ILife 11 - IDVD burned the wrong movie.

After installing ILife 11 I built a church service movie in IMovie, shared to ITunes (due to sound sync problems with other options), then added to a new project in IDVD. The movie looks correct when viewed in IDVD both in total and specific chapters. During the burn process the thumbnails from the correct movie shows as the process continues but, the completed DVD contains an entirely different movie.
Thus far ILife 11 has given me nothing but problems in what previously had been a simple process that I had done dozens of times. It has also caused me to waste many hours and supplies.

The iDVD version in iLife '11 is the same as in last two previous versions of iLife. So IT hasn't changed.
I've never gone the 'shared with iTunes' route. I'm not sure what kind of issues THAT approach could cause.
Did you actually CREATE a new iDVD project for the adjusted movie? Trying to modify an existing project can cause problems. (Which could certainly lead to the wrong movie appearing on the DVD.)
It has also caused me to waste many hours and supplies
Computer programs are fussy and want you to do things their way. Rather than waste more DVD discs, make your burn to a disk image file (an option under FILE in iDVD); double-click on the .img disk image file to mount it on your desktop; and play it with the Apple DVD Player application. If it's correct, you can burn it to writable media using the Apple Disk Utility application.

    Hi Michael,
    I'm glad iTunes is working now!  If you want to locate iTunes plug-ins on your computer, you can find them in the following locations (you may not have the iTunes Plug-ins folder if you do not have plug-ins):
    Mac:
    /Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
    /Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
    One thing I also wanted to mention is that the "Users/username/Library" is hidden in Lion and Mountain Lion.  You can access it using these steps:
    OS X Mountain Lion: What is the Library folder?
    The Library folder contains files used by OS X and your apps, including your personal fonts and preferences. The Library folder is hidden. If you need to open it, make sure you are in the Finder, hold down the Option key, and then choose Go > Library.

  • Burning the wrong Events? How do you mark Events to burn?

    Having difficulty in selecting events to burn to DVD. Have already wasted 3 DL DVD's doing this.
    I have tried selecting the required Events by highlighting them so they show with a yellow border.
    I then click Share / Burn
    It then shows the CD/DVD icon at the bottom, and shows 627 items
    The burn happens very quickly and when finished then burnt DVD has about all the pictures (about 10) from the first folder in the 'Recent' section of the left hand sidebar.
    What the **** am I doing wrong? Was expecting selecting a few photos and burning the DVD to be a 10 minute job this morning before going out. Been here an hour now. I make money building Windows PC's and Ubuntu machines for people, but cant even burn a CD on the **!%^ Mac
    Sorry for ranting but......aaaagh

    What I want to do is select some events, and burn them as the 'mini library' to a DVD. It is a DVD going to someone that also has iPhoto, so i was hoping to do the mini library thing with thumbs etc.
    But the files I have selected do not get burnt.
    I could do the export to a folder thing, but did not see the need since iPhoto has a built in burn option. it is there, I would have expected it to work by highlighting the photos I wanted and select burn.
    As a trial, I selected just one event of just 20 photos to burn. The burn dialogue along the bottom still shows 627 items, but still burns the wrong folder, which is the top one in the recent items list. 627 is the number of photos originally selected, total library is over 15,000
    No matter what files I select, it still burns the same selection of Recent photos. Almost as if there is a Burn Cache somewhere that is not getting emptied. The files that it is incorrectly burning have never been burnt before, they were only imported to the machine last night.

  • I ordered an On Demand Movie ... But The WRONG MOVIE Appeared !

    We had decided to watch "Shutter Island". Searched for it by title and found it on the On Demand list. Clicked on the "OK" button to rent the film. But the wrong movie appeared! Something named "The Call". Pessed the stop button. Next the screen returned to a menu display that read on the right side of the screen "Shutter Island" followed by desription... "Directed Martin Scorsese,""starring Leonardo Diapprio," etc.  But a poster on the left side of the screen showed another movie completely, one named "The Call".
    I searched again for the title "Shutter Island."  This time I noticed that there were TWO movies listed as "Shutter Island." One displayed the wrong poster again, "The Call". The second on the list showed the correct poster for the film starring Leonardo DiCaprio. So I rented it, knowing that I'll br double-billed, and will now have to remember to check my bill and then call and argue with Verizon billing people.
    What a PITA.

