Cant burn my first DVD

New to Apple, using a new Powerbook G4 with IDVD5
made a 10 minute slideshow with music on Imovie and burned it to DVD using IDVD....tried to play it in DVD player and on the apple and I get the message
"supported disc not avaliable"
I burned it on a Fuji DVD-RW, seemed to work, chose the region (1) and this is all I get
thanks for any help
noobie.

OK, Im looking at the burned DVD and the files are
.BUP, .IFO, and .FOB
is this right?
Yes. The VIDEO_TS folder should contain those files. The AUDIO_TS folder will be empty.
You should be able to open Apple's DVD Player application in your Applications folder and play that VIDEO_TS folder. Give it a try.
If it works, (and was a disk image .img file) you can burn the disk image file to a DVD with Disk Utility. (There are several versions around, but this should work for you.) http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh1884.html Burning a disk image on a CD or DVD

BURNING MY FIRST DVD AND "CHAPTERS" AREN'T WANTED ..BUT THEY KEEP APPEARING

My production is ready for the final step ..."burning". I'm using the Revolution Theme. I put the title in the REVOLUTION window and started the burn process. After about 40 minutes the "burn" is completed.
I popped it in the DVD player. My Revoltion title isn't what I had put in. The title now states: "MY GREAT DVD" plus I now have 8 Chapters. My production is only 7 minutes long so I don't want any chapters.
How can I get the title I want to stay and how do I get rid of the chapters?

Those two facts go hand in hand. It really is best if one get a formal
education in video production before attempting to produce videos. Or
at the very least, some on-the-job training with a video professional. Otherwise, your job will continue to be more difficult than it needs to be.
If this is about the last sentence, I'm sorry, what I meant to say is "...i've got no more problems yet, so far", except for the ones I mentioned. About getting some formal education in video production, I don't know if it really will always be good to me to go on with what I have been doing in the long time, put myself in "trouble" and begin asking if circumstances get really worse. Sitting and listening to lengthy discussions is often a boring process for me. Because not until I get my hands dirty, I will never know what's the dirt and how and where to start cleaning. In this case, I'll be your most boring student, yawning, farting, not interacting and not knowing at all what to know.
Now, I am just confident of the knowledge I've accumulated since I begin using premiere and encore although I know I still have to dig deeper. With all those problems posted in its respective forum, I think I attained successfully what became a problem to others. I don't have technical problems except for my pv-gs85 not being recognized by Pr which I've worked around by using third party applications.
I finished my very first DVD video without too much problem. My next goal is to get my stuff to the discriminating eyes of the pros for comments, suggestions, advices, and cajoles. I just don't know yet how to do it. While I was accumulating knowledge, I was amassing dirt, too. At this point, I can assure the video production gurus I'll be among there most eager student.

Cant burn DL+R DVD media with 20" iSight iMac

Apple spec pages say this system's superdrive can do DL+R, System Profiler/Disk Burning/DVD Write sometimes says DL+R, but most of the time it just lists -R, -RW.
I'm trying to burn with Toast 7. Toast sees the DL media, and claims the drive will burn DL+R, but when I go to burn it just gets stuck on "Preparing" and never actually burns. Cant completely kill the application and must restart the iMac to eject the media.
Using Mitsubishi brand media.
Here's what System Profiler says today (though five minutes ago, it did say it supported DL+R)
MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-846:
Firmware Revision: FA0G

Any advice is appreciated.

I have the same problem. I have just bought DVD Creator from MP4Converter Software Studio. And it works great with DVD-R 4.7Gb disks. But when I try to burn DVD+R DL disks they eject after about 50 seconds and I get a prompt "Burn failed". I have tried saving the files as both DVD Folder and DVD Image but the result is the same for both. I bought DVD+R DL because that is what is specified in my System Profiler.
System Profiler detects the disk correctly:

Cant burn or play dvds that have burnt from ape 13

ok I have just purchased ape 13 for my laptop and I was using ape 11 on my PC and was completing a wedding video. When I plugged in my external hard drive to the laptop everything seemed fine but when it came to burning the complete project it said Error:no plugin Dlls and it could not complete the burn. This is after it rendered the footage too. I tried resizing and pictures that where over the limit of 1000 pixs. My OS is i7 processor with 8gb ram.
So I decided to try a test edit, it was small and with pictures and it burned to disk but WONT play back on my laptop it just gives me raw folders.
Please can someone help as I have a lot of work on at the moment and need to get through it all.
Many thanks Sean

