Error during burning

Hi
I have just tried to burn a dvd and I am getting the error " logical end of file reached during read operation". Does anyone know what this means, and how to correct it. I burned a different product earlier which was from the same imported tapes without any problems. This is part 2 of a wedding I am working on so I am anxious to get this fixed. I would appreciate any help I can get.

If a new user and a new system install (was this an archive & install??) won't fix things, then I'm stuck.
Check this list of things to try, though I know you've done most of them:
delete com.apple.iDVD.plist
repair permissions
clear caches with "CacheOutX" or "TigerCacheCleaner"
look for other corrupted plist files with "PreferentialTreatment"
20GB free space
b on your startup partition
clear font caches with Font Finagler
create a new user
remove(disable) unnecessary fonts
(more on that here: http://www.tcinternet.net/users/jklstudios/temp/osx.html
create new project with a new theme, and a simple movie from scratch, don't try to "fix" old ones

Error during burning process

I am using OS10.4.6
Powermac G5
Final Cut HD4.5
IDVD 5.0.1
I have made a 27 minute movie in Final cut....i cannot seem to burn it in IDVD no matter what. I have been using this full time for 4 yrs and have never had this issue.
I have tested other movies and they burn fine...i have tried throwing away all the render files and re-rendering the movie in final cut and then re-exporting it out. i have exported it out in 2 different ways...no matter what i do, I keep getting an error during the burning process that says
there was an ERROR in the burning process
which is leading me to believe that some file within my final cut project is corrupt or problematic.
i have worked on this thing for about 50 hours and cannot start over from scratch, Help!

Ashley- I know you're probably getting desperate but please don't duplicate post.
I'm not real familiar with iDVD but I know you have to export a QT movie from FCP and then burn that right? Your QT Movie, was it a self contained QT or a refernce Movie. If you have no idea what I just asked, when you exported it and you went to File>Export>QT Movie> did you select the box that says "make movie self-contained"?
If so then a corrupt file is a moot (sp?) point. Can you open the QT Movie and watch it successfully in QT?
If you CAN watch it in QT then your problem probably lies in iDVD.
Answer these questions for us and we'll take the next step to getting a DVD in your hands.

TS2180 Need a resolution for multiplexor error during burns?

Need a solution for Multiplexor Errors during iDVD disc burning process?

Hi
Multiplexing error is a very complex problem due to many things (long long list following) - one common but not obvious reason is that material on the iDVD menu goes outside the TV-Safe area (or just touching it).
So first - turn on TV-Safe area and move any object well inside of this.
Wide screen stretched - usually (as I think) it is due to making a 4x3 movie in a 16x9 wide-screen project OR the other way around. This forces one to on flat-screen TV (or other) set the presenting view right - My has 4x3, wide-screen, zoom and auto-wide-screen and I have to switch this by my remote for some DVD I've made "wrong" way.
Now my long long list on Multiplex Error
LONG LONG LONG LIST
Multiplexing Error
PART One.
Use of strange video/audio material e.g. .avi, .wmv, .mp3 etc.
I only use.
Video - StreamingDV (miniDV tape via FireWire) and
Audio - .aiff (as on audio-CDs) (else converted to this .aiff 48KHz)
Photo - .jpg (.bmp known problematic)
Chapters !
A. Using strange letters in video project name e.g. +,/; etc. keep to a-z and 0-9 strange letters in project name e.g. +
as described by Donnyboy69. Does the title of your project have any symbols or decimal points in it. If so, that is why you are getting the error. I had a project that had a + sign which caused the same problem. I renamed it without the symbol and low and behold, it worked.
B. Location of Chapters
• Can’t be at start or end of movie (Skip first/start one - iDVD sets this by it self. At the End - no need)
• Not in a transition (or within 2-3 seconds from it)
Important when from iMovie HD6 or previous - Now also observed when using FCE 4
PART Two.

Simply remember to add subtitles to your Quicktime files and menu buttons.
Once I did that, I was back in business.
from Boise Jim
Do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
I always makes a DiskImage first and test this so that it runs OK
I use only - Verbatim DVDs
I use only - DVD-R
I burn at an as slow speed possibly e.g. x1
This gives good DVDs

