IDVD doesn't import any media type

I have a weird problem with iDVD '09.
I made a movie in iMovie '09 and I shared in HD (720p). Then I wanted to burn the movie on a DVD but when I drop the movie in iDVD and want to play it, I only see an "cracked file icon". When I click Share - iDVD in iMovie it starts encoding but then when it's ready, iDVD says: "The file isn't a movie file."
I also can't import audio. No single format helped, I tried converting to quicktime (the video) too.
I have at least 60GB's of free space and I already have deleted the com.apple.iDVD.plist twice.
This is my first iDVD project and both iDVD and my iMac are completely updated (10.5.7 and iDVD 7.0.4).
Are there any solutions for my problem?
Thanks on forehand.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Do a verify and repair of permissions using Disk Utility. If that doesn't help, give this a try. Using another account, try to import media. If things work the way they should, then there a a problem in your account. If the problem persists, then you should reinstall iDVD. You can use this link to download AppDelete. http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/appdelete.html After deleting iDVD, go ahead with a reinstall.
I hope this helps.

IDVD doesn't start any more

Hello and help!!!
iDVD doesn't start any more.
On the 20th of March my iDVD 4.0.1 worked as well as allways but on the 21/3 it any longer did not start. I tryed starting it from iMovie such as I used it on the 20/3 and it does not start either.
I ask if it can to be an acceptable attempt of solution, to drag the aplicacion iDVD into the wastebasket, to install it again from the cd's that come with the computer and finally to update it with the revision 4.0.1
Can be any relation with the version of QuickTime?
Thanks,
Joan
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1.25 GB of RAM and QuickTime 7.0.1

If it were me, I would downgrade QT from v7 back to v6.x.x as that is the stable version to use with OS 10.3.9.
In addition, I would run the list of maintenance applications found in this post (or ones like them)...

IDVD won't import any iMovie project

Hi,
For the last 2 days I've been trying to import ANY type of video file from iMovie into iDVD 7.0.3 but again and again, I get the error: "Unsupported File Type : Unknown format"
I tried:
- Using iMovie to Share my project with iDVD but after coding etc, iDVD gives the error: "Not a movie"
- Using the Share -> "Media browser..." but every time iDVD gives the above error.
- Reinstalling iMovie and iDVD with Appcleaner.
The thing is that I can still import mp4 movies but not if I make them with iMovie. And when I for ex. try to drag a iMovie project that I Shared via iMovie, I don't get a green plus when put it in the menu of the DVD...
I really need to burn this DVD,
Please help me!

Hi
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
• 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 Disc Util tool)
• 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.
• 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 (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• 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.

Walkman and Album doesn't detect any media after reboot

I have just purchased a Sony Xperia Z1 for 1 week now, and I haven't got any problems with it until now.
For the first 5 days, it worked out fine. Then after I powered the whole thing off in order to charge it more effectively, and when I powered it on after that, I noticed something was not right. First, I can't find any of my pictures in my albums, the images were ' undetected ' by the album, like they were hidden out of sight or something. Then my walkman couldn't detect any songs that I have previously saved, which was working fine and my playlists were gone. I can access them using the file manager but the albums and walkman and movies apps were not able to detect those files. I tried downloading other photo viewer, video viewer and a music player app but they can't detect those files for some reason. And now I can't even access my mobile data.
Help?

LR 3.6 doesn't import any picture or file

I installed LR on my computer, win 7, and upgrade version 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 (with all updates) but i can't import pictures, they will be on the libary but i can't see them.
if i use only LR 1, no problem, it starts when i installed LR 2!?
but if i import a picture this will be shown in the libary but it is not dispayed( can't see the picture, only the place where this must be seen)
I did use all the updates, but still no progress?!
Please does anyone know how to handle so i can work my LR 3.6 ( before I upgrade to 4.0)
thanks

Hi Victoria,
that's correct, here's a screen shot of LR 2 (problem starts at LR 2 ?!) i didn't upgraded yet, because i want it to be good from the start (i use the same LR 3.6 on my laptop, win xp! thats the only differents)
thanks, Rob.

IDVD won't recognize any QuickTime files...

Suddenly iDVD doesn't recognize any of the files I had created previous DVDs with, nor is it recognizing new .mov files I have created. QuickTime, FCP, and DVD Studio Pro all still recognize and use the .mov files.
Has anyone else had this problem?
I have deleted iDVD and reinstalled, but the problem persists...
Any help out there?

