I cannot burn my movie onto IDVD.

I cannot burn my movie onto IDVD. Says multiplexing error. Tried rerendering it as suggested on error code. Apple wants to charge me $29 to look into it and says the money is non refundable. Suggested I come here. Can anyone help me? Please...

I went to the TROUBLESHOOTING desk yesterday at our APPLE store. I got 15 minutes free. They told me that IDVD is no longer supported by APPLE and my Mac Mini is 5 years old, therefore, I'm out of luck. They told me to download new software and I thought the technician said the software is called IM DVD, but of course, I get home and I can't find it. Now what?

I can't find iDVD on my computer, and I need to burn a movie onto a disk. Help?

I can't find iDVD on my computer. I need to burn a movie onto a disk, and I need it quickly. Can someone help me? I've searched for iDVD in applications, but it's not there.

iDVD is no longer supported by Apple and does not come pre-loaded on new Macs.
If your computer did not come with iDVD and iWeb preinstalled, you can ask Apple for a free copy here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
Alternatively, you can purchase a boxed version of iLife '11 from Apple, Amazone, etc. Boxed versions come with iDVD and iWeb still on the disk.

Been trying to burn a movie onto DVD and get this "The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media" Anybody know what it means and what to do? Help! Thanks

It generally means that the media is faulty or of poor quality. Most of us here use Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden media.

Your Superdrive may need a clean.
If you have further questions please state what Mac, with what versions of OS X, iMovie and iDVD you are using.

What program did you use to burn the DVD? What format is the movie in? What happens when you insert the DVD into the MBP?

Burn I movie onto a disc

I want to burn an I movie onto a disc. When I try to do it it tells me that the cd can't be played on a dvd player and that the file is too large for a disc. What should I do? I want to be able to copy the movie onto discs and mail it to several clients. I want them to be able to receive the movie in an easy format. When I e mail it the compressed file is hard to see.

You must burn a video on a DVD disc, not a CD.
Burn your DVD by clicking on the round wheel just to the left of the Themes button in the iDVD project window. Or use the Disk Utility app on your Mac to burn it.
Any project under two hours running time will burn on a standard DVD disc.

Burning a movie from idvd

i made a movie on idvd and im trying to burn it...... when i put a blank dvd in it spits it back out and says insert a readable dvd..... i am using dvd-rw....... please help! i need to burn this dvd for an event today

#1 Rule ..... Don't stress.
Let me make a suggestion. Burn a disc image to the desktop if all else fails here. This essentially eliminates the need to burn to Dvd completely and uses the mac's internal hard drive as a virtual Dvd for playback purposes (keep in mind that both a disc image and a finished idvd respond to apple's dvd player in an identical fashion). You can always use your mac and apple's dvd player to present the disc image to most set tops or TV's with the proper cables ..... Might this work for you?
Other than this, the only other suggestion is to secure the correct / recommended media from the very start.

Burning Purchased Movies onto a DVD

If I purchase and download a movie from the iTunes store, can I burn that movie to a DVD the same way that a burn or back-up my music to a CD? Also, if I put the movie onto a DVD, will it play in a DVD player?

Not exactly, to anyone reading the Terms of Service, it's not all that apparent really. Here's what the Terms say:
"(vi) You shall not be entitled to burn video Products or ring tone Products.
(vii) You shall be entitled to export, burn (if applicable) or copy (if applicable) Products solely for personal, noncommercial use. "
To me, this just tells me that I can't burn video products, but then contradicts itself saying that I CAN burn video products, but only for personal use (in other words, the standard rules of not reselling or distributing videos, as all videos state in the beginning)...
I did read the Terms before making those purchases, and they are not very clear. So with this in mind, I do blame Apple for not stating the terms more clearly...

I have been trying to burn a movie in iDVD and it has been VERY slow. Never had problems in the past. HELP!

Hi there, I have been trying to burn a movie I created in iDVD. When in the "creating your DVD" it is VERY slow saying it will take over 6 hours to burn the movie. I have never had this problem before. It also won't let me minimize the screen, I just get the beeping noise that something is wrong, but no pop up window telling me what to do. Does that make sense? Also the black & orange burn wheel is spinning VERY slowly and will often just stop. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Hi
When iDVD goes slow to ridiculously slow - it usually depends on - low free space on Start-up hard disk
• I set for a minimum of 25Gb free space
• 10Gb might work but slow
• 5Gb - slow and un-stable - DVD usually doesn't play
• <1Gb - iDVD might not even start and even so Mac OS runs into problems.
Else
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
• 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.

