  • Help!! idvd freezing when rendering audio

    PLEASE..I need help!! I make a movie for my students at the end of the school year. I put together a movie in imovie and then sent it to idvd. When I finished with the idvd part and went to burn it, my idvd would stop responding after about an hour when it came to the final part when rendering the audio. I find I have to force quit the program and start over. I've tried it 4 times and it happens every time in the same spot. I never had this happen before. Thanks for any help you can give me!!

    Like I said!
    This question is frequently asked!
    iDVD is probably not 'hanging'. Disregard any messages that iDVD is not responding. It is. Do not force quit.
    Encoding audio is the slowest part of rendering, and can take many hours. Great patience, even an intermittent alternative hobby, is called for.
    Make sure no other application is running, make sure you have not set the hard disk to go to sleep and that the screen saver will not come on. Leave it overnight, or have a 36 hole game of golf.
    Sooner or later iDVD will finish!

  • Idvd08 freezes when rendering chapters

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro with Leopard installed and IDVD 08. I have made a long movie in IMovie which has a number of chapters. I created the DVD in iDVD 08 a few weeks before Chrstmas, but when I went to burn the DVD, it kept freezing after a while whilst rendering chapter menus.
    I understand this is a known issue between iDVD08 and the Leopard operating system. Does anyone know if this issue has now been resolved or, if not, what is the ETA for a fix?
    Many thanks
    Joe McCrea

    Hello All,
    I've been struggling all week-end on a project my son called me in for rescue. I've experienced too that total freeze of my brand new MBP (15"). To make things short: The problem is not solved yet, but I've isolated several facts.
    First, it's started with a problem my son had with his school project on a PB-G4 and iDVD fron 08'. It choked because we had imported some 30fps elements into a 25fps project. It choked on muxing those heterogenous elements, even tough "properly" imported by iDVD.
    Second. I copied his project to my MBP to benefit from the processing speed increase. On that same project, I didn't reached the point to generating the movie and got the freeze when creating the assets.
    I spare you all the events in between. But after clearing that 30fps vs 25fps conflict by regenerating all components in 25fps natively, I identified the exact moment of the crash.
    That project uses the Revolution theme from Theme 7.0. I've successfully generated an image file using another Theme like the Concrete Theme from www.dvdthemepak.com
    The freeze appears when iDVD comes on generating the first "Scene selection" menu screen from the project. It's kind of odd as this project has 8 chapters requiring an additional scene selection menu. I see the 2nd scene selection menu being processed Ok, and the Top menu too. All menus use the same additional content for the one drop zone the Revolution theme has.
    That "freezing" is very odd to me. I'm a unix geek. A system never freezes under Unix. At most, one process can go wild and hog all CPU and never relinquish a cycle before being terminated by kernel. In the case of MacOSX, the freeze is only apparent: the window manager process gets hosed. It's very probable that you can ssh to it from another unix system and shut it down being root. In this freeze. The dual cores of the Intel chips gives more chances accessing the shell level before the machine is brought to a stand still. Here: no CPU overheating. Just a plain solid freeze. I've not tracked any kernel event letting me know of a kernel issue. This is plain odd to me. I'm learning new stuff here.
    Back to the issue. I was even fearing at one moment it was disliking the accentuated characters we've used in the menu texts. I eliminated this option too be removing all accents from the vowels.
    Needless to say that this Project compiled without a glitch on the PowerBook. At least, we were able to finish that assignment.
    Now, my MBP is still not fixed. Gotta call AppleCare for that.
    Some additional clues: I got this MBP with iLife loaded in. It was missing the Old Themes I like, plus www.dvdthemepak.com themes. iDVD is smart and proposes you to load those Old Themes from the MacOSX Install disk 2 .... but this fails !!!! As I'm a bit smart I gave a try popping in the iLife 08' DVD and it allowed me to install the missing Old Themes. Now something went wrong because iDVD 7 doesn't behave like iDVD 6 and splits the lastest Themes away from the oldest and custom Themes by copying them to the user's Library folder. It keeps under the /Library only the latests themes.
    I manually copied from another Mac the www.dvdthemepak.com themes and this was my mistake. iDVD went totally haywire not even recognising its installed themes, displaying a "Broken Theme" image in a hugly kiddy art crayon chalked letters. Anyways: stand still.
    I decided to trash both Themes directory (user and system), pop-in the iLife DVD and reinstall iDVD. I was NOT given the choice to re-install iDVD ! So, I trashed iDVD app and tried again installing iDVD through the iLife DVD. Well, not much luck: The installer doesn't let me install iDVD but only the additional old themes. I went on with this option. "Miracle!" iDVD app was installed, with the additional themes ... but NOT the main themes (5, 6 and 7) Arrrrgh ! I'm choking.
    So, I copied from another Mac with iLife 08' the 5, 6 and 7 Theme. And it worked.
    Well, not that god as now iDVD freezes with the Revolution 7 theme. It may not be at all linked to all the problems I got updating iDVD from the default instal of a new MBP. At least, by reading this, you people are aware that you can only get the Old Themes from an Web install, or the iLife DVD. But NOT from the supplied DVDs.
    I would need to try compiling this project with another Theme from the Theme gallery. That would identify that Themes 7 as being part of the problem (as www.dvdthemepak.com are operational).
    Also, I'm eager to learn of a SAFE procedure to reinstall iDVD.
    Last: I've not been able to do a "repair permissions" yet on this machine as I don't have a Leopard DVD. The Install disks that come with the MBP are not bootable. There is a different procedure that requires a specific set of actions in "to reinstall Leopard" in order to boot on those DVD. I'm scared this new procedure really reinstall Leopard, which will be a catastrophe of biblical proportions to me!
    Very last. I still need to dig in the archived system logs to see if iDVD reported something before the freeze.
    Hoping this help. I promise I'll post updates here when available.

