DVD quitting

This is my first time burning a disk. I created a project with a slideshow of about 150 pictures. There doesn't seem to be a problem when I burn the DVD, but when I put the DVD into my DVD player, everything goes smoothly until about the 98th picture. Then, it stops for no apparent reason. Any suggestions?

it stops for no apparent reason.

Any suggestions?
Build multiple slideshows within iDVD. Here's a pretty complex one I built a while ago.
Ireland 2004 iDVD Project
Nearly 800 images dragged into iDVD as organized folders from the hard drive. Transitions on each image, and menus, sub-menus, and sub-sub menus. The sub-menus are created by clicking on the Folder icon on the iDVD interface.
Main Menu has 6 buttons: Downpatrick, Antrim Coast, Letterkenny, Sligo, Trim, and Extras. Behind each button are additional buttons ranging from 3 to 6 buttons. The Extras button goes fairly deep. When you click on Extras, it gives you 3 choices on a new menu. The "B&Bs" button opens a new menu with 5 buttons. The "Movies" button opens a new menu with 4 buttons. If you click on the "Irish Music" button, you open a new menu with 2 buttons. At that point, you are at a "sub-sub-sub menu."
Music was on 95 of the slideshows. Some movies converted to QT DV from Canon S400 digicam .AVI files (iDVD 4). Now convert to H.264 with QuickTime 7. Images are original 4MP (2MB) JPEG images from the same digicam. This DVD project is around 4GB with all pictures as DVD-ROM content.
Best Quality setting.

  • DVD Quits Unexpectedly In Front Row

    Hi
    Was watching a film through Front Row, DVD and the app just quit with this error:
    11/10/2008 23:03:03 com.apple.launchd[94] (com.apple.RemoteUI[282]) Exited abnormally: Bus error
    For some reason the sound was twice as loud upon restarting the film (even though the volume was already at its max).
    Just wondering if anyone else has this problem and if so can you shed any light on it?
    Cheers
    Chris

    Hi Doug
    Successfully watched a whole film last night with no problems. The original fault occurred with a rented DVD, so no way of re-checking that disc. I guess it must have just been a glitch with the disc itself then.
    Thanks for answering.
    Cheers,
    Chris

  • MSI DVD quit on me...

    Ok, my computer locked up in a game and I was forced to shut it off (ctrl alt del was no use), but when I turned it back on it wouldn't detect the DVD drive. I have to push escape so it bypasses the detection of it (cause it just sits at post for like a minute if I dont). So now when  the computer is on the drive just sits there with the light continuously on on the front of it and I've tried everything I could think of (which is basically unplugging the IDE and power cable and hooking it back up).... So, is it fried?

    Ok, so I ALMOST purcahse a new DVD reader when I came across this: When I turned on the computer my CD-RW wasnt detected! Im thinkin "oh great now I cant even read a CD".... so i restart and its fine and I havent had a prob with it since... But because this happened, this leads me to believe that either the IDE hook up itself is SOMEHOW bad (im not THAT computer savvy but it could even be bios related) or the round cable is perhaps "pinched" in a spot or something... I have no idea. I might just buy a cheapy DVD reader anyway just to see if it works...

  • My dvd quit working after installing mountain lion

    It was working fine before I installed Mountain Lion. It took the disk in and then ejected it. Now it acts like it is completely dead - like something just turned it off. I've never used the drive that much. It's a mid to late 2010 aluminum iMac.

    Tried alot of things, but it finally started working after resetting the SMC controller - go figure...

  • DVD player does not work with latest update

    I installed the latest update 10.8.2 and now my brand new Superdrive will not work with new MacBook Pro Retina display.  When I plug in Superdrive and try to start a DVD, it say "DVD quit unexpectedly......"   Took to Apple store and they said it was latest update.  Anyone else with this problem?

