How can I get a dual layer DVD+R to burn properly?

I can not get a dual layer DVD+R to burn properly. The disk pops out before it's finished, usually at the end of the multiplexing stage. iDVD seems to think the disk is still burning for about 20 more minutes although the box says "done". I tried it with an external DVD burner with the same result. I'm running the latest iDVD version available on a MacBook Pro running Lion. Any ideas out there?

Hi
Free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - How much ?
• for SD-Video and SL-DVD - I never go under 25Gb
• for DL-DVD I would guess that 50Gb free is safe
• if HD-material is used (needs space to be downscaled to SD-Vide0 as this is DVD standard) - 4-5 times more

How can I get HD quality on DVD

OK, how can I get HD quality on DVD like I can for youtube? I use mpeg2 or H.264 for my youtube videos and they look fantastic on there. I use the NTSC widescreen for my DVD's and they look like crap compared to my youtube videos. I even notice that my video ends are cut off a bit compared to my youtube videos. It's like it is burning the dvd's in standard instead of HD. I have a canon HF200 HD camcorder. Is there a way to get that same quality on DVD? keep it simple for me. I'm using PE7
Thanks

Do you mean that you wish to Burn BD material to a DVD disc, or something else?
DVD is, by definition, SD material, and was designed to be viewed on a CRT TV. It is not HD, and that is what BD is all about. You cannot alter the DVD-specs., as they are written in stone. However, one can do things with a blank DVD disc. What they do, depends on what one needs.
Please let us know exactly what you want to do, and we can give you tips.
Good luck,

IDVD 08, dual layer DVD doesn't burn last 2 minutes of audio

Hello,
iDVD 08, dual layer DVD doesn't burn last 2 minutes of audio, I get perfect audio/video through the whole DVD except the last 2 minutes or so...
I'm burning a 3 hour DVD on iDVD 08. I'm burning it only a DL+R Dual Layer disc. I've burned with "high quality" compression, "professional quality" compression. I've even burned the last 2 minutes of the timeline just to make sure it wasn't the quicktime file and the video and audio played fine.
The size of the project in the setting reads the project as 6.5 GB out of the 7.7 available on the disc.
So why does it always cut off the audio the last 2 minutes of the DVD? Any suggestions?

Try making a disc image to the desktop (from the file menu in iDvd) and see if it plays fine with apple's dvd player app.

How can I get a replacement internal DVD drive?

I bought a refurbished Toshiba P55t-A5202 a few months ago. The internal DVD drive seems to be failing and doesn't always recognize dual-layer DVDs. Some DVDs recognize and play fine. Others aren't even detected and the system thinks no disk is in the drive. I would like to replace the opical drive. I am comforable opening up the sytem and swapping the drive, I just don't know where to buy the replacement part.
Does anyone know who to contact about getting a replacement internal DVD drive?

Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Which exact iBook model is it?
You can choose from this list:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
Apple may not have the replacement discs at this point, but it's worth a try. You could try giving Apple a call and see if they have them available. If they do, they will send them to you for a fee.
You will need the serial number of the iBook when you call.

Can you copy onto dual layer dvds

Have just purchased a 17" 1.67 ghz powerbook and was wondering if the dvd burner can burn onto dual layer dvds
Many Thanks

No currently shipping PowerBook is advertised as having the capability to burn dual layer DVDs, and they can't be burned in a single layer drive. To check what types of disks your optical drive can burn to in Tiger, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and click on More Info. Once the System Profiler has opened, check the information for your burner; all the types of disks you can burn will be listed here.

How do I get "permission" to open DVD I just burned?

I want to back up photo files from iPhoto 9.6 onto DVDs running OS 10.10.2 on an Intel iMac. After lengthy burn time the system produces a disc which, it informs me, I do not have permission to read! How does this happen? How can I get permission to read my own disc? How can I avoid this problem in the future?

I tried several things to the point where I'm not sure what all I tried that failed, but the following is an accurate description of one failure:
I located the desired iPhoto library in the Pictures folder and dragged it to and burned it onto a new DVD-R. When it was finished, I double-clicked on the DVD Icon to open it, and then double-clicked on the iPhoto library icon that appeared, which launched IPhoto and produced the message: "The iPhoto library is on a locked volume. Reopen iPhoto when you have read/write access..."

