i don't understand why i cant just burn it and why i have to save it first
can someone please help?

Problem found !
Karls answer's helped me to findout the issue.
Nevertheless, this wasn't the bug.
When playing the movie in iMovie HD, sound rendering is not correct. When you burn your DVD, sound track is calculated to mix every sound tracks according to each sound volume curve defined in iMovie.
If you see a dot at the beginning of a sound track this mean that the DVD sound rendering will be incorrect.
Clean the and make sure that, when you select a sound object, you can change its volume by adjusting it, not manually, but using the general volume cursor. If not, you have a problem. Remake a perfect flat volume curve before adjusting it again.

  • IDVD Problem with burning a DVD

    Whenever I try to burn a DVD using iDVD, I get this message "Multiplexer Error:  There was an error during building.  This disc is still untouched and may be reused later."  I've tried this with 3 different DVDs and keep getting this problem.  Can someone help? Thanks!

    Here you go:
    1) Delete all old iDVD projects that you couldn't burn under the same name;
    2) Reboot your PC;
    3) Quit all open applications (check if any is open at "Force Quit");
    4) Go to: Users/Library/Caches and delete folder com.apple.idvd
    5) Go to: Users/Library/Preference and delete file com.apple.idvd.lists
    6) Insert a blank DVD;
    7) Go to "Applications" and open iDVD (don't open it from any previous iDVD project);
    8) Select " Create new project" and prepare your project;
    9) Go to iDVD Preferences / Advance / Burning Speed: and select 4x ;
    10) Go to menu "Advance" and deselect "Encode in Background";
    11)  At the same above menu, click "Delete encoded projects" and select OK (ignore alert messages);
    12) Select "Burn" and... no more problems

  • Dynamic Link (Adobe Premiere Pro to Encore) issues with burning a DVD from the project file

    Hello,
    I am running Adobe Suite CS 5.1 on my Mac:
    2.8 GHz Quad Core
    6GB Memory
    I've been having issues with a few projects; using Dynamic Link, directly from my project in Premier, to send them to Encore:
    When attempting to burn a DVD, Encore will 'hang up' and not burn; I rarely burn to DVD, usually I'm always encoding for web, and just always use the 'default settings' in Encore.
    A few things to note:
    *In my project I'm using MOV files, from a Canon 7D, and MP4 files, from a Sony EX-1. 
    *I am working off of 3 separate hard drives; very large projects with over 5TBs of media files.
    *I noticed that after inserting a DVD, it caused one of my hard drives to eject; this happened once, as far as I know.
    *This only happens when I use Dynamic Link to send to Encore, via my Premiere Pro project file.
    *My Project settings are always: XDCam HD-1080p/24p
    Please help.
    Thanks

    So you must downrez at some point in the workflow. Some users have problems and/or think they get better quality out of direct PR/AME exports than using DL for this purpose.
    I would test the workflow by creating three short test sequences - one with a clip from one camera, a second from the other, and a third with both in a sequence using the same settings you are using in your edit. I would use the "drag a clip" to the new item method for making each of the first two sequences. By short I mean 30 seconds to 2 minutes with a mixture of still and action.
    Export using whatever method you pick of those recommended, but use CBR 8 instead of VBR etc. Bring the resulting files into Encore. Yes, look at the files exported on the computer, and look at Encore preview, etc, but also burn to a disk and watch on multiple TVs. There are lots of issues in best quality.

