IDVD closes during rendering

Hi I'm trying to create a dvd in iDVD 6, in the preview everything looks fine. But when I try to render it it finishes rendering the photos for the slide show and the transitions and then just closes down.
I have tried to render the video part with out the slideshow and it works fine, just not sure what's happening.
I have over 20 GB of free disk space.
The only thing I can think of is maybe I have too many photos for the slideshow (310).
Not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi
a. If You use SlideShow in iDVD the limit is 99 photos per set.
b. What file types are You using in Your project
• video - streamingDV.mov or .avi, .wmv, .mp4 ?
• audio - .aiff or .mp3 - iTunes downloads etc
• photos - .jpeg or .bmp else
I only use first alternative
c. Free space - I always goes for a minimum of 25Gb for SD 4x3 video
If 16x9 HD multiply with 4-5
d. Deleting pref file helps sometimes
e. Running Repair permissions also a possibility
Yours Bengt W

  • IDVD error during rendering/coding

    I'm very new to Mac--converted over from PC after 20 yr. We have a JVC HD camera, have uploaded the clips to iMovie08, done the editing, etc. After much searching on discussion groups finally figured out to choose share>export movie, then I went to iDVD to create a project, dropped in photos, etc, and hit BURN. All seemed like it was going to go well, but after 10-15 min I got the message: "There was an error during renering/encoding of menus/slideshows . . . the process has been cancelled." There was another pop-up box saying "You inserted a blank DVD . . . choose one of the following options or ignore," and the options are Open Finder, Open DVD, Open iTunes, Open Disk Utility, Open other applications, Run Script. What did I do wrong? I thought this Mac stuff was supposed to "just work."

    There may be something going on with one or more of the slides you selected. Have you moved any of their original locations or perhaps deleted one of the original files?

  • 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?

  • Error message during burning: Error during rendering/encoding

    Hello,
    I am using iDVD 6.0.2 to create a DVD. I have pictures and videos. The videos are in .ASF format and they are played on Quicktime on my computer.
    Anyway, when I go to burn the DVD, it goes through the slideshow fine. But then, once it starts videos, it stops and the following error message shows up:
    Encoding Video
    Error during rendering/encoding
    I am using a Memorex DVD-R (8x, 4.7 GB, 120 min video) dvd. Is there any way possible I can fix this problem? I really need this DVD soon. Thank you so much.

    Best Buy and Office Depot carry Verbatim by me. Use only DVD-R, not DVD+R.
    My guess is that .ASF file...........
    Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
    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.)

  • Error during rendering/encoding -- PLEASE HELP!!

    Hey everybody!! After trying twice to burn this project to DVD, I'm about ready to rip my hair out!! First of all, here's the specifics about my computer:
    Mac OS 10.3.7 / 800 MHZ Power PC G4 / 256 MB SDRam / My programs are iMovie 4 and I have iDVD5
    OK, I'm trying to burn a movie that is about 1 hour, 23 minutes long. Even though my movie is not 90 minutes long, iDVD does tell me that it is too long and that I need to click on "Best Performance" in my iDVD Preferences. No problem, I did that. (By the way, at the time of the burning, I have about 5.1 GB on space left on my hard drive.)
    Before burning I do repair permissions and delete my "com.apple.idvd.plist".
    So, it burns and burns for roughly 6 hours. Right at the very end, the disk spits out and an error message comes up saying:
    Encoding Video
    Error during rendering/encoding:
    This is very frustrating because I need to get this video done by tonight and turn it in by Monday morning!!
    Any suggestions?? Please help!!! Thanxx!!

    I have about 5.1 GB on space left on my hard drive
    I don't think that's enough. Remember a DVD is 4.7GB (which iDVD first stores on your hard drive) plus temporary files that iDVD needs.

  • I repeatedly get "error during rendering/encoding of menus/slideshow" message.  This process is the same on my iMac, MacBook and another iMac.  I have been burning dvd's int he same way for the past 12 months using the exact same steps successfully.

