IDVD - Tried to create a dvd

I tried to create a dvd on iDVD 7.1.2 (1158). I selected my theme, selected my movies (.mov files), click on burn, after 2h:45min I got a windows that said done, and dvd was ejected, but the countdown still running the only button is cancel.
Why did not burn my dvd.
Please any suggestion will be appreciate it
Thanks in advance.

NTFS - formatted external hard disks is out of range error to me - Never been able to test
• Mac OS Extended (HFS) formatted works for video
• UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most BUT NOT FOR Video ! !
• NTFS - ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
H.264, HD-format and 24fps - must be problematic. I don't really know but feel very doubtful as
DVD is as standard - interlaced SD-video with a frame rate of 25 fps (PAL) or 29.97 fps (NTSC)
the feeding it progressive material in HD and in some cases as 24 fps - must be problematic.
I would
a. Import my movie into iMovie
b. Share to Media Browser and as Large (not HD or other res. as result will suffer)
c. In iDVD import from Media button and Movie and here find Your movie and drop it into iDVD menu window

Hi everybody, I am trying to create a DVD pal without menu with the program iDVD from a .mov file. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

Hi everybody, I am trying to create a DVD pal without menu with the program iDVD from a .mov file. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

(From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results. That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option. Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
Hope this helps!

Using export slide show from iphoto, I am trying to create a DVD of photos and vid clips in large format. The vid clips do not work using burn software. Any idea?

Using export slide show from iphoto, I am trying to create a DVD of photos and vid clips in large format. The vid clips do not work using burn software. Any idea?

Have used large format, but using the 'burn' software, I am not getting seamless video quality on DVD even though I am burning at 2* speed. Any ideas? Do I need better software? Or is there a problem with the SuperDrive?

Trying to create a dvd with video and slides...need help

I am trying to make a dvd that includes video from my sister's wedding but I would also like it to include slideshows that I have already created in iDVD. Her wedding video was taken in to a shop and put onto a DVD. I would like to take the video from that DVD and combine it with my slideshows so that everything is on one disc. Plus, the menus (or lack thereof) from the DVD the shop made are HORRIBLE. Can someone tell me how to do this?
Also, if you could explain how to insert chapters into the video once I have it into iDVD that would be appreciated. They did not include these on the DVD from the shop so it's one long movie with no way of skipping ahead short of fast forwarding.
Thank you very much for any input.
Michael

Hi, Michael,
I did for my daughter's wedding what you are trying to do for your sister's. You can do it this simple way:
I took her wedding DVD and copied some of it onto DV tape and imported that into iMovie where I edited it down to some clips I wanted to go with the still photos I already had.
To copy the DVD footage, I just put the disk into our DVD player, connected my camcorder and recorded it. Yes, there was a slight loss of quality, but not very detectable in the final product. After all, I am not a professional wedding videographer and some of the stills were from inexpensive snapshot cameras.
The final video still turned out well.
I actually did another longer one, this time using the original DV footage from the wedding videographer--he let us have it because he took so long to make the DVD! The DVD I made from that is of course better quality, but not that much better that I would go to more trouble to get it.

Keynote and iDVD...creating clickable DVDs with sound

G'day and greetings from Down Under!
I have tried to create an interactive DVD from Keynote which has both user interaction (click to advance) AND sound! I can get 1 but not the other depending whether I use the export to QT or export to iDVD.
It seems to me that you should be able to do both... but a clickable mov file that gets imported into imovie in order to add sound files (lost in the export) actually loses it interactability... the clicks no longer work if you take the resulting imovie file to iDVD.
Can anyone out there help me?
Cheers! Aussie Bob.

send Apple some feedback here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/keynote.html
I think it was an oversight as there's no reason why it shouldn't have audio in it. Soundtracks are a different story, but audio on a slide should have been included.
Now, there are other issues, such as mpeg1s get their audio stripped out (or used to at least) because QT couldn't handle demuxing the audio correctly...but if you've got other stuff like AIF files on your slides, and it's still not including them, then I doubt that Keynote is even bothering with it.

Error 34 when trying to create a DVD?

I have produced a HD project in iMovie but when I try to create a DVD I get the error message 34.

