DVDSP burn issue

Upgraded to Lion and immediately found DVD Studio Pro useless as it will not burn a disc. Recently reverted back to Snow Leopard for a number of reasons but still have the same problem. When I try to burn I get an almost instantaneous message that says, "Formatting Failed" "See Log". Log says, "Build cancelled Compiler File Error". Since custom menus are not currently an issue I've been burning out of FCP share with no problems. Thoughts?

Sorry, no, but we've seen at least one other similar post about Lion breaking most of the FCS3 apps. After you reverted back to Snow Leopard, did you reinstall the FCS3 bundles? Might be ncessary to replace all the stuff that Lion apparently killed.

Yet another CD burning issue--won't finish "finishing"

The subject pretty much says it all. When I try burning a CD, the computer seems to go through the process just fine until the status becomes "Burning disc.....finishing," at which time, it stops. iTunes still works and is responsive, but the CD won't finish.
I've also tried burning discs with Windows Media Player, but it doesn't seem to work either.
Immediate responses would be greatly appreciated--I need to burn a disc as a gift ASAP!
Thanks in advance.
(Please note that at the time I ran the diagnostics, it still said it was "Burning disc.....finishing." Not sure if that's relevant or not, but figured it was worth noting anyway.)

The last failed audio CD burn had error code 4220(0x0000107c). It happened on drive D: SAMSUNG CD-R/RW SW-224B on CDR media at speed 12X.

hmmmmm.
i think i found your drivers and downloads page at Emachines:
Emachines T-series T1150
but there's not a lot of items of interest available there.
on the other hand, according to Samsung's support site, there's a newer version of the firmware available for your SAMSUNG CD-R/RW SW-224B. you've got R201, and they have R205 available for download:
Samsung SW-224B
so it might be prudent to contact your Emachines technical support, tell them you're troubleshooting a burning issue, and asking them if the newer R205 firmware is compatible with the particular Emachines system that you have.

Can't burn issues error code 4250-4280

After several failed attempts at solving my burning issues with Apple support (who had no idea what to do) I have found something out. The new "Protected AAC" formatted songs will cause a "failed burn" error message. I own 2 different computers and have tried 2 different types of CD-Rs. I have found that Windows Media Player will burn just fine, and that in iTunes I can burn all my old music (under "kind" look for "AAC audio file") just fine also. So I seem to have norrowed it down to Apple's new protected formats called "Protected AAC audio file"
So far this is all I've got. Anyone else have any ideas?

-54 is a Permissions error that's right ...
What are you trying to copy/burn ?
What version of Toast are you running ?
Remove the DivX QuickTime Plug-In and try burning again as it can mess up some burns ...

For All Serious Burning Issues!!

If you are having serious burning issues and error messages, and after you have freed up atleast 5 gb of HD space on your STARTUP drive (Startup is the drive that your OS is running on) then go to:
http://superdrive.cynikal.net/
and download the appropriate Superdrive firmware for your computer. i have used this site several times. Make sure you follow the directions. This is a major change to the software that runs inside of your superdrive, but it usually does the trick for me when I have issues. If you have previously updated your firmware, and are now having issues, go back to the original firmware and see if that works, (it usually does for me). I have updated several times, and never had any issues. My superdrive is atleast 2 and a half years old with heavy use.
Not sure if Apple approves of doing this, but they don't seem to ever be very helpful with error messages, so this is the best solution for me.

Not really. You only need enough space to cover the amount of data being burned to the disc, which in most cases is 4.7 gb. You will need more if you are burning larger dvd's and/or dual layer. For years, I have only kept roughly 5 gb available on my system and haven't had any problems.

Image burn issue

Hi all, I am having the image burn issue on my sony vaio duo 11 like. Please check the following link for the images. In my case the burn is visible when the background is grey and I work in the desktop mode for some time. I request your feedback and help in solving this issue. http://bit.ly/11FTG08 [with comments] See the bottom. You can see Windows notification area there   You can clearly see a white navigation bar of google chrome which is opened in the desktop mode
  I have taken all of these pictures with my mobile camera which is 3 years old. Otherwise the imageburn is very clear and distinct to me. Best regards,Naveen.

kamesh419,
This is working as intended. It is the transparent function of Aero. If the user switches back to desktop view, you can see some of the Start Menu background. This is not a burn in issue.
If you want you can turn off Aero and the transparent image will go away both in the Start Menu and also from the Desktop view.
Turn off Aero
1)      Go to the Start Menu
2)      Type Computer
3)      Right click on Computer and select properties
4)      Click on Advanced System settings
5)      Select Settings under Performance
6)      Select “Adjust for best performance”
7)      Click apply and ok.

