HELP!  Can't burn disc on i-DVD 5

I created an i-DVD project using a 5.0 Theme and it looks and runs great -- no problem creating it in i-movie nor in sending it to i-dvd. It has music, everything. It just refuses to burn. I've tried every angle I can think of. It doesn't even give me the option to burn -- light grey. When I tried using a burn folder and "forcing" it to burn, it tells me "No video tracks defined in the current project." Underneath that it says, "Error in project structure." This is the first project I've ever created in either program so space is not an issue. It's a 7:40 minute movie so it's not too long. I just think I must be doing something wrong - please help!

  • ITunes Won't Recognize Optical Drive / Can't Burn Discs.

    Hi. I’m having some problems w/ an installation of iTunes on a Windows 64 bit PC.  Specifically, when iTunes is installed, Windows 7 no longer recognizes the optical drive, and I can't burn discs via iTunes.  I’ve attempted to implement all the solutions identified here,
    Optical Drive is No Longer Recognized, or "Disc Burner or Software Not Found" alert after Install

    , and still find myself trapped in a vicious circle; i.e., (1) with iTunes installed Windows 7 no longer recognizes the optical drive, (2) Upon clearing the UpperFilters Value  of GEARAspiWDM  in the registry at  {4De36E965 … } Windows 7 functions as expected and I can play cds in iTunes, but iTunes produces an error messages at start up along the lines of “iTunes did not install properly. Or, there’s a registry error ”  In either case, I am not able to burn cds via iTunes.
    My most rigorous effort amounted to (1) uninstalling  all Apple products and third party GEAR driver update software via Control Panel, (2) a registry repair w/ Registry Mechanic and (3) reinstallation of all identifiable Apple software.  Still the problem remains.
    Apple I love you, but you’re bringing me down
    From iTunes Diagnostics (w/ UpperFilters Empty (I notice the Diagnostic Utility is also seeking a LowerFilters entry.  The registry doesn’t have references to LowerFilter at this location.  Maybe that’s the problem?)) …

  • Can't burn Verbatim Archival grade DVDs

    Hi there! I own a Powermac G5 Dual 2.0 Ghz with Tiger updated and a Pioneer dvd recorder Mod. DVR-110D Firmware ver. 1.37. I can't burn Verbatim Archival grade DVD-R because I always get the following error code: 0x8002006E. It happens with Finder burn and Toast 8 too! Is a solution there to fix this problem? Thanks for your help
    Greetings Fabry
    Powermac G5 2Ghz Dual   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Hi Fabrizio!
    I am particularly interested in your problem because I was about to buy some of those very disks!
    In fact, I started this thread some time ago:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4140243&#4140243
    I have been googling the error code, and from a variety of Mac related forums it appears that, as Templeton suggests, it is an incompatibility between the burner and the media.
    Some have had the problem with Matshita, some with Pioneer superdrives. Some have had success with exchanging one superdrive for another, some with using different media.
    What is strange is that Verbatim DVD-R of the 'regular' kind are the preferred brand here. I have read that F Shippey, who I hope will chip in here if he sees this thread, has tried the Verbatim Archival grade DVDs.
    We need a bigger user sample!
    Have you tried burning them at only 2x or 4x in Toast?
    Do you have any problems burning 'normal' Verbatim DVDs?

  • Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users?

    Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users? 

    You can burn a plain CD/DVD by just dragging the photos there; but, that may or may not be playable by everyone. To be sure that the result would be playable in any computer or CD/DVD player, it would be better to use either one of the apps already on your system - such as iPhoto. I don't use that myself - I use other third party software - but take a look at iPhoto help. And, you could make it more interesting by creating a slideshow - also in iPhoto, or iMovie. To give it the final cool touch, bring it into iDVD to give it a polished look if you'd like. You can burn it then from any of the above.
    If you happen to have Toast (an excellent burning app), you could use that as well (that is my preferred way to work). In Toast, you have multiple choices: burn a data CD/DVD for Mac only, for Mac & PC, etc, burn a picture CD, video DVD, etc, etc.

  • If I download a video from my video camera to a new (current 1/12) iMac 21 inch, how can I burn it to a DVD using the computer itself. Is this possible? Do I need to buy additional software. Two salespeople at the Apple were a little confused about this.

    If I download a video from my video camera to a new (current 1/12) iMac 21 inch, how can I burn it to a DVD using the computer itself. Is this possible? Do I need to buy additional software. Two salespeople at the Apple were a little confused about this. Thank you.

    The DVD recorder I'm referring to is one I've use for years. It is not attached to my aging iMac in any way. I simply play the video from my camcorder (mini-dv tape based Canon HV20)  into the DVD recorder and create a DVD that can be played in any DVD player. I can only do minimum editing so what goes in is what I get. This has been fine for creating dupes of the various things I shoot.
    If I buy a new iMac (21 inch), I'd like to be able to download the video to the iMac through iMovie, work with it to whatever degree I wish, and burn it to a DVD that can also be played in any DVD player -- or to use as a master to dupe copies.
    What I'm understanding from you and others is that this would be possible if Apple had included iDVD in the software that comes with the iMac, or if I purchase the iLife Family Pack, or buy the correct version of Toast. I'm hoping I can persuade Apple to sell me an iMac with iDVD installed.
    Essentially I want to move from a basic process of creating DVD copies to the more sophisticated process of creating one from an iMac.
    Thank you again for your help and wisdom.