    Dear all,
    Perhaps you found out yourselves but the latest Software Update, called OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Supplemental Update, solves this issue. I recommend you install it and restart your Mac.
    When you insert a DVD in the drive and DVD Player launches, you will be prompted to confirm the region encoding (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, based on the encoding of the DVD you are about to play). This is normal, and you should confirm it again, even if you did it previously.
    Naturally, if most of your DVDs are encoded for one region and you want to play a disc encoded for another region, please remember you may make a limited number of region changes when you play other DVDs, and the last one will be permanent. So, act with caution and sensibility.

  • Won't burn DVDs, rejecting various DVDs, what to do?

    Hi all, I've had my MBP for about a year and a half now, and as of late it's not let me burn DVDs, quite some time ago, and also rejects various DVDs (brand new ones, no scratches on some not copies, genuine DVDs) and I don't know why.
    I do have an extended warranty of 3 years, what do I do?

    Since I just burned half a dozen single and dual layer DVDs this week and I'm up to date with updates, I think we can scratch that idea. Though if the update didn't quite take on your computer...If you updated via the software updater you can always download the combo updater and apply it again.
    Media can be an issue - I have DVDs that my old MacBook burned just fine but my MBP won't. (Different drive manufacturers.) Dirt and dust can also be an issue. I'm not a big fan of optical drive cleaners but if you are out of warranty it is worth a try - for that matter if you are still in warranty it is worth a try. The next step would be a call to Apple.

  • DVD Playback Artifacts (mini with 50" plasma)

    Mac mini hooked up to 50" panasonic plasma using dvi/hdmi cable.
    When in front row or using as a "computer" the display looks great. (1920x1080)
    If I play a DVD or playback a movie that I used mactheripper to store on an external drive (using front row/movies), the picture is horrible with artifacts and such.
    Is there a setting or trick that I am missing? I was pumped about using the mini as a HTPC, but am now discouraged that it will not fit the bill.
    Second question. If I put an AppleTV as the playback hardware, can I expect the same result?

    Could you tell us which model of Mini you have and what its specs are and what other equipment is attached?
    Could you describe the artifacts?
    What other software is running on the Mini?
    All other things being equal, a modern Mini should be able to play a DVD quite nicely. Keep in mind, though, that standard DVD resolution is less than 1920 x 1080, so some upscaling is taking place. It's possible that your TV is also trying to do upscaling, and perhaps the two upscaling efforts are getting in each other's way.
    If your ripped movies are also being compressed to save space, artifacts could be introduced there as well.

  • Duplicating multiple copies of DVD

    I'm on a backpacker list, and for the last few years, people have compiled a DVD of highlights of the people hiking the PCT that year.
    The program is public domain and copies are made without charge to the recipients.
    I'm duplicating some of the DVDs as my contribution. Is there a way to have disk utility burn multiple copies without starting over each time and doing the whole verification and compiling before actually burning the disk?

    Insert the original DVD, quit DVD Player if it starts, and run Disk Utility. Select the DVD drive in the left column (the drive, all the way to the left, not the volume indented below it). Select :New" from the "File" menu, and choose "Disk Image from disk...". Set "Image Format" to "DVD/CD master", choose a file location (such as "Desktop"), and click "Save". When it finishes, eject the DVD, select the disk image file in the left column, and click the "Burn" button (or use Command-B). If necessary, click the triangle at the right to see the burn options. You can use the disk image file to burn as many discs as you want.

  • Burning iTunes playlists onto a DVD

    I want to burn playlists from iTunes onto a DVD, primarily for backup purposes. But also, to give get them into another...PC...computer.
    I have iDVD 5, running Panther (10.3.9)
    I was told I could do this and it would work basically the same was as burning to a CD. Just “dragging” a playlist or playlists onto the DVD.
    However, when I went to iDVD help menu, it said:
    +You can also drag music files from the Finder to the menu or to the Audio well in the Settings pane, *but you can't drag playlists directly from the iTunes application.+*
    What’s the story?
    Thanks in advance