"Video bitrate too high", but DVDSP burned the same project before

I go the "Video Bitrate Too High" error. Normally I'd go back and "fix" it, but I just re-opened an old project. Same assets, same everything. Last time DVDSP burned it, this time it won't.
DVDSP 4.2.1

not sure if you're saying they were pre-encoded or not, If a previous project is coming up with warnings it did not have before and refuses to burn, you might try throwing away the PAR files associated with the assets - these may be giving DVDSP inaccurate info about the bitrate and GOP structure.

OSS 3D caused iTunes burning issues

A bit of information for those that have iTunes burning issues.
I installed OSS 3D v 1.62, a sound enhancer programme for iTunes on 14/08/06 and started having CD burning issues... iTunes wouldn't burn beyond 2 tracks and then froze before "finishing".
On uninstalling OSS 3D today 19/08/06, the iTunes problem I encountered were fixed.
If you have issues re burning check recently installed software.

update ... ran sfc /scannow as admin. windows reports 100% integrity.

Found solution to my CD burning issues

I posted a response to SoFLPhillyFan concerning my CD
burning issues. I may have been a bit hasty (sorry Apple).
I use MSI auto update for my chipset drivers. The auto
update indicated that I had the most recent drivers. This
was not true, as nVidia had a slightly more recent version.
Updating my chipset drivers solved the problem and I can
now burn CD's. Still, I did not have this problem prior to
the 7.X iTunes update (hmmmm....).

Try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restore via iTunes.

Itunes 8.01 cd burning issues. Please Help

wondering if anyone else has been experiencing the same issue i have in itunes 8.01. When i burn a disc now i have an array of issues. 1st, with the same media i used successfully before, sometimes when i attempt to burn a audio cd i get a dialog box that reads burn disc fail, unable to calibrate the laser for this media. It happens at various write speeds, so not sure what wrong. Also the few disc i was successful in burning skip during playback and will-not play in certain cd players. The bottom of the disc is scratch-less and everything appears normal. Lost at the moment. Anyone have a solution or suggestions please help. Or is their a certain type of cd that works best.
thank you
bac

Just got it back from the shop? Did you mention the CD burning issues when you took it in? It really sounds to me like you have drive problems more than iTunes problems. The difference is indicated by whether or not Finder recognizes any given disk or not.
If Finder does not recognize that the drive has a disk in it or can't read the disk, that is most likely a drive problem and is best resolved by Apple service.
A possible long term, spend money option is to purchase a good external optical drive. If you burn lots of disks, this option makes more sense. I have a LaCie drive that burns all the current formats plus has Light Scribe capability. I don't recall getting a coaster out of it. Plus I can move it from computer to computer.
"1 coaster in 5 with 7" means that he got 1 bad disk out of 5 burns with iTunes version 7. If you have been using Time Machine than you can restore the application from the applications folder some time back, when you had a previous version of iTunes. If not, restoring an older version becomes more tricky and I have to rely on the advice of others to tell us how to do that.
If you are not backing up your system with Time Machine or something else (Time Machine is really the best, I think), back up a couple files from your iTunes folder. Copy and save somewhere the 'iTunes Library' file as well as the 'iTunes Music Library.xml' file. If something happens and all your library info (a list of all the music you've added plus playlists, etc) can be restored by simply replacing those files in your iTunes folder with the ones you saved somewhere else. You need to update the saved files periodically as you add music or otherwise change things in your iTunes, but that is no big deal. Just periodically re-copy the files to the place where they are saved and click 'Replace' in the pop-up when prompted.
Hope this helps. Please let me know.

Let's all contact Apple about CD imports and burning issues

While reading through the posts here, it appears that there are alot of us with issues dealing with iTunes and CD imports and CD burning. Even using Quicktime 7.1.3, I still cannot even play a CD track. I can use other applications to import music, but the bottom line is that iTunes should let us import CD tracks. It doesn't. If you are having problems with these slow CD imports, or CD burning with iTunes 7, then we all need to contact Apple. I suggest that instead of trying to find a workaround, lets all get Apple to correct their iTunes application. When you open iTunes, click on iTunes in the toolbar across the top of your monitor and scroll down to the line "Provide iTunes feedback" Fill out the questions and describe exactly what CD import/burning issues that you are having. We will not hear back from Apple individualy, but if we all start letting them know directly that there is an issue, maybe they will get the message and fix these problems. We all appear to be passionate about Apple and iTunes. Lets get these problems resolved. Okay?

