Encoding/Burn disc error

I have a handful of classic movies that I would like to backup. After the decoding from Handbrake, I get an m4v file of 1.76 GB. When I bring it into iDVD, the total is 7.64, 176 min.
The DVD type is set up for DL (7.7). I use Verbatim 8.5 GB.
Encoding is High Quality. Aspect Ratio is 4:3. Original is 16.9.
To keep the file smaller, I use an early non-animated theme.
The DVD burner is a Mac/iDVD compatible that I have used for awhile.
At the end of the encoding session, I keep getting encoding and burn disk errors.
I also tried to use a converted QT and cut segments to make a smaller file, but I lose the sound sync.
There are no red flags in the project info window.
IDVD 7.0.4, 50 GB to spare.
What am I doing wrong?

Anything here help?

Cannot Burn Discs / Error 4450

My iTunes will not burn my selected playlist. I insert a disc, it initializes, begins writing my songs however stops and ejects the disk. An error message pops up,
"attempt to burn disc failed. unknown error occurred 4450"
Once this happens to the disc, the disc is no longer considered blank even though the attempt was cancelled per the computer. I am wasting discs and very frustrated since I was told itunes is very user-friendly. Please help.
Here are the details about my computer:
Pavilion HP Slimline s7500y PC
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition 2002
iTunes 7.0.2.16
Intel R Celerom RM Processor 1.70 GHz, .99 GB of RAM
I need very specific instructions. I am not a technology savvy person; minimal knowledge of computers. Thanks.

I am having the same problem! I have tried everything that has been suggested and nothing has worked. I've downloaded the new version of iTunes, checked for updates on my drivers, reducted the speed and the playback gap, and nothing is working. The CD burns to about the 3rd song, then gives the error message and now that CD is no longer read as empty (I can no longer use it have been forced to throw many away). I'm wasting CDs here! Any help would be greatly appereciated.

Can't Burn Disc Error Code -54

What is going on? can anyone help? Every time i try to burn something in toast it tells me it can't burn the disc because i don't have the proper access permissions and displays error code -54 afterwards...

-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 ...

Burn Disc Error Code 0x8020063

I've been trying to burn photo files onto a disc for the past 4 days. Initially I was attempting to burn raw photos to a disc and ended up converting the images to JPEG. I've tried using Finder, iPhoto and Apeture and all three programs give me the same error message "This disc could not be verified and might be unrediable. Try again using a new, blank disc. (Error Code 0x80020063)" - I've gone through 8 or 9 blanks discs so far on two separate computers. Any suggestions

Have you tried a different brand of discs? Have you tried cleaning the drive's lens?

Burning Disc Error 0x8002006E

Continually getting this error when burning a disk on my iMac. What's going on ?
Burning using Finder.

Hello,
Make sure you are using CD-R, not CD+R. Also, try a different media. Verbatim, Maxell, Sony...
Also, make sure you have sufficient hard disk space to do this. Right click your MacintoshHD icon, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click General. Make certain you have a minimum of 15% available drive space.
Also, try deleting this file: com.apple.finder.plist /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from your Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
Also, run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. Launch Disk Utility) Applications/Utilities Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid and click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit Disk Utility when it's finished and reboot.

Burning Disc Error 4251

I'm attempting to burn an audio cd, but as soon as it appears to burn the first song, the cd is spit out and I get the error 4251. This is so frustrating because I have no idea what the error message means. Any ideas?
Windows XP Burning an audio CD

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. Just don't buy anything else from iTunes for now.
Anyone else have any ideas

Burn disc error 4000 - how can i fix this???

I am trying to burn CD's of music and randomly keep getting this error message - sometimes I can do a CD and then other times I get this message at the end so there is no consistancy in why it is happening....
I see this has been a problem for other people and yet there doesn't seem to be an answer to this???
Please help - I work for a choir and have to produce a lot of music CD's for people and I'm wasting huge amounts of time and money on CD's because of this error.
Thanks

