DVD fine in preview, freezes on all players.

I made a simple DVD. It has a main menu that I added music to and two video files on it (both saved as DV files on my computer). When I watch the preview, everything works perfectly. However after I burn the disk (I've tried on a couple disks, at different times), it always freezes at the same point near the end of the second clip. The audio from the movie keeps going, but the video does not. I don't get why the video would stop but the music go, when they are both on the same DV file on the DVD.
I read through the forums and saw a lot of people mention what DVDs to use. The ones I've burned are on 4X Fujifilm DVD+R's, if that matters. If anyone has any idea how to fix this, the help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The ones I've burned are on 4X Fujifilm DVD+R's,
The most compatible with DVD players is DVD-R.
I recommend a disk image burned to Verbatim DVD-R at 4X or slower using Toast or Disk Utility.
David Pogue also recommends Verbatim on page 356 of his latest book:
iMovie HD & iDVD 6: The Missing Manual
Quoting David: "Cheaper brands don't use the same amount of organic dyes and are more likely to suffer premature deaths."
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save As Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

DVD-R won't run on all players

I created a slide show with elements 11 and burned a dvd. The dvd worked fine on our DVD player but not on a few others that we tried. Is there a solution that would allow the DVD to run on all machines?

Since you can't make a video DVD in PSE, the question is how you finalized the disc? Did you use Premiere Elements? If so, you would probably do better to ask in the PRE forum, which is where the video boffins hang out:

Pdfs print fine with preview, not at all with adobe reader

this is a relatively new issue that popped up sometime in the last month or so. when i try to print any pdf document with adobe reader, to my HP laserjet P1505, i get the following error:
/usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstoraster failed
if i open up the same document with preview, it prints fine. i updated my printer software, and reinstalled adobe reader with no change. what gives?

here's what popped up in that log just now when the print failed:
thanks for looking at this!

Video looks fine in preview... goes mosaic, loses audio on DVD????

I have 3 and 1/2 hours of video edited in FCP and burned on a dual-layer DVD with iDVD. The video looked good in FCP and looked fine in preview in iDVD. The DVD burned without any pop-up warnings of problems, BUT when I put it in to check it, it goes bad about 40 minutes from the end. The picture goes mosaic (it looks like a satellite picture losing signal - sorry I don't know the exact technical term) and the audio completely disappears. On the menu page if I forward to the last chapter the counter (minutes) keeps counting away but we never leave the menu page and I can't move to other chapters.
There aren't any edits or transitions where the video goes bad. I've tried re-saving to QT and reburning with the same problem in the same place. Anybody have any ideas on what's causing this and how I resolve it?

Hi
Just thinking. Can iDVD 5 handle DL-DVDs OK ?
I would.
• Use iDVD'09
• Pro-encoding Quality
• from FCP - Export out as QT.mov file, NOT Selfcontained, NO QT-conversion.
• Low free space on internal boot hard disk gives all kind of strange resulst
My mimimum 25GB for 4x3 SD video and x5 for 16x9 HD
I use
• Verbatim DVD-R
• DVD-R
• burn speed set down to x1

G50-70: empty DVD-drive clicking and freezing other drives for about 30 seconds all the time

Hello board. Big problem. Seem to be the only one having this after searching the board:
Brand new G50-70: When using OS from the SSD or using OS from the SSD and doing things with a USB-drive, the empty internal DVD-drive making clicking sound and sometimes freezing SSD read/write operation for about 30 seconds but all the time freezing USB-storage read/write operation for about 30 seconds.
When freezing there's always clicking. But when clicking there's not always freezing except when using USB-storage.
OS is Win81-64.
An example scenario: connect USB stick, open terminal, type diskpart, dvd-drive clicks and freezes opening of diskpart for about 30 seconds, then the same may or may not happen when entering commands like clear the stick and format the stick.
Any clues, why I have this issue? Thank you very much for reading.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi georg43,
it's possible that there's a software running on startup that's accessing the ODD when the machine is being used (especially if the ODD LED blinks when it's being accessed)..
To check, you can perform a clean boot to temporarily disable apps & services running on startup. If the machine functions properly on a clean boot, you will need to enable the startup services/programs that you have disabled in groups of two or three (trial and error) to find the culprit. You can start by enabling the lenovo services and apps first followed by the Intel ones and observe.
In addition, you can also try to disable the DVD-drive under device manager and observe.

How can i improve burning quality of dvd.looks fine in preview on idvd,but final burn quality is poor/

how can i improve burning quality of dvd.looks fine in preview on idvd,but final burn quality is poor.

