Error while burning a movie to DVD using iDVD

I have burned a 2 other movies this week but the last movie I tried to burn didn't work. I tried 3 times (once after restarting the computer and once starting over from iMovie) but each time I got the same error at the end.
Multiplexer Error
The was an error during building. The discs is still untouched and may be reused later.
Thanks for any help.

I had that problem until I remove a good deal of stuff from my 500 GB drive and left about 100. I hear from this forum you need at least 25 GB free. Try it...see if that works....also, burn at the slowest speed possible.

    I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported
    and edited them in iMovie and then burned them onto a DVD using iDVD.
    I can see the weak jerkiness when panning in both laterally
    and vertically.
    I shoot with a camcorder Canon Vixia HF10. The camera has been set to deliver HD quality (1920x1080). But I have accidentally filmed with a frame rate of 60 (?).
    When I import the films in iMovie I have been asked if I want to change to frame rate 30 (instead of 25). I have chosen 30.
    Could it be the setting of a frame rate 60 in my camcorder that causes jerkiness when panning or what else?

  • Getting extra scenes when burning from imovie to dvd using idvd.

    I edited a movie using imovie and got it n the sequence I want.  Then I burned it to dvd using idvd.  However, when I view the dvd, it starts midway through the video, goes to the end, then starts over and shows me the whole video. 
    The problem is, I don't see the extra part that shows in the beginnning on the dvd on imovie.  How do I get rid of that extra stuff if I can't see it on imovie?

    I have had the same problem. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple Support and they were absolutely no help at all. They told me to buy Final Cut Pro. The only thing I found that helped was to export the movie using Quick Time as HD as possible (which takes a long time) and then use that in iDVD, so that the version I have for viewing on a TV or whatever doesn't look cheap and lo-res. My old iMac and iMovie 4 was slow, but the quality was much better on finished DVD products of movies or slideshows. It *****.

  • HT1095 burn my movie to DVD without iDVD

    How do I burn my movie to DVD? I bought a Macpro last November and there's no iDVD.

    Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD.   I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, and others.  None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie.
    With iDVD you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.
    IDVD is easy to get. It is available on disk as part of iLife 11.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

  • Slide Show from Fotomagico to .mov to DVD using iDVD 08

    I used to make slide shows using analogue equipment (multiple slide projectors and electronic controlled slide changes involving fading and timing). These slideshows were projected onto a large screen (2m * 2m). With the introduction of large high definition TV screens and advanced display options it is natural to aim for this media. I use Fotomagico to develop slideshows and aim for quality high definition and smooth transitions (pan, zoom, fade). As long as I use the Fotomagico for screening transitions are smooth but once I take the show thru the conversion process (part of Fotomagico) to make .mov files for QuickTime or that matter for iDVD, pan/zooms may or may not come out jerky on the screen be that on the computer screen or the TV. However this never happens when using "Front Row". Is it possible that Quicktime and iDVD (08) do not make proper use of hardware resources available? Is there any software that would not cost me an arm and a leg that would overcome this problem? My system is a Mac Pro Q-Core 2.8 GHz and 6 GB of RAM and I have 200 GB HDrive available. One of the offending pictures has 344 KB with an aspect ratio of 3.6 taking 12 seconds for the pan (screening the picture from let to right in slow motion) and increasing the screening of one image to 20 second may reduce the jerky motion slightly. Fotomagico staff is aware of that problem that will not occur as long as the show is screened using Fotomagico - of course the whole exercise is to bring a show to anyone using DVD players and TV screens. I am highly suspicious of QuickTime and iDVD since shows play ok using "Front Row". Any suggestions or questions?

    What am I missing? How come DVD recorders can record and play back good to very good resolution and motion in HD coming from TV broadcasts or for that matter coming from professionally made DVDs?
    Maybe I left something unexplained in my post: Slideshows developed with Fotomagico and transferred to .MOV format and then recorded on DVD (using iDVD) in 1920*1080 are coming out quite good on my large screen TV (LG DLP 52" 1280*720p) and the same is true playing the .MOV file on the Mac or a PC. I do not use a projector for play back.
    It is only when it comes to PAN/ZOOM motions that the display can become jerky. During the translation from Fotomagico to .MOV format I am using the best resolution and compression available to me. I am aware that during the translation (authoring?) massive amounts of data have to be processed to generate the illusion of a slowly moving picture passing across the TV (monitor) screen especially so considering the wide screen (16:9) format.
    I am new to making movies for DVDs and I like to learn and why not from the best; any help with my problem is much welcomed and I apologise if I don't use the proper terms or if I bark up the wrong tree.