PE8 and Encoding/Burning Error: Unknown Error:2131042562

Hello all:
I'm new to the forum and came across an issue. I had initially responded to an old post but at the direction of a couple veterans they guided me into doing a fresh post and to provide a lot more detail up front (thank you Bill & Steve). I apologize if I get too wordy everyone. Here it goes:
The end result is that I started working on a big project and when selecting "share" I'd burn to a DVD. It would go through all the processes of encoding and on the final step towards the end Premiere would give me the following message: Unknown Error: 2131042562. However a couple times it appeared I got further in which it would say it was burning to disc and then my system would reboot. Hard to say for sure what state it was at because I'd typically miss the reboot due to length of encoding process. To provide a little history, I suspected my system was infected a few months ago so I decided to rebuild and in the process upgrade the OS. I was running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit. I ended up doing a low-level format and installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Followed the rebuild to a "T" plus have an IT background and have been building PCs for many years. Prior to rebuild I didn't appear to have a problem and burning discs from within PE worked. This is first attempt to burn disc through PE since the rebuild. Everything looks fine with latest drivers installed and installed in the order that Dell documents. Enough of that and let me get to PC spec's and the project details.
Dell XPS 8100
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
Intel i7-860 2.8GHz Quad Core
8GB RAM
Intel SATA RAID Controller - 3400 Series
2 x Seagate Barracuda 750GB HDD, 7200RPM SATA 32MB Cache (ST3750528AS) in RAID1 Configuration
Single partition, C:\ Drive, with 597GB free (probably not optimal for performance)
NVidia GeForce GTS 240 Display Adapter
DVD/BLURAY Combo burner: HLDS BH30N (can burn bluray) - running latest firmware A103
Pagefile: System Managed; min 16MB, recommended 12226MB, currently allocated 8151MB
Video camera used: JVC Z-HD300AU (Full HD 1920x1080; AVCHD)
Project:
Basically putting together a dance team video for my daughter's end of season banquet. It's a compilation of both mine and another person's video. I used my camera and the other individual's was also a JVC but not High Def.
Timeline - Just over 38 minutes
Settings; NTSC --> AVCHD-->Full HD 1080i 30 5.1 Channel
Intro was a "Universal Studios" intro that I found on the internet-->MPEG-4 Movie
Had 3 PE title screens with some effects and seperate audio playing a .m4a song
From there probably a total of 9 video clips consisting of other person's video--> .MOD file extension
Then has 20 photos with title screen with the girls with both the photo and names fading in/out.
During slideshow I had another audio soundtrack playing in background--> .m4a
Then came another 20 video clips mostly from my camera --> .MTS file extension
Throughput the video I either used some fade in/out between video clips or used some of PE's transitions
What I've done for testing:
- I tested the burner and burned a data disc with Roxio without issue.
- I created a new project using same NTSC settings. I first only took .MOD files and tried ripping and then tried it again with only using some of my clips (.MTS). Both were unsuccessful.
- I then changed NTSC format and install of Full HD I just select "HD 1080i 30 5.1 Channel". Again just creating a much smaller project with the steps prior and still no luck.
- I've also tried using bluray media instead of DVD+R but again it did not work.
- I've even disabled McAfee during the process of burning to disc to see if that made a difference.
- The only successful attempts I've had is when I share to my PC and export to a file. Was able to do that with my original project plus a couple of my test ones. I've done both an AVI and MPEG. Trying to determine which is really the best option/quality.
I've read that some people recommend exporting to a file because it provides a backup of the video and you don't have to rely on PE. That might be fine but want to be able to retain my disc menu's and on the occassion in which I record at the highest resolution on my video camera, that I can burn a bluray disc (which I have been successful doing through PE before). So might be missing a step on maintaining my menu and might need recommendation of a 3rd party software to keep menu and burn to bluray. Especially if I can't get past my issue. The end objective is to be able to rip a DVD so I can give one to each of the dance team girls.
At this stage I don't think I have more to add but I'm sure I overlooked something. I apologize if I put anyone to sleep. It is very possible that I'm overlooking something but have to admit that doing video editing and building home DVDs are new to me so still striving to learn more in this area. I hope that someone has had a similar experience or can perhaps give me some advice. I've combed through the system event logs and did go through the computer and can't find a single thing wrong with the OS or hardware. I know back in the day that people would recommend setting the min/max of the pagefile the same to reduce fragmentation of the pagefile. Not sure if this holds true to Windows 7 or not. Would think that there might be pros/cons to either configuration. Maybe something is awry with my rebuild.
Thanks again for everyone who have been patient enough to read through my post. Thanks in advance for any help that you might be able to provide.
Best regards,
Mark

