DVD's not burning properly

Creating projects in iDVD5 I am getting projects which seem to be missing data enough to cause jittering or stopage of the movie. Any Ideas???

Hi Joe,
Any Ideas???
not yet...put in some more info.
where is the movie coming from? How long? where is it stuttering/stopping? Where are you playing it? Did you create a disc image and did that play fine?
What type of DVD did you use? Burn speed?
these are things that could bring us closer to the solution

  • How can I get a dual layer DVD+R to burn properly?

    I can not get a dual layer DVD+R to burn properly. The disk pops out before it's finished, usually at the end of the multiplexing stage.  iDVD seems to think the disk is still burning for about 20 more minutes although the box says "done".  I tried it with an external DVD burner with the same result.  I'm running the latest iDVD version available on a MacBook Pro running Lion.  Any ideas out there?

    Hi
    Free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - How much ?
    • for SD-Video and SL-DVD - I never go under 25Gb
    • for DL-DVD I would guess that 50Gb free is safe
    • if HD-material is used (needs space to be downscaled to SD-Vide0 as this is DVD standard) - 4-5 times more

  • Dvd drive not worked properly

     i have  hp pavilion dv4 series.my dvd drive not worked properly.for that purpose only i went 7 times in your service centre but they won't take action  till now .why u people do like this .i want explation and just change my  dvd drive that's all.

    tcrite,
    Sounds like a bad drive...I would get a replacement. According to Accelerate Your Mac database, it should work without issue.
    Just enter the model number of the drive and select your Powerbook G3 2000, and you will see four reports on this model.

  • Blank 16x DVDs will not burn in internal DVD burner

    Hi
    Some blank 16x DVDs will not burn in the internal DVD burner on my iBook G4.
    My iBook tries to load the DVD-Rs but it spits the DVD out after 2 tries.
    Any reason why
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    It could be just the brand you are using.

  • DVD is Not Burning in DVD Studio Pro

    DVD is Not Burning in DVD Studio Pro 4.2.0

    I used build and format approach. Both discs play fine on computer platforms, but not on a consumer DVD connected to the TV. Normally I have no problem. I checked and rechecked several times all the preferences for Studio Pro. The only thing I noticed was instead of generating a Video and Audio TS file, it generated one HVDVD_TS file. Is this the issue? If so,where do I correct this (in the settings)?
    Thanks

  • Dvd not burning properly, not recognized by DVD Player

    I have not burned video DVD's for several months until this week when I find that disks burned from disk images created by IDVD no longer burn properly. They are not recognized by Apple DVD player or on two different commercial players that I have.  The disk images can be played with Apple DVD player, but once burned to disk, I get a message Disk not Supported.  I have tried burning disks from 3 reputable brands with the same results.  I just updated to OS X 10.8.5.  Anyone have any suggestions?

    Another thing to check is your bitRates and whether you encoded the audio to A.Pack/Dolby. I have often seen machines play once or twice then start having playback issues or not play. It can be related to the encode rates (and it may not behave across different machines the same way, in other words it will continue to play fine on some players and not another)

  • DVD WILL NOT BURN IN IDVD

    Trying to burn a project in IDVD, goes through the entire process up to "Writing Lead-In" and about 6 minutes left, the disk is ejected automatically. When put back in process gets hung up. Have also saved as a "Disk Image on my desktop and plays with no issues via the DVD software. When I select to burn to Disc, within 1 minute disk is ejected and this message comes up "The Disk can"t burn, because the device failed to calibrate the Laser Power for this Media". Is this a software or hardware issue? Or something else

    Hi
    • Trashing pref file - first thing to do (free and easy)
    • Cheap media is often a problem - I use Verbatim DVD-R and burn at x4 speed
    • Free space - is important BUT only on start-up hard disk (others doesn't matter)
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
    • Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
    iDVD pref file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named.
    com.apple.iDVD.plist
    While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iDVD.
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
    Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
    or
    Macintosh HD/Users/Your log-in//Library/Application Support/iDVD/Installed Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
    • Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
    iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
    I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
    emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
    and I am up and running.
    If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
    iDVD updated ?
    Apple Codec updated ?
    Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
    No of Colors - must be set to millions
    EdinSF writes that, The 10.6.3 update with an Open GL fix seems to have taken care of the problem.