    Ok, but
    I was told you could use DVDs to backup virtually anything on your computer. Documents, photos and music.
    iDVD would seem to be one thing....but a DVD quite another. So I think I'm starting to "get it."
    For what I want to do, I would simply "drag" a playlist out of iTunes, onto the desktop, and from there drag said playlist onto the DVD. And I would have it. The tunes would then be able to be used as "backups" or to "play" on a DVD player, or to copy onto another computer...Mac or PC.
    Actually, for my purposes, wouldn't I simply drag the playlist "from" iTunes onto the DVD? And skip the going to desktop process?
    Am I right on this?
    thanks again

  • My dvd doesn't work after installation of Mavericks, any suggestions?

    After installing Mavericks 10.9.2 my DVD quit working. It will load try to read and then eject.

    PRAM reset would also be worth trying.

  • DVD Format Issues

    I have a two year old Dual Hard disk G5 that I have begun burning DVDs on using IDVD. The DVDs that I am burning NEED to play on PC laptops and desktop machines. So far, the machines that I have tried to play the DVDs on have not been able to play them. I am assuming that many players on PCs don't have the capability to handle DVD-R. I am not sure what format my computer is capable of burning and how it may be possible, if at all, to fix this problem and make it possible to play these discs on the PC. If anyone can give me a quick explanation of this problem it would be much appreciated.
    P.S. For the heck of it I even tried playing consumer grade DVD movies on my roomate's PC and the computer also did a horrible job playing THAT disc - so I don't even know where to start.
    Thanks

    That may be the most important issue, Len!
    Windows XP ships with Windows Media Player (WiMP), but it does NOT ship with an MPEG-2 codec. Does this sound familiar? As in, OS-X ships with QuickTime (QT), but QT does not include an MPEG-2 codec?
    A critical difference, though, is that WiMP will attempt to play a DVD even though it is incapable of doing so. QuickTime won't even try, but at least Apple was nice enough to give us "DVD Player", crummy as it is.
    It turns out that on the DVD-equipped PCs we have at work, there WAS a rather nice DVD player application installed (Cyberlink PowerDVD), but while that program can play DVDs quite nicely, WiMP was still the default application for playing DVDs, and keeps resetting itself as default even though we keep telling Windows to use PowerDVD instead.
    So look around on the PC. This doesn't help if you are developing a disc for broad distribution, but if you are in a somewhat controlled environment, the solution might be as simple as adding a desktop shortcut for a working DVD player application on the affected PCs. Launch that (most DVD drives include a (often crippleware) DVD player app along with the drivers) before inserting the DVD, and use it to play the disc.

  • Slow DVD burn speed.

    I'm having an issue, burning DVDs with K3b or most other software is slow. My LG DVD drive is capable of 16X speeds, I would have no problem burning at this speed under Windows XP. Under Arch I'm only burning at around 4X, you can imagine that it's quite slow. For comparison say a 4.3GB DVD takes me 3 times as long to burn, roughly 13-15min. I haven't tried burning CDs because I haven't bought them for a few years.
    If this is of any help:
    hdparm -I /dev/dvd | grep -i dma
    DMA: sdma0 sdma1 sdma2 mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 *udma2 udma3 udma4
    Thanks for any help, I really need to resolve this because I burn DVDs quite often.

    Same brand. Also I've tried at least 3 good quality brands with the same results.

  • Encore's DVDs aren't recognised on my DVD player (Nero's are)

    Hiya. I'm using PPROCS3 and EncoreCS3 on a modern PC.
    2 min video (one clip, one chapter) no menu.
    The discs aren't recognisable in my Ronin DVD player. If I import the AVI into Nero and burn it, it works. Any idea what could be wrong with Encore? I've just wasted 3 DVDs, quite a lot of time, and I suppose potentially, rather a lot of money.
    Thanks!..

