IDVD burning problem, resolved!

Hello all.
I just ran into a fascinating problem with iDVD, and thankfully found a solution.
My father has been working on creating a DVD with 8 decades with of family still photos.
We've been through various versions, and issues, but all had gone relatively smoothly until we thought we had finished the editing. On what we hoped was the final burn, we received an error saying the DVD could not be burned. I tried again, and received the same error, a numeric code which I found discussion on via Google.
What is interesting is that when I saved a disc image, it was clearly larger than a DVD, yet iDVD did not indicate this was a problem. Weird.
Then, to reduce the length (and therefore the size), I switched to fixed intervals in the slideshows, rather than fitting the content to the music we had selected.
The moment I did this, iDVD seemed to recognize the DVD was too large and would not fit. For instance, Command-I showed red, indicating it was too large, and when attempting to export, I received an error message.
This, despite the fact that the length of the DVD was less than it had been previously, when iDVD seemed happy to burn it, then produce a meaningless error.

For a single layer DVD you can have a maximum 2 hours movie on the disc, including duration of menus, if set in Best Quality.
You can check to see if menus are not too long, if the movie (slideshow) is less than 2 hours.
And welcome to discussions!

Idvd burning problems during rendering/encoding

I have made several attempts to burn a dvd and when it gets to "step2: Menu and slideshow redering and encoding..." it never goes anywhere. If I cancel the process I get and error "error during rendering/encoding. there was an error during rendering/encoding of the menus/slideshows. Burning process aborted." The project is a 4 minute slideshow of pictures (jpegs) with one itunes imported song. The entire project was created in idvd and is no larger than 200megs. I have tried to burn this project on 3 different macs (2 G5s and a G4 powerbook) and they all have the same error so it must mean that I am doing something wrong. I have previewed the slideshow and it has no problems and am burning DVD-R's (tried a few different ones).

with one itunes imported song
Was this a iTunes Store purchased song?

IDVD burning problem

I burned a DVD off of iDVD using a Memorex DVD+R. It burned successfully and then I inserted it into my Mac Mini, it spit it out, I inserted it into my Macbook Pro and it said I had inserted a blank disc. Does anyone know what the problem may be? The disc im hoping and not the burner I have. Thanks in advance!

Your SuperDrive may be too old for DVD+R. Use DVD-R. Verbatim preferred. Office Depot and Best Buy stock those near me.
I only use DVD-R. More compatible with players.

IDVD Burning Problem...Pixels and Vibrating Image!!!!!

I have a 104 minute project that I'm burning in iDVD (exported from FCP Pro). Every time I play it back after burning, I notice the same scene (about midway through the project) is pixelated and the picture "vibrates" like crazy. I've already re-burned it about 5 different times, and the same thing happens with each disc.
Then, I've isolated the problem by only burning that particular scene onto a disc...no pixels, no "vibrating".
I then went back and re-burned the entire film again...same pixels, same problem in the same scene. What's going on?
I'm using Taiyo Yuden 8x DVD-R discs...I've set the burning speed to Professional Quality and the burn speed to 8x...I've chosen a 6.0 them (Road Trip)...and, Im burning directly to the DVD-R disc.
Why am I getting this strange problem? Please help!!!!

Well, you're using highly regarded DVD-Rs. I would create a disk image and burn it at 4X or slower. You can test the disk image to see if the problems exist before burning.
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

IDVD burn problem

when i burn my dvd from idvd everything comes out fine, except in one spot the audio drops for a split second. i have deleted the project, reimported my imovie project back in and its the same. the idvd preview plays fine at the same spot where it drops when burned. i have even created a quicktime file and it plays fine as well. very confused and need help soon. i have a movie project that is due in a few days. any help and advice would be appreciated.
thanks

Hi
There can be so many things
• Brand of DVD - I only use Verbatim
• Type of DVD - I only use DVD-R
• Burn Speed - I set down to x4 (or x1) - IMPORTANT
• Free space on Start-Up hard disk - I set a minimum of 25GB free (Important)
• Use of audio from iTunes or .mp3 (Convert out as .aiff 48kHz 16-bit or Audio-CD)

IDVD Burn Problems

IDVD 08 - problem with scene selection tabs not working after "burn"