Dual Layer DVD's not burning with Disk Utility

I successfully created two dual layer DVD's with a disk image that I created in iDVD. Checked both of those disks in a DVD player and both work fine. Now trying to burn more copies with the same procedure, same disk image file, same media manufacturer and all are failing. Any ideas? I can still successfully burn short videos on regular DVD's from iDVD so my burner has not completely failed. I had created a disk image out of the material that I need on the dual layer DVD because it's about 2 hours of video and iDVD was ejecting the disk too early without burning.

Sounds like the burner may have failed. It can fail in a way that only larger items cannot burn. Take it to your nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider to have them check it out

How can I get vertex colors on a mesh to work properly on a PDF 3D

Hi everyone,
I am working with GeoMagic Wrap 2013, a software for modelling meshes.
I digitalize objects through a 3d scanner.
The Scanner can digitalize objects, generating a mesh, either with .stl or .obj extensions.
.Obj is useful because you can retain the original color of the object you are acquiring when getting the mesh.
What Wrap 2013 let me do, among other functionalities, is to export the mesh in the .pdf format as a PDF 3D.
The issue is that what i see in Wrap 2013 is this:
but what i get when i export them in PDF 3D is this:
which is unconvenient because the point of this is to provide a potential client with a fully rotatable and zoomable preview of a product he/she is interested in.
How can i get the original colors to render properly on a PDF 3D?
Thank you

Thanks Dave,
I am not so technical about the subject but what you are saying (and what is written on the topic you liked above), is that is not possible to achieve the result i'd like with my model using PDF 3D?
What is quite annoying is that many mesh modelling softwares now provide PDF3D export service but practically forcing you to use uniformed colors that are really not suitable for certain use... you can't have a model with the original (or vertex more in general) colors...
That would be really a pity to say the least, especially considering that after some work time i can have really nice looking models within my sofware and no way to present it to the client except some really "flat" photos :/

How can I get another Installation Disc (DVD) for my CS5 Application

I lost one of my DVD installation discs from my CS5 set. I called Adobe and they said it was an older version and they don't have a link for me. Does anyone know how I can get ahold of the CS5 Application disc???

Welcome to the forum.
Adobe used to offer replacement discs for a minor charge.
However, that was usually for ONLY the current version - nothing available before. Once a version passed into history, the replacement discs were history too.
With the advent of Ps CC, I am not even sure if the Ps CS 6 replacement dics would be available now.
I would contact Adobe Customer Support (not Technical Support), and inquire.
Good luck,
Hunt

How can I get a dual display to work with Keynotes?

I'm using an iMac 24" output to a projector. I want to have Keynotes presentation on the iMac mon while I demo with various softwares, iPhoto, on the projection screen. Basically, I want to run the Keynote presentation and forward the slides on the iMac24" as a reference to the demos I'm doing on the large screen.
Keynotes does not seem to let me do that. It wants to take up both screens.
Help is appreciated.

You are right: When in the presentation mode, Keynote normally wants to use both screens, depending on your Keynote Preferences settings.
Although I haven't tried this, the following procedure might be a way to accomplish what you want. It's worth a try, and at least it can do no harm.
1) In Keynote /Preferences / Slideshow window, check the box "Allow Expose, Dashboard, and others to use screen. This lets other applications use the display on your computer while Keynote is in the Presentation mode.
2) In the same menu, check the button "Present on primary display." This will put the presentation onto your iMac screen.
3) In the Keynote / Preferences / Slideshow window, do NOT check the box "Use alternate display to view presenter information." This means that your slideshow will run, but you will not be able to see the "presenter information" to preview what's coming next. You'll need to run your slideshow by memory.
4) The other applications you want to show on the projector (which you assign as the "alternate" display in the System Preferences / Displays menu) you will need to drag them over to that display before you launch the Keynote Presentation - just as you would do if you were using two monitors.
Others have asked similar questions, so if this works, please let us all know. If you have to "fiddle" with it a bit, please let us know that too.
Good luck.

How can I get system recovery discs (mailed and/or burned from laptop)?

I have a family member who is in another state and has a Toshiba C855D-S5100. It is just under 1yr old and is having some issues booting up. She got it from Best Buy and took it to them yesterday. They are currently running a full diagnostic scan and will let us know what the problem is sometime today (virus, bad drive, bad memory, etc.).
In the meantime, it made me think that we may want to create some recovery discs (if we can). I did this with an older Gateway. It required 4 DVDs. Can this be done with this model? If so, how as it has Windows 8 and I am not real familiar with this operating system just yet.
If the test comes back and says the hard drive is the issue, the unit will be sent to Toshiba for repair (since there is 2 weeks left on warranty). In addition to trying to create some recovery discs, can we maybe somehow order the actual recovery discs from Toshiba directly (& keep for future purposes if the hard drive fails and gets replaced)? If so, how and where do we go to get these Toshiba recovery discs sent to us?