Multiplex Error
Chuck, Chicago 2/7/2009.
Back again. Here is what I have found to work. I also have and use a LaCie DVD-R/RW DL external drive and a LaCie external hard drive as well. Since yesterday I have tried a few ways to burn a themed iDVD project having four 56 minute movies on it, amounting to 226 minutes onto a DVD DL disc, capacity 240 minutes. Apple tech support really didn't know what to do but gave me a very good tip. I had two options left. Apple tech support's tip was to try disc image. One of the replies on a thread with this subject said not to, but my experience today is good. Put your project onto "Burn to disc image," under "iDVD, file." Yesterday encoding took me 23 1/2 hours. Overnight for iDVD disc image, encoding took 21 1/2 hours (again) while I slept. This morning I tried to copy/burn disc image to a DVD with Roxio Toast 7, and it stopped near the end of the burn with some kind of "error" message. So then I tried Utilities> Disc Utility> Burn icon, and followed it through. Be sure to click the DVD DL drive in the window "Burn disc in.". I had one other problem though. At the end of a 46 minute copy, it started to verify, and at the end of verify it rejected the burn. So I tried again, and when "verify" appeared, I clicked on "Skip." The disc finished burning and is doing fine and well. A long and tortuous process, but at last something works. I made several additional copies using Disc Utility. Best wishes. Chuck, Chicago.
2. Disconnect any other external devices not absolutely needed.
e.g. external USB/USB2 hard disks, other FW hard disks etc.

First, I do not think that mixing wide-screen and standard makes a difference in iDVD.
Second, you should use a better brand of DVD disk. Also, many of us have experienced fewer problems on playback with DVD-R disks. Recommended brands here are Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden. Memorex and TDK are not consistent and may not give you a correct burn. They apparently have fewer layers in the composition of the disk. I have always used Verbatim DVD-R disks and have not had any burn problems.
Also, choose a slower burn speed, 4x or less.
Third, to determine if the iDVD project will burn properly, create a disk image file (from within iDVD, go File->Save as Disk Image) and test it. Mount the disk image and then open DVD Player (in Applications) and view your project. If it plays correctly, you can then burn the actual DVD disk from the disk image file using Disk Utility.
From. Boise, Idaho
I did everything I've seen suggested, but a friend (who used to be an Apple Genius) suggested that I do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
It worked, and I got a clean burn from iDVD.
Hopefully this can help other people.
by dheb0422
Well, I finally got it, and it was odd enough to post here incase anyone looks this topic up again. Many things were tried, including burning the unedited film, the edited film without titles and chapter markers, abbreviating the chapter markers in case length was the issue (remember the old iMovie used to truncate them when moving to iDVD?). In the process, I noticed that one, and only one, chapter marker was on the same line as the title marker. All the others were on the line above. The only way I seemed able to change that was to clip a few seconds of film. After that last clip, the offending marker took a place on the line above, as were all the others. That run published, compiled completely and burned. That's one for the books.

To add my experience with Multiplex Errors using iDVD (7.0.4), I recently created two iDVD projects
Video from both passed from FCE 4.01 with chapters
One project worked fine in creating disk image file
The other gave Multiplex Errors
I tried suggestions to remove special characters and no chapter marks at beginning, but nothing worked
Note that I've used iDVD for dozens of projects and this is first time I've run into Multiplex Errors
Anyway, for problem project, I tried an experiment where I removed all chapters in FCE and passed to new iDVD project
This time multiplex errors gone
So had something to do with chapters
So now I tried numerous experiments to remove individual chapters and try again creating disk image with new iDVD project
After numerous tries, I was able to narrow problem down to 1 "Bad" chapter mark
That is, when I left the "bad" chapter in my FCE project and passed to iDVD, iDVD gave multiplex error
When I removed "bad" chapter mark (and others in), no multiplex error
As a final experiment, I moved "bad" chapter mark about 5-10 sec's beyond original point and passed to iDVD, the multiplex errors now magically went away and I was able to finally create my disk image.
I have no idea why this worked, but thought I'd mention here in case someone else runs into similar problem.

