Can't get iDVD to burn disc/image

Heya, I've got my entire dvd working in iDVD, with the menus, movies, and everything totaling 2.9GB out of 4.2GB possible. Menus are 8:13 out of a possible 15:00, so I know the data sizes are fine.
Whenever I try to burn my disc, it gets to the "Rendering menu video asset" section, and nothing happens. The program just goes to the spinning beach ball and then stops responding.
I searched the forums a bit and found out to try saving the project as a disc image, and then burn it with disc utility, but even on that, it still freezes when trying to render the menus.
This is the third disc I have authored, and the other two worked just fine, and very quickly. Any ideas on why this isn't working.
P.S. I have not edited any of the videos directly, such as there are no transitions or chapter markers in any of the videos.

Have you used any MP3s in iDVD? AAC and AIFF are OK.

  • How can i get idvd on my brand new macbook pro

    Hi I got a brand new late 2011 macbook pro for christmas and im a student that needs to burn dvds easily please how can i get idvd on my mac with out buying ilife 11' Thanks,  techkid123

    you can burn dvd's using disc utility in your utilities folder, or if you want iDVD, you will need to purchase the iLife '11 boxed set.

  • Burning disc image with encryption

    I've been burning disc images thru idvd's interface for a while. I just noticed in disk utility the option of encrypting the dvd (AES-128), to prevent access to contents, files, etc., which might be useful when making customer copies.
    Is this something anyone is using?

    Are you referring to data dvd's?
    To the best of my knowledge, Data Dvd's may work well on your mac but they do NOT play back on most set top dvd players.
    It is possible to encrypt data to a dvd BUT it is Not possible to encrypt an entire iDvd (at least not in terms of preventing duplication /playback on a standard Dvd Player/recorder) in the same manner as a commercially pressed DVD function which are copy protected (CSS) when mass replicated.
    They are two entirely separate forms of encryption.

  • I created an imovie that runs 2hrs 14min but can't get it to burn on a DVD

    I creatded an imovie that runs 2hrs 14min but can't get it to burn onto a DVD. 
    Any recommendations?

    Hi
    iDVD - don't care about GBs - ONLY - Time = Movie + Menus - as follows
    iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
    • Best Performances
    (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
    About double on DL DVDs.
    If You NEED to put in more than 120 minutes onto a SL DVD - Then I would use Roxio Toast™ as this can squees in between 7 to 10 hours onto this - BUT AT A BARELY USABLY QUALITY.
    VHS tapes recorded in EP- mode will look brilliant in comparision
    Just as info:
    SP = 240 minutes on a standard VHS tape
    LP = 480 minutes
    EP = 720 or more ?

    Since Apple has stopped supporting and offering iDVD you'll need to purchase the iLIfe 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 11 which will include iDVD 7.

  • IMovie wii no longer share with iDVD.  I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and now I can't get iDVD to work properly.  Any thoughts?

    iMovie wii no longer share with iDVD.  I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and now I can't get iDVD to work properly.  Any thoughts?  This is what comes up.....

    iDVD does work with Yosemite although, as Kappy pointed out unsupported for 2 years, so try this basic troubleshooting fix:
    1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
    User/Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents of IDVD'S cache folder: User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD.
    3 - launch IDVD and try again.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If you're running Mavericks or Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    If iDVD crashes again post the first 50 lines of the crash report.  Don't post a screenshot but copy and paste the actual text.
    To get a movie from iMovie to iDVD it should be exported out of iMovie as 480p and added manually to iDVD.

    Welcome to the forum.
    In the DVD/BD tab, just set to Autoplay, and all Menus will be removed.

  • Multiplexer error--can't burn disc image from iDVD

    Originally FCP. to QT. To iMovie. Added chapters--left auto-generated numerals. Imported to iDVD thru Media Browser..
    Film is 53 minutes plus menu (includes 3 minute silent footage in single drop box).
    console reports the error as : "7/12/10 9:22:56 AM [0x0-0x418418].com.apple.iDVD[49872] terminate called after throwing an instance of 'M2V::Exception'"
    What is an M2V::Exception?
    Is the only work-around to drop out the chapters? And will that work. I have done Disk Repair and Restart.

    I redid the movie without chapters. It wrote the disc image.
    Now it is not writing to re-writable DVD. Here is what console said:

  • Can't do a save as disc image

    I have iMovie '09 (8.0.6) iDVD 7.1.2 and am having a problem saving a large file (3.9gb) as a disc image. This file was made in iMovie with chapters and I "Shared to Media Browser" (I am using the .m4v file).I did a short (2 min.) test file in iDVD to make sure I could get the chapters to work and save a disc image before doing the large project. The short test project successfully saved a disc image and I was able to see it with the DVD player. When I try to save as a disc image the time remaining is 37 min (I have a main menu and 2 sub menus) and the process quits after "rendering menu video asset". It is like there is no movie file inserted. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, or not doing right. Thanks for any help you can provide.

