DVR to iDVD

I remember seeing a tutorial on how to connect your DVR to your Mac and burn your recorded program directly to DVD via FireWire. Does anyone know where this tutorial is?

I could only find one or two actual tutorials:

(unsupported audio track)
Plus I found the following links which may help you find what you are looking for:

Burn DVD from DVR via iDVD?

Is it possible to move a recorded television program from one's DVR to the Mac and then burn the program to a DVD using iDVD? If so, how?

You DVR needs to have a DV out in order to do this directly. You will use one of the firewire ports on your computer to capture the video/audio. If your DVR only has composite video/audio, or a coax output to the tv, then you will need to use the method given above. Either via a camcorder that will convert the analog signals to digital, or a separate converter box (i.e. Canopus) that does the same.

IDVD 5 Pioneer DVR 109 and OS 10.4.3: Double layer support ?

My Pioneer DVR 109 (non Apple firmware) hasn´t been recognized by iDVD as a double layer drive. I heard rumors that from 10.4.3 on many non Apple drives will be supported by the system and indeed when clicking the profiler it now says APPLE SUPPORTED instead of VENDOR SUPPORTED. Unfortunately, when opening iDVD there is still only the 4 GByte option available. Any thoughts or ideas what this means?
Thanks and regards
Wolfgang Fogel

If you happened to buy your 109 from MCE Technologies, or some other vendor that provided an installer to provide iDVD native double layer support, use the uninstaller supplied by the vendor (or call their tech support department).
If I understand it properly the file that was modified under these schemes was System/library/frameworks/DiskRecording.frameworks/Version/A/Frameworks /DiscRecordingEngine.framework/Version/A/Resources/
VendorSupport.drprofile. The original should have been renam ed,saved and replaced with one from the vendor.
Now you will need to restore the original.

Pointing iDVD to Pioneer DVR-111D?

I've installed a second newer Superdrive in my MDD G4. It is a Pioneer DVR-111D. How do I change the preference in iDVD to burn a file with my new drive? With iDVD open and a disc in the new drive, iDVD only accesses my older Pioneer 104 and asks me to insert a disc.

What version of iDVD are you using? Version 6 has support for non-Apple installed drives. Can the drive burn from iTunes (for example)? Select the new drive in iTunes' preferences and see if iDVD sees the drive. When I was on 10.3.9 this is what I did to get iDVD to see the new drive.
Regards,

Can you burn dl disc in iDVD 5 with a Pioneer DVR-111D?

Guess I must have not posted that right the first time.

Is it installed as an internal drive? or and external burner?
iDVD 5 doesn't support external burners (directly).

Anyone Using iDVD 4.01 and 10.4.3 Without Crashing???????

This problem is spanning three Macs: Mdd dual 1GHz (Pioneer109 1.5.8), Quicksilver 2002 Dual 1GHZ (Pioneer 109, A09 1.5.8), and dual 500MHz (Pioneer 107D A707).
It gets to Burning Stage 4 and Quits.
It never gets out of Stage 3 (it just stays there, sometimes it takes a Force Quit out of iDVD and FInder and/or power button forced shutdown).
ACTUALLY -- I've noticed a symptom of this behavior, the Activity Monitor maxes one processor for a minute or two while the other processor shows almost no activity, then it switches processors for the same then switches back (meaning it's flaked out).
I have saved projects as iDVD archives and ran them on the same box and on other boxes -- same problems.
When I actually get a burned disk, iDVD will Unexpecdly Quit at the end of burning stage.
I have submitted numerous reports to Apple off at least three 10.3.4 machines. I can work on 1GB layered files in Photoshop all day long, and I can render DV footage in six-hour runs with no ram/system/disk issues (on any of these machines).
I have used New User accounts and performed all system and disk maintenance.
I suspect there is a problem here????????????????????????????
I am preparing DV movies in Final Cut Pro 3.0.4 as FCP files, bringing them into iDVD like I have many time prior to 10.3.4.
These FIREDRILLS are extremely time consuming...
Dual 1GHz MDD (not FW) Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I actually got another good burn (with an Unexpected Quit at the end):

