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!

Disk Utility won't burn with external dvd burner!!! HELP?!?!?!

Hello anyone/everyone!
I need some help, I'm trying to burn a file using the disk utility. Only thing is that the disk utility wants to used the drive installed on my iBook (combo drive) and not my external DVD drive! I couldn't find a way to be able to chnage the default burner, and I was hoping that someone/anyone could help me out? The file is too large for a regular 800mb disk so I have to use the external dvd burner. Help me please oh wise-ones?!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Find out if the external burner is Patchburn compatible. If it is, then apply it from http://www.patchburn.de/
If not, I'd sell the external burner and get one that is compatible like those from http://www.macsales.com/
You may find other tricks on http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ as well.

if you want to use the same font but different size/color etc, just create a different textformat instance or you could re-use the one you already defined:
var font3:Font=new Font3();
var dtFormat:TexFormat=new TextFormat();
var dtText2:TextField=new TextField();
dtFormat.font=font3.fontName;
dtFormat.size=15;
dtText2.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
dtText2.defaultTextFormat=dtFormat;
dtText2.embedFonts=true;
var dtfFormat3:TextFormat=new TextFormat();
var dtText3:TextField=new TextField();
dtFormat3.font=font3.fontName;
dtFormat3.size=22;
dtFormat3.color=0xaa0000;
dtText3.autoSize=whatever
dtfText3.defaultTextFormat=dtFormat3;
dtText3.embedFonts=true;
it only gets tricky when you want bold or italic or bold and italic fonts embedded. those are different fonts and those need to be embedded seperately.

New samsung external dvd burner taking forever to rip a dvd on macbook pro. Please help.

Hello...the superdrive in my macbook pro died recently so I purchased an inexpensive Samsung SE-208DB/TSBS external dvd burner (with USB). It has been burning so far now about 14 hours and still on 55%encoding. I have 45 GB available on system and no other programs running at the same time. Not sure if it's something with the burner itself or with my mac. help please and thank you.

No, just a single USB, which, after reading some online comments elsewhere makes me wonder if it was a power-type problem with my mac. I think I'll have to return the drive..
thank you for the help...

I continue to get the error message registry settings used by itunes drivers for importing and burning CD's and DVD's are missing. Please reinstall itunes. Reinstalling itunes does not fix the problems

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

DVD Burn Folders....... Please Help

Recently, I tried burning a dvd with some coursework on for a deadline on my MacBook (10.4.11). Everything went fine until a clicked burn in the burn folder of the disk. there was an error each time i tried burning the DVD, even when i tried creating a new burn folder and deleting the old one. i have since managed to burn it to a disc but i have the annoyance of everytime i open up Finder, i find two burn folders down the sidebar, and when i click on them, they say they "cannot be found"
please help....

Hi
You can drag the burn folders out of the sidebar to remove them.
Do you remember what the DVD burning error was?

Has anyone used Wondershare DVD burning software on Mountain Lion please?

Have uopgraded to Mountain Lion and therefore lost iDVD. Is Wondershare DVD burning software linked to iMovie effective please?

Yes we had this issue too over a year ago and decided to research what would be the best alternate. We came up with Wondershare, see here http://www.burnworld.net/mac/wondershare-video-converter-ultimate-review.html

Topic: "Please insert a blank DVD-R disk". DVD burning prob

Hey everyone out there,
My imac is a week old now and i'm starting to experience dvd burning problems. Here is the low down. Used 1-step dvd feature in idvd5 to burn a mini-dv tape from my sony dcr-hc42. It burned succesfully on the 1st 2 tries. On the 3rd try it says to "insert blank dvd-r disk" and spits out the blank dvd. I've read different posts that say to try using dvd -r disks - only suggestion I could find. I have been using dvd -r disks - in fact I've tried 3 different kinds (sony, TDK, memorex) all with the same result. I also got a suggestion to dl toast and test the burner with toast - Same result. It won't even read the blank dvd-r in the drive. Is my burner having problems or is this a problem with ilife 5. It's still new and under warranty so I'll give apple a call and post their directions here. Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
Where would I be without this forums!!! (on my windows computer, bleh!) =)

Hey Jordan,
I dl'd patchburn and it does the same thing as it did with idvd and toast. It says "please insert a blank dvd-r disk" then ejects the disk. D'oh!!! I just finished talking with apple tech support and here's the low down:
we tried reading the blank disk with finder. Wouldn't even show up on desktop. Then we popped in a movie dvd - read just fine. We went in to system preferences (cds/dvds) - everything a ok. Finally, popped in the mac os disk and did a new archive install - same result =( The tech told me to take it into an apple store which I will be doing soon. Their explanation was that since it was reading the data dvds fine, the problem was the head that detects blank dvds was malfunctioning ( i guess it has 2 heads - 1 to read the data and 1 to detect blank disks). Either way it's covered under warranty ( 1 week old) so hopefully they'll take care of it. I'll post more news once I get it back - crossing my fingers X .....
By the way, thanks for the replies. This forum system is awesome.

