IDVD encoding errors when attempting to burn slide show to DVD.

iDVD fails to burn disk and fails with encoding error. Have attempted to use best, good, and professional modes of encoding to no avail.

Hi Patrick,
Welcome to Apple Discussions. I see you're a new member. Hope you're enjoying your new Mac Pro. What are you trying to burn to exactly? I use Verbatim Dvd-R with excellent results. If you are using a higher quality media like Verbatim, Maxell, or Taiyo Yuden but to no avail then I need to ask if you have first tried making a disc image from the file menu in iDvd and then playing back said image with apple's dvd player app (prior to burning to Dvd-R).
This approach helps us narrow down the issue so we can better assist you.

Encoding error when attempting to burn dvd using iDVD

I made a movie out of a slide-show I made in iPhoto using iMovie. I then went to share-media browser-large. Once that was completed I went to iDVD and selected the movie in the menu to the left, then drug it to the idvd menu screen and it added the movie. I added some photos and music to the menu screen as well. I then clicked on the burn symbol at the bottom and it began burning then I got an error message saying "error during encoding/rendering. Burning terminated." I had at least 90 GB remaining in my hard drive. Is there a defect in this software? I would like to get to the root of the problem. Please help.

How much space is available on the boot drive?
Ensure all your software is up to date (Apple Menu > Software Update).
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches (I remove the whole folder. It will be re-generated upon restart.)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iDVD (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
If the issue persists I would try a brand new project with different content added (say a still image and a slideshow in iDVD) and save as disk image again. Just to make sure iDVD itself is working.

Sense Code 0X00023A02 error when attempting to burn RW

Hello. I am recieving this error when attempting to burn from to a DVD-RW or a DVD+RW. I know the first thing that is going to be mentioned is additional software such as on the "things to avoid" list when burning DVD's, however, I have all versions of Encore that have been produced, so I simply uninstalled 2.0 which was giving me the error code, and installed 1.5 and was able to burn a project with the same exact disc. I uninstalled no other software and did nothing else, besides rebooted, which I always do when I install and uninstall my applications. Therefore my thinking is that it is within Encore. It also with another RW in 2.0 states that it cannot erase the disc even if I do not have auto erase selected, and the disc was previously erased with Nero. I am actually sort of angry because I purchased a new burner to test out this error that I was recieving, and while I can indeed return the burner, I noticed others are being advised to check other software they have on their system. I have none of the software listed on the detrimental applications that may interfere with the burning process and I also now have (2) less than a year old burners along with a "not soo inexpensive" application that in essence does not work in a way I need it to. Yes, I can uninstall 2.0 and simply use 1.5, but I should not have to do this. And though I know this is not going to be answered by Adobe techs, please take note that the burn "Does complete without error simply by uninstalling 2.0 and installing 1.5 and creating the same exact project with the same source files". Therefore there is something within 2.0 causing these errors.

Neil and Jeff, thanks for the response. I am running a 965P chipset board and my PATA is connected via the JMicron controller, so my drive do not appear this way. It only shows the General, AutoPlay, Hardware and Sharing tabs. This is something that is an issue with this chipset from what I am being told. However, if this were the case(and god no man, no roxio installed on the system), shouldn't it be interfering with 1.5 burning the project also? This is why I am soo set it being 2.0 since 1.5 burned the project with no issue whatsoever. It's only in 2.0 that it is stating this error with the +RW or with the -RW it is stating that the disc cannot be erased. I understand completely what you all are saying, but I honestly do not believe this is the issue since one version of Encore will work and the other will not, unless something has changed in Encore 2.0. I understand that it was pretty much re-written(I was on the beta myself), but at that point, I never needed to use RW's, so I did not test with them, otherwise I would have reported it.
I cannot even get into the drive for recording via the Device Manager, so changing this option is not a possiblity. It is unfortunate that from what I have seen only one mfg makes a SATA dvd burner, and from what I have read, it isn't that great of one.
I am just at this point lost and wondering if I should simply return the burner I purchased and buy an external USB 2.0 unit and see if it works with that. What do you all think?

Burning slide show on DVD.

Have P E 5. Wish to create and display slide shows on HDTV. Have created a show, but just learned that my version cannot burn the show to DVD. Am I missing something? Are there other options? Does the latest version 10 have this feature?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Fred

No version of PSE has this function, since Adobe wants you to buy Premiere Elements.
If you have a dvd burner you must have some kind of software you can use for this, even if it's only windows movie maker. You may also have gotten something like Roxio. Check to see what you have on your computer already. Then just output your slideshow as a wmv file and use whatever it is to create the video disc.
However, note that PSE does not create HD output.

Itunes authorization error when attempting to burn idvd file

The software updates should take care of it, but I got this help from the ilife team at Apple. If you encounter "your computer is not authorized to play this song" error messages when trying to burn an idvd movie, it may be because the file contains music you downloaded from itunes. This fixed everything: Go to the apple.com and go to the apple store. Go to "Account." Go to "Change 1-click settings." Make sure 1-click setting is turned on. Then go to the itunes store though the itunes page, and authorize 1-click ordering and ensure that all of your account information is correct in the itunes store.
That fixed all of my issues.
Good luck!

alright, i added new ram, so i am running 2 gigs now, tried again...failed. i get all the way to burn and a popup comes up saying burning finished errors found during the burning process, i click ok and the burning wheel is still turning and i need to force quit to get out of idvd. i might go crazy, so any help is appreciated.

I keep getting encoding errors when trying to burn a disc

I created an iphoto slideshow and then shared it to idvd.
every time that i try and burn to a dvd it goes for about 4 to 5 hours and then gives me " there was an encoding error"
I checked the encoding settings and made sure to set it to just high quality but same issue occurs
Any ideas?