    Damn. Just tried longer projects and they are having problems too. One says 'no disc' the other runs the menu perfectly, but the play button results in playing only the first few seconds of video before it becomes totally jerky or stops playing and just freezes. You can still jump back to the menu.
    Nero is still burning DVDs fine..they are having no problems in my DVD player. Unfortunately my career depends on DVD Authoring beyond the professionalism Nero can offer!
    Thanks for any ideas

  • Trying to install 1st generation iPod Nano on Windows 7 OS laptop.

    When trying to open i Tunes installed from my original software CD, I get a message ""The files 'i Tunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of i Tunes." I have a 1st generation iPod Nano and a Windows 7 OS laptop. The newer i Tunes wouldn't work with my iPod (said it was corrupted), and when I restored the ipod, my CD-DVD quit working and I had to do a system restore to fix that. Now I am trying to get my ipod working with my PC again and get the above message. What do I need to do to get everything working together?

    Don't use the original software CD, because its software is outdated.
    Download the latest version of iTunes here
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    It works with all iPods, going back to the first one from 2001. 

  • How do you back up?

    Hello,
    Here is what I have: a dual 1.8 with a Granite Digital 1.6TB RAID 5 tower. This acts as the server. Connecting to it is a Dual 2.7 via giga-bit and a laptop wirelessly. All RAW files are on the RAID 5. We shoot primarily weddings with two photographers and average about 1,200 RAW files. How is anyone backing up 1,200 RAW files? Will Aperture allow me to successfully do this? Why do I say successfully? Neither computer will burn a readable DVD of the RAW files. If I use finder, I will have one image repeating itself over and over instead of 1,200 different files. If I use Toast, I get a hit or miss of corrupt files. Sometimes Photoshop will open one, sometimes it won’t, but then Bibble may open it and so on. I tried iView, which offers a backup CD option but then doesn’t display the blank DVD in the dialog box to choose from. So how do I back these files up?
    For what it is worth, the Dual 2.7 spent 6-weeks in the shop and they can find nothing wrong with it. I have a case with Apple, but haven’t heard from them in weeks. I can repeat the issue on either machine (dual 1.8 or 2.7) with ease (RAW or JPEGs). Apple even sent a program to record what was going on when I was doing this but again, mum from them.
    Which brings me back to my original question: I have several weddings that reside on the RAID 5. I want to back them up to discs (I know tape would be better but I am not there yet). Will Aperture easily and successfully accomplish this? If not Aperture, Capture One? And if anyone can tell me why Toast or Finder can’t, that would be even better!
    Thanks for any help,

    Hello Charles,
    So far as anyone can tell me, it appears that
    Aperture has no facility for backing up to optical
    media. ...
    depends of how much fear you have?
    The closest I have been able to come is to
    export a project and then span it across multiple
    DVDs, ...
    my current procedings maturing aperture:
    remember i am the one amongst others, heavily linking files and directories from the commandline. =:-)f
    so i burned a cdrom from a small project, with standard finder methods -
    created a burn-folder on the desktop.
    open finder, goto 'Aperture Library',
    ctrl-click the Aperture Libary 'thing' in the finder and
    drag it to the burn-folder on desktop. burning.
    i've had no luck, with linking the mounted cd to a folder within the library.
    but once i copied the burned 'sample.approject' to a folder within the library,
    i 'recvoverd' the newly inserted data to the datadase, when aperture starts next time. this all works for me.
    my recommendations for modifications to a proper workflow:
    ? my test is somehow screwed up, so i cannot tell it for sure:
    aperture even accepted the identical 'sample' project-names
    each located in a seperate folder. but steps to produce this were not
    reliable ( i have to redo with correct order)
    so
    - rename the 'sample.approject' to something meaningful like 'sample2.approject' within the burn-folder, before actually burning the disc,
    would be a better solution.
    So btw, i am pretty much suprised by the easei did that, so i can imagine aperture will give us build-in capabilities to archive to cd or dvd, sometimes in the future.
    and last but maybe not least:
    iview can be pointed to the created cd/dvd, quite the same you did before.
    anybody will complain about the speed, will you?
    cheers
    =:-)f
