Help. trying to burn a dvd from fcpx. says bitrate too high
I'm using fcpx for a montage with effects like generators etc...not sure if this is why it says bitrate too high. I want to burn a dvd and it stops at 66% saying bitrate too high. I've seen an answer from 2011....wondering if anyone has anything new? My computer is Mac book pro 15 inch, latest software. I went to compressor but the final product doesn't allow me to put in a title and i'm worried about final quality. Thanks for any help
I would say usually it's about the same. If the settings are adjusted properly, it can sometimes improve the results; conversely, there's always the potential to get terrible results if the settings are wrong. (FCP X Share kind of takes that risk out of the process.)
Where the software can often add value is when you have long videos that you're trying to fit on a disk. Or trying to compress certain HD material with complex scenes. Or sometimes, you'll run into players that choke on a DVD and the adjustments in Compressor give you a chance to adjust the bit rate to a level that widens the disk's playability. And there are audio and video effects that can be added in Compressor without re-editing in FCP.
BTW, I don't believe you've yet told us how long your project is.

DVD Studio log says "Bitrate too high"
DVD Studio log says "Bitrate too high" and cancels burn process. Do the videos need to be re-exported, or can DVDSP be told to accept a higher bitrate? This is the first time I've used an external burner, so I'm thinking it's probably this, but then why does it only say Bitrate Too High in DVDSP, and not something more specific to the burner?
Any thoughts?It sounds like you are encoding the video through DVD Studio pro, when doing this its possible to go over the DVD Spec bit rate (9Mbps). Go to your DVD Studio Pro preferences and in the encoding tab lower the bit rate.
Depending on the length of your project you may need to lower both the average and max bitrate.
For something under 90 min the attached image has settings you can use.
For better quality you may want to change the Mode from one pass to 2 pass VBR but remember this will take longer. Ideally doing all this in compressor will usually yeld better results because it has the ability to use frame controls and so on.
Hope this helps. -
I was trying to burn a DVD from files in a burn folder. They were pictures from my Nikon camera. I can play videos and movies from the same dvd player. Thanks for any help you can offer,
Thanks for your reply:
I did find an error log related to the error code and tried all suggestions on the list of recommendations, still no luck
I definitely am running OS X10.5.8 (hopefully will be updating later on this month)
I tried several brand new discs from the same box, still no luck.
My last option is to go out and try a different brand, guess I'll go with Verbatim this time but I think I'll poke around some more before buying 20 more new discs. -
I'm trying to burn a dvd from idvd but I keep getting error message, broken assets, but when I check my drop zones and their content there's no error messages on any of them?
Hi
And if You change view - in main "window/view field" so that You see the box-plot structure.
No exclamation marks there either ?
and non at the front page ?
iDVD do not copy Your material - only points to where it is stored. So if on any external hard disks, USB-memories, CDs or DVDs are missing - assetts are broken.
Or if You changed location of any material or directed iPhoto or iTunes or GarageBand to a new Library - Then iMovie/iDVD also get's lost.

i tried the idvd forum but havent got any responses- since this forum has always been such a help i figured i'd try it- does anyone know how to free up disk space for encoding assets on idvd- apparently its a 'multiplexer' problem- or can someone fill me in on how to use the disk utility to burn a dvd after i have already exported my project from final cut express as a quicktime movie - i have also tried to print to video and it prints sound but the picture doesnt come up in the playback- says the data is incompatable- help!- i cant sleep till i figure this out-
thanks
joshHi suprjosh
A multiplexer error is usually occurs when burning to a poor quality DVD disk. It can also happen if you are trying to burn the DVD at a too high of a speed. Verbatim is very good. Try burning a disk image from iDVD first. From there use disk utility to burn a DVD. Disk utility will allow you to select a burn speed. Try 4X at most. If you are burning directly from iDVD buy a disk rated to 4X not 8X, 16X etc. It's just too fast and you'll get multiplexer errors.
Good luck

