Having to burn multiple DVDs to check quality and etc of clip, any other???

Ok I have heard about (http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/). My question is, will that let me see my clips as if it where being played on a DVD player? For example: Sometimes I compress a clip and it looks as if everytime someone moves they have lines on them, but when I burn it on DVD and watch it on my TV it looks fine or vise versa. Also sometimes when I compress something and burn it and play it on the TV the people have like this ghosting affect when they move but not when I watch the compressed file on my mac. Basicly I am tiered of wasting my DVDs just to make sure it looks ok. Will this "http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/" solve my problem?
thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you save the project to Disk Image first you might be able to burn two at a time. Saving as a disk image lets you check the encoding with DVD Player first before committing to disk. Then burn it with Disk Utility at the slowest speed possible.
Yesterday's MacOSXHints site has a hint on how to open multiple occurrences of the same application, in this case Disk Utilty: An easy way to run multiple instances of any program.
If that didn't work you could use Disk Utiltiy to burn the disk image while using iDVD to burn directly from the project. The first burn would be very slow as it would have to redo the encoding but then it would go pretty fast after that. Be sure to give the drives a bit of a rest. You don't want them to overhead and fail which is possible.

I have an '09 15" mac book pro running os x mavericks and I'm having trouble burning a dvd.

I have an '09 15" mac book pro running os x mavericks and I'm having trouble burning a dvd. In iMovie, I sent my movie to file and then to iDVD to burn a copy. It was saved in Documents. When I went to iDVD, the thumbnail image of the movie to be burned was faded and inoperable. What's going on now?

Did you export the movie out of iMovie as 480p? Next just drag the movie from the Documents folder into the iDVD menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Lastly follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty 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, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is 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.

I have been having trouble burning a DVD.

I have been having trouble burning a DVD. It goes through all the steps until it gets to the multiplexing "burn" step and then with 3 minutes left the disk pops out. The disk is left empty and an error comes up. I have been able to burn DVD's before, so this is frustrating.

Well - not correct answer as I understands it - This is a very complex question. In my case I'de put a button just touching the TV-Safe area boarder. Moving it a minute inside and the Error disappeared.
BUT - there are so many other things that I collected a long long list on this - read and see if You find help here.
Multiplexing Error
PART One.
Use of strange video/audio material eg .avi, .wmv, .mp3 etc.
I only use.
Video - StreamingDV (miniDV tape via FireWire) and
Audio = .aiff (as on audio-CDs) (else coverted to this .aff 48KHz)
Chapters !
A. Using strange letters in video project name eg +,/; etc. keep to a-z and 0-9 strange letters in project name eg +
as described by Donnyboy69. Does the title of your project have any symbols or decimal points in it. If so, that is why you are getting the error. I had a project that had a + sign which caused the same problem. I renamed it without the symbol and low and behold, it worked.
B. Location of Chapters
• Can’t be at start or end of movie (Skip first/start one - iDVD sets this by it self. At the End - no need)
• Not in a transition (or within 2-3 seconds from it)
Important when from iMovie HD6 or previous - Now also observed when using FCE 4
PART Two.
from Robert Modero.
"Multiplexing Error. Problem during initialization of tracks"
Simply remember to add subtitles to your Quicktime files and menu buttons.
Once I did that, I was back in business.
from Boise Jim
Do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on grey background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
I always makes a DiskImage first and test this so that it runs OK
I use only - Verbatim DVDs
I use only - DVD-R
I burn at an as slow speed possibly eg x1
This gives good DVDs
PART Three.
Multiplex Error

