DVD burn Result - to much red in all pictures

I am using iPhoto to adjust pics; using iMovie to make a movie incorporating transitions, music, effects and zoom and pan; very satifisfied with result also did chapter markers; Went to iDvd; created my theme; dragged my movie into iDvd; previewed movie... everything looked great and music was as expected. Burned the movie to a DVD using iDVD and the results of the pictures are all in a redish color... How can I correct this? The movie looked so good on my eMac. Using iLife 5 and have all updates from Apple. Also have run permissions from eMac disk and restarted computer... did this several times... all DVD disks have the redish color cast to them..... Any help would be greatly appreciated... Colleen

Hi, Colleen,
Welcome to the discussions! Sounds as if you are doing everything correctly.
You cannot always guarantee that if preview is fine the burned disk will be ok.
First, try making a disk image. Follow these directions: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
If that looks good, then perhaps the problem is the media. What are you using?
Verbatim DVD-R is the best...many problems with others.
Try those and see if the color is better.
You also might want to look at this thread, and be sure to do anything Len Goff suggests as he is a real DVD expert: Len Goff, "G4 won't recognize DVD-R" #2, 12:53am Oct 14, 2005 CDT

Why does final cut pro x dvd burn take so much time?

I have been trying to nurn a DVD and upload to YOUTUBE with Final Cut Pro X .......I have done this with ease many times before but now a 6 minute video is taking 3 hours to load fpr a DVD burn and ove 2 hours for YOUTUBE upload..
I have the energy saver off on ,y imac, and my internet is very high speed.....Help! Thanks

Looks as though nobody has any ideas and as you have not given any details of your Mac or FCP X workflow it's not surprising.
For a start, without knowing any details, you could try trashing the preferences with

DVD Burn Error: too much motion menu content yet not much.

hi
Keep getting this when i try to burn my DVD, can anyone advise?
+- The following warnings and errors were found during the validation of the current project:+
+- There seems to be too much motion menu content in your project. Correct this problem before you continue burning this project.+
Message was edited by: Logic Pro

Perhaps you can elaborate a bit more. How many menus do you have in the project? In the scenes menus how many motion buttons do you have? How many differen audio files are you using in the menus? Of the files you dropped into motion menus/buttons, how long are those clips? How long are the various audio files you are using? ? ? ? ?? ????? ???????????
I can't see your project so I have no idea what you are already using and if what you have is clearly excessive or not.

Too Much Red/Magenta in Pictures

I am using:
Adobe Pro Extended Version 9.3.2 (in default mode, out-of-the-box mode)
Vista 32 bit
Dell desktop PC with lots of ram
NVidia GEForce 8800 GTX
I am reviewing a draft copy of a friend's PDF e-book. In his e-book are lots of pictures, of which many are strikingly too red or magenta in color.
Is there some setting that I should set so that my software properly picks up the color space and applies it? Is there some other setting that I should be aware of?
I am not sure what software or settings he used to create his PDF e-book. I will ask. He did, mention, however that the pictures look fine on his and his friend's pcs. So whatever the problem might be, I'd like to find out so that, when the e-book is released, others don't suffer the same image degradation problem.
Again, are there switches or setting or general advice that I should be aware of?
Thank you for your advice.

Much to my surprise, I had altered the out-of-the-box settings. In Preferences | Color Management, I had set ProPhoto RGB rather than the traditional sRGB.
I see other documents and the pictures look fine. But in the document that I am reviewing, the pictures look much too red when using ProPhoto RGB. I suspect, though I am not sure, is that some documents have their pictures with the color space profile embedded in each picture. In the document that I am reviewing, I am *guessing* that the color space is not embedded in each picture.

Choosing an external DVD burner all the time instead of the built in burner

I have the Superdrive but prefer to use the external DVD burner to save wear and tear on the Superdrive. When I pop in a blank DVD to burn, the drop down menu appears and I have to manually click on the external DVD burner. Is there something in the system preferences that I can click so that the external burner shows up and not the Super drive?

This is our resident iPhoto guru, Terence Devlin's, advice:
You can move your iPhoto Library to an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Once that is done you can import directly into the iPhoto library on the external HD.

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 with Encore on MacPro will not play in all players

I burned a project with Encore last week using my MacPro's stock DVD burner. I was using Memorex DVD+R disks which I've had mostly success with in the past. I tried the final DVD in 3 players before I considered it the final product, and it worked in all 3...1 high end player and 2 no-names. I went to present the project at a screening the other night and their Sony player would not read the disk (but did read everyone else's)! Luckily I had access to another player, so it wasn't a complete embarrassment, but still unnerving considering I have to make about 60 DVDs next month for a client. Any idea what could have caused this?