  • How to burn AVI on a DVD using iDVD

    Hello folks,
    I have a number of old movies in AVI format. I can play these without any problems in QT on my Mac - I have Perian installed and Flip4Mac.
    I open iDVD, then create a new project, add the AVI file, then iDVD starts crunching the file for a while (about one hour or so, depending on how long the movie is), then, when it's about to start burning it on the disk it quits with an error message saying something about 'error at multiplexing'.
    I even tried to convert my AVI file into MOV (with this: http://www.macxdvd.com/mac-video-converter-pro/?run.mxconverter ) but I still have the same issue.
    I know that I can burn it directly to a DVD using other programs (like Toast) but I am not willing to spend some more money for it. Ont he other hand, I want to add chapters and a simple menu, so that I can skip back and forth when needed.
    To be noted that other projects coming from my camcorder are OK.
    Any idea on how can this be acomplished?
    Many thanks in advance for your help.
    L

    Assuming the movie is not copy protected, you might have better luck with this free download from apple's web site before adding the file to iDvd:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    An AVI is a container, not a format; no single component or method will work for all AVIs
    If you need help using mpegstream clip then simply use the search field on the upper right corner of this page.
    Hope it helps but if not just come on back.

  • I get an error code when burning a movie to DVD

    I use Premiere Elements 10 in my iMac OS lion vers. 10.7.2
    I have 250 Gb free on my hard disc. The movie I try to burn is between 3-4 Gb
    When starting to burn my movie to a DVD the following is seen in order on the screen:
    Encoding Menu 2 of 2
    Computing Media
    Burning disks 1 of 1
    and then it burns (at the end pretty quickly) to 99% and stay there.
    I get an error code:
    Internal software error: /Users/labuser/premiere/elements/molecules/pre10-bullseye/molecule-17/External/AuthorScri pt/Source/DVDCreator/FormatLib/Ma.....
    When I look on the DVD, it looks like nothing has been burnt to the DVD.
    What can be wrong?
    gardie10

    I still have trouble with burning my movies to DVD.
    Have tried the following:
    Found that I had "-" in many of my file names (clips). I removed them from the file names, but this had no effect.
    I moved my entire project folder to a shorter path folder. This had no effect.
    I have not managed to find blank DVDs on sale here in Gothenburg, but will try to buy them online.
    I have four movies that I want to burn on DVD discs.
    Have succeeded in burning two of them.
    I've tried to find what distinguishes between the two that are OK and the two that I have not succeeded with. They are all at about the same size, about 27-29 minutes long.
    The clips are .m2ts and .mts files.
    In one of the movies that are OK, all the clips are .m2ts files. In the second movie (that is OK), most of the clips are .m2ts files, but also there are .mts files.
    In the other two movies that are not OK, it's a mix of .m2ts and .mts files.
    When I try to burn the two movies which failed, I get the same course as I showed earlier (with an error code).
    I must admit that I was wrong when I previously wrote that I could burn all the movies to my hard drive. The ones I can not burn to DVD, I can not burn to my hard drive.

  • Burning 2 quicktime movies onto one DVD using iDVD

    I wonder if you could help me.
    I have 2 Quick time movies - created in FCP - one hour and 10 mins each . Is it possible to put both on one DVD using iDVD? (one is the front view and other side view of a performance).
    I have version 5.0.2 iDVD and am burning on desktop G5
    Both movies have chapter markers (created already in FCP)
    Is it possible to do this and how do I do it using the right menu and proper theme etc- and right method of importing or loading the movies.
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks

    Hello Nan,
    a Single Layer DVD can hold a maximum of 120 min of video (incl. menus), so either you burn 2 SL DVDs or try to put both movies on a Double Layer DVD, provided you have a burner capable of writing DL DVD.
    how do I do it using the right menu and proper theme etc- and right method of importing or loading the movies.
    I suggest you have a look at this tutorial by Ken Stone: Authoring with iDVD 5

  • Multiplex Error - While Burning Disc Image

    I've been trying to burn an hour and a half dvd using idvd '08 on professional quality, coming from and AIC HDV project in final cut express 3.5. It takes around 5 hours to encode and then for the third time it's given me a multiplexer error at the end. Is there anyway to solve this?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Do you have 20GB+ free on your start-up drive? Do you have any external HDs attached?
    Your MacBook Pro hasn't frozen up while encoding?
    There is 10.5.2 available today.

