Multiplex Error - While Burning Disc Image

I've been trying to burn an hour and a half dvd using idvd '08 on professional quality, coming from and AIC HDV project in final cut express 3.5. It takes around 5 hours to encode and then for the third time it's given me a multiplexer error at the end. Is there anyway to solve this?
Thanks,
Mike

Do you have 20GB+ free on your start-up drive? Do you have any external HDs attached?
Your MacBook Pro hasn't frozen up while encoding?
There is 10.5.2 available today.

Error when burning disc image

An error occurred when I tried to burn a disc image of a DVD slideshow. The slideshow has 324 slides in it and is almost 38 minutes long at the moment. I have added sound by creating a sound track in iMovie using a combination of songs downloaded from iTunes and tracks from my own CDs then blending the two blending the two. The slideshow plays on the computer and I have burned a disc image two or three times as I was creating it.
Any advice?

I have burned a disc image two or three times as I was creating it.
Can you clarify what you did exactly? You mean you saved the project as a disk image, then went back and did further work on the project?
The audio tracks you imported from iTunes may have been copy protected and will not burn in iDVD. The workaround is to burn those tracks to an audio CD in iTunes, then re-import into iTunes from that CD. Then will transfer to iMovie and iDVD without problems.
Also, something here may help:

IDVD 7.0.4 crashes while burning disc/image

When I try to 'burn' my project to disk or 'save as image' iDVD 7.0.4 crashes without any warnings after rendering the menues right at the beginning of the video render.
Main video in project is AIC (758x592, Quality: middle, Progressiv/Linear PCM, 48 kHz, 16 Bit) exported by iMovie'09 with some chapter markers and video-enhancement as recommended in the forum for best quality and then imported into iDVD.
Earlier project shared to iDVD directly from iMovie burned without problems. Can the codec be the issue? Dropzones use certain parts of the same videofile and they render without problems, I can see them completed in the iDVD-project-package.
Additional questions:
1. why is the file exported with iMovie that large (also with successful project; eg.: orig. file 3, 98 GB, exported file 11,95 GB)? (chapter markers and video-enhancement for the whole file?) Makes archiving a trouble.
2. is there a way to replace the main video in the iDVD-project without distroying the manual menu-/text-/... edits (more titles on one menu, etc.) I made earlier? When I import a whole new videofile in another format (for testing the codec issue), iDVD takes the chapters once more and creates the template-conform menues again, partly overlaying my older ones.

Just to offer condolences. I have been greatly disappointed in iDVD -- crashes more often than burns successfully. Lots of wasted time waiting for a burn to be successful, only to find toward the end of the process, I get a msg "rendering" a problem, or couldn't complete, or crashes and then I have to stand on my head to get the DVD to eject. Have the issue both with movies I've downloaded to iPhoto and with photos downloaded to iPhoto that I've turned into Slideshows. Wish I had awnsers for both of us -- or however many of us that are out there....

Errors while burning?

I just put together a pretty simple, one-track video on iDVD and while it was burning, I got a message saying something like "errors while burning" - I did not save the exact message, but I'm wondering what the cause for this might be. I actually closed out of the DVD project, took it to the trash, and recreated a new DVD project out of the iMovie project. I thught this would fix the problem, but there were still errors while burning the second time. I tried to play the DVD and the system would not read the DVD, there was no picture at all. Any suggestions? (I have more then 25GB of free space on my hard drive - about 35 I believe)

