Ejetcs DVD during burn

Hi
I exported an iMovie project to iDVD, I launched the burn process, all seemed to go well,
But during the final "Multiplexing and burning" stage, the DVD ejected for no reason before the burn was done, when I push the DVD back in iDVD doesn't recognize it and the process is stopped.
I checked and the DVD is blank, I thought the DVD might be faulty so i tried with multiple other ones but sill the same problem.
I don't understand because I've burned many movies through iDVD with no problem.
What setting could I change to maybe help?
Thanks for you help

Hi
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
No of Colors - must be set to millions

Error messages during burning DVD audio

When burning a musical DVD audio 96/24 in Toast imported from an i Tunes playlist I get the message:" file VTS-06 etc inaccessable .
Data Fork -39 , plus a Mac system error. Mostly the error occurs during burning , sometimes during simulation but this happens rarely.
Can someone tell me where the problem is. many thanks

Here's what the Help Menu offers:
Exporting a movie to iDVD
Once your movie is ready for viewing, iMovie HD can automatically export it to an iDVD project that you can burn on a DVD. You can then view your DVD on a television using a DVD player or on your computer screen using the Apple DVD Player.
Note: Before you export your movie to iDVD, you can add chapter markers to it so that viewers can quickly review different sections of the movie on DVD. If you've added chapter markers, they are exported with your movie, and you can use them to add scene selection menus to your iDVD project.
Not all computers support iDVD. See your computer's manual to find out if your computer does.
To export your movie to iDVD:
Choose Share > iDVD.
Click the "Share selected clips only" checkbox if you only want to share clips you selected.
Click Share.
iDVD opens and your movie appears in a new project in iDVD.
For more information about using iDVD, choose Help > iDVD Help when iDVD is open.
After you have addressed the above then follow this:

"Errors Found During Burning Process"

Hi,
Having sucessfully burned AVI movies using iDVD in the past I have started getting errors. iDVD now does the same thing regardless of the movie i'm trying to burn and the media I use.
Having selected Best Quality (due to the film size), the menu rendering works fine, as does the prolonged job of encoding the video. When iDVD gets to the Audi encoding bit, just before it starts to burn the DVD itself, iDVD ejects the disc and states: Errors Found During Burning Process.
Clicking on the arrow to get more info it states: "The recording device reported the hardware error: Tracking servo failure. (0x09, 0x01.)" Bizarrely, the main iDVD progress window states both 'Cleaning Up' and 'Writing Lead-In' and the only way to get out if it is to force quit.
I've read a few posts on here and tried a couple of things such as trashing the plist file and reparing permissions. I also booted up the diagnostic disc to see if it could see a problem with the optical drive. But nothing has solved the problem.
Any ideas?
For reference, I'm running iDVD 5.0.1 on Tiger on a 1.8 G5 iMac with 1GB RAM.
Appreciate any help you can give me.
Neil

Colleagues:
Ran into the same error, # -34506. Definitely frustrating as I was burning a DVD of an iMovie that I'd spent many hours editing. The iMovie is only 30 miniutes in length, so I don't think it's a size issue. iDVD went through each one of it's steps in burn DVD sequence. However, 45 minutes later when processing is finished, the message reads: "Burning Finished, Errors were found during the burning process." Clicked to see the detail: "The error # -34506 was reported." Checked the DVD and nothing was burned!!! The same thing happens when I opt for disk image. No img file is produced. This is especially frustrating as it looks like it all but completed processing.
Does anyone know what Error # -34506 specifically indicates? How do you fix this? Does it only happen in a specific sequence? And, is Apple aware of the problem?
Thanks!

DVD-R Burning troubles...

Here is a brief list of my problems so far...
Recognized and Read several CD-R's as well as a hand full of DVD's but failed to recognize 2 DVD-ROM's (Movies).
Tried 4x and failed during verification.
Switched to 1x and received the following message during burn:
Burning the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed. (Error code 0x80020022)
Switched to 2x and apparently succeeded.
Notes:
Burning 4.28 GB .jpg .bmp .avi .psd
On Memorex DVD-R 8x 4.7GB
MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857 Firmware revision HAE4
Is there any possiblity at all that this is a firmware issue?

