DVD - Fails After Burn

Please help,
I have tried two DVDr's now and the same problem.
I have put together a dvd with slideshows created in idvd, added music from itunes to the 4 chapters, plus the main title screen.
The project info is as follows.
3.8mb of 4.7, so there is enough free space.
However when the burn has done, we pop the finished disk in the DVD, title screen works fine, menu / chapter works fine, but the disk then fails in the same place in each of the slideshows ( About 15 minutes in )
I have used Sony DVDr's 16x and Maxwell DVDr's 16x.
Any help would be gratefully received as we have family waiting for this disk back in the U.K and U.S.
Thanks.

To add the music within iPhoto, create a playlist of the songs you wish to use. Then select _that playlist_, not the individual titles, for your slideshow.
To add music within iMovie, follow the directions from Help:
*Adding music from your iTunes library*
You can give your movie a musical soundtrack by importing music from your iTunes library.
To import music from iTunes:
1. Click the Timeline Viewer button.
2. Drag the playhead (B, shown above) to the frame where you want the music track to begin.
Tip: To precisely adjust the playhead position, press the Left or Right Arrow key to move the playhead one frame at a time. To move the playhead in ten-frame increments, hold down the Shift key while pressing the arrow key.
3. Click the Media button, and then click Audio.
4. Choose your iTunes library or a playlist at the top of the Audio pane.
5. Select a song from the list.
Tip: You can also search for a song by typing text in the search field. As you type, songs that contain the text you entered appear in the Audio pane. To see all songs again, click the Reset button (an "x" in the search field).
6. If you want, click the Play button to the left of the search field to listen to the song you selected.
7. Click "Place at Playhead."
The song appears as an audio clip in the timeline viewer.
If you want to lock the track to a particular part of the video, choose Advanced > "Lock Audio Clip at Playhead." When you move a video clip with locked audio, the audio clip moves with the video.
You can also adjust the volume of an audio clip, change its length, and more. For more information, see Related Topics below.

  • DVD blurry after burning

    I am new to Premiere Elements and I have a JVC HD video camera.  The video quality after burning seems like the digital is shakey when moving but on PC its good?

    I am not really sure the answer to your questions but here is what I did.  I uploaded video
    to my PC from the video camera and I can view the video in the Adobe Elements however,
    after I burn to DVD or view in Premier elements it is grainy and seems to be unstable with
    movement.  It seems better when I view the video on the DVD on the computer when I make the screen smaller.
    The only setting I changed was when it asked while burning the dvd on the quality to fit it to the DVD or better quality and I chose the top quality?

  • DVDs failing to burn

    Hello all,
    I want to say first that I'm not an inexperienced mac OS X user. Been using it for some time and I'm usually good at figuring out problems.  I am a video editor, so burning DVDs and making DVDs is something I do very often.
    The issue I'm having is my computer is simply refusing to make any DVDs.  I have absolutely no clue why it is doing this or what caused it.  It is even failing to create a .dmg of the DVD I make.  I have tried Compressor and Burn to create DVDs.  I have never had issues with either in the past. 
    I am posting this in this section because my suspicion is maybe it is a corrupt DVD burn driver?
    Any help on maybe how to fix this would be wonderful.  I have already repaired disk permissions with disk utility, and no luck.

    Hello phudgedesign
    Welcome to apple discussions. It's only necessary to post the first and last 20 lines of the error report. So for future reference please avoid posting the entire report to this iDvd forum.
    My guess after reading the above report is that you may be having issues with at least one (and possibly multiple) external device/s currently connected to your mac. Can you tell us more about any 3rd party external devices you may have connected to this mac? How did you connect them? Were they formatted properly for your computer? We'll also need to know if you are using firewire connections and cables or any USB2 devices and cables (or both).
    How much available HDD space is remaining on the boot volume? Are any of iDvd's assets located on external devices (yes /no)? If so, have you tried moving these assets recently? That is have you made them available to iDvd from the boot volume and thereafter properly ejecting and unplugging any 3rd party devices that may be conflicting with the app?

  • Optical drive cannot read DVD-RW after burning?

