IDVD 4.0.1 will not burn DVD - stays on Stage 4 and times out after 15 hrs

I deleted the plist file, ran MacJanitor, repaired permissions, and recreated the project - same issue.
The project consists of a 9 minute and a 4 minute iMovie, three slideshows (95 pics each) with music, and three imported .mov files 1 min each and I am using standard iDVD themes with motion on.
I'm running OS 10.3.9, iDVD 4.0.1 and iMovie 4.0.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've had this happen to me too, and I found a
solution.
Write a Disk Image instead of an actual DVD - this
seems to work.
Then, when it's completed, you can burn that image
onto a DVD.
This also means that you can use the ame image to
burn as amny DVDs as you wish, without having to go
through the tediously lengthy process of comressing
it all again!
Hope this helps you out

  • IDVD 5.0.1 will not burn DVDs...

    I just finished installing all my programs: (MAC Office OSX, Studio MX 2004, Toast 5.1.3, and Audacity) also downloading and installing all the Apple recommended updates to Tiger, including the latest "security update".
    I then ventured to Burn a DVD... I used 11 separate video clips (DV - Downloaded to iMovie from a JVC Video Camera), non of which were over 1.2 GB... Then I proceeded to create the Menus and buttons and used one of the "motion" backgrounds... I also added 70 still images into a slideshow...Total project size = 3.5 GB.
    I tried to burn the DVD many times, but each time when it reached the burning stage, as it was writing the "Lead-in", it popped up a window: "The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry."
    I did get it to make a "disk Image" (.img), and this played great from my G5, but when I tried to use the Disk Utility to burn to DVD, the result was the same. It popped up a window: "The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry."
    Any thoughts or help with what may be the problem would be most appreciated.
    Perhaps I should upgrade "Toast"?

    Thanks for the insight, but I discovered it was not the Super Drive.
    As it turns out I took the advice of another post to this site about obtaining a program called, Mac Sweeper. You can find it here: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/13200
    This found a few different errors most of which were permissions, some associated with Macromedia Studio MX 2004.
    So I was able to burn a DVD from my finder, and I used the Disk Utility in OSX Tiger to burn the ".img" file I created from iDVD.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Will Not Burn DVD: Error code 0x8002006D

    Hello
    I have a 12" PowerBook G4 fitted with a SuperDrive running Tiger 10.4.11. My machine will still play & burn CD's it will still play DVD's but it will not burn DVD's.
    When trying to burn a DVD it comes up with following message:
    Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred
    (Error code 0x8002006D).
    I am trying to burn using Verbatim DVD-R, which I have successfully used in the past.
    Any ideas what the problem is, and are there any possible solutions?
    Thanks for any help.

    I've never had any issues with it either, I still think it's a good utility.
    For burners, an external would be easiest to use as it plugs into a port on the machine. The lacie burners are ok, overall decent software & firmware support. I tore my apart to use the drive in a G4 tower, software all still works!
    Get one that can use firewire & usb. the PPC will boot from a firewire external DVD & it could also be used later, if needed, on a machine that doesn't have FW.
    Another option is macsales.com here in the States sells the exact same slot drive apple does for about $90. They do ship internationally, about $25 USD to London. If you want an internal solution this would be the way to go.

  • M30x MultiDrive will not burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker

    Hi,
    My M30x MultiDrive will not burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker and other applications.
    I have also had problems burning CDs (unbranded) from Windows XP, built in utility.
    Does the multidrive have problems, with cheaper brand disks?
    Just to note,
    The laptop has been back to the support guys three times so far with various issues.
    (1) The hard drive failed.
    (2) The multidrive failed.
    (3) The motherboard got replaced, because of power failures, it wouldnt charge the battery or recognise that the power adapter was plugged in.
    Note: The harddisk, not the exhaust fan makes the most noise in mine!
    Thanks

    Hi
    As far as I know the preinstalled burning software (i.e. record now, drag ndrop) disabled the Windows XP burning option. In this case if you want to use the Movie Maker or Windows media player burning option, you should to enable this possibility.
    Please go to driver properties (right click). Please select the Recording tab. The option Enable CD recording on this drive should be marked.
    I use the Nero burning software and in my opinion its a one of the best burning programs. Furthermore you should try different CD/DVD manufacturers because some CDs and DVDs are not compatible with some drives. Check the TDK CDs and DVDs. I never had any problems with these medias.
    Best regards

  • Reminder app not working correctly, issue started around Sept. 1,2014. Will not allow me to set date and time for a reminder.

    Today I noticed an issue with my Reminder app on my IPhone 5s. Using OS 7.1.2. I called Apple, and the tech didn't know what he was doing and just trying different things.The reminder app will not let me set a date and time for reminder. Finally he escalated the call to a senior advisor who was rude, arrogant and unprofessional. He insisted the Reminder App was updated with the new update of IOS September/October 2013. Not true, the issue just started about 5 days ago August 31,2014. Now there is an additional reminder line for reminder entries that I have to use and have to transfer all my reminders manually from the other part of the app. The feature does exist; if I try to set a date and time for the reminder it appears for 1-2 seconds and then disappears.
    Has anyone else noticed this issue?

