Dual Layer burn won't play second layer

I made my first dual layer DVD. I had 2 movies that were produced by FCE. Each movie was just under an hour. I set up the main menu so that you could select to play either movie or could access the scene selection for either movie. I selected the first sequence in the second movie to be where the second layer would be located. I burned the DVD from my iMac and tried to play the DVD in our families DVD player and a PS2. The first movie plays just fine. When you select to play the second movie, the DVD acts like that's where it's going and then it brings you right back to the main menu. I went back to the iMac and it could play the second movie without a hitch. I used the high quality Ridata DVD.
What am I doing wrong here? Can someone direct me to a possible answere?

DVD-R DL is Double Layer. DVD+R DL is Dual Layer. My optical drive is for +R. Now if I'm doing single layer disk, then I use DVD-R, which is compatable with most DVD players.
The problem that I was having was due to not selecting the break-point check-box in the inspector window for the chapter marker that I wanted to be the break-point.
Here's the break-down. After doing the build, make sure that there is a chapter marker that can be used as a break-point. To do this, select format and select the 'Disk/Volume' tab. Select the 'Layer Options' to be Dual. Click on the 'Dual-Layer Break Point' option and see if there are any markers that are NOT grayed-out. If you cannot select any markers, then you need to start adding markers to your project and re-build. (Tell it to Reuse the directory so that it won't have to rebuiled all of the video content.) Once you are able to select a marker to be the break point, select that marker in the timeline and select the 'Dual-Layer Break Point' check-box in the Inspector window. Delete any extra markers that you don't want and Format.

I have 10.3.1, how come the CD's I burn won't play in my vehicle?

I have itunes 10.3.1, how come the CD's I burn won't play in my vehicle?

I have been having issues with edited tracks from Toast/CD Spin Doctor that I send to my iTunes library, so that I might burn them onto a CD at a later date.
For example, when I try to hear my 3:42 edited track of a tune I had just sent over from Spin Doctor to iTunes, instead of hearing 3:42 of the "edited track", I only hear the first 3:42 of the raw "unedited" track. In other words, if my raw Spin Doctor file had 20 seconds of silence before the track started, I would hear that first 20 seconds in my iTunes file instead of the edited file.
Personally, I think Apple needs to allow us Mac users to have a "download previous version" option when serious bugs like this appear on the updates. Seems they give Windows users links to older versions, but for us Mac users, they make it hard for us to easily find older versions. I feel like I'm being held hostage waiting for the next version, or patch.
And when I try to report the issue to Apple, when I go to the "What version of iTunes are you using?", they still don't have version 10.3 listed in their pulldown menus (as of 7/7/11).
If you want me to plunk down money for Lion, then you better get my iTunes back to where I could use it again.
Sorry for the rant, I've been in a major vinyl transfer-to-CD groove in the last month, and this just ruins my momentum. Apple has really disappointed me.

Dvd burned won't play.. tried many methods of trouble shooting still nothin

I'm trying to burn some of my video work for an application for grad school. It is HD, but I exported to an mov. file threw it in dvd studio pro and when I build it's fine, and simulate it it works, when I burn it it work on my mac, but it won't play on anything else?? Not my xbox or dvd player? The menu is set correctly with buttons working/linking fine. When I open the "dvd" on my mac it has the video_ts folder in it. I burned two different kinds on a doual layer 8.5 gb - r and a 4 gb + r and still nothing? I have no idea whats wrong can anyone suggest any other trouble shooting/solving methods? thanks, I'm working against deadline for grad school so time is important.

You burned an HD DVD. This is a nearly defunct format that will only play on a Mac or Toshiba's discontinued HD DVD player.
You will need to start over.
Delete any folders that DVDSP may have created. They are of no use to you.
The material must be encoded as DVD (not HD DVD) m2v and ac3
When you start your project again in DVDSP, make sure you use a DVD (not HD DVD) template.
You will need to recreate all your buttons, links etc from scratch. There is no way to port an HD DVD project into a DVD project.
Good luck,

The DVD I burned won't play on my DVD player

I filmed my son playing a concert on my iPhone. It is about an hour long. I was able to make it into a quick time movie. I figured out how to bun it on to a DVD throught Finder, but the DVD won't play on my DVD player or the Mac DVD player. What am I doing wrong?

