Help burning DVD w/Toast 7

I'm not able to burn a DVD of a movie w/ iTunes on the soundtrack using Toast 7 on external LaCie burner (no superdrive on my iMac). When I drag the movie into Toast, dialog says 'only apple iTunes can burn data'. I'm 'iTunes authorized' on my iMac so what's up?
Deano

The quick and dirty way is to burn the iTunes song(s) to CD,
Put the CD Into the drive open iMovie and select the soundtrack off the CD to import into iMovie's timeline at the same position on the timeline as the old soundtrack that you're going to replace.
PS. The iDVD forum can help you with burning an iDVD project or creating an iDVD disk image to burn to an external burner (Superdrive not required) if you're interested.

Desperately needs help burning DVD from iPhoto

I am using iPhoto 6.0.6. I desperately need help burning a DVD of a slide show that I created for my daughter's wedding.
I put several songs together by opening them and then combining them using QuickTime Pro. I imported the audio into iTunes and created a slide show using iPhoto. The slide show is perfect! The slides are finally in sink with the music just as I want them! But I don't know how to burn the slide show as a DVD.
I tried exporting the video from iPhoto to my computer, but at the end of the export, I get this message: please note that the music included in the slideshow can only be played on authorized machines. And when I try to play the video (after the export), most of the music on the video cannot be heard. When I try to authorize my machine, I am told that it's already authorized.
If someone would send detailed instructions on how to proceed, I would greatly appreciate it.
Greg

Is your problem the DRM audio tracks you purchased from iTunes store?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Help! Mac OS X error -39 when burning DVD in toast 8; -36 in Toast 7

iMac just over 1 year old - core duo on 10.4.9. Recently, I've been doing a lot more video work using the super drive. When burning recordings from Eye TV 2.3.3 to Toast 8 using LG DVD-R 1-8x blanks, I had two writes to fail and on the third try I got an error -39 (end of file.) I've not had any problems with these disks writing at 2x speed. I tried a GQ 16x DVD-R, which I had been using, and the write completed, but when playing back with DVD player the disc hung and I got a -36 error stating that disc may be dirty or scratched. My discs are fine. Also, I tried a write to an LG disc using Toast 7 and got a can't write error -36. Is the drive dirty, dusty or failing? The DVD writer is the internal drive that comes with the iMac not an external drive - Thanks for suggestions and help.
If the drive is dirty, how do you clean it without opening the case? Can you put the straw on the air duster through the slot and give it a spray safely? Seems like that would work but probably not recommended by tech support.

Those errors are Mac OS X errors.
-36 ioErr I/O error (bummers)
-39 eofErr End of file; no additional data in the format
I suspect a defective drive. I've tried three different kinds of DVD blanks including a Sony DVD-R and same problems with all. Time to back up my files and take it in.
BTW - here's a list of all the Mac OS X error codes for those who might want or need them.

I think it would be easier for others to help or giving you suggestion if you can tell in more details regarding the configuration of your system. Such as, is the DVD writer is newly brought? and/or how the DVD writer is connecting to your system (such as whether it is directly connecting to the firewire port of your mac or daisy chained to other firewire device or firewire hub, etc)?

Maximum length of film to burn DVD on Toast

Hi Panel
Thanks again for all your help - new question. My film is 1 hr and 20 minutes long - can I burn this at best quality in Toast - or must I keep to 60 minutes? I am in a rush as this film must be ready for Sunday - I can't experiment either as I don't have an individual DVD player - my last effort I had to go up country to view it - thats why I took so long to tell you thanks. When I exported my first project to Quick Time full quality it knocked off the last 4 clips - the movie was only 42 minutes long - but Toast didn't tell me until it reached the end of the burn - than said 4 clips unsupported and DVD failed - you could still play the DVD but the player complained that the DVD had an error on it - don't really like to play the DVD like that in case it harms the player. That is why I am asking your advice. I can remove 12 minutes of movie but it would be a shame - but I'll still be longer than the 60 minutes by 7 minutes.
Can you advise?
Many thanks
peckerpac

I was obviously too late to get a reply in time - can u tell me when the group stops for the weekend?
... well.... this is an international board, people in the US are surprised, when I'm answering "in the middle of the night", vice versa I receive a yelling Good Morning form new Zealand, when I post in the middle of MY night... this is a 24/7 forum....
obviously...
your Q was very... Toast related, you asked in the iM4 section.. Roxio has its own support forum.- give it a try.

