DVD turns off

I made a DVD using iDVD with slideshows from photos in iPhoto and audio from iTunes. Once I burned it onto a Sony DVD-R disk and played it, it plays all the slideshows perfect with transitions and everything. The problem comes in the last "chapter". It is also a slideshow with 135 pictures and has 3 songs from a playlist. During the last song, maybe halfway through the whole thing shuts down. It doesn't go to the main menu or anything. It plays fine on my computer and my Magnavox TV/DVD combo. I have tried it on 6 various players & it always stops in the same spot. I have burned from iDVD and Disk Utility. Any thoughts?
iMac5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

It is also a slideshow with 135 pictures and has 3 songs from a playlist. During the last song, maybe halfway through the whole thing shuts down.
Could it be related to the 99 image issue?:

How do I turn off computer monitor when watching DVD movie on TV monitor?

I think this is really a Leopard question because it involves setting up 2 monitors in System Preferences within OSX. 1) I have a wide screen TV connected to my iMac (Intel White Late 2006) through the Mini-DVI port and a separate audio cable. This connection works fine. 2) The purpose of the TV screen is only to watch DVDs using the DVD player and iDVD in my iMac. 3) In System Preferences->Displays->Arrangement, both my computer monitor and the TV screen appear as separate monitors. I have the setting to mirror each other. With this setting, the DVD movie plays on both the iMac computer screen and on the TV screen. 4) FINALLY, MY QUESTION: When watching a DVD on the TV screen, I would like to turn off the monitor in my iMac so that the screen is dark (in sleep mode to save power, etc.); I want only the TV screen to display the movie. How do I turn off only the iMac screen? Thank you. Dale

That's impossible. It can only be done on a laptop but not on an iMac.

Hi
No audio on DVD disc.
Most common origin.
1. Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
• Use this in Your movie project
2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
(iM’08 & 09)
3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provocing it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
176x144
480x360
640x480
720x540 960x540
4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
6. Ed Hanna
Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies—except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format—that I have noticed.
7. GarageBand fix.
In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
(if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
Before burning the DVD.
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
• In iDVD 08 - or - 09
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

Hello MacHeads: I downloaded Handbrake 0.9.1 for Tiger, so I can upload a homemade DVD for editing in imovie. Problem is I can't even access Handbrake Help book, because I think my firewall settings are preventing me. I tried turning off all my firewall

Hello MacHeads: I downloaded Handbrake 0.9.1 for Tiger, so I can upload a homemade DVD for editing in imovie. Problem is I can't even access Handbrake Help book, because I think my firewall settings are preventing me. I tried turning off all my firewall settings.? IDK if I'm even doing that right. Can anyone help out here?

You don't need Handbrake for that if it is your own DVD.
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle.
a DVD is in a compresed format called mpeg2, which is standard across all DVDs. This is what is known as a 'final delivery format' and is not suitable for editing. Because is is compressed, a 4.7GB DVD can hold a two hour movie (dual layer DVDs twice that), whereas the DV stream from a video camera, which runs at about 13GB per hour, is not compressed and IS intended for editing.
In other words you have to 'reverse engineer' the DVD back to an uncompressed format in ordfer to edit it. There is a penalty for doing this in terms of slight quality loss, but it is one you can live with.
When you have your DVD as an icon on your desktop, double-click it, and it will open to reveal a TS-Folder containing a number of various files, some called VOB. These are the constituent parts of any video DVD.
When you have downloaded and installed mpegStreamclip, and purchased and installed the Apple mpeg2 plugin, open mpegStreamclip and drag the entire TS Folder into its window. Then using the various menus available to you (just explore them and you will get the hang of it) ask it to convert to DV.
That DV file, which will be many times larger than the original TS Folder, and which can a while to create (be patient - make coffee or prune the roses!) is what you can now import into iMovie for editing etc.
When you have finished doing that, you then have to turn the project back into a DVD.
mpegStreamclip can be downloaded from here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

I bought a LG slim portable dvd writer. I have gotten it connected, and it seems to have downloaded the drivers but then it turns off and I cannot even get the driver CD to eject because it turns off completely.