UPDATE April 10, 2006
My laptop has been returned to me complete with a "new" Super Drive. I popped in a new DVD-R and attempted to burn the same files that I mentioned above.
This first attempt met with success at 4x. I'll continue using the drive (I have plenty more to burn) and report back here if there are any problems.
If you're having the same issues that I had then the following information may be helpful. The "new" drive I received is the same model and firmware revision as the one that failed to work. Also, the drive exhibits some new behaviors. When pressing the eject button on the previous drive it would extend the disc out past the center hole. This "new" drive only extends the disc to the top of the center hole. About a cm less. Furthermore when pressing the eject button with no disc inserted my previous drive would make a sound. The "new" drive remains silent but I can feel a bit of vibration.
I sent this laptop in with a full battery and it was returned with half a charge. From Recent Items (Apple Menu) I can see that they ran DVD Player and System Profiler. I'm not sure if they burned a DVD with the "new" drive since Finder usage isn't reported in that menu.
I hope this information is helpful to somebody.
Good luck

IDVD 4 now freezes the entire computer during burning

Hello,
iDVD 4 now freezes my entire computer during burning somewhere around stage 3. I can't even force quit. This never happened before - it does so while burning a project that had been burned successfully many times in the past and also new projects. I did have a bad RAM problem weeks ago - which is fixed now. Tried fixing permissions and cleared out enough free space. This is wierd - it has been working for years.
Thanks very much,
NIck M.

Error found during burning process

I am having a problem burning my iDVD project to disk. I'm using DVD-R disks. The message I get is "Errors found during burning process". The burning process seems to work correctly all the way through until it gets to the last step - "burning".

There are lots of things that can cause problems burning to disk.
I suggest that you save your project as a disk image (an option on the iDVD file menu) and see if that is successful. If it is successful, that would eliminate issues related to iDVD, encoding, and source material. After that, I would look to what brand of DVD you are using (Verbatim, Sony, Fuji, and Hp are oft recommended here), what burn speed (4x or lower is best), whether all iLife programs are up to date, whether you have any 3rd party or Quicktime plug-ins that might be interfering, whether you have sufficient hard disk space to burn (20 Gb is recommended, although 5GB would be absolute minimum).

DVD problem burning with iDVD..... PLEASE HELP ME !

hello,
i have a big problem during burning a dvd of a presentation of pictures from iphoto by idvd.
When the burning processing is almost finish i get this error:
"error during formatting process"
I never had this kind of problem previously,so i don't konw what's going on!
I am really worrie about it(i tried to change label of dvd,and i have 125 Gb free in my mac)
Please,anybody can help me?
thank you
alessandro

HI,
First, you tried different labels? I take this to mean you tried different media? Verbatim, Maxell to name just a few might be good.
Second... try repairing disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
Next, please click My Settings on the right side of this window and tell us which Mac you have. The more details you provide, the easier to help you. Your profile indicates you are running 10.5 but you posted in the Tiger forum 10.4.. please update your profile.

DVD Studio burning problem error message: "remove the VIDEO_TS folder from the Build Location"; where is build location

DVD Studio burning problem error message: "remove the VIDEO_TS folder from the Build Location"; where is build location?

Thanks Shane I followed your instructions and it turned out pretty well. One quick question, Im working with DVD Studio Pro 4, how do i implement a theme into my project? I cant even fin where thay are located. Thanks.

DVD's burning low contrast

Why are my DVD's burning in low contrast (with a lifted pedestal/black level)?
The contrast is higher when viewing the movie on Quick time and iDVD player.
Any thoughts? Drive? DVD's?
I'm using Maxell printable DVD's.