In addition to Bengt's fine advice, burning errors can occur if you have located any of your menu buttons wholly or partly outside of the safe TV viewing area. Go to your main project menu, then click on View/Show TV Safe Area, to check. Drag into the safe viewing area any buttons that are outside the safe viewing area.
Russ One - suggest this
Multiplex Error-There was an error during muxing preparation
One thing that worked for me was to export the video w/o chapter markers as a self contained movie (thereby not loosing the edits & etc). Then make a new FCE project and import that movie into a new sequence and add the chapter markers. I've used "-", "&" and "," with no problem in the chapter names. Removing the markers or exporting without them did solve the problem but renaming them with just numbers 1,2,3....5, did not solve the problem and since this problem seems to happen with with iMovie as well, it would suggest the problem is in the video or audio and in combination with the chapter markers iDVD just can't handle it. The only other possibility is that both iMovie and FCE share the same or similar chapter marker code that some how is corrupting the markers.
Summary - What to try
1. Chapters
• Only A to Z and 0 to 9 in chapter title
• No Chapter mark at very beginning of movie
• No Chapter mark in or within 2 seconds from any transition in movie
2. TV-safe area for buttons (no one outside this)
3. Safe re-boot
4. No other external devices connected - that are not needed
SDMacuser adds to this
• On #4 ... No ext. devices. Some think this applies mainly to ext. FW. Not the case. Also applies to ext. USB2 as well (not to mention flash drives too).
Do not leave 3rd party devices / camera / camcorder plugged in unless it is being used with iDvd's One Step process. Certain web cams can trigger this also (especially ones with added features like LED light/s that draw additional power from the FW or USB bus).
5. Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-up hard disk
6. Make a DiskImage first - reduces where problem originates
7. Trash iDVD pref. file
8. Make a new iDVD project
9. Movies in project with same aspect ratio e.g. 4x3 or 16x9
10. No other programs/applications running during iDVD process. e.g. Internet, screen & energy savers

Error during burning slideshow

I get an error message during encoding using iDVD 7.0 when burning a DVD or when attempting to save as disc image. I've used Apple support and nothing helps. Any ideas?

Thanks much. I changed the theme and it worked fine. Odd thing is that I was using themes in the program and did not create my own. Thanks for responding.

ITunes errors during burn process?!?!?!

This has happened to me several times and had been cured (or so i thought) by resetting the P-Ram or whatever it's called. I've done that twice and wasted 2 CD's which I bought from the Apple store, apparently that temporary fix no longer works. This is not to mention the other half of the pack I wasted on trying it the first time this happened. I get one of two error messages, either "The disc burning failed..etc" or "...failed to reach laser level for this media...etc" and frankly I think it's ridiculous that Apple goes months without releasing an update for something like this. Not everybody has tons of money to buy a new pack of CD's every time Apple's unreliable software screws up. If anybody else is experiencing this and has successfully cured it, even as a temporary fix, that'd be greatly appreciated. -Thanks

Device error during burning w/iDVD

Well, I spent some time learning about codec et al and was able to get a divx file to run on QT... movie looks good on MAC when running QT. I put into idvd and it also looked good as I ran it in preview. Spent several hours in burn process and at the end the dvd was ejected with below message. The dvd physically looks properly burned but it is not accepted by my dvd player... I've made many imovie projects that burned properly in idvd.
"The recording device reported the hardware error: No write current. (0x03, 0x01.)"

Rick,
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save As Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (not the .img, the one below) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down. Select a burn speed. Your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
b Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD 5 project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

There are zillions of things that can go awry.

Importing Uncompressed AVI Caused PGC Internal Software Error During Burn

When I export from PPro using uncompressed AVI and import that into Encore, the DVD burn blows up with a PGC internal software error. Somebody told me to export from PPro using DV-AVI instead of uncompressed, and that should fix things. Since that's going to take a day or so (this is a big/77 minute project) to export/import/transcode, I'd like to know why Encore doesn't like uncompressed AVI, and what's the difference between uncompressed AVI and DV-AVI? The DVD project passes validation without error, imports the assets without a problem, and the preview works fine for the entire show. Yet the build/burn fails!

Trenton,
Rather than uncompressed, you could try a lossless codec like
Lagarith
or
version 2.1.1 of HuffYUV
. Try Lagarith first if you want to experiment; HuffYUV can sometimes throw Encore for a loop if the clip length is longer than about 10 - 12 minutes.
That said, I have to agree with Harm - the MainConcept DV codec used in Premiere Pro is so good that a single generation loss from recompression for DV source footage (and that only for altered frames) is trivial and will not be noticed by your audience. It probably won't even be noticed by you unless you spend hours comparing individual frames. And who has time to do that? :)

Mac OS X: "Unknown Error -2147352480" when burning CD-R, CD-RW, or DVD-R media
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2718

I repeatedly get "error during rendering/encoding of menus/slideshow" message. This process is the same on my iMac, MacBook and another iMac. I have been burning dvd's int he same way for the past 12 months using the exact same steps successfully.

