IDVD will not finish burning

I am burning a project with 4 motian menus and about 56 minute movie. When I go to burn it, the whole thing just stops when it's almost done the audio part.
The Project is almost 3 GB. I didn't relize my harddrive needed twice as much extra space to burn so I moved the projects to my other drive that was much cleaner.
So, I've been waiting for this ALL day, I've done it twice and I don't have a DVD to watch. Is there a reason for this? I thought I did everything right.
(I need this to burn as I need my harddrive space back for another movie.)

Even though Apple says 2X the DVD size, in reality you should have more. To create the DVD, iDVD must make a file of the encoded audio, the encoded video, and a muxed file that has them combined. This, by itself, is at least 2X the DVD size. But in addition to that, you want to give your system plenty of room to breathe and swap space for your virtual memory.......so get some more free space. I'd say 20GB free....you might think this is overkill, but it has helped others, so get as much as you can in any case.
when it's almost done the audio part
iDVD will often seem to hang at this part, you should let it keep trying to finish even if it seems to have stopped.
I need my harddrive space back for another movie
Or you just plain need more hard drive space. If you want to make movies, buy more external (HFS+ formatted) hard drives. No such thing as too much space......

IDVD Will Not Complete Burning

I'm not quite sure why iDVD is having this problem. I have been able to burn DVDs in the past using the app, and all of a sudden, it won't seem to complete fully what I direct it to do. Can someone help point me in the right direction? This the screen I get--the DVD will pop out, and iDVD will stay on this screen until I hit cancel.

I had trouble burning anything with iDVD, yet I was able to save what I was doing as a disk image, and that burned okay. I could burn a CD from iTunes fine. Didn't know what was going on. Someone suggested cleaning the burning drive's lens with a can of compressed air. I also changed dvd brands to Verbatim (usually works fine) and S*ny. tdk may work....anyways, long story short, I'm back in business burning stuff with no problem whatever. repairing permissions and trashing preferences may help, too. Just posting this in the hopes that it may help someone. btw, I have a stock Optiarc drive and a Lite-On
snagged from a PC (yep, works fine, too)
there you go

ITunes will not finish burning playlist

When burning a playlist all appears to be going well until the burn gets to "finishing burn" and it never does. The spinning wheel just keeps on going and going. When I try to cancel the burn I get the same thing and the only way out of it is to force quit. Its not a hardware problem because I can burn CD's using toast.

I also am having problems burning a cd. I get a notice: "The attempt to burn disk failed. The device is not accessible, possibably because it was removed. " no other programs were running and nothing was touched. It gets part way through and ejects the disk particially burned. please help.thanks

IDVD will not finish loading.

I tried updating: "iDVD 7.1.2 Fixes a problem that could prevent files from re-linking. Addresses an issue that could cause iDVD to use all available CPU capacity when searching for missing files." Still won't finish loading and must force quit.

To fix your issue is too complicated and lengthy to go into all of it here as it sounds like a hardware issue, it will require the services of person very familiar and experienced with Mac's to first recover your data and then restore OS X back to a functional state which may or may not require new hardware/software installed.
If your under warranty or AppleCare, take it in for service.
You can also hire the services of a local Mac computer support technician experienced in these matters.
Have them look at your Wifi, RAM amount, extra storage and computer backup proceedures in the process.
Good Luck.

Idvd will not burn after upgrade to maverick

Hello-
I just upgraded to maverick and now iDVD will not burn a DVD - says it does not have a compatible superdrive. It was working fine until I upgraded. How can I burn a nice DVD now?

Suggestion only. Before launching, did you also check for updates via apple's software updater?

My iDvd will not burn a disc...there is an encoding error that comes up after the title screen

Like it says in the title...My iDvd will not burn a disc...there is an encoding error that comes up after the title screen.
Here is the process that I have been doing.
1. put in a blank disk and with the project already being done, i hit burn (not too hard).
2. iDvd then starts to encode the title.
3. After the title has been encoded, the burning stops and a message comes up saying "there was an error during encoding" and when ever I try to burn the same message keeps on coming up.
I am running version 7.0.4
any help would be extremely helpful

Try using this workflow:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
Then you can concentrate on the content if you can't create a disk image of the project.