Back again. Here is what I have found to work. I also have and use a LaCie DVD-R/RW DL external drive and a LaCie external hard drive as well. Since yesterday I have tried a few ways to burn a themed iDVD project having four 56 minute movies on it, amounting to 226 minutes onto a DVD DL disc, capacity 240 minutes. Apple tech support really didn't know what to do but gave me a very good tip. I had two options left. Apple tech support's tip was to try disc image. One of the replies on a thread with this subject said not to, but my experience today is good. Put your project onto "Burn to disc image," under "iDVD, file." Yesterday encoding took me 23 1/2 hours. Overnight for iDVD disc image, encoding took 21 1/2 hours (again) while I slept. This morning I tried to copy/burn disc image to a DVD with Roxio Toast 7, and it stopped near the end of the burn with some kind of "error" message. So then I tried Utilities> Disc Utility> Burn icon, and followed it through. Be sure to click the DVD DL drive in the window "Burn disc in.". I had one other problem though. At the end of a 46 minute copy, it started to verify, and at the end of verify it rejected the burn. So I tried again, and when "verify" appeared, I clicked on "Skip." The disc finished burning and is doing fine and well. A long and tortuous process, but at last something works. I made several additional copies using Disc Utility. Best wishes. Chuck, Chicago.
2. Disconnect any other external devices not absolutly needed.
eg external USB/USB2 hard disks, other FW hard disks etc.
3 Chapter marks in transitions - minimum 2 sec from

First, I do not think that mixing widescreen and standard makes a difference in iDVD.
Second, you should use a better brand of DVD disk. Also, many of us have experienced fewer problems on playback with DVD-R disks. Recommended brands here are Verbatim, Maxell and Taio Yuden. Memorex and TDK are not consistent and may not give you a correct burn. They apparently have fewer layers in the composition of the disk. I have always used Verbatim DVD-R disks and have not had any burn problems.
Also, choose a slower burn speed, 4x or less.
Third, to determine if the iDVD project will burn properly, create a disk image file (from within iDVD, go File->Save as Disk Image) and test it. Mount the disk image and then open DVD Player (in Applications) and view your project. If it plays correctly, you can then burn the actual DVD disk from the disk image file using Disk Utility.

I did everything I've seen suggested, but a friend (who used to be an Apple Genius) suggested that I do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on grey background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
It worked, and I got a clean burn from iDVD.
Hopefully this can help other people.

Well, I finally got it, and it was odd enough to post here incase anyone looks this topic up again. Many things were tried, including burning the uneditited film, the edited film without titles and chapter markers, abbreviating the chapter markers in case length was the issue (remember the old iMovie used to truncate them when moving to iDVD?). In the process, I noticed that one, and only one, chapter marker was on the same line as the title marker. All the others were on the line above. The only way I seemed able to change that was to clip a few seconds of film. After that last clip, the offending marker took a place on the line above, as were all the others. That run published, compiled completely and burned. That's one for the books.
*One user more writes*
To add my experience with Multiplex Errors using iDVD (7.0.4), I recently created two iDVD projects
Video from both passed from FCE 4.01 with chapters
One project worked fine in creating disk image file
The other gave Multiplex Errors
I tried suggestions to remove special characters and no chapter marks at beginning, but nothing worked
Note that I've used iDVD for dozens of projects and this is first time I've run into Multiplex Errors
Anyway, for problem project, I tried an experiment where I removed all chapters in FCE and passed to new iDVD project
This time multiplex errors gone
So had something to do with chapters
So now I tried numerous experiments to remove individual chapters and try again creating disk image with new iDVD project
After numerous trys, I was able to narrow problem down to 1 "Bad" chapter mark
That is, when I left the "bad" chapter in my FCE project and passed to iDVD, iDVD gave multiplex error
When I removed "bad" chapter mark (and others in), no mulitplex error
As a final experiment, I moved "bad" chapter mark about 5-10 secs beyond original point and passed to iDVD, the multiplex errors now magically went away and I was able to finally create my disk image.
I have no idea why this worked, but thought I'd mention here in case someone else runs into similar problem.

