IDVD won't play on Bose DVD, little volume when played on another player

I just finished an iDVD, using two movies created in Photo-to-Movie and iMovie, and another just in iMovie, with some video I shot. I placed all three movies onto a DVD.
The movie plays great on my Sony DVD player, although volume is pretty loud, compared to commercial DVDs. It plays great on my iMac and a PC.
On the Bose system I have, a 1-2-3 model (AV-18), the DVD player does not recognize the format at all. When played in another DVD player (Oppo) I have hooked up to the Bose for sound, I can barely hear sound, even when set to top volume. Commercial movies played either on the Oppo or Bose are fine.
Is this just one of the many pain-in-the-rear dysfunctions of a Bose system, or should I figure out a way to use another format when use iMovie/iDVD to create a movie?

Commercial DVDs are pressed, not burned, so they are 'read' differently by DVD players.
I know that burned DVD disks can play differently in different DVD players. Mine always play great on my Sonys, but not always on my Toshiba. The Toshiba seems to read the audio tracks in reverse, making the audio louder where I have decreased it and vice versa.
I have not tried my DVDs on Bose or Oppo players, so I don't know if the problem is more specific to them.
Be sure you are using a quality brand of DVD disk; Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden are recommended here. Memorex and TDK are not. Apparently their disk layers are thinner making burns inconsistent.
If you burned a DVD +R disk, you might want to try it on a DVD-R disk. Also, choose a slow burn speed.
I always use Verbatim archival gold disks DVD-R, burn at a speed of 4x or less.

I just switch from tape to digital. The video has a little bounce when played on tv. I copyied the DVD to a folder, and burned it to a dvd.
I can see in bounce at the bottom of the screen.

You could go back to the project and, in the Edit area, scale out the bouncing bottom edge. I am assuming that it will be visible there.
Then do another burn to folder, and then take the saved folder's VIDEO_TS to DVD disc with your 3rd party software, presumed ImgBurn.
If you want to scale width and height together, then leave the check mark next to Constrain Proportions in Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded. If you want to scale width and height separately, the remove the check mark next to Constrain Proportions in Motion Panel expanded.
Please let us know the results. We might consider the Crop Effect also. (fx Effects/Transform/Crop with edits of it int Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Crop Panel expanded).
Thank you.

My iPhone 4 plays music at a low volume when connected to a car stereo

My iPhone 4 plays music at a low volume when connected to a car stereo either by fm transmitter or aux cable. The volume on the phone is full and the car stereo is full yet you can barely hear it. Anyone else had issues with this

I seem to remember someone several months ago having this same problem and I think it turned out to be the AUX cord.
FM transmitters tend to have low volume associated with them as well from my experience.

Burned dvd has sound when played on computer, silent in dvd player

I have a file from final cut express. The dvd's burned just fine using idvd 06. When I try to burn a dvd with idvd 08, the sound is present when I play the dvd on the computer's dvd player, and on the portable dvd player, the dvd is silent in the jvc dvd player. I read in the help topics that older dvd players might not play home burned discs, which seems ridiculous - I didn't have this problem with 06. Is there a preference I'm missing? The file, video + audio, is 670 mb. I've tried making an image file and burning a disc with that (by dragging the file onto the disc - is that how to burn an image file?) - the picture looks fine, the audio is still missing. I'm using maxell discs, and have tried "best performance" burn quality.
thanks in advance -

After looking at my post yesterday, I can see it was a bit harsh, sorry! We all have ways of doing things, it just that in my experience after wasting considerable time and money, trouble shooting over the years, the suggestion of a once a year install, has really reduced issues with my up-time.
If you look at it this way, Apple always releses a new OS once a year, so for me, its a good time to freshen up the OS an clean out any issues I've had with the functionality of the Mac.
A good example was this last upgrade to FCP Studio. If any of the old preferences from FCP or DVD SP were left behind, many people, (here) had issues with performance, or a working system at all and yes for many tossing the preferences helped. For me, the 3 hours of doing a freash install, was worth a full years up-time, (but that's my preference) but as you pointed out, many times not nessary.
PDTV, again, I apoligize for the poor way I posted and I do respect your opinion on this matter, I however do have a different approch to this, due to time I had wasted in the past. I hope you can respect mine and others approch to this.
Again, I meant you no disrespect. I hope you accept my apology.

A small logo of Dolby Digital or DVD-Audio missing when play DVD-A or DVD software with SPDIF

I can see these logo before when I play DVD-A or play DVD movies with SPDIF enabled on DVD software such as PowerDVD. And now it's gone, when play SPDIF, it does not show these logos at all.
I appreciate any advises.
Thanks

for the logos, someone asked how to know what kind of signal his card was decoding. I provided 2 examples:
http://shingoyab.free.fr/creative/dolby.jpg
http://shingoyab.free.fr/creative/dts.jpg
if you don't see them but hear correct surround sound, don't bother. On some situation (not determined which one though) the logo disapears. I lost them some rare times. Last times was when listening to some DD music when programming small homeworks in OpenGL.