  • How can I burn a movie to dvd when I don't have iDVD on the new macbook pro?

    I have recently purchased a macbook pro and I have made a movie in iMovie, however i don't have iDVD as it no longer comes on macs so how can I burn this movie to DVD without this program? Is there a program already on my laptop or do I need to purchase one and if so what can I purchase?

  • How can I burn a CD or DVD for regular data files?

    How can I burn a CD or DVD for regular data files using anything other than itunes?

    If you need simple burning, do as Robert said. However, if you need more advanced options, take a look at Roxio Toast 10 Titanium. There is also a Pro HD version if you need more video burning options.

  • IMovie does not "share" to iDVD. How can i burn an iMovie to DVD?  I do have a copy of iDVD on my Mac

    IMovie 11 does not "share" to iDVD. How can i burn an iMovie to DVD?  I do have a copy of iDVD on my Mac

    My advice, keep iDVD on your Apple Mac as it is a great software and let's hope Apple will introduce it again in imovie 10.  Since you may have imovie 10.0 (2013) up-dated from imvovie 9.0 (which included iDVD for burning your home made films on imvoie 9.0,)  you can proceed as follows to burn it on a DVD:
    a) your film is completed on imovie 10.0.  Under share transfer it to "Theatre" (default).
    b) open iDVD  and drag the film ex "Theatre" on the space "movie" of i.DVD. 
    c) Inser a DVD and clic on "burn"...
    It worked for me.

  • Can not burn disc

    When I try to share my imovie 6 with idvd it renders everything but when it reaches the multiplexing & burning point it quits. I also can not make a magic movie in idvd. I can however make a one step dvd but only after a computer re start. I have dumped programs and re installed to no avail.
    Is this a hardware or software problem? Thank you for any input.

    Hi
    Then You got PLENTY.
    When not knowing what to do.
    There are a set of things to test:
    1. Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk: It should have 25Gb or more. This is especially important when running iDVD.
    iDVD can’t address any other hard disk as scratch-disk so space is of uttermost importance.
    2. The Hard disk is untidy:
    Repair Permissions (Apple Disc Util tool) - Run this
    Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool) - To run this You need to start from a CD/DVD or external hard disk.
    3. Delete iDVD pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and have a re-try
    4. Let Your Mac turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help.
    5. Program miss-match:
    iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.3.9 AND QuickTime 6.5.2 - is OK
    iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4 - is OK
    iDVD 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4 - is OK
    6. UPDATES - is important: iLifeSupport8.1.1.dmg is important for running iLife08 bundle.
    7. iDVD (08) Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
    8. Mac OS X.5 (Leopard) - at least iDVD 1 to 4 - don’t work any more
    9. Trying to collect info on. Leopard system:
    iDVD08 - - - - - - - - - - not working - - - -> Should be soluble
    iDVD 6 - - - - - - - - - - not working - - - -> Should be soluble
    iDVD 5 - - - - - - - - - - not working - - - -> Don’t bother - will not work
    iDVD 4 or previous - - - - not working - - - -> Don’t bother - will not work

  • Can't burn disc via iTunes. Burn speed too fast. AGAIN!

    "iTunes can't burn this CD because the burn speed is too fast for your CD burner or media. Choose a lower speed in the burning pane of iTunes Preferences then try burning again".
    I have been having on going problems burning CD’s in iTunes for YEARS, and I know I am not the only one. I get the error message above. Having checked the forum at the time, and posted for help, I am know there is no real solution except to change brand of disc.
    Thing is, now I can’t get ANY brands to work. I’ve been through Verbatim, Maxell, JVC, Sony, but none work. The only brand that would work were TDK audios which I can no longer find anywhere.
    I know its not the burner, as Toast works fine, and I know I am not alone. Anyone got any ideas?
    Even after years Apple seem to be blanking this question. It’s very frustrating not being able to burn my purchased itunes downloads to disc.

    To anyone who is interested I think I may have found a possible solution. When you put a blank disc in the drive, wait about 30-60 seconds or so for it to stop spinning before burning.
    This seems to work. It's a bit sticky but eventually works. I tried both TDK & Maxwell discs and 9 out of 11 worked. Absolutely no reason why the other 2 didn't, but it's a lot better than none.

  • Burning discs through external DVD burner

    I've bought an external DVD burner as PE 10 did not recognise the inbuilt one in windows 8.1.
    It does not recognise the new burner either.
    How can I tell it where to burn the disc as the "burner location" box is not accessible.
    I've tried burning to folder instead and this is fine for playing discs on a computer but they will not play back on a TV through a DVD player in spite of choosing this option when burning discs.
    I hope I haven't wasted my money!

  • Can't Burn Disc Error Code -54

    What is going on? can anyone help? Every time i try to burn something in toast it tells me it can't burn the disc because i don't have the proper access permissions and displays error code -54 afterwards...

    -54 is a Permissions error that's right ...

    Remove the DivX QuickTime Plug-In and try burning again as it can mess up some burns ...
