Having difficulty sharing a project to DVD

I have a project that isn't burning to the DVD-R, but isn't giving me an error message. I have burnt 2 successfully, one with menus, one without, so I know the burner is compatible. It gets through many of the steps but when it starts the actual burning step, it stops at 5% and just keeps churning. After a couple of hours the spinner goes away (stops churning) but it is still at 5% complete but there is no error message and nothing on the DVD. It is large project but smaller than one of the other 2 that I was able to burn successfully. I have over 600GB free, so shouldn't be a space problem. Not sure what else to try, or tell you to help me understand what my problem is.
Thank you!

When I do this same process with a project that does not contain menus, it was able to burn to a DVD and also a file.
Is this with the exact same Project, that is now giving you issues?
WMV's are process-intensive to handle, and are designed for streaming delivery, and not editing - especially in any version of Premiere.
Now, it appears that the error is occurring at about 5% (is that 5% of the Encoding, or the physical burn?) of the Encoding process, if I read above correctly. What is the Duration of your Timeline, in hours;minutes;seconds;frames? We can do the math (PrE uses 2-pass Encoding, so that 50% is the end of the first pass in that Encoding.
When one uses Burn to Folder, there is no physical "burning," being doine, only files being written, and then the DVD-Video file/folder structure being created.
The steps in the process are:
Encoding of the Timeline's Assets to a Video-only file, and to an Audio-only file.
Combining/Multiplexing of those two Steams into one MPEG-2 DVD file.
Deleting the separate, individual Stream files.
Encoding Menus (Motion Menus take a moment longer)
Creation of the VOB files, which are containers for the Menus, any navigation, and then spanning the MPEG-2 DVD file, if necessary, though several VOB files.
Writing the IFO and BUP files.
Adding the IFO, BUP and VOB files to the VIDEO_TS folder.
Burning that VIDEO_TS folder and files to disc, or just leaving it, where one chose for the destination location.
What I would do is look at about the 10% point in the Timeline, to determine what is there, and how it might differ from the first part of the Timeline. Assests, such as overly-large Still Image, MP3 Audio files, etc., can cause Encoding issues.
Good luck,
Hunt

Having issues encoding a project for DVD.

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies. I'm working on a 1 month old Macbook pro retina 15'' Intel Core i7, 2.8 GHz, 16 GB. Premier CC reaches 80% finished when exporting an mpeg2 for dvd, and then gives and error/unexpectedly quits. I've made 5 attempts to create the dvd file which is just under an hour long in runtime. The project was saved on an external drive, I moved it to the macbook internal hard drive and the error still happens at 80%. Is there a way to check and see if a certain clip is corrupted and causing this error?

I found a solution to export an hour long doc that worked with Premier CC,
File > Project Settings > General > Renderer
The Renderer is set to default as: Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Open CL)
Change this to: Mercury Playback Engine Software Only
After weeks of exports failing at 80% changing this setting worked and it spit my MPEG2 file out in no time.
Hope this helps

Having difficulty sharing photos

I have been sharing my photos easily. Just did it a few days ago. Now I get a message sayng that the email server didn’t recognize my username/password combination. I haven't touched anything or changed anything. I am abroad and wanted to send vacation photos. Frustrated!

Waht email service?
in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
OR
IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

Getting a 90 min fce-hd project onto DVD

Hello,
I have a 90 minute HD project completed in my timeline and I'm having difficulty getting it onto DVD. The "self-contained" movie file is 50 GBs. Can iDVD handle a compression of this size
or do I absolutely need COMPRESSOR to realize a decent quality DVD?
Thanks for any help.

Hi(Bonjour)!
Here's the process to burn DVD for household DVD player:
In FCE use export to quicktime, uncheck "self contained". There is not quicktime encoding at this stage. The encoding process will occur in iDVD itself uppon burning. It's an invisible process.
Drag the resulting file in a new iDVD project.
From this stage, it's the total length of your movie(s) and all animated menus in iDVD that rules the choice of your support(DVD blank).
You have to use single layer for a total of 2 hours, or dual layers for 4 hours (if your mac can support this blank DVD). Check your iDVD preference to select the right encoding method, best quality or better performances.
Click the burn button., and voilà.

