Failing during burn process.

In iMovie HD I created a 1 hr., 18 min. video and slideshow w/chapters, exported to a full-quality quicktime movie (15.9 Gig). Quicktime player views audio and video just fine, but when I tried to burn to dvd through Toast 7 Titanium, the final result is, I hear the audio, but see no video.
Tried sending the iMovie HD6 to iDVD8– had to drop the quality down one notch, the end result was a DVD movie, after encoding and burn, appeared to be fine, after 12 copies, I find that all 12 dvd's stall, sputter, and won't play the latter chapters.
Is a 15.9 Gig Quicktime movie to large for iDVD or Toast7 to encode?
One final note, I Had a successful disc created from a 16 gig quicktime movie, but had forgot to add chapters, added these in imovie project, exported another "Full-Qualty" Quicktime file. This is where my trouble began.
Summary: quicktime player plays the movie just fine, Idvd and toast are not encoding with any success. –any ideas are very much appreciated!

Hi
a. Don't put Chapters to close to a transition (>2sec away)
b. I don't use "Share/Export to iDVD" or make a QT full quality movie. I just
• Close iMovie
• Open iDVD
• Either Import movie project from within iDVD OR Just drop the iMovie movie
project icon (with a star on it) into iDVD window.
c. Size of movie project in Gbs DOESN'T matter at all ONLY movie duration in time
and dep on what encoding quality You select.
• Professional Quality (iDVD08,09) (movies up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
d. Free space on internal boot hard disk ? How much ?
I secure a minimum of 25Gb for standard 4x3 TV-video if 16x9 HD I would set off
abou four timees more.
iDVD and Mac OS Can't address other external/second drives.

  • "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!

  • 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).

  • Image Incomplete Message during burning process

    HI All,
    I have had this problem pop up a few times as of recent. I get an image incomplete during the burn process when running IDVD 6. It has happened on 2 different projects on 2 seperate occassions. I was eventually able to get it to work but am I missing something or doing something wrong?? Thanks for look
    Joe

    You may need to force quit iDVD (appleoptionesc).
    If you do force quit, make sure to run apple's Disk Utility afterwards to repair permissions on your main HD. In fact, I would do it regardless ...might help resolve some issues here.

  • 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.

  • IDVD encoding causes system failure during burn process

    I have iDVD 5 on my work computer (dual 2.7Ghz G5 / 2.5 G RAM), and have burned successfully before my current project.
    My current project has a 28:45 movie and I have tried two different themes with different combinations of drop zones (one with the movie as the drop zone and one with stills only) and everything previews okay, but when I start the burn process it will get to a certain point in the encoding and then the whole system crashes. I come back to check on the process, and my screen is filled with black squares with error info in it... (looks like a DOS screen or something) and it says something about system failure and that I need to restart my computer.
    I'm so stubborn that I keep trying different combinations of possibilities but I'm having no luck. The movie that it's hangin up on was captured in Final Cut Pro from a VHS, edited in Final Cut to trim the excess black, and exported as a Final Cut Movie that I imported into iDVD.
    As I said above, I have burned successfully on this computer and this iDVD, so the fact that this one project refuses to burn is perplexing.
    any thoughts?

    A gap in video would be a space between one clip and another. This is a problem when you are editing your footage, not capturing it. In other words, it is a user introduced problem.
    In FCP when you say "Ignore Timecode Breaks" it just means to continue capturing video even if there is a timecode break. If you do not select this option, FCP would immediately stop catpturing whenever it hit a timecode break. A timecode break is not the same thing as a gap you create during editing. A timecode break could be as simple as rewinding your camera footage and then recording over it... the timecode now has a break because it is not continuous timecode, it jumps from one timecode to another.
    Depending on what device you are capturing from, your audio may come in a few frames before or after the video. This would be especially true for a non-controllable device. It is a simple fix to adjust this as you would have noticed any sync issues right in the timeline during playback.
    A system reboot in the middle of encoding is a serious crash... I doubt if it is the footage per se that is causing this to happen. Footage has been known to force an application to abort a process (or stay in an infinite loop), but an actual system shutdown would be extremely rare.
    Consider recapturing the footage into a new FCP project and then creating a new iDVD project for it, this will eliminate either a corrupted FCP file or an iDVD project from the equation. Also, are you burning directly to disc or are you preparing a disc image? I'd go with the disc image approach because you can test your final build that way.