    All of a sudden my built-in optical drive (Matshita UJ-857) appears to have lost the ability to mount burned DVD-RWs. I'm using Sony 1-2x media which burn & verify successfully. Following the burn, the DVD-RWs show up on the Desktop and can be browsed in Finder. However, once ejected, the drive cannot mount them again - they spin up for around 30 seconds before being ejected.
    Other media (DVD, DVD-R, DVD+R, CD, CD-R & CD-RW) work fine; DVD+RW requires 2~3 inserts before it mounts. I've done PRAM & PMU reset, same results. Is my drive failing?

    I can view the same disk/photos on my old L300
    There are any number of special so-called packet writing programs which create discs readable only by the same program. If you use the built-in DVD burning for Windows Vista (especially with Mastered format), that problem would not occur.
       Burn a CD or DVD
    So you should either reburn the DVDs using the Vista machine or copy the pictures to the new machine (probably over your network) and burn new DVDs from there.
    When you post here, always tell us the full model designation of your computers. Which Satellite Pro L330? Which Satellite Pro C660? That way we can look up what your machines look like.

  • DVD error after burning Video DVDs

    Hello anyone,
    I am using my T500 with WinXP SP2 as an mobile editing system. Unfortunately I experienced some problems burning Video DVDs on the installed HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-U20N drive. Eventhough the final DVDs work sofar on all PCs and Apple systems that I have tested but they don't work on some standalone DVD Players. The same disc image, burned on a different PC produces correct DVDs though. I update the drive's firmware but no difference, lowered the speed again no difference. Used NERO 6 and cloneDVD same poor result.
    Would appreciate help
    thanks in advance

    when you say different PC, did you burn it in a PC dvd burner or a laptop dvd burner??? Have you tried to change the brand of the dvd burnable to see whether it might solve the problem??

  • DVD does not play back on all computers and DVD players after burning

    I have built and formatted a dvd using dsp but it will not playback on laptops even though it works fine on dvd players macs, and pcs. On some laptops there is no sound others just crash. Is this a problem with the laptops or how i have formatted the dvd?

    suggestion 1
    If you are trying to playback on a PC laptop running windows:
    Do not use Windows Media Player to play back the DVD, it wont work, it is not a DVD player.
    Use the software supplied with the DVD drive such as Win DVD or Power DVD.
    suggestion 2
    The disc format is incompatible with the DVD drive:
    If the disc you created is a DVD-R and you play on a DVD+R drive, or a DVD+R disc played in a DVD-R drive then the disc will not play.
    suggestion 3
    the drive is a CD drive not a DVD drive

  • DVD skipping after burning

    Hello,
    Would someone be so kind as to look at this thread and give me your suggestions?
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2028906&tstart=0
    Thank you.

    It sure sounds like faulty media to me. Although Philips can churn out some rubbish at times. Like my home cinema system and HDD recorder both of which have been absolutely useless. I would not buy Philips again if I can help it. If your Disc Image is working fine then it is obviously between the media or the actual drive. Something is going wrong in the burning process. From what you have said it sounds much more like a media fault than a hardware fault. Verbatim media is generally very well respected and reliable but there can always be exceptions.

  • HP Envy M6 Recovery DVD fail after First Disc.

    Hello Fellow Members and Support
    What I have done so far:
    - I have purchased and installed a new Harddrive for my HP Envy M6-1184ca Laptop.
    - I have run the Harddrive diagnosics test wizard to verify it has been installed correctly. 
    - I have set the bios to default settings. 
    -  I Purchased The recovery DVD pack from HP.
    -  I have inserted DVD disc  1 of the Windows 8 64 bit Recovery DVD Set.
    The Situation:
    I have booted up the Laptop and hit esc until the boot menu appeared with the option  to press F9 then select to boot from internal UEFI DVD Boot media. 
    Then I Press any key to boot from cd / DVD and see the HP logo. I am prompted with a Black installation to select english or french. I select English and select next. The computer runs through the following:
    - Reformatting the Windows partition of the harddrive
    - Copying files required to restore the harddrive
    - Restoring files to the hard drive.
    Then the DVD gets ejected and the laptop screen goes black and the laptop is not off.
    What is next?
    I have not touched it until I hear back from support here.

