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.

  • "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!

  • 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

  • My mac air is re-starting several times during the day, anyone have any idea what I can do to fixed it

    My mac air is re-starting several times during the day, anyone have any idea what I can do to fixed it?

    I was having this problem while still using Mavericks -- it started after a Mavericks update last spring.  During the initial Yosemite beta runs over the summer, it seemed to be fixed, but after the official launch in October, I had all sorts of problems keeping connected.  Its gotten a little better, but still happens to at least one of my devices every day.  Weird that we still cannot figure out why the connection keeps dropping on some devices, but not others, and then the next day, one of the devices that didn't disconnect the previous day will disconnect, but the ones that did disconnect, stay connected.  It's just sloppy, poorly written software for technology that isn't working the way it should.  If you turn off Continuity and Handoff on all your devices, you will probably see that everything stays connected.  With those turned off on all devices, TC stayed connected to everything for over a month.  The day I turned Continuity back on, all the problems started again.  It had something to do with the bluetooth version being used, the wifi routine, and Apple's AirPlay technology not quite getting along with each other.

  • Support code 5011, any ideas what this means.

    I purchase a MX452 printer upon start up I'm getting support code 5011, any ideas what this means.

    Hello everyone,
    If the error remains after unplugging the printer for at least 10 minutes, it may require service (and please note that unplugging it will delete any faxes stored in the machine's memory).
    It would be best to get in touch with our technical support team at http://bit.ly/Phone_Support for further assistance.
    Thanks!

  • I just reinstalled iTunes, and it will not open, as it says iTunes library itl. was created from an earlier version. Any idea what this means, and how I can get itunes to open?

    I just reinstalled iTunes, and it will not open, as it says iTunes library itl. was created from an earlier version. Any idea what this means, and how I can get itunes to open?

    Many thanks.
    That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • I have a MacBook Pro, Matshita UJ-857E while recording music my drive reported an error: Sense Key=HARDWARE ERROR Sense Code=0x03,0x01 I have no idea what this means, and now my cd burner/player won't work. can someone help me fix this problem?

    Please Help me. I am having problems with my MATSHITA UJ-857E DVD-R burner/writer. I burned 4 cd's and then it stopped working.
    I can select my songs, and then it asks for a blank disc. It starts preparing to write the disc,then it says,"
    The drive reported an error: Sense Key= HARDWARE ERROR Sense Code= 0x09,0x01 TRACKING SERVO FAILURE.
    Can anyone give me some advice on how to fix it or what this means because I have no idea what it is talking about or how to begin to fix the problem?

    This is an error reported by the optical drive's firmware. The tracking servo is the servomechanism which guides the laser pickup along the track on the optical disc. The error means that the servo couldn't do its job within the programmed parameters. What it doesn't say is why.
    You have to be very precise as to when this error occurs. If it occurs as you wrote, while it "starts preparing to write the disc", and not when it has actually began to burn, then it's likely that the drive has gone bad and needs to be replaced.
    There are other possibilities, so you should check them, but they would be more likely if the error occurred after the drive began to write. OrangeMarlin has suggested two options -- try a different brand of CD or DVD, and try cleaning the lens.

  • "unexpected additional time for review"...Any Ideas what this means?

    I received the following from apple, anyone know what it means, Have not heard from them since... I have 3 apps for sale and have not seen this before... are they just swamped? Or is this something specific to my app? Thoughts?
    thanks for reply

    Hello,
    Your application, MY APP NAME, is requiring unexpected additional time for review. We apologize for the delay, and will update you with further status as soon as we are able.
    Thank you for your patience.