That indicates a conflict or corruption in the original account. To resolve that is laborious and time-consuming. While logged into the newly created admin account, delete the bad account, selecting the save data option, recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the recreated original account. If the problem's solved, open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, open the /Library/Preferences/ folder from the saved data, open the current /Users/restored account/Library/Preferences/ folder, and slowly copy plist files from the saved data folder to the current one that don't exist in it. Log out and back in to ensure there's no conflict and things still work correctly.

Hi
How did You do the burn ?
• There are two flavours of DVDs - Data-DVD and Video-DVD
• Brand and type of DVD used
• Burn Speed
• Free Space on Start-up (Mac OS) hard disk
Did You try Your DVD on
• Your Mac
• On other DVD-player

Question about choosing an external dvd/cd burner

The burning speed listed in my iTunes preferences goes up to 24x, then "Maximum Pssible". I am thinking of purchasing a LaCie DVD/CD burner that has write(48x)/rewrite(32x)/read(40x). When using with my iMac does this mean that I can burn at 48x with the iTunes burning preferences set to Maximum or does the maximum burning capabilities with my iMac top out at 24x?
Also, the internal burner device (a Matshita model) seems to have something called buffer protection. Can anyone explain what buffer protection is and is a mandatory consideration when using second, external player/burners?
Thanks for any help.

The 24X currently in iTunes is reflecting the speed that is capable of the internal burner in your iMac.
Also, the internal burner device (a Matshita model) seems to have something called buffer protection. Can anyone explain what buffer protection is and is a mandatory consideration when using second, external player/burners?
This is to ensure that your burner does not run out of data while it is burning. If the burner runs out of data, the burn will fail.

DVD-R burn error "medium write error"

Just received a refurbished iMac today. Doing a basic Disc Copy from Disk Utility and burn one disc OK. The second disc ejects half way through burn and "medium write error" pops up. All the disc I pull out are blazing hot as well. I don't know if this has anything to do with it.
I am trying another burn now. Has anybody seen this error or had DVD-R burning issues?
Thanks,
Adam

I saw this using Toast 9 -- turned out I had turned on the DVD-DL support by accident and I didn't have a DL DVD drive.

Hello - I used a Sony DVD to burn 350 songs. When I put the DVD into another computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. What's preventing songs from being ripped?

Hello - I used a Sony DVD to burn 350 songs from my iTunes library to share with a friend. When I put the DVD into my friend's computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. Anybody know what's preventing me from ripping what's on the DVD?

When I put the DVD into my friend's computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes.
The import command only works with audio CDs. So if you burned the files in mp3 format, try instead using the "File > Add file to library" or "File > Add folder to library" commands.

Logitech external USB DVD reader/burner model LDR-PMD8U2LBK not recognized.

Got a external USB DVD reader/burner Logitech model LDR-PMD8U2LBK.
I plug the device, use the adapter but nothing happens. I tried to boot the computer with the driver plugged in, again, nothing. If I put a DVD in the driver, I hear the machine buffer but on the screen, nothing. Checked all the view options, everything is selected. It doesn't appear in the Disk Utility neither. Tried to open a DVD with VLC Player, to no avail. Checked on Logitech's site, there are no drivers for this driver. The seller told me that it should be compatible with my black macbook, I guess there is still a possibility that it is not...

You shouldn't need drivers for a USB or Firewire connected external device.

When you watch on your Mac, it is at or near HD 1920x1080 pixels (about 2 megapixels), depending on the resolution of your screen. Most photos today are 5 megapixels or greater, depending on your camera, but anything over 2 megapixels must be reduced when put in a video.
When you create a DVD, you must further reduce it to 640x480, standard definition. This is about 0.3 megapixels. iDVD will do this for you.
You can fix by creating an HD movie in iMovie. You can Share this using Share/Export Using QuickTime to an MP4 container using the h.264 codec. You can then put this movie on your PS3 using a USB thumb drive.
That should give you good resolution.
(NEVER MIND, YOU SAID PS2 not PS3, my apologies)