I am having no problems. I did with my Ti667 when the optical drive died.
I am onto the latest version of iTunes and can report no problems for me.
Oppp......... my iTS country changes and I changed back and my account is in good order.

DVDSP final burn issue

Finally getting to burn stage in my attempt to convert HD to SD letterbox but always get a "Video TS_Folder in build" that stops the progress. How would I remove/alter that?

Thanks, check my previous msg as to what I did. I tried all that Compression stuff and DVDSP and it all just didn't work, almost like I was missing one or two important points. Trouble with advice in this forum sometimes is that the helper presumes that the helpee knows what he does.
I appreciate it and all, but I'm just not good at Compression and DVDSP, and I have a friend much more tech than me coming over on the wk-end to show me step-by-step. I'm simply not there yet and any explanation has proved to be too complex, as dumb as that sounds, at least for me. There's always a step or two missing, but sometimes it works. Trouble with FCP also is that it has so many ways to do a single job.
I did accomplish my goal as indicated in the msg before yours, in a round-about way that probably is regarded as basic, but it worked, I got my letterbox DVDs.
thanks again

Building in DVDSP, Burning with Toast

If I build in DVDSP and burn with Toast will Toast also recognize the Opening Menus and Chapter Index Menu? or do I have to do something special? Thanks for the reply. Also just out of curiosity what does Toast do during the burn process that DVDSP doesn't?
G5 single 1.8 Mac OS X (10.4.5) 2x 160GB HDs, 250GB ext. 2.75GB RAM

If you build the project in DVDSP then all you need to do in Toast is get it to burn the folders onto a UDF disc (Universal Disk Format). There are several ways to do this in Toast, depending on the version that you have got. Whichever way you choose shouldn't mean you need to change any menus or anything else - Toast can simply create a DVD from your VIDEO_TS folder, or it can use a disk image and burn that. You can also set it to create a UDV DVD-ROM and drop the Video and audio_TS folders into the wondow... none of these methods will alter the content of the folders.
Toast gives you the opportunity to burn at slower speeds than DVDSP. This is good, since a slower burn results in a more compatible DVD-R. However, there are those who regularly burn at the speed of light and don't get any issues, so let's hope more of us can get to that standard soon! The burn speed in DVDSP is calculated for you on the basis of the media capability and the writer speed... it will choose the maximum possible from the combination available.

DVDSP 3 issue, desiring help

Hi there,
Looking for a little help on options for me to consider at this point. I am finishing up 42 min. film in FCE 3.5 and would like to author a good to high quality DVD for this project. But I've run into a snag.
I'm working with:
- iMac G4, 10.4.11, currently used for doing editing with FCE 3.5
- Mac Pro, 10.4.10, Dual Core Intel
- DVD Studio Pro 3
I had DSP3 on iMac, but then put it on the better machine and ran into issue that essentially says DSP3 is unsupported on Intel Mac, and may cause problems. I experienced problem on Mac Pro today (frozen desktop), and had just done install yesterday of DSP3.
My IMac has faulty DVD burner, so when I do burn DVD it will be on Mac Pro.
At $1200, I am unlikely to upgrade to FCP suite anytime soon.
I'm okay with scrapping DSP3 from Mac Pro, and to get that completely off my system, I could use help. I realize that Compressor 1.2 is likely the issue, so that along with QMaster and A.Pack, are items I'm ready to remove, pending response here.
I'd like my Mac Pro to be working again, error free.
But, right after that I'm going to desire to make sure I have program to burn good to high quality DVD of film I'm working on. Because I've had DSP3 in coffers for couple years, I've shied away from iDVD, but I do have latest version of that.
Suggestions, hints and fixes desired.
Much gratitude,
Jman

JMan, almost two years ago Final Cut Studio was upgraded to Universal Binary in order to be able to work on Intel Macs. You apparently missed this upgrade and DVDSP is useless on MacPro. It will do no harm if you keep it there but if you are concerned about disk space you can use AppZapper. Or you can look for the following on your system disk: Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Studio/DVD Studio Pro - and remove the folder manually. Its biggest part is templates, in DVDSP 4 more than 5 GB. I do not know if DVDSP 3 places the templates in the same folder as version 4 though, but you get the general idea. Also, if you have created customized templates for DVDSP in the past, remove them from your user library, the path is similar to the above, just replace Macintosh HD for User. Of course, remove the application itself.

