IMovie to iDvd - No audio- disc image did not work-reopen iDvd files empty

I am making a 45 minute movie of a day at Disneyland. (My daughter wants it all so the editing is minimal)
I have tried to burn 3 times. each time takes about 12 hours.
first attempt had an error, i know not when, nothing burned to disc.
second attempt burned to disc, the 6.0 theme looked great, MP3 music played, worked on TV set
NO audio on the movie. trash the disc.
Third attempt burn to disc image. end up with two folders AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. the audio folder is empty. no image
All the audio in the movie is off the video tracks except for ONE sound effect.
Is that causing the problem? Is the update causing the problem?
When I reopen any iDvdproj the themes are all blank even if the project file size is 5.8 GB. that does not seem right.
I have another smaller project with the same problem, the iDvd files are blank when I reopen them.
Right now I am trying to compress the movie into a QuickTime file but all the options were confusing since I am not an expert. in another 6 hours I will have results I have no idea how big the file will be, but the image willl remain the existing size ?? I am afraid it will be too small.
How come it seems so easy to make a dvd to watch on you own TV yet so IMPOSSIBLE?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) iLife 06 updated

Hello Wade,
the problem seems to be the audio. Give us a little more info on what audio you used in the iMovie project (original audio, music, MP3, Aiff...).
Also: what audio setting does your camcorder have? Should be 16-bit, 12-bit is a big no-no with iDVD, see this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=494268&tstart=0&start=45
12 hours seem a long time to encode 45 min of video ... your mac should be able to do that in 4-5 hours max. I would suggest you convert all MP3 audio to AIFF before importing to iM.
If your original audio is 12-bit you can try to export the whole audio (original & music) via QT using the audio only option with 24-bit Integer, then re-import into iM.
Get the latest QT update, if you haven't done so already.
Also do some basic iDVD troubleshooting:
1. free some space on the startup drive (15-20GB recommended)
2. Trash preferences (com.apple.iDVD.plist) and empty trash
3. Repair Disk Permissions using Disk Utility
4. Clear Cache Files (Tools: CacheOutX, Onyx)
Have a look at what John Beatty says in this thread about iDVD trouble shooting:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=508221&tstart=0
Third attempt burn to disc image. end up with two folders AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. the audio folder is empty. no image
the AUDIO_TS folder being empty is perfectly normal for Video DVDs, only music DVDs have audio in that folder
hope this helps

Honestly i have a brand new iMac and lion has made start up extremely slow, and oovoo will not uninstall there is an error, so i tried to install java runner and the disc image is not working. i need oovoo someone.please.help.me.

worst $30 i ever spent. period.

Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

I recently tried to burn some photos to a disc. It did not work, but then I ended up with a .fpbf folder on my desktop. Can't trash it, and when trying to burn again, I get this "... can't be burned because the original items can't be found". Help???

I recently tried to burn some photos on a CD. For some reason, It did not work. Now I have a .fpbf folder on my desktop. I can't seem to get rid of it. I tried dragging it to the trash, but then I get a box asking my to type my password it, so Finder can make the changes. Doing so, does nothing at all. And when I try to burn another CD from the same .fpbf file, I get a the following message: "There are 35 items that can’t be burned because the original items can’t be found. Skip the items and continue burning?". When I skip and continue burning, nothing shows up on the CD. In the meantime, the .fpbf folder is still in my desktop. I tried changing the aliases on each pic, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas of how I can remove this folder from my desktop?
Thank you.

Beavis2084,
Thank you for your detailed explanation but something is seriously wrong with my computer. Although the method you have described is very similar to the one I tried in step 2 from my second post, I have since "done things" which may have complicated matters—or suggests that my computer has a more serious problem.
Here's what I did:
1). Installed Onyx and discovered that I had a .plist file (com.apple.iphotomosaic.plist) that was causing a Syntax error: "Conversion of data failed. The file is not UTF-8, or in the encoding specified in XML header, if XML." After doing some research online, I was given the understanding that downloading the iLife update 9.0.3 (I installed the more recent version, 9.0.4) would solve this problem because it would also fix some system issues. So, I downloaded it...and when it didn't solve the problem, I decided to just deleted that .plist file.
2). I read your knew post and decided to follow your directions, even though I realized they were basically the same steps I followed in the 2nd method I mentioned earlier. I say "basically" because, for some reason, after inserting a blank disc, my computer does not open the disc in the Finder. Instead, it places the blank disc's image on the Desktop, even though the Finder's Preferences and the System's Preferences are set to have it open in the Finder—nothing should be on my Desktop! (Note: When transferring the items (all folders) I want to burn to the blank disc, I did not use the Option-Click-Drag method as before, I used the Click-Drag method, which created the curved arrow in the lower left corner of each item.)
Now, for the result of "method 2," the method we basically have in common, the computer goes through the burn stage but, in the verify stage, tells me that it is unable to verify the disk, suggests that my DVD may be unreliable and that I should try another disc, and then tells me about some "fork" (?) error (-43).
I don't know what to do anymore...

Selected boot image did not authenticate. Press enter to continue

I just removed the stock HDD that came with my M4-1015x and now I'm trying to install windows 7 to the SSD that I replaced it with. However, upon boot up I get the message "Selected boot image did not authenticate. Press <enter> to continue" when the laptop attempts to read the OS from the disc. I've never seen this before... any help? (It's a legitimate DVD copy of Windows 7)
Thanks.
This question was solved.