  • IDVD freezing during burn process

    I was trying to burn my DVD project onto a disc and iDVD kept freezing during the middle of it. It just so happened to always freeze during step 2 of the process, but Im not sure if that is just a coincidence or not. Any suggestions at how to get the program to burn my project without freezing up in the middle ?
    Thanks
    I am using iDVD 4

    Thanks dispatx.com, that page was of immense help. I found much of it very encouraging simply knowing that someone has gone through the exact same thing, missing deadlines, sleep, etc.
    I gathered as much info as I could and have successfully burned a DVD image now using the "Easter Egg" hurz & pfurz. Why doesn't apple include that in the program?
    I cleaned up my powerbook prior to burning with OnyX. I trashed the iDVD preferences. I created a new project in iDVD using the same footage I had exported from FCP as QT movies, not self contained. I included songs I downloaded from the iTunes store (debunking the myth that the protected songs foul up the burning process). I held down ctrl and clicked burn, named the image, and then it went to work.
    Timeline:
    6:00am started step 1, 10 secondes later, step 2 begins.
    9:00 Step 3, Asset Encoding begins (Hallelujah, I never could get to this step)
    9:50 Step 4 begins, mulitplexing
    10:20 Image is ready and iDVD is asking me to name the image again, I finally figured out this gives me the option of burning several copies, I did and it only took another 15 minutes to create another image instead of starting the whole process over again.
    10:40 I drop it into disk utility and burn a 3.7 GB DVD in 20 minutes.
    Oliver Luker accurately observes and records CPU usage at each of the steps so that helped me know NOT to cancel even when Activity monitor showed iDVD as not responding.
    I went with best performance because too many people were reporting over 60 minutes and best quality as not working well, and I need this DVD done. I had an extras section in the DVD that I yanked. But I don't understand why we are limited to less than 60 minutes. This angers me a bit and I'm determined to find a way to have a good looking DVD with over 60 minutes of footage that will burn through iDVD. I don't want to buy DVDSP, yet.
    Good luck everyone.

  • 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.)

  • IDVD ejects disc during burning process of Dual Layer DVD

    Hi,
    I am trying to burn a 3hr iMovie project of a recent holiday trip. Due to its size, it therefore needs to go on a Dual Disc DVD. I intend to burn 8 copies, one for each member of the holiday.
    I successfully burned the first disc in iDVD, however since then, the disc prematurely ejects at the "Multiplexing and Burning" stage, (At the 'Writing Lead In' stage within this) ,usually with 31mins remaining
    I am burning at 4x , I have 27GB free space and I am using AONE Plus DVDs. I have read many discussions on here about buying Verbatim DVD-R's which i can do, but with the first dvd burning successfully, I would prefer to try other options before I commit to purchase..
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me
    Max

    Hi again,
    I purchased a pack of Verbatim DVD-R DL Discs, tried the iDVD route and it ejected at the burning and multiplexing stage again. Not only this, but after burning and trying that same failed disc again, it actually contains part of the project, so this disc is now unusable.
    After this I went the Disc Utility option as you advised and successfully got to the end until the 'closing session' section. Here, it continues to load and says it is 'closing the session' and i can hear my Disc drive spinning away, stopping, then starting to spin again (this continues to happen forever and ever)
    Any suggestions at this stage would be great as i'm truly at a lost cause now..
    Thanks

  • DVD verify fail, during burning procedure

    When I burn CD's never had a problem, but when I try to burn a DVD always have the same problem, the burning procedure finish without problems, but when start the verify procedure always fail.
    I'm using Verbatim DVD-R, I think is a good DVD, and I tried the burning procedure with Disk Utility and Toast 7 titanium with the exact result.
    What can I do?
    Thank you.