Okay, I got on under my troubleshooting account, in which I've never even opened any of the iLife apps, populate the iPhoto library with some images off a memory stick, ditto for iTunes, and 2 of the Quicktime Movies that won't work under my regular account.
Created a brand new iPhoto slideshow and exported it through the 'share with iDVD' option as before. At the end of the slideshow export, I got an error message from iDVD saying that there were issues with the build and the movie was not a valid one, something like "it is not a movie". But, there it is, sitting in my Movies Folder as a Quicktime Movie AND I can play it with Quicktime.
So I try to do a new iDVD. Select the Revolution Template, drag in images from the iDVD media browser Photos, drag in music from the iDVD media browser Audio. All okay. Then I do the 'add a movie' choice, and drag the Quicktime Movie into the iDVD menu as before, and as before, it cannot 'find' it. I use the 'find file' again, and there it is, right where iDVD cannot see it. I select and open it, but iDVD responds by moving that 'find' to the bottom of the list and I'm caught in a gerbil wheel of 'finding' files that are right in front of me in the Finder, but can't be seen by iDVD.
I also restored all preferences from my last Time Machine save for iDVD, iPhoto, and the Media Browser. Tried it all again. No luck.
Any ideas?

Cannot import any video files.

I installed CS3 Master Collection, I tried importing a video file into Encore and Premiere Pro and it worked fine. That was 2 days ago, now when I try to import the same video file into either program the 'Import as asset' window pops up as normal but just sits there and does nothing. Then the program comes up with (not responding) and I have to shut it down. I have not changed or installed anything new on my machine.
Machine Spec:
Vista Ultimate 64 (fully updated).
Intel core2 duo E6750 2.66GHz.
4 gig OCZ DDR2 PC8400.
Gigabyte P35C-DS3R.
Nvidia BFG 8800GTS.
Creative X-Fi Extreme Music sound card.
I have since uninstalled CS3 and reinstalled it and I am still experiencing the same problem. I can import any other type of file (images, audio etc) I am only having this problem with video files.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Keep in mind that Vista is good enough to boot your computer, loads a bealtyful GUI, wallpaper loads and mounts the desktop icons. After that the computer works fine. The clock is ticking on the side bar, pictures changes on the middle of this bar, some another gadgets loads and so on . After short period of time, the screen saver starts. Wow vista works great! This is all that vista is capable of. Our problems with vista begins when we click in something. Believe me, i have 26 years of experience with computers. Downgrade to XP64. Your CS3 will work without problems. I have a computer with quad core, 16Gbytes of 667RAM, quadro board, and even in this monster Vista do not works with a long sort of problems. After the downgrade, my problems dissapear. CS3 works very well.

I could be wrong but I believe iDVD will only work with QuickTime Movies made from iMovie or Final Cut projects.

I cannot get a dvd to play. The error message says "media type not supported". I think it is a .m2ts. Any idea on how I can get it to play?

Import - sort by "media type" not working?

When importing media from my iphone I'd like to ONLY import jpgs, not the mov files. In searching, the sort option in the import dialog on "media type" should work so I can easily just select new jpg files, however this does nothing for me. Is this supposed to work? I'm running OSX 10.7.2 and LR 3.6.
Any ideas? Does this sort function work for anyone?
Thanks!

Ok. Never mind what I said about selecting the sort order before selecting the folder.
I just checked again on my computer and (LR3) was able to sort by media type, by date, by name etc. from a folder on my desktop drives.
It even worked when importing from a media card. This is weird.
Although everything seems to work for me now however I do remember having encountered the same issue before.
There might be a bug. It would be nice to have someone from Adobe or LR to explain the limitations if any of this sort function.
Good Luck Marty.

When i call someone who already connected with another call it doesn't show any wating notification. why? it is very important. all other mobiles have this potion. Please give me some solution.

Your iPhone can take multiple calls. If you answer your phone from one person or call someone and another call comes into you, you will hear a beep and if you pull your phone away from your ear, you will see that you can hang up the call with the 1st person or answer the 2nd call and then swap between the two.
I have no idea what you mean by you calling someone who is already talking to someone. I've never been able to see on my iPhone that someone I'm calling is already talking to someone else.
