Hi, ive made a project using idvd, and it wont burn properly

and when i go to burn it to a dvd, it plays properly with music and everything , it goes throught he motions of burning it, then chucks it out a minute before it finishes, and the disk is empty, there are no warning signs anywhere, so just wondered if someone could help a first time idvd user;-)) thanks

That use to be either
• Cheap DVDs e.g. Memorex, NoName etc. - I only use Verbatim DVD-R
• Dusty DVD laser lens - I use a Cleaning DVD from time to time
Else
• Trash iDVD pref file
• Run Repair Permissions
Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.
• Delete iDVD pref. file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref. file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named.
com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Disconnect all external hard disks and try - FireWire, USB/2, AirPort or Net-work connected.
To work OK I prefer FireWire AND it must be Mac OS Extended formatted -
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - WILL NOT DO for video -
neither for iMovie or FinalCut or iDVD any version !
This also includes any USB-memory sticks.
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple’s Disk Utilities application)
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK will work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’09 v. 7.0.4, Mac OS X.5.8 AND QuickTime 7.6.4 - is OK (does work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
or
Macintosh HD/Users/Your log-in//Library/Application Support/iDVD/Installed Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem ! ! Finally ! !
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
No of Colors - must be set to millions
EdinSF writes that, The 10.6.3 update with an Open GL fix seems to have taken care of the problem.

Lenght of movie using iDVD and Dual Layer Burner

I am using FCE to create a movie that is a little over 2 hours. I verbatim dual disks that show 240 minutes of space. I have a lacie D2 DVD drive. I believe that I should be able to burn a 2hr movie with this equipment (of course the planets must be aligned I a will probably have to sacrifice my next child to the gods). But in theory it should work. RIGHT???

Check out this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1421870
It may mean you either your Event or your Project. Have you moved any of the files in the Finder by any chance? That error may come up if you moved anything outside of iMovie. Do you get an error message when you choose Share>Export to iMovie (choose medium size) and save it to the Desktop? If you can export it to the desktop, you can pull that file into iDVD separately and still make it work.

I mean how do I know whether my disk drive can write/burn DVD ?
Mine is a 24" iMac bought some 5 months ago.
Thanks

Assuming your mac has at least 25 GB's of available hard drive space on the boot volume and an S-Drive as opposed to a combo drive; the latter only reads dvd's while the former both reads and writes to dvd, then you should be able to, yes.
But follow the iMovie> iDvd Tutorial/s first.

Hope this helps but if not just come on back. Good luck.

I purchased this to make DVD's and now I can not do that!!

This is a known issue. It really comes down to two key factors - what type of DVD are you burning to + what type of DVD player you have.
This article will help. It's lengthy and can be technical in some parts but should shed some light on your problem.

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. Happened to me once, about 6 months ago, and a reset got it working again.

How can I burn a DVD of an iMovie 13 project using iDVD 7.1.2 version.

I have a late model iMac which came with iDVD. I use iMovie to make photo and movie projects and share them to iDVD to burn DVDs. I use these often and I love them, specially iDVD.
When Mavericks came out I updated and of course it changed iMovie. I just finished a photo project with music on iMovie and planned to transfer it to iDVD for burning DVD. This is a family project and I want to distribute copies to the rest of the family.
It turns out that I cannot use iDVD with the new iMovie version and/or Mavericks.
iDVD does not contain the buttons that it used to have on each theme in order to play the DVD.
I cannot drag the movie into iDVD.
What can I do so that I can use iDVD when I have an iMovie project to burn it on a DVD.
I can go back to the previous version of iMovie and still have Mavericks.
I do not know, I am lost. Why doesnt this work without any problems when updating the operting system. Apple should take into consideration all the previous applications etc when it makes an older computer able to update to more current system.
I appreciate any help offered.
Thank you

Export the slideshow out of iMovie via the File ➙ Share ➙ File menu option as a 480p Quicktime movie.
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 quality 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.

Burning an iMovie 10 project using iDVD

I created a slideshow movie with a theme (no audio) by iMovie 10. I want to burn a looping DVD of this movie without an added DVD theme, using iDVD. How would I bypass the iDVD themes?

(From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
Several of our resident experts also recommend this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results. That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option. Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.

