Multiplexer preparation error message

After transferring my iDVD 3.01 app from one G4 to another, I have prepared files on that machine for creating a DVD. When attempting to burn, I get an error message: "Multiplexer preparation error: Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets"
This is puzzling, as the sole movie file is 11 GB and it resides in a partition with nearly 10 GB of remaining space available. I tried deleting the file from the iDVD project and moving the file to an empty 38 GB partition and then reimporting it to the project - same message.
I should add that as there is insufficient space on the Mac HD (startup disk) I have installed the 1.+ GB iDVD app on the aforementioned partition, as well as the project files. The 2nd G4 is old, and the startup disk is only 20 GB, though of course I've since added more and larger internal disks.
Any help appreciated,
Keith

After transferring my iDVD 3.01 app from one G4 to
another, I have prepared files on that machine for
creating a DVD. When attempting to burn, I get an
error message: "Multiplexer preparation error: Not
enough free disk space for encoding the remaining
assets"
That's pretty clear isn't it? Not enough free space. Creating DVDs requires LOTS of free hard disk space!
This is puzzling, as the sole movie file is 11 GB and
it resides in a partition with nearly 10 GB of
remaining space available. I tried deleting the file
from the iDVD project and moving the file to an empty
38 GB partition and then reimporting it to the
project - same message.
Did you recreate the iDVD project in the larger partition? It's probably presently stored in the Documents folder on the boot partition.
I should add that as there is insufficient space on
the Mac HD (startup disk) I have installed the 1.+ GB
iDVD app on the aforementioned partition, as well as
the project files. The 2nd G4 is old, and the
startup disk is only 20 GB, though of course I've
since added more and larger internal disks.
Mac OS X likes to have from 10% to 15% of a hard disk kept free for OS use ( I assume this means the partition that contains the OS).

  • CoreAudio: Disk is too slow (Prepare)   error message?

    Hi,
    In a Logic project I'm currenly working on, each time I open the file and press play for the first time, Logic hangs for 15 seconds or so and gives me this error message:
    CoreAudio: Disk is too slow. (Prepare)
    (-10001)
    If I then stop, rewind and play again everything works fine. It only happens after this specific project is first opened and played.
    Any ideas what this could be about? Disk is definitely not too slow. I get the same error if I start at a one track passage or bypass all effects and then play.
    The file in question contains imported AIFF files, imported MP3 files as well 100 or so MIDI tracks.
    Logic version is 7.2.1.
    Thanks,
    Maarten

    It's in the energy saver preferences, uncheck spin down drive when idle thing.
    HOWEVER, I posted this in another post, there is a bug where external firewire drives are still getting spun down with this checked off. I reported the bug to apple, they asked for more info, they said thanks, and last I checked the bug was still open, which tells me it wasn't reported before, and they're actually working on it.
    So don't be surprised if unchecking the box doesn't fix it for your external drives.
    The trick I use to get around it is simply double click the file on the external drive to open the song. That spins the drive up pretty good because you have to open a finder window which has to list all the folders etc...
    hope this helps.

  • Dvd burn error--need help with error message

    Ok so I have read all the support articles and many of the discussions already posted...but still can not burn a dvd.
    so, I created a project on idvd, it just has two slideshows that I imported from iphoto. I could not burn the dvd directly from idvd, got the multiplexing/burn error message. I successfully created a disk image and was able to play it on my computer using the dvd player, I then tried to burn it using the disk utility and again got an error message after it started the writing proccess...the error said "The devise failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media" Does anyone know what this means??? I have lots of room on my hard drive and am using DVD-R sony dvds. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

  • HT1645 I had about 1:40 run time on my video for DVD and chose "professional" as I didn't need to rush. Got Multiplexer Error message. Found no reason or fix for this situation.  What am I to do to fix?

    This site doesn't seem to get answers.  I typed the problem above, then it asks same question before post. What help is that? Needs to be clearer what it wants from me.  Others seem to have same issues with iDVD's clarity of information.  I have been editing for 12+ years and still can't figure out solutions more than trail and error.

    Hi
    1:40 - can mean 1 sec 40 frames - or - 1 minute 40 seconds - or - 1 hour 40 minutes
    1 hour 40 minutes is 100 minutes and iDVD only cares about duration
    • Pro Quality encoding - up to 120 minutes (movie + menu) (menu can be 15 minutes or even more
    • Best Performances - up to 60 min. - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) up to 120 min. - slightly lower quality than above
    Reg "Multiplex Error" - This is a tough one and can have a lot of reasons. Read on
    Multiplexing error is a very complex problem due to many things (long long list following) - one common but not obvious reason is that material on the iDVD menu goes outside the TV-Safe area (or just touching it).
    So first - turn on TV-Safe area and move any object well inside of this.
    Wide screen stretched - usually (as I think) it is due to making a 4x3 movie in a 16x9 wide-screen project OR the other way around. This forces one to on flat-screen TV (or other) set the presenting view right - My has 4x3, wide-screen, zoom and auto-wide-screen and I have to switch this by my remote for some DVD I've made "wrong" way.
    Now my long long list on Multiplex Error
    LONG LONG LONG LIST
    Multiplexing Error
    PART One.
    Use of strange video/audio material e.g. .avi, .wmv, .mp3 etc.
    I only use.
    Video - StreamingDV (miniDV tape via FireWire) and
    Audio - .aiff (as on audio-CDs) (else converted to this .aiff 48KHz)
    Photo - .jpg (.bmp known problematic)
    Chapters !
    A.    Using strange letters in video project name e.g. +,/; etc. keep to a-z and 0-9 strange letters in project name e.g. +
    as described by Donnyboy69.  Does the title of your project have any symbols or decimal points in it. If so, that is why you are getting the error. I had a project that had a + sign which caused the same problem. I renamed it without the symbol and low and behold, it worked.
    B.    Location of Chapters
    • Can’t be at start or end of movie (Skip first/start one - iDVD sets this by it self. At the End - no need)
    • Not in a transition (or within 2-3 seconds from it)
    Important when from iMovie HD6 or previous - Now also observed when using FCE 4
    PART Two.

