Help finishing DVD burn

I am burning a dvd on i-dvd. Been stuck on writing lead out for 30 min. time estimated was one minute.

What speed are you burning at? The higher the speed the less "integrity" of the burn, therefore you'll run into more problems. Try a slower burn setting, and if that doesn't work try a different brand of DVD.

Beginner would appreciate help on DVD burning

Hi all, I am very new to DVD Studio Pro and have managed to create my first menu with the help of the video tutorial. However, I am now up to burning my project and when i do so, the disc I burn only plays on a computer and not on any of my DVD players. Is anyone able to help me so I can work out how to burn a disc that is compatible to DVD players as well as computers? Thanks, i really appreciate your help. Caitie-rose

Wellcome to the forum!
First check if you authored a HD DVD. These discs will only play in your Mac player and NOT in regular DVD players.
Besides that, you can read this: * DVD Authoring/burning tips thread *.
But remember, you must create a SD DVD (standard definition) not HD DVD.
Hope that helps !

Sorry, but I don't know anything about that app.
I did go to their Web site and I see they have a support link. Perhaps you can get help there or in their forum.
If you are OK with a DVD with a basic menu, you could try the Share>DVD option in FCP.
Good luck.

Disk Utility won't burn with external dvd burner!!! HELP?!?!?!

Hello anyone/everyone!
I need some help, I'm trying to burn a file using the disk utility. Only thing is that the disk utility wants to used the drive installed on my iBook (combo drive) and not my external DVD drive! I couldn't find a way to be able to chnage the default burner, and I was hoping that someone/anyone could help me out? The file is too large for a regular 800mb disk so I have to use the external dvd burner. Help me please oh wise-ones?!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Find out if the external burner is Patchburn compatible. If it is, then apply it from http://www.patchburn.de/
If not, I'd sell the external burner and get one that is compatible like those from http://www.macsales.com/
You may find other tricks on http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ as well.

Does anyone know how to fix my problem??
Please help me. I'm a Productions manager for an extreme sports Tv show up here in Lake tahoe and i need my Dvd burner to work so i can use it in my daily work. thanks alot

if you want to use the same font but different size/color etc, just create a different textformat instance or you could re-use the one you already defined:
var font3:Font=new Font3();
var dtFormat:TexFormat=new TextFormat();
var dtText2:TextField=new TextField();
dtFormat.font=font3.fontName;
dtFormat.size=15;
dtText2.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
dtText2.defaultTextFormat=dtFormat;
dtText2.embedFonts=true;
var dtfFormat3:TextFormat=new TextFormat();
var dtText3:TextField=new TextField();
dtFormat3.font=font3.fontName;
dtFormat3.size=22;
dtFormat3.color=0xaa0000;
dtText3.autoSize=whatever
dtfText3.defaultTextFormat=dtFormat3;
dtText3.embedFonts=true;
it only gets tricky when you want bold or italic or bold and italic fonts embedded. those are different fonts and those need to be embedded seperately.

New samsung external dvd burner taking forever to rip a dvd on macbook pro. Please help.

Hello...the superdrive in my macbook pro died recently so I purchased an inexpensive Samsung SE-208DB/TSBS external dvd burner (with USB). It has been burning so far now about 14 hours and still on 55%encoding. I have 45 GB available on system and no other programs running at the same time. Not sure if it's something with the burner itself or with my mac. help please and thank you.

No, just a single USB, which, after reading some online comments elsewhere makes me wonder if it was a power-type problem with my mac. I think I'll have to return the drive..
thank you for the help...

DVD Burn Folders....... Please Help

Recently, I tried burning a dvd with some coursework on for a deadline on my MacBook (10.4.11). Everything went fine until a clicked burn in the burn folder of the disk. there was an error each time i tried burning the DVD, even when i tried creating a new burn folder and deleting the old one. i have since managed to burn it to a disc but i have the annoyance of everytime i open up Finder, i find two burn folders down the sidebar, and when i click on them, they say they "cannot be found"
please help....

Hi
You can drag the burn folders out of the sidebar to remove them.
Do you remember what the DVD burning error was?

X300 - Need help finding the correct internal DVD Burner

I want to buy and install an internal DVD burner, which I am unable to identify on the Lenovo website. The only internal Ultrathin DVD burners I find fit the x200 series, but nothing for the x300 series. Frustrating.
Mine is a Thinkpad x300, Type 6477, and S/N L3-xxxxx.
Anyone able to help me identify the correct part number?
Thanks!
Moderator Note; s/n edited for members own protection

. . . thanks for the part IDs, lead_org. . . . took your advice and searched ebay for both, but nothing surfaced. . . . so, I entered the parts numbers into Lenovo's Websales site and was unable to find any such part listings for sale anywhere . . . nothing. . . . then, I emailed Lenovo Websales about it . . . they promptly replied that the parts were not in stock, and that I could try purchasing from www.cdw.com . . . I can understand if Lenovo did not have them in stock, but that they would not even LIST the parts was weird. . . . this is a 1-1/2 year old machine . . . are the lifecycles for laptops these days so short that they are unsupported even this fast? . . . I did see a few other sites selling the replacement DVD as new (presumably) for US$300, but none were in stock. . . . if I have no other alternatives, is a DVD the sort of part that is durable enough to reliably purchase used? Thanks!

Help, i cant burn dvds. I can watch a dvd or burn a cd but not a dvd

I have an intel 17 inch imac and a matshita dvd-r uj-85j. when I go to burn a dvd I get a “Untitled DVD” can’t be burned because the disc is read-only and can’t be modified (error code 0x80020042). But that is BS. Can you please help me?