  • Issue with burning and importing music

    my MBpro is excessively "picky" about burning, or importing music from or to a cdr.
    System details
    MBPro 15in
    2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    2GB RAM
    current OS: OS X 10.6.8
    here is summary of issue.
    Ive been transferring all my CDs to my HD. Sometimes, i will insert a CD (all CDs mentioned within are purchased) and each time is a guessing game as to if it will recognize or read it and import the CD. Sometimes ive had to re-insert the same cd 3-4 times before it will recognize/read it and import it. Condition of disc i.e. scratches etc. doesnt matter (within logical reason, i dont try to insert a CD that is obviously unreadable). could be brand new, or several years old in like new condition.
    i have also had this issue with a blank CDR and trying to burn music from my iTunes to them, also playback of a CDR that i had created using this laptop. Ive purchased and thrown away probably 2-300 brand new blank cdr's because it wont recognize them.  I do remember not having an issue of creating cds when i used the "black" style CDR's. Which i have yet to try out, since this issue arose. I dont want to spend the money on the black style cdr's and it be a waste. 
    I realize that its an older MBPro, and would understand if the super drive unit, itself is worn out, and just needs replaced. anyways, any help is appreciated
    thank you.

  • Issues with burning playlists with itunes 11.1.3

    When I try to burn a playlist to a disc, itunes freezes. I am using an imac running on Mavericks with two user accounts. When I try to burn a playlist with the other user account it just works. So seems to be an user specific issue. Any suggestions?
    Rgds, Bernard

    You're welcome
    If you're happy with iTunes 11 then I'd probably stay with that.  The last two versions of iTunes 12 (12.1.0 and 12.1.1) seem to suffer from multiple issues on 64-bit Windows systems (not specific to Windows 7), and even though most of these are resolvable I'm not sure its worth the effort to do so if your earlier version is working for you.  I would wait for 12.2 (or whatever the next major release is) and even then check back here to see what reports there are of full resolutions to the issues in 12.1.
    Having said that, I'm running 12.1.1 without problems on four systems (three in daily use) - two Win 7 / 64-bit, one Win 7 / 32-bit, and one Win 8/1 / 64-bit.

  • IDVD-problems with burning a DVD

    I cannot burn a DVD, i get a message
    There seems to be too much motion menu content in your project. Correct this problem before you continue burning this project.
    But i am not sure how to fix it.
    Please help.
    And also if i want for a PC user to be able to play my DVD-do i import a movie in iMovie format or in QuickTime format?
    Thank you

    Hi Natasha:
    Welcome to discussions!
    This is how to eliviate the Motion Menu Problems:
    iDVD 6: Exceeding motion menu duration prevents burning
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303375
    You should be able to play the DVD on a PC when you are done in either format. The only way it wouldn't work would be if the PC didn't play the type of DVD media you used to burn your movie. (ie.,DVD+/-R)

  • IMovie to iDVD issue with chapter markers...

    what are the rules for placing chapter markers in iMovie? Tried burning a movie in iDVD yesterday only to get a "track initialization" error. i was told it was probably due to where and how my chapter markers were placed in iMovie. went back to the original iMovie file, removed all the chapter markers and, what do you know, it burned in iDVD without a hitch. is there a secret to chapter markers? are there spots they can or cannot go? thanks, in advance, for info.

    Hi Jonesing:
    These I can remember-there may be more.
    Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the start or end of the timeline. Make sure no chapter markers are within a transition. Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the end of a transition.

    If you're burning it as an expanded image then it's probably as Malcolm suggested. The alternative is just to burn it as a data file. Then if it's a 535MB .dmg file it will fit easily onto a 700MB CD. The decompressing will only take place as and when you need it to.

  • Read This First If You Are Having a BASIC Issue with Importing and Burning!

    Most people who are new to iTunes and are not computer saavy find that their issues with burning and more typically importing are due to their security software "fighting iTunes". In most cases this is not apparent with an error message but just causes very slow sluggish performance and looks on importing as if the songs never import. Therefore an initial place to check is to disable your security system (make sure you are not connected to the internet and remember to enable upon completion!)and try to import. In many many cases users find that this corrects their problem. I have found that this is the issue 80% of the time when helping people with import issues from CD's. For some reason this is a much more prevalent issue with iTunes 6.0 than previous versions. Try it - You may like it.

