Error in burn process

Hi,
I made an iDVD project with slideshows, and an iMovie intro. When I select burn, it goes through and gets all the way to the final step of burning. When it begins to burn it immediately comes up with Error #-1 was reported and then no other option but click ok. Then, I cant burn the project or save as disk image. What am I doing wrong?

I am not a happy camper. Created a 5 second audio clip of silence with SoundStudio and plopped it into the audio track. Of course, when it failed again, I then remembered that I'd unchecked the audio tracks originally, for a reason that now escapes me. Turned the audio tracks back on, made sure the silent clip was still there, made sure that iDVD did its "update assets" dance, and tried it again. ****! Same error! This time, though, it appeared to go through the audio encoding process. Ok, this time, I replicated the audio clip to make four clips, and put one at each end of both audio tracks. I've fired it up again, but I'm not getting positive feelings from this. I repeat, I am NOT a happy camper. And I hope my TiBook isn't getting too tired from running full steam for several days now.
Any other ideas I can try after... uhm... IF this attempt fails again?
(Haven't heard from the original poster as to whether that original problem was resolved.)

  • 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.

  • Error in burning process

    I've burned my DVDs before, but this time it won't finish the burning. It says there was an error during the burning process before it's about to finish. I have 30 GB free on my HD, 1GB RAM, and a black Macbook. The other posts I saw on this topic had to do with upgrading Quicktime I think and I don't think that's the problem with mine since I bought it a little while ago and as far as I know, Quicktime hasn't been updated since August. (Except for the software updates, which I'm all up to date with)
    Also, after it gives me the message iDVD won't close out. I have to manually hold the power button down to shut off to get it functioning again.
    Any suggestions? Thanks for reading
    EDIT: I posted this in the wrong forum earlier, and am now posting in the right place and I got the error # it's -34502

    I searched the forum for the error message and found this

    it solved my problem.

  • 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

    I looked up many solutions to the problem online but none seem to work. Mainly, I looked to remove iTunes completely via Control Panel but it wasn't there.
    Can you let us know what happens if you try installing iTunes again, please? In particular, if you get an error message, let us know what the error message says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Why "Burning process failed"?

    I got this error message "burning process failed". Any reason?
    1) I got the right DVD disc for burning.
    2) It rendered all the way till it finished processing the movies.
    3) The moment it reached Burn, I have this error message.
    This is so frustrating. Why?

    Sorry if this sounds like a dumb suggestion, but have you put the DVD into a separate DVD player and see if it played? I get error messeges on my Mac that says the program quit unexpectedly, even though I told it to quit the instant earlier. Sometimes it just forgets or something, who knows.
    If this playing somewhere else doesn't work, then sorry, but I'm not familiar enough with the program to be able to tell.

  • I keep getting the error: "Menu Encoding Error... need to stop burning process" when I attempt to burn a DVD

    Very frustrating... I'm trying to burn a DVD and I've done it about 100 times before.  I've checked the mapping for errors and found none.  When I attempt to burn a DVD, the error mentioned above appears after a few minutes.  I've tried to update all software, restart the computer, and use other DVRs.  Any adivice would be most helpful.  Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    To be able to help we need more exact information and that You try out every suggestion as precise as possibly.
    First step is as always - separate encoding from burn-process - By Save as a DiskImage from File menu in iDVD (as suggested by Old Toad)
    If problem persists in encoding part then
    • iDVD got a corrupted pref file - very common problem
    • Space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk get's too low to be able to store the temp. files from iDVD and Mac OS (can not be stored elsewhere)
    • Material feed into iDVD - can not be digested as strange video codecs and audio files in .mp3 .wma and other exotic formats.
    iDVD pref file - to find out if this is the problem - Easiest and most secure way is to - Create a new User-account and log into this. Re-try iDVD - If it now works OK then the problem is very close to 100% in the pref file. Either do Your work in the new Account or go back and trash the old pref file.
    Space on Start-Up HD - I never go under 25Gb to let iDVD and Mac OS run OK
    Material - Here You need to supply specific information
    • Video - from what Camera - in what codec - If You can open a video file in QuickTime-Player then here open Inspector and read Video format/Codec: nnnnnnnn, size and frame rate - and tell us
    • Audio - All audio I use is in .aiff 16-bit 48kHz (as from my miniDV Camera or 44.1 kHz as from Audio-CDs all other is converted to this. iTunes is even more problematic. Here I collect all needed audio into a new PlayList and this I BURN out as a standard Audio-CD (.aiff) (never .mp3) and in my movie projects I use the files from this CD.