Did you use iDVD to create the video DVD for playing?
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality 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.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

Why all of a sudden cd's I burn won't play in my truck ? Should I have never allowed itunes to update ?

Why all of a sudden cd's that I burn on my pc from iTunes won't play in my truck ? Nothing changed except I allowed iTunes to update !

If you go directly to the Cox web mail site does the password work there?
If so you know you have a working password.
From the menu bar in Thunderbird select:
'''Tools-Options-Security-Passwords-Saved Passwords'''
Click the button to show passwords.
Is the password shown correctly there?
If not remove it and close Thunderbird.
When you open Thunderbird the next time you will be asked for a password. Enter the correct password.
No menu bar with Tools showing? Press the alt key.
Incorrect server settings can also cause the password error. You should get a current list of server settings from Cox and compare those with what you have set in Thunderbird and make any needed corrections.

DVD BURNED WON'T PLAY IN DVD PLAYER...HELP!

EVERY TIME i BURN MY DVD IN STUDIO PRO IT COMES UP "BAD DISK" ON THE TELEVISION SCREEN, BUT WILL PLAY ON COMPUTER DVD PLAYERS...DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT I'M DOING WRONG...I'M ON DEADLINE AND IN A FIX!

First, please turn of the CAPS LOCK. IT MAKES THE POST HARD TO READ.
Second, it sounds as if you are creating a HD DVD.
If the folder in the DVD is called HVDVD_TS, there is your problem.
and if you are on a deadline and in a fix, give us some details without capitals.

CDs I burn won't play on car player

I have no problems burning audio CDs with itunes. The CDs play great on every CD player EXCEPT the on in my car, which is where I really want to use them. I've burnt MP3 files to audio CDs using other software and they play just fine in my car, just not the CDs I create with itunes. Any suggestions? And trading cars is not an acceptable suggestion! Thanks.

Dunno what the issue is, but I've been having the same problem for a while. Disks I burn on my arch box actually cause some settop players to hardlock. ISOs I created a few months ago burn fine, but newly created ones, even of the same media, do not. All of them play fine on any computer I throw them in - linux, Mac, or windows.

Dvd I burned won't play in friends mac...

Why does a slideshow that I burned a dvd of plays fine in my new macbook pro but not in my friend's older macbook?

Hi
Most common origin to this is
• brand of DVD e.g. Memorex, Noname and other Cheap brands usually do not work for Video - I only use Verbatim (More organic dye in these)
• type of DVD used - DVD-R plays on more and older players as DVD+R and +/-RW is known trouble makers
• burn speed - I set it down to x4 = less burn errors = Plays on more devices

Blue ray Burner Won't play Blue rays

I bought a HP Pavilion Dv6-2119tx (WF606PA) a couple of months a go last night I hired my first Blue ray Movie and the Laptop says it is set to Region A (US ...) where as I live in Australia and the Region is Region B and the Laptop was bought at Binglee Australia how do I set the drive to region B. I know how to set the DvD region to 4 for Australia in the Drive properties in My Computer (Windows 7 Home Premium) but it says nothing about Blue ray region settings.
Thanks for any help

Hi,
You should be able to set region in software which You are using to play blue-ray's.

Burned CDs won't play on portable player

My friend who has a PC has been burning CDs for me of spoken-word MP3s. They play fine on my portable CD player. Recently she gave me a USB drive with a bunch of MP3s for me to burn myself on my new MacBook Pro. The CDs I burned won't play on the CD player (but they will play in iTunes on my computer). I don't understand what's going on...can anyone help out? Thanks.

Yes, if your interest is only in burning CDs and you don't want to keep the music in iTunes, the process is pretty cumbersome. You may want to buy a disc burning application like Toast, which can burn all sorts of formats without your needing to import anything into iTunes.

