Incomplete BD Burning

Further to my previous problem with my TV player not playing a PE9 made BD disk, I examined the disk with Imgburm and it reports that the disk status is 'incomplete'. The M2ts file plays through to the last fadeout on my computer and in a Panasonic TV player but not in my Pioneer player.
This suggests that there IS something wrong with how the disk was burnt even though PE9 announced that the burn was successfull.
Is there some sort of 'finalalisation' process I have to follow after the burning is reported as having finished like there was with DVD's ?
The burner is capable of 8x but I used a 4x disk assumed PE9 would automatically select the appropriate speed. If this was a problem you would think the computer would not be able to play the disk either.
What do I do next?
This is the Ingburn report:-

I don't know if Premiere Elements is smart enough to burn your disc at a reduced speed.
Does the disc play as it should when you play it in your computer? If it plays on your computer but not on your BluRay player, that would indicate that it's either a media problem (the disc was burned too quickly, for instance) or your disc player can't play home-burned discs well.
I don't know of any way to get around these problems using Premiere Elements. But you can do what many people on Muvipix.com do: You can supplement Premiere Elements with DVD Architect Studio, a $39 download from Sony.
DVD Architect Studio is a dedicated DVD and BluRay authoring program that's got all of these settings, a much deeper authoring system and a nearly flawless core. I usually do my editing in Premiere Elements and then use Share/Computer/MPEG 1440x1080 to create an M2T file -- then DVD Architect Studio takes it from there.
I've also written a book and created a series of tutorials for the product, if you'd like to know more about it.
It would certainly solve your problems -- assuming your disc player is truly capable of playing home-burned discs.

Incomplete DVD burning - SHORT CONCISE ANSWERS, please.

DVD ejects with 7 minutes remaining, but it reads 'Done.'
I deleted com.Apple.iDVD.plist in Computer > user > Preferences. It didn't work.
Memorex has worked well with previous projects, and I don't understand why brand names would affect the outcome.
Your TERSE impute is greatly appreciated.

I used to use Verbatim, but then switched to Memorex because I read that the brand might be the problem, but in the thread I had read that from, it hadn't mentioned names of brands.
I have 66GB of space, and I had more prior to today's attempt at a new project.
I'll try to set the burn speed down and see how that goes. Thank you!

ITunes 10.6.3 keeps generating incomplete downloads AND it rearranges the order of the playlist when I burn a playlist to an mp3 cd

iTunes 10.6.3 keeps generating incomplete downloads AND it rearranges the order of the playlist when I burn a playlist to an mp3 cd.
I purchased an album on iTues from my MAC book Pro & the song downloads were incomplete. The song length shows correctly in the column, but they cut off between 1/4 & 1/2 way through the songs. Now, I dwonloaded it on my iPhone 4 through my itunes account after the purchase & the songs play fine. This happened with the very next song I purchased, as well.
I got around this issue, then created mp3 versions of all the songs, put them in their own playlist, then "Burned an mp3 disc." When it completed, the songs were in a different order.
Are there any fixes for either of these problems/bugs?

Image Incomplete Message during burning process

HI All,
I have had this problem pop up a few times as of recent. I get an image incomplete during the burn process when running IDVD 6. It has happened on 2 different projects on 2 seperate occassions. I was eventually able to get it to work but am I missing something or doing something wrong?? Thanks for look
Joe

You may need to force quit iDVD (appleoptionesc).
If you do force quit, make sure to run apple's Disk Utility afterwards to repair permissions on your main HD. In fact, I would do it regardless ...might help resolve some issues here.

Why is iDVD burning incomplete?

I imported and edited my video in iMovie HD. I shared the video to iDVD and when I set everything up in the menus and all that, I burned my video and it ejects the blank DVD before it even starts burning. It ejects the disc at the "Multiplexing and burning..." stage, with a "Time remaining: about one minute". It says it's already done burning, but there is no burn mark on the DVD itself—it is still a blank DVD. I tried everything, I've gotten a few DVD's to burn, but some just won't burn.
How can I fix this issue?

