IDVD quitting when trying to burn

anyone else having this problem after installing 10.5 ??
I had the blue screen problem, two trips to the "genius" bar and still having problems.

Thanks for responding so quickly and happy newyear.
My powersettings are already set to never save energi when on external power.
And my Mac is up-to-date. Like I said, I have read other threads where you also give advice, but it ends with no solution and clue if the bug has been fixed or if it's gonna be.
Have also tried to wait for my video to be encoded before starting the whole burn process and still same problem. It just freezes after it has made the part 1(the menu part) of 2 and then it goes cold.
Have to say that my video is about 100 min long but that should not be the problem. Have plenty of space on my HD.
Regards,
B-Boy

Studio Pro "Unexpectedly Quits" when trying to BURN DVD...

How can I burn a DVD if it keeps kicking me to the curb every time I try? I used DISKWARRIOR to repair the hard drives, but that didn't do anything to solve my problem. I can't really think of anything else to do.
Thank you, smart people, for your time and your expertise.

Hi
You can try * Creating Disc Image in DVDSP * and burning it with Disk Utility or Toast, selecting then a slower burning speed. DVDSP will try to burn using the max speed of your burner and sometimes that results in errors.
Hope that helps !

IDVD quits when previewing Project

iDVD quits when trying to preview the Project when using uncompressed movie which was exported with uncompressed Quicktime 4:2:2 8 bit from Final Cut Express 4.
When I use quicktime to play the exported movie it works fine. I soon as I put this exported movie into the iDVD project and select play to test the Project, iDVD just quits. If I go back to Final Cut Express and export the project again this time just using default Quicktime move export and update the iDVD project to this movie it works when testing DVD in iDVD. iDVD does not appear to like the uncompressed movie.
Any suggestions on what needs to be done in order to use uncompressed movie with iDVD? The project I have is only 44 minutes long. The reason I wanted to use uncompressed was that I have graphic elements (ie fancy title etc from LiveType) that I want to preserve the quality.

how much available Hard Drive space is currently on the boot volume (your main HD)?
If it's over 25 GB's, did you export your QT movie like this (w/chapter markers only)?

I can't burn a dvd using any method, Idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when i click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac

I can't burn a dvd using any method, idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when I click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac, or how do I do whatever I need to do to get it working: I have already tried using a lens cleaning cd and also restored my nvram or something i forget what it was called but i restarted my computer holding down command+optoion+p+r and still nothing???
Free solutions are the best, although if I have to pay I will, I would prefer to not have to buy an external burner if possible and already know that is an option so please don't give me that answer... thank you for any help you can give

Unless your iMac is still covered by AppleCare, get an external DVD burner.
You can get perfectly good ones from Amazon for less than $40.

Why does idisc quit unexpectedly when trying to burn a disk?

Why does idisc quit unexpectedly when trying to burn a disk?

Since iDisk is an online service for keeping your data and has nothing to do with burning CDs or DVDs, you must be thinking of something else. What application are you using to burn? the Finder? iTunes? iDVD? Toast? Or something else?
Is there an error message that appears when this occurs?
Let us know, we'll keep working with you.

What does error message when trying to burn DVD from iDVD mean "not enough disk space to burn the remaining assets"

I created a DVD in idvd and now when trying to burn to DVD using external burner, I get the error message
"not enough disk space to encode the remaining assets". I am using a brand new blank DVD.
I have read the help info on computer but hasnt proved helpful.
Any suggestions?

iDVD requires a fair amount of disk space to carry out the encoding process; depending on your project, you may need to have over 25 GB free space on your startup hard drive. How much free space do you have?

IDVD crashes unexpectedly when trying to burn a DVD.

Hi. Although this question is previously asked by 'Marie' and successfully answered by 'Silly Rabbit', I and many other users experience the same problem of iDVD crashing when pressing the 'Burn' button, even after following the steps:
1. Remove iDVD and all relative files (playlists, projects)
2. Repair permission from disk utility
3. Run Onyx cache cleaner (system+kernell)
4. Re-install iDVD
5. Re-run permissions repair.
and still nothing. Crashes the minute I press 'Burn' regardless the type of menus, content (video, images), file size, etc. Additional dvd-r software in computer are mac the ripper and popcorn and vlc player. All MAC OS X updates are done since it is a brand new iMac G5. Can't get any help from apple. Thought crashing, bugs and re-installations would be history when changed from PC a month ago...
Any help?!
Thank you
Panos
Happy new year

