DVD SP will only burn 1 file out of 3

Hello there --
I'm trying to use DVD SP to burn a dmg (then iso) file (because my burner died it seems), to be burnt on a pc later.
My problem is that the dmg file won't work (itself or converted to .iso).
I'm importing m2v/ac3 twin files, which play back fine in DVD SP itself (and elsewhere). It simulates ok too, but when I burn the file, it weighs 1,07 Gig, which is less than the total of the three clips I'm trying to burn, which amount to about 2 Gigs.
And in the VIDEO_TS folder, I can find the menu .VOB file, the first clip, but all other files are all 158 Kb empty files.
The first file (which seems to burn ok) is 16:9, the two others are 4:3.
Any suggestion, or things to look up or try?
Thanks!
DVD SP : 4.2.2
Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 Dual-Core Xeon / 14 Gig
10.6.8

I am not understanding your workflow and where what elements are coming from.
To my knowledge you cannot burn a dmg out of DSP. You can export an img. If you are opening a dmg and then using those elements to create a DVD then there may be a problem with some of the elements.
If the DVD simulates fine than build it to your desktop in a new folder. Open the Video_TS in the Mac DVD player application and confirm all is well. If it doesn't play right than there are issues with your files in DSP.
You should be able to take the folder of build files to a PC or Mac(with the proper software) and burn a DVD in Nero or just about any other program.
You can have a DVD with mixed tracks(some 16:9 & some 4x3). If DSP is making the tracks 4x3 when added then somehow that info is being associated with the file in the workflow.
Need more info to be of more assistance.

IDVD will only burn to 16X discs and not 8X

I replaced my original superdrive with a pioneer DVR-100 because it can burn at 16X speed and dual layer. Now, iDVD will only burn to 16X discs. When I try to use 8X discs I get an error message. iDVD will begin to write, the disc will spin up twice, then the disc is ejected. The really annoying thing is that it makes those discs unusable.
Any ideas how to fix this.

What brand DVD-R?
I burn Verbatim DVD-R 16X at 4X all the time using a disk image and Toast (or Disk Utility). Try Verbatim. I use other brands too. In both of my "SuperDrives."
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. 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 5 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.)

Hello selinahillier, Many times when this happens the DVD laser has become faulty. I have removed the DVD drive, and the DVD drive case, and used a soft cloth and some cleaning solution to clean the DVD Laser and managed to get the DVD working again.
Since DVD drives are as inexpensive as they are now, it might be best to just purchase a new one.
These can be purchased for less than $20.00 USD now.
Here is a link to NewEgg where these drives can be found.

Encore CS5 will Only Burn One DVD At A Time

Hello All , I am having a problem that I didn't have with CS4 ,If I set CS5 to burn more than one DVD it shows a hardware error after the first one , If I set CS5 to burn one DVD it works every time I only burn at 8X .This is not a major problem because it doesn't take much longer to burn them one at a time
but it would be nice to know why .
Regards
Kevin

Thank's for your suggestion but I have always set CS4 to burn say 10 DVDs and just change the media when prompted (only 10 days ago) in CS5 this doesn't work only the first one will burn , I am sure there is nothing wrong with my hardware is works flawlessly with all other software.

Burner will only burn DVD RW all of a sudden???

Sorry in advance about the long message
I have a satellite U205 S5002 which i got used 3 months ago
when i first got it i installed vista and everything was ok.( hardware-mat**bleep**a dvd-ram uj-842s ATA device)
then a week ago, i bought a new pack of dvd-r-until then i had used diff brands of dvd-r, dvd+r, dvd-rw, dvd+rw and they all worked. I dont know if it matters but the new pack was Imation and couldn't burn on any of them. Since then i have reinstalled vista twice, and haven't installed any programs besides win avi and nero.
When I last installed vista a couple of days ago, it let me burn 5 dvd-r and then nothing with win avi. Nero would only burn only dvd rw and everytime i tried a dvd-r it said it couldn't start disc at once.
Today i bought a new pack of the same dvd-rw it let me use last time and nero burned 1 and then kept telling me there was a track error. Win avi burned 1 and then when i tried a 2nd wouldn't do anything and then i installed convertX to dvd and it did the same as win avi.
It still burns cd-r's(they are the only one's i can burn with the vista built in software)
I just checked device manager and clicked on properties for the dvd drive, and in the details tab under value it says CD-ROM drive(dont know if that matters but i thought I'd mention it)
I have asked a couple of computer techs in my area and they had no idea what could be wrong
Thanks in advance for any help

hi Evan!
it's unusual that this started out of the blue ... did you install/uninstall/upgrade any hardware or software just before this started happening to you?
here's some standard resources for dealing with this sort of thing (but the sudden onset makes me wonder if something else is afoot):

DVD's will not burn at their full speed

I've had my powerbook for about a year now and haven't had any problems with it until now. I recently just purchased Phillips DVD-R 4.7GB 120min 1-16x speed blank DVD's. My powerbook will only write them (using built in utils, and 5 other 3rd party burning software) at 2x speed.
I know that my powerbook is capable of much more than that. What can I do to acheive the full write potential?
Thanks

My superdrive will only burn audio cd's up to 8x for some reason...

I'm a college student, and I burn a lot of audio CDs to listen to in my car, and from what I recall, usually my burn speeds are around 24x. I tried burning a CD today and Toast only gave me options up to 8x burning speed. It actually burned the disc fine and everything, it's just that I can't figure out why all of the sudden my speed options have been reduced so low.