Had same problem with iPhoto pictures and poor burn quality. Went back to original picture file and dragged images into idvd project from there. Set encoding at professional quality and burned at slowest speed. Got very good result with high quality slideshow when played on TV.
Also tried Old Toad's Aug 30, 2011 advice to get a slideshow into iDVD with transitions, music, etc. from iPhoto.
Again the quaility of the burned CD was very good.

Preview freeze and not working fine on PDF view (building plans)

Imac 27" 5k i7 32GB Osx 10.10.1
When opening a PDF in preview (mostly building plans) some lines are not viewable. When enlarging the pdf and every time i'm scrolling preview freeze for a 30".
(in quick view (mail) the hole PDF is perfect viewable but not scaleable)
Also secured PDF could not be enlarged.
This al worked perfect on Mavericks on my other Imac 27" i7 16GB (mid 2011) 10.9 before upgrading to 10.10 (now it have de same problems as my brand new 5k)
I hope apple coms whit an solution quickly.

Firewall issues were preventing this problem.

DVD menu background not working in some players only

I put together a DVD in DVDSP 3 which works fine on most players. However on some players the menu backgrounds are grey instead of the graphic that should be there, and the buttons all say "Introduction" instead of having the proper titles. The first Main Menu looks fine and works properly. But the other menus don't show the background images at all.
I've tried using JPG, TIF and MPEG-2 files for the backgrounds on those menus, but none of those file formats works. The buttons all function properly and go to the correct targets, but the button text is the same wrong text on all the buttons. Also, the transitions work fine. And the tracks all play fine. It's just the non-Main menus that have the problem, and only on some DVD Players.
The specific players that have the problem are the Sony DVP-NS55P and the Philips DVP3140, both set top players.
Has anyone seen this type of behavior? And fixed it?

I have a similar problem. When I create a movie background and test in the simulator, the movie doesn't play and I get the grey screen with all the buttons and menus. The DVD created only plays the movie background only after you click a button and it tries to move on to the next track. I have never had a problem before.

Flash preview freezes

Greetings All. I'm using a 64-bit windows 7 machine.
This problem just crept up within the past 2 weeks. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash to no avail. The problem is the same in both Firefox and IE9.
Anyway, let's say I have multiple pop-up chat sessions going that use flash. So when you hover the mouse over the firefox icon on the taskbar it shows the preview windows of all the pop-up chat sessions and it shows the chats flowing in real-time as it should. However, if I move the mouse to hover over one of the pop-up chats that is currently one of the background chats (i.e. isn't the one on top) the pop-up chat will come to the top of all the other chat sessions as it should but the animation will freeze in the pop-up chat window but it still moves/works in the preview. That is, the little preview window that shows all of the firefox pop-up sessions will continue to animate and work as normal (including the one I'm currently hovering over with the mouse) but the main window that's not "on top" of the other firefox browsers freezes. Basically the little previews work and animate fine but the window I'm hovering over freezes. As soon as I left click on it and "bring it to the top" it operates fine as do any background sessions. It's only when I'm hovering over the preview that main window freezes up until I click on it. I hope this makes sense.
Anyone have any ideas? Is there some kind of setting I should look at. The machine is only a little over a year old with a AMD Athlon II X2 235e 2.7ghz and 6Gig of RAM.

Help - site uploaded has horrible errors, fine in preview

I just uploaded authorizedagents.com. I exported html from muse and uploaded via ftp. Looked great in preview but now a total mess and I am in trouble. Can't figure out what is wrong since it looks all fine in preview. Also tells me something that muse menu has error when opening up site.

When the result of Preview Site in Browser looks fine, but the uploaded site does not there was most likely a problem with the upload process.
If you're exporting to HTML from Muse and using an external FTP client to upload, you need to be sure to upload the complete folder structure that was exported by Muse (all the files and folders exactly as exported).

Swf does not publish properly, plays fine in preview browser.

