Any messages or warnings?
What type of content do you have, i.e. movies, photos for slideshows?
What brand of DVD disk are your using?

My iDVD does not burn the movie. It ejects DVD before finishing burning.

My iDVD does not burn movie on DVD. It ejects the the DVD before the burning is finished! Does anyone know what the problem is?

Try cleaning the Superdrive and performing a SMC reset:

Out of the Box MacBook Pro does not burn DVD DL

Hi
My new out of the Box MacBook Pro 2,8 Ghz, 500 GB HD does not burn DVD DL.
Its telling me something like "Servo Error" in Toast 10.0.4 and also iTunes with a big playlist in DataDVD burn mode does not get the job of burning a DVD DL done.
It makes me soooo sad.
I had problems with my DVD Drive on my Power Book G4 12", also on my MacBook 2,16 Ghz even after a repair it would not burn DVD DL.
So what to do?

Hi
Thanks for the tips.
Well since its a absolutely new MacBook Pro it should burn DL as stated on the Box. So I call the store and they will sent me a new one.That worked very nice and smoothly, so here on costumer care apple is on the very big side.
I hope the new one will burn em right away.
You know: Why do they put such bad drives in their so nicely build MacBooks? I don't get it at all. Maybe we are short before Bluray and so they putting inn all the old drives.... Who knows.
Its well know that apple is not using very good drives in their computers.
Na ja so ist es halt.
Keep the good work up!

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 does not burn camera audio - does burn ITunes audio

I have a Sony DCR-TRV460 video camera. The computer does not see my camera. I used an ADS Pyro A/V Link to get the movie from the camera to the computer. When I preview the movie in IMovie, I get the audio and video from the camera perfectly. When I move the movie to IDVD, I preview everything perfectly. When I burn the DVD I lose the audio from my camera. I have tried exporting the audio and that didn't work either. Any ideas on what I can do?

To add to Sue's post, have you tried the Firewire connection (camcorder to computer via Firewire, nothing in-between)? If the computer doesn't recognize the camcorder doing this, then that is problem 1 that needs solved prior to trying another sequence. Be sure your camcorder is set to 16-bit audio, many are set at 12-bit by default. Once you get the computer to recognize the camcorder, export this sequence back to tape, then re-import from the new tape and try burning that and see what happens.

DVD Burner does not burn DVD's

I have 1.66 Ghz intel core duo with a DVD burner. The burner will burn CD's but not DVD's. I used the lens cleaner to no avail. Does anyone have any experience with this problem? Any advice?

Your mini probably only came with a combo drive, which can read DVD's, but is unable to burn DVD's.

Sonic software does not burn DVDs on Satellite 105

Hi there,
I've some movies which I downloaded via Windows movie maker, but have failed burning them. I've edited the movies with all the works, I was only able to burn them using the CD disc, but will not burn with a DVD-R disc.
My other attempts involved using the pre-installed Sonic DVD maker software, but I could not transfer my movies from the windows movie maker(WMM) library. How do I do this? I tried importing the movies, but the Sonic would only import videos found in the "My Videos folder", I transferred one movie into my video folder and was able to transfer it to the Sonic library, however, I couldn't figure out how to edit the video, the Sonic software doesn't seem to guide you on what steps to do, unlike WMM.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated since I've wasted too many CD discs already.
Cheers

Hi
I dont know if the Windows movie maker is able to burn on DVDs. I presume its not possible. I have checked the WMM options and it seems there is only a option called save to CD and nothing about DVD.
I dont use the Windows movie maker but another application called Nero burning ROM.
Its really fantastic software. I have installed some add-ons and I can create DVD movies and play it with the simply DVD player.
I recommend checking and testing the Nero!

IDVD Will not Burn DVD's

I have searched the forum for answers for this and have so far not found any. I am sure that I saw something about 6 months ago which explained why the problem was occurring and how to get around it. Maybe you can remind me?
Basically I have created a project in iDVD 08 and tried to burn it. It goes through all of the procedures and then spits the disk out without anything on it.
I have a feeling that this is a know glitch with iDVD and something to do with the themes. I have nothing wrong with my MacBook Pro which has 4gb ram and 30gb hard drive available. I know that there is a simple solution to this and would appreciate it if the people who posted 6 months ago could let me know what it is.