IDVD, DVD -R and DVD +R

I have iMovie 5.0.2, iDVD 4.0.1 and the following Superdrive:
PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-107D:
Firmware Revision: A707
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
Cache: 2000 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW
Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
Media: No
I made a movie in iMovie and transferred it to iDVD. I inserted a blank DVD +R disk, but the drive spat it out and iDVD said 'Insert a DVD -R disk'.
As can be seen from the above extract from my 'About this Mac', my drive will burn DVD +R disks; and, indeed, I subsequently successfully burnt my movie onto a DVD +R disk by using Toast Titanium.
I should like to ask four questions:
1) Am I right in deducing that it is my iDVD 4.0.1 that is balking at the DVD +R disk and not my burner?
2) As I have bought a pile of blank DVD +R disks, it would be good to be able to use them, and I like using iDVD. So is there a later version of iDVD that will burn DVD +R disks?
3) If the answer to 2) is 'Yes', from where can I obtain such a later version without buying the whole of iLife '08? (I say '08, because my OS X is Tiger, not Leopard.)
4) What are the relative advantages and disadvantages of +R and -R disks?
Thank all you experts very much in anticipation of becoming educated.

I'm sorry to have to revisit this so soon. I downloaded Patchburn and went through the process of installing profiles (actually unnecessarily because my burner is the official Apple-installed one) and the iDVD4 support files. But now what?
My problem is not to make iDVD recognize my burner; it does even without Patchburn. It is to be able to save an iDVD4 project as a disk image as suggested by John. If I double-click on Patchburn to open it, it just wants me to go through the process of installing the profiles again. So where does saving as a disk image come in? There is no Help documentation or Contact information on the Patchburn website and the FAQs don't help, so please, John or anyone else, point me in the right direction.

IDVD create disk image larger than DVD-R capacity

Here's the background:
- I made an iMovie 6 in 16:9 NTSC that is 1:32:00:06 long. I put that into iDVD 6, use the 5.0 Theme called "Wedding White", no slideshow, just a few photos and one 128k audio AAC file for menu music. Motion menu right now is about 5min45sec, but I can change that no problem.
- In iDVD 6's "Project info", left hand column shows "NTSC", "Widescreen (16:9)", "Best Quality", "Single-Layer (SL) - 4.2GB"; all correct.
Right hand column - Project Duration is 97:47min, Motion Menus is 5:46 of 7:30, Tracks 1 of 99, Menus 3 of 99; all green.
"DVD Capacity" was shown as ~3.3GB before the burning.
Here's the problem:
- When I first burned directly onto a single-layer DVD-R, an error will come on during burning or multiplexing near the end. Disc will eject, and the disc IS PLAYABLE on all DVD players. Only problem is that the movie will end (or says "Disc scratched or dirty", then crashes DVD Player on my Mac) at around 1:30:50; about 1min 11sec short. iDVD will also hang, and need to be forced quit.
- If I check that finished DVD-R with Disk Utility, it'll show:
--Capacity 4.4GB (4,706,074,624)
--Used 4.4GB (4,739,385,344)
- Same results with two decent media, a Sony 16x and a Ritex G05 8x.
- After reading a lot of posts in this discussion board, I tried two things:
1. Clean up my primary HD, which was down to <10GB free. I realized that I need double the disk space to properly burn. Now, it's at around 30GB free.
2. Instead of direct burn, I saved it as Disc Image. Results:
-- Video_TS file totally fine when played with DVD Player.
-- Disc Utility shows: Capacity 4,739,923,968 Bytes, Used 4,739,385,344 Bytes
But when I tried to burn that image onto a disc in Disk Utility, it says the media doesn't have enough room.
3. I went back to iDVD 6's "Project Info", and the "DVD Capacity" bar is now filled, yellow and says "4.2GB of 4.2GB".
[I actually tried earlier with a slightly different version with longer motion menus, and a slightly longer movie. And the DVD it tried to burn is even larger, at 4,847,159,296 Bytes. Similar results, but that DVD will end about 4 minutes short. But I didn't write down all the iDVD 6 details that time.]
SOOOOOO....
It seems to me that iDVD 6 is miscalculating its rendering or compression ratio, and is creating a final disc image larger than the capacity of a single-layer DVD-R, even though all parameters are set and displayed correctly.
For me, I'll cut down on the motion menu duration to see if that will help, as I'm right now JUST BARELY over the capacity.
Because of the early audio problem with iMovie/iDVD 6, this is the my first "finished" iDVD 6 product. Before, I have had no problem with movies that are close to the 120-minute limit, though this is the first time I use a 5.0 Theme with motion menus.
So, any ideas, any comments? Please post. Also, what else should I do besides posting here to let Apple and other users know of this problem? Thanks!

