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:
7/13/10 8:48:14 AM kernel Kext com.apple.filesystems.cd9660 did not stop (return code 0x5).

Multiplexing error when saving as disc image

I have a very simply IDVD project. There is no film just a slideshow.
I am trying to save the project as a disc image to my desk top. I have no other programs running, the MAC is set to never sleep and I have set the processor perfromance to highest.
The project fails to save with Multiplexing errors. Any ideas?

dpig,
Your digital image files may be to big. See Preparing images for DVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/17.html

How can I stop disc images from popping up when connecting a drive?

Hello,
I have an external hard drive with several partitions, all formatted as Mac OS Extended. Two of the partitions are disc images of the install CD's for Drive Genius and Data Rescue from Prosoft Engineering. When I connect the drive using a FW800 cable to any Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard, all of the partitions on the drive are mounted in the Finder and these two partitions pop up the window for the installer, as if I had inserted the CD. Is there a way to suppress these windows from popping up every time I connect the drive? Thank you!

Error #-34506 when burning a DVD from iDVD 5.0.1

Hi everybody,
Everytime I try to burn a a finished iDVD project (a big QuickTime movie), I get a message : "There were errors while multiplexing and burning", error#-34506. In reality the project wasn´t burned, the DVD is empty. When I burn a short slideshow - no problems. I tried different manufacturers of DVD-Rs to no avail.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
PowerMac 2GHz DP, 39 GB free harddisk space, MacOS 10.4.2, iLife 5, newest updates
Regards, Adam

I have the exact same problem. I am running a brand new iMac G5 2ghz with 10.4.2 and iDVD 5.01 and QT 7.03. I have tried it by importing my DV and MOV files into iDVD. Same failure with differnt media, even skipping one clip that I thought might be problematic.
Have further tried it with different compression settings in preferences... high quality vs. high performance. Same error.
Imported movies into iMovie and tried to run iDVD from there.... everything crashed. After a reboot, tried it again, and this time at least got a description of the error... something to the effect of "there was burning error but the disk has been untouched and can be reused, please try again..."
Am no trying to reimport clips into imovie, and export as one movie in both DV and MOV formats, to try it again..
Apple help couldnt even find the error number much less offer any other help..
IDEAS??

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.

I have Office 2011 which includes Word. Ever since downloading Mavericks, when I try to send a two-page word document, some recipients get only one page. Also sometimes when I burn an image from iPhoto on to a disc, only part of the image appears. Why?

I have Office 2011 which includes Word. Ever since downloading Mavericks, when I try to send a two-page Word document by email, some recipients get only one page. Also when burning an image from iPhoto (usually no larger than 1mb) on to a disc, only part of it appears. It appears to have been magnified so that only a part of the image appears. Can anyone enlighten me as to what is happening? And how to fix it??

Can't burn a CD from playlist I have reduced speed to 2 but can only burn part of playlist and a medium error occurs

Can't burn a CD from I tunes playlist, I have tried reducing speed to 2 but it will only record 11 of 19 tracks and it abort with a "medium Write error" message.
I have tried changing CDs but this doesn't make any difference.

From posts I've read all around the Internet, there does not seem to be a simple solution. The word "Medium" refers to Media (CD,DVD) So logically you'd think trying another brand CD would work, but you've tried that. Another alleged fix is reducing the write speed, and you've done that.
Other fixes that worked for a few people were cleaning the optical drive with a cleaning CD or gently spaying compressed air into the slot to clean out any dust buildup.
Searching these Forums will find a few threads on the topic (search "medium write error in iTunes")
Googling the same search criteria brings up a whole page.