  • DVD Playback Issues with Dual Layer media

    I have been using DVDSP for years now, and have rarely had any issues with burning my final projects to DVD. Any playback issues have usually been issues with players and +or-R media.
    I have recently upgraded to a MacPro, and have been really stoked about being able to burn to Dual Layer media. My previous G5 didn't have a DL burner.
    I have a large project that fills most the disk, and everything seems great in the software, and when playing the media files on the computer. But when I burn to disk, I have huge issues with playback on different DVD players, computers, etc. I have stuttering with menu's, freezing, and stuttering with playback of video.
    I read that the issue could be because of the speed I'm burning at in DVDSP, so I saved as a disk image, and used disk utility to burn at a 4x speed. This seemed to help, but when I got to the end of the movie I had huge issues with stuttering/playback quality. So I burned another copy from the same disk image, and it wouldn't even play in my DVD player.
    When I open the Video_TS folder from the DVDSP Build, and play right off my hard drive in the DVD software player, I don't have any of these issues.
    So I'm guessing my problem is either my DVD media I'm using, or the burners on this new computer. I've burned DVD's on both burners (yes I have 2) and I still have the same problems.
    I am using Memorex DVD+R DL and they are 8x.
    Can anyone offer me some advice here. I really wish I could just hit burn and have a disk work. DL media isn't all that cheap and I don't know how many coasters I can make and keep my sanity.

    I used compressor and I used the DVD: Best Quality 90 Minutes setting. The bit rate is avg 6.2 and maximum 7.7. And yes I used ac3 audio.
    When you say lowest speeds possible... shouldn't a burner that says it burns at a speed work at that speed? I'm cool with burning at a lower speed to get this thing to work, but why have a burner that burns DVD DL at 8x speed, when it doesn't work? Shouldn't it work? Why is it that it won't work?
    If I get Verbatim DVD+R DL, can I burn at 8x speed with those?
    When I burn in disk utility I used the "varify burned data" and everything checks out ok. So why do I have this issue. Just curious.

  • Still having issues with iDVD 5  not burning playlist

    I have tried many things as suggested before,including sending to Garageband,
    making a new playlist etc. The slideshow always plays fine in iDVD, but when you burn it to DVD it only plays one song and stops. I have a family project that I would like to burn and make copies of. Also now having input/output error when trying to copy DVD's. Please help, much time wasted...

    You're in the iDVD 6 Discussion group... You should post in the iDVD 5 Discussion group.
    However:
    Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/18.html
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
    There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
    Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93006
    I recommend a disk image burned to Verbatim DVD-R at 4X or slower using Toast or Disk Utility.
    David Pogue also recommends Verbatim on page 356 of his latest book:
    iMovie HD & iDVD 6: The Missing Manual
    Quoting David: "Cheaper brands don't use the same amount of organic dyes and are more likely to suffer premature deaths."

  • IDVD (possibly iLife) issues with Snow Leopard

    So I've been trying to create a wedding dvd from a video that I recorded for them. I've done this before (on Leopard) and everything worked fine. Since upgrading to Snow Leopard (including a fresh install) this doesn't seem to work.
    Basically iDVD wouldn't launch completely. It would let me select 'create a new project' and then load the themes but the project screen wouldn't open. When I'd go to the file menu and open/close etc the main screen would pop up asking me to cancel, save or don't save the current project. Regardless of which option I chose, the program would freeze and I would have to force quit.
    This was on top of issues with iMovie in which I couldn't select the transitions options without iMovie crashing.
    Now having searched the internet high and low for solutions, it seems quite a lot of people are having issues with this and I think I know why. Those people having issues seem to be the ones who have iLife on their Tiger setup cd's that came with their macbook/desktop.
    Now just so you know I have done all the selected solutions such as removing the preference file from library, repairing disk permissions, reinstalling iLife, reinstalling iDVD without the rest of the bundled software. I even went to the extremes of formatting my hard drive and installing Snow Leopard from scratch and this didn't work. So I thought I'd try upgrading to Snow Leopard from Leopard, again the same issue arose.
    It got to the stage where I actually ended up going back to Tiger (10.4) and finishing the dvd and burning it. Now with iDVD and iMovie working fine I decided to upgrade back to Snow Leopard, and low and behold, iDVD isn't working.
    I really hope Apple are aware of the issue because it seems to be an problem with people installing the bundled software which came with their macbook/desktop on a version of Leopard/Snow Leopard and it not working.
    I'm going to take my macbook into the store soon/and or call Apple Care and request a new install disk of iLife to try and eliminate the issues because when I'm creating a movie, I don't expect to have to roll back to 2 previous OSX version's before my software works.
    If anyone has any suggestions, please fire them my way.