Hi
Error -34 = Disk full error
How much space is there on Your Boot/Start-up hard disk ?
My minimum is 25Gb free space.
No this area can't be utilized on any other hard disks - at all.
Mac OS (UNIX) needs it for it's temp files
FinalCut/iMovie/iDVD - the very same - can't be addressed elsewhere.
also
see that You only used A to Z and 0 to 9 in any title or file name !
No °!"#€%&/()=?:; - or alike

Trying to create new DVD from selected portions of existing DVD

I have a DVD I created of my son singing from a video we copied into the Mac several months ago. I can't find the file on the MAC and I'm not sure it would help with my objective if i found it. The video tape has been taped over.
I want to capture selected portions of the old DVD onto a new DVD.
Using a camcorder and a different tape, I learned tha I-movie lets me capture clips directly from the camcorder.
How do I create clips from the old DVD and import them into iMovie like the camcorder allowed me to do. Once I create the clips, is it difficult to create a new DVD from the clips. This is a new process to me. It may be an easy step I'm missing, but missing that step is a show stopper. Can someone help. -- thanks

Hi
Tapeing over an old tape - has it's major disadvantages. You'll never get that
same good quality again. The DVD disc has a very much lower quality than the original
what ever way You choose.
Easy: Connect Your Camera to a set-top DVD player and copy to a new tape.
Best quality I've got.
More elaborate (read pricey) use a video-bridge (some Cameras can do this)
Lazy and not that expencive: Buy Roxio Toast™ and let it convert back to streamingDV
that iMovie can handle. Probably about the same quality as copy to tape.
And don't put a mini DVD disc into Your Mac. You need a trayloaded DVD to do this.

IDVD 7.1.1(1150) Error when create a DVD

Hi @ all,
I hope you can help me with this stupid problem.
A friend of mine created two videos for me in AfterEffects CS4. The first video is a youtube clip with pictures fading in and out.
The second one is a video only with pictures and sound. (Each is about 10 minutes long)
The videos where renderd in QuickTime format with AIC compression and in QuickTime Format with standard settings.
Both videos can be played in QuickTime Player without errors.
Now the Problem:
I wanted to create a DVD with both videos for playing them on TV. I created an iDVD Project without Submenus.
The videos should be able to be selected in the mainmenu. I changed the heading of the menu and the titles of the films (without signs like dot oder sth. only spaces between the words). The apple Logo is also hidden. The DropBox is filled automatically.
When I am trying to save the DVD as Video_TS folder, iDVD renders the menu and then crashes when it starts to render the movies.
Until now I got two different errors when I was trying to get the DVD saved. Either iDVD crahes completely or it gets me a Multiplexing Error (Error while muxing...)
We tried all combinations of rendering modes in After Effects, but every time the same.
I also deleted com.apple.iDVD.plist and com.apple.iDVD.LSSharedFileList.plist and restarted iDVD but there was no effect.
What's wrong with the program or what did we wrong ;-)?!?
I'm at the end of my knowledge to handle this.....
Does anyone know what to do, or knows a tip how to get iDVD working?
PS: There is a strange thing that I noticed this evening. Every time when I am trying to create the DVD, the estimated time for finishing the project gets a little longer. At the moment iDVD estimates one hour and about 8 to 15 minutes. (I dont know if this has anything to do with the problem).
Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards
Numelle from Germany

Hello Numelle,
I don't have any experience with AfterEffects, but problems like this can be related to export formats, to hardware, or to iDVD. Here's a start at working through your situation:
Export formats - iDVD can handle a variety, but DV Stream (.dv) is one of the Quicktime options which is most compatible with iMovie and iDVD.
Hardware - if the problem is happening during rendering, this is when the greatest demand is being placed on your processor. Quit from other applications and make sure you have enough free space on your boot drive (your main hard drive) for "scratch space." You'll want to have a minimum of 10 gigs of free space for iDVD to work.
iDVD - looks like you're running an older version of iDVD with a new operating system. Check around the forum to see if others are having any compatibility problems, especially with Quicktime (since the operating system and iDVD are both using Quicktime elements).

Using IDVD to create a DVD with HDV footage edit in Final Cut

I tried to create a DVD with IDVD 5. It was a 5 minute hdv movie edited in Final Cut and the result was really bad.
I have tried the best quality option but it's still a disaster. I taught about using compressor but It would take 110 hours to compress this movie in h:264
What is my solution?

I have tried the best quality option but it's still a disaster.
Try best performance.

I want to create this DVD in iDVD but...

I created a project in iMovie and every time I try to share it by publishing it in Media Browser or iDVD during and after a few hrs of it's upload iMovie quits unexpectedly every time before it finishes. And I've been trying to create this DVD for months. At first the movie project was ready to burn on iDVD, and during the burning process it stopped, saying there was a problem with multiplexing or something it it would not finish burning the movie. I have since did some adjustments on the project, and now iMovie quits after several hrs the publishing process, so I can't even see if the iDVD burning will work if I tried it again because iMovie won't complete the publishing process, it "unexpectedly quits" every time..