I keep getting "error during rendering/encoding of menus/slideshows" message. I have been burning DVD's in exactly the same way for the past 12 months and mostly on my MacBook which is 3 years old. Obviously I'm using iDVD. I purchased an iMac about a year ago and moved to use this for dvd burning without problem. A few months ago (approximately) I started to experience problems with burning with the error message above. I tried everything including starting the whole process from scratch right down to capturing the movie clips from my video recorder into iMovie, then using them in iDVD. Still the same message came up. I lost count of how many times I repeated the process with different clips and variations and the same thing happened. This was also the case with my MacBook and my husband's iMac.
After taking both of mymac's tothe service centre, having new optical thingys put it and even a new hard drive on my iMac along with a new DVD burner the same thing happened. They told me it must be the process that I am using that is incorrect!
I took my 27" iMac to an apple shop and asked them to assist me while I use the same technique as I always had. The same message came up so they tried using my clips in one of their mac's. The same message. They tried it with different clips and the same message. The only way we could get theirs to work was with a magic DVD which did not produce what I needed and was limited with only one page.
I now cannot use any of my Mac's for the intended purpose that I bought them for - to produce good media for my work! It was suggested that I purchase some non Mac software to burn DVDs which defeats the object of having a mac with iDVD in my opinion. I have a book on iDVD which is very informative and have followed the process to the letter and checked all the trouble shooting and still no remedy. It was mentioned that an up-date may have caused the problem on all my macs.
I feel that this issue should be addressed by Apple as a matter of correctness.
I now find that on the net there are many posts in forums and such like with exactly the same (almost word for word) problems. Please Apple, keep/regain your good name and sort this out.
Jayne Connelly

Thanks Bengt W for your attention to this matter. So much appreciated. And thanks for putting me right on the aim of forums (new to this). Although, you may regret asking for more information. I've added everything I can below.
The process I used is as follows:
Import recorded clips of between 5 and 15minutes each from my video recorder into i
Edit the clips (remove unwanted start and endng)
Add title to front of clips
‘Share’ them to ‘movie’ (export using QuickTime)folder in .mov format individually
Open iDVD and ‘create new project’
Select ‘favourite’ theme that I have set up forall my work dvd’s (this has been used successfully many times and I’ve triedwithout using the favourite them).
Add 2 submenus for each group of clips
Select submenu - drag and drop between 3 – 6 clips in each of the twosubmenus
Change title colours on clips
Dragand drop image into drop zones where required
In‘map’ view I check for any yellow warnings before burning to disc
In an attempt to remedy the problems I’ve tried the following:
Try new DVD discs
Try different themes (favourites and standardones)
Change images in drop zones
Start whole process again even from importingfrom camera again
Two other completely different computers (iMacand MacBook) with iDVD
Go to apple shop and use their computers to doin iDVD
Try with one clip and no menu pages added
Use a clip that I already have that did notoriginate from my camera
Turn computer off and restart
New hard drive
New optical lense (thing)
New DVD burner
Saving to disc image rather than dvd disc
Other points:
I also have a ‘flip’ and ‘iPhone’ whereI’ve imported footage camera which, although limited, records and makes videoclips and burns them to DVD through iDVD without problem.
For example, I have just gone through steps 5 - 11 using some clips that were already imported from my iphone to iPhoto and dragged across. I used a theme that I've used before which has failed and added one sub menu page where the clip went. It burned to disc image successfully.
The startup disc, I believe will have no space issues asit’s a new hard drive with no use apart from this. That could have been an issue before (I didn’t check it) butnot now.

Error message during burning: Error during rendering/encoding

Hello,
I am using iDVD 6.0.2 to create a DVD. I have pictures and videos. The videos are in .ASF format and they are played on Quicktime on my computer.
Anyway, when I go to burn the DVD, it goes through the slideshow fine. But then, once it starts videos, it stops and the following error message shows up:

My iDVD always says "it was an error during the movie encording" and it suddenly stops burning idk what to do!

Ok so i'm trying to burn a short 10-min-long film to a DVD via iDVD.... i've worked with it before and never had any trouble.
But i havent used it for 3 years now probably, and as i made the DVD menu and sub-menus for this project i worked normally
as i always did, it was easy and everything worked just fine.
The only difference this time is when i click "burn" it starts processing the menus but when it's done, instead of going to the next step which is
processing the slideshows, it automatically stops the burning and it says "there was an error during movie encording" idk why it always comes out,
what i'm doing wrongor if it just doesnt work anymore :S it also opens a new mini window that says "you have insterted a blank DVD.
Choose an action: (open finder) (open iDVD) (open iTunes) etc" so this tells me it's reading it...
i've picked all the options and it still doesnt work with any of those at this same point. I've also tried changing the preferences, the screen mode,
the video quality, EVERYTHING! nothing works! DX
anyone knows how to fix this?
it'd be truely appreciated!!!
Yours Truely, DANIELLA.

So today, I deleted that original file (this gave me the ~18.5 GB free) off my internal HD and tried to burn the project.
So the DV file iMovie is using is on the external again? If so I assume iDVD knows that...

"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.

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!