    While 7.0.4 may work fine with your version of 10.6.2, it doesn't work for others. You'll notice quite a few posts in this section of users with the same error.
    The only issue I can assume, as mentioned in the original post, is users who are installing iLife from the original installation CD's provided when I bought my Macbook (which came preinstalled with Tiger). The iLife software comes bundled on two cd's, which I and other users install from. Hence it's the only thing the users who are installing and having issues with have in common.
    I could understand if it was only me having issues and if these issues resolved themselves from a fresh, clean install after a reformat, but that's not the case.
    I'll call Apple Care tomorrow and see what they think.

  • Idvd can't burn .mov with error message

    Hi guys,
    I just finished a 57 min. project with Final Cut Express4 containing 8 sequences. I export them separately.  I burned them with idvd : File>Export>Quick Time Movie (self contained uncheck), I include Audio & Video as usual and save them in the Movie Folder as .mov; everything goes fine and I can watch them both in computers and TVs. But when I export the entire project with chapter markers (exactly the same way I did for the above), the result is different, and the idvd refuse to burn it, an error message says ”unsupported file type: broken reference movie”.   Those exported in separate sequences are shown as .mov with a picture icon in my Movie Folder while the other 2 exported with chapter markers are also shown with .mov but with a QuickTime Movie icon.  Although these with Quick Time Movie icon are not accepted by the idvd, I still can burn them through the dvdproj file, but the product can be played with computers only.
    I know I must have done something wrong but I don’t know what it’s.  Some one is kind enough to help please.
    Thank you.

    First of all, thank you folks for the responds.  I check back as suggested and found the following: -
    Hi Al
    All the Chapters Markers are more than 2 seconds apart and are more than 2 seconds from start points; all sequences are well butted without any gap in between.  However there are markers marked a few frames after the sequences started, which means the previous sequence ended a few frames before the Chapter Markers.  If this is overlap, what should I do from here?  Please walk me through.  Thank you again.  puisum
    Hi MartinR
    I am sure you read my response to Alchroma. You both having valuable points.  Now, this is a very good question “if I nest the sequences”. To be honest with you, I am not 100% sure what I did (because this project have been sitting in my computer for 9 months) I but I think I start the entire project with only one sequence at the beginning and I use copy & paste to make the 8 sequences after I put in the chapter makers.  At this point, I have found some problems on the Chapter Markers and I am sure Alchroma doesn’t mind to walk me through then I will take it from there.  Please don’t give up on me yet.  Thank you in anticipation.  puisum

  • Issues with DVD quality  using iDVD

    Dear All,
    I badly need advice on a very frustrating problem: I'm having major issues with the quality of the DVDs burnt on my iMac when using iDVD.
    Here below are the steps that I follow
    I upload the HDV 1080i 60 footage to FCE 4 using the apple Intermediate codec.
    Once the editing is done, I export to QT (self-contained)
    I use the QT in iDVD and then burn it
    The result is sub-par compare to any street DVDs, the motion is sometimes slightly jerky.
    What do I do wrong? Coming from HDV footage, I would expect a cisp and clear result in standard definition DVD.
    I am wondering if this has to do with the capability of my equipment or a poor use of both softwares.
    Thank you in advance for the advices
    produced using

    After rendered everything did the video resolution and quality look good in FCE when you set your canvas view size to 100%?
    If the answer to the first question is yes, then the export settings are the problem. Please list all the settings used for your QT export.