An update:
I cut down the loop duration of the motion menus, from 5:46 to 2:50. The resulting disc image is down to 4.25GB (4,563,716,096 bytes) and will fit onto a single-layer DVD-R.
So, I finally made my first successful DVD using iDVD 6. Still don't know why this has been such an adventure compared to earlier iLife versions.

IDVD ejects disk before burn is complete

I am attempting to burn a large combined video and data DVD project (6.8 GB), and encountering a problem in which iDVD ejects the disk from the drive just BEFORE the burn reaches completion. The progress bar just sits there at 100% saying that its last task is done, but never actually indicates completion (even if I wait several hours). The only way out is to hit the Cancel button.
I have tried burning both in Best Quality and in Profession Quality Encoding -- both exhibit the same problem. Burning to a disk image completes successfully, but iDVD warns that disks burned from such an image will not work correctly in some players, so it is not useful to me.
As for the DVD produced, the video content is corrupted -- some parts play, but others just get stuck, or worse yet, hang the player. The DVD-ROM data contents seem to be there in the directory -- but the files are corrupted, apparently having never actually been written to the disk.
The drive in use is the one which shipped with this MacPro1,1 (PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-112D). The target disk is a Memorex DVD+R DL. iDVD version 7.0.3 (1110).
I hope someone out there can help, as my project is already overdue...
Thanks in advance,
Josh

I had the same problem burning a 2 hour, 33 minute video to an HP DVD+R DL using iDVD 6 on Professional Quality. All of the files are there and nothing is corrupted, but iDVD did eject the disc and showed a "Done" dialog box, but the program still showed that there was "less than one minute remaining" (much like the odd flaw in iMovie when importing a large AVI where the program freezes with "less than one minute remaining," but really requires an additional 20 minutes to finish importing). The disc was burned using the factory superdrive, HL-DT-ST DVDRW GSA-S10N.
Now the DVD will only play about the first hour of video on any DVD player, including my Mac - it says it's "skipping over damaged area."
If there is any advice out there on how to fix this problem, or any explanation of why iDVD ejects the disc before it is done burning, it would be greatly appreciated.

DVR-110 External FireWire Case Recommendation??

Hi everyone,
I'm running a MDD G4 with an original DVR-104 DVD burner. I've bought a DVR-110 DVD Burner and want to connect via FireWire to be able to choose between the two burners when creating DVDs.
Can anyone recommend a Fire Wire DVD drive enclosure?
Thanks for you help.

Hi again,
I wonder if anyone can steer me in the right direction with this external dvd burner question?
I looked around online and at some electronic stores, but I'm afraid I'm stuck on the basic question; what kind of external enclosure should I be looking for? Everything I see is for hard drives with no apparent tray for loading discs.
Can someone offer any advice on the correct terminology I should be using in my search?
I have a dvr-110 superdrive that I would like to connect via firwire for external burning through iDVD.
Thanks for any and all help:)

DVD won't play in my DVR player

I've read the other posts on this already, but they don't seem to address what I believe is my issue.
I took an mp4 movie into iDVD as "One step DVD from movie", it took 8 hours to burn a 120 minute movie. When the screen said "done" it also said there was 21 minutes left to go. I clicked "close" and it popped an error that it wasn't finished, so I clicked on "continue", I left it go for another hour and the screen never changed from the done/21 minutes screen so this time I clicked "close" and "cancel".
The DVD plays on my MBP, though I'm not crazy about the quality. When I put it in my Panasonic DVR it won't play at all. I know it's not the media, as this is the same media I use in the DVR to burn movies with never a problem (Memorex DVD+Rdl).

Greetings,
I would not rule out the media. You can have a bad disk in a stack, they are just bits of plastic after all.
I would also suggest using DVD-R rather than +R for better compatibility with more DVD Players.
Open your iDVD project.
Go to Advanced > Delete Encoded Assets
Go to iDVD > Preferences > Advanced and lower the Preferred DVD Burning Speed to as low as you can stand. The lower the number the more likely the disk is to be recognized by various DVD Players.
Burn again.
Hope that helps.

SuperDrive not supported in iDVD 5.0.2- what to do?