I have a movie that is about an hour long (made in iMovie08 using mostly still photos). I wanted to have "chapters" -- but with that option gone, I used the Scene Selection option in iDVD08. This created menus with 15 scene selection buttons (I chose every 4 minutes). The menus were automatically created by iDVD and I did nothing to change them, except to type in scene info (two-three words).
The buttons all worked fine on the computer, and I burned a DVD. The DVD worked great in my VCR player. I'd select Play Movie and it would go. I'd select Scene Selection and I'd get the menus for that. But when I'd highlight one of the scene selections and "enter" (select) -- it wouldn't go to that scene. I could go back and forth between menus, and could move around and highlight the scene buttons, but selecting would not start the scene to play. The movie played fine from start to finish, and the other remote features worked (stop, pause, menu, etc.).
I went back to iDVD and chose a different theme (thinking maybe I'd inadvertently done something to mess things up. The only thing I did differently in addition to the new theme, was to add two small movie clips - and I rearranged the buttons on the menu (dragging) to get them positioned where I wanted them. So my first menu says "Play Movie". The second menu has: Play Movie, Scene Selections, Little Movie 1, Little Movie 2. Everything worked greated in iDVD. Then I created a disk image to view using DVD Player (rather than waste another DVD). Same problem -- only worse. This time I couldn't even highlight Scene Selection to get to the scenes' menus.
Any thoughts on why I'm not able to get the "Scene Selection" buttons to work after a burn? Am I missing a step somewhere in iDVD?
Thanks.

I am not sure, but does your post concerning the problem, that all Remote Control function will work properly within iDVD'08 but after burning the DVD absolutely not with the RC of your set top DVD player connected to your TV?
If this is it:
Meanwhile I could figure out - after many nights of not been very productive and only working out on all the iDVD'08 problems - that **ALL** of the *7.0 Themes* have a major problem in generally.
The following points are concerning iDVD'08 using any of the 7.0 Themes:
- Complete deep freeze of your Mac under Leopard when rendering/coding/burning a movie which has chapters and you use movies instead of still images in drop zones. (LeopardiDVD087.0Themes)
- Functions on remote control of your set top DVD player are not working correctly when making a movie with chapters. This is generally on Tiger and Leopard the same problem using iDVD08 with any of the 7.0 Themes.
Quick and dirty workaround:
You may avoid this if you simply use a 6.0 Theme or lower version of the Themes.
But this is of course not the clue...
It is VERY DISAPPOINTING, having software at such a low quality level deliverd by Apple. And somehow it looks like they DO NOTHING against it. No statement, no excuse, they really remain silent.
This may also be a thread you could be interested in:

IDVD burned disk does not start at main menu

The IDVD burned disk starts randomly in the middle of the disk. Cannot access the main menu. I started with an IMovie with chapter headings, videos and pictures. Then shared it with IDVD, created themes, music, changed the headers, etc. Burned the disk using the File Burn DVD command. The disk takes over 1 1/2 hours (IMovie orginal is 15 minutes) to burn.

Hello to all of you first-timers here!
Welcome to the discussions.
First, are you using iMovie 9?
Did you set chapter markers in iMovie? Did you follow the Chaper Marker Rules?
RULES: No marker at the beginning of your movie, no markers within 2 seconds of the beginning or end of the movie, and no markers on or within 2 seconds of your movie.
Next, did you put your movie in iDVD and then go make any changes to it? Sometimes that causes the chapters to default to the same spot in the movie. The only solution is to recreate the iDVD project.
You should first try deleting iDVD's preference file. You can find this by closing iDVD, going to your Home file (YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.idvd.plist
Drag this plist file to the trash. iDVD will create a new one when you relaunch it.
Reopen iDVD.
Try creating the disk image file again or burning a disk again.
If that results in the same problem, create a new iDVD project. Then, drag in the iMovie project from the Media/Movies pane in iDVD instead of sharing it from iDVD.
Post back if that does not resolve the issue.

IDVD burning - but playback shutters

Recently I made a quick 8:31 slideshow using iDVD.
I added a 3:36 mp3 file for background sound (which will loop). I select the Road Trip template in 4:3 and then completed the slideshow. Burned it and then played it in a DVD player.
The sound and slideshow hesitates at around 6 min and then continues to play after a few seconds. I have burned 4 DVDs in a verity of different ways.
I burned direct and burned off of a image. Either way the DVD hesitates and then plays at around 6 min.
Weird. Any ideas?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.6) I do it all...

Paul,
The problem is that iDVD treats slides in a slideshow as chapters (thus the old 99 slide per slideshow limit because there is a limit of 99 chapters in a Track).
Some set top DVD players don't handle the audio well at chapter breaks. The only way to insure continuous audio is to create a slideshow movie in iPhoto of iMovie.
It certainly seems to be a bug and I have reported it. Also willing to send the DVD project to Apple for review. This is a problem that deserves attention.
It's not reall a bug in iDVD - it's a bug in the way some manufacturers DVD players treat the multiplexed video/audio stream. Things have worked this way since the first version of iDVD.
Also, during playback while in iDVD the problem does not manifest.
The Preview playback function in iDVD is ONLY for checking that the menu structure works the way you expect it to. It tells you absolutely NOTHING about the finished disc quality because it simply plays back the original content.