Hi I managed to finally solve the problem and it was a simple DVD disc changing. SDMacuser reminded me of the speed of the DVD disc they have. The one I have is a 4X. I used a Fujifilm DVD+RW (no speed written on the disc).
What I did was a mix method as suggested on different postings:
1) Exported to idvd from imovie, with chapters. Change the navigation text. From +Why is iDVD burning incomplete?+ (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1991062&tstart=15)
2) I burn a disk image as J Keller suggested, and used Disk Utility to burn onto the DVD disc. From +Idvd ejecting while in the burn stage+ (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10293881#10293881)
I also burn successfully directly from iDVD using the faster speed DVD disc. So i would encourage everyone to check the burning speed of their DVD discs. It is usually written in big letters on the DVD disc surface: a number with a capital letter "X" as a metric. Eg. "2X", "16X". This might be the key to the incomplete burning problem.
I wasn't able to burn from iDVD to my DVD disc (with speed 4x), even after i have changed the burn speed settings of iDVD to 4x and 2x. Therefore i concluded that the problem is my disc.
How to change burn speed settings on iDVD:
-iDVD>Preferences>Advanced>Preferred DVD Burning Speed.
Lastly, the resources here really helped. Would encourage everyone to read thru the posts patiently. Most sincere thanks to everyone who contributed.

Burn Failure - Image Incomplete

I'm having trouble burning a DVD. Done this lots of times before with other projects but this is the first DVD made of up entirely photo slideshows rather than movie and slideshow.
The burning proceeds fine until the 'cleaning up' stage, which fails. The disc spews out, an error message telling me that the image is incomplete appears and then nothing happens. I have to force quit.
The DVD works fine, except that the last of three sections doesn't work properly. The menu motion works. The buttons are all there, but they don't do anything. The photos files of these slideshows are on the DVD, but saved with their original titles rather than the changed titles that I have given them (and they still have) in iPhoto.
I've checked the log. Burning finished. I've repaired permissions. I've deleted the iDVD plist and restarted,
Any ideas?

Save as Disk Image worked and revealed the problem with the other method. I can't burn the finished disk image to DVD because it is 8.5GB. Why then does the iDVD status window say that its 3.8GB and attempt to burn it?
I will obviously have to trim the DVD - slit it on to two discs maybe. I have multiple slide shows and have added all the files to the DVD, which obviously causes the problem. All the original photos are included as well, even though I have not selected this option. In addition, all the photo titles have reverted back to the original imported names rather than those I have given the photos in iPhoto, which makes having the files on the DVD less useful as an archive anyway.
Thanks for your help. The saving as a disk image at the burning stage was a new thing to me.

ITunes burns incomplete disk

Hi. I have 10 .wav files that I downloaded (legally), which I imported to iTunes v. 7.6.2 (9). When I burn the disk, it appears to be OK. But only the first four tracks were burned. If I try to play the later tracks, it skips over them like they're not there. Also, in the middle of the fourth track it is incomplete. The disk drive tries to play it but cannot and endlessly tries, so I need to reboot the computer.
When I click on the later .wav files (before they're recorded to CD), they are playable. So it's a problem with the CD or the burning, not the files. I have a Mac Mini running iTunes v. 7.6 and I tried burning the disk...all 10 tunes are burned and playable.
This points to something with my computer, or the latest version of iTunes 7.6.2.
Please help.

Upgraded to iTunes v 7.6.2. Tried to backup purchased songs from iTunes and the first disk (DVD) completed. Entered second DVD and was alerted that speed was incompatible. After three coasters and write speed set to 2x, still producing coasters with same problem. Always faults on second DVD. Haven't made coasters in a long time until v7.6.2 upgrade.

ITunes burns incomplete data DVDs (without reporting error)

I have a playlist with 908 songs (3,63 GB) I want to copy over to a data DVD. When iTunes finishes burning the data DVD+R, I get only 272 files (1,09GB). iTunes does not report any error at all: it finishes burning without a problem and generates an .XML file listing only the files it did copy to the DVD.
Has anyone seen this? Any explanation or solution? I am using the latest version of iTunes (6.0.1) and, apart from this, do not experience any problem with the DVD recorder.
Thank you.

When I open iTunes7 I receive an error message stating that drivers are missing; iTunes7 cannot import or burn CDs or DVDs without them.
was this your precise message?
"Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs & DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
if so, see:

if you're getting a somewhat different message, would you mind telling us precisely what it says? (it's best if we aren't "guessing" what your problem might be.)
sometimes it's easiest to send us a screenshot of the error message box. for instructions, see this user tip:

Burning Disc "incomplete disc name" error

When I select an event and try and burn it to a disc it works right up to the time that I try and burn the disc then I get the above error message even though there is the automatic naming in the box at the bottom. Attempts at renaming continue to get the same error message.
Any thoughts as to how to solve this?