Problem to burn a movie in iDVD

After I have edited a movie in iMovie, I would burn it to a disc. As I have made, you can only burn an edited movie into iDVD.
But it is not. When you press the "burn" button it should be a progress box where it should be how long it takes to burn the disc. But there is no box, but it says I must insert the disk in the mac, though I have already done so.
What should I do? Could it be something with the movie format, which is originally from a video camera (avi.)
I've actually been able to burn music, pictures and movies directly in the Finder, but those burn as files without having been edited.
Help me, dear Mac users!
//Anapple_aday

Hi
But there is no box, but it says I must insert the disk in the mac, though I have already done so.
YES - this is What NOT to do !
If You insert a DVD before asked for it - Mac will ask You if it should format it.
You can select to ignore this and it should work BUT IF You accept to format Your
Mac will do a Data-DVD and not a Video-DVD.
If You've not been asked to format - then Your Mac can't identify the inserted DVD
(still not asked for by iDVD)
• Use a Cleaning DVD - for Your SuperDrive (DVD-burner)
• Please state Brand and type of DVDs used ? eg. Verbatim DVD-R (what I use)

Burning long movie from IDVD

Hi I hope i'm in the right place. I have a G5 - new in Sept. It has a Superdrive and I am wondering if I can burn my movie (over 5 Gig and just over 2 hours) to a memorex DVD+R DL disk I can't find a compatability list anywhere.
Thanks
Leslie
iMac G5 2G Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Hi Leslie:
According to this Apple Article DVD+R DL disks are compatible-just doesn't mention Memorex by name.

Burning ITunes Movie in IDVD

Is it possible to burn a movie downloaded in the ITunes store using IDVD?

Hi K
Only way I would try and ONLY with material that's not under Copyprotection law.
I would connect my Mac S-video out or via iPod to a VHS VCR recorder. From
this to an analog/digitalconverter or Camera with video trough or tape on a
miniDV tape.
Then import into iMovie.
Copy protection signal will probably stop this but if not You have to follow law
anyhow.

Burning a movie onto a DVD+RW ??

How come when I burn a movie on my DVD+RW, it works when I play it through my mac laptop computer, but it doesn't work in my DVD player???
Do these require two different disks or something?

one of my older set top dvd players also has issues with rw (and/+ plus) media. not uncommon. I think it's because some RW's have a lower reflective surface than standard dvd-r (and again this varies by brand /manufacturer). so yes, this can happen.

Burning a movie onto a dvd

I made a 4 minute movie on imovie. I want to burn it onto a dvd so it can be viewed on a dvd player or on another computer. How do I do it?

You need to use an authoring program to burn a DVD disk that can be played on both computers and DVD players. That is what the iLife application iDVD is designed to do. Use it. The basic process is that you open iDVD and create a new project. You will need to select standard or widescreen. Once iDVD opens, go to its Preferences and select PAL or NTSC depending on where you live. In the US, you need to use NTSC. Next choose a theme. Then use the Movies tab to locate your iMovie and drag/drop your iMovie into the main menu of iDVD. You can customize the font type, size and color in your iDVD project. When you have finished editing the project, you can either create a disk image file of it and burn disks from that using Disk Utility, or you can just insert a blank DVD disk and burn it directly.
Be sure to use a good brand of DVD disk such as Verbatim, Maxell, Sony or Taiyo Yuden; not store brands, TDK or Memorex.
Also, select a burn speed of 4x or less.
Have a look at the iDVD tutorial for the version you are using so that you can learn how to use iDVD:
http://www.apple.com/support/ilife/tutorials/idvd/index.html
This one is for iDVD 6, but iDVD 8/9 are not that different.

I cannot burn DVDs in either iDVD or iMovie.

The DVD ejects before the process ends, and is blank.
I have an iMac running Lion. Significantly, nothing at akll comes up about disc burning in the 'About My Mac' utility.

Hi again Frank - I am happy to report that I solved the problem and managed to burn DVDs that I can view in my DVD player.
The solution required a certain amount of lateral thought, as follows
(dramatic pause)
- if at first you can't burn DVDs on your own iMac, use your wife's iMac instead.
Mrs Cromercrox1 has an iMac that's a more recent model than mine, so I decided to give it a go (I asked her first, of course.) So I exported the m4v file from my own iMac onto a memory stick, loaded it onto my wife's iMac, formatted it in iMovie, prettified it in iDVD and burned the discs.
The video quality was rather poor but the audio was better - but I am not really complaining as I was just so pleased to have been able to have burned the darned things at all. So all's well that end's well

I just burned a movie in iDVD and in playback there is a flashing/strobing green across the entire screen. This pulsating color field is there the entire length of the recording. Any ideas what I did wrong?

I have idvd 7.0.4 and I loaded a movie from imovie to idvd then burned it to dvdr 4.7G and when I play back I get this pulsating green color over the movie image. Theis color is the same as a green-screen and there is quite a bit of green screen work in the film. Any ideas what is happening in the burn process?

Check the suggestions in this topic: Green line across screen when playing a burned dvd..?
The workflow I suggest you follow is:
1 - save the project as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option.
2 - mount the disk image on your Desktop and play it with DVD Player to assure youself that it plays correctly. This tells you the encoding was good.
3 - burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available, 2x or 4X, to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