Burn problem - "internal target failure"

Can anybody help me with a burn problem that is driving me crazy, especially as I am a recent migrant from Windows. Every time I burn in iDVD from an iMovie I get the error message at the burn stage, i.e. after 2 hours encoding etc. "The recording device reported the hardware error: internal target failure (0x44,0x00)". This is after reporting the problem to my dealer and having the Superdrive replaced under guarantee. Any ideas gratefully received.

Welcome to iDVD Discussions.
That may be a media/burning speed issue.
I recommend a disk image burned to Verbatim DVD-R at 4X or slower using Toast or Disk Utility.
David Pogue also recommends Verbatim on page 356 of his latest book:
iMovie HD & iDVD 6: The Missing Manual
Quoting David: "Cheaper brands don't use the same amount of organic dyes and are more likely to suffer premature deaths."
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...

Influencing query security - burning problem

Hi all,
I've a burning problem that I was not able to find a solution for within 1 week so far.
I want to simplyfy a selection of variables needed to run a query. So in fact you need three different values to identify a specific set of data. In order to not have the user to enter those 3 independent values, with all the risk of selecting invalid combinations, I created a new InfoObject that holds the three infoobjects (and some more) as attributes. So the user selects only one and I'm doing the work behind the scenes using user exit variables. I've created a multiprovider to combine the two cubes and the infoobject. The value that the user is selecting fron the "dummy" object needs to be excluded from the selection otherwise he'll see no data. This works very well so far, but as soon as security comes into play I run into problems. With security activated on the dummy infobject, the F4 help screen that allows the user to select what he wants to se is restricted, so it only shows the values that he's cleared for. Which is fine. When he selects one of the values it will be excluded as I#m using a selection option variable (no authorization variable) as the default of the variable needs to
be exclusion and not include. When the query then is executed I'm getting a message that the user is not authorized to read the security object (BRAIN804). So I probably will need a security variable, but this is not working to do what I need as a authorization variable gets populated with all the values that the user is cleared for. I only want one value and that should be picked fro the list.
Also this value need to be excluded otherwise I'll see no data as the dummy infobj. is not contained in the other two cubes. Have restricted the query to only use the two cubes and not the infobj. but as long I don't exlude the value it will retrieve no data.
Now my question - how can I influence the behavior of the security variable ? Remove some values via user exit, switch from inclusion to exclusion
or just use the security entries to read them and build the contents of the F4 help.
So any idea - answer is highly appreciated.
Bernd Dümmel
Eastman KODAK

Arun,
I was able to resolve the problem by adding # to the restrictions. That allowed me to be able to switch from exclude to include on the variable the user does the input. This also allowed me to switch the variable from selection option to single value. In doing this I then could add the authorization variable to the restrictions as well. Now the F4 list is restricted (based on the authorizations of the user) and all the security is working. So without the trick with the # value I would have needed to implement security within some user exits.
Thanks
Bernd

Why is iDVD burning incomplete?

I imported and edited my video in iMovie HD. I shared the video to iDVD and when I set everything up in the menus and all that, I burned my video and it ejects the blank DVD before it even starts burning. It ejects the disc at the "Multiplexing and burning..." stage, with a "Time remaining: about one minute". It says it's already done burning, but there is no burn mark on the DVD itself—it is still a blank DVD. I tried everything, I've gotten a few DVD's to burn, but some just won't burn.
How can I fix this issue?

Hi I managed to finally solve the problem and it was a simple DVD disc changing. SDMacuser reminded me of the speed of the DVD disc they have. The one I have is a 4X. I used a Fujifilm DVD+RW (no speed written on the disc).
What I did was a mix method as suggested on different postings:
1) Exported to idvd from imovie, with chapters. Change the navigation text. From +Why is iDVD burning incomplete?+ (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1991062&tstart=15)
2) I burn a disk image as J Keller suggested, and used Disk Utility to burn onto the DVD disc. From +Idvd ejecting while in the burn stage+ (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10293881#10293881)
I also burn successfully directly from iDVD using the faster speed DVD disc. So i would encourage everyone to check the burning speed of their DVD discs. It is usually written in big letters on the DVD disc surface: a number with a capital letter "X" as a metric. Eg. "2X", "16X". This might be the key to the incomplete burning problem.
I wasn't able to burn from iDVD to my DVD disc (with speed 4x), even after i have changed the burn speed settings of iDVD to 4x and 2x. Therefore i concluded that the problem is my disc.
How to change burn speed settings on iDVD:
-iDVD>Preferences>Advanced>Preferred DVD Burning Speed.
Lastly, the resources here really helped. Would encourage everyone to read thru the posts patiently. Most sincere thanks to everyone who contributed.