Thanks for the follow up. Sorry that the news were not better.
If your Device Manager/Display Adapter/ shows your Intel video card/graphics card to be just "Intel HD Graphics" with no 2000 or higher in the name after that,
then it my understanding that the preference related to a Intel HD Graphics 2000 or higher card does not apply to you.
I am not sure what the answer is to "PluginCoder error: no plug in DLLs", and, if Adobe knew, I suspect that there would be an Adobe presence in this thread offering a fix for the error. In unchartered waters, then we are left to explore...
1. Premiere Elements does not fare well when there are two video cards/graphics cards used by the computer. What happened when you disabled one or the other of the cards? And, do you find any control in the NVIDIA Controls Panel that will give you the opportunity to fine tune operations related to use with Premiere Elements?
2. You can uninstall all traces of Premiere Elements 13 from your computer, and then install Premiere Elements 13 tryout files from the following web site and then insert your purchased serial number into them during installation.
Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
The key to success in this path is to read and carryout carefully the web site's "Note: Very Important Instructions" in order to avoid Access Denied message.
(I have run burn to disc with Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 7 64 bit and Windows 8.1 64 bit and have not run into any "PluginCoder error: no plug in DLLs" message. My work was with the Premiere Elements 13 tryout.)
If you have not already I would give the computer a free ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts) before you start "2".
https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download?mac
There has been a gap since you posted last. Perhaps Premiere Elements Team will see that you have re-entered the thread and have come up with some answers to this particular issue in the meanwhile - it might have been waiting for your follow up to go to the next level of its suggestions.
Please review and consider.
Thank you.
ATR
Add On...If you are within 30 days of purchase of 13 and you purchased direct from Adobe, you should be able to get a refund (Adobe has the final say.)
If you purchased from an authorized reseller, then any refunds need to be dealt with by the reseller under the terms of the reseller's return policy.

Trouble burning first DVD, others OK

When burning DVDS for a basic DV project.
Everytime I finish a project and burn a disc the first copy doesnt play properly but all the following copys I burn play fine. Have tried useing different type DVDs, same thing happens. Is there a setting I need to change? Would appreciate any help.

Any attempt to install then next dvd fails.
ITunes reads the disc, initiates the burn continuation, then ejects the disc.
This function used to work fine (before iTunes updates)
I tried different brands of dvds.

Break the overall playlist into individual playlists that each fit easily onto one disc. Burn them one at a time. It is a little extra work but you will save a lot of frustration.

Cant' Burn DVDs in Disc Utility or iDVD

I'm trying to burn a 111 min family movie. I've tried burning it in iDVD, but it failed at the "Writing Lead in" part. I've already burnt it once, in Disc Utility, but when I used Disc Utility to burn the new DVD as a disk image, it said 'Cannot get the necessary laser power level in order to burn"
The DVD I use is TDK DVD+R DL but I dont think the disc is the problem, since I have burnt many files on these disc already (which includes the first disc of the movie I'm burning).
What is the problem? Does my burner need replacing?

You need to look at the variables since you last were able to successfully burn this project.
First, make sure that you have enough free disk space to burn: 5GB is rock bottom but 20GB is recommended.
Secondly, shut down any other power consuming programs while you are burning, including your screen saver and power saver programs, and even email. Restarting your computer helps to clean things out.
Make sure that your burner is clean.
At 111 minutes, you are close to the 120 minute max for a single sided disk. Still, I would try burning this project onto a single sided standard DVD-R (instead of +R), using a different brand of disk. Maxell, Verbatim, Sony have been recommended. I personally like HP DVD-R disks. I have heard negative comments about TDK.
If you can burn a small test project, then probably your burner is O.K, and clean enough to burn, although I have heard that they can sporadically malfunction.
If nothing works, you might want to take your computer in to an Apple store or other repair place and have them check your burner.

I burned my first iDVD andpicture quality is not good. Originals are excellent. My photos are shot in raw or jpeg, both are not sharp when I view my DVD. I viewed it on my 1080 dpi tv and my new apple computer.

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

Why can't you do this? There's plenty of third-party software that can do the job. Download a few from
MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and try them out before choosing one to purchase.

Unable to complete catalog backup after first DVD burned successfully

I am running elements 11 on Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center.
The first DVD of the backup is completed successfully. When I insert the 2nd DVD I get this message:
"An error occurred while writing the disc. It is recommended that you contact your disc drive manufacturer and upgrade tot he latest available firmware."
I checked all programs and hardware for updates. I tried the backup 3 times and used new Fiji discs each time, but got the same results and same message each time.

As part of the upgrade(s) you need to account for the listener. Go back and finish that part of the upgrade.