I fixed it. Had to disable secureboot and enable legacy boot mode to get it to run.

My MAC did not come with IDVD, how to I get it?

My MAC did not come with IDVD, how do I get it?

Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie and iPhoto.
With iDVD you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.
IDVD is easy to get. It is available on disk as part of iLife 11.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

The form field arguments.image did not contain a file.

Hi there,
I'm getting a strange error with a simple file upload and I
can't figure it out for the life of me. It's odd, because old code
I have written before has worked fine in this area, and I really
honestly can't see where I am going wrong.
First the error:
The form field arguments.image did not contain a file.
The error occurred in
C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\red_roof_rentals\components\query.cfc: line
37
35 :
36 : 
37 : <cffile action="upload"
accept="image/jpg,image/jpeg,image/gif" filefield="arguments.image"
nameconflict="overwrite"
destination="#getDirectoryFromPath(getBaseTemplatePath())#\properties\">
38 : <cfset variables.image = "#file.ServerFile#" />
39 : <cfset variables.thumb = "thumb_#file.ServerFile#"
/>
I have researched this and found other people have had the
same problem - although please be aware that I do not beleive this
to be an issue with whatever version of CF I am running. I have
still not found an answer.
I have one template with my form called
"admin_create_property.cfm". When the form posts it invokes a CFC
method that uploads the file and inserts stuff into the database.
However, it dies at the file upload part with that bizzarre error.
There are only two files working in this:
admin_create_property.cfm
query.cfc
I will write the code out for these so you can see. Please
see attached code. Please note that I have taken out as much
irrelevant code as possible (html, doctypes etc etc).
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as I am
absolutley stumped to be quite honest. I've heard people say it
could be any of the following:
1 - Need to use enctype="multipart/form-data" - which I DO
2 - cffile filefield can't contain ## - which it DOESN'T
3 - Inut type must be file - which it clearly is.
Please please help, I feel stupid asking about this but I
need you guys more than ever!
Kind regards and thanks in advance,
Mikey.

I don't get what you mean as this is what I am doing.
<cfinvokeargument name="image" value="#form.image#" />
This takes the value of the image file field and passes it to
the CFC as an argument.
Am I doing something wrong with this? Sorry for my
stupidness!
Thanks for you help, further assistance would be greatly
appreciated.
EDIT: Interestingly enough, if I just use the tag on my
"admin_create_property.cfm" page instead of using the CFC method
like this...
<cffile action="upload"
accept="image/jpg,image/jpeg,image/gif" filefield="form.image"
nameconflict="overwrite"
destination="#getDirectoryFromPath(getBaseTemplatePath())#\properties\">
It seems to upload the image just fine. Why then would this
not work if all I am doing is simply passing to the CFC the value
of the "form.image" as an argument so that the file upload can
happen in my CFC instead of in the calling template??!
It's really bizzarre.
Mikey.

What if you have a situation where Restore did not work. I do. The ipad mini says it is disabled, connect to itunes. When connected, it says that it is locked! I have tried using Recovery/Restore but after it completed, the ipad mini still malfunctions. It does not allow you to start the device. The slide image keeps dancing around the screen. The opening page keeps changing in size and the keyboard types on its own! What can be done to fix this????????

Maybe a reset would help, to be followed by trying the recovery again.
To reset, hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then do the recovery.
If this doesn't solve it, I recommend visiting an Authorized Apple Service Center.

Conversion to WORD did not work; the MS is images that were scanned to create the PDF, what to do?

Conversion from PDF to WORD did not work. The MS was composed of images of each page (from a microfilm) that were scanned to create the PDF. What can I do?

Hi Arleen,
I'm so sorry to hear you are disappointed. It sounds like your PDF was originally a scanned document in photo type. Unfortunately those can be almost impossible to convert due to the converting not having actual text to grasp onto.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Kindest regards, Stacy

Can't open my note book. It says Selected boot image did not authenticate.

I dropped my note book on the floor, later when I turned it on it appears to give the message 'selected boot image did not authenticate. Press enter to continue' When I pressed enter the device shut downs. Please help with this problem.

your problem is due to Secure Boot it is a technology where the system firmware checks that the system boot loader is signed with a cryptographic key authorized by a database contained in the firmware in your case boot loader is damaged.
temporary solution:
go to bios and disable secure boot.
may this help
to use secure boot feature again you have to repair your boot loader.

TS3649 my mac (2012) did not come with idvd.where can i get this program for download?

My iMac os lion 10.7.2 (2012) did not come with idvd program. Where can I get this program for download?

Hi
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - a free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
• Free DVD Creator.app - free from Apple Store
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

Time Machine error - backup disc image could not be mounted

I have a LaCie external hard drive attached to my Mac and (through Time Machine) there are several other macs, including my own, which back up to this device (through the network).
One of the other macs has suddenly started to bring up an error message when it tries to back up - "backup disc image could not be mounted". But my mac is backing up without any problems. I've tried switching the LaCie on and off but it still won't back up anymore
Can anyone help?

BTW--when I go into finder and click on my .sparsebundle, I get the following:
The following disk images failed to mount