In addition to Bengt's fine advice, burning errors can occur if you have located any of your menu buttons wholly or partly outside of the safe TV viewing area. Go to your main project menu, then click on View/Show TV Safe Area, to check. Drag into the safe viewing area any buttons that are outside the safe viewing area.
Russ One - suggest this
Multiplexer Error-There was an error during muxing preparation
One thing that worked for me was to export the video w/o chapter markers as a self contained movie (thereby not loosing the edits & etc). Then make a new FCE project and import that movie into a new sequence and add the chapter markers. I've used "-", "&" and "," with no problem in the chapter names. Removing the markers or exporting without them did solve the problem but renaming them with just numbers 1,2,3....5, did not solve the problem and since this problem seems to happen with with iMovie as well, it would suggest the problem is in the video or audio and in combination with the chapter markers iDVD just can't handle it. The only other possibility is that both iMovie and FCE share the same or similar chapter marker code that some how is corrupting the markers.
Yours Bengt W

Burn multiple dvd's at once

Does anyne know if there is a way or a program to burn multiple dvd's to let's say 4 firewire dvd burners at the same time? This may be a stupid question but I really don't want to buy a duplicator if I can buy 4 firewire burners and use them at the same time. Has anyone done this?

An application called Dragon Burn can burn multiple DVDs simultaneously.

You may be able to find iDVD as part of the iLife 11 Retail Package. It is no longer sold by Apple, but you may find it on eBay or Amazon.
Other options include Toast from Roxio.

Wondering if iDVD can burn multiple DVDs

Hello,
I am trying to burn an iDVD project to a single layer DVD but the size of the iDVD project won't fit on a single layer DVD. I've already adjusted the Encoding information (deselected Best Performance and chose either High Quality or Professional Quality, forgot which one right now). But after doing this, it still won't fit nicely on a single layer DVD. Can iDVD span multiple discs for a large project?
I know if I buy some dual-layer DVDs, it would fit. But right now, I am wondering if spanning multiple DVD discs is do-able within iDVD.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Let's say your movie runs 140 minutes. You need to take in into iMovie and split it into two 70 minute movie segments and then create an iDVD project for each of the two new movies.

Having trouble burning a dvd - error message.

I recently bought a 2009 macbook on ebay, and when I tried to burn a dvd, it didn't work and would scratch up my discs. I informed the person I bought it from, and they were nice enough to replace the drive. I just got it back in the mail and have been trying to burn dvds, but I keep getting an error message when using Toast version 10 and also trying on Toast 8 that says:
The Drive reported an error;
Sense Key = Medium Error
Sense Code = 0x02
NO SEEK COMPLETE
It will start burning on and then when writing the lead out on toast 10, it gives me an error, and that was the error message I caught when I tried to burn using toast 8. With toast 8 it barely started before that message came up. I have been trying with Sony DVD-R discs that I am able to use on my mom's iMac from 2008. I'm confused; should I try a different kind of disc?

Welcome to discussions.
Be certain to use good DVD media.
You may want to try using Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R 4X.
Also, save the project as a disk image and burn it as slowly as possible with either the disk utility or Toast™.

I'm trying to burn a DVD on an iMac and Nothing is working

I Purchased a new iMac with the intent to edit videos I've shot and burn them to DVDs. I discovered that the new operating system has no video editing or DVD burning software in it. I tried several software with no success. Then I got roxio Toast 12 pro. Ok that says its compa

If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Softwareor eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty 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, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is 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.
You do know that the new iMacs do not have an optical drive needed to burn CDs and DVDs, right. You'll need to get an external optical drive. I suggest you avoid Apple's Superdrive as that is only USB 2 capable and is a slot loader. I prefer optical drives that are either USB 3 or FW800 capable. You can find such drives at otherworldcomputing.com. I bought and use this one: 24X OWC Mercury Pro 800/400+USB3 SuperMulti-Drive.
It is a drawer loading drive which is less likely to get a disk stuck in it. It also is very fast when reading disks or ripping music CDs.
Toast can create a video DVD as can other apps available from the App Store. However, none of them are as versatile or can create multiple menus or looks as professional as iDVD. The last version of iDVD, 7.1.2, works with Yosemite.

I have been trying to burn a DVD for weeks now and the same message pops up every time..."error during the rendering/encoding of the menus/slideshow." What can I do to burn my DVD? thanks!