  • 17 Macbook Pro, freezing while rendering video in FCP

    Hi I have a late 2008 Model MacBook Pro 17.  My Macbook keeps freezing during rendering in Final Cut Pro 7.  Its been doing this for 3 weeks or so.  I originally thought a SSD was the way to go, but I think I may really need a new processor.  Im a little confused on what I should buy and what fits my MacBook Pro. What I want is to fix the rendering freezing and shorten the rendering time.  I'd appreciate any advice or ideas.  Is my Macbook compatible to a Intel i7 or i5?  Buying a new Macbook Pro is not an option at this point.  Thank you in advance.
    Here are the specs on my laptop:
    MacBookPro4,1
    2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    8 GB RAM
    500gb HDD Momentus 7200 SATA 3Gb/s
    GeForce 8600M GT

    Hi instantclassic99,
    I do have this article of key combinations on startup:
    Startup key combinations for Intel-based Macs
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1533
    I would try this with a wired Apple keyboard if possible.  Specifically, I'd try:

    Start up in Startup Manager, where you can select an OS X volume or network volume to start from. 
    Cheers!

  • IDVD freezes during buring

    More that 50% of the time my iDVD freezes during the burning process ruining a blank DVD. Then in freezes out my computer. I have taken it to the Apple store and they run some diagnostics on it get it to work in the store and when I come home the problem starts up again.
    Help Please!

    Could be that your burner is overheating or you don't have enough free disk space to burn a disk. You need at least 5GB to burn. If the burner is overheating, you might try resting the computer for 3-4 hours before attempting a burn. Or maybe running a DVD drive cleaner through it. Might be a simple maintenance issue with the burner or hard drive.
    I suppose that you have tried the oft recommended closing down of iDVD and trashing the com.apple.iDVD file located in user/library/preferences, and repairng disk permissions through the disk utility app.
    What media are you using? Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R are recommended.
    Try burning from a disk image using the disk utility app, at a speed of 4x or lower.
    I have no other suggestions beyond recreating the project and/or burning with different media at a slower speed.

  • FCP 5.0.4 freezes when rendering or converting to quicktime on my macbookpr

    FCP 5.0.4 freezes when rendering or converting to quicktime on my intel macbookpro. It really is very bothersome because I can't complete projects without rendering. I recently was just told that we should not download any updates at all for any appliction unless it is absolutely neccessary. Is there any truth to this. Would I be better off doing a complete erase and install to get rid of all updates that I have installed. My mac book is a 2.4 ghz with 2 gigs of ram, 200 gb hd, and 512 of vram. Help! My dead line is approaching.

    What you've heard about Academic versions is correct. They are not upgradable.
    If you want to run a version of FCP that is compatible, you have two options.
    1. purchase a used PPC computer (G4/G5) and run your version of FCP 5 on it.
    or
    2. purchase a version of FCP designed to work on intel processors (v5.1 or higher).
    #2 can be satisfied by purchasing a used version of 5.1 (full retail install) on ebay. Alternatively, if you qualify for academic pricing, FCS3 can be had for around $900 rather than the $1300 for the retail version.
    On another subject, the MacBook is hardly the ideal editing platform no matter what version of FCP you are running ...