    Hi
    The first thing I would do is try another brand of DVDs. DVD drives are choosey about the discs you use. On Macs they only support Apple DVD officially.
    Maxell work well with mine. Other generics burn slower and sometimes fail.
    Cheers

  • [SOLVED] "Filesystem check failed" during boot process

    I was using XFCE on my netbook recently and clicked "shutdown".  It logged out to the command prompt and nothing happened.  Assuming that I'd clicked "logout" by mistake, I typed "pacman -Syu" to run an update...  And moments later it suddenly started the shutdown process.
    Now, whenever I boot up, I see the message below.  I tried booting from a GParted CD to check the filesystems for errors, but none were detected.

    As mentioned already, the reason it's failing is because the /dev/sdb2 partition is mounted before it can be fsck'd. What is this partition exactly (which filesystem, what's on it, mountpoint,...)?
    I'm not overly familiar with the Linux boot process, but why would it suddenly be mounting this partition before fsck-ing it?  Even if it was mounted when the netbook shutdown, surely the boot process starts with all partitions unmounted...?  Anyway, the partition details from /etc/fstab are below.
    <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0

    /dev/sdb1 /home ext2 defaults,noatime,user_xattr 0 1
    /dev/sdb2 /usr ext2 defaults,noatime 0 1
    I'm (now) aware that mounting /usr as a separate partition is a bad idea and (having read the "Error when booting with the new initscripts" thread), I have told pacman to ignore updates to the initscripts package (until I figure out how best to work round or fix that issue).

  • MSI cr52-a2 reset occured during burn process

    The problem I have is when I burn a CD. the cd burns to 2% and then the drive stops and and message on nero is "reset occurred" and "could not complete disk at once lead out". i have enabled dma on my hard drive and my cd writer, it works fine as a cd rom and i have an up to date firmware and aspi drivers. can any one help me with this matter?
    ED

    Might be a problem with Nero itself. Try updating it to the latest version, which is 6.3.1.17, and see what happens.
    Also, this is less probable, it might not like the media you are using. Once you update and Nero and are still have the problem, use a different kind of CD-R/CD-RW and see what happens.
    If THAT still does not work. Try a completely different burning program like CDRWin or Easy Creator 7 and see if the problem appears there as well.
    A rare cause of that problem is the IDE cable, if you are still have a problem, check that to make sure that it is in working order (no tears or exposed wires). If all else fails, RMA!  

  • IDVD crashes during burn process

    Ok, I updated to LION and now iDVD ill not burn any dvds for me
    Its starts the process and then quits unexpectedly.
    I have tried the "plist solution" however, my directory is not at all the same. The library folder that contains the preferences is in a different location and no plist for iDVD was found.
    I have no idea whats going on
    my iDVD is v 7.2.1
    Please help...

    Hi
    There are no iDVD v 7.2.1 - last release was v 7.1.2
    There are at least two Libraries on Your Mac
    • Root level one - when You open first window of Your Start-Up hard disk - this is the WRONG one
    • Home Folder - Macintosh HD / Users / Your Home folder / Library / Preferences - and here it is
    (BUT ON Macs using OS X.7 (Lion) this folder is hidden and needs to be set visibly - search forum to find out how - I'm still in OS X.6.? )
    Easier way to get it to work is - Start a new User account and log into this - this forces Mac OS to do all Preferences new and Error Free.

  • Drive keeps failing during burning.

    ok, i just got a bunch of stuff off of iTunes for christmas and i was burning them to discs. now every time i try to burn a disc it gets about four or five songs in and the drive starts making a lot of noise and vibration. the disc pops out and an error message pops up saying something about a medium burn failure.
    it was working fine just a little while ago and it still plays cds i've just burned. and its not like the burner isn't working at all considering it gets a few songs into the cd before it craps out. i tried it on multiple album/playlists. not sure what the deal is or how to fix it. any ideas, suggestions, answers, or insults are very welcome.

    It does sound like the drive could be starting to fail. But before we assume the worst try to burn a CD with a different brand of CDs. It could be that you have a batch of bad media.