You're welcome. Here's a bit of background:
a) I use MacJanitor to trigger the Mac's maintenance scripts (download it from VersionTracker.com), and then use Apple's Disk Utility (look in Applications-Utilities) to repair permissions on your main hard drive. Your Mac would do maintenance tasks by itself if it was turned on continuously, but MacJanitor lets you run daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance tasks (I run it before I do something big, or when my Mac seems slow or goofy). Disk Utility can do first aid on hard disks, and on your main hard drive (boot drive), it can Repair Permissions (It's important that permissions are correct).
b) Creating an image file is often recommended in these forums because it gives you more control over the burning process, and it creates a virtual DVD that reliably can be tested. In iDVD, choose Save As Disc Image and iDVD will go through the encoding and other processes, except the DVD is created on your Desktop. You can use Apple's DVD Player to play the virtual DVD and make sure it works like you want. When you're satisfied, Disk Utility can be used to copy the virtual DVD to an actual disk. To do this, choose the image file in DU and click Burn (you'll have some options for burn speed -- I'd choose something slow to reduce burning errors -- perhaps 1x or 2x but wouldn't go faster than half the rated speed of the burner).
Shout if you need clarification.

Burning disc image with encryption

I've been burning disc images thru idvd's interface for a while. I just noticed in disk utility the option of encrypting the dvd (AES-128), to prevent access to contents, files, etc., which might be useful when making customer copies.
Is this something anyone is using?

Are you referring to data dvd's?
To the best of my knowledge, Data Dvd's may work well on your mac but they do NOT play back on most set top dvd players.
It is possible to encrypt data to a dvd BUT it is Not possible to encrypt an entire iDvd (at least not in terms of preventing duplication /playback on a standard Dvd Player/recorder) in the same manner as a commercially pressed DVD function which are copy protected (CSS) when mass replicated.
They are two entirely separate forms of encryption.

Error while burning itunes playlist

I've burned many discs in the past from itunes playlists. However, now I am getting an error. The songs are successfully copied to the disc, but when I drag the disc icon to the trash (where the burn symbol shows up) it seems to start to work but then I get the following error, "An error occured while burning disc. This disc cannot be used." I tried several different discs CD-R and CD-RW. I tried using disc utility to burn. I CAN burn other files like word documents etc. It seems to just be songs that won't burn. I recently updated to itunes 7. Any advice?

Please note, I have read through all the trouble shooting help. I have the preferences set to burn "audio CD" which seems to be the problem for others. aaargh! Really frustrated!

Hi Satish,
I have set the raw value as 3600 but still its gives the same error only. When I debug the procedure its throwing the error stack in
SYS.htp.prn procedure of the following line of code
if (rows_in < pack_after) then
while ((len - loc) >= HTBUF_LEN)
loop
rows_in := rows_in + 1;
htbuf(rows_in) := substr(cbuf, loc + 1, HTBUF_LEN);
loc := loc + HTBUF_LEN;
end loop;
if (loc < len)
then
rows_in := rows_in + 1;
htbuf(rows_in) := substr(cbuf, loc + 1);
end if;
return;
end if;
Its a system procedure. I don't no how to proceed .. I am really stucked on this....is their any other method to take picture from the database and displayed in the web page.....???? any idea..../suggesstion??
Thanks for your help!!!.

Multiplexer error--can't burn disc image from iDVD

Originally FCP. to QT. To iMovie. Added chapters--left auto-generated numerals. Imported to iDVD thru Media Browser..
Film is 53 minutes plus menu (includes 3 minute silent footage in single drop box).
console reports the error as : "7/12/10 9:22:56 AM [0x0-0x418418].com.apple.iDVD[49872] terminate called after throwing an instance of 'M2V::Exception'"
What is an M2V::Exception?
Is the only work-around to drop out the chapters? And will that work. I have done Disk Repair and Restart.

I redid the movie without chapters. It wrote the disc image.
Now it is not writing to re-writable DVD. Here is what console said:

Error While Burning to Disc

I've tried to burn two separate DVD files to disc using iDVD 5.0.1. Both times a dialogue box came up saying "Burning Finished. Errors were found during the burning process" The recording device reported the illegal request: Cannot write medium – incompatible format. (0x30, 0x05.)"
Any ideas on what this means and how I can fix it?