    He insisted the Reminder App was updated with the new update of IOS September/October 2013. Not true
    Yes, it is true.
    iOS 7 was released 18 Sep 2013. At this time, the Reminders app was updated (with most everything else).
    the issue just started about 5 days ago August 31,2014.
    Your issue just started but the app was not updated 5 days ago.
    Now there is an additional reminder line for reminder entries that I have to use
    I don’t understand what this means...
    Open Reminders, type the reminder, tap the i at the end, turn on Remind me on a day and enter the date/time.

  • Installed New DVD burner, but it will not burn DVDs

    I just installed a new Pioneer DVR-112D DVD burner but when I try to burn a DVD with iDVD 4 it will not burn a DVD. It looks like iDVD 4 will get to stage 4 of the process but it will not finish burning the DVD. Can anyone help me out?
    Thank you

    If you don't have Tiger, or iDVD 6 or higher, you will need PatchBurn

  • My HP DVD-RAM GH40L SCSI DVD burner will burn CDs and DVD+Rs, but it will not burn DVD-Rs.

    I have only tried to burn CDs and DVD+Rs before, and both work fine, but when I tried to burn a DVD-R, it failed.  I put the same blank DVD-R in my HP notebook computer, and it burned it just fine.  This happened twice, so it is not the DVDs.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the burner with device manager, but still have the same problem.  Is there a firmware update or something that will fix this, or do I just have a defective burner?  Thanks!

  • IDVD will not burn DVD or preview

    I made a DVD in IDVD and burned a DVD last week. I went back into IDVD to replace some photos and movies and when I tried to burn another DVD, the wheel spins and the progress screen comes up but does not progress or burn. I tried different DVDs but same result.
    When I am in IDVD, I am also unable to preview the DVD project. I can open up the individual folders and see the photos & movies but when I go to preview it, nothing happens. Is the problem with IDVD? I have 5.01.
    Thanks

    BD3188,
    Welcome to the iDVD forum....
    Try these steps first:
    delete the iDVD plist file "com.apple.iDVD.plist"
    repair disk permissions with disk utility
    make sure you have 15-20GB of free space on your startup drive
    try again....

  • IDVD 7.1.2 will not burn a iPhoto11 slideshow

    Is there a problem between iphoto 11 9.2.1 and iDVD 7.1.2?
    I created a slideshow using iphoto and using SHARE IDVD (which the iDVD software was open) it moved the slideshow over to my theme project in iDVD.
    I could view and play.  Now I wanted to burn it to a DVD.  The iDVD when through all it processing makes it to Multiplexing & burning.... does the asset parsing, then goes into multiplexing, from there  I get an error message "Multiplexer Error... error during building.... the disk is still untouched...".
    So looking at your last download fixes for idvd in july 2011 update was to fix the slideshow problem and it has not.  Is there a problem between iDVD and iPhoto 11?  Will Apple come out with an update, or fix, or a new software that one will have to purchase?
    Waiting on Apple

    It appears that there is a missing part of the system:
      Library not loaded:
    /Library/Frameworks/NyxAudioAnalysis.framework/Versions/A/NyxAudioAnalysis
    Download and use  Find Any File  to search for NyxAudioAnalysis.  If you find it and it's in the correct location reboot and try iDVD again.  If you don't find that file you can try reapplying the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 updater to see if that will install that file.

  • Optiarc DVD AD-7170A drives will not burn DVD's

    My 2007 MacPro has (2) Optiarc DVD AD-7170A drives, and neither will burn a DVD. They each have Firmware Revision: 1.N8
    I was able to find 2007 feeds regarding this problem - that I did not see get solved. Has anyone found a solution?
    Many thanks,

    Solution: No, not really...  but you can easily replace the drives with )correct) new ones.

  • Finder/Disc Utility/Toast Will Not Burn DVD+R, DVD-R

    I have an iMac that will no longer burn DVDs. I've tried various brands of DVD+R, DVD-R and DVD+R DL all of them do not burn in the finder, disc utility, or Toast. CDs burn fine. DVD+R DL discs burned previously with this machine will no longer mount. I just wiped the hard drive and reinstalled OS X and ran all updates and still have the problem.
    Media brands tried: OfficeMax, TDK, Maxell, JVC, Sony.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Disk Utility will not burn DVDs

    Disk Utility will no longer burn DVDs. I have tried both Memorex and Verbatim DVD+R DL -- Disk Utility tells me the disks are locked, not writable, capacity 0. These are fresh DVDs right off the spindle. I am, however able to write to these same DVDs using Burn, so it's not a media problem. Tried deleting preferences for Disk Utility, tried using Drive Genius 2 to repair the HD, but it didn't show any problems. Any solution short of doing a clean install of the system?

    Hi-
    Will the drive read any discs?
    Have you tried burning a disc at slower speed?
    Have you tried a different, quality brand of disc?