    I keep getting "error during rendering/encoding of menus/slideshows" message.  I have been burning DVD's in exactly the same way for the past 12 months and mostly on my MacBook which is 3 years old.  Obviously I'm using iDVD.  I purchased an iMac about a year ago and moved to use this for dvd burning without problem.  A few months ago (approximately) I started to experience problems with burning with the error message above.  I tried everything including starting the whole process from scratch right down to capturing the movie clips from my video recorder into iMovie, then using them in iDVD.  Still the same message came up.  I lost count of how many times I repeated the process with different clips and variations and the same thing happened.  This was also the case with my MacBook and my husband's iMac.
    After taking both of mymac's tothe service centre, having new optical thingys put it and even a new hard drive on my iMac along with a new DVD burner the same thing happened.  They told me it must be the process that I am using that is incorrect!
    I took my 27" iMac to an apple shop and asked them to assist me while I use the same technique as I always had.  The same message came up so they tried using my clips in one of their mac's.  The same message. They tried it with different clips and the same message.  The only way we could get theirs to work was with a magic DVD which did not produce what I needed and was limited with only one page. 
    I now cannot use any of my Mac's for the intended purpose that I bought them for - to produce good media for my work!  It was suggested that I purchase some non Mac software to burn DVDs which defeats the object of having a mac with iDVD in my opinion.  I have a book on iDVD which is very informative and have followed the process to the letter and checked all the trouble shooting and still no remedy.  It was mentioned that an up-date may have caused the problem on all my macs.
    I feel that this issue should be addressed by Apple as a matter of correctness.
    I now find that on the net there are many posts in forums and such like with exactly the same (almost word for word) problems.  Please Apple, keep/regain your good name and sort this out.
    Jayne Connelly

    Thanks Bengt W for your attention to this matter.  So much appreciated.  And thanks for putting me right on the aim of forums (new to this).  Although, you may regret asking for more information.  I've added everything I can below.
    The process I used is as follows:
    Import recorded clips of between 5 and 15minutes each from my video recorder into i
    Edit the clips (remove unwanted start and endng)
    Add title to front of clips
    ‘Share’ them to ‘movie’ (export using QuickTime)folder in .mov format individually
    Open iDVD and ‘create new project’
    Select ‘favourite’ theme that I have set up forall my work dvd’s (this has been used successfully many times and I’ve triedwithout using the favourite them).
    Add 2 submenus for each group of clips
    Select submenu  - drag and drop between 3 – 6 clips in each of the twosubmenus
    Change title colours on clips
    Dragand drop image into drop zones where required
    In‘map’ view I check for any yellow warnings before burning to disc
    In an attempt to remedy the problems I’ve tried the following:
    Try new DVD discs
    Try different themes (favourites and standardones)
    Change images in drop zones
    Start whole process again even from importingfrom camera again
    Two other completely different computers (iMacand MacBook) with iDVD
    Go to apple shop and use their computers to doin iDVD
    Try with one clip and no menu pages added
    Use a clip that I already have that did notoriginate from my camera
    Turn computer off and restart
    New hard drive
    New optical lense (thing)
    New DVD burner
    Saving to disc image rather than dvd disc
    Other points:
    I also have a ‘flip’ and ‘iPhone’ whereI’ve imported footage camera which, although limited, records and makes videoclips and burns them to DVD through iDVD without problem.
    For example, I have just gone through steps 5 - 11 using some clips that were already imported from my iphone to iPhoto and dragged across.  I used a theme that I've used before which has failed and added one sub menu page where the clip went.  It burned to disc image successfully.
    The startup disc, I believe will have no space issues asit’s a new hard drive with no use apart from this.  That could have been an issue before (I didn’t check it) butnot now.
    Other technical stuff that I don't understand but you may:
    I have…… Mac OS X Version 10.6.7 with all updates onit.  Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Corei7.  Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.

  • Idvd 08 error rendering menu

    I try to make a dvd from final cut express, but idvd always tell me the same error (error during rendering menu), even if I change themes. I tried with roxio toast and it works well, but I can't have chapters. I don't know if the same film would have been good with idvd 06, because since I bought Ilife 08, Idvd 06 has disappeared from my computer.I am quite disapointed by Ilife 08, because Imovie is much less interesting for me to make movies (so I bought FCE). If Idvd doesn't works, I think I will be quite angry....
    Could someone help me ?
    Sorry for my english, it's not my natural language...

