DVD  Burning Freezes @ writing the lead out !

Has anyone experienced this? I burn disc all the time with no problem i have used all types of media, Apple disc are the best. but now it freeze at the lead out in DVDSP, Can any one help?

I can't help, but want to add my thoughts: mine used to work fine, now, when I get to the end, I get error messages; I've tried both native burning to the G5 and Toast. Since this is your thread, I'm going to post a separate one, so as not to detract from those who may know your specific difficulty, but boy they sound alike and I wanted to just say -- it's seems to be not exactly an uncommon problem. These are my error messages, I'm curious if they are the same as yours:
Toast:
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = ILLEGAL REQUEST
Sense Code = 0x72, 0x03
SESSION FIXATION ERROR - INCOMPLETE TRACK IN SESSION
G5:
This disc did not verify correctly and is unreliable. Because this disc is unreliable, discard it and try again using a new, blank disc. (Error code 0x80020063)

  • DVD burner freezing at 5% complete

    I have PSE9, and have used it many times to store video on discs. However this project won't save (share). I have completed the project and it's all set to burn to a disc. It goes through the normal rendering process (usually takes about 90 mins) and then switches to the DVD burn screen, where it freezes at 5%. Have tried multiple times, and it always stops at 5%. Have left overnight, and still shows 5% in the morning, so system seems to be freezing. It's a 90 minute clip (in total), going onto a 4.7gb dvd. All info I have is the disc should take up to 120 mins of SD video (which this is). There are no error messages showing, and I have no idea where to start looking to see what the issue might be. Any ideas? I have also tried saving to a flash drive. This took almost 2 hours to render but did save, although when played on the TV 'fast movement' is jerky.

    "The problem therefore seems to be with 8.0.1. What is the best way to do a fresh install of Itunes 8.0.1 and do you think that this would rectify the problem."
    Before going through all that try the following:
    Open up a new account & try to burn through iTunes.
    Check your iTunes burning preferences and/or settings.
    Cross-Post over on one of the iTunes for Mac Forums where the iTune users hang out for some fresh ideas.

  • BluRay Burner and DVD Burner will access the disk and then disappear and then access the disk again constantly.

    Hi, I have a Dell system maxed out.  I have both a DVD Burner and a BluRay Burner drive in the system.  I just had to replace the fan on the CPU as the plastic that would hold it onto the mother board broke.  I have a 120GB SSD as my main
    and a 600GB 10,000 RPM drive as my secondary drive.  Because I did not realize the Fan was the problem keeping the system from booting up all the way. Which never had any problems before I had to put the system into storage when I retired from the Air
    Force last year.  So any ways I rebuilt the system back with Windows 7 Ultimate.  Everything was working fine.  So I started installing all my other programs.  Over the next several days I did not notice any problems.  Until I went
    to play one of my games that requires a Disk to be in the drive to verify it was a OEM disk.  When I went to play I noticed the game kept asking for the disk even though the disk was already in the drive.  Went to my System display and noticed that
    the disk would show up for a few seconds and then disappear and then the drive would access the disk again and then disappear.  This keeps happening in both my drives.  I have read though the forums and this is not anything to do with the disk drive
    disappearing that I see all over the forums.  Also, when I start the computer up from the DVD or BluRay drive it starts up with no problems.  So it is not anything to do with the hardware. I believe this is something to do with some software I may
    have installed or something, but I don't believe it is hardware.  Now I see that it has duplicated my Two optical media drives.  If I can't get someone to help me fix this, I may have to go through the process and re-install the system and my other
    software to see if that fixes the problem.  Like I said I have never had this problem before.
    Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas.

    If the paste wasn't changed it will lead to heating problems, something that will show in different ways all the time, but thsi isn't the issue here.
    Could it bee that you accidentally moved the cables to the drive on the motherboard when you changed the fan? Make sure it's correctly connected in both ends.
    It could also be that the drivers for the SATA-controller needs to be updated, try and download the latest ones from the manufacturers webpage.

  • IMac DVD Burning Freeze - How to exit when stuck in ¨finishing burning...

    I just bought this brand new iMac (dec. 18) and EVERYTIME I try to burn data on a DVD (small file of less than 30Mb!) with Finder, the writting action takes less than 30 sec, but then the process is permanently stuck in the last ¨finishing burning...¨ step. Everytime, I need to manually reset (holding the power key for 6 sec!) to end this endless process loop. The funny thing is that when the iMac reboot, the DVD is prefectly OK and all data has been burn OK.
    I have the same kind of problem in iDVD. I tried to burn a very small (6 pictures only) DVD. The burning process went as planned, but the last step just never ended. After 30 min. I need to abort the process. As with ¨burning with finder¨, the DVD was however 100% correctly burnt.
    So, it means that I can burn DVD, but I need to force a reset of the iMAC or succeed to abort the last step of burning for every DVD I burn. Strange and annoying!
    Any body saw this problem? Could it be a Media type problem (cheap DVD brand)?