  • DVD drive not burning double layer discs

    I was burning a double layer DVD this morning, using Verbatim media, which I've never had any problems with. The drive I was using was a Pioneer DVR-A18M. All of a sudden, after I successfully burned one disc and inserted another DL disc, it refused to burn anymore. I forget the exact error message, but it was something along the lines of the media wasn't recognized, and this persisted for multiple discs that I tried.
    Now, yesterday, a friend let me borrow a movie that had a crack in it and the disc came apart in my internal Pioneer drive - but it still worked after that. Odd thing was that the drive would still read and play movies, music, etc but it wouldn't burn anything, tho I don't know if it would burn things other than DL media because I didn't try.
    Anyways, while the Pioneer drive - which I just bought after New Years - had been working well, I decided to replace it due to the fact that it wouldn't burn DL discs and a few other minor issues I'd been having with it. The one main issue was that if I left a disc in the drive for too long, I wouldn't be able to eject it or load any new applications. I'd have to reboot the computer to get the disc out, something I never had to do with the only Sony drive that came with my G5.
    So, I replaced it with an LG GH22. Upon trying it out, it burned a single layer DVD-R, but will not burn a DL disc. The error message this new drive gives me is, from with Toast:
    Sense Key = Illegal Request
    Sense Code = 0x24
    Invalid Field in CDB
    If it would help, I could put the Pioneer drive back in and see exactly what that error message was.
    Oh, one last thing. I'd like to replace the E-IDE cable I have, as disc media is never able to reach its full burning speed potential. I'm guessing it's due to the old IDE cable, as my G5 is from 2005?
    Thanks!

    Ok, I tried using Dragon Burn instead of Toast and it worked fine and the DL disc plays. I have to run out to MCAT class but when I get home, I'll mess around with it some more and try using Toast again, the old drive, etc.

  • CDs not burning properly

    Frequently, when I burn a CD, some of the tracks will have a very scratchy sound and sometimes will even skip. This usually happens on tracks near the end of the disc. I have observed this to happen with both CD-RWs and CD-Rs, and it happened on my old Windows 2000 system as well as my new Windows XP system.
    If anyone knows what I can do to fix this, I would appreciate it.

    Hi
    Four thoughts
    • Brand and type of DVD/CD Media
    • Burn Speed ?
    • Ever used a Cleaning DVD ?
    • Free space on Main Start-Up Hard Disk ?
    Brand and type of DVD/CD Media: MATTERS
    - Memorex, NoName and other Cheap brands - most probably works for other things BUT NOT FOR VIDEO.
    I only use Verbatim
    - DVD-RW - usually do not work OK but with various kinds of problems. DVD+R is a more modern sort and use to give problems on older DVD-players
    I only use DVD-R
    Burn Speed (in iDVD or alike): Matters
    • Best or Max - is not best
    I set it down to x2 or x4 Max
    Ever used a Cleaning DVD ?
    I use one WITHOUT Liquid but with brushes from time to time
    Free space on Main Start-Up Hard Disk ?
    - Due to that Mac OS X - is UNIX - it behaves likewise. It needs lot's of space on Boot / Start-Up Hard Disk for it's and the applications temp files.
    I never go less than 25GB free space - If HD-Video material is used then 4-5 times more is a good thing.