How long is your project?
If you are trying to burn 1-1/2 hour or longer DVD, then 30gb free is likely not enough space.
Other than that...
Are you getting an error message when it spits out the disk?
Are you using DVD-R or DVD-RW?
SL or DL disk?
Once the disk has ejected, if you reinsert, what does finder do? It's possible the burn actually did start, but failed almost immediately. In which case, if your disk is a plain R, it may no longer be considered writable.
It's also possible iDVD completes the render, but is just asking you for a blank disk.

IDVD Does not Burn 2 or more Copies

For a few weeks not I have been having an issue with iDVD where it will burn a DVD (dual layer), eject it through the DVD burner and the diaglog is stuck on burning but says done. There is no prompt to insert another DVD. I do insert another one and nothing happens.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
David

I tried saving it to an image and if fails every time. Plus I heard that it won't burn correctly when doing a Dual Layer DVD?
David
It could be a iDVD preference issue.
Try the following:
1 - delete the iDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.

3 - launch iDVD and try again.

IDVD does not burn iMovie, blank disc

iMovie is fine. I export to iDVD and everything is fine, make titles, etc.
I burn and everything's ok, and the burn progresses fine, but the burn stops and spits out the disc seconds before it is complete.
I put the disc back in and I get the "you have inserted a blank disc....." message.
I'm using iLife '09, Maxell DVD-R discs (which have worked fine before) I scoured the internet and tried ALL suggestions I came across.
Any ideas or help is appreciated.....

Don't know why some fail so soon. But it does happen. Happened to me also a few years back. Did you happen to purchase an extended applecare warranty by any chance? If not apple normally covers these issues for the first 12 months (1 year). Nevertheless, Id give them a call anyway and feel free to keep us posted. I can tell you from experience that apple is normally very good about servicing their products (even those slightly out of warranty) so it is worth the call.
If you don't get the results you want, then just post back and we'll provided additional recommendations or possible workarounds.

Idvd will not burn after upgrade to maverick

Hello-
I just upgraded to maverick and now iDVD will not burn a DVD - says it does not have a compatible superdrive. It was working fine until I upgraded. How can I burn a nice DVD now?

Suggestion only. Before launching, did you also check for updates via apple's software updater?

SuperDrive will not burn dvds

I can burn CDs,play CDs and watch DVDs. I can not burn DVDs. I have iLife but I cannot run iDVD because it is not compatible with of my version of OS. Why I don't know. Why should I have to buy every upgrade that come out? I can live with that, sort of, but why can't I burn a data DVD? I looked for a new driver but there does not seem to be one for Leopard. will I have to buy iLife 09 to bun a DVD?

My iDvd will not burn a disc...there is an encoding error that comes up after the title screen

Like it says in the title...My iDvd will not burn a disc...there is an encoding error that comes up after the title screen.
Here is the process that I have been doing.
1. put in a blank disk and with the project already being done, i hit burn (not too hard).
2. iDvd then starts to encode the title.
3. After the title has been encoded, the burning stops and a message comes up saying "there was an error during encoding" and when ever I try to burn the same message keeps on coming up.
I am running version 7.0.4
any help would be extremely helpful

Try using this workflow:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
Then you can concentrate on the content if you can't create a disk image of the project.

IDVD does not recognize chapters

Using iDVD '08 (7.0.2) on OS X 10.5.4, iMac 24" 2.8GHz C2D.
I created a video using FCP 5.1.4 and exported to QT Movie. I did not "Make Movie Self-Contained." I did select "All Markers" to be exported (I made sure to also create the <CHAPTER> tag for each marker). When I view the resulting movie in QT Player, I can see the chapter markers (there are two). However, when importing into iDVD, no chapter submenus are created (I am using the "Forever" theme), and pressing the chapter forward/back buttons in the preview player just take me to the end/beginning of the video, respectively.
Any idea what is wrong here, and how I can get a chapter submenu to be created? Thanks for any assistance.

Final Cut Studio: "All Markers" option does not include DVD Chapter Markers at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1233 says it all "When you export a QuickTime movie from Final Cut Pro, choosing the "All Markers" option does not include chapter markers that will function in DVD Studio Pro or iDVD."
When having problems, checking the Apple Knowledge Base is always the best first step.

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.