  • "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!

  • "Errors found during the burning process"

    Hello,
    I created an iDVD project that includes:
    1. 108-minute movie
    2. 6-minute movie
    3. 3-minute movie
    4. 12-minute slide show (3 four-minute slide shows)
    The project worked fine in the iDVD Preview. I then attempted to burn the DVD right from iDVD, and after 8 hours of encoding, I got the "Errors found during the burning process" message.
    I've read so many posts here with a hundred different possible solutions, but what is the best place to start to try to determine what the errors are and how to fix them?
    Following one suggestion, I am now creating a Disk Image first, but if errors still exist with a Disk Image, what do I do then?
    I'm working on a Powerbook G4 with the iLife upgrade. Thanks for any advice.

    Larry,
    Here's my philosophy on iDVD troubleshooting, largley based upon my experience here at this forum, with heavy doeses of input from Ken Tidwell, Len Goff, Old Toad, F Shippey, with more recent input from SDIllini, Hui Cheng, and Beverly M.......
    #0 - always use "Save as Disk Image" instead of burning when troubleshooting iDVD
    #1 Try the easy usual suspect fixes first! After all if these don't work you can always try the hard fixes!
    Check the list on this download:
    http://dvd.kentidwell.com/iDVDUOFAQ2005.pdf
    But here are easy solutions IMHO:
    Get free space on the startup drive -20GB recommended
    Delete the iDVD plist file com.apple.iDVD.plist
    Repair Disk Permissions
    Clear Cache Files (CacheOutX, TigerCacheCleaner, Onyx)
    Do you have 12 bit audio - check your camcorder.......if not 16 bit you will have problems
    Fix Chapter Markers-don't put one at the beginning in iMovie (iDVD will do it for you)
    Chapter Markers - don't put one at the end.
    Chapter Markers - don't put one within 2 secs of a transition
    Delete other corrupt preference files (try using Preferential Treatment)
    #2 When the easy fixes don't work, you need to divide and conquer. The suspects are your a) your project media, b)your hardware, c)your system/user preferences, d)iDVD.
    A good test for a&d is to build a simple test project with other photos/movies/themes/audio and see if you can "save as disk image" the test project. The iDVD4 tutorial project is great if you've ever had iDVD4 installed on your machine. If this works it suggests that iDVD is working OK, and that something in your project is causing the hiccup.
    The most common problems in projects are CMs, audio and transitions. One way that sometimes clears them up is to export to full quality DV (or to tape!) and re-import into iDVD. In slideshows, funny JPEGs can bring iDVD down. The only method here is to try different groups to find the bad actor.
    OK let's assume that you can't burn (I mean "Save as Disk Image") the test project or the tutorial. This suggest that your hardware/system/iDVD is having problems and your project is probably fine. Then what?
    c) Hardware: if you can make a disk image but can't burn it, or it plays badly, then try creating a data DVD - if you can't do that I'd suspect your DVD drive. Try different brands of DVD-R (and I'd stick to -R, not +R nor +RW), I like Verbatim. Next on the suspect list is RAM. iDVD is the best test for RAM known to mackind. Try pulling non-Apple supplied modules and try again.
    OK, let's assume you can make data DVDs, but you can't make a good disk image, and you've tried pulling all non-Apple RAM. What next?
    Try creating a new user. New users have more limited sets of fonts and all new preference files and caches, not only for iDVD but for everything, and few (if any) third party plug-ins installed.
    Finally try reinstalling iDVD.......
    If you've done all this, a new system install might be in order, but come here first for advice from others before going that far!

