Chapters don't show in DVD burned from Compressor 4

I followed instructions for setting chapter markers in FCP X and they don't show up in DVD created from Compressor 4 output. The chapters do show up under the "video" menu in Compressor 4 output settings, but only project title shows in the menu on finished DVD.
Am I missing a step somewhere?
I also wonder if I should invest in "Toast" software for more flexibility in output to DVD.
Any help on this topic would be appreciated

Possibly – if you need the capability for multiple tracks and/or a bit more choice in menus. But you don't need Toast for chapter navigation.

DVD burned from a disk image won't work on different computers???

Under the directions for how to burn a DVD from an disk image, the Apple Help document (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93006) says this:
"Note: When burning a disc from a disk image, the burned disc will have the same format as the disk image. If you need a disc that will work on different computers, burn the disc in the Finder."
Does this mean that the DVDs that I am burning from the disk image won't be able to be played on a PC? a Mac other than mine? Neither? WHAT? I am planning to sell the DVDs of a workshop I present -- to people who may be playing them on PCs. Should I not be using this method (burning from a disk image) to burn my DVDs?

Video DVDs are in the UDF format. The disk image you created is in the UDF format. When you use Disk Utility to burn the disk image to writable media, the new discs will be in UDF format and all will be well.
You are doing things correctly.
BTW, unless you have an external burner with lots of cooling, if you expect to use the burner in your Mac (which DOESN'T have lots of cooling), it's a good idea to pause between discs to allow the burner to cool down. (BTW, this comment is based on the reported results of several people in the forum. If you don't allow the cool down timer, you will start to create 'bad' discs. Also it is VERY important that you reduce the burn speed in Disk Utility to 4x or lower in order to create discs with maximum compatability with players. (You should see a way to change the speed in Disk Utility afterr you have inserted a disc.)

Unable to boot on Mac Mini from DVD burned from .iso image

I'm following the Beginner's Guide to try and install Arch on a Mac Mini "Late 2009".
I have downloaded archlinux-2014.10.01-dual.iso and associated .sig, and have verified it using the gpg2 command described in the guide (including the link to http://sparewotw.wordpress.com/2012/10/ … -sig-file/ which gave some assurance that the ambiguous answer produced by gpg2 was in fact legitimate).
I then used OSX's Disk Utility to burn the .iso file to a blank DVD. After verifying the burn, it ejected the disk.
When I re-inserted it, I received a message that the disk was unmountable, giving me the option to Ignore or Eject. I chose Ignore. Then I went to the System Preferences > Startup Disk, to see if it would at least appear there as an option, but it didn't.
(I should mention that I also burned the same file to another disk using a Windows machine, and when I inserted it into the Mac I got the same message, so I don't think it's corrupted media. (Bad reader, perhaps? eek.) )
That's where I stand. There are so many variables at play here (many of them Apple-induced, I think) that I've been unable to find a solution that fits my situation. Could someone please provide suggestions / pointers / answer?
Thanks,
Chap

Exactly right. Holding the Option key caused a display of various bootable OSes, including the one I had just burned from the Mac using hdiutil (weirdly entitled "windows"). I selected it, and it booted. I now have a console. Problem solved. Thanks.
UPDATE: note that this boot disk *cannot* be seen or selected via the OSX System Preference > Startup Disk panel. Holding the Option key during startup seems to be the only way to select it.

Disks don't show in DVD player

Hiya. I've got the latest version of iPhoto.
I tried burning photos to a CD, using the Export option and then a Burn folder. The burn went fine, but the photos don't show up on my DVD player. The player can display Kodak Picture CDs, but apparently not the ones I burn, at least not in the present configuration, which I presume is not the same as the Kodak CD style.
So - is there anything I can do to make said disks work on my DVD player? Some setting I'm as yet unaware of?
Thanks

You are correct that iPhoto does not make Picture Cds.
The Finder also will not make Picture CDs.
You can however make 99 photo slideshow within iDVD. You can have a lot more slideshows all with 99 photos in them. Of course you have to have iDVD and a supported DVD burner
You can also use a third party program that will do Picture CDs for you that will play in supported DVD players.