I've used Memorex a couple times and it was okay, but others have reported problems. Never have used Staples, but even the best brands regularly go on sale around here at good prices. If it's something important, I'd recommend buying a top brand on sale (very little price penalty).
Here's my flock of ideas to try before Thanksgiving -- if I was to guess, I'd say your hard drive went to sleep and caused the error -- but here's my burn process:
Do something small first; get some experience before you need to do a big project.
Lots of memory helps; and you'll need 10-15 gigs of free space on your main hard drive for scratch space while iDVD is working.
Buy good quality disks - I've seen recommendations for Maxell, Sony, Verbatim, TDK and a few others based on testing. I primarily use the first two and usually don't have trouble.
Give yourself lots of time.
Turn off your screen savers and energy savers; don't let your hard drive go to sleep.
Get your computer healthy and ready for some heavy lifting. (video work could be the hardest job your computer can do) MacJanitor followed by Apple's DiskUtility's Repair Permissions is my routine.
Most of the time iDVD is working, it is encoding (compressing) your video to fit on the DVD. Reduce the errors in this process by creating an image file (by using the Save as Disc Image command), and use Toast or Disk Utility to burn it to disk. Burn slow (1 or 2x).
I keep my projects under 60 minutes (for highest resolution).
Try testers; you can use DVD-RW.
I import into iDVD rather than export from iMovie (fewer errors).
No other apps open.
Let it encode and burn while you go to bed; it can take awhile, esp. on older Macs.
If you use iDVD for burning the DVD (and don't make a disk image), don't quit iDVD even when the DVD is burned, until you've played the DVD in a regular player (it's much easier to burn another disk and check to see if the problem was a bad disk, than to go back through all that encoding again by quitting iDVD).

Error -8785 while burning disc 2 of 3 during Back Up to Disc...

I regularly back up my iTunes library to DVD media-i hadn't done it in a few months and when I went to do so today using regular HP DVD+R discs that I've used before for this, the first disc burned fine (I needed three discs total, per iTunes). Discs 2 and 3 immediately failed with a -8785 error code. I restarted my MacBook Pro and used different discs, and keep getting the same thing. It looks like iTunes is fine with the first disc I burned as backup since it now says only two discs are required for the incremental backup. But I can't backup my iTunes library to disc (apart from, say, data discs). Disc 1 in this series, incidentally, was disc 30 for my collection, so I'd like to keep it going. I'm using iTunes 10, but I don't think that's the issue, since the first disc burned fine. Suggestions? Thanks.

I had the same, Error -8785, error while writing an MP3 CD. I found this post during a Google Search: http://lists.apple.com/archives/quicktime-api/2007/Apr/msg00110.html . Some of the names on the tracks, and the comments were very long, so I shortened them. Then it worked.
I hope this helps.

Video freezes when burning disc image

Hi. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem when making a disc image? I created movie in imovie and saved it as a dv (which I do all the time). After creating an idvd menu, etc., I save it as a disc image. But when I test the movie in dvd player, it works for a while (in this case about 8 min) and then the video freezes. I can still hear it though.
I did a few others a couple months ago and they were fine. This movie is 1 1/2 hours and another was 1/2 hr. and both froze about the same times.
I don't know if it's a system error that may just need idvd to be re-installed or something else.
If anyone has a solution to this, please let me know. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

Thanks for your comment but the problem exists even BEFORE I burn it. I do the test from mounting the disc image and it's there. I think it's happening when idvd is encoding the movie for the disc image, but I don't know why.

Error while burning a movie to DVD using iDVD

I have burned a 2 other movies this week but the last movie I tried to burn didn't work. I tried 3 times (once after restarting the computer and once starting over from iMovie) but each time I got the same error at the end.
Multiplexer Error
The was an error during building. The discs is still untouched and may be reused later.
Thanks for any help.

I had that problem until I remove a good deal of stuff from my 500 GB drive and left about 100. I hear from this forum you need at least 25 GB free. Try it...see if that works....also, burn at the slowest speed possible.