  • AVI to DVD using iDVD cuts off sides of the movie

    I have various avi movies and while trying to burn them to DVD using iDVD I have been experiencing the following problem: The left, right, top and bottom of the movie are cut off (imagine putting two layers of duct tape on you screen making your screen smaller and then watching a movie on it).
    I have a widescreen TV and have tried both the widescreen and standard format with little success. The only difference in on the standard version I can see the entire menu (in the wide screen version, oddly enough, the screen is cut off).
    Is there something on iDVD I can do to adjust the ratio to shrink the movie to fit the screen, or do I have to format the movie somehow before bringing it into iDVD.
    I appreciate any advice or help anyone can offer.

    The problem with that is the green screen I get if I add it to the slide show.
    That's the first time I've heard of that. Thanks for the feedback. There's are two possible workarounds if you want to try them:
    1 - open the movie in Quicktime Player and export as full quality DV and use that in the slideshow.
    2 - if you've installed Perian on your Mac uninstall it, save the iDVD project as a disk image and see if the green is still there or not.
    There's a third way, with Quicktime Pro and an Applescript, to mask the movie so that it will be in the TV Safe area. If you find you want to try post back.

  • I am trying to get a good copy of my home video on DVD using IDVD.  On editing the video all the viewing screens show the video perfectly in HD.  When I burn the video to DVD all the end results are buzzy with squiggly lines.  Any fix?  Thanks?

    Hi
    There are several layers to this Q
    A. There are no HD in DVD - DVD is as standard only SD-Video what ever tools used to produce it !
    iDVD or DVD-Studio Pro or Roxio Toast™ - will only make SD-Video on DVD
    B. DVD can be better or worse
    • Using "Share to iDVD" is no good way - Better is Share to Media Browser and as Large (NOT HD as result will be worse)
    • Using iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - are not tools to chose if highes quality is of importance - iMovie up to HD6 or FinalCut any version is far better as they send over all lines to iDVD and not only every second one.
    • Using Right encoder quality depending on movie and Manu duration is very important
    • Use of high quality brand of DVD - is important - I use Verbatim DVD-R
    • Type of DVD - DVD-R plays on more DVD-Players (even old ones)
    • Burn speed - I set it down to x4 - resulting in less burn errors - plays on more players
    • I secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up Mac OS hard disk as iDVD and Mac OS needs this and it can not be taked from other hard disks - has to be here.
    • What You feed iDVD does matter
    Video codecs
    Audio file formats
    Photo file formats

  • Errors while burning?

    I just put together a pretty simple, one-track video on iDVD and while it was burning, I got a message saying something like "errors while burning" - I did not save the exact message, but I'm wondering what the cause for this might be. I actually closed out of the DVD project, took it to the trash, and recreated a new DVD project out of the iMovie project. I thught this would fix the problem, but there were still errors while burning the second time. I tried to play the DVD and the system would not read the DVD, there was no picture at all. Any suggestions? (I have more then 25GB of free space on my hard drive - about 35 I believe)

    You're welcome. Here's a bit of background:
    a) I use MacJanitor to trigger the Mac's maintenance scripts (download it from VersionTracker.com), and then use Apple's Disk Utility (look in Applications-Utilities) to repair permissions on your main hard drive. Your Mac would do maintenance tasks by itself if it was turned on continuously, but MacJanitor lets you run daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance tasks (I run it before I do something big, or when my Mac seems slow or goofy). Disk Utility can do first aid on hard disks, and on your main hard drive (boot drive), it can Repair Permissions (It's important that permissions are correct).
    b) Creating an image file is often recommended in these forums because it gives you more control over the burning process, and it creates a virtual DVD that reliably can be tested. In iDVD, choose Save As Disc Image and iDVD will go through the encoding and other processes, except the DVD is created on your Desktop. You can use Apple's DVD Player to play the virtual DVD and make sure it works like you want. When you're satisfied, Disk Utility can be used to copy the virtual DVD to an actual disk. To do this, choose the image file in DU and click Burn (you'll have some options for burn speed -- I'd choose something slow to reduce burning errors -- perhaps 1x or 2x but wouldn't go faster than half the rated speed of the burner).
    Shout if you need clarification.

  • I have completed a dvd using idvd.  It burns to disc but I want to upload it to tube Is there a way to do that?  it seens to be in project mode now.

      iDVD is not a format that can be viewed online.  Personally I would try creating a slideshow in iPhoto with the same photos and audio as used in iDVD. Then export as a movie file with the Export button at the bottom of the slideshow window:
    Since I don't use Face Book I don't know what size to recommend.  Another option would be to get a YouTube account (free) and upload the Quicktime movie file to it.  You can make videos there private or public. 
    Follow this workflow to help ensure 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 and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was 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.