Hi Panos,
Sorry you had to bump your head in iDVD so soon after geting the iMac. In my oppinion is the most buggy piece of software Apple ever made. The idea is very nice, and I tried all sort of things to make this program work, because i like it a lot. But it's just not working. I switched to DVD Studio Pro, which works like a charm, and you have much more options and controll.
The plist is the preference file, each program has one. It's normal that another file is created when you start the program. The reason to delete it is exactly this one: to create a new plist. Be aware that the settings are restored to their default values, for instance to NTSC (and you also want PAL, like me), when a new plist is created.
You can try also to delete previously encoded assets (Advanced>Delete Encoded Assets), maybe it will make a difference for you.
And please, don't be dissapointed because of iDVD. The rest of Mac OS X, and other programs, and Apple hardware are just nice.
Good luck

Error when trying to burn DVD

Hi
I get this error (repeatedly) when trying to burn DVD recently.
Error code 0x80020022
Burning disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed.
It's self explanatory I know, but what am I supposed to do about it? Is it a problem with my hardware?. I can't see the icon for my disc drive in Disc Utility to check it.
I've shut down and restarted, tried different DVDs, they're all DVD-R although I did try at first with a DVD +RW and hope this hasn't caused some damage.
Hope someone can help thanks.
I'm having loads of problems creating iDVDs as well. But I think I need to resolve issues one at a time....
Helen

Hi Helen - here are some general purpose iDVD tips that may address some of your unspecified troubles. In terms of communication troubles, could your hard drive be going to sleep, or screensaver kick in and interrupt the process?
General tips:
Do something small first; get some experience before you need to do a big project.
Lots of memory helps; and you'll need 10-15 gigs of space on the hard drive for scratch space.
Buy good quality disks - I've seen recommendations for Maxell, Sony, TDK and a few others based on testing. I primarily use the first two and usually don't have trouble.
Give yourself lots of time.
Turn off your screen savers and energy savers; don't let your hard drive go to sleep.
Get your computer healthy and ready for some heavy lifting. (video work could be the hardest job your computer can do) MacJanitor and Apple's DiskUtility's Repair Permissions is my routine.
Most of the time iDVD is working, it is encoding (compressing) your video to fit on the DVD. Create an image .img file (patchburn for iDVD 4 and older) and use Toast or Disk Utility to burn it to disk. Burn slow (1 or 2x) and let it cool down.
I keep my projects under 60 minutes (for highest resolution).
Try testers; you can use DVD-RW
I import into iDVD rather than export from iMovie (fewer errors).
No other apps open.
Let it encode and burn while you go to bed; it can take awhile, esp. on older Macs. Don't quit iDVD even when the DVD is burned, until you've played the DVD in a regular player (it's much easier to burn another disk and check to see if the problem was a bad disk, than to go back through all that encoding again by quitting iDVD).
John

Thanks, Scott

Hi
This Q is close to - Something is wrong. What's it ?
You have to supply much more info to be able to start guessing.
• What material was used ? Video codec, Audio file format and Photo file format
• Free space on Start-Up hard disk. How much ?
• Brand of DVD used ?
• Type of DVD used ?
• Burn speed set down or not ?
• Version of iMovie, iDVD'11 v 7.1.2 (OK), QuickTime and Mac OS ( X.6.8 I read ? )
And all extra info You can supply - that set's us on track.
Yours wanting to be of help. Bengt W

Error message 4000 when trying to burn a cd in itunes

I am having problems burning a cd in itunes. I am getting the error message the attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (4000). Can someone tell me how I can fix this problem. Please note that I have looked up other ways to solve problem and have tried them and none of them seem to work. Such as in program files I clicked on repair and not uninstall to see if there was any possible corrupt itunes files to be fixed. I changed the burn speed and that did not work. The only thing I did not do was a total uninstall of itunes. I need to know should I do that and if so what site will I need to go on to re-install itunes and will I have to pay for it? My computer which is Windows XP already had itunes on it when I bought it so I do not want to pay for itunes. So can someone please give me some guidance regarding this matter. And please note that I was able to burn cd's in itunes before and then it just stopped working. And I have tested my computer with the windows media player and I was able to burn music from my music library so I know my problem is with itunes.
Thanks!

I had this issue to when trying to burn discs recently. I went into the CD creation settings in iTunes and I "unchecked" the option to "Include CD Text" and after I did that, the disc I had been trying to burn several times with error, actually burned without fail. Give that a try and see what happens.