  • ERRORS found during the burning process #-34506...any idea what this means?

    ERRORS found during the burning process #-34506...any idea what this means?
    This one project I want to copy to DVD keeps saying this when I go to burn (that is after nearly 2 hrs of processing). There is nothing wrong with the movie so i don't know why i'm having such a problem burning it. i guess to start i'd need to know what this code means (I couldn't find it in iDVD help).
    thanks in advance
    Jeremiah

    First I'd be certain that I had changed the preferences from best quality to best performance.
    Did you follow the chapter rules?
    *Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the start or end of the timeline.
    *Make sure no chapter markers are within a transition.
    *Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the end of a transition.
    You may have already done this, but
    Quit iDVD. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. This may solve project loading errors too. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.

  • 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).

  • Idvd5.01 Errors were found during the burning process (Burned Finished)

    I've never had this problem before, but i'm trying to burn a dvd after all the media and dvd are ready for burning and when I click on the burn icon the following message pops up: Errors were found during the burning process. I've check to make sure nothing is hanging outside the title safe area. Any suggestion to why I'm getting this error.

    Hello, Oscar,
    This message can mean several things.
    First, are you burning an iMovie or a slideshow or both?
    Do you have chapter markers in your movie? Are they on or withing 2 seconds of any transition or at the beginning of your movie?
    Does everything encode properly?
    Are you able to 'save as disk image'?
    Post back with some more details about your project.

  • Errors were found during the burning process!?!?

    I finished importing a movie off of my DV Camera and clicked "share" in the iDVD '06 menu. I selected iDVD and my movie was sent into iDVD 6. After customizing a menu, and inserting a blank disc, the burning process was started. After iDVD6 has finished "processing" and "rendering" the menus and the movie, the progress bar for the action "burning your DVD" pops up. About a quarter of the way through I get a window which says the following:
    Burning Finished
    Errors were found during the burning process.
    After clicking "Details" it says:
    The recording device reported the media error: Write error. (0x0C, 0x00.)
    I have tried burning a movie on all DVD types available.(DVD-R DVD+R DVD RW) Why does this problem keep occurring? Is there a problem with my superdrive?

    Hello Ilzmaster,
    the cause could be your burner, but it's much more likely that high burn speed is the culprit - and you can't control that in iDVD.
    Try creating a disk image (File > Save as Disk image). This creates an .img file on your HDD, that can be stored for future use and gives you the option to preview your DVD on your Mac before burning to disc.
    Next use Disc Utility or Toast to burn your DVD at slow speed. 4x is acceptable, 2x (... or even 1x) is better.
    Use only high quality DVD-R (not DVD+R) media (e.g. Verbatim) to minimize burn errors and compatibility issues. Make sure the DVD is compatible with slow burn speed (e.g. 1x-4x)
    Also: iDVD likes to have the project(s) on your startup disc with 15 - 20 GB of available disc space
    hope this helps

  • Burning process errors

    When I try to burn a DVD ( iDVD 05) once it finally accepts a disc ( I have tried 3 different media - verbatim, fuji, & sony) this is the detailed message I get when iDVD stops -
    Errors were found during the burning process :
    The recording device reported the media error: Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.)
    I have seen this problem before and followed several suggestions posted here - including cleaning my drive w/ compressed air, running a CD/DVD cleaner disc and changing media. When I did this before, I was successful in burning 3 copies of one project. However, since creating my latest project I continue to get the same error notice, even when I've tried the same 3 suggestions. It will burn CDs no problem - any suggestions?
    I have:
    Hardware Overview:

    My project is only 2 slide shows w/ about 150 pictures. My hard drive has 77 GB free -

    fuji is up to 8x
    verbatim 8x/1x
    i have successfully burned the verbatim for over a year now and only bought the others when this problem occurred.
    when i checked the cleaner disc i used, it the cover stated that it was a CD cleaner - is there a different one for the DVD laser?
    thanks!