  • DL Disks - iDVD Freeze

    I am a graphic designer (print), but VERY new to doing anything in video. The iMovie HD project I (personal family video) is 1:10min. in size. When I try to burn a DVD in iDVD, I am prompted for a DL disk - file is too big for SL. I have tried burning this with a DVD+R DL and iDVD ejects the disk with the progress bar only half-completed (in the final "burn" phase, all other steps went fine), but also said the DVD was "finished" in the same dialog box. At this point iDVD freezes and I do a Force Quit.
    The DVD plays on the G5 when re-inserted into the Superdrive. But it does not play on any of the 3 DVD players I have - one of which is a brand new Hitachi.
    I am using the latest updates to iMovie HD and iDVD v5. But I am tempted to try and open this project on a Macbook Pro running Leopard and iMovie/iDVD v7 to see if that makes a difference.
    Is there something else I might be doing wrong that's obvious to more experienced video users?
    Many thanks!

    there's something wrong.. iDVD accepts, as Kirk allready told you, 120min max. on a SL DVD-r.. I assume, you incidently try to burn a dataDVD of your project, no videoDVD...
    1) in iMHD - what does the timeline under the huge preview window tells you about the project length?
    2) how to you 'transfer' from iMHD to iDVD? .. I get the best results, by a simple Finder operation, dragging'n dropping the corresponding iMHD-project-file into an open iDVD project..

  • IDVD freezes, heats my computer up, and the sceen turns black

    I try to make a little half and hour movie on iDVD. When i'm almost complete and about to add chapters to it then my Macbook pro tends to heat up as it makes some nosie, freezes the computer momentarily until the screen appears all black. I assumed that it would go away after a minute or two but I was wrong. I have to manually restart my laptop by holding down the power button. I've attempted to make a dvd about seven times already and the end rest is what i described above.
    I am already very frustrated and feel as if i want to throw my laptop out my window...   

    I replaced my original video card about a month ago with a Radeon 9600 pro. It worked great! Burned many a DVD's. Two nights ago I started to burn more video through iDVD '08. After about 15 to 20 sec.'s of rendering it simply locked my computer up. My screen turned black several times too along with locking up. Started eliminating one thing at a time. Installed my old video card and fixed problem! I suspect a bad video card!

  • Idvd freezing before it starts encoding audio

    Hi everyone, i was wondering if someone could help me with a problem i'm having with idvd. Everytime (6 times so far) my dvd is encoding the video it will suddenly freeze just before it starts audio encoding. What does this mean and is there any way to prevent it?

  • MacBook Pro Freezes while rendering menu's

    I Got a new MacBook Pro 2.2Ghz (Nov 2), with plenty of hard drive space left (80G), decided to create an iMovie which was great no problems here, then decided wanted to burn to DVD. Created a DVD using the Wedding 07 theme and then went to try and create the disc image.
    The Mac freezes after about a 1/3rd of the way through while trying to render the menus, causing me to do a hard reboot. I read several topics in here, trying to fix it:
    Deleting the com.apple.plist file
    resetting the permissions,
    using an older theme (got further but still froze after about 2/3rdss of rendering menu's).
    Setting the chapter buttons to still's rather than moving images
    All to no avail still cant get it to work.
    I created another short iMovie, with no chapters, just one menu, put some pics in, music etc and that worked. This leaves me to believe the problem lies in having the chapters in the DVD.
    I know quite a few of you have experienced this, has anyone found a way of getting around it or is it we have to wait until an update is released from Apple?

    I've been having the same problem with my macbook pro since november. I've been watching these forums to see if anyone has figured out the problem but I can wait any longer so I called apple. I've spent at least 8 hours on 5 different phone calls with 5 different people over the last two weeks. My computer still is not fixed. And from the sounds of the people I've talked to, they have no idea that there is even a problem with some of the macbook pros. I have done everything that they can think of including completely erasing and reinstalling my operating system and testing idvd with a file sent to me from apple. I was able to narrow down my problem to having videos in the drop zones of submenus. I can burn a dvd with as many submenus as I want as long as there are pictures in the drop zones. It burns fine with a picture in the drop zone. I can even burn a dvd with video in one menu drop zone and pictures in the rest. It doesn't matter which menu the video is in, as long as there is only one menu drop zone with video the dvd will burn. Is anyone else getting the same result?

