DVDSP 4 Freezes up during the burning process

During different parts of the buring stage, my Powerbook just locks up...No spinning wheel or anything. I let it set for a couple hours, but it doesn't help. I have the same problem with iDVD5. I'm not sure where to start.
It does it on different projects with different media being used, some with menus, some without...just looping video. Sometimes it works and most of the time it doesn't.
HELP!!!!

One of the first thing that helps with freezes is encoding the assets outside of DVD SP using Compressor then make sure to aPac/Dolby the audio

  • "Errors found during the burning process"

    Hello,
    I created an iDVD project that includes:
    1. 108-minute movie
    2. 6-minute movie
    3. 3-minute movie
    4. 12-minute slide show (3 four-minute slide shows)
    The project worked fine in the iDVD Preview. I then attempted to burn the DVD right from iDVD, and after 8 hours of encoding, I got the "Errors found during the burning process" message.
    I've read so many posts here with a hundred different possible solutions, but what is the best place to start to try to determine what the errors are and how to fix them?
    Following one suggestion, I am now creating a Disk Image first, but if errors still exist with a Disk Image, what do I do then?
    I'm working on a Powerbook G4 with the iLife upgrade. Thanks for any advice.

    Larry,
    Here's my philosophy on iDVD troubleshooting, largley based upon my experience here at this forum, with heavy doeses of input from Ken Tidwell, Len Goff, Old Toad, F Shippey, with more recent input from SDIllini, Hui Cheng, and Beverly M.......
    #0 - always use "Save as Disk Image" instead of burning when troubleshooting iDVD
    #1 Try the easy usual suspect fixes first! After all if these don't work you can always try the hard fixes!
    Check the list on this download:
    http://dvd.kentidwell.com/iDVDUOFAQ2005.pdf
    But here are easy solutions IMHO:
    Get free space on the startup drive -20GB recommended
    Delete the iDVD plist file com.apple.iDVD.plist
    Repair Disk Permissions
    Clear Cache Files (CacheOutX, TigerCacheCleaner, Onyx)
    Do you have 12 bit audio - check your camcorder.......if not 16 bit you will have problems
    Fix Chapter Markers-don't put one at the beginning in iMovie (iDVD will do it for you)
    Chapter Markers - don't put one at the end.
    Chapter Markers - don't put one within 2 secs of a transition
    Delete other corrupt preference files (try using Preferential Treatment)
    #2 When the easy fixes don't work, you need to divide and conquer. The suspects are your a) your project media, b)your hardware, c)your system/user preferences, d)iDVD.
    A good test for a&d is to build a simple test project with other photos/movies/themes/audio and see if you can "save as disk image" the test project. The iDVD4 tutorial project is great if you've ever had iDVD4 installed on your machine. If this works it suggests that iDVD is working OK, and that something in your project is causing the hiccup.
    The most common problems in projects are CMs, audio and transitions. One way that sometimes clears them up is to export to full quality DV (or to tape!) and re-import into iDVD. In slideshows, funny JPEGs can bring iDVD down. The only method here is to try different groups to find the bad actor.
    OK let's assume that you can't burn (I mean "Save as Disk Image") the test project or the tutorial. This suggest that your hardware/system/iDVD is having problems and your project is probably fine. Then what?
    c) Hardware: if you can make a disk image but can't burn it, or it plays badly, then try creating a data DVD - if you can't do that I'd suspect your DVD drive. Try different brands of DVD-R (and I'd stick to -R, not +R nor +RW), I like Verbatim. Next on the suspect list is RAM. iDVD is the best test for RAM known to mackind. Try pulling non-Apple supplied modules and try again.
    OK, let's assume you can make data DVDs, but you can't make a good disk image, and you've tried pulling all non-Apple RAM. What next?
    Try creating a new user. New users have more limited sets of fonts and all new preference files and caches, not only for iDVD but for everything, and few (if any) third party plug-ins installed.
    Finally try reinstalling iDVD.......
    If you've done all this, a new system install might be in order, but come here first for advice from others before going that far!

  • ERRORS found during the burning process #-34506...any idea what this means?