Mark,
Well-stated. Here are a few comments, and some questions:
You have both HD and SD material, and plan on burning to DVD-Video, which will be SD. How are you handling the mixed footage?
It appears that you started with an HD Project Preset, to match your JVC's source video. Is that correct?
What about that SD material? Did you just Scale it up to match the HD material, or did you leave it with full letter-boxing and pillar-boxing, i.e. black bars all around?
Instead of the iTunes music, can you convert the M4a files to PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit? Adobe programs can have issues with MPEG Audio, whether MP3, or M4a. The great free audio-editing program, Audacity, should be able to do this easily. This might have zero to do with the issue, but is the workflow that is 100% for me, though I use Adobe Audition to convert to PCM/WAV.
What are the pixel x pixel dimensions of those still images? Are you Importing overly-large stills, and getting PrE to Scale them down to the Frame Size of your Project?
As for your Page File, I recommend setting that up to be statically managed, and for two reasons:
With a statically managed Page File, the OS is freed of having to calculate on the fly, and that takes CPU cycles and reads and writes.
Depending on the CPU and the I/O sub-system, if the dynamically managed Page File is expanded a bit more slowly, than the program is expecting, it can fault, rather than wait, assuming that the system has hung.
Though you have two physical HDD's with the RAID 1, they are seen as one, plus the redundancy. It also seems that you have partitions. Is your D:\ just the Dell Recovery Disc? If so, then everything is on one HDD, the OS, the program, the media, the Scratch Disks, everything. This can cause bottlenecks when editing and Exporting/Sharing. Is your RAID controlled via software, or by a dedicated hardware controller card? If via software, then there are many CPU cycles used for that, and especially with a RAID 1.
You have adequate free space, and that is better than many. PrE requires plenty of HDD space for the very large working files.
Do you have Windows Indexing ON for your HDD's? This can really get in the way, when editing.
Now, there are two ways to Burn a DVD - Burn to Disc (where you are getting your errors - right?), and Burn to Folder, which will retain the full Menu system and all authoring. That will create the full DVD VIDEO_TS folder structure, with the IFO, BUP and VOB's. All will be included. Then, one can use a burning utility, like the great, free ImgBurn, to do the physical burn. This also has the advantage of allowing one to slow down the burn speed. About half of max. is better.
When you do burn, I strongly recommend using either Verbatim, or Taiyo-Yuden blank media.
I would also carefully check your Timeline for ANY gaps in your Video. Those can cause Transcoding errors. This ARTICLE will give you some background and tips.
Glad that you have turned OFF your anti-virus software, when you are editing and authoring. Especially the newer real-time monitoring, has caused no end to grief, as it insists on scanning every file accessed, and this can cause many errors.
For the BSOD/reboot, this ARTICLE might be useful.
It seems that you have already addressed most of the things in this ARTICLE, but perhaps there is something that has been overlooked.
I am sure that I am overlooking some things, and hope that others will have ideas.
Good luck,
Hunt

When I try to burn my slideshow.mov to a dvd disc, it will burn but when i put it in the dvd player it says 'disc error'. I have burned it thru iDVD before but forgot how to do it and it won't do it now. The slide show is on my desktop

Rather than burn directly to disk follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
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, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is 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.

The Attempt to burn disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error.

When trying to burn a CD, I'm getting an error that reads:The Attempt to burn disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error. I experienced this message before and took my Macbook in to the store and the the genius was stumped but when he tried one of his CD's it burned fine to he concluded that the problem was in the CD's NOT the Macbook or program HOWEVER, months later, I'm having the same issue using the NEW CD's. Does anyone have any information about this?

3 methods to fix this:
The first is to reset pram
at boot up hold four keys down till you hear 3 chimes:
command(apple)=option+p+r
release keys and it will now reboot.
The second is to reset nvram
at boot up hold four keys down:
command(apple)+option+o+f
a black screen will appear
now type: reset-nvram
click enter
now type: reset-all
click enter
it will now reboot
The third is to open system preferences.
go to international
under languages: drag any of the other languages to the top, then drag english back to the top.
make sure "order for sorted lists" is set to english
make sure "word break" is set to english(united states, computer)
then restart.
I hope this helps you as it certainly did me. :^)