IDVD will not launch to burn DVD

In my iMovie HD 5.0.2, the iDVD will not launch to burn a DVD. I have tried everything. When clicking the iDVD, it says to go to Finder to launch. In Finder, I go to applications and click iDVD and get:You cannot use this version of the application iDVD with this version of Mac OSX.
What are my options???

Just a little confused. I already have iphoto, imovie, garage band etc that would be in a ilife download so what are the benefits? Currently, when I click for software upgrades, there are none. Would downloading ilife really change anything?

IDVD will not encode audio

Hi,
Just as the topic says, iDVD will not encode the audio......well whats happening is that it says its in the process of encoding....the bar turns grey, and has the loading color wheel thing and thats basically whats happening. Its been doing this for the past hour. I have lots of ram and memory so i dont think thats a problem.....any solutions??
Thanks

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!

IDVD will not launch in iMovie HD 5.0.2

The iDVD will not launch as a notice says it won't launch with my version of osx. I want to be able to burn DVDs but can't. Suggestions???

If you want to use the iLife programs,per Niels response on your other post, you need to upgrade to iLife '06. Looking at the requirements, iLife '06 is the only version you can upgrade to, as iLife '08 and later require Intel processors for iMovie and other functions. One place you can buy it from is: http://hardcoremac.stores.yahoo.net/ilife06.html .
There are some freebie DVD burning programs available, however, you lose the integration that the iLife programs bring with them.
Roxio makes several programs that will burn DVD's. I've used Toast Titanium for years and can recommend it. See http://www.roxio.com/

Keynote 08 will not finish export to quicktime, or share with any apps

I have a presentation that I am using a smartbuild (160 photos) that will not finish exporting to quicktime, or share with youtube or iweb/idvd, etc. It saved once out of twenty attempts. It freezes up around the last photo in the smartbuild then quits unexpectedly. Any tips?

The other work around that I've found is to tell it "send to iDVD" but then quit iDVD when it pops that up. You'll end up with just the quicktime file it created.
What I noticed is that when a "quicktime export" plays in QT, it has a fps rate of like 7 or 8 or even 13 but the dynamic "playing fps" goes up to 30 during transitions and back to 0 when there isn't a transition. At least with the iDVD cheat you end up with 24 fps. That may work for some people, that is film rate, but I'm in need of NTSC DV 29.97. So I import it into Final Cut Express, and do an export conversion.
I don't use audio, so I don't know how that would work in this cheat, but since your voiceover (I'm guessing based on trying to put music to my slides) is one entire track, you can add that in FCE before that export and line it up there.
If anyone else has suggestions to get a 29.97 export correct with the "export to quicktime", I'd love to hear it. This cheat takes too long for my work.

TS1702 I have an app that appears to need to be updated. I clicked to update three days ago. It has started to update and will not finish. How can I delete the app while its in the middle of updating?

I have an app that appeared to need to be updated. I clicked to update three days ago. It has started to update and will not finish. How can I delete the app while its in the middle of updating?

Locked on an update can mean a couple of different things. So there are a number of things to try, but start with these.
If you have a "waiting" icon, try tapping on the icon and see if you can pause the update/download. Of it pauses, tap on it again and see if it will resume.
Try holding down on the icon until all of the icons on the screen wiggle. If the X to delete pops up on the waiting/stalled app - tap the X to delete the app. Tao,the home button and the apps will stop wiggling.
You can also try this and see if the downloads will resume. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

IPad syncing will not finish

My iPad will not finish syncing. It has been on step 7 of 7 for hours and still says "Waiting for items to copy". This has been a consistent problem for about a month... sometimes the final step is syncing music and sometimes photos or movies, regardless it seems like it alwasy stalls out on the final step of the syncing process. It's possible that It hasn't worked since moving to iOS 5 upgrade. It appears that everything is correctly moving from laptop to iPad... but I have to eject iPad to make it stop syncing and some of my apps are crashing too. Any ideas?

If you are syncing over WiFi - rather than ejecting the iPad - just try quitting iTunes if the sync will not finish. Restart your computer, and restart the iPad and see if that helps.
I had a similar problem and that is what worked for me.
The other thing that I have noticed - and maybe this is the wrong way to do this - but with WiFi syncing on my iPad - if I eject the device after the sync - iTunes does not want to recognize the device again when I relaunch iTunes. If I just quit iTunes after I sync, I have no problems with my iPad being recognized in iTunes when I launch it again.
