Choppy playback after burning data dvd in toast

Hi Ive just finished burning a copy of various short clips which I exported as a quicktime files from FCP onto my desktop then saved them as quicktime mov. through QT player which was successful enough.I then burned a copy of this QT movie in toast as a data dvd compatible for Mac & PC viewing.When I played the dvd in QT 7.4.5 the playback was choppy but the sound was fine. I then played the same disc on my G5 desktop running panther and QT 7.4.1 and it was absolutely fine.Is this process rather a roundabout way of doing things ? and what could be causing this choppy playback on my laptop?

Data DVD's and regular movie DVD are not read in the same way. A regular movie that is being read by your DVD player app is being stream too...and the player is set up to read from a DVD that way.
On the other hand a data DVD the data is just setting there...The DVD player can't send the video to Quicktime fast enough to play smoothly. That's why you need to copy the data DVD to the hard drive.
It would be if you had a 1gig image on a DVD and tried to edit it with Photoshop from the DVD. Photoshop would constantly bog down trying to read from the DVD while editing the image. Same if you had video files on a DVD tried and to it them from a editing app. The editing app not getting the data fast enough making editing very slow. Sometimes the program that's trying to read the from the DVD will freeze or crash. Best to copy the data from the DVD to the hard drive.

  • NEED HELP WITH CHOPPY TYPE AFTER BURNED TO DVD

    I have about 20 jpgs (RGB) of just copy on a black background. I've brought those jpgs into iMovie HD and they look fine.
    When I render those jpgs as a movie (basically a slideshow) to a DVD and play it back on your average television...each slide of copy on a black background, comes out horrible. Grainy, pixelated, and out of focus.
    Please, I need to know if there is anything anyone has tried and had work. I feel that I've exhausted quite a few methods for executing the problem...but still nothing better.
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I don't think the problem is happening in the
    "burning" of the DVD, it is happening right when I am
    previewing. I can see that the text I have currently
    up on screen looks great, it's fine, nothing is wrong
    with the copy. But as soon as I view it before I put
    it to disc, it becomes completely distorted and
    choppy. Like I've imported a low res file to begin
    with or something.
    The preview function in iDVD should be though of as a 'for position only' function. It DOES NOT represent how the final mpg-2 compressed DVD will look.
    Preparing images for DVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/17.html will give you some recommendations on image sizes to use.

  • Choppy playback after upgrading hardware

    I've recently upgraded from a phenom 965 and 7gb 1333 gb ram, to an i5-2500k with 16gb 1600mhz. Otherwise everything is the same, i just reinstalled windows and premiere pro after the upgrade. After the upgrade this error, or annoyance, occured. Here's all the specifics:
    -Premiere pro CS5.5.2 v/latest updates
    -Windows 7 pro (fresh install v/important updates)
    -h.264 in mp4-container
    -no error messages
    -very choppy playback after "jogging". When theres a lot of movement, the picture becomes very "stuttery" and "pixelated" in that area.
    -no extra codecs or similar is installed.
    - hardware:
       -nvidia gtx 560 v/latest drivers
      -i5 2500k @ 4,6Ghz
      -16Gb 1600mhz xmp ram
      -7200rpm 500gb source hdd
      -5200rpm 120gb scratch disk
      -Agility 120gb ssd OS and programs
    I have tried using 1/4 playback, using ssd as scratch disk, installing and uninstalling extra codecs but none of it made any difference. The cpu or ram never exceeds 50% capacity when the problems occur. 

    But wouldnt the cpu reach 100% capacity before it starts being the bottleneck?
    Only if all the other components supply data fast enough that the CPU can run flat out. If the CPU has to wait for other components to catch up, CPU load will be less than 100%.
    If you race alone on a track and there are no other contestants (components) in the race, you can go flat out at 100% of the speed, but if the track is filled with many other contestants (components) from a local old-age house, your speed will drop significantly.

  • After burning a DVD one or more of the scenes wont play?

    Adobe Premier 11 - After burning a DVD one or more of the scenes wont play, the scene is showing and highlights but wont play...this has only recently just started to happen. I thought it may have been the physical DVD disk issue, but have tried others and same thing is occuring?