Seriously feeling dumb here...burning problems!

Ah I am so thick! Okay, so I've been going through all of these past threads about people with burning problems but I feel as if I'm missing something here because nothing seems to be working out for me with iDVD.
So, I have created a movie off of iDVD that is only about 3 minutes long, with transitions and titles and so on. I have archived it. I have deleted all past movies I have archived as well as purged my computer of alot of old stuff I don't need anymore (I have a lovely old eMac...) I have bought DVD-R's, (not the +R's which I mistakenly bought before the threads told me they don't work...) and this is what happens...I will press burn. iDVD's window flashes from my movie into a window that is just a black background with the iDVD icon in the bottom center, and almost immediately flashes back to my movie with no pop-up warnings or anything. Also in the past it has said there was some kind of a multiplexer error or whatever, but that pop up has since been gone from the problem.
I would really love to transfer this short film to this DVD-R so I can view it on my lovely DVD player for all my friends.
Any pointers all you smart DVD people!??
Thanks, Kate (the dumb cinema student...oy vey.)
By the way, if it helps with anyone's answer, I have an eMac, 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4.

Hi Kathryn
How much RAM do You have ?
How much free space on Your hard disk ?
What version of QuickTime ?
Have You been able to burn DVDs before ?
May be You could do like this (if You have an internal DVD-burner)
- Close iMovie
- Locate a QT.mov that is inside Your project folder (movie project)
in the Share to iDVD folder
- Start iDVD and drop this "project name".mov file inside the edge of
a theme window in iDVD
- Now try to play this - OK ?
- Then burn a DVD disk.

I was able to burn DL DVD's with 10.4.11, which is what shipped with my MBP when I purchased it. I haven't had need to burn a another DL DVD until now, approx 4 months later.
Does anyone out there have any suggestions on this? At this point I'm pondering waiting to see if 10.5.2 resolves the issue. If not, I suppose a trip to the Genius Bar is in order.

IDVD burning guide - reading required

As there seem to be many burn issues - it just never seems to stop - I have allowed myself to put together a little burning guide. As we have no "stickies" in discussions, maybe we can bump it a few times
Disclaimer: the advice given in the following is not (or only in part) my own wisdom, they are merely a collection of very good advice given by many experienced members of this board. Thanks to Sue, Beverly, Karl, Karsten, Fred, Len, Bengt, Matti, and many others who have been helping to keep things working - keep it up.
How to correctly burn a DVD
Before you start (from iMovie)
• Do not use the "Share to iDVD" option in iMovie, but save and quit iMovie then open iDVD and drag in your movie from the media pane or choose File > Import > Video. This has two advantages:
a. Only one app is open
b. It avoids a bug present in iMovie concerning photos/slides described by Karl Petersen in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2105598&#2105598
• iDVD likes to have the project(s) on your startup disc with min. 20 GB of available disc space
• iDVD doesn't get along well with 12-bit audio from camcorders (16-bit is required)
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=494268&tstart=0&start=45
• iDVD 6 only: There have been several issues concerning hangs/crashes when using mp3 files. Convert all mp3 audio files into AIFF before importing/burning.
Related thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=507979&tstart=0
Step-by-step
1. iDVD is NOT a disc burning app, so leave that work to software designed for it. Instead use iDVD's "Save as Disc Image" option (File > Save as Disk image). This creates an .img file on your HDD, that can be stored for future use and gives you the option to preview your DVD on your Mac before burning to disc.
2. Use Disc Utility or Toast to burn your DVD at slow speed. 4x is acceptable, 2x (... or even 1x) is better.
3. Use high quality DVD-R (not DVD+R) media (e.g. Verbatim) to minimize burn errors and compatibility issues. Make sure the DVD is compatible with slow burn speed (e.g. 1x-4x)
Note:
• iDVD 4 disc image burning can be enabled through the patch HPfurz

The Rules of Chapter Markers:
1. No chapter markers on or within 2 seconds of a transition.
2. No chapter markers within 2 seconds of the beginning or the end of the movie.
violating theses rules can create burn problems in iDVD
... is it still so, 'no music - no disk' using iPhoto slideshows...?
I have to say that I have no clue about that - I have yet to create a slideshow with iPhoto. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can jump in here ....
do you know the waybackmachine...?
You really got your research down, thanks for the link .... I'll go and save it as PDF, you never know
... just as an idea ...
I kinda like that idea: Karsten's Unofficial iDVD FAQ
maybe even with a downloadable PDF version .... now THAT would kill your bandwidth