    ERRORS found during the burning process #-34506...any idea what this means?
    This one project I want to copy to DVD keeps saying this when I go to burn (that is after nearly 2 hrs of processing). There is nothing wrong with the movie so i don't know why i'm having such a problem burning it. i guess to start i'd need to know what this code means (I couldn't find it in iDVD help).
    thanks in advance
    Jeremiah

    First I'd be certain that I had changed the preferences from best quality to best performance.
    Did you follow the chapter rules?
    *Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the start or end of the timeline.
    *Make sure no chapter markers are within a transition.
    *Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the end of a transition.
    You may have already done this, but
    Quit iDVD. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. This may solve project loading errors too. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.

  • Idvd5.01 Errors were found during the burning process (Burned Finished)

    I've never had this problem before, but i'm trying to burn a dvd after all the media and dvd are ready for burning and when I click on the burn icon the following message pops up: Errors were found during the burning process. I've check to make sure nothing is hanging outside the title safe area. Any suggestion to why I'm getting this error.

    Hello, Oscar,
    This message can mean several things.
    First, are you burning an iMovie or a slideshow or both?
    Do you have chapter markers in your movie? Are they on or withing 2 seconds of any transition or at the beginning of your movie?
    Does everything encode properly?
    Are you able to 'save as disk image'?
    Post back with some more details about your project.

  • Errors were found during the burning process!?!?

    I finished importing a movie off of my DV Camera and clicked "share" in the iDVD '06 menu. I selected iDVD and my movie was sent into iDVD 6. After customizing a menu, and inserting a blank disc, the burning process was started. After iDVD6 has finished "processing" and "rendering" the menus and the movie, the progress bar for the action "burning your DVD" pops up. About a quarter of the way through I get a window which says the following:
    Burning Finished
    Errors were found during the burning process.
    After clicking "Details" it says:
    The recording device reported the media error: Write error. (0x0C, 0x00.)
    I have tried burning a movie on all DVD types available.(DVD-R DVD+R DVD RW) Why does this problem keep occurring? Is there a problem with my superdrive?

    Hello Ilzmaster,
    the cause could be your burner, but it's much more likely that high burn speed is the culprit - and you can't control that in iDVD.
    Try creating a disk image (File > Save as Disk image). This creates an .img file on your HDD, that can be stored for future use and gives you the option to preview your DVD on your Mac before burning to disc.
    Next use Disc Utility or Toast to burn your DVD at slow speed. 4x is acceptable, 2x (... or even 1x) is better.
    Use only high quality DVD-R (not DVD+R) media (e.g. Verbatim) to minimize burn errors and compatibility issues. Make sure the DVD is compatible with slow burn speed (e.g. 1x-4x)
    Also: iDVD likes to have the project(s) on your startup disc with 15 - 20 GB of available disc space
    hope this helps

  • What reasons would my movie render but then freeze up during the burn to disc?

    So now I have a 64 minute movie edited, music in parts, menus made, ready to burn to a DVD.
    I go to publish & share > choose save to disk > DVD> I want to burn it to 9 disks so set copies to 9> it is about 4 gigs so I set it to highest quality> then click burn.
    2 1/2 - 3 hours later it finishes the rendering or reformatting part. now it should go directly to burning this onto the blank DVD disk but the program seem to freeze up and over an hour later the burn progress bar is still at 0% and the program is unresponsive.
    In previous "test" burnings (wanted to see how some of the other transitions and effects looked) I did not have the menu set up. Is there any reason that adding menu screens would cause this to lock up?

    Thanks for your help!

    I believe this would be applicable to my situation. But I could not do what the directions in the link you provided told me to do.
    In I-tunes, I found the preferences, then the general tab, got the import pop-up screen changed that to MAV, then clicked OK.
    I clicked on an album in my library, a song started playing, then I can open that album to see individual songs, I click/highlite one song.
    This is where I could not do the next steps. there is NO "file" option in the top left of the window. the only thing up there looks like a domino and play control buttons. When I click on the domino looking thing I get a drop down menu but there is nothing that says "create new version".
    I opened a new file explorer window, found my music> media opened up the album clicked on 1 song there> then clicked on "file". NO such options there either.
    I'm stuck now.
    Do I need to put the CD back in and rip each song I want to import into the computer again in the different file format?