I bought an LG Slim Portable DVD writer. I connected it to my MacBook Air and the drivers seemed to download. There is an icon that says SuperMulti on my desktop. The portable drive comes on when I double click on the icon, and I hear the drive running. It turns off about 5 seconds later and I cannot even get the driver disc out because the drive is off (no green light).
I am not savvy. What do I do? It says it is compatible with Mac, but then in another place in the directions it states Windows is needed. Please help an old feeble woman!

You need to contact the DVD writer manufacture/vendor customer support and/or read its user manual. LG is not an Apple product.

Satellite A110-160 turns off by itself when im making a dvd to divx conversion

My Toshiba A110-160 turns off by itself(abruptly) when im making a dvd to divx conversion(autogk for example).
This didnt happen before..
I am using an updated bios v1.7(the latest).
Do you think it is because of that?? I have also made a memory upgrade(2GB,667mhz) and I am using windows xp and ubuntu.
Any ideas?

Hi there,
I don´t have any clue why the machine shuts itself off and I cannot give you a quick solution but I can give you a thought how to make some accurate troubleshooting:
Remove the newly installed module and try it again. Then give some feedback if it worked. If not we have to discuss further on that issue, would appreciate some feedback from you.
bye

Can't turn off Mac after burning DVD.

I burned a DVD of images for a client on my MBP 15" Retina (i.e. latest model) on the USB Superdrive. It ejected fine and seems to have finished correctly. However I had a message that the disc burn failed but that I could try again. When I tried to turn my Mac off I got the message "The Finder is about to quit. Click Continue to eject the disc without burning “Untitled Disc” to it." There was no disc in the drive (and I also tried this with a new disc in the drive with the same result) but I clicked continue, the window closed but the MBP stayed resolutely switched on.
I've since burned another DVD in the hope that that would make the Mac 'forget' about "Untitled Disc", but it hasn't and I can't turn off my computer! There doesn't seem to be a hard 'power off' button like my old 17" MBP either.
There's no DVD disc image or folder called "Untitled Disc" that I can eject or delete. Any advice on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard

Open Terminal (Utilities Folder) type
drutil eject
then hit enter.
You may try also
drutil eject external
then hit enter.

DVD Player Can't Turn off Captions

Using DVD Player, I cannot turn off Mac captions. The DVD film has it's own subtitles, but the Mac subtitles play no matter what...regardless of my OFF settings for Subtitles.
How can I turn these off?

Make sure both "Subtitles" and "Close Captioning" are turned off in DVD Player's "Features" menu.

My Macbook's DVD drive suddenly turn off.

Some time ago, my DVD drive stop to working, just turn off, won't grab discs and anything. Well, I just think that if i don't use it so often, I will use that space with a Caddy with a SSD. I bought a caddy and it came with a case for the DVD drive so I can use it externaly. I install de caddy, and it don't work, but the DVD drive in the case works perfectly. The only thing I do just about the time this issue starts was install tuxera for NTFS support (I have the latest tuxera version), I uninstall it but the issues still on, I have mavericks on my macbook pro (mid 2012).

If the DVD drive did not function when installed in the MBP but does in an external enclosure and a HDD in the caddy does not work, it strongly suggests an internal connection issue. I would have that confirmed at an Apple store genius bar.
Ciao.

Macbook display turns off when booting Snow Leopard DVD

I have mid-2009 Macbook Pro and I hate Mountain Lion. I want to do a clean install of Leopard using the DVD (grey) that came with my computer. I loaned it to a friend recently and he had no issues. But everytime i try to boot from the SL DVD (hold C at startup) it behaves normally, until about the time it would go into the DVD startup screen. At that point the display turns off (not the whole computer, just the display) as if it has gone to sleep. And I can't get it to turn on again. I've also tried booting and holding Option and choosing the DVD as the boot drive. No dice.
Awhile back I created a Lion install DVD. I can boot to it just fine. But i don't want Lion either. Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks!

Press control shift eject, then any key to toggle the display from sleep/wake.