Are you using any special characters in the Event names?

Put old I life on new computer now I photo dosn't work it says cant open because it may be damaged or incomplete so all my pictures can not be accesed how do I get back to I photo or take what I installed off with out losing all my pictures?

I got a new Mac and was trying to burn from I movie to get it to a disk but new I mac dose not have I DVD . So I had my old I Life 11 disc with I DVD on it and I installed it, when I did this it did something to my I photo I can not open it at all it has a message that reads ,you can't open the application IPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete . Now I can not get or see any of my photos how do I reverse what I did? can I take that I Life back out and how? with out losing all my pictures? and how do you burn to DVDs now without IDVD?

Diane,
Your photos are in the iPhoto Library. Almost certainly that is intact, so don't worry.
Go to your Home folder and open the folder called Pictures. What you want is in there, iPhoto Library. Don't do anything there, this is just to reassure yourself.
So it is a matter of getting the iPhoto app to work. Apps are in the Applications folder. Find it and trash it.
Next download iPhoto:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iphoto/id408981381?mt=12

While importing and burning some CDs, my entire library has disappeared. Also, there no longer is a "burn file to disc" command in the File menu. I have downloaded the latest version of itunes which restored only tracks I bought from the iTunes store.

Also, the "burn playlist to disc" command has disappeared from the File options. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes but that only restored tracks I'd bought from the iTunes store. I also tried setting up another logon.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

My DVD burning problems solved....here's what I did.

Like some of you, I was having MAJOR problems burning DVDs. My initial setup was a dual 2.0 ghz G5 purchased in July of last year, so it came with a 8x burner and iLife '04 (iMovie 4.0.1 and iDVD 4.0.1). Seeing as how I have 1.5gigs RAM and a fairly new system running 10.4.3, I didn't think I was going to have any problems burning DVDs....
HA.
Nothing worked right......a 1-hour long project burned for more than 8 hours without finishing, or iDVD would quit for no reason, or the burn would fail. I noticed that Terminal said that during these burns it was only burning at 4x even though 47x was requested. Chapters were not working. Applecare was not helpful, only suggesting that I try to burn under a new user, and then call them back. That didn't work either.
I probably took the lazy man's way out, but I decided this waste of time was unacceptable. I went out and purchased a 16x SuperDrive Pioneer DVR-110D replacement from MCE for $92, and upgraded to iLife '05 for another $79. I installed the drive myself (VERY easy with the included instructions), and tried the new setup under a newly created user.....
PERFECT burning every time. Not only that, but Terminal showed a requested burn speed of 16x and a burn speed of 16x. A two-hour project is now burning in less than 8 minutes. Multiplexing still takes time, but it's less than 1 hour!
On an interesting side note: when I try to burn under my regular user name, I STILL get an burning error (says image not complete, or incomplete....something like that). But under the user name created just for burning I have no problems. The chapter problem was solved when I stopped putting a chapter marker at the very beginning of my iMovie projects, since iDVD automatically puts one in called "Beginning," which you can change to anything you want.
Maybe this will help others.....
Dual 2Ghz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3) 1.5 gigs RAM, iMovie 5.0.1, iDVD 5.0.1

it was only burning at 4x even though 47x was requested.
That's a issue discussed in the past.
It turns out that 8X DVD burning means about 47X CD burning - you were requesting 8X DVD but only got 4X DVD burning.
I haven't seen it discussed anymore so maybe Apple got around to eliminating that 'quirk' in terminology.
I suspect some of the early 8x DVD burners didn't perform as advertised. I'm glad your new 16X burner is working for you.

How do I burn a playlist from itunes to CD in same order as playlist?

My playlist has songs in the order I want them burned, but when I click burn it burns them in a random order onto the CD? I tried dragging the songs 1 by 1 to the CD icon on my desktop and numbered & organised them in the order I wanted them burned, selected them all and clicked burn in the CD window and it said it copied only 1 song. When I played the CD it was blank?? This question was answered in an earlier post but the answer was incomplete and vague and didnt help. I never had this problem before, is it a bug in the current itunes upgrade? Help me pleeease?

Usually, sorting on Artist or Album will show the correct order in which the tracks also are burned on CD.
If the tracks are burned out of order, the track numbers might be incorrect.
Sorting on the first column (with the numbers), allows you to drag the tracks in any order you want. iTunes will then burn the tracks in that order.