    Hi @escherzi ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY m6-1184ca Notebook and not able to install the CD/DVD recovery discs.  Here is a link that might help. The section you need is disabling Secure Boot.

  • MacBook Pro burn DVD failed even after installing Leopard 10.5.2

    Ever since upgrading from Tiger to Leopard my 17in MacBook Pro has failed to burn DVDs.
    It managed to burn a couple discs after the upgrade, but soon proceeded to give various error messages whenever I have attempted to burn a DVD. The most common error is:
    +Burning the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed. (Error code 0x80020022)+
    This is when using "Burn folders" to write large folders/files onto DVD (+3gig). It always fails about halfway through the disc, so if I write smaller folders it will often complete successfully. CD-Rs generally burn fine too.
    I have tried various media and burning apps to no avail.
    *I was hoping Leopard Update 10.5.2 would fix this issue, but alas it has not!*
    Before I installed the update I had also unsuccessfully tried various solutions offered in this forum, such as resetting the PRAM and creating a new user account.
    I would greatly appreciate anyone's insights, solutions or plan of action to resolve this issue. This is my first Mac (a rather expensive investment here in South Africa) and it has been awesome using it up until this point!

  • Burning DVDs fail at about 1min left using Matshita UJ-825

    Hey everyone,
    I tried to find a solution for this problem in the other threads, but none helped me at all. So here's my problem:

    I used to burn DVDs normally after I bought it 1,5 year ago. But in the past 4 months, I can't burn them no longer. I've tried 5 different brands and had the same problem. Either if I am using iTunes or Finder or Toast 7, my iMac always spit the DVD when it's about to finish burning the disc, at 5 to 1min left.
    In iTunes I get a message saying that the disc failed to burn and if I try to insert the disc after, it will never mount on the desktop.
    When using Toast, I get a message saying it's a MEDIUM ERROR and then it spits the DVD.
    The last DVD brand I bought was HP, and I sucessfully burned around 10 DVDs after it started to happen again, just like the other brands I was using. No matter what speed I use, I always get the same error messages at about 5min to finish burning the DVDs. CDs will burn fine, and it reads all other DVDs (including the ones I sucessfully burned in the past).
    What can be happening?
    Thanks
    Tadeu

    Yes, I repaired the permissions today. But how do I clean the drive?
    Thanks

  • DVD DL fail to burn AND Firewire 400/800 problems

    I have had several months of intermittent DVD burn fails. Most recently today burning from the finder and it is now reporting "The disc can’t be burned because because communication between the computer and the disc drive failed (error code 0x80020022)."
    That error is new, previously it was always
    Sense Key - Hardware Error
    Sense Code - 0x03
    The first time this cropped up was on 10.5.x and when I reported it to apple they had me take it to get the drive replaced since it was still covered by applecare.
    After the DVD replacement and while still in the shop it burned a few DVD DLs ok. A few weeks later the same 0x03 errors. (it always burns CDs just fine)
    After another phone conversation with applecare, they now suggest that the logic board needs to be replaced. (This was after I mentioned I frequently have problems with Firewire 400 or 800 external drives showing up...sometimes they work sometimes they don't. The same drives always show up when connected via USB)
    I was walked through resetting the PRAM, which cleared up the Firewire 400/800 temporarily, but it did not help the DVD burn problem.
    So on the eve before the appointment, this crazy MBP (2,2, 2.33 ghz) burns a DVD DL after blowing compressed air thru the DVD slot. But the second DVD DL fails to burn with the ""The disc can’t be burned because because communication between the computer and the disc drive failed (error code 0x80020022)."
    I was hoping that the upgrade to 10.6.x would solve both issues, but not so much.
    Anyone else with the DVD DL problem experiencing FW problems?