  • Freeze Frame Rendering Problem

    I have a problem with the rendering of freeze frames that are part of a one-hour video I created in Final Cut Express 4 when burning the video using iDVD.
    I'm exporting the video from FCE to a non-self contained Quicktime movie which I then drop into my iDVD template. One or two of the freeze frames (5 10-second freeze frames and 5 5-second freeze-frames) end up with a vibrating horizontal motion.
    This does not occur when I play the video file in Quicktime -- the freeze frame is solid as a rock. I've burned the DVD using all three "quality" settings in the iDVD project settings, from "best performance" to "professional" quality. Every burn ends up with a vibrating freeze frame when played from the DVD.
    All the rest of the video is beautiful. I'm not sure if this is a rendering problem or some other setting issue in iDVD. All help or suggestions appreciated.
    Mike

    IMHO, the best thing you can do is keyframe some motion on your freeze frames. In all likelihood, you are dealing with an interlace issue. A TV screen use an interlaced signal where one line is drawn quickly followed be the second. In motion video, you will never notice interlacing. On a freeze frame however, you will certainly be able to see it. If you add some motion (Ken Burns effect), you can minimize this. You could try keeping the freeze frame... frozen and use a de-interlace filter.

  • IDVD Freezes Computer

    I'm using iDVD '08 that came preinstalled with my MacBook Pro, which I just got in December. It has all of the current updates. It has 73 GB of free disk space on the hard drive and no other applications running.
    When I try to burn to DVD or even write to a disk image, iDVD starts processing menus and stuff and then at some point freezes my entire system to where I have to hold in the power button and reboot. I have tried recreating the project manually, using the Magic DVD option to create the project, etc... The encoding is set to Best Quality and all of the videos are already encoded before I try to start burning (or writing to an .img). The project is large and it is almost big enough to fill up a Double Layer DVD, but there is still free space so that isn't the issue. I thought that perhaps it was so large it just needed time so when it locked up one time I just went to bed. When I woke up the next morning, it was still locked up.
    I have tried probably about 15 times in various ways (burn to disk, create image, create manual project, different encoding, etc...) with the same results.

    Sorry for being lazy. I searched the forums and found posts that the 7.0 themes are broken. It's rendering the menus now with a 6.0 theme, so hopefully it won't hang this time. I guess I'll know in about an hour.

  • IDVD freezes, unusable

    I have created a slideshow video with music in Aperture 3.1.1. I have exported it to iTunes (Movies), MobileMe Gallery, AppleTV.
    I am trying to make a playable dvd using iDVD, using Magic DVD. I can import from iTune Movies, the Magic DVD project is created. I click Burn, insert a bland DVD, the process starts and then computer freezes "Rendering assests" (something like that).
    Requires a hard Re-start. I have repaired permissions and trashed iDVD plist and restarted.
    But I must be crazy because the iDVD burn attempt always fails at that same point.

    14 GB - this is the drive that contains your operating system that boots your computer, right?
    That may very well NOT be enough for the space iDVD uses as scratch space during encoding.

  • 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.

  • New Mac Pro (late 2013) crashes / freezes while rendering or editing in Premiere Pro CC

    We recently purchased a new Mac Pro desktop (Late 2013, 16GB memory, D700 Graphic Card, 2.7 GHz -12 Core, OSX 10.9.3) and we are running Adobe CC on it. When using Premiere Pro CC (7.2.2) I am having major issues while rendering and editing. About 50% of the time when I try to render it starts off real fast then just freezes. This happens in Premiere and Media Encoder. Sometimes I can just Force Quit Premiere or Media Encoder and other times I have to do a hard restart on the entire computer because the entire computer freezes. The computer will also occasionally freeze whenever doing simple editing or stacking layers. The  computer will also just decide to suddenly stop and restart when editing or doing simple tasks like browsing the web. Additionally there has been several times if the render does finish, the final video will have digital glitches throughout the video. I have to redo the render once or twice and it will finally be fine. This all is happening several times a day. This never happened on our previous Mac Pro, but we were not running Mavericks. I used Migration Assistant to transfer from old computer to new computer. So I don't know if this is an a problem with the actual Mac Pro, Mavericks, graphic card or Adobe? But right now I am very frustrated as you can imaging spending all this money for a computer that has been giving us more issues than our previous computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:

If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator.

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.