The difference between + and - these days should be zero. However, if one format gives you trouble, always try the other.
I've delivered to clients where + was the only format that worked, and I've delivered to clients where - was the only format that worked.
As has been said before, the only way to absolutely ensure maximum compatiblity is to replicate your discs. Obviously that's not prudent in cases like yours. :)

Adobe Elements catalog backup fails after 3 discs. Message says something wrong with dvd writer. I bought an external dvd burner and changed disc brands, still the same results.

Full backup of catalog stops after three discs. I have changed disc brand and added a new external dvd burner but still get the same results. What is wrong?

If you have the hard drive space, see if you can complete a back up to the hard drive instead. If that works successfully, it could be a buffer or caching issue with the burner. It could be running out of space because it is not clearing after each disk burn.

HELP... From "Its the same all over again"...PE won't recognize my DVD Burner

Hi Guys,
I am sitting with my computer repair guy. We have beaten my Dell Precision 340 desktop to death in an attempt to try to understand why its not recognizing its DVD burner. It started with the old Sony burner I had prior, but since it was old and very slow I took this opportunity to upgrade to a new higher speed Samsung DVD burner.
So we removed the old, put in the new did anti virus tests, tried the Microsoft patch found here, and so far nothing. Its as simple as in PE the little cautionary yellow triangle comes up and says "DVD burner not detected" and the "rescan" button is greyed out and not an option I have.
Its as complex as in when we try to burn ANYTHING through the desktop drag and drop its then shows as a CD drive once the blank disc is inserted, and not a burner, of any type!!
It will however burn a disc through NERO, but I have to save the project and then burn it from it stored location on the hard drive.
This of course eliminates many of the assets of the program that I desire.
I need any and all help you can give. Computer guy and I are at a total loss.
Thanks in advance,
~Emily

Thanks for the quick replies!!!
Sadly we have read all you mentioned and for the last week NERO hasn't been installed and all components were removed and double and triple checked that they were'nt within a country mile of the computer.
We just know from testing that Nero will allow it to burn.
We did try everything you have already linked.
We did try the registry fix listed her: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/171067-32-drive-drive-detected
Nothing.
This is going above our collective heads and we're starting to dream up ways to a.) fix it and b.) destroy it all in a magnificent display of pyrotechnics!!!
HELP!!

V570, eSATAp port, run a 5.25 (internal) DVD burner? or too much current?

V570 Ideapad, which has an eSATAp jack.
I have an eSATAp (powered eSATA)cable that goes to a standard sata power+data connector which can be plugged to a stock 5.25 (internal) HD or DVD. My question is about the power demands of a DVD burner to that connection.
Thoughts? (it ran a 2.5" WD HD fine, but now that one's inside the Lenovo where the DVD was...)

An internal 5.25" DVD desktop drive requires 12 volts, if I'm not mistaken. The Esata port only puts out 5 volts, right?
The drive in the link has a picture of the back label on the drive and it says 12v.

New DVD burner not working w/iTunes

Okay, I've been working on this and digging through these forums for awhile now. I'm still stumped. So here we go:
I had a new DVD burner installed. I'm using Nero software which works fine for DVD, data, etc. However, iTunes gives me the "disc burner or software not found" message if I try to burn a disc from iTunes.
I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes (yes, latest version) twice now. No go.
In edit>preferences>advanced>burning CD burner: still shows the old CD-RW.
iTunes will recognize and play prerecorded CDs and ask if I want to import them.
In help>diagnostics>CD/DVD drive tests, after putting in a prerecorded CD as requested: Optical drive detected IS the correct device (D: ASUS DRW-1814BL) BUT I get a red dot with "no audio CD found" yet the songs are showing in the device window (in actual iTunes behind the diagnostic window).

Any good alternatives to DVD burning? VCD? S-VHS?

I am totally disillusioned with the time it takes to encode and burn a DVD with my PB. AppleCare acknowledges that it takes 8x - 10x source material for successful burning & if you look on these (amazingly honest & helpful)forums you soon learn that DVD burning on any Mac can be very intimidating and problematic.
I am wondering if there is info readily available for alternatives:
1. VCD burning. I have a ton of small clips and could trim down larger clips to burn onto cds. Are there crazy problems with this as with DVDs?
2. This PB has an S-VHS output & I got a stereo audio cord for output. Will videos created like this be viewable? I suppose it depends on the quality of original material & how do I find this info?
My PB is loaded with every imaginable video and audio pro & standard app. including ToastTitanium7, FinalCutPro, CinemaTools, DVD-StudioPro, QuickTimePro7 etc.
I was praying that DVD burning was a lot simpler than my experiences with Windows based machines. There one needed to have a stand alone powerhouse & Re-Install Windows every couple dozen burns to get rid of all the corruption but not even doing that with a Mac seems to make the process as easy as Advertised. Live & learn.
thanks,
frank