I have scoured the internet looking for a solution, and I work with a team of professional Flash developers... Nobody can figure this out.
I have a SWF I've been trying to publish to the web. It's inside an AP div tag. The swf plays fine in Preview mode. When I publish, however, the swf does not play in Safari at all, and will only play in Firefox upon hitting "refresh." After this, the swf will load and play just fine, UNLESS YOU CLEAR YOUR HISTORY, at which point the same problem appears: you see nothing but a black, blank box.
"Yeah, I've heard that before, it's probably your javascript, blah blah blah..." Well, wait, just wait. The swf DOES load in both browsers. It just doesn't play. In order to get it to play, you have to right-click and select Play. I cannot, for the life of me, get it to just go ahead and play automatically when publishing.
But the REAL riddle of all this is that the swfs USED to play just fine until a few days ago. I've done nothing different in my publishing. I have rebuilt the page from scratch to no avail. And I haven't found anything on the internet that addresses this question directly. I've had a couple of developers try and mess with the code for me, and THEY can't get it to work, either. I am pretty much begging for any possible help on this, so thanks in advance.
I am a design-oriented user; I understand code only conceptually. If a code solution is the only solution, please be specific with where and how to implement the advice.
The actual page in question is here:
http://www.thecolodinproject.com/Media/Trailers/Trailer%2002_Lure/Trailer_Volume_02_Lure.h tml
I will be checking back at this page often to look for replies; I hope someone can help. Thanks.

Nope... As I said, the swf USED to run just fine, and still does in certain browsers. I haven't messed with the SWF at all since that time, so there isn't any logical reason it should be different now.

When i preview my site all my images disappear but they work in dreamweaver?

When i preview my site all my images disappear but they work in dreamweaver? No broken links i can see them clearly in dreamweaver but i cant see them on the prieview in my browser, its just happened all of a sudden.

Im keeping my files in one folder if thats whay you mean, all sorted properly,
here is an example of just one of the images code:
<div style="padding-bottom:63.84096145629883%;" class="image-block-wrapper   " data-description="">
                                                  <noscript><img src="thecounterhomescreen.jpg" alt="thecounterhomescreen.jpg" /></noscript><img class="thumb-image" alt="thecounterhomescreen.jpg" data-src="thecounterhomescreen.jpg" data-image="thecounterhomescreen.jpg" data-image-dimensions="1333x851" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" data-load="false" data-image-id="529232e4e4b0838eb29bdf53" data-type="image" />
                                        </div>
its not just one image, its happened to every sub page ive done it worked fine less than an hour ago.
All code is valid

Project appears fine in preview, exporting is a total disaster.

My 5 minute project looks fine in preview, but when I export it, I get stuttering between 2 frames, and this is repeated intermitently throughout (same couple of frames). If I switch to another project and export, that project uses some of the footage from the 5 minute thing I'm trying to finish. Older projects (from before today) export okay. The thing I did today was imported footage from a Sony camcorder that was AVCHD. That's the only thing I can pin it on. Moving that footage and the project it was associated with has not helped any.
Between other export issues (it often takes me several attempts, including restarting) and then re-fixing my TITLES, this software (coming from a complete novice) feels like a beta release.

I assume so (my expertise is more in sound than video, though I used to work alongside a video editor, so I'm not completely ignorant!). Though I'm not sure what you'd call the larger scale effect that looks like the image is being projected on slats. Anyway, here's screen grabs of 3 versions, the 2 newer one (after the re-importing) on the left. You'll notice that the lower image is still not exactly great. Again, all of this looks fine in the Viewer, before exporting.
Viewer appearances - that would be the Show Both Fields option? ... Ah yes, that looks bad. So what should I be doing about that? (Or where in the manual does it talk about that?)
Is that something I should have set on the camera? I notice there's no deInterleave option in the FCPX Share items - so how does someone who doesn't have compressor deal with this?
Thanks for your help,
David

What do you do when photos appear on iPhoto fine with preview, but show up back with an explanation point when selected?

What do you do when photos appear on iPhoto fine with preview, but show up back with an explanation point when selected?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Help me! shiny new powerbook freezes up all the time

ugh. so i finally broke down and bought a 17" powerbook. the new ones from a week ago. I installed an extra gig of ram, have installed all the updates from apple etc. but it freezes up all the time. not the spinning beach ball. or the kernel panic must restart your computer freeze, but the totally frozen nothing is moving on screen, must hold down the power button to turn off freeze. it's pretty random when it freezes. nothing seems to precipitate it. sometimes it freezes immediately. sometimes i'll work in InDesign for four hours before it freezes.
any ideas? i ran the full on hardware test etc. and it says everything is fine. i scanned and removed some corrupt fonts. still the same. i've done everything i can think of including reinstalling some software etc.
im assuming it's a software issue, not hardware. or is that not necessarily true? ugh. depressing. thanks for any help-

First thing to try is take the extra RAM and see what happens.
If it stop with the RAM out then you could have bad RAM or it's not in tight. Try re seating it.
If you still get it then, you need to rule out the OS so you need to re install the complete system from fresh. Use disk utility on the install disc to do a low level erase then re install.
If still the same you could have a hardware fault maybe the HD or the logic board.
If it's this new you have Apple support for 90 days, just call them they will sort it for you.