Dvd plays ok on computer, no colour when played on TV

I have just burned a DVD for the first time. The project was edited in imovie first and has stills plus video. It looks fine in the preview and plays fine on my imac but when I play it through my sony dvd player it looses the colour and plays black and white.
any ideas?
Hutch

Another possibility is, the TV that you have has all the color taken out. To find out I would see if the TV plays anything else in color. If it plays cable TV input and the input from the DVD Player in black and white then the problem is probably a setting in the TV. But if the black and white problem is only occurring with the input from the DVD Player the problem is either 1)Mac-onga is right and the plugs are put in the wrong inputs on the back/front of the TV OR 2)there is a black and white setting on the DVD player.
Hope this helps,

Flash Video Looks great when i play localy but is very grainy when played from a server

What could be going on that would cause my flash video to look terriable when played off a server, but look great when played localy?
the clip is encoded in f4v and is about 3 min long, when i test it i use the same html file and browser, the only thing that changes is, local vs server

here is a link to the clip the issue really stands out at about 19 sec into the clip where there are some animated lines that flow around http://www.autical.net/saver/
below i added screen shots the top one is the local and the bottom one is the server
i guess i used the term grainy incorrectly, i should have said blocky

Why I have little stops when playing a made DVD?

I have made a DVD from an exported sequence as Quick Time Movie to make a DVD, but when I play it, it runs with little stops, as it had some freeze frames. I shot the project in HDV-HD24p(JVC200U camera), and edited in FCP 6.0.6 Studio 2, the Sequence Preset:Apple ProRes422(HQ) 1280x720 24p 48khz, Capture Preset: HDV-Apple ProRes422(HQ) and the Device Control: HDV FireWire NDF. Exported the sequence: Quick Time Movie, with Current Settings. I tested the DVD in others players and the little stops remain. Some suggestions for correcting this? Thanks to all.

Ah. I'm no further help then.
My mastering, compression and DVD authoring is all done with Final Cut Studio.
Maybe someone else that uses Toast in this way has a suggestion.

IDVD won't read nor import DVD-R movie

I have a very old version of iDVD, 2.1.2. I have trying to create a highlight film for my girls basketball team. I know I don't have a combo drive but I'd like to create something they could watch on my old ibook. I have recorded a few of our games on my Sony Handycam DCR DVD305. I can watch the games on the ibook but iDVD wont import any of the games. I assume my iDVD software is just out of date. Am I correct?

Hello Coach,
iDVD is not meant to import/edit videos - iMovie does the editing part. If you want to import footage from a DVD have a look here: http://karsten.schluter.googlepages.com/convertdvdstodvs

IDVD won't burn to LaCie DVD burner - Help

I need help on getting my iMac G5 to recognize the LaCie d2 burner I recently installed. I am using iDVD 4 and I can't seem to burn a DVD. I have created a nice slide show and it previews beautifully but when my Mac tries to burn nothing happens. My Mac has a combo drive NOT super drive. Also, what does it cost to upgrade to iDVD 5 and is it worth it? Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi srtri,
Did you install the driver provided by LaCie? see this LaCie's link: LaCie - External Storage: Hard Drives, CD-RW Drives, DVD-RW Drives, Tape, Monitors and choose the "DVD" product family.

Audio ok when playing on computer, but not there when playing on DVD player

I've made two DVDs on my MacBook: one where I dragged a variety of short films into iDVD (imported via iMovie but NOT edited on iMovie!) and burned it - this one plays fine on everyone's computers and DVD players. The second DVD I created with material edited in iMovie and then burned via Share -> iDVD and while that plays fine on my computer, the audio is "missing" when I play it on a regular DVD player.
I burned the DVDs the exact same way, used the exact same DVD stock, and played on the exact same DVD player, so what's going on? I don't think it's an iDVD problem, I think there's something (not) happening in iMovie...

What format is the original?

Burned dvds keep skipping when played on tv

Hi, i use toast 7 to burn movies adn dvds, lately ive been having problems with the movies that i burned on dvd because when i try to play them on my tv, the movie keep skipping or sometimes it freezes. I have used dvd - and dvd + in case that was the problem, but i still get the same result. Does anyone know the reason for this?
Thanks

Some DVD players have difficulty reading DVD's burned with Toast 7, and other programs that burn DVD's. Do you have the updates installed? Are you burning via Video_TS folders?
If so try another program, such as Disco (http://www.discoapp.com/).
The more current the DVD player, the less likely that you'll have a player issue. How new is the player?

Help! DVD is pixelating when played back on household player

Help please! This is driving me mad...
I searched the archives but couldn't find the answer, and if I don't finish this wedding video by Monday my mate is gonna litterally string me up!
I've cut the project in Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 - exported as a quicktime file and I'm rying to burn it onto DVD using a Lacie external DVD +/- rw double layer drive. I've been trying to do this using toast 6 lite.
The finished product will play back fine on my iBook, and my mate's powerbook, but when I try and play it back through the telly on a normal DVD player it keeps pixelating - almost like a pulse.
Any ideas? Will save a friendship....
I've been using bog standard sony DVDs, and burnt them at 16x. I'm going to give it a bash at 1x as I've heard this might help - but there seem to be two options in toast - 1x and 1xDVD.
Thanks, Paula.

Paula:
You didn't post any information about how you authored/burned your DVD, but this is a general basic workflow:
- From your sequence timeline in FCP select Export > Using Compressot
- In Compressor select the DVD: High quality 90 min preset (or the preset that match your sequence lenght!) and use the MPEG2 preset for your video and the AC3 for your audio.
- Select a destination where to locate your finale files.
- When completed, import thos .m2v and .ac3 files into DVDSP and create a track with them
- You can build your menus or just select that track as First Play and burn your disc.
- You can check this tutorial about Creating Disc Image in DVDSP (from www.kenstone.net site). It's a good procedure for safe burning.
Hope that helps!
Alberto