To all experiencing burn issues since updating to last version of iTunes

To all that have been experiencing difficulties burning music since updating to iTunes6:
After reviewing this discussion board it seems obvious to me -I am not a technician but nonetheless- that the problems that we are experiencing are due to some kind of incompatibility between our PCs and Apple.
While some here have been very helpful in trying to resolve these issues, I find it disgusting that Apple does nothing. Itunes customer support do nothing. We are left to fend for ourselves, frustrated by the amount of money we have invested in building up our music collections in order fot them to be held hostage because Apple and/or iTunes will not address the issue.
Did anybody bother reading the software license upon updateing to the earliest version? Is it too early to talk of "class action" suits?
It seems logical to me that we will be heard better by Apple if we speak as a collective and not individuals. Maybe that way we could put more pressure on them to either fix what needs to be fixed or refund the money we have invested in iTunes.
As for me, iTunes has already lost me as a client. I won't download any more music because there is nothing I can do with it. That doesn't seem to matter to them. I suppose this is what happens when you get too big for your own britches!
Any ideas on how we can take down the bully????

Lost data from iTunes on upgrade? See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.
Restored an older backup to the device? If you're lucky your most recent photos may be in your Photo Steam.
Otherwise you may need to paint a fuller picture of the problem...

Cd burner issues with Nero, Atapi and DMA

Hello,
When i first build my AMD system with the specs below, everything was mostly fine on the IDE drive topic. Nero was burning fine, Alcohol 120 was working etc etc...
Recently when i decided to format my computer, things started to fail.
The OS install went fine, all drivers installed just fine with the exception of the NVidia SW drivers. When I opt to install these drivers, whether it be v 5.03, or 5.10, the system will hang if I insert a cd into the cd rom drive. It attempts to read, then the system will totally hang.
If these were uninstalled, it would work flawlessly. But that is off topic.
What i've read in these threads is that if I select to use PIO and not DMA on the cd rom ide channels in windows/bios, the burner would fine with Nero. With DMA turned on, the program will hang during the 'checking discs' window just before the burnging process begins. The burner doesnt even attempt to see the cdr in the drive.
But my question is, does anyone know why some of us need to disable DMA for the IDE drives/channels for it to work? I've read others were having problems reading from DVD drives etc with DMA enabled. Disabling DMA and using PIO only would see the DVD drive work fine.
Is this a known issue with the board or drivers?
BTW: I have 2 hdds on primary channel, and the single burner on the 2ndary channel as mater. Burner is an old Kodak/Mitsumi 4xCD burner, 2xCDRW.
Your thoughts will be much appreciated..
Many thanks.

Got some more information based on the advice on this thread.
I tried removing all the 12 IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, and once rebooted, winxp would fail to startup.
So I restarted with the last known working settings, then I narrowed it down to the middle one of each of the channels to be the most important.
- Primary IDE Channel 1
- Primary IDE Channel 2
- Primary IDE Channel 3
- Secondary IDE Channel 1
- Secondary IDE Channel 2
- Secondary IDE Channel 3
- Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller 1
- Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller 2
- Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller 3
After removing all 1 and 3's. A 'scan for hardware' change automatically detected them again and automatically installed them again with the MS drivers.
I have also tried the end ide connection from the 3 connector ide cable I was using, and still no luck.
Channel 0 with both the hdds installed are using the red round ide cable. While Channel 1 with the single burner is installed with the standard flat grey ide cables.
Bagmaster: This is the funny thing though. When i first built the computer, the burner was working absolutely fine with Nero. It wasn't until I format the computer and decided to use 5.10 drivers that it gave me problems. I then did another format with the old 5.03 drivers and yet, still no luck...
The problem mysteriously popped up after the format, and just doesn't want to go away.
tomkas: I may attempt your idea. I will let you know what comes from it. Hope it doesn't force me to make yet another format of the system.. I have done once too many on this computer than I'd done for my old Intel system for 4 years...
syar2003: Hmm, i'm not quite sure if these grey ide cables are 40 or 80pins. I've been using these since the early 2000's with my intel computer. Heck, i didn't even know they upped the pins?? I thought ide cables fit all new and old drives [whether they be hdd or cd drives]
