How to Burn 2nd Disc Quickly?

In Encore CS4 I transcoded my HD video and burned a Blu-ray disc all in one step by selecting "Build". It took 27 hours. To burn a 2nd disc I selected "Build" again and it took 3 hours. That's good. I tried it again with another project, but burned the 2nd disc the next day. When I selected "Build" it restarted the 27 hour transcoding process. Is there a different button to select just to burn a disc from a previously transcoded file?

The two ways to cut down on the Build time is to choose a quantity of 2 (or more) initially, and just swap out the additional blank media, or, Burn to Folder, and then use the great, free burning utility, ImgBurn to burn from that. The latter is usually my workflow, and I also test the folder in a DVD/BD software player, prior to committing to a disc.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - if you do the ImgBurn download, scroll down the page, to get past a ton of ads, and to the actual download link (about 2/3 of the way down). That is the price of "free."

How to burn DVD disc of iMovie playable on Blueray

For years I have been easily creating movies with my vacation photos, adding effects, music, transitions and titles, etc. on my PC using Windows software and then burning the movie to a blank DVD+R disc which has always been playable on every DVD and Blue Ray player that I have tried (mine is a Panasonic model BD35). I have recently made a transition to a Mac (the one with 27" screen and Yosemite system) and have learned how to use iMovie and, after much trial and error, have used free software, called "burn" to make a DVD that only plays on an older LG DVD player (model LDA 830) - however, the disc is "unsupportable " on my Blue Ray player (I also used a trial version of "Aimer", with the same result). After spending several hours with an Apple support expert in their iMovie Department, I tried a slightly different method (that he had discovered from a customer with the same issue) using only the Apple DVD/CD external burner and whatever system it has for burning discs. For me, this effort resulted in a disc that is "unsupported" on my BlueRay player and "error" on my DVD player. The Apple expert suggested getting Apple TV - yeah, buy more Apple stuff and that solves everything! This issue has been a popular one with Apple computers and so I am amazed that it has not found an elegant solution by now. This should not require an Einstein to achieve the result desired by many customers (as opposed to whatever result Apple is aiming at), but maybe there is one out there who can also communicate the solution in easy to understand steps? Help, please?!?

I am beginning to think that I should have stuck to user-friendly Windows.
As Barney-15E noted, you can still purchase and use the boxed versions of iLife with Yosemite. Pretty cheap at only $30 - $35. It has iMovie to create your video sequence, and iDVD to author the disks from what you build in iMovie.
Ruthless people with cold blood coursing through their veins run Apple - probably descendants of the fictional Mr. Potter from "It's a Wonderful Life"! Ahhhh.. There, that feels better.
I like it!
Unfortunately, the reality is DVD and Blu-ray is heading the way of floppy disks. Here's an interesting headline I ran across today. No Surprise: DVD Sales Plunged Over 40 Percent Last Year. Thing is, that statement was from 2011, marking a 40% drop from 2010 with sales of 47 billion. Sound like a lot? Not compared to how far the medium has fallen in just three more years. Only 12.2 billion in 2014.
Apple completely dropped DVD Studio Pro, and Apple isn't the only one to blame. Adobe also dropped all further development of Encore, it's DVD and Blu-ray authoring app. CS6 was the last version of that we'll ever see. You can still get it if you have the CC subscription. You choose to install an older version of Premiere Pro. It then installs Premiere Pro CS6 and Encore CS6. You then uninstall Premiere Pro CS6 since you don't need it; you already have Premiere Pro CC.
The mistake the industry is making is that not everyone in the world has access to high speed Internet. Sure, I can "purchase" my movies from Amazon and other online sources, but I can only watch my purchased movies or shows if a) I have Internet access, and b) it's fast enough where I am at the time to stream it. There is no such problem with disks. Take them with you and watch them anywhere. The only fault they have is either losing the disk, or damaging it.

Since you are using a 2012 iMac which has no optical drive, your problem is w/an external disc burner? Is the burner a tray or slot loader?
Type of file you are trying to burn?
Type of disc?
Make sure the DVD/CDs are not dirty, smudged and/or scratched.
Your drive may need cleaning. Cleaning kits can be purchased from any store that sells CD/DVDs.

The disk you are using probably has a defect, not uncommon on consumer grade disks. Try another disk or better yet another disk from a different manufacturer or at least a different batch.

I had been getting this all morning and checked other messages from the community. THe one which worked was trying a different brand of disc.
I had been using Verbatim which had copied the music fine off the Real Player on my PC at school, but wouldn't work with I Tunes. Tried a Staples and an Office Depot CD-R , both of which did the job.

My start up disc is almost full. How can I get my data stored on my 2nd disc

I have an i Mac working with OS X 10.9.5 Processor: 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7. I have a solid state hard disc of 250 GB which is the start up disc. There is a conventional second hard disc of 2 TB. The way it is set up the 2nd disc is not being used. My start up disc is almost full. How to I change it so that my data is stored on my 2nd disc.

I am having the same problem Have devoted well over 10 hours to the destroyed WD Passport, memory and constant crashes of untold origin, and of course wasting time with the good ol' spinning wheel of death. Any fixes for memory, back up drives and crashes would be welcome. I am tired of these upgrades making my life worse. Once upon a time Apple cared and was not so awful in customer relations and quality of upgrades to the OS. Now, not so much. I am searching through the now more difficult to search through Discussions to find fixes for these problems but have not opened any that are satisfactory. Please will someone in the know, not so much an Apple shill cause they just blame the user, but actual Apple users and customers who have had these issues and can now share the knowledge. Please!

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

How to not verify discs after burning

I love OS X, because it comes with many features built right into Finder - and CD/DVD Burning as one of them. I would use it, however, if I hadn't verify every disc I burn with it. Is it possible to turn this annoying feature off?
P.S. Also, what are the benefits of verifying burned discs?
MacBook C2D Mac OS X (10.4.10) Apple Mighty Mouse, iPod Nano 2nd Gen

Because so many optical disks have a fairly high failure rate, verifying is the best way to ensure the disk will stay a reliable storage medium for future use. If I'm storing thousands of MP3's on a DVD, I want it to work a year later. By not verifying, you take the chance of having a nice coaster for your troubles instead of the data you thought you were storing.
Your mileage may vary
For me, verifying is part of the adventure of burning a disc.

I have an hd movie on final cut pro x; i want to create an sd disk of that movie. compressor created 2 files: dolby.... and mpeg2. How do I get these files burned to disc to create my sd movie?

These are elementary streams and they would be used by DVD authoring apps that use them for reasons like foreign language capability. Examples would be DVD Studio Pro, Adobe Encore, Toast.
The most straightforward way to burn your DVD is either to use the Share feature in FCP or the Batch Template feature in Compressor.
If you can find a boxed copy of iLife (try Amazon), it should have iDVD as part of the suite of apps. iDVD offers far more complete authoring capability than FCP or C4. iDVD doesn't work with elementary streams; you'd just drag in your HD movie and you'd be good to go.
Good lluck.