FCE, Sony HD Camera, Family Video Editing, & Burning (HD?)DVD

Ok. Here goes ... I am a new iMac enthusiast who has "seen the light". That being said, I will be purchasing my first iMac in 30 days and I am hopefull that my expectation(s) do not fall flat because they are unrealistic. The only expectation in which there appears to be some doubt is this ... I am planning to convert all of my family videos (present formats of VHS, VHS-C, & AVCHD) to a HD format on a DVD, or at least to another electronic hardware such as a hard drive or a library of SD cards. Well, how many holes do I have in my plan? Before you answer, allow me to tell you my understanding of the barriers. First of all the actual conversion of VHS format to a digital format. I do have a Plextor Digital Video Converter with which I have, in the past, successfully converted the analog VHS format to a digital format and saved on a Windows PC, so I do have some experience with that effort. I do understand the labor intensive exercise this could prove to be. Second, I anticipate the VHS-C conversion to be about the same process. However, what about the video that I presently have on my Sony HDR-SR11? I have already done some importing and editing of said digital video via my daughter's MacPro & iMovie, but what about burning it to DVD? Of course, when I burned the video to DVD it converted to standard format. I want it to be in a HD format. From what I have seen in forums and various discussions on the net, this is almost impossible without some relatively complicated manipulation via Toast 10, BluRay drive, etc. type effort. What is the deal? Why the black hole of interface when it comes to burning digital video to a HD format, even when the original source is HD? It seems to me that there is a huge opportunity for Apple to capture a tremendous segment of business by providng an "Apple-like" seemless process of conveting (AVC)HD video and enabling the burning (archiving) of such video to a digital disk in either iMovie or FCE or whatever, be it a DVD or SD card.
Ok ... back to my question. Is the gap as large as I understand it to be? Is there no other way to accomplish this task? Is FCE a viable option and/or tool in this effort or not? Am I better off using Toast 10 or is that not even the answer? Help!

Hi and welcome to the forum!
I think your expectations are on the whole very realistic, and FCE would certainly help in what you seem to be wanting to do. For converting old VHS tapes, an analog to DV converter will do the trick. You simply plug in the converter to your camera, and it should convert the analog to a DV format that you can capture directly into FCE with the DV Converter preset to make things easier for you.
As for using AVCHD, FCE does not edit it natively but will convert it upon ingest to Apple Intermediate Codec for editing natively. Not much quality is lost in this conversion, and the Log and Transfer interface within FCE that you use to ingest AVCHD from your camcorder is top notch.
The thing you have to understand about HD-DVDs is that they are very costly to produce and view, with a rather small viewer base. It is possible as you said to burn HD DVDs using Toast or the DVD Studio Pro that comes with Final Cut Studio. Even then you would need a separate Blue-ray disc burner to hook up to your computer, the expensive HD discs themselves, and an HD DVD reader to hook up to your HD TV. I guess the reason why iDVD does not offer HD DVD burning is that there are a relatively small amount of people who require it or have the funds to make it work smoothly. Very few people have HD DVD readers in their homes anyway, so you can be assured that most DVDs you would burn would be played solely on your machine.
Do not give up hope! SD DVDs still preserve pretty good quality, are easy to use with the software installed on the Mac, and are assured to play on the majority of TVs owned by people today. If you are bent on getting the HD to work for your TV, Ian's helpful post on [viewing HD videos|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10506824&#10506824] with an inexpensive media player might make more sense for you.
So all in all, FCE is a viable tool for most things you would like to do with video. However, if you are sure you want to burn to HD DVDs you will need other software and equipment than what comes with your Mac.

Macbook Pro not able to burn from External DVD drive

Hi there,
I just bought a Samsung SE-208DB external drive for my 2011 Macbook Pro 8,1 13inch and at first the drive was detected by my Macbook Pro and I was able ot burn a disk but now when I plug in the device, it powers on for a bit then powers off to were I can't eject the disk anymore.Then sometimes it works just fine. I am using an external USB hub with AC plug power so I am confident power to the USb isn't an issue. I just wanted to know are Macbook Pro known to have issues with external drives?
And for those wondering why I don't just use the internal DVD on my Macbook Pro, I replaced it with an SSD for dedicated Windows 7 operating system.
Any ideas on how to approached this problem? Should I just get another brand of external DVD drive. I know I can't get Apples as for some strange reason, Apple makes those only compatible with Macs that didn't come with DVD drives like the Macbook Air.
Thanks

Ok I solved it.
The problem is that the drive uses too much power from the usb port.
You can use one of those cables with on one end two usb plugs and on the other end a mini usb. Connect the coresponding usb for power to an iphone charger or any 5v/1amp charger.
Or you can do what I did. I used a usb hub. In one usb port I connected my iphone charger and the drive to another usb port on the hub.
I have just burned my first succesful disc.
Regards

Error message when trying to re-burn in a DVD-RW

Hi guys,
Everytime I try to re-burn in a dvd-rw shows the following error...
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key: HARDWARE ERROR
Sense Code: 0x03
I press ok and then the next error:
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key: MEDIUM ERROR
Sense Code: 0x57
UNABLE TO RECOVER TABLE-OF-CONTENTS
I press ok again and says:
The disck failed to be written
It only happens when I reburn the dvd-rw, but works perfect the first time I burn de dvd-rw.
My MacBook has Matshita DVD-R UJ-857D
Anyone can help me???
Best rewards

Just a suggestion but I have found on WIn 7 that showing a pdf in the
Preview view can make win think the file is open and locked for editing. The
little icon on the taskbar makes it easier to turn the preview on and off. I
always check my open explorer windows now when I get messages like that and
it usually clears it up. Hope it works foryou.