Your target size for free space available on your Mac HD is around 25GB at a minimum for DVD project burning. To find out how much free space is available go to your Mac HD, hold down the Option key and click on the icon. Choose Get Info.
The field you are most interested in looking at is the one titled Available: which tells you how much free space you have. If you are over 25GBytes available, you're not running out of hard drive space to create the DVD project.

How do you create a DVD

Can anyone please help? I have about given up.
I have created a Movie on iMovie HD and then tried to create a dvd using iDVD5. It has been the first time I have used either program but my first atempt was succesfull. However I wasn't happy with the finished product so changed one of the menu's and added some extra chapter markers.
Since then I have not been able to create a DVD.
It takes along time to get past the Audio encoding bit and it will eventually say that burning is complete but with errors.
I am using my Powermac G3 with 1gb of ram and a new 320gb external hard drive.
I have also tried creating a disk image but Toast doesnt allow me select the movie from the menu.
Sorry to woffle on but if anyone could help it might just stop me from throwing the computer through the window.

iDVD can take awhile to finish the encoding, so be patient. I wouldn't focus too much on the exact description that iDVD is providing.
The disk image is a self-contained file so it will transfer fine. It is conceivable that the read/write permissions are goofy. Check them with Get Info, and search this forum for other ideas.

Imovie '08 create a dvd

I have a 1 hour movie in imovie '08 and am trying to create a dvd in idvd. I tried creating a quicktime movie and a large movie as recommended. After 4 hours both screens told me I had 1200 minutes left and the time kept growing. Can anyone tell me how to burn a 1 hour movie from imovie '08 to a dvd?Thank You,
Steve

Choose share and media browser, once this is complete open iDVD 08 and you will see your movie in the media browser, you can then use it with iDVD 08 to make your DVD.
If you like to make DVDs, give iMovie 06 a try.
I use both iMovie 08 and iMovie 06, if I want to make a DVD I prefer iMovie 06. iMovie 08 is not as DVD friendly as iMovie 06.
iMovie 08 has replaced "Share to iDVD" with "Share to media browser". Also iMovie 08 cannot set chapter markers, this has to be done with another program.
When using iMovie 06, one mouse click will set a chapter marker EXACTLY where you specify. In just a few seconds set all your chapter markers. When you are done editing just "share to iDVD 08" and all of your chapter markers will be there!
iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 is a terrific combination.
Apple includes iMovie 06 as a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)

IDVD Won't Create Scene Selections

Hi - I'm just starting to learn iMovie 09 and iDVD 7.0.4. I made an iMovie with chapter markers, tried to create a DVD of it in iDVD and it would not create the chapter markers. So I tried making a "Magic DVD" and lo and behold, it recognized my chapter markers and make scene selections out of them. Perfect. I burned it to a dvd. Then I created another movie in iMovie with chapter markers. I did the same exact thing, but when I created it as an Magic DVD, this time it won't recognize the chapter markers and create scene selections. I am totally stuck.
Does anyone have any ideas I might try? What could I possibly be doing with the second movie that I did not do with the first?? I just won't create scene selections.
Thanks

Hi PainterLady
And welcome to apple discussions. Drag and drop the plist for iDvd to the trash if you haven't already tried this, fallowed by a complete restart of your mac. See if it helps. The Plist for iDvd is located within your preferences folder and looks like this:
com.apple.iDvd.plist
iDvd will create a new factory default set of preferences.
Once you've done this, then repair permissions from apple's disc utility (Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility).
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

DVD Studio Pro - How to create a DVD playable on all mediums

I'm trying to create a DVD playable on all mediums, i.e Mac, PC, home DVD players. I have placed all assets in appropriate places etc, menus built correctly, end jumps etc set correctly. The simulation shows me what the DVD will play like on my mac, but when I burn (in HD mode using either DVD+RW or DVD+R DL) it does not play on PC or other DVD players, including my PS3 or XBOX360 any ideas why?

If you're in HD mode you're making a HD DVD. Search for info on it as there are lots of threads on here but basically you can only play HD DVD content (even if on DVD-R etc) in HD DVD Players. Not PS3, DVD Players and so on. If you have the (discontinued) 360 HD DVD drive add-on you can get the 360 to play it too.
If you want better luck you'll need to use SD DVD and search for tips on that.