Sorry if this is obvious, but reasons why the DVD might not burn include:
1. The DVD burning speed is at the maximum speed of the drive.
2. The DVD is of low quality. Never burn discs from anything other than Ritek, Taiyo, or Verbatim. Don't apply sticky labels to the DVD, and don't use markers. Buy DVDs that are stored in jewelcases, not spindles. Follow the standards set here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2446
These issues are all platform independent.
3. The DVD was already burnt before (multi-session DVDs as far as I know are only possible for data DVDs, not movie DVDs, though double sided DVDs allow a burn on each side).
4. The capacity of the burn file is at the maximum of the capacity of the disk (try a smaller capacity).
5. The burning software is old. Make sure the version you are using is tested with your operating system version.

My finished DVD is always of a poor quality, help please?

(Encore cs5.1)
My finished dvd normally is always:
Very quiet / Poor sound quality
Large black bars at the top and bottom of the screen
Menu doesn't quite fit on the screen (even though it did within encore)
Reduced video quality (pixelated)
Can anyone please help me out the best export settings
to combat these problems?

Well the video it's self is generally fine until i put it into encore and it gets transcoded and what not and i was wondering what's teh best transcode / export setting for encore basicly but i've answered your questions anyway
What version of Premiere Pro? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the 5.5.2 update).
Cs6
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
Yes
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
Windows Ultimate 64-bit (Service Pack 1?)
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".
usually .avi however i always experiment for the best result, i'm not sure what codec
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
No error messages
What were you doing when the problem occurred?
well there isn't one
Has this ever worked before?
never hasn't just poor quality after exproting and transcoding
What other software are you running?
well most other Cs6 programs
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
Nope
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).
intel i5 2500k
8gb Ram
1 terrabyte hdd
2 terrabyte external hdd
nvidia gtx 570
guess that's all the important stuff
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?
don't think so but don't know how to check
Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both?
Generally final output, howver sometimes the previews are off to
I hope that's what you where asking for

Backup iTunes library problem using LaCie DVD Burner error message - help!

Hi!
I just purchased a LaCie D2 DVD +-RW DVD Burner for my Mac Mini running OS 10.4.8 and iTunes 7.0.2. I've installed the latest LaCie drivers and iTunes recognizes the burner so no problem there. When I try to back up my purchased playlist iTunes checks the media everythings fine but when it tries to start the burn process I get this error message: "The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (-8785)." It then ejects the DVD-R. The Burner works fine with Toast, so the issue is with iTunes. I've tried using both Apple DVD-R's and Sony brand just in case that was it. Any ideas? Please?
Thank you,
Sam

i recently got an error message while burning a dvd with lacie. i had been using the same cd's etc. found the solution on roxio boards (which don't allow just anybody to join obviously).
the problem is iSight. it can cause problems with the lacie while hooked up to the other firewire connection. unplugged the camera and viola!!! lacie works again.
hope this helps you too!!!

HELP... From "Its the same all over again"...PE won't recognize my DVD Burner

Hi Guys,
I am sitting with my computer repair guy. We have beaten my Dell Precision 340 desktop to death in an attempt to try to understand why its not recognizing its DVD burner. It started with the old Sony burner I had prior, but since it was old and very slow I took this opportunity to upgrade to a new higher speed Samsung DVD burner.
So we removed the old, put in the new did anti virus tests, tried the Microsoft patch found here, and so far nothing. Its as simple as in PE the little cautionary yellow triangle comes up and says "DVD burner not detected" and the "rescan" button is greyed out and not an option I have.
Its as complex as in when we try to burn ANYTHING through the desktop drag and drop its then shows as a CD drive once the blank disc is inserted, and not a burner, of any type!!
It will however burn a disc through NERO, but I have to save the project and then burn it from it stored location on the hard drive.
This of course eliminates many of the assets of the program that I desire.
I need any and all help you can give. Computer guy and I are at a total loss.
Thanks in advance,
~Emily

Thanks for the quick replies!!!
Sadly we have read all you mentioned and for the last week NERO hasn't been installed and all components were removed and double and triple checked that they were'nt within a country mile of the computer.
We just know from testing that Nero will allow it to burn.
We did try everything you have already linked.
We did try the registry fix listed her: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/171067-32-drive-drive-detected
Nothing.
This is going above our collective heads and we're starting to dream up ways to a.) fix it and b.) destroy it all in a magnificent display of pyrotechnics!!!
HELP!!

External DL DVD Burning Help

Today I tried to burn my first dual layer DVD using my external DVD burner drive and Toast...It worked for about five minutes and then I got a weird error saying that there was an error in the "medium." I tried going to Roxio's site for answers, but it didn't help. Could it just be that my drive is outdated, or could the dual dvds that I bought aren't compatible with my drive? My drive is a 16x12 dual and the blanks I bought are dvd+r dl Verbatim.
Any help is greatly appreciated...Thanks!

How are you connected to it? FireWire or USB? Regardless, make sure you connect the device directly to your MBP and not via a hub. Also, remove any devices that aren't needed. Basically it's trying to make it work with the simplest setup possible.
I would firstly try again doing a restart and run no other applications other than your DVD writing application.
Obviously with DL media the speed at which you can create coasters such that it become more costly than to simply replace the drive is quite real.
By the way, what make/model drive is it?

DVD Burner HELP ME!!

I have been trying to burn a DVD for 6 months using IDVD. I have read some of the other discussions on this and some have helped. I just was wondering When I was looking for a computer one of the people I was talking to said something about in order to burn a DVD you have to turn the DVD upside down because when you put it in the right way it is the CD burner and on the top of the CD entrance is the DVD burner. I was wondering if that is true. Thanks for you time.

Hmmm, at 6 months I think you have the record for the longest burn time ever...
Seriously though, welcome to the forums. I hope you will receive better advice here than you got from "one of the people" you encountered in your computer search. Both CDs and DVDs go in the same way - label side "up."
John