  • DVD burning - Can't figure this out

    I've exported my 35 minute sequence to compressor then to DVDSP and the resulting DVD is poor:  colors are off, shakes and jiggles in my stills, video cuts out momentarily in spots, interlacing on some clips.   My settings and workflow are as follows:
    Sequence Settings:
    Pixel Aspect Ratio (HD (1440x1080).   Anomorphic 16:9 is UNchecked
    Field Dominance:  Upper (Odd)
    Editing Timebase:  29.97
    Quicktime Video Settings . Compressor: HDV 1080i60
    Audio:  48kHz
    Depth: 16 bit
    Video Processing: Render in 8-bit YUV
    The media used for the sequence includes HDV, stills, Pro Res LT. 
    Also, I have used some Magic Bullets Looks filters
    I use File > Export > Quicktime Movie
    Make Movie Self-Contained is checked
    Recompress All Frames is unchecked
    Setting:  Current Settings
    In Compressor, I'm using DVD Best Quality 90 Minutes
    I have NOT tweaked the Video Fromat or Quality settings in the inspector tab. These settings are as follows:
    Video Format: Automatic
    Frame Rate:  Automatic
    Aspect Ratio:  16:9
    Field Dominance:  Automatic
    Average Bit Rate is 6.2mpbs
    Maximum Bit Rate is 7.7Mbps

    Output Fields:  Same as source
    Deinterlace:  Fast (Line averaging)
    Anti-alias:  0
    Details Level:  0
    Rate Conversion:  Fast (Nearest Frame)
    Any suggestions as to how I can improve the qualithy of my outcome?  I'm inexperienced with FCP and DVDSP.  A lot of this stuff is just too complicated for me.  All I want is a good quality DVD that doesn't look like crap.  What am I doing wrong?  thx

    Try this
    1. Set your sequence (timeline) compressor to ProRes @ 1920x1080 square pixel
    2. Convert your HDV material to ProRes @ 1920x1080 square pixel. All your video material should be the same format.
    2a. Make sure your stills are smaller than 4000 pixels in any dimension. It is best if they are no larger than they need to be. You DO NOT want to scale up still images.
    3. Edit your material
    4. Output a self contained file using "current settings"
    5. Use Compressor to create your m2v and ac3 files for the DVD. If the program length is less than an hour, use a CBR (constant bit rate) conversion at 6 to 7 mbs. 7 mbs may cause some older players to choke.
    6. Bring the compressed video and audio files into DVD, build and burn your DVD.

  • IDVD 09' Freezes when writing lead-out.

    Everything seems to work fine until it gets to "writing lead-out" it then seems to freeze up, after about 15-20 minutes it will eject my dvd disc, the screen stays the same as if it's still writing the lead-out. When i play back the dvd disc it stops playing about 1 minute into the movie. but if i play the copy on my hard drive (the one i'm trying to burn to disc) it works fine. Any ideas?

    Hi DJHYPE
    Welcome to apple discussions. Sorry to hear you are having troubles burning to Dvd-R.
    Suggestion: Let's narrow things down a bit. Try burning a disc image first to the desktop. You can do that from the file menu within iDvd. Next I'd like you to test the disc image with apple's dvd player app. Assuming it plays as expected, then burn to Verbatim, Maxell, or Tiaiyo Yuden at 4x. Please avoid Memorex while trobleshooting. Thereafter / once we have the issue resolved, feel free to burn to whatever media works best for you and your mac.

    Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

  • Writing lead-out problem ...?

    Howdy All,
    I am using iDVD6 to burn a project to RIDATA DVD+R DL discs. The burn in iDVD6 90% of the time fails at the end (no error logs). However, after playing the DVD on a number of players (computer and dedicated) the DVD seems to be fine (all aspects - movie, slides, finish etc).
    A hint at the problem may be that when I use Toast to burn data to the same discs it fails at writing the "Lead-Out" with Mac OS Error -5001. Searching the Internet hasn't really told me much about either of those (Lead-Out) or Mac OS Error -5001.
    Burns have worked fine on the Samsung TSSTcorp CD/DVDW SH-S182D DVD Burner before, with other media (Imation DVD+R DL). However, writing the lead-out also failed on an Imation disc when retrying it after it failed on a RIDATA disc. DVD burns the Imation succeed.
    Would anyone have any idea of what is happening? Can I just ignore the problem? Is there any easy way I can do a bitwise compare of the DVD and, say, a disk image? Does iDVD do a verify of the burn (although having it tell me the burn failed isn't a good sign if it does)?
    If this is a media issue, which I assume it is (although the Imation failing is a problem), what has it go to do with writing the lead-out?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions, experience, comments.
    Cheers,
    Ashley Aitken.