What does this message mean when I'm trying to burn a DVD from the Finder in Mavericks?
The disc can’t be burned because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0x8002006E).
Trying to burn a 1 gb video m4v file that my friend sent me via dropbox.
The video plays fine on my laptop.
All seems to be going well with the burn from my finder until I click burn. Then I get that message.
The disc can’t be burned because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0x8002006E).
HELP!
SteveThis seems to suggest that it could be filenames… (see the final posts).
https://discussions.apple.com/message/7818914?messageID=7818914#7818914?messageI D=7818914
Replace dashes, underscores, hyphens & any other funky looking characters. Very long filenames of folder paths may cause trouble too. -
Is it possible to burn a DVD from FCPX in 16:9 aspect ratio?
I am using FCP X 10.1.1 on an iMac with OS 10.9.3
I have HD video shot in 1080X720. I realize a dvd isn't HD, but I would like to try and get the wide screen aspect. Is that even possible? I would love any sort of assistance! Thanks much!
-RYes.
Just go ahead and burn the DVD which will finish up with whatever aspect the project is.
A 16:9 aspect ratio has nothing to do with hi-def, it's just that hi-def in the last 10 years has adopted that ratio but it was used long before then, together with 4:3, for standard def DV. -
What do I do wrong, cant burn a DVD from FCPX 10.1.1
It comes with this window
OK.
Then we'll need some more basic information: System specs; Original media format; project settings.
Are you using physical media or making a disk image?
Have you ever before exported and burned a DVD with your current setup?
Can you export this project with any other share options – for example, a master file? If you cannot, are you able to export another existing or a test project?

When I try to burn a DVD from FCPX it burns everything but the video.
So far I am having this problem on only one project. I am very new to FCPX, so I'm thinking it's user error. When I share to DVD it burns everything but the actual video. I get audio and text effects but a black screen otherwise. The only thing I know that I've done differently from previous projects was using stabilization. I have since burned other projects to DVD with no problem, but this project will not export correctly.
-
My workflow is as follows:
1. Shoot in HXR-NX5u Sony AVCHD 1920x1080 | 29.97 fps
2. Import as is to FCPX letting FCPX create the project properties according to the first clip
3. Edit and create project.
4. Export as ProRes 422
5. Burn with iDVD to a PAL DVD 16:9
My result is an acceptable DVD. My only issue is with pans and fast zooms there remains a "choppiness" in the videos when played on DVD player and computer alike. This choppiness is not present on the exported ProRes 422 file, nor is it present on a Vimeo export that I did. Only on the DVD wherever it is played.
Any suggestion?
Thanks.
When I say choppy, I mean that when the frame pans it seems as if it is skipping frames and jumping to the next. It is not skipping frames though because this is not apparent on steadily framed shots. It is a shame because my montages come out so beautifully and when I burn them I get this choppiness which gives me a sub par result.The following are the settings I am attempting at the moment..I'll let you know the outcome...

I have created an album of phots, moved into order I want to burn, cd and dvd. It burned out of order in album and also added pictures not in Album highlighted to burn. Also was hard to view all pictures and move more quickly into order to view. I am use to using powerpoint and shows all slides at 1 time small thumnails so easy to move
Re the order on the DIsk:
When you export from iphoto you are in the Finder and that doesn't have the same sorting options as iPhoto. There is no "manual" sorting in the Finder, for instance.
Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.
Burn that to the disk.
I'm sorry but I haven't a clue what the rest of your query is about.
Regards

Burning a DVD from FCP 4 anamorphic
I'm trying to burn a DVD from my FCP 4. but even though everything is set as anamorphic, the DVD comes out all squished. I was able to burn a DVD several months ago of the same footage, for some reason i'm not able to do this. I'm really frustrated and need to be able to do this. Any suggestions? Thanks
Which program are you burning the DVD with? DVDSP? or iDVD?
I'm not on my computer where I have the link bookmarked, but there is a droplet you need to burn anamorphic material in iDVD. Unless you've done it in iMovie. Odd bug, and one they're working on if they've listened to me... which they did, I'm sure.
If it's DVDSP then you need to select the track in dvdsp and then tell it to force letterbox.
Should work fine for you. I'll hunt around and see if I cannot find that other link for you... but it's there in the iDVD forum.
Good luck,