I can only speak from my experience, but I've not found creating and burning DVDs to be at all intimidating and certainly not problematic. Every video DVD I've created has gone smoothly; your mileage may vary, of course. Please note that these forums are for people who are having problems; the many, many people who use their systems with no trouble at all have little incentive to post in a troubleshooting forum.
I notice that you list a number of pro apps including DVD Studio Pro; DVDSP is not intended for consumer use and has a very steep learning curve (although DVDSP 4 has a mode with a simplified interface that's easier, but it still takes some learning). If you want simple, you should be using iDVD; that's Apple's consumer application for creating video DVDs, and the latest versions of iDVD and iMovie (part of iLife '06) make it, in my experience, about as easy as it can get. You can get results with DVD Studio Pro that you cannot with iDVD, but it's going to take work, just as working with FInal Cut Pro will involve more learning time than working with iMovie.
As to creation time for the disk, that's strictly a function of how fast your system can process. Compressing to MPEG-2 (which is the format video DVDs use and which is what takes the majority of the time involved in burning the DVD) takes a lot of processor horsepower, and a single-processor PowerBook isn't going to be as fast as a dual-processor G4 and much less so than a G5. If you're encoding and burning DVDs regularly, you might want to consider moving to a system with higher processing power. To optimize compression time on your PB in the meanwhile, make sure that no other application is running when you're processing the DVD and that your system has plenty of available hard drive space (for the temporary files that will be created).
As to alternatives, that depends on your needs. If you need playback in a DVD player, then burning a DVD will be your best route. Very few players can play a VCD, and as MacNoel said, quality isn't stellar. Whether or not VHS would be an acceptable alternative only you can say.
Regards.

LaCie DVD burner almost a waste of money?

Has anyone with OSX 10.3.9 got a LaCie 22x d2 DVD +/-RW Drive to write DVDs from the Finder?
I have an Apple iBook Power PC G4 with an internal drive which writes only CDs.
I bought the LaCie d2 Drive [ Product code 301484EK ] so I could write DVDs.
It has the latest Firmware v1.20 ( Oct 4 2009 ).
I have used the supplied DVD-ROM to install the software and it showed a message
"Install LaCie DiscRecording Support
The software was successfully installed
Click Restart to finish installing the software."
I did a Restart as required.
It does write DVDs from Toast7 Basic, included on the DVD-ROM sent with the Drive, but it will not write DVDs from the Finder.
Finder/File/ does not show the expected option "New Burn Folder" which is what I expected from LaCie Support web site - as the following link claims:
http://www.lacie.com/us/support/support_manifest.htm?id=10113&article=1065
I have spent countless hours exchanging emails with LaCie Tech Support but they do not have a solution.
http://www.lacie.com/UK/mystuff/ticket/ticket.htm?id=101666718
At the request of LaCie Tech Support, the software has also been downloaded from
http://www.lacie.com/us/support/drivers/driver.htm?id=10055
but no improvement.
The LaCie DVD Writer does appear in System Profiler, but Disc Burning is shown as "Not Supported".
I have used Firewire connections as LaCie recommended, but I get the same poor results using USB, DVDs, CDs.
I have tried to use Disk Utility to burn a disk image on a blank DVD on the LaCie drive, but that does not work either.
Although I can manage to write DVDs using Toast, so my main requirement has been met, it is unsatisfactory to have bought new equipment directly from the manufacturer only to find that the claimed features do not all work.
Have I just been wasting my time expecting this drive to work as LaCie claimed with OSX 10.3.9?
I see other users have had trouble with LaCie even with OSX more recent than 10.3.9.
See:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3306858?start=0&tstart=0
I recently purchased an LaCie DVD writer d2 DVD + / - 22.
and
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/445220?start=0&tstart=0
LaCie DVD burner total waste of money
So I am still asking
"Has anyone with OSX 10.3.9 got LaCie 22x d2 DVD +/-RW Drive to write DVDs from the Finder?"

Thanks for helpful reply.
"If that fails, check with them if they can get you at least a Roxio Toast Lite version that works with it."
Not really necessary as I CAN already use TOAST as stated below, as in original post.
"It does write DVDs from Toast7 Basic, included on the DVD-ROM sent with the Drive, but it will not write DVDs from the Finder."
"Have you tried http://www.patchburn.de/"?
Not yet, but that looks good.
They even have a version which could work with our other Apple - G4 iMac on OSX 10.2.8 - which would be very convenient.
"http://www.macsales.com/ is much more reliable in terms of selling burners worldwide that work with any version of Mac OS X."
Perhaps.
But their web site includes the identical LaCie DVD Writer, with just the usual claims about OK for OSX 10.3.9.
No specialwarnings or restrictions mentioned.

Thanks again for your help.