URGENT HELP Burning DVD from Final Cut Pro

I have a video due to buyers bye wednesday. If anyone knows how to take the movie I made and burn it to a DVD, please let me know as soon as you can. It wont let me export it to iDVD and when I try to "print to video" my camcorder only picks up the sound and not the video. I need help PLEASE!!!!!!!!! Thanks everyone. Zack

For exporting to iDVD, chose FILE>EXPORT>QUICKTIME MOVIE (not quicktime conversion). Select SELF CONTAINED and USE TIMELINE SETTINGS. Then import this file into iDVD and when you click BURN, it will compress it to the DVD format for you.
As for the Print to Video issue, look at the following list to see if it is one of these:
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

Burning dvd's (Toast alternatives)

I'm still using Roxio Toast 8 to burn audio cd's, data disks and dvd's. The last one by burning a Video_TS folder. Toast 8 still works, but for example the progress window is now blank so I can't see what's going on. Toast 8 is to old to update. So I'm looking for an alternative. Any AppStore apps which do the same thing I do when using Toast? So: burning audio CD's, data CD's, copy discs, creating DVD's from video files and burning a Video_TS folder to work as a DVD?

The size of your pre-encoded video files is moot. iDVD will convert your files to mpeg-2 in order to burn the DVD, and when it does so all it cares about is run-length.
Depending upon your iDVD settings, you can fit up to 2 hours on a single-layer DVD. Be aware that that also includes menus and other resources that are in your iDVD project.

Burned DVD in Toast 9 will not play in DVD Player

I used Toast 9 to burn a DVD from a Video_TS folder. The DVD plays fine on my Mac, but will not work on any other DVD Player. The Video is in PAL format and I am using a DL DVD - any suggestions??

Since I don't know what region you are in, it's hard to answer but if you are in the USA then you can't play PAL on most set top DVD Players. You have to have NTSC standard.

Help burning DVD

When I burn my final DVD, I get some strange posterizing effects. I've tried re-exporting my video from FCP and now I want to burn a "test" DVD but when I try I get a warning that "a VIDEO_TS Directory already exists. Choosing delete will overwrite the existing VIDEO_TS contents."
What does this mean? Will it overwrite my current project or can I go ahead and burn my test without losing my project?
Thanks!

It will overwrite the DVD that you previous created.
You can choose another burn folder, or delete that folder or overwrite it.
If you elect to overwrite it, then the test DVD that gave you trouble will be deleted and replaced by the new one.
The project stays intact.
please take the time to mark a response as solved or helpful
best wishes

Eject the disk.
In disk Utility, select the disk image file and click the burn button.
A drop down window should appear and ask for a blank disk. Insert the disk.
Soon the window should change and show burn options, and the burn button at the bottom right should turn blue. Choose any options you need and click the blue burn button.

Cannot create DVD image or burn DVD on G4 Mac mini (error #-34502)

Hello!
I'ts pretty strange... I've created some DVD projects with iDVD on my Mac mini (G4, 1.25 GHz, all system updates installed, extra internal DVD burner installed), but I'm not able to burn a DVD neither to save an image file with iDVD. I do always get an error message which includes this error id: #-34502.
However, burning DVDs with Toast or the Finder does work.
There is already a techdoc for this error code, but the described "solution" does not help on my projects. All content is within the tv save area, that cannot be the problem that I'm facing right now.
I've also tried to remove the iDVD caches from ~/Libray/Caches and I've removed the preferences from ~/Library/Preferences. None of these "tricks"
did solve my problem.
iDVD does always render the content and when it starts to multiplex, this mystic error message appears and the process is stopped.
Does anybody else have an idea or a tip that might help?

more than enough apple stuff Mac OS X (10.4.5)

The machine was working fine for more than a year. It was running EyeTV all of the time, cutting videos and archiving movies. No problem there ...
I know you're going to find this "unacceptable":
That doesn't mean anything when it comes to RAM and iDVD. iDVD will find any RAM quality weakness. Weakness that even RAM testing software won't find. I've seen it a lot here.
Apple (OEM), Micron (Crucial.com), and Samsung are highly regarded. I even saw a removed Micron solve an encoding problem. Hey, nothing is prefect.

Toast 7 and burning DVD's

Hey everyone I just wanted to let you know that I bought Toast 7 and it is by far the best CD/DVD burning software out there. The new stuff they have put on there just makes it worth every penny! One thing I wanted to let you all know though is that if you rip a DVD with MacTheRipper you have to extract the whole thing, not just the main feature for Toast 7 to read it. For more information on burning DVD's check out my site...
And as usual, if you have any questions about anything Mac related feel free to drop me a line.

Hi
I suggest you try * Creating Disc Image in DVDSP * and burning it with Toast. That way you'll be 100% sure about your disc format.
Hope that helps !

This reply is late, and I hope your issue was solved, but here is what I did when getting the error "Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR Sense Code = 0x73, 0x03" repeatedly when trying to burn a DVD in Toast:
Researched the web for help.
Ran Disc Utility off of system installer CD to no avail.
Deleted Toast pref file from library – no luck with this.
Wrapped credit card in eyeglass cleaning cloth and inserted several times into SuperDrive (iMac Intel Core Duo machine) – voilà! Successful burning!