    OK.  Now that makes sense and that's what I figured.  I will stick with my DVDs.  My DVD player still works very well and I have no intention of replacing it unless it goes. 
    I am really not a fan of *not* having a physical hard copy of music on a CD or a movie on DVD.  OK, so a movie you buy "on demand" gets stored on Verizon's servers but then what happens if there is a problem with the server or if you have to stop doing business with Verizon Fios because you move to an area where only cable is available?  Then what?  At least with a hard copy, it's always mine, it's durable, it can last forever, I can watch it anytime, and I will always have it to view regardless of what kind of system I have.  I think it's a lot nicer too to have a physical collection of music and movies.  It's tangible and it makes a statement about ourselves. 
    I think the quality of CD music is far superior than music that gets downloaded from Pandora and even with physical DVDs, I find they're much easier to control (with the pause and fast forwarding) on a DVD player. With an on demand movie that I rent, the pause button will only stay on for so long or if I stop the movie and come back to watching it later, I still often have to fast foward and back track to where I left off.
    I'm only mentioning this because there are pros and cons to any technological innovation and I don't believe that "newer" is necessarily better.  And far as having a hard copy is concerned, think of the reasons why we back up the files on our hard drives and why even in college, I always saved my papers on the hard drive and on a floppy disk.  OK, so now we have "flash drives" but in my honest opinion, the logic of keeping a hard copy for the long haul is really still the same in the end.
    It's just food for thought.   

  • IDVD burn has unwanted movies embedded on the DVD

    In iMovie, I created 4 separate projects, each 30 minutes of a vacation I took. I separated into parts 1, 2, 3 and 4.  I shred each iMovie project in the media browser and am creating a new iDVD project for each one.   Each 30 minute movie is to be a on a separate DVD. I burned part 1 and for some reason 2 of my other movie clips are showing up on the DVD as well. They don't have a button on the menu, but they are there on the DVD.  I don't know why this would be happening since all are separate iMovie projects and separate DVD projects.  The only thing I can think of is when I created the 2nd iDVD project I did "Save As" and I then deleted the button from the 1st one. So maybe the other movie was still embedded in that iDVD project even if there is no button? 
    Any insight would be very helpful...
    thanks!

    Hi
    Yes this sounds as the - iDVD BUG -
    By making an iDVD project then go back to the editor e.g. iMovie - then back to iDVD this BUG will ignite and lot's of things goes wrong.
    Else - it can be so that when You deleted Movie 1 button You did forget to Erase iDVD Assets too. Has to be done or If You make a brand new iDVD project for Movie 2 then You need not to.
    In all cases - easiest and most fault proof way is to make a brand new iDVD project for each Movie / Set of Movies (and never go back to editor).
    Yours Bengt W

  • Help please, burning the i-movie project onto DVD

    Hi - I'm brand new to all of this. I have finished creating my i-movie with divided chapters for i-dvd. Then I went to file/share/and sent the i-movie to i-dvd.
    Now what?? I've been looking over the support topics, but I dont want to do anything except burn my i-movie onto a dvd and keep the chapter markers that i saved. I don't know where to begin!!
    I guess I'm just having trouble getting started and making sense of it all. Can anyone help give me a jump-start please?
    Thank you!!

  • I just want to burn the main movie without themes or menus

    How can I do that using iDVD. That way it will play right away without being interrupted by menus.

    How to create a DVD in iDVD6 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.
    3. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: 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.
    4. 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:

    what is a screen shot?
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_shot>
    Read the intro and the Mac OS X section. When you compose a post, you may add a screen shot by clicking the camera button and following the instructions.
    Under the cricumstances, I think it's better to start a little further back.
    Quit all apps and restart the Mac.
    After you've logged back in, first check how much free disk space you have. In Finder, select your hard disk and choose File > Get Info. Look at the General section (if it's not expanded, click the disclosure triangle to the left of the word "General". Check the figure for "Available". If it's not al least 12GB, you need to clear up disk space. You should have at least 12GB free disk space to proceed. (This is not a carved-in-stone figure, but something that should keep you on the safe side. More is better; but there's no need to exaggerate.)
    Next, let's check the drive. Press the Option (⌥) key and click the Apple () menu. The first item on the menu should be "System Profiler…" When System Profiler is up and running, under "Contents" you should see the line "Hardware". If it's not expanded, click the disclosure triangle to the left of the word "Hardware". A few lines down, you should see "Disk Burning". Click on it. You should get the details of your DVD drive. "Burn support" should say "Yes"; "DVD-Write" should say "-R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW". If all that is correct, quit System Profiler.
    Next, start iDVD. If no project is available, it should show the opening dialogue.
    Click on Magic iDVD. In the Magic window, type a short name for "DVD Title". Let's say, Test.
    Drag your movie to the "Drop Movies Here" strip.
    On the bottom right there are two buttons, "Create Project" and "Burn". Click the "Create Project" button. iDVD should generate and save the project. The Project window should appear.
    Choose "Project Info…" from the Project menu. Check the choice for "DVD Type". It should be "Double-Layer (DL) - 7.7GB". If it isn't, make it so. Close the Project Info window.
    Now choose File > Burn DVD… Make sure the DVD you insert is indeed a DL (it should be marked as such, and the label should say something like "8.5GB data").
    If it fails as before, you should return to the project window. This time, choose File > Save as Disc Image… Save it to a convenient location.
    Open Disk Utility. Choose Images > Burn…, select the image saved in the previous step, and try to burn it. If it works, then the problem is with iDVD. (Keep in mind that a DL disc burned with Disk Utility may not work or may cause problems in a DVD player. This is only a test to try to isolate the problem.)
    If it doesn't work with Disk Utility either, then the problem is with the drive or the disc. Reset the SMC and try again.
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964>
    If it still doesn't work, try a different brand of discs, from a different manufacturer (and preferably manufactured in a different country).
    If several brands of discs fail, then the problem is likely with the drive. Get a lens cleaning disc and use it to clean the drive. If that still doesn't solve the problem, then it's probable that the drive is damaged and should be replaced. If the drive is old (4–5 years) the likelihood that it's damaged increases.

  • Put my iMovie (most recent version) onto DVD and it only saved half of the iMovie to the disc, is it possible to get the whole movie on 1 disc?

    Hi,
    I have made my imovie and burnt to DVD but the disc is onl 4.7 gb whereas the imovie is just over 9gb.
    Is there a way of burning the whole movie to the 4.7gb disc?
    if not do you know how to split the imovie and burn it in chapters?
    I should point out that, half of the movie successfully burnt to disc but stopped half way through, thus there is no issue with me or my computer being able to physically burn a disc, my issue is how to get the entire movie on a (or several) discs.
    I will happily split the movie if that is necessary.
    Thanks

    What's the playing time of your movie?  iDVD is only concerned with playing time.  It can burn up to 120 minutes of media, including menu playing time, to a single layered DVD disk with Professional Quality encoding.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    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, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is 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.

  • Many File Types dragged to iDVD, burned to DVD, won't play on DVD player

    I have made a recording on Camtasia (video, pictures and audio). My goal is to make it into a DVD that plays on standard players. Any format I have saved the file to is not working.
    Here's what I have done so far:
    From Camtasia I have selected Advanced Export and saved it as a MPEG4. Then learned that MPEG are not recognized by many DVD players.
    Then I did an Advanced Export and saved the file as Quick Time. Moved it into iDVD, burned the disk and again the disk won't play on either of my DVD players.
    I have done another Advance Export and saved the file as an AVI but now only the first 3 minutes of a 30 minute video are being captured.
    I know everyone can appreciate that each of these burn processes take a lot of time. I am doing them only to be disappointed (aggravated) that they won't playing on my DVD players (I have tried two). I am using Verbatim DVD +R.
    If someone uses Camtasia and iDVD that would be ideal. But at this point, I'd also be willing to try another program just to get the job done.

    Hi Vicadea
    Welcome to apple discussions. I've never tried Camtasia for Mac. Apparently it's not working very well for you even when you export as a QuickTime movie. I don't know what to say other than it seems like fairly pricey screen capture software ($299) just to have it not work as you expected on multiple attempts.
    For much less money and much more reliable results I'd recommend the following for screen capture instead:

    Hope this helps but if not just come on back. Good luck.

  • Burning a QT .mov file to CD for Windows use.