    Does iTunes let you burn CDs even though you have installed iTunes 8? There are many users - me included - who have lost the ability to burn CDs after we installed iTunes 8. I am curious to learn what may be different about your settings versus those of us who are being adversely impacted. Do you know what the UpperFilters and LowerFilters are in your registry for disc burning?
    Thank you.

  • Slideshow shaking after burning to DVD

    I have created a DVD containing a video and a slideshow. After burning the DVD and dropping it into my DVD player (actually two different DVD players -- different ages / brands), I notice that while the video is steady and plays fine, I am getting shaking of slides in the slideshow. The shaking is slight, but very noticable. In fact, at times the shaking looks more like a slight bounce (up and down) of the slide, almost evenly spaced in time (i.e. every slide gets a slight bounce). I have tried burning another DVD (burn another), and now I'm starting the burning process from the beginning, so that the rendering can happen again.
    I am burning off my Powerbook's superdrive. Has anyone experienced this, and/or do you have any ideas why this might be happening?
    Brad

    TV - let's talk NTSC - sends one frame of information every 1/30 sec. To minimize flicker, each frame contains two fields of information that are interlaced and transmitted at 1/60 sec. In a moving image this eliminates the 1/30 sec flicker. You will see the interlacing when you make a screen capture of a video image with motion - items in motion will appear as 'teeth on a comb' because the two fields are time separated by 1/60 sec.
    Now lets talk your still images. Lets say each image is displayed on your TV screen for 10 seconds. During that ten seconds, your screen is constantly switching back and forth between two separate field images. Every 1/30 sec a field (lets call it the even field) is displayed followed by a different field (lets call it the odd field) 1/60 sec later.
    Keep in mind these two fields each represent 1/2 of your original image - or every other line of your image (that's why they are said to be interlaced).
    If there in no fine detail, the even and odd fields will be the same - but if there IS fine detail, the two fields will be slightly different. Since they are slightly different (not noticable in area without shap detail) the eye will detect the flicker on a TV set that has interlacing. A computer display (usually) is not an interlaced display, so there is no flicker.
    Note that THIS IS NOT A FAULT of iDVD! It's one of the problems of a system like NTSC video that uses interlaced video fields.
    I had suggested slightly blurring your image - the point is to make the even and odd fields exactly the same so there will be no flicker.
    I've said it before and I'll say it again - it is possible to have a still image that is too sharp on a DVD!
    Note that if you eliminate the flicker on a TV set, the image will look slight soft on a computer monitor. Which is important to you - a TV set or a computer monitor?
    very strange.
    No, it's not strange when you understand what's going on, is it?
    BTW, digital images taken in low light level conditions can have lots of noise (that looks like film grain). This noise can REALLY make a TV image shimmer because there are major differences between the even and odd fields.

  • Previously burned data DVD comes up "blank"

    My previously burned data DVD's are now coming up as "untitled"  and blank. However, my dvd will read a movie DVD. These discs are perfectly clean of smudges/scratches. These discs open fine on my other iMac.
    The DVD will read data and music cds.  Why would it not read all my DVD-r back up discs? Help, please.

    Not yet, but again I cannot see the relevance to dust particles being the issue if the laser reads video DVDs just fine. And it reads CDs just fine.
    Maybe this has something to do with the DVDs? These are stored stacked inside a plastic container in a cabinet.
    I am leaning more in the area of a defective SuperDrive or at leaset in the Superdrive firmware? Something set this off, but I have not updated any software since this happened.
    I'm heading out the door and will pick up a cleaning cloth. I seriousely doubt this is the issue but will try it for the sake of eliminating another step.
    Thank you for your replies. Any other suggestions are surely welcome.

  • Burn data dvd no longer works since 9.0.1 or 9.0

    Since the latest iTunes update, at least 9.0 or 9.0.1, I am unable to burn backup DVD data disks which is my "offsite" backup method besides using Time Machine on an accessory drive. The DVD drive is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-109: Firmware Revision: 1.58. I get error messages, did not save the text, but usually read/write errors, "sense" issues usually cited after several attempts. However, seems to work fine burning from Toast and fine for burning iTunes Audio CDRW disks. Anyone else experience this? I see several having problems recently burning CD's from iTunes, but not this specific issue. I know it's nearly time to update my system to Intel, but it would be nice to hold on a little longer...I did try to force lower speed DVD writes with no help. Thanks...