The full Specifications for that machine are HERE.
See the User's Guide starting on page 55 for instructions on "Creating Recovery Media" yourself.
You can order Recovery Media from HERE. (Scroll down).

How can I get "Read Out Loud" to read a calander properly for the blind?

I create a monthly newsletter for a place that has a traditional calendar along with it. One of the people this newsletter goes to is blind and uses a screen reader to read it out loud. I also discovered Adobe Reader can also do this. Unfortunately, both methods do not seem to understand how a calendar is read. Each day on the calendar has several events written into each. So when it reads, it goes from left to right with first reading the numbers of the day, then reading the first line of events all the way across, then second, third, etc... the will read the next row of day numbers along with the events, etc... Of course I want it to read the single day number with the events next, then the next day number and events, etc... I use InDesign to create everything if that helps at all. Is there any way to create this PDF so a reader will read it properly?

Hi,
Acrobat's ROL, while I find it very useful, is limited.
After all, it is not a "AT" caliber text reader.
It "reads" PDF page content left to right --- period.
It has no recognition of the logical hierarchy or structure of a PDF's content.
Consequently, what you've described is pretty much all you get.
For AT (JAWS, Windows Eyes, NVDA, etc.) to "work" a PDF properly the PDF must come from an authoring application that supports Tag management for the Tagged output PDF.
The authoring file content must be mastered in a manner that supports a Tagged output PDF that complies with ISO 32000-1:2008 (The ISO Standard for PDF).
(Available via: http://www.acrobatusers.com/blogs/leonardr/adobe-posts-free-iso-32000 )
This is particularly true for tables.
Typically, "calendars" available for MS Word, other word processors or page layout applications usage are "layout" tables and as such will not provide an accessible table in a Tagged PDF.
A calendar, built as a data table such that it had a header row with header cells, a table body with data rows of data cells, etc,. could be the source content for a correctly built <Table> in PDF.
Such a table can be processed by AT (via appropriate keyboard commands) to permit understanding of the "who-what-why-..." of the table.
With an appropriate table description, you'd have an AT "usable" calender.
The calendar could be mastered in MS Word.
Conversion to PDF via Adobe PDFMaker or Office 2007's Save-As to PDF (with accessibility option selected) result in well-formed Tagged PDF.
n.b., Regardless of which may be used - be sure you've processed all available updates (Adobe's or Microsoft's) - it makes a difference.
From viewing InDesign/Accessibility eSeminars provided by Adobe I believe you can master tables the will be well-formed <Table> & child elements with InDesign. Until InDesign / FrameMaker get a make over <TH> Scope will still have to be done manually with Acrobat Pro.
If you have complex tables that warrent use of ID and Header you will want to use Acrobat 9 as the task is easier with it.
Some reference sources that can be informative and useful:

Dual-Layer (DVD+R DL) burn hang with Sony DVD RW DW-Q28A

I have been trying unsuccessfully to burn an imovie project with idvd. Symptoms are some of those described in other topics:
- idvd goes through all stages and hangs in burn
- hang is always in the multiplexing phase
- EncoderServer and ThumbnailServer also hang
- all wait for a semaphore
I have seen the entries for upgrading the firmware on the Pioneer drive, but did not see anything similar for the Sony. I am using Fuji DVD+R DL disks.
Any help is much appreciated

This problem has really not been resolved; I have worked around this problem by purchasing Toast, as iDVD has failed miserable on each attempt.

How can I get calendar appointments sent in Outlook to open properly in Calendar?

When someone sends me an appointment from their PC (Outlook) and I open in Calendar, it brings up an old appointment and I am unable to see the one that was sent to me. Any ideas?

I want to thank you and Bill Hunt for your prompt replies. However I don’t think they are on point. My problem is not with a single photograph but entire project consisting of many photographs, transitions, music, etc. I actually imported two such projects into my video project in Premier Elements. One cam in perfectly. The other however, was bollixed up. It played fine in Elements, but when I reviewed it in Premier, the music shifted two frames forward, and one picture came in sideways. There may be more, but these problems alone frustrated me from checking further. The companion project imported without a hitch and plays as designed. All photos from both projects were taken on the same trip with the same two cameras.
Again, thanks for your time. If you have any ideas, I would greatly appreciate ;your input.