Having problems burning/creating disc image in iDVD 6

I am currently experience new problems trying to burn or create a disc image in iDVD 6. I have successfully burned iDVD projects in the past with the same computer/iDVD 6. The iDVD project looks like it is processing normally, even creates a labled disc image- but when you click on it, it reads "My Great DVD", and the video and audio files are also unreadable or absent- the error message for the VIDEO_TS.VOB file I pulled up read, "There is no default application specified to open the document "VIDEO_TS.VOB".
My older son just got Toast 7 Titanium for me, so I have that resource. I also just bought extra memory to bring me up to 1.25 GB, and an external hard drive with 320 GB. I have a younger son and a friend who will need me to make a dance audition DVD for a CA college dance department that must be in So Cal by 1-19-07, so you can imagine I'm getting a bit nervous about this. I have verified permissions, reinstalled iDVD from the original, and re-done the original iMovie/iDVD project that first caused the problems- a 12.8 GB project (but have not re-done things since I got more memory on my computer). I don't know how big the audition DVD's will be, but estimate they won't be that big (hopefully), but will consist of many short clips/chapter headings. I know just enough about computers to know what I don't know, so would really, really appreciate some basic help!

My Great DVD", and the video and audio files are also unreadable or absent- the error message for the VIDEO_TS.VOB file I pulled up read, "There is no default application specified to open the document "VIDEO_TS.VOB".
I don't know what you expect. You're looking for a problem where there isn't one.
The AUDIO_TS folder SHOULD be empty and (unless you've installed spercial software) you WON'T have any application to open the VIDEO_TS.VOB.
If you want to play the disk image, open Apple's DVD player application and then use it to open the VIDEO_TS folder.

ITunes Won't Recognize Optical Drive / Can't Burn Discs.

Hi. I’m having some problems w/ an installation of iTunes on a Windows 64 bit PC. Specifically, when iTunes is installed, Windows 7 no longer recognizes the optical drive, and I can't burn discs via iTunes. I’ve attempted to implement all the solutions identified here,

, and still find myself trapped in a vicious circle; i.e., (1) with iTunes installed Windows 7 no longer recognizes the optical drive, (2) Upon clearing the UpperFilters Value of GEARAspiWDM in the registry at {4De36E965 … } Windows 7 functions as expected and I can play cds in iTunes, but iTunes produces an error messages at start up along the lines of “iTunes did not install properly. Or, there’s a registry error ” In either case, I am not able to burn cds via iTunes.
My most rigorous effort amounted to (1) uninstalling all Apple products and third party GEAR driver update software via Control Panel, (2) a registry repair w/ Registry Mechanic and (3) reinstallation of all identifiable Apple software. Still the problem remains.

Unable to create Disc Image from DVD

I get the following error when trying to make a copy of a family wedding DVD. I'm using Disc Utility and creating the image as a DVD/CD master (.cdr) file. It gets to about 3/4 of the way and then gives the following error.
The internal drive is a PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K05
Sep 10 22:13:24: Disk Utility started.
Creating Image “Wedding of xxx & xxx.cdr”

I've tried twice now and the same error. Looks like I might have to use Toast/Popcorn etc?
Thanks,

I do not know what that error means. However, if you open up the Disk Utility & go into it's Help Menu & in the search field type duplicating a CD or DVD. There you will find detailed instructions on how to create a disc image from a DVD.
Good possibility your answer may be found there and/or there may have been something you missed in creating a disc image.
Good luck.

Can't burn a CD from iPhoto to finder

I can't burn a CD from Iphoto to finder or from dropping the files into a folder on desktop ? The apple specialist couldn't do it either, what do I do?

Could you please describe what you - and the Apple person - did, and what happened.
The procedure I use is 1. with Finder active, click File and select New Burn folder. That produces this on my desktop.
2. Next I drag and drop the files I want to burn to that folder.
3. Then I select the folder, go back to File in the menu bar and select Burn... to disc.
After the burn is done I trash the Burn Folder (its contents are aliases).
Is that the procedure that did not work?

Can't burn a cd from elements 9 any ideas?

Can't burn a cd from elements 9 any ideas?
The problem seems to be that it will not display my devices for selection,

On a mac you can send the photos to imovie, iphoto, or iDVD if you have that. The only kind of video disc PSE can make (on either platform) is the horrible VCD format, which was never very good and is fast becoming obsolete. It's getting harder to find dvd players that can read that format.

I can't burn a cd from Itunes.

I can't burn a cd from Itunes....If I try to burn a playlist it says i need multiple cd's and I only have 5 songs on that playlist. If I try to burn it anyway it doesn't do anything.

BTW have tried two kinds of disks, one kind of which I have a burned playlist from last year so I don't think it is the disks.