  • Errot Found During The Burning Process

    Can someone tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it?
    I have 2 DVDs in front of me Both Sony DVD-R the only difference between the disks is one is 1X-4X the other is 1X-8X. I can burn the 1X-4X with no problem. The 1X-8X errors every time. The error message is:
    The recording device reported the media error: Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.)

    I have been getting the same error message and have tried just about everything except replacing the drive. I have tried all kinds of blank dvd's and finally just bought the apple brand and still no luck. Which sony 1x-4x dvd's work, maybe that will be what we have to use.

  • Using compressor DVD Studio Pro 4 will only accept ac3 format in the burn process. ac3 makes a nnsense of the good sound delivered, 30% reduction in volume, auto volume levelling giving unwanted volume variations. Used to be able to burn using AIFF/WAVE,

    AS Above. Edited in FCPX. Excellent sound file. Using Compressor 4 to DVD Studio 4. Wanting AIFF or WAVE sound for acurate sound.
    Previously DVD Studio 4 has accepted AIFF etc and delivered sound as reuired. Now, during the burn process everything other than ac3 is declined as 'video bit rate too high', but will burn if the AIFF format is replaced with ac3 (which I presume meanss the 'video bit rate too high' is referring to the sound file)
    The issue with ac3 format is the huge reduction in original volume and worse, the 'auto volume levelling' that makes a nonsense of the original soundtrack - with simply aweful unwanted variations in volume Throughout the  the dvd.
    I have tried everything I can think of to get around this. The 'volume gain' in compressor doesn't make any difference. Exporting just AIFF and the Video to DVD 4 doesn't make any difference, it always declines anything but the aweful sound ac3 delivers.
    I have customers awaiting a musci DVD, not with thei quality I can't.
    Cheers
    Phil

    The total video bit rate is determined by audio & video. Depending on what rate your video file was encoded at will determine how much room is left for audio. PCM(aiff/wav) audio requires a bigger piece of the pie. Video bit rate too high means your overall(video+audio) rate is going above 9Mbps which the format won't allow. The only way to use aiff would be to lower your video file's data rate. The length of your program is also a factor in all of this.
    I had some problems in the past with using aiff instead ac3. Although there shouldn't be any issue I experienced playback issues on some players that couldn't be explained but were cleared up by ac3.  I have been using the same specs as Dave's suggestion for almost nine years and have not had any issues with mix, quality, or levels.

  • IDVD 08 (v 7.0.1)  ejects disk before the burn process is complete.

    I've only been able to burn one disk successfully now the disk ejects before the process is completed. The iDVD screen still shows that the project is still burning. I have about 10g of hard disk space available during the burning process.

    Just to add to Sue's excellent advice (Len's too), here's a few way to clear up those 10 GB's she recommended above:
    You can clear video files already burned to DVD-R media, burn your iPhoto Library to DVD to clear more space , or even consider clearing languages you won't need on your system with an app like Monolingual. No problems will be created by removing unneeded language files (however it's highly recommend you avoid removing architectures on any intel mac).
    Items in the /Library/Packages/ and /Library/Printers/ folders that you don't use can be deleted, and Monolingual can be run to free up more space.

    Any ideas ?
    I've got Mountain Lion running.

    can you preview it? -
    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

  • Everytime I try to burn an iMovie project to a DVD with iDVD, the disc is ejected during the Burning and Multiplexing phase before it's completed.

    For months I have been unable to burn any iMovie project to a DVD using iDVD.  During the Burning and Multiplexing phase the disc is ejected before it's complete.  I went the Genius Bar and after many tests I was told that my disc drive was pretty much dead.  The person that helped recommended that I buy an external DVD burner from amazon.  I bought the new drive and I can now burn files, but I'm still encountering the same issue burning a movie.  Does anyone have any idea what'g going on?  I'm extremely frustrated at this point!

    Read this treatise on Multiplexing by  Bengt Wärleby: HT1645 I was burning a DVD and the...: Apple Support Communities.
    Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Properties Files during the build process.