    It usually means there's something questionable about your app and Apple doesn't have a formal policy yet of how to handle it. From what I've read with other people in a similar situation, it might be because Apple suspects your app is doing something in violation of the SDK rules, but it's a grey area.
    I read one person say they received such an email when they had an app that simulated smoking (kinda like iBeer, but for cigarettes). Apple's legal team was probably mulling it over for awhile to figure out whether it deserved outright rejection or might be allowed in the store.
    Sometimes, once your app is in this status, it will be there for MONTHS. Yes, months. Best advice is once you receive such an email move on to a new app idea. Your app might eventually be accepted, but no telling how long it will take and Apple is usually silent in regards to further email queries asking for clarification.
    I have an app in this state right now. The questionable part of my app is that under certain circumstances the app simulates a cracked screen. The app was initially rejected and when I pointed out that another app (Sonic Boom) already does this and is approved in the store, I received this status update that my app is now requiring additional time for review.
    Hopefully it really means Apple is reconsidering their position and it's not a way to just put my app on hold indefinitely.
    Yes, it's frustrating, and yes, it makes me rethink the whole idea of investing serious time in developing apps for the iPhone.

  • Errot Found During The Burning Process

    Can someone tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it?
    I have 2 DVDs in front of me Both Sony DVD-R the only difference between the disks is one is 1X-4X the other is 1X-8X. I can burn the 1X-4X with no problem. The 1X-8X errors every time. The error message is:
    The recording device reported the media error: Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.)

    I have been getting the same error message and have tried just about everything except replacing the drive. I have tried all kinds of blank dvd's and finally just bought the apple brand and still no luck. Which sony 1x-4x dvd's work, maybe that will be what we have to use.

  • HT201272 I purchased an album and parts of some songs are not there. Tried redownloading and get error -1202. Any idea what this means and how to fix it?

    I purchased an album and am missing parts of songs. Tried to re-download, but itune store is giving me error -1202. I also tried to transfer from iphone, but nothing changed. Any ideas on what else I can try?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • My Ipod displays the red-orange circle with an X inside, and the apple support web address.  I can't find a reference to this and I haven't seen it before.  Any ideas what this means?

    The ipod has been working erratically for the last few weeks.  Stops playing mid-song, takes forever to load the next song on shuffle mode.  Today, stopped playing altogether.  When I tried to reset, I got an orange circle with a X in it and the support web addaress.  I can't find anything on the support site that references the x'd circle.  Any ideas?  Is this thing toast?

    Hi Crystal Newkirk,
    I've come across the following information which may be helpful. If you are seeing the red "X" icon on the display, we will need to restore your iPod from Disk Mode.

  • Pismo powerbook making a strange "beeeep" sound -any idea what this mean..?

    I have had various problems with my Pismo for a while (have had to reinstall the system every month or so, please see my other post for details). Then the other day, it made a loud "beeeeep" sound. Actually it must have made this sound 3 - 4 times over the last months (sometimes just a short "beep", sometimes a longer one). But it is only now that I found out this sound came from the Pismo (I thought the sound came from my music keyboard, neighbour, or my mobile, had no idea the Pismo could make that sound!).
    I tried to look on the internet, and understand that this is a sort of system alert : - (
    If anyone has an idea about what this might mean in this situation that would be great!
    Message was edited by: apple.pie

    Hi, I can't add a lot but was thinking about the problem.
    -if it is a beeeeep on startup it could be a memory issue and the test programs may not find it so keep that in mind. If it does it again during boot up you can try removing the memory cards and see if one in particular is causing the problem.
    -if it's a beeep while running....that's interesting.....I've heard this when the battery is going dead and a powerbook shuts itself down although I can't honestly say I remember any of our Pismos doing this.
    -it feels like you have a hard drive problem, especially if this is the original drive but that doesn't explain the beeep though. Drives are pretty cheap these days so you can gain some performance with a faster drive with bigger capacity.

  • Errors found in the burning process

    I use to never have problems burning iDvd's. Now every time I try, it comes up with this message about an hour after working on the dvd: "The recording device reported the media error: Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.)"
    What does that mean and how can i avoid it??

    Try using Verbatim DVD-R 4X media.
    With iDVD 4 you must use DVD-R and verbatim is the best, IMPO.