  • Playback movie burned to DVD from iPhoto

    When I burn a movie to a DVD from iPhoto I get an error message on playback that says "the movie contains an invalid data reference and will not playback". Any suggestions?

    Also, the movies don't appear on the DVD when I play it in the DVD/Blue Ray in the other room.
    You can't burn a DVD like that with iPhoto. You need an authoring application like iDVD or Toast to correctly format the disk.

  • Very choppy playback of burned disk on Mac

    I also posted this in iDVD, but I am putting it here also in case it is a hardware problem that one of you have seen before.
    I created a project in iDVD 6 consisting of a single menu with several slideshows using one of the included themes. After burning to a DVD-R media on my first generation MacBook Pro, the disk won't play back correctly either on my computer or the Mac Mini in our house. It did seem to play on a standalone DVD player.
    On the computers, it proceeds very, very, very slow and choppy, while you can hear the DVD drive head constantly moving and pumping rapidly. I re-burned it several times on different brands of DVDs, all with the same result. I also created a disk image and burned it through Disk Utility at a slow speed, again with the same result. The iDVD settings are 4:3 ration, NTSC and "Best Performance" (although one time I tried "best quality" with the same result.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    -Tom

    Yes. I have also discovered since my last post that if I stop the DVD, wait until the drive stops reading without ejecting it, and then restart the DVD, it works fine. And yet it does this same thing every time. I've tried changing the theme and certain aspects of the main menu and re-burning it. I've tried burning it through Disk Utility. I have tried different brands of DVD's. And the playback problem happens when I play one of the burned DVDs on any of the three macs in our house. And in each case, if I stop it, wait and restart it, it works fine.
    Odd.

  • Hello,  I am have problems with coruption of the photos in a slide show after burning the DVD in iDVD.  This coruption does not always appear when you preview the project.  I have slowed down the burn rate to 1X and kept the quality to professional.

    I am having a great deal of problems with Data coruption in slide shows after I have burned a DVD in iDVD.  I have changed burn rate from best to 1X with no difference in the coruption.  I have the quality set to professional with no improvement.  The size of the project is near 3.95, so it should fit on a single layer burn.  Should I use either iMovie to create the slide show or "Photo to Movie"?  Also, can anyone comment on how I preserve the highest quality picture resolution with a slide show?  If I do use iMovie or Photo to Movie,  the file size should exceed the 4.2 size so, will I have to buy new DVD's which are capable to handle the double layer burn and upto 8 GB?  What DVD's are recommended?  Any preferred brand?  Are there problems with burning with double layer?  I read on this blog of numerous problems.

    DVDs are LOW resolution by today's standards - only about 0.3 megapixels - so there is no way they your images on a TV set will look "High Definition".  See Preparing images for iDVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/6675.html for recommendations on image sizes to use.  Using larger images won't give you better  quality, andf in some cases, will lower you image quality because  the Quicktime resizing that occurs isn't the best.

  • Unable to select individual chapters after burning to DVD.

    I created a wedding DVD with six different chapters in IDVD. Five are videos and one is a slide show. After burning the disc everything seemed fine except I am unable to select the chapters in my DVD player. Is this because I used a DVD+R DL for the blank media instead of a DVD-R DL? I had to use a DL disc because of the size.

    Hi

  • Satellite 5200-903: Can't read my burning Data-DVD

    Hallo,
    i have a problem with my DVD/CD-ROM. It can't read anymore of my Data-DVD (backups of my harddrives) , which I burned with the same. Also it can read Movie-DVDs only after I put the DVDs in and out a couple of times. It has no problems with CDs.
    Do you think it's a software or a hardware problem.
    Thanks,
    Matthias

    Hi Matthias,
    This sounbds like a possible hardware problem to me. As you know the laser has to be re-phased to handle DVDS and the allowable tolerances are much smaller. Hence your unit can handle CDs correvtly but is struggling with DVDs.
    Have you tried cleaning the lens in your DVD-ROM, this may improve the situation for you.
    Best of Luck