What is the best way to exporting a 1080 HD project to DVD

I am on the final stages of finishing my first ever HD project, having made the jump Premiere Pro 2.0 to Premiere CS5. Mid-way thru I found it necessary to upgrade to Creative Cloud, so that is where I am working now. The HD world is so vastly different from the old SD flow that every single step of this project has been a huge learning curve for me. I am basically an 'oldie' but for all practical purposes I am a total 'newbie' at this.
That said, I am now finding myself ready to export my project to DVD in a SD form with Stereo sound. This is where my first problem is. After I get this handled then I will attack the BluRay Surround Sound issue, but for now I need advice on the SD disc.
I am working with footage shot on the Red Epic. At my current stage I am working withh ProRes 444 renders from which I have created a full nested 74 minute timeline. Frame rate is 23.976 and the source is1920x1080 with 1.0 square pixels.
So now my movie is done, and it looks and sounds like I want it to. The question now, in a nutshell, is what file type and settings should I use to export my movie so that I can retain aspect ratio? Should I output a movie first or take the project into another program like encore first and make my disc from there?
Also, I have my first screening coming up (primarily for cast and crew and industry insiders) in a couple of weeks, so I need to create a 1080 HD File with my 5.1 surround track that I project from a laptop. The screening venue has the capability to do that via a simple HDMI cable hookup, but does the laptop I use need to have any special capabilities to do the job? And what is the best file type to use for that?
I have always been more of an artist than a tech head, but I am pretty much doing the whole post on this movie alone, with the exception of the Dissolve renders and the sound design, which I had done for me (I have a great finished 5.1 design in .wav format, as well as a stereo version).
I should also mention that I currently have Encore CS5. Can I work with this on a Premiere CC project?
Any and all help would really be appreciated.

Thanks, this helps. I am currently encoding the feature for the SD version and will take it into Encore as soon as it is finished.
I think I may bypass the bluray for now and go to my next question, which is:
Do I need anything special in the way of a laptop in order to project an HD 5.1 Surround Sound copy of my movie? Does the laptop have to have any special capabilities? I can create a 5.1 copy of my movie but my laptop only shows stereo features. Will I still be able to project the movie in 5.1?

Working at a newspaper, I'm having difficulty making a presentation made in Indesign and must be transformed in an application for Ipad / IOs.
That occurs in DPS consgigo generate the file .ipa put it nsao install on Device, getting the message "installing" all the time.
If I get the zip file and the xml of the person who generated the folios, as indicating that the DPS?
grateful

In fact, it is listed in the devices profile file. The problem I see is the steps to production of an APP.
Made as follows:
My friend created the folios in InDesign (with your login) on another machine. Provided in a shared folder.
I already have the contents of the application. From here, I believe he should publish through the Folio Producer and then I create the Application Builder IOs in DPS app in Title citing the Login ID he used to publish the content.
Hence, I believe that would only make the Download Device and see install APP.
Is this the correct sequence?
Please.

Having difficulty connecting apple tv with amazon instant video

II'm having difficulty connecting apple tv with amazon instant video or it won't stay connected. Help!

Is it naive of me to think that Apple should simply provide a portal on their Apple TV menu for me to access my Amazon Instant Video movies?
Maybe a little. Amazon is a direct competitor, so it is not really in Apple's best interest to go out of its way to add support for a competing service that will cause Apple to lose money. The bigger problem though is all of these video services using DRM to encrypt their content and lock it away from consumers so we can only watch content we pay for on certain devices. Compaired to before when you could buy a DVD and watch it on any TV. Now when you buy content you can only using it on a few specific devices.
Is their failure to do so about an Amazon/Apple rivalry, or because the two have to make some kind of deal before this can happen
They are competitors, but a bigger issue is that it is an incredibility complex legal agreement they would have to work out. First there are legal agreements that would have to be worked out with literally thousands of copyright holders to distribute their content. Then there is the software licenncing since Apple and Amazon would have to disclose how their DRM encrption works, then there are pateint agreements that can be worth billions that have to be worked out. And all of that work would be so that they support a competator. So there is not a lot motivating them to do something that would cost a lot of money and time.
If watching Amazon content is really your major priority you might want to return your ATV and get a Roku.

HI! I have a new macbook air but having difficulty connecting to a router if I am about 10 meters away. My iMac, iPad, iPhones and iPods can connect easily. Is there something that I need to configure? I have no issues if I am close to it. Thank you!