Turning off tracking and using existing applications in 10.5.6

Hi
I've just been forced to upgrade to osx 10.5.6, there;s no actual manual, just promo material telling you how easy it is to do all these things. Really insulting when you're trying to find out how use it. Particularly, i want to turn off the thing on the left of the finder window where it tracks everything you do. Anybody know how to do it? I also can't figure out how to run older programs, no way i can afford to upgrade everything, keep getting messages that my application won't run under the new os. What is going on? I'm on the verge of moving back to pc.
thanks

asdfg234,
What you see at the left side of the Finder window is the "Sidebar." It isn't there to "track" you. Rather, it is a tool to allow quick and easy navigation within the file system. It contains shortcuts to various important locations, such as your "Desktop," your "Documents" folder, and your "HOME" folder (which contains the many of the others). You can also drag any file or folder you choose into the Sidebar to customize it. If you insert a CD/DVD or mount an external drive, it shows up in the Sidebar with a convenient eject button. If you are on a network with other computers that provide "services," such as shared printers or file sharing, these computers show up here.
The Sidebar is very handy to have around. However, you can dismiss it entirely if you like. Click the little button in the upper-right hand corner of the Finder window. This dismisses both the Sidebar and the Toolbar (at the top of the window), and causes the Finder to act much as OS 9's Finder did, opening everything in a new window instead of in the same window.
Which brings me to my question: Did you migrate from OS 9?? If so, none of your old applications will work. Leopard (10.5) did away with "Classic" support, and OS 9 can no longer be run on top of OS X. This is a good thing! OS X applications are far more powerful than their OS 9 counterparts, and generally easier to use. Adapt.

My 2009 Macbook Pro turns off every 5-15 minutes

Yeah, the problem started happening a couple of months ago, but it wasn't that big of a deal. I found that if I were to turn it off nightly it would behave better. It was fine for a while, but as of late it will shut off about every 5-15 minutes.It was getting finiky too, if someone bumped the desk funny it would turn off. I tried resetting the SMC but that doesn't seem to have fixed it.
Any ideas? I've thought about doing a clean install of the OS again, but it seems like it might be a hardware problem, so that probably wouldn't work.

I would suggest making an appointment at the nearest Apple Store Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Provider. What you are describing seems to show a problem with hardware.
To make an Genius Bar appointment check:

To find your nearest Apple Service Provider check the link below and then click the "Service" box. There you will be able to put your location.

It might not hurt to run the Apple Hardware Test that came with your Mac's OS & Application Software DVDs and note down any errors reported by it. For more information about the AHT visit:

Hope this helps!

DVR 620 keeps turning off while recording

I've been recording dvd's a lot in the last few months, but this just started today. I can't find anything in the manual about this. Does the dvr part need to be cleaned from time to time?

Describe in more detail what is happening. Are you trying to dub from VHS to DVD? If so, can you play back the VHS tape without a problem? Which kind of DVD is it? DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW? And is there sufficient space? What setting is your record speed? Not dubbing, just recording a tv show onto a Memorex DVD+R (16X 4.7GB 120min) disc. It was a new disc, recording speed SP, which is good for 2 hours, and it was only 30 minutes into the recording. Not only did it stop recording, the player/recorder turned off. It wasn't programmed, and I was in the room, so I grabbed the remote and turned the player/recorder back on and hit record again and it recorded to the end of the show. It did that 3 times yesterday but not once today. I've only recorded one show today though.

HT4972 When I Copy & Paste, what results in the Paste is NOT what I copied. With enough shaking, eventually a box appears saying "Undo Change attributes", which fixes it. HOW do I turn off "Change attributes" in iOS 5.1?

Did you ever figure out which output worked the best? I have the same original footage; trying to determine the best output settings to make a dvd for tv.
thanks!

Ipod nano white screen and not turning off

I took it off and now it is still a white screen adn flashing "Do not disconnect" I'm freaking out because I am not technically minded and my brother spent hours putting music on it for me
It is not turning off at all
eek
Thanks to anyone with time to help me

Hi
It seems to be ok now... I had to go out and it ran out of battery, when I switched it back on it appears to be fine.
If it happens again (hoping that it doesn't!) and i do the reset.. will that remove all the music that's on there?
Sorry for the ignorance
Thank you for the answer