    Thank you for your quick answer, I'll try to give you all specs :
    1. Imac 24" intel 2.16 core 2 duo
    2. On main startup volume, 60.31 Go avalaible. I work with an external HD with raid 1 from Synology and 200 Go available.
    3. 2 Go Ram memory
    4. S.drive
    5. Two kinds of video : from a Sony DV imported as dv, and from a Panasonic SD imported as .mov.
    6. I export as quicktime sequence with chapter marks, not autonome (it doesn't works, it makes 5 sequences of 2 Go and they are not recognized as qt format). The export is good as qt sequence, I can read it.
    7. Yes I run on monday (I think it is the latest update)
    8. I didn't download IDVD 6, because I didn't know that it was avalaible. (I did it for Imovie6)
    After I wrote you yesterday, I tried something else :
    Reading FAQ about Idvd, I learnt that chapter markers must be at least 2 seconds after transition, so I erase all markers and re positioned them as said. Since than moment, when I render and save, and then export as QT sequence, it appears in IDVD without markers !!! I tried 6 or 7 times changing name, markers etc.. Nothing good...
    I have also tried to export the whole project as dv with markers, the sequence is 7 Go but markers are not appearing in IDVD and the quality is quite bad.
    Thanks a lot

  • IDVD 6 project rendering error

    I have done over 40 DVDs on my old powerbook, never had problem. Got my MBP 2.2 a week ago, tonight I render an image file as usual, it stops at 30% and shows rendering error message, what could be the problem? Thanks Alex

    I tried it again and same error message
    Error during rendering/encoding
    There was an error during rendering/encoding of the menus/slideshows. Burning process canceled.
    I am not burning the Dvd yet, this is how I do it. When my iDVD project is complete, I hit Shift+Apple key+R to render and make an image file, after that I burn DVD. I render this project on the MPB harddrive not my lacie hd, I do not have slideshows on this project either. Like I said, I have done the same thing too many times on PB without a single problem, any other thoughts? Thanks Alex

  • Error message: Error During Rendering / Encoding

    Greetings,
    I have used iDVD in the past without problems on my macbook pro. Now it seems there is no way to make it work! I get this error everytime: "Error During Rendering/Encoding" the error is in the menu/slideshows, but I see that it never gets past the menu item on the list of things it is working on. I have tried going to the older menus and no luck. It says that the burning process has been cancelled. Any ideas?????
    Thanks!

    Hooray! I got it... I used what you said and this other post (below) helped as well. Is there a way to remove the apple logo from the menu page?
    Here is the other post that helped as well:
    I was having the same problem yesterday and researched all the solutions in the Forum. I wasn't experiencing the problem with burning to a disc, because I was trying to burn a disc image, so the variable of "better" versus "best" disc wasn't a factor. I did three simple things that I read about, after I tried four times and received the "Multiplexor Error" thing. One, I deleted encoded assets (Advanced > Delete Encoded Assets). Two, I trashed the iDVD preference file (home > library > preferences > com.apple.iDVD.plist), but only after I closed the iDVD application. Three, and maybe this stupid little glitchy thing made a difference, I deleted from the title and scene headings all characters other than letters of the alphabet and numbers. I have a few "&"'s and "/"s in there and maybe a few other little lazy short-cut things. Sort of a Microsoft thing, but maybe that was the trick. So, this morning the Disc Image was created, I've burned several DVD's (Magnavox DVD-R), they work on my Sony Blu-Ray player and all is happyland today.

  • Can't Burn DVD - keep getting "Error during rendering/encoding"...Help!

    I have a new IMac computer with Leopard and I'm having problems burning DVDs. I created a project using IDVD and have audio and pictures (imported individually from Iphoto) that I created into slideshows. I'm try to burn my final copy and continue to receive the "Error during rendering/encoding" message. I looked at earlier threads and saw some people had success when saving it first to a disk image however when I attempted to do that I received the same error. I know I have plenty of memory space since this project is very small. Please let me know if you have any ideas!!
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I have a new mac with Leopard since a week, and I had the same problem ("error during rendering / encoding..."). This happened when burning to a disk image.
    I tried a lot of things :
    * very small project
    * create a new user
    * put pictures in a folder, and not drag them from iphoto
    * change the theme
    I still had the same problem.
    The last thing I tried was to put all the files used by idvd on the hard disk (instead of of an external firewire disk).
    It worked ! (with the small size project).
    I'm trying to burn the large project again...
    I will tell you if it succeeds...
    Best regards,
    Nicolas