Cannot burn DVD (using iDVD, and iMac G5 with Superdrive)

Hi. I'm trying to burn an iMovie onto a DVD-R (16x). I have an iMac G5 w/ Superdrive (PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K04F). I have plenty of available disc space. iDVD goes through the entire burn process, then at the very end it spits out the disc with these errors:
The recording device reported the error #8: No additional sense information. (0x00, 0x00.)
The recording device reported the media error: Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.)
Can someone PLEASE help me? What am I doing wrong?
THANK YOU!

Could be the brand of media you are using. Most users here find the most reliable to be Verbatim DVD-R.
Also, try burning at a lower speed.
Using 16x DVD media is fine - in fact it is difficult to buy any other - but there is a consensus in the Apple Support Forums that a slower burn is a better burn and that the most reliable brands are Verbatim, Maxell and Fuji, all DVD-R, burned at 2x or 4x (slow burns are better burns!). I always use Toast for burning.
I generally use Verbatim and when I can't get those, Fuji, and have never had a coaster from either.
Plenty of coasters in the early days from Sony, TDK and a few others.
The term "Best" means the fastest speed that the drive told Toast it can write to a specific disc. The drive's firmware and info on the disc decide what speed burns are available. When you press the speed setting button in Toast (after inserting a disc) you'll likely see some speeds in italics and some in bold face. The ones in bold face are supported by that media on that drive. The fastest one is what Toast calls Best.
Audio CDs in particular should be burned at the lowest supported speed.
Verification is a good indicator the disc is burned okay. However, other DVD players can still have problems with the disc. Media problems with various drives is not uncommon. Slower burning may reduce the chance of those problems, and is one of the reasons why RW (read/write) media is always rated slower than DVD-R.
There are some interesting facts here:
http://www.osta.org/technology/dvdqa/dvdqa4.htm and here:
http://www.osta.org/technology/dvdqa/dvdqa4.htm
But many will tell you that the 'slower burn is best' theory is outdated. Who really knows? At the end of the day, if your home-made DVD was verified by Toast and will play anywhere on anybody's DVD player, then that is the result we are all after!

IDVD project info doesnt show content and wont burn properly

I am using iDVD 6 on a macbook. have successfully burned DVD's using iDVD in the past and now here is the deal I cant resolve. My imovie is first in DVD map and it is looped. It plays fine when played from this and other locations. I go to project info and it is .8GB for a 26 minute video on the DVD capacity.(which doesnt seem right.) When I burn it, it goes thru the paces and kicks out the DVD and it says current operation-done. In previous projects it has asked me if I would like to burn another copy. I press cancel and it says "cleaning up" and I end up force quitting iDVD. What am I doing wrong this time. i aprreciate any help, im racking my brain for hours. Thanks.

Shared iMovie 9.0 Project using iDVD option did not work

I created an iMovie project and want to create a DVD. I shared the iMovie project using the Share>iDVD option. The file took about 1-1/2 hours to create. Once it was completed iDVD opened but no movie appeared. I only saw the standard 4 option splash plate you get when iDVD opens. The created file exists, I found it. I tried opening the file using "Open Existing Project" but the file won't open. I thought the file was too big, but reading other posts that is not the problem.
Why won't the shared file appear in iDVD??

try the free perian.org plugin.

keep in mind: iMovie is meant for Camcorders.

How to use idvd and iMovie 11 to make a dvd

I have used earlier versions of iMovie to make dvdd but cannot here. May of the people speak of share options that do no exist she i go to share.
Where do I find the media browser for example?
Thanks

Also answered in your duplicate thread:
To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

Urgently!! Deploy project using Struts and Toplink

Hello. I want to make a deploy of a project in wich I'm using Struts and Toplink technologies.
I'm using JDeveloper 10g for Windows and my production server is a SUN V880 with Soloaris 8 and I make it ok, but when I run it since a PC in the intranet the following errors appears (obviously those don't appear before):

Thank you so much for help.

NOO!! :( I don't install any libraries in the server, but in the WAR file of the application, in the lib folder, there was the jars corresponding. I thought that those libraries, in the WAR file, was "local" to the project, anyway, the Struts and Toplink libraries must be global at server level, 'cause I will use it sure once agian, and now I'm trying to install those in the server...
Thank you so much!!