    I have tried burning a QT .mov file to CD for Windows use with Finder and with Toast T 6, Mac & PC option. I burned the QT .mov file and Windows QT Installer on to the CD with both above apps.. However, when I try to read the CD on a Windows PC, it doesn't see the QT .mov file. It did see the Windows QT Installer and you could use it to install QT for Windows on a Windows PC. What is up with the QT .mov file not showing up on the Windows PC?
    Thanks!!!
    G5 Dual 2.0Ghz Power Mac   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   2.5MB RAM

    OS 10.4.6 Disk Utility does give you the option for multisession burning. I used Toast T 6 and it's also suppose to support multisession burns. However, since you mentioned it, the file that you could see (QT Windows Installer) on the Windows PC was the second file I burned. The first file was the QT .mov which you couldn't see on the Windows PC. Maybe Toast T 6 has the same limitations as ver. 5? The only thing I can do is try to reburn the CD all in one session, i.e., with the QT Windows Installer and QT .mov file on the same session and see if that works. What do you think?

  • Created project in imovie. Trying to move to iDVD to burn. the project in imovies is great. When I view the project in iDVD the audio is messed up. What am I doing wrong?

    I created project in imovie 10. When I send it to idvd to burn copy the audio is not in right places. Some muted audio is not muted and other audio clips are with wrong video clips. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Help.

    I'm not sure what you mean by iMovie 10 (there is no such version). However, if you mean iMovie '09 (version 8) or iMovie '11 (version 9) there is a fix I can suggest.
    If you have used slow motion or fast motion in your video, you MUST use only the presets on the speed slider, which are: 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 200%, 400% and 800%.
    If you have used custom settings by manually entering speed percentages (different to the presets), you will almost certainly experience audio glitches in the exported movie. These glitches are not evident in preview (before sharing) but appear only in the exported movie (as you have experienced).
    The fix is to re-visit your project and adjust all speed changes to the preferred preset percentage. This can be a pain, as you may have to re-sync video and audio - but it is the only fix (unless you want to go through a very convoluted process). After adjusting the speeds to the presets, you will of course have to re-export the project.
    Note that the glitch is well known in iMovie '09, but may have been fixed in iMovie '11. Which version are you using?

  • My iDVD does not want to encode when I try to burn 2-part movies or series where I put 2 parts onto the disc. I was told before to use only Verbatim DVD-R, which I now do. Still having trouble.

    I was on here 11 months ago with the same encoding problem, where it would get to the encoding part of the burning and would stop, then up would pop up the "Open Finder" box, the one where it says you have put in an empty disc and would you like to eject it, ect.? I was told by the people I was in discussion  with that I should change from cheap dvds to Verbatim DVD-R only and I have, and  switch from "Magic iDVD" to "Create a New Project" and follow the directions there. I did that and for a while, it worked quite well. Now it doesn't. Once in a while there will be a newer movie that it will work on, but only a single and only a newer one that I have just downloaded. I download a lot of series from TV and used to have no problem. Is there any way to fix the encoding problem? I really need help on this and would really appreciate anyone who could give me assistance. And while I'm asking, are there any free cleaning services? I'm on a fixed income and can't afford to buy a computer cleaning service. I have gone to Disk Utility and gone through that, but that's all I can do.

    Hi
    There can be so many things that lead to this. As You download - then my first thought is
    In What Video-Codec ?
    There is no standard only out there but zillions of Codecs
    iDVD and iMovie are very selective in what they can use - sometimes they try and it looks like they manage - till the final DVD is to be tested in a standard DVD-player and fails.
    A. Open Your Movie (to be used) with QuickTime-Player (can handle so many more Codecs)
    B. If it play OK here - then Open Inspector [cmd+I] and read:
    Video Formatted (Codec) as: nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
    Frames per second: YY.yy
    What does they say ?
    Else what I can think of is in this note:
    Trouble-shooting guide
    When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
    • iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
    • Creating a new User-Account and log into this - forces iMovie to create all pref. files new and error free
    • Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
    • a Codec is used that doesn't work
    • problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
    • version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
    • preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
    • other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
    • External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
    ( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
    • USB-flash-memories - do not work (usually)
    • Net-work connected hard disks - do not work&#8232;(usually)
    • Run a Cleaning-DVD (no liquid - but the kind with brushes) - from time to time - I do
    • iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
    This You do by
    - close iPhoto
    - on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
    - now select all five options presented
    - WAIT a long long time
    • free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
    • external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
    • GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
    • Screen must be set to million-colors
    • Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
    • Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
    • Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
    • Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
    • In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
    (I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
    buenrodri wrote
    I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
    Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it