I need a good DVD burner I tried roxia but not user friendly - I have read a lot of about iLife which includes a DVD burner - it is discontinued but still available from other sources - please advise

I need a good quality dvd burner - not happy with the free downloads - I have read a lot about iLife which apparently inclues a good reliable

You need iLife '09 which includes the complete iDVD app and associated menu themes.
Found here.

G5 DVD burner error message? Help please?

I get this error message when I try burning a 1gb quicktime movie to dvd on my pre installed standard burner. Thanks in advance
the link below is a screenshot of the error
http://www.darkstargraphics.com/dvd_message.gif
Im at a loss and ready to by another
below is the dvd burner profile
PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D:
Firmware Revision: A606
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
Cache: 2000 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW
Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
Media: No

The error "internal target failure" appears on PCs using this drive as well, so it appears that it's not a Toast specific error.
However, in my browsing, no one seemed to be able to tell if it was a true hardware failure of the drive, or if it was caused by poor quality media.
I'd try other brands of media and a lens cleaner before flashing the firmware. And, if you do decide to flash the firmware, the current, official firmware for that drive is here. The link in MLCinma's post contains hacked (region free) firmware and is outdated in any event.
Let us know what brand of media you're using and what speed you're burning at.
The DVR-106D has had lots of reports of failures, so it could very well be the drive. At least a replacement DVR-111D will only cost you about $40 - $50.

Please recommend best DVD burning program and external burner

My FCPX "Share" will no longer burn a DVD on my MacPro 1,1 via the "DVD" destination. However I can send it to "Master File" and it will make a high quality .mov file. I've then tested using Roxio Toast on a 2 minute .mov clip and it did burn a DVD, but the quality was very, very poor. (Much worse than the DVD that I used to be able to get via FCPX Share).
Your thoughts on: 1) Why does FCPX --> Share --> DVD no longer work/ how to fix it? and 2) Can you recommend the best DVD burning program and external burner? With thanks! Duncan

Toast should give you the highest possible quality so you are obviously doing something wrong.
The only thing I don't like about Toast are the menus . . . which are total rubbish compared with iDVD.
You should also be able to burn DVDs from FCP X so once again you are either doing something wrong or there is a problem with your FCP X setup or computer.
Try trashing the preferences using this free app.
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
1. Ensure that FCP X is selected.
2. Click Trash
The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.
There is absolutely no danger in trashing preferences and you can do it as often as you like.
The preferences are kept separately from FCP X and if there aren't any when FCP X opens it automatically creates new ones . . . instantly.

DVD BURNING QUESTION PLEASE

I have an Intel IMac with the super drive. I'm not all that familiar with burning technique but have read up a bit on it.
What I'd like to do is burn a DVDRW with data and add to that same disk as new data becomes available; in other words multiple burn sessions on the same disk.
In checking I see I can use either +DVDRW or -DVDRW. First of all is one superior to the other for my system?
Secondly, will the burn software in OSX 5 support my multiple burns on the same disk or do I need third party software for multiple burn sessions? I'd prefer not to use third party software if possible.
Suggestions and comments are appreciated.
Thank you
Dudley Henriques

Toast is a fine program, it is pretty much the standard every other OS X DVD program is judged by.
I don't do enough CD/DVD burning to Justify owning it myself, especially since I already own Nero
(The Windows CD/DVD burning program). I can burn CD/DVD's in Windows running under Parallels
Desktop with Nero.
The only real problem with using Disk Utility is that there is only partial support (in the GUI Version)
for iso joliet (PC) based CD/DVD disks. The command line version (hdiutil) has good iso support, but
burning disks from the command line is a pain, even for me, and I do a lot of stuff from the
command line.
I do see a copy of Toast in my future, whenever Blu Ray Disks become more affordable.

HT1645 Hello, does anyone know of good DVD burning software for Mac? I've got two 8 min 25 sec mov files to put on a DVD with title and a menu for the two. I've tried it with iDVD five times, each time waiting over an hour and then getting an error mess

I have a short film I produced and I need to burn off copies however I am having no end of trouble with finding a simple DVD burning programme.
I tried a few but no luck. I am trying with mov files and I can't see where the cog is happening. If anyone has any good and relatively inexpensive solutions, please let me know!
Thanks so much!
Cheers

Welcome to the forums.
If you'd like to continue trying with iDVD, one of Apple's resources shows HT 1645 to be an encoding error (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1645), so I would suggest starting a new iDVD project and set the iDVD Preferences to make sure they match to your project. In particular, you should be using the Pro encoding setting or Best Performance for projects with a total length under an hour (http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5417).
Roxio Toast is an excellent burning tool and part of my work flow after I've used iDVD to create a disk image. Toast will not have the nice iDVD menus, but can do many other tasks besides DVD creation. (Disk images can help in the DVD creation process -- here's one of many discussions: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15469221#15469221)