Keep getting Disc Burner or software not found when trying to burn a CD

I am not able to burn a playlist to a CD and get an error at the top of Itunes window "Disc Burner or Software Not Found". I have been able to burn CDs in the past with this same computer but had some issues with songs in itunes. Support had me uninstall Itunes and reinstall. I have also uninstalled the device in the device manager and re-installed it. I really don't know what to try except to ask for help here. I would appreciate any direction I can get. I have a Dell desktop XPS running on Windows 8.

Hi daurel,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you receive the error "Disc Burner or Software Not Found" when trying to burn CDs. You mention that you've already tried removing and reinstalling iTunes, and other drivers, and these are good steps.
If the situation continues, be sure to try the tips in this article:
iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install - Apple Support
Sincerely,
Jeremy

I tunes: when trying to burn a playlist I keep getting the message: the attempt to burn a disc failed. The disc could not be read from or written to. I am using version 12

I tunes: I am using version 12 of I tunes. Ever since downloading it I get the message when trying to burn a playlist it says, The attempt to burn a disc failed. The disc could not be read from or written to.
I uninstalled V-12 and then reinstalled it. This enabled me to burn a disc again but after a couple of tries I received the same error message again. Has Apple put out a fix to this problem that anyone is aware of?
Thanks.

Hi rossfrombluffton,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The resource below provides some general things to consider when burning a disc with iTunes. I would also try burning a music CD and a data disc from a different application in the Windows OS and trying a different brand CD just to confirm the issue is not with the optical drive.
Can't burn a CD in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-ae/HT203173
Find out what to do if you can't burn an audio CD using iTunes for Windows. Sometimes an audio disc may not burn as expected. Here are some things to check.
Update iTunes
Download and install the latest version of iTunes for Windows.Check for unauthorized songs
iTunes will stop burning a disc if you purchased one or more of the songs in a playlist from the iTunes Store and the songs aren't authorized to play on your computer. This message should appear: "Some of the files can not be burned to an audio CD. Do you still want to burn the remainder of this playlist? For more information on why some files can not be burned, click below."
To find out which songs aren't authorized, play each song in the playlist. Songs that play are authorized. Songs that don't play aren't authorized. You'll be asked to authorize any unauthorized songs.Make sure your playlist will fit on a single CD
If there are too many songs in a playlist to fit on a single CD, iTunes should ask if you want to burn multiple discs or cancel the burn. This message should appear: "The songs in this playlist will not fit on one Audio CD. Do you want to create multiple Audio CDs with this playlist split across them? This will require more than one blank CD to complete."
If you click the Audio CDs button, the burn will continue and you'll be asked to insert blank CDs until the playlist is completely burned. If you click cancel, the burn will be canceled.
To make the playlist shorter so that it will fit on a single CD, select a song to remove from the playlist and choose Edit > Clear. Repeat this step until the duration of the playlist is between 60 and 80 minutes. The duration appears at the top of the playlist window. Most CD-R discs can hold 60 to 80 minutes of music.
Check how many times you've burned the playlist
An unchanged playlist that contains songs purchased from the iTunes Store can be burned no more than seven times.Additional steps and submitting feedback

How do I fix the 4900 error I get when trying to burn a cd in itunes?

how do I fix the 4900 error I get when trying to burn a cd in itunes?

We are having the same issue.
Windows 7 x64
Microsoft Office 2013 (Word)
Adobe Reader XI (11.0.0)
Whenever someone tries to embed a PDF file into a Word document, the following error occurs:
The program used to create this object is AcroExch. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install AcroExch or ensure that any dialog boxes in AcroExch are closed.
I have looked at alot of articles online that say to 'Disable' Protected Mode. This does not resolve the issue. This option is not set by default in our environment.
Do we have any confirmation or information from Adobe on this issue?

I am getting error code 0x8002006E when trying to burn a DVD

Hi, I am running the latest Lion update, on my MB Pro, and keep getting the error code 0x8002006E when trying to burn a DVD. Could this be a dirty lens issue in the drive. I see that many others have had the same problem, but relly cant seem to find anyone that has a solution that works.. Help

It's an error thrown by Mac OS X's DiscRecording framework (as opposed to an error communicated by the drive's firmware). The message is (as you probably saw)
"The burn failed because of a medium write error."
Could this be a dirty lens issue in the drive.
I don't think there's one single cause for this error. It might be a dirty lens. It might be something else. Not all recordable optical discs work well with all burners. Try a different brand.