Burned CDs won't play after updating to 6.0

After updating to 6.0 and 6.01 the CDs I burn won't play in my car stereo. This was never a problem prior to the updates.
I double checked everything I could think of and am burning them to CD-Rs and have audio CD selected on my burning preferences. I have even tried using several different brands of CD and using a slower burning speed.
Any ideas?

absolutely nothing.All the controls are normal. When i try to double click a track to play it just highlights the track. When i use the play button, it operates but no track plays. Even in purchased tracks it won't play! There are one or two tracks that will play normally but they are random ones. Have tried the suggestion that are recommended but with no success.

Burned DVD-R won't play in domestic DVD player

Why a DVD-R i burn won't play in a common domestic DVD player, even the most recent and good quality ones ? Is there something else i should do before burning ?

How did you burn it? If you dragged the files to the dvd in finder and then hit burn it won't play in a dvd player, but if you used iDVD it should work.

I attempted to move my iTunes library so that I can share it with the other accounts on my computer. Now it won't play on any account. How do I restore locations without losing all my songs etc?

I was following directions on a mac board on how to share my iTunes library with my kids accounts on my computer. I must have not followed the directions correctly, as now I can not listen to any music on any account including the admin. I don't remember where I got the instructions or what I did to reverse the things that I moved. How do I restore my ability to listen to all the music that I have without re-aquiring it?
And then how do I get it so that I can share with the other accounts on my computer?
thanks

Without knowing what changes you made it's impossible to say what you can do to fix it, but I would suggest checking two things in the Preferences menu: first, under the Parental Controls, make sure you haven't disabled any of the areas that won't play; second, go into the Sharing area and uncheck the "Share library on my local network" box, then go back to the main library and see if the songs will play.

DVD RW DW-U10A won't read burned Dual Layer DVD

My friend created a dual layer dvd for me on his PC. I put it in my G5 and after about 15 seconds of the drive trying to read the dist it just gets spit out. It won't mount or anything.
Why is this happening? I've never had problems reading discs created on a PC. Is my drive incompatible with DVD DL+R media?

Hi,
I've been having a similar issues since not long ago. I think it coincides with Apple,s last security update (although I can't swear the 2 are connected).
I have a dual core 2GHz PowerMac G5 with a Pioneer DVD-R 110D Dual Layer.
I'm burning Dual Layers medias with Toast 7 (DATA, DVD-VIDEOS ETC). They all mount fine after and I can read the files etc. However if I insert the discs a few day slater, about 50% of them won't mount and are rejected without any error message!
Anyone else has this problem?

Dual layer DVD will not play after iDVD burning

Hi All,
I am having some trouble making a useable DVD. I have a video that I recorded and imported into iMovie (2h33m long). I exported it to iDVD, which told me that I needed to use a dual layer DVD to make it fit. Here's where I noticed the first problem: iDVD has one option for a dual layer disc, stating that it has 7.7GB storage space, and my discs have 8.5GB. I set it to use the standard setting for the DL disc any ways, turned the quality down a bit to make it fit, and burned the DVD. After burning two discs, I still do not have one that works. It comes up as "supported disc not available" on my Mac, and as a blank disc on any other machine I put it in. It will run on my coworker's brand new iMac, but that is the only one. Am I doing something wrong? The only mistake that I have corrected since I have tried all this is changing the aspect ratio back from 4:3 to 16:9 in iMovie (I am not sure how that happened, as the video was originally recorded in 16:9). I am re-exporting the file to my desktop now in the proper ratio, and changed the quality to HD. I am waiting for the file to encode as we speak. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this work is for my local school board and is very time sensitive.
I am running a 28" iMac, 2.66GHz Intel i5, 8GB RAM, 1TB hard drive on OSX 10.6.8.

I set it to use the standard setting for the DL disc any ways, turned the quality down a bit to make it fit, and burned the DVD.
That part I don't understand.
iDVD encoding settings:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1502?viewlocale=en_US
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced two-pass technology to encode your video (The first pass determines which parts of the movie can be given greater compresson without quality loss and which parts can’t. The second pass then encodes those different parts accordingly) , resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned about the time taken.
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.