Hi
A. try to split the process into two parts
• Encoding part
• Burning part
by - instead of press burn key - go up to File and down to
• Save as a DiskImage
• then burn this .img file with Disk Util tool
B. What did the Error Messages read ?
Very helpful to get this info - to be able to give any true help at all. There are zillions of things to guess.

Error burning Slide Show to DVD

In the completion stage of the DVD burn in PreE 4 I receive the following error message.- Device error - Sense Code (37304) -program memory area / rma update failure.
Can anyone tell me what the problem may be? Previously i have burned a slide show successfully. Now, after 2 trys for this slide show I receive this same error message.
Sanray19

This error can display two reasons
1. Bad quality disc solution : Use a new disck
2. DVD driver is incorrect or Power supply or disconnect the cable while encoding process is ongoing. : solution : Burn it again.
3. You are working long time in editng, this scenario memory would increased, so that application would not get enough memory generate encoded file. Solution : Restart and burn again.

David,
Below is an extract from a discussion I had with others on forums who had your current dilemma. Adobe's answer is generally to use Adobe Premiere Elements to burn the DVD; if you have it installed there is a additional option to burn to DVD on that menu. However, you may have other choices.
If you have a DVD burner, want to make a PSE 3 or 4 slide show that plays on a TV DVD player, and do not have Premiere Elements:
- create a WMV file using DVD NTSC or DVD PAL (according to your country TV standards) as the OUTPUT parameters
- then read the doc that came with the software that supports your DVD burner (might be Nero, Sonic, Roxio) looking for a function that will create a Video DVD (note that it must specifically be creating/authoring a VIDEO DVD intended for play on TV rather than just burning a data DVD). Once you find this function, use your WMV file from PSE 4 as the input and choose the software options that give you a video DVD.
Based on my experience and conversing with others on forums, this will give you a DVD that is significantly better quality than the Elements VCD (written to a CD) and but not quite as good as a program that does a slide show direct to DVD. Quality is a subjective judgement, so I am not saying this is the answer for everyone. However, my philosphy is generally to try the software I have first before purchasing additional software.
Notes: For Sonic, I used a MyDVD limited edition that came with my burner. For Nero, I communicated with someone who did it with Nero Vision Express. I don't have any specifics for Roxio.
Notes: Creation of the WMV will almost always take a long time - depending on the number of slides and the number and type of transitions, zooms, pans. Each photo must downsized in resolution, then each individual type of motion must be applied; these photos must then become frame per second video (a significantly different format translation). All this takes time and processor power.

Burning slide show to dvd

How do i burn my photo slide show i created in i-movie to a DVD? i tried doing from idvd but it wont play on my pc?

I recommend you study the iDVD tutorials from Apple.
If you feel like you know what you are doing and you have followed the tutorials, you may have a failing DVD drive. Call Apple for help getting the DVD drive repaired.
iDVD tutorials should be available in iDVD under Help menu.

Vibration, error when attempting to burn CD

I've had this 13" MacBook Pro for about a year. I've always had some trouble with burning CD's. Now it's gotten to the point where I am lucky if I can burn one without a failure (maybe 1 out of 3 success). I know I have to do something, but need this computer on a daily basis. There is a very loud vibrating noise, and then after some time, a failure. What it says about my disc burning is below. Before I take it to service, is there anything that I might do to correct the problem? I already tried setting the burn speed to 16x and 12x, helped once then not.

Hi
is there anything that I might do to correct the problem?
assuming that you're not working through a batch of bad discs & have tried another brand - then no, it sounds like a problem with the optical drive.

Error when I export my slide shows as a movie....

Hello everybody. Every time I try to export my slideshows, there is an error and it says the movie could not be saved, any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Julius,
-Open up iDVD if you have never opened it yet. Create a new project
now see if you can send the slideshow to iDVD
-Make sure you have a Movies folder in your Users home folder
-make sure you don't have Norton auto-protect running

Idvd encoding error

I purchased ilife'11 in order to get idvd. And I'm having encoding errors when trying to burn dvds. After trying just about everything suggested, I noticed that when idvd is opened I do not have use of the rop down menu. Don't seem to be supported..unable to update.

Hi
Few of us here are mind-readers
So if You only say that something is wrong - How do You thing we'll be able to guess what ?
There are zillions of things that can go awry.
• What material was used - Video Codecs, photo and audio file formats ?
• Edited in what video editing program - iMovie (version), FinalCut (version) or Adobe Premiere ?
• How was it imported into iDVD ?
• Was there any Error Messages - What did it/they say ?
• Where in the process did it go wrong
• Brand of DVD used
• Type of DVD used
• Burn Speed - set to ?
and much much more need to be told - to set us up on track on where the culprit is.

When attempting to burn a 1.2GB video using Magic DVD I get Burning Prep error. Not enough free disk space...... I have tried all I know to no avail. This have just started!!

When attempting to burn a 1.2 GB video using iDVD I get a "Burning Preparation Error.. Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaing assetts" This has only justed started to happen. I have used this programme many times before in the past. Can any one help as I have tried all I know?

Yes, 44GB is sufficient. I don't think space is the problem. I don't know about iMovie but iDVD can only use the boot drive for its scratch disk.
You might be getting that error due to some damage file in the project.
Try this basic troubleshooting fix :
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
Also run Disk Utility and verify the disk. If errors are indicated you will need to boot iknto your system install disk and repair the disk with Disk Utility (see the Utilities menu in the first window after the language selection window).