Are you using the same blank CDs that you recorded at 24x on? CD/DVD media are rated at certain speeds. If the CD/DVD media is only rated at 8X, it will not burn faster than that. Also, DVD and CD speeds are not the same thing. Was it a DVD that you were burning in Toast or a CD?

CD/DVD Drive won't burn file to disk.

I have a HP Pavilion dv2799ea and i am running Windows 7 Bit on it.
My CD/DVD ROM Drive is a slimtype DVD A DS8A1H ATA Device.
When i try to burn files to a disk it it throws up the following error message:
"The disc wasn't burned successfully. Make sure that you have the laciest firmware for you CD or DVD burner installed, and then try again"
My driver are up to date on my DVD drive.
What i have tried so far to fix this problem is:
I uninstalled the slimtype DVD A DS8A1H ATA Device via device manager
and also uninstalled the
ATA Channel 0, ATA Channel 0, ATA Channel 1, ATA Channel 1, ATA Channel 2
under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers in the device manager,
restarted my PC and it started installing them again, but with no luck as the disc will till not burn!
Also i went into Regedit under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > Class > {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
and deleted the UpperFilters - REG_MUTI_SZ
These were both fixes for other people online who seemed to have the same problem as me, however they have not worked for me!
I have since restored the registry the its former state.
I realism the error message says it may need a newer version of firmware, but i have searched online and don't seem to be able to find one (not that there isnt one).
If anyone could could please help me with this it would be greatly appreciated, as i feel i have tried everything that i am capable of!
For further note: I bought the PC second hand off a mate in April 11, but have not tried to burn a disc since i have had it!
He previously had windows vista on it!
Thank you in advance for any help or information on this matter

Thanks for the quick reply.
I have downloaded the software and tried to burn the files to disc with it, but it gives the following error:
"An error occured while burning the disc. Most likely the disc is not usable. Usually, these errors happen if the inserted media is not compatible to the drive or of poor quality.
(devWriteProtected) Could not write to Disc (LBA: 0 Length:32).
Write Protected. - 0x052700"
The discs i am using are cheap ones that i bought at the supermarket, 100 for £8 or something!
Do you think this could be the problem?

Using Compressor DVD Studio Pro 4...will not burn files

I was working with an extreamly large video file that was exported as a Quicktime movie and was 69.2 GB and about 2 1/2 hours long. I imported it into the Compressor and chose the DVD file folder>Best Quality DVD 150 minutes and dragged both the video and audio sources onto the project then hit submit. Once it was finished, I had 2 files video and audio...video (MPEG-2 3.99 GB ) audio (Professional 2.0 aC3) I then imported it into DVDSP 4 I went through dragging both files into track 1, setting chapter markers but I also in the dis/volume tab selected the dual layer option since this movie is very long...I also have the DVD+R double layer DVD for buring on to. Once I click burn, it goes through the muxing and then formatting process which are both successful but then it pops the DVD out. I also noticed during the process that in the Log, it notes that the video and audio files are not DVD-video files and will not be applied to the final DVD...I am assuming that it is not recognizing these files, is there a way to fix this perhaps in Compressor first?
Thanks

Hello, see if Burn.app works...
http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html
Converting.
Forget worrying about conversion. Burn will take your video and audio files and turns them in the right format.
In the preferences you can set the options for quality and size.

After I put three .mov files in to iMovie it will only let me out them in a certain order and won't let me move them around. Should I convert them to a different format?

I put the files on my desktop and imported them into iMovie but now it only lets me havce them in a certain order. iMovie won't let me drag them to different locations.

If they play OK in Imovie then the format is OK. Have you put them into a project timline or are you trying to rearrange them in an event?

DVD Tray Will Only Partially Eject

I have a PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-109. When I push the eject button the tray only comes out about a 1/4". With the side panel removed I see that the tray is hitting the outer case. It needs about 1/8" of clearance to open properly. I have solved this problem temporarily by unlocking the drive and then re-seating the front lugs only, leaving the rear lugs on top of the locking mechanism. This puts the tray in a slightly downhill position and it will then clear the case.
Is this a known issue with this computer? I have had it for about 6 weeks. I haven't had time to take it in for service. Any ideas? TIA

The DVD drive as listed in my OP is what came installed with the computer when I purchased it brand new Jan. 21, 2006. This machine is the last of the non-Intel CPU's, I got a pretty good price as they were closing them out. This is my first Mac and migrated from PC's due to the risk of viruses etc. I really like this G5 but a bit surprised at the tray hitting the outer case. I guess I'll call Apple and find out how to procede. Thanks

DVD/TS will not burn - error with rendering menu video asset?

This 5-minute slideshow takes 45 minutes to prepare, then "could not burn", yet on my MacBook, a 10-minute slideshow took 3 minutes with flawless rendering/processing (granted I only had the 2 songs and 60 pics or so on my computer, not like my dumping ground iMac). I've spent 3 nights troubleshooting this. I have reinstalled Snow Leopard and repaired disk permissions. There are no yellow triangle/yield/error signs in the project.

Your comment about "dumping ground" suggests the hard disk may be too full. Even with a small project, you need a fair amount of space on the boot drive (your main hard disk) for iDVD to do all the processing. If you're under 10 gigs of available space, it may cause some trouble -- some around here recommend 15-20 gigs of free space when you're burning a DVD.