HELP PLEAE ANYONE?

DVD burned from a PC mounts as blank CDR

A client of ours has received (on a few occasions) simple photo images burned to a DVD that when they arrive, they mount on the Mac as a blank CDR, asks if you want to "Open it in the Finder" to burn to it, etc... I have allowed the Finder to mount the "blank" media (mounts with the CDR icon), and even tried burning to it to see if it was actually blank, but would get "too much data to burn" errors when trying to burn a 52k Word doc, so it certainly seems as if there is data on them, and you can see the burned area on the DVD itself (about half full).
Since this has happened a few times to them, and it is reproducible on all machines when it does, it seems it has something to do with the way the PC user is burning them or with the media itself (dual layer maybe?), and simply wanted to know if there was anyone here that knows what the problem might be, or at least have a hint. On a Mac, as you are all aware, it's as simply as dragging stuff to the DVD icon and burning... so I'm not sure what issues on a PC could cause this (or what burning program, burn setting, format, etc...). Mounts as a blank CDR, even though there is data on it, and the printing on the media itself states it is a DVD.
Thank you very much for any info!

DVD burned from iDVD skips on TV not computer

Help! I create a graduation DVD every year for the 8th grade at my daughters' school. It is created in iMovie and is made of pictures and music - basically a slideshow. After I create it in iMovie, I pull it into Garage Band to chapter it, then send it to iDVD from there. Basically I have been getting calls from parents that when they try to view the slideshow it skips terribly on a television. However, if they put it in their computer it views just fine. Can anyone tell me how to correct this problem? I will soon have 40 parents calling me for new DVDs!!!!
Thank you in advance to anyone that can help me with this problem!!! It is truly appreciated.
Lisa
PS The music teacher informed me that previous video projects I created for her before April viewed just fine on a television. It was with the April 19th Musical that started to have problems and only could be viewed on a computer.

Just to add to the good advice already posted above; might also what to consider two more items. The first being that your mac is not built for burning back to back dvd's. You can burn one fine, maybe even two but thereafter you must allow the lens to cool prior to burning subsequent dvd's or you will experience exactly what you pointed out above. Namely, much higher error rates when burning additional dvd's causing them to skip, distort, or stop altogether.
Secondly, consider making a disc image to the desktop and burn from that image only to Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, or Maxell Dvd-R at no higher than 4x. Use Minus media if the distortions are solely visible on set top dvd players or TV's (as opposed to your mac or pc). Minus media will give you better results over plus media toward your objective of universal playback.
Hope this is helpful but if not just come on back.

Please help me, My contract don't show when I update from iOS 4 to 5.1

Hello everybody I'm from Thailand.
I use iPhone 4 iOS 4.3 and I get update to iOS 5.1 yesterday.
Everything are done accept my contract list don't show.
I got every way for recover but it does not back.
Could anyone please help me for this problem?
I have AddressBook.sqlitedb file but can not attach it on this post.
Have anyone can export them in CSV Format?
Thank you very much, I'm don't know to get help from any one.
Best Regards,

It's a built-in app, so it can't be deleted nor downloaded from the store. If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Camera being set 'off' ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Dvd burning from idvd with strange results

I have made a short 5 minute movie in FCP and exported it to QuickTime as I have done numerous times before. I created a menu in IDVD and then dragged QT file in. Everything looks great and plays on screen great. Then I burn the DVD. Once done I put it on TV via a different DVD player and it plays however about a minute into the video on the top of the screen I see part of another image. It almost looks like part of my G4 background screen (which is a picture) has somehow leaked through and gotten burned onto this dvd. Anyhow, I thought it was a bad DVD so burned another (TDK 8x DVD-r). Same thing happened again. Even when I put this burned DVD on my G-4 and play it I still have weird image. I went back and checked the movie again in FCP and then re-exported to QT as a self contained movie and did the whole IDVD thing all over again. Still has the weird image leaking through. By the way, before burning I did play the QT file through QT and that plays perfect! It also plays perfect through FCP. I am concerned it could be my drive. Any suggestions or hints.