Hello, If you are dealing with one of the really thin iMac's that have no superdrive, then the superdrive icon should not appear on the desktop when you plug it in, but when you put in a disk (CD, DVD, etc.) that should appear. If you go into disk utility, and look at superdrive, that should be clickable and not grayed out when you have it plugged in. If this does not show up in disk utility, go to Apple, and ask to speak to their supervisor, speaking to a customer service agent is like talking to a potato, nothing gets done. Good Luck!

IMovie project to DVD without iDVD?

I'm a total newbie to iMovie and iDVD (using v. 4 of both). I'm trying to help my son get a simple 3-minute iMovie project onto a DVD for a school project. Teacher will play the DVD on a TV for whole class. My question is do I have to go through iDVD to burn a DVD that will play on a TV? Is there anyway to "Share" it straight out of iMovie since I don't need any fancy openings etc.?
To let you know what I've already tried: I "shared" the project out of iMovie as a Full Quality DV and then burned that to a DV+R disk just using the disk utility. My home DVD player said "error: incompatible disk". After reading these forums I see a DVD-R is recommended, and it's better to burn through Toast (I have v.6). If I make those two changes will I be successful?
Thanks for any help for a harried mom.

Hi LeeAnn,
welcome to the  board
as Matthew and Beverly wrote:
you need an "author" tool to create a videoDVD...
what you've done with Disk Utility is a dataDVD - which is, for sure, not readable for a DVDstandalone... (it is not a computer... just a player)
* in iDVD (which is an authoring, encoding and burning app) you can modify the themes down to the ground - in result, you are able to create a black screen with a single word "start"... not-fancy enough?
* Toast allows also authoring, but has not as many options as iDVD to create non-themes dvds.... depending on the Toast version, you can create autostart-dvds - that is without any menu... (you can accomplishh that with iDVD5/6...)
* there are some free tools on the market for creating DVDs, but this is a painstaking process... not recommended for the average user...
I would use iDVD...

How to export completed project to DVD?

I've recently returned to the Mac world based on jobs and have compiled a birthday video for my father in law. We are supposed to give him this video as a gift tomorrow night but I did the recent update to my iMovie and now am having trouble using the program.
Can anyone help me figure out how to burn my completed project to DVD? Under my Share command, the options listed are Theater, Email, iTunes, YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, CNN iReport and File. Any suggestions? I tried saving it under the "File" option and then importing it to iDVD but it looks like the file saves as an mp4, which doesn't want to import to iDVD.
Would love any help that can be provided!

First enter the DVD into the computer. Then go into "Share", click "Export Movie", and then find the DVD on the desktop or wherever it is on your computer and it'll export.
BUT
As I see it - there are two KIND's of DVDs
_ Data-DVD - to store files - Can not be played in any Standard DVD-player - and this is done on desktop/finder
_ Video-DVD - for movies to be played on standard DVD-Players - and to structure and en-code this one NEED a DVD-authoring program as iDVD, DVD Studio Pro, Roxio Toast™, Burn etc.
So What kind of DVD do You need ?
And if iMovie'13 (ver. 10.0.x) has NOT changed this. The Share to DVD will result in a Data-DVD (I do not have last version of iMovie to test - hench why I make this remark) but this goes for all iMovie till iMovie'11 (ver. 9.0.x).

I'm having difficulty importing purchased music from iTunes store to my new MacBook Air

I am having difficulty importing purchased music from iTunes to my new MacBook Air

What problem are you having ?
You should be able to copy your library from your old computer : How to move your iTunes library to a new computer. Or if both computers are connected to the same wifi network then you could use home sharing to copy it over. Or copy it from your backup of your downloads/library and add it via File > Add To Library.
You might also be able to redownload some/all of your past purchases via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage,or by going into iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) and ticking the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tickbox - it might then show in the Music part of your library with a cloud icon against it for redownloading.

How do I put an iMovie project on DVD? Cannot find iDVD...

I'm new to Mac. I created a project in iMovie. When I tried to share it to iDVD, it says cannot find iDVD. How do I write a movie project to DVD?

It's now confirmed that iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
HOWEVER, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still currently available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.
You might try the approach that Ziatron gives in his post in this topic to obtain a free copy: New Macbook Pro w/iLife - No iDVD: Apple Support Communities. If you're unsuccessful you can purchase the iLife disk from the link above.