    The problems with some external FW burners under SL are fairly common, Robert. With some earlier drives (like my Pioneer 109 in an external box) often one can't even "see" the drive at all (though the bridge in the external box will show up under System Profiler) through FW, though it works fine under USB. With some later ones things like PRAM resets, or simply disconnecting and reconnecting the drive, will get them working. See http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10070281 or some discussion of these issues and possible "workarounds".
    As far as the general disc burning issue goes, other things that are worth considering include problems with a "fullish" hard drive with fragmented free space, and the actual media being used. What brands of DVD have you tried?
    DL discs, generally seem much more finicky about dust and dirt than single layer when it comes to burning (and , of course, need much more free HD space) . Will it burn a single layer DVD or a CD without problems?
    Cheers
    Rod

  • IMac shuts down after burning DVDs.

    Brand new aluminum iMac 20" with Tiger 10.4.11 installed. We've found that after burning a DVD(-R) the iMac just shuts off - bizarre.
    Any ideas why this is happening? Fix?

    That's interesting, so it's not a heat problem then. So do just a few of us have defective iMac burners, or does everyone? Friends of mine who use Mac laptops for processing similar files to me, have not had this problem of mid-burn shutdown, nor has a friend in UK on a pre-Intel iMac and 10.4.9. I tried several different brands of CDs and DVDs including TDK, Verbatim Data-life Plus (usually very reliable), and DataStream. All failed equally. So far the external LaCie burner is working well and is a work around for the problem. Why was it that only the aif files failed for me? You would think if there was a Mac problem then we would all have the same thing happening?

  • Macbook Pro disc drive failing to burn DVD-R.

    I am using a 2007, 17" Macbook Pro with 10.6.8. My drive information in System Profiler reads as follows:
    MATSHITA DVD-R   UJ-85J:
      Firmware Revision:          FBZ8
      Interconnect:          ATAPI
      Burn Support:          Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)

      Media:          To show the available burn speeds, insert a disc and choose View > Refresh
    I am trying to burn an .mp4 video to a DVD in order to test the disc for playback. When I insert the disc, it appears first in the Finder as a blank DVD. I click and drag the video to the DVD and hit "Burn." What follows is an error message:
    "'Untitled DVD'" can't be burned because the disck is read-only and can't be modified (error code 0x80020042)."
    After that, the disc ejects, and I am back at square one.
    I have looked online for similar cases and suggested solutions, but nothing has worked yet. I have verified and repaired my disk permissions via Disk Utility, tried to burn multiple times with different, fresh DVD-Rs, purchased brand new DVD-Rs, and even tried changing the permissions manually via the "Info" panel.
    I do not have iDVD or any other third party DVD burning software. In the past, I used iDVD and these very same DVD-Rs to burn a number of student films for playback. At that time, the process was very simple and worked as one might expect it to.
    I am wondering if I should just get iDVD or another third party software, but I am reluctant to, because I would think that the OS' built-in burning capability ought to work just as well. Of course, I could easily be mistaken.
    Please help. Thank you.

    Some clarification:
    I am not trying to burn a data disc. If that is what I just described, I was unaware that I was attempting to burn a data disc. I am trying to burn a video DVD for playback on a DVD player. If you or anyone here are trying to tell me that I cannot burn a video DVD by performing the process I described, then I will continue to attempt to use the third party software I downloaded instead.
    Further clarification:
    The problem does not appear to be with the discs. I began testing this issue using Memorex DVD-Rs that I already own. Until today, I had barely touched the stack. However, because it was technically possible that I was using several coasters that I had forgotten about, I went out and bought some additional DVD-Rs - the Verbatims. It is highly unlikely that both the Memorex stack I already owned and the Verbatim discs I just purchased are both duds. I know for a fact that the Memorex discs should work because I have several archived DVD videos on the very same discs.
    The real problem appears to be with the drive and how it is reading the discs. For some reason, it is recognizing them as "read-only" and/or not blank, as System Profiler has shown:
      Media:
      Type:          DVD-R
      ID:          CMC MAG. AM3
      Blank:          No
      Erasable:          No
      Overwritable:          No
      Appendable:          Yes
      Write Speeds:          2x, 4x, 8x
    I have attempted to Repair Disk Permissions twice - that has not solved the issue. I am going to attempt an SMC reset next, and if that fails, I will attempt to Repair Disk via the install DVD. Failing all of those options, I guess I'm going to have to visit a Genius Bar.
    Thank you all again. Please try to stay with me as I continue handling this issue, as I will provide updates.