I am trying to burn a dvd. I created it on Imovie shared it to Idvd and am trying to burn it on a memorex dvd-r from my mac os x laptop. Each time it attempts to bunr and then ejects it early. Usually near the end. Please help.
You will get better results if you use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option and then drag the movie from the Movies pane of the Media Browser in iDVD onto the menu window.
Also I suggest you use this workflow which I learned from Bengt:
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 and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was 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.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
First I recommend taking a look at this article named iTunes: Music purchased from iTunes Store cannot be burned to MP3 format CD found http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1476.
Songs purchased from the iTunes Store may either be in AAC format or AAC Protected format depending on when they were purchased (older songs used AAC Protected format). You can convert AAC songs to MP3 format allowing them to be burned to an MP3 format CD, however AAC Protected songs can not be converted. You can, however, back them up to a data CD or DVD, or you can burn them to an audio CD (which can be played in a CD player).
And if your issue still persists after converting any of these purchases, then I would recommend this part of the article named Disc Burning Quick Assist found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1152#learn2:
Top troubleshooting tips
In addition to the following tips, check out these articles:
Solving problems with burning discs
If the disc burning options are dimmed or unavailable
If a burn does not succeed, check the disc or try another disc
Eject the disc from the drive and inspect it to see if the surface is dirty or scratched, or if it already has data written on it (the shiny surface is slightly darker where data has already been burned). If it's dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth and try burning again. If the disc already contains data, try another disc. If you're using a rewritable disc that already contains data, be sure to erase it before burning data on it again. Small flaws or surface inconsistencies can cause an unsuccessful burn. Try burning your content to another disc or try a different brand of disc (if possible).
Make sure that your optical drive can record discs
If your drive is built into your Mac, make sure that you have at least a Combo Drive if you want to burn a CD or a SuperDrive if you're trying to burn a DVD (or CD). Consult your Mac manual or your third-party manufacturer's disc drive manual for more information.
Check the disc type
Make sure that your disc drive is capable of writing to your media at hand. For example, you won't be able to burn a DVD+RW disc with an older Apple SuperDrive. Consult your Apple or third-party product manual for your drive's supported media specifications. You should also use discs that are rated for the burn speed of your drive.
Slow things down
In the Burn dialog, specify a burn speed that is slower than the maximum speed rating for your disc drive (if you can) and try burning another disc.
Free up some memory
If you've got other applications open, quit the ones that you're not using (or quit them all except for the one from which you're burning your disc). Allow the disc to burn before doing other things on your computer.
Check your hard drive's available space
When you burn a disc, your Mac temporarily sets aside an amount of hard disk space equal to the amount of data being burned to the disc. If you're burning a large amount of data, you may run out of room on your hard disk if it's almost full, which may prevent a disc from burning. To free up space, throw out unwanted files or back up files to an external drive.
Restart your computer
Sometimes a simple restart can resolve issues. Once you've restarted your Mac, try burning another disc again.
Update your software
Use Software Update (from the Apple menu, choose Software Update) to check for, download, and install the latest versions of your Apple software. If you're using a third-party burner, visit the manufacturer's website for the latest software updates for your model.
Check your connections
If you're using an external disc writer, make sure that all of your cable connections are secure and that the optical drive is powered on.
Cheers,

hello, I'm trying to burn a playlist from itunes to a cd, but I keep getting a message saying "the attempt to burn a CD failed because of a medium write error" can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'm not so tech savvy so any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks
I'm not familiar with this error, but check the following:
-Is your disc a CD or a DVD? You want a CD, not a DVD.
-Is the CD blank? You'll want a blank one.
-Maybe the disc is scratched and cannot be used. Try another CD.
-Maybe your disc burner is broken. If you have another, try it.