    The file is .m4v and 71 min long.
    • .m4v is also a container - Please open it with QuickTime Player and open Inspector and read in what codec it is.
    • 71 min long - iDVD doesn't care about Gbs at all only time and this is Movie time AND MENU Time (as this can take 15 minutes and even more from the project) AND the various Encoding Qualities has different acceptance in time as:
    iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
    • Best Performances
    (movies + menus  less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
    About double on DL DVDs.
    The menu (theme?) is called scrapbook and there is audio and no photos.
    • I use an as simple Menu possibly and no animation or Audio on this e.g. Brushed Metal from old themes
    Also there is over 600 GB free.
    • Great - my minimum is 25Gb free space - AND it is ONLY the Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk that counts as neither Mac OS or iDVD can address any other for their temp. files.
    I sat and watched it save to disc image again, and it did work;
    • If You got a DiskImage that works OK then You can use Disk Util tool to burn it onto a DVD
    I captured the movie from a VHS tape; I'm converting old home movies. By the end of the tape the audio is not in sync with the video.
    • here You do as in so many Q: - anticipate that I/We are Magic in a way or two. You have to describe from VHS/VCR - step by step how Your material ended up in What Video-editor ?
    Use of A/D-box - brand and type
    Use of DVD-Recorder - brand and type AND IN WHAT Codec material is burned to DVD
    Use of iMovie HD6 (very very good for VHS to DVD - near to ZERO loss in quality)
    Use of iMovie08 to 11 - Not the choice of me as You lose every second line in the picture and it can not deliver full interlaced video over to iDVD any way known to me.
    Use of FinalCut - and project set up as HOW ?
    AND - way from this to iDVD - I NEVER use "Share to iDVD" as result will Suffer.
    As You see - there are lot's of info needed to be able to be of help.
    I use a A/D-Box (Canopus/Grass Valley ADVC-300) as this has two Major functions not found on cheaper solutions
    • Repairs broken TimeCode
    a. No Baby-sitting during Capture
    b. Audio keep in Full Sync.
    • Program added that enhance picture quality during Import/Capture.
    I'm not sure how to fix that other than to capture in smaller segments and link them together in iMovie. I have already captured all the segments and am now in the process of creating the movie file to use in iDVD.
    • Might work but way to tedious for me.

  • IMovie to iDvd - No audio- disc image did not work-reopen iDvd files empty

    I am making a 45 minute movie of a day at Disneyland. (My daughter wants it all so the editing is minimal)
    I have tried to burn 3 times. each time takes about 12 hours.
    first attempt had an error, i know not when, nothing burned to disc.
    second attempt burned to disc, the 6.0 theme looked great, MP3 music played, worked on TV set
    NO audio on the movie. trash the disc.
    Third attempt burn to disc image. end up with two folders AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. the audio folder is empty. no image
    All the audio in the movie is off the video tracks except for ONE sound effect.
    Is that causing the problem? Is the update causing the problem?
    When I reopen any iDvdproj the themes are all blank even if the project file size is 5.8 GB. that does not seem right.
    I have another smaller project with the same problem, the iDvd files are blank when I reopen them.
    Right now I am trying to compress the movie into a QuickTime file but all the options were confusing since I am not an expert. in another 6 hours I will have results I have no idea how big the file will be, but the image willl remain the existing size ?? I am afraid it will be too small.
    How come it seems so easy to make a dvd to watch on you own TV yet so IMPOSSIBLE?
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   iLife 06 updated

    Hello Wade,
    the problem seems to be the audio. Give us a little more info on what audio you used in the iMovie project (original audio, music, MP3, Aiff...).
    Also: what audio setting does your camcorder have? Should be 16-bit, 12-bit is a big no-no with iDVD, see this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=494268&tstart=0&start=45
    12 hours seem a long time to encode 45 min of video ... your mac should be able to do that in 4-5 hours max. I would suggest you convert all MP3 audio to AIFF before importing to iM.
    If your original audio is 12-bit you can try to export the whole audio (original & music) via QT using the audio only option with 24-bit Integer, then re-import into iM.
    Get the latest QT update, if you haven't done so already.
    Also do some basic iDVD troubleshooting:
    1. free some space on the startup drive (15-20GB recommended)
    2. Trash preferences (com.apple.iDVD.plist) and empty trash
    3. Repair Disk Permissions using Disk Utility
    4. Clear Cache Files (Tools: CacheOutX, Onyx)
    Have a look at what John Beatty says in this thread about iDVD trouble shooting:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=508221&tstart=0
    Third attempt burn to disc image. end up with two folders AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. the audio folder is empty. no image
    the AUDIO_TS folder being empty is perfectly normal for Video DVDs, only music DVDs have audio in that folder
    hope this helps

  • Error when burning disc image

    An error occurred when I tried to burn a disc image of a DVD slideshow. The slideshow has 324 slides in it and is almost 38 minutes long at the moment. I have added sound by creating a sound track in iMovie using a combination of songs downloaded from iTunes and tracks from my own CDs then blending the two blending the two. The slideshow plays on the computer and I have burned a disc image two or three times as I was creating it.
    Any advice?

    I have burned a disc image two or three times as I was creating it.
    Can you clarify what you did exactly? You mean you saved the project as a disk image, then went back and did further work on the project?
    The audio tracks you imported from iTunes may have been copy protected and will not burn in iDVD. The workaround is to burn those tracks to an audio CD in iTunes, then re-import into iTunes from that CD. Then will transfer to iMovie and iDVD without problems.
    Also, something here may help:

  • Video freezes when burning disc image

    Hi. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem when making a disc image? I created movie in imovie and saved it as a dv (which I do all the time). After creating an idvd menu, etc., I save it as a disc image. But when I test the movie in dvd player, it works for a while (in this case about 8 min) and then the video freezes. I can still hear it though.
    I did a few others a couple months ago and they were fine. This movie is 1 1/2 hours and another was 1/2 hr. and both froze about the same times.
    I don't know if it's a system error that may just need idvd to be re-installed or something else.
    If anyone has a solution to this, please let me know. I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your comment but the problem exists even BEFORE I burn it. I do the test from mounting the disc image and it's there. I think it's happening when idvd is encoding the movie for the disc image, but I don't know why.
