? I can export the movie from iMovie in a m4v format, but I think I need to convert this to iso format before I can burn the disc.
    I know there are programs like TOAST that will do this, but it is expensive.
    I would be very grateful for any assistance.

    Burn will not do what you want, and there is no real substutute for iDVD.
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
    Apple insists that the entire world has access to fast broadband (and are prepared to pay for the considerable bandwidth usage) and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud, YouTube, Facebook, whatever) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. Stating that they would return their brand new Mac unless they received a copy of iDVD worked for some, but that is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple.
    Also, you can complain bitterly via Apple’s Feedback link, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between burning DVDs and distributing home movies by other means. You may feel that Apple should not dictate how you destribute family videos or photos to distant relatives and friends, and should not assume that every user is prepared to pay for the excessive bandwidth usage charged by ISPs for huge downloads from the App Store:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that came with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or that comes with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.
    And if you think Microsoft are any better, their new Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced:  http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/
    In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that. Flexibility and intuitive use of a computer seems to be a thing of the past.