Ok, I am in serious trouble and appealing to anyone with knowledge of iMacs since 2002.
I have an iMac G4 Flat Panel. It was recently updated with Tiger, Mas OS X Version 10.4.11 (only weeks before Panther was released!) This contains the programs iMovie HD 5.0.2 and iDVD 5.0.1.
Ok, now backtrack. Before the upgrade, I had worked on a project in iMovie 2.1.1 and burned in to DVD via iDVD 2.1. I even used the blank DVD that came with the iMac when I first purchased it in early 2002. The DVD burner is the original that came with this iMac; Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-104.
Today, now fast-forward to today. I am working on an extensive project for a massive car registry. The movie is 119 mins, and was created in iMovie HD 5.0.2. I am trying to burn it to disk via iDVD 5.0.1. I started using Memorex and Sony DVD-Rs, both which the disk drive promptly spit out before I could pull up Disk Utility.
I then bought Verbatim DVD-Rs and all seemed well until a message came up that said "Your Mac does not have a supported SuperDrive. Please note that while you will be able to work with iDVD projcts, you will not be able to burn a DVD disc."
So let me get this straight: the drive supported projects made in iMovie 2.1.1 and iDVD 2.1 (and running barely 45 mins.), but now it does not because I am using iMovie HD 5.0.2 and iDVD 5.0.1?
Please do not tell me I need a new disk drive. Can I downgrade iDVD to just iDVD 5.0.? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx!

PB isnt all it claims to be.
see this thread.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1800496&tstart=0
also with "all the cds" you have burned maybe you just wore it out?
you could take it to a local comp tek (not apple) and have them check it.
also check out other world computing (OWC) on the web.
really good source for apple hardware

The burn to the PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06A drive failed?

I was wondering if anyone ever found a solution to this problem? This is the error message I get when I try to burn a DVD in iPhoto.
"The burn to the PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06A drive failed. The disc drive didn't respond properly and can't recover or retry."
I am trying to back up all my photos in iPhoto to DVD. I am using iPhoto 11 and I currently run Mac OS X 10.6.8. I made about 10 DVD copies earlier before this problem started without any problems. Now I get this message all the time. I tried burning a movie DVD in iDVD and it worked with no problem so I do not think the DVD burner is defective. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Same for me here...no luck with TDK DL DVD +R. Seems that this drive is extremely picky with DL supports (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1181990).

Cannot burn DVD (using iDVD, and iMac G5 with Superdrive)

Hi. I'm trying to burn an iMovie onto a DVD-R (16x). I have an iMac G5 w/ Superdrive (PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K04F). I have plenty of available disc space. iDVD goes through the entire burn process, then at the very end it spits out the disc with these errors:
The recording device reported the error #8: No additional sense information. (0x00, 0x00.)
The recording device reported the media error: Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.)
Can someone PLEASE help me? What am I doing wrong?
THANK YOU!

Could be the brand of media you are using. Most users here find the most reliable to be Verbatim DVD-R.
Also, try burning at a lower speed.
Using 16x DVD media is fine - in fact it is difficult to buy any other - but there is a consensus in the Apple Support Forums that a slower burn is a better burn and that the most reliable brands are Verbatim, Maxell and Fuji, all DVD-R, burned at 2x or 4x (slow burns are better burns!). I always use Toast for burning.
I generally use Verbatim and when I can't get those, Fuji, and have never had a coaster from either.
Plenty of coasters in the early days from Sony, TDK and a few others.
The term "Best" means the fastest speed that the drive told Toast it can write to a specific disc. The drive's firmware and info on the disc decide what speed burns are available. When you press the speed setting button in Toast (after inserting a disc) you'll likely see some speeds in italics and some in bold face. The ones in bold face are supported by that media on that drive. The fastest one is what Toast calls Best.
Audio CDs in particular should be burned at the lowest supported speed.
Verification is a good indicator the disc is burned okay. However, other DVD players can still have problems with the disc. Media problems with various drives is not uncommon. Slower burning may reduce the chance of those problems, and is one of the reasons why RW (read/write) media is always rated slower than DVD-R.
There are some interesting facts here:
http://www.osta.org/technology/dvdqa/dvdqa4.htm and here:
http://www.osta.org/technology/dvdqa/dvdqa4.htm
But many will tell you that the 'slower burn is best' theory is outdated. Who really knows? At the end of the day, if your home-made DVD was verified by Toast and will play anywhere on anybody's DVD player, then that is the result we are all after!