    Hi everyone, I have a question about files inside the src directory and how they relate to files in the /WEB-INF/classess directory.
    From what I've read, eclipse copies the files inside "src" into "WEB-INF/classes" when building a project.
    Inside my "src" folder I have a few properties files for my application, let's call them qe.properties, production.properties and final.properties
    When I build my app (using Ant) I currently copy qe.properties into final.properties when building my application in QE. And production.properties into final.properties when building my application for production.
    Here is the command:
    <copy file = "src/qe.properties" tofile="src/final.properties" overwrite="true" />
    Every once in a while a production build will have a qe properties file and vice versa (a qe build will have a production properties files).
    I tried changing this using a symbolic link but I ran into the same issue, and worst yet, the file that get's copied inot "WEB-INF/classess" is not a symbolic link it simply contains the contents of the symbolic link.
    How can I get around this issue?

    I replaced the files with new files they are in the same location but they have different names.  It still does not work.
    It's very frusterating.
    Everytime I make ANY changes to my original files I need to rebuild in encore.  For example, I have a dynamic link and I adjust a transition and then resave.  I have to build in encore from scratch (it will not build).
    When encore works if I just save my encore file, close and then reopen it does not work anymore.
    If I render the files and change anything in encore it does not work.
    BTW the preview works perfectly.  It just freezes during the Build Process.
    I also tried to build an image and this did not work (it froze too).
    I'm assuming CS5 works with intel i7 and windows 7 and 8GB of Ram per the Adobe requirements.
    Any other ideas (other than leave every instance of Encore up and never close the program down)?

  • Problem: An error occured during the uploading process.

    Hello!  I've searched around but I am having difficulty finding a solution to this problem.
    I am trying to upload videos through Adobe Premiere Elements 9 to YouTube, using the preset options in the share tab.  This worked previously without issue, but then one day I continually ran into an error stating "Sorry, an error occured during the uploading process.  Please try again later."  However, it eventually started working.  It is now a few weeks later, and I am having the very same issue.  I am unable to upload to YouTube or any other service through the Share tab.  Even loading the software itself, the opening splash screen is unable to grab my Adobe ID.  It never stops "Gathering User Info..."
    Steps I have tried:
    Going to Edit -> Preferences -> Web Sharing and hitting the refresh button to update settings.
    Checked router settings.
    Enabled DMZ on router and linked it to this specific computer.
    Rebooted PC and router, and tried updating the Web Sharing settings multiple times.
    I honestly do not believe it to be a router issue, especially since it is currently in DMZ mode and I have had absolutely no trouble with any other software.  This has continued to baffle me though, and finding help is difficult.  Searches keep giving me encoding settings for YouTube videos, and few results pertain to this particular issue.
    I am aware I could export the video normally and upload through YouTube that way, but on DSL, my upload speed is pretty terrible for a high quality video.  The YouTube HD setting has been great for me in the past, as files are small but still look great online.  I would really like to get it working again, both for ease and convenience for simple projects.
    If anyone has any ideas as to what could be causing a problem, I would be greatly appreciative of any advice.  In regards to the project itself, there is no real editing being done at this point, as I am trying to eliminate any possibility of error elsewhere. I opened a new project, added a video clip and went directly to upload it, resulting in the error above.
    I don't believe it matters in this situation, but just in case:
    Windows 7
    AMD Phenom II X4 820 - 2.80 GHz
    6 GB RAM
    Radeon HD 5880 1GB
    Connecting through a Netgear WNDR3400 router, standard DSL connection.

    Sorry, not seeing where to edit my original post.
    Just wanted to add, that I am able to visit both the Photoshop.com website, as well as YouTube through my browser.  So I am not being blocked somehow to those particular sites.  It only seems to be through the software that I cannot connect to any of the online services to upload videos to.
    Additionally, the only virus software running is Microsoft Security Essentials.  It has never raised a flag before with this software or caused interference in the past.  I do not use Norton or any other service which are known to interfere with programs often.
    Just a quick example as well, pinging Photoshop.com through the command prompt shows I am getting through just fine.  As you can see in this image though, it cannot seem to ever connect and grab my user information.