  • DVD Drive Not Burning, Tried Cleaning - No Luck

    So,
    Over the summer, my dvd/cd drive inside my 15inch Macbook died. Took it to Apple and they replaced it with no problem cause of my apple care. Months went by, I burned a couple CDs and such. But not DVDs. Last week, I tried burning a DVD and experienced a problem. I search all over google and these help boards and such to find solutions. Here is my log after the burn.
    DVD Studio Pro: Burn started, Tue Dec  6 11:56:52 2011
    DVD Studio Pro: Burning to DVD-R (RITEKF1) media with DAO strategy in MATSHITA DVD-R   UJ-868 KB19 via ATAPI.
    DVD Studio Pro: Requested burn speed was 8x, actual burn speed is 8x.
    DVD Studio Pro: Burn underrun protection is supported, and enabled.
    DVD Studio Pro: Write (10), block: 0, count: 64 -> 3/73/03 Medium Error, Power calibration area error
    DVD Studio Pro: Burn failed, Tue Dec  6 11:58:07 2011
    DVD Studio Pro: Burn sense: 3/73/03 Medium Error, Power calibration area error
    DVD Studio Pro: Burn error: 0x8002006D The disc can't be burned; it might be incompatible with this disc drive. Please try a different brand of disc, or try burning at a slower speed.
    I tried that language changing fix, didn't work.
    I purched a Memorex Cleaning Disc, still doesn't work.
    My last two options are to go out and buy a different kind of disc, but I don't understand why I have to. Iv been using the same kind of blank DVDs for a year now. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    OH BTW, I burned in Disc Utility at 2x and it worked fine. But it took forever to do so I will not settle for burning at 2x lol.

  • DVD+R not burning

    I bought some TDK DVD+R s and they did not burn on my iMac G4 (running 10.4.6) They were 16x if that means anything. Thanx

    Hello, Chris,
    Welcome to the discussions.
    I bought some TDK DVD+R s and they did not burn on my iMac G4 (running 10.4.6) They were 16x if that means anything.
    Most of us think that other brands are better, Verbatim is one of the best.
    DVD-R disks will usually play on more DVD players.
    16x may be a bit fast for best burning. Try 8x or less.
    Also, instead of wasting DVDs trying to get a burn, create a disk image on your desktop by choosing to 'save as disk image.' This will start the disk-burning process, but will end up with a disk image that is an exact copy of your project. You can view it with DVD player to ensure that the DVD will burn correctly. You can then burn DVDs using Disk Utility. See this for more information: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/18.html

  • Optical DVD drive not working properly: HP notebook g61

    Game disks and dvd movie disks not working consistently. Sometimes detected as empty dvd disk and asks if I want to burn to the disk. Other times does not read that there is a disk in the drive. Computer is about one month old. On one of my game disks, I have to reinsert 4 or 5 times before it will read properly. Any suggestions?

    Sounds like you use the disk drive a lot. Before we panic and recommend a new drive, try a DVD lens cleaner you can pick up at any place that sells a lot of DVDs, like even WalMart. Run the cleaner disk and see if that helps.

  • URGENT INFO NEEDED  - DVD's not burning on macbook - 4 brands now tried

    Hi. I've been trying to burn photos onto DVD's all week and I've now tried 4 different brands inc sony - my mac has a superdrive and is supposed to take -R, -RW, +R and +RW. I've tried all of these and they are either not being read/ ejected as not being blank when they are/ or burning a few, ejecting and then unreadable when you put them in again. I've heard thatthere are particular brands that will work, does anyone know what it is so I can get them.
    thanks

    Exactly the same problem here. The worst thing is, before the firmware update it worked fine for me. A HUGE THUMBS DOWN to Apple, we people are having this problem for months now and still no fix. Is it so hard to check if your updates work before releasing them???
    I have been a true customer to Apple for over 20 years but it seems like the quality of your products is just going down and down and down and down. Instead of bringing out all this new fancy stuff like MacBook Airs and iPhones, you should first try to make your current product line work properly. I bought the most expensive laptop on this planet and I can't even play or burn a freaking DVD!!! Thanks a lot, Apple.
