IDVD freezes when I try to burn a disk image.

I have a MacBook Pro and am running 10.4.8. I used IMovie HD 6.03 to make a movie from digital photographs with audio. I used IDVD to create a DVD. When I burned the disk using IDVD 6.03, the DVD was pixelated. I read in a thread in the discussion on IDVD that if I create a disk image and then burn it with Toast at a lower spped, you get a better result. I tried several rimes to create a disk image, It encodes fine through the menu, when it gets to encoding the movie, the program freezes. I have closed all other programs and turned off the airport. I also have over 30 Gb of memory. Any sugestions on what is causing this problem or how to fix it. I also tried creating the disk on a 13" MacBook - it also froze.
Thanks,
Steve

Thanks.
I actually read a post after mine that showed a lnk that says the same thing. I will give it time. I gues the reason I was concerned is that when I burned the DVD to using IDVD it did not take very long. However, when I tried to burn a disk image, I left it sit for 2 hours and it was stuck on encoding the audio. I will try again and let it sit.

If iTunes Freezes when you try to Burn a CD, here's the FIX

I have read many posts about iTunes freezing when you try to burn a cd. This worked for me and it should work for you. It's a quite simple fix, but here goes:
If iTunes freezes when you:
1) Click on the Burning tab in your Preferances
OR
2) When you click on the Burn CD button
Steps To Recovery:
1) Completely Uninstall iTunes
2) Reinstall iTunes
3) If it still freezes either repair iTunes (using the file you used to install iTunes) or follow steps 1 and 2 again.
I hope this helps,

Why does iTunes freeze when I try to burn cds?

Hi, when I try to burn cds, iTunes freezes. I have a Sony CD-RW CRX175A and I have been assured by Sony that I'm running the latest firmware.
I was able to burn cds no problem two weeks ago. Then I removed an external hard drive and then plugged it back in later. To do this, I clicked an icon in the toolbar entitled "Safely Remove Hardware" and I'm wondering if I "removed" my cd burner or something. This is the only thing I can think of.
Regardless of what I wrote above, can anyone help me? I teach dance and not being able to burn cds in iTunes is making life difficult. THANK YOU!!!

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.
Check the Windows Update website to verify that you have the latest service packs and patches for your OS. Service packs affect the performance of USB and firewire CD / DVD drives.

Please help me if you can. Thankfully I can still burn cds no problem with Windows Media Player. For some reason iTunes just can't make it happen. I have tried reinstalling iTunes and I know I have the latest drivers for my cd burner. Any suggestions?
Thank you,

ITunes freezes when I try to burn a CD

When I try to burn a CD, iTunes freezes (with no error message) and I have to use Task Manager to close it. It also freezes when I click on the "Burn" tab in Properties and I have to use Task Manager to close it. I have tried to run CD Diagnostics (without a CD in it as instructed on other threads), but it locks up. Everything else on iTunes works, I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, and I have checked and updated all Windows updates.
Any help would be really appreciated!!

I need more information about your hardware configuration. Please run the iTunes Help menu -> Run CD diagnostics and post the output here.

I tune freezes when I try to burn

OK, like everyone else I have read through countless threads looking for a solution to my problem. My problem being that I can no longer burn play lists containing both purchased and imported music. I can burn just purchased or just imported, but not together. So this leaves me to believe that this is an iTunes issue. (It all started back when 4.9 was out.) Since then I have removed it, repaired, upgraded it, and everything else I could think of under the sun. I was hoping when iTunes 6 came out it would solve the problem, but it didn't. I even thought to myself hey maybe it is my computer so I took the songs I wanted to burn and put them on multiple machines (3 others) and try to burn the with iTunes. No luck same thing happened, thought hey maybe it is the songs. Nope they couldn't do it with their own songs either. So like I said this has to be an iTunes software issue. Now I am sure their are more people out their with the same problem and they have called apple and sent their diagnostics in, but no one has come up with any answers. I have searched and searched, but their are no answers out their. You would have figured by now someone would be like hey I have found a solution. Oh well all I am asking in this semi-rant is for an answer to the problem why iTunes freezes when trying to burn playlists containing purchased and imported music? Thanks for your time.

ITunes freezes when I try to burn imported & purchased songs on the same CD

When I make a playlist that contains a mixture of old MP3 files, songs I've downloaded from my CD collection, & songs purchased from iTunes, iTunes freezes up as soon as I try to burn a CD. It says "checking playlist", and just before the bar gets all the way across, it just stops and nothing happens.

Authentication error when I try to make encrypted disk image

I usually make an ecrypted disk image when I back up my financial files on my Powerbook g4 or flashdrive. Just recently I get a "cannot make" "files" - "authentication error". I've tried the single user mode and removed files as per the discussion boards to no avail. I've tried also to reset my password from the OSX disk. Any suggestions. Thanks

IDVD freezes when I try to start a new project.

I've done everything I can think of but everytime I try to open a new project or open an existing one the application freezes. This is my first time opening iDVD.

1. Do all the other apps work exactly as expected (except iDvd)?
2. How much available Hard Drive space do you have on the boot volume?
3. Is it at least 25GB's?
4. I need to know if your laptop feels warm to the touch or if the fan has kicked in recently. If so, then you need to allow your laptop to cool for 20-30 minutes. Power it down and let it set for a half hour and try again.
5. What approaches have you already tried?
6. Did you try to reinstall iDvd yet?
7. Have you run apple's software updater?
8. Do you have any ext. FW or USB devices connected?
9. Do you have any Non-standard QT plugins on this laptop (yes/no)?
10. Have you tried switching to a separate user account to see if iDvd will launch on the new account?

Idvd terminates when i try to burn dvd

Without any prompts or any warnings idivd terminates a few seconds after i press the burn button.
The idvd preview pane goes black and thats it!!!
My original video is 16:9 from a Sony DVD camera. I ripped the VIDEO_TS using CINEMATIZE. I then imported the resulting quicktime movie to imovie. After setting chapter markers I used the create idvd project button. Could it be that idvd does not support either the aspect ratio or the video format?
Any ideas???? please???

I then imported the resulting quicktime movie to imovie.
What is the "resulting" QuickTime codec? .mp4 should work in iDVD.

Automator hangs when i try to mount a disk image

any ideas why this happens? theres nothing wrong with the image

i figured it out.
it works if you pick these three options
1) get specific finder items
2) get selected finder items
3) mount disk image
for some reason i was just trying to use steps 1 and 3 without step 2 in the middle, and it would hang up then..... odd. doesnt seem very intuitive to need that step two.
too bad i cant give myself a star hope this helps someone...