Well I discovered the problem previously posted by me concerning dvd burning with strange results. I found the exact spot in the burned dvd where the video had the other image appear along the top and then went to FCP and found the exact spot on it. Lo and behold on FCP at that exact spot in the video a "marker" had been inserted. I cleared all markers and re-exported and burned again in idvd and everything works perfectly. So apparently the marker insert in FCP caused all the problems.

Dvd burned from iPhoto not open

I burned the images of iPhoto on dvd.
When I try to open the dvd a message says: "the library of iPhoto is in a protected volume: Restart iPhoto with access reading/writing or restart with option key".
Nothin happens. Why???

You're accessing it wrong. You don't try open that Library, instead you open iPhoto normally and the disk appears in the iPhoto Window.
Or
Copy the library from the DVD to your HD. Then open it.

DVD Burned from iDVD 6.0.1 plays on iMac but not a DVD player?

After burning a DVD production on DVD-RW and DVD+RW CDs and both directly from iDVD and by first creating a disc image. In all cases they worked on my iMac but none of them worked on the DVD player. Only the DVD+RW is compatible with the player and it appears the DVD starts to load but can not finish the process. Is there something I missed or is there a bug in iDVD 6.0.1?
The iDVD production was made from scratch using Magic iDVD and some video files. The Map has no errors and there where no error messages.

Is there something I missed or is there a bug in iDVD 6.0.1?
The bug is probably the format you're burning to...
Use DVD-R. I'd recommend Verbatim DVD-R burned at 4x or slower. I'll bet that will play just fine...as long as the DVD player is relatively new (2-3 years old).

DVD burned from img won't play in other players

In order to back up an old DVD I had to protect it from damage, I ripped it with handbrake and encoded it as a diskimage via iDVD. As the movie was 1.5 hours in length I used the professional setting under project info. After approximately 12 hours of encoding the disk image finished. I can open the disk image with DVD player on the mac and it performs perfectly. I used the disk utility to burn the disk image to a Memorex DVD+R without incident. This morning I tried the burned DVD in my xbox360 which read it as a mixed media disk and would not play it. Next I tried in my sony blu ray player which read it as a photo disk with no photos on the XMB.
What do I need to do to have the burned DVD work properly? Are the DVD+Rs bad or is it something with the encoding? Thanks in advance for your help. I am a pretty big novice to iDVD and the whole process.

To create an image file, launch Disk Utility and select File: New: Disk Image From Folder. In the window that appears, navigate to the desired folder (the DVD) and then click on Image. Give the image file a name, and click on Save when prompted. That’s it.

INTERLACING ARTIFACT promblem on DVD burn from HD uncompressed clip

Hello,
I'm trying to export a long feature film that has been exported from After Effects to HD uncompressed 10-bit in HDTV (rec. 709) color space, 1920x1080, 29.97.
The original footage was ProspectHD 10-bit digitized from HDTV tapes shot using SONY HVR-Z1U.
The HD clips are flawless, I use them with a Dolby Digital Surround AC3; there 6 clips lined up, since putting all together makes for a to massive clip to handle smoothly.
Encore takes about 40 hours to re-encore to burn it to either a blu-ray or DVD.
The result is ok in most of shots, but when action get quicker or camera jerkier or fades are involved; then, I get interlace artifacts, I see unsynched fields effets where lines aren't lined up properly.
Sometimes it goes as far as a region on color (like a sky) falling appart for a few frames; in fades mostly, but not mostly.
I've seen many stuff on this forum about interlacing problems, but nothing I could tie down to my exact problem...
Should I pre-encode my clips to mpeg2 DVD ready before doing the burning ?
Should I deinterlace them ?
If I do deinterlace them, wouldn't this affect synch with audio clip ?
What about the deinterlace button option in Encore ?
If I pre-encode (deinterlacing or not) before burning, won't Encore recompress it when burning DVD ?
If it does wouldn't I loose quality this way ?
To stop this, can I do lie I did for my already encoded AC3 audio track ; mark clip as "do not re-encode" ?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Frédéric

My computer is:
Athlon 64 x2 6400+
8 GB ram
Windows Vista 64-bit
NVIDIA QUADRO FX-1500