    Hi Klaus,
    Thanks for that, I kind-of guessed what "lead out" was about but thanks for giving all the details.
    You don't provide any information on what Mac you
    have, what OS, how much RAM (example: see my profile
    at the bottom of this post), which would help a lot
    in diagnosing your problem.
    Power Mac G5 - original single CPU model (can't recall the speed) with 2GB RAM etc.
    New Samsung DVD Burner (as indicated in previous post), original drive didn't burn dual layer disks.
    I've since found that my "backup" with Toast (spanning multiple DVD+R DLs) that failed the Lead Out actually bit-compares with the original.
    As the DVDs which failed also seem to work fine in DVD players and on the computer, I wonder if this is really a significant error.
    Many here find that Verbatim DVD-R, as well as Fuji
    DVD-R, give the fewest problems, even more so when
    they are burned at only 2x or 4x.
    Thanks that info - its unfortunate we have to burn at slower speeds than the drive is rated - kind of beats the purpose ...
    I've previously had pretty good results with Imation DVD+R DL but wanted something that was inkjet printable (DL).
    I could only find RiData locally. I now know that they are though of as second tier media, so perhaps the media is the problem.
    Cheers,
    Ashley.

  • IDVD (and Toast) never complete writing lead-outs

    Hi,
    I've noticed occasionally that when using Toast 7 and iDVD 6 that during the writing process, the application in question persists on writing the lead-out. I understand what the correlation between lead-out and DVD playing length are. However, the drive just spins and spins for hours if left to do so. It is a Pioneer DVR-109 (not Apple blessed). The media is Memorex DVD-R 16x and I frankly haven't spent time trying other media yet.
    I'm unable to halt the spinning by any means other than rebooting the computer. Usually, the result is fine. Sometimes the DVD doesn't conclude viewing properly.
    Any thoughts? Thanks!

    Yup, the Memorex disks have been a bit problematic. I was able to burn to an image with iDVD.
    I happened to have some TEON DVD-R 8x media a friend gave for another project, and that worked fine. The Memorex 16x media burned at 8x had the same issue.
    I had had poor experiences with Verbatim media in the past. But co-workers have raved about the DL disks and the single-layer ones lately. Perhaps I will give them a try.
    Thanks!

  • Writing Lead-out

    "Writing lead-out" seems to take forever - ten minutes anyway. Why? Is there a way to speed this up? I had a two minute DVD that I can burn quickly but then writing lead-out goes on and on.
    Thanks

    and it will go on and on.
    What is surprising, is that the longer the DVD, the shorter the write out.
    But writing the lead out on really short DVDs takes a bunch of time. No way to speed it up.
    best wishes

  • Writing Lead-out takes forever

    Well, this did not use to happen but now whenever I try to burn a DVD in my MBP using Toast Titanium 7 - data or video DVD, about 4G worth of material - the programme takes forever to write the lead out. Also, the burning itself is very slow (I'm not talking compressing here. Just burning). I've tried different brands (the same brands I've been using for ages) - Sony, Maxell, Benq - but it's been slow with all of them.
    I don't think this is an issue with Toast since I can burn DVDs as usual using Toast in my good ol' iMac.
    Has anyone experienced something similar? Does anyone know what's happening?
    TIA
    Dan

    I have been having the same problems with the lead-out, but it is inconsistent. It took forever for me to finish a burn in DVD Studio Pro, then I used popcorn to rip a couple of copies of it and the first copy burned as usual, the second took for bloody ever to finish out. Not sure what the deal is. I never had this problem with my 2.16 MBP CoreDuo, they are new to my Core2Duo machine. This was not the first DVD burning I have done, but the first time I have encountered the problem. Had burned from iTunes and Popcorn previously without problems over the past week. Not sure what the problem is, but if anyone figures it out, I would love to know!

  • Writing lead out lasts forever

    I have a 2.5 minute movie from Fianl Cut Express, that encodes and burns quickly, then takes 15-17 minutes to "write the lead out."
    Is that normal?

    The important question is, does it burn correctly despite how long it takes?
    If so, don't worry about the length. I have burned movies that were totally video only, about 1hr 50min that took over 24 hours to encode and burn. And, I have burned movies that were mostly photos and a few video clips to a total of say 25min. and it took about 10 hours to encode and burn. I think my system is less powerful than yours, but if you get a successful burn however you do it, that is the goal!

  • Long Lead Out Times!!!!! Help

    Anyone know how to cut down on writing lead-out times with dvd-studio pro 4
    Took about 7 min for a 30 sec clip

    The reason that the shorter the clip is, the longer the lead out is because of what I posted earlier. The dvd spec requires a gig minimum of data/content. Not all burners/burning applications will hold true to that spec, so some might not experience the longer lead out times (which is the burning application adding dummy padding data to fill the gig up). If you are using media, then that type is 'approved' by the dvd consortium; and typically is the type of media that will result in the long lead out times (complying to spec). Depending on the speed of the media and burner, 7 minutes would be about right for 1 gig (since the 30 sec clip wouldn't take up much by itself).
    If you use media (not 'officially approved by the dvd forum), then it's basically looked at as a data disc, and generally don't end up having the padding data added on; and hence they burn quicker.