    Do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
    I always makes a DiskImage first and test this so that it runs OK
    I use only - Verbatim DVDs
    I use only - DVD-R
    I burn at an as slow speed possibly e.g. x1
    This gives good DVDs
    PART Three.
    Multiplex Error
    Chuck, Chicago 2/7/2009.
    Back again. Here is what I have found to work. I also have and use a LaCie DVD-R/RW DL external drive and a LaCie external hard drive as well. Since yesterday I have tried a few ways to burn a themed iDVD project having four 56 minute movies on it, amounting to 226 minutes onto a DVD DL disc, capacity 240 minutes. Apple tech support really didn't know what to do but gave me a very good tip. I had two options left. Apple tech support's tip was to try disc image. One of the replies on a thread with this subject said not to, but my experience today is good. Put your project onto "Burn to disc image," under "iDVD, file." Yesterday encoding took me 23 1/2 hours. Overnight for iDVD disc image, encoding took 21 1/2 hours (again) while I slept. This morning I tried to copy/burn disc image to a DVD with Roxio Toast 7, and it stopped near the end of the burn with some kind of "error" message. So then I tried Utilities> Disc Utility> Burn icon, and followed it through. Be sure to click the DVD DL drive in the window "Burn disc in.". I had one other problem though. At the end of a 46 minute copy, it started to verify, and at the end of verify it rejected the burn. So I tried again, and when "verify" appeared, I clicked on "Skip." The disc finished burning and is doing fine and well. A long and tortuous process, but at last something works. I made several additional copies using Disc Utility. Best wishes. Chuck, Chicago.
    2. Disconnect any other external devices not absolutely needed.
    e.g. external USB/USB2 hard disks, other FW hard disks etc.

    (Not a 'guy' but I will answer!)
    First, I do not think that mixing wide-screen and standard makes a difference in iDVD.
    Second, you should use a better brand of DVD disk. Also, many of us have experienced fewer problems on playback with DVD-R disks. Recommended brands here are Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden. Memorex and TDK are not consistent and may not give you a correct burn. They apparently have fewer layers in the composition of the disk. I have always used Verbatim DVD-R disks and have not had any burn problems.
    Also, choose a slower burn speed, 4x or less.
    Third, to determine if the iDVD project will burn properly, create a disk image file (from within iDVD, go File->Save as Disk Image) and test it. Mount the disk image and then open DVD Player (in Applications) and view your project. If it plays correctly, you can then burn the actual DVD disk from the disk image file using Disk Utility.

    I did everything I've seen suggested, but a friend (who used to be an Apple Genius) suggested that I do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
    It worked, and I got a clean burn from iDVD.
    Hopefully this can help other people.

    Well, I finally got it, and it was odd enough to post here incase anyone looks this topic up again. Many things were tried, including burning the unedited film, the edited film without titles and chapter markers, abbreviating the chapter markers in case length was the issue (remember the old iMovie used to truncate them when moving to iDVD?). In the process, I noticed that one, and only one, chapter marker was on the same line as the title marker. All the others were on the line above. The only way I seemed able to change that was to clip a few seconds of film. After that last clip, the offending marker took a place on the line above, as were all the others. That run published, compiled completely and burned. That's one for the books.

    To add my experience with Multiplex Errors using iDVD (7.0.4), I recently created two iDVD projects
    Video from both passed from FCE 4.01 with chapters
    One project worked fine in creating disk image file
    The other gave Multiplex Errors
    I tried suggestions to remove special characters and no chapter marks at beginning, but nothing worked
    Note that I've used iDVD for dozens of projects and this is first time I've run into Multiplex Errors
    Anyway, for problem project, I tried an experiment where I removed all chapters in FCE and passed to new iDVD project
    This time multiplex errors gone
    So had something to do with chapters
    So now I tried numerous experiments to remove individual chapters and try again creating disk image with new iDVD project
    After numerous tries, I was able to narrow problem down to 1 "Bad" chapter mark
    That is, when I left the "bad" chapter in my FCE project and passed to iDVD, iDVD gave multiplex error
    When I removed "bad" chapter mark (and others in), no multiplex error
    As a final experiment, I moved "bad" chapter mark about 5-10 sec's beyond original point and passed to iDVD, the multiplex errors now magically went away and I was able to finally create my disk image.
    I have no idea why this worked, but thought I'd mention here in case someone else runs into similar problem.

    In addition to Bengt's fine advice, burning errors can occur if you have located any of your menu buttons wholly or partly outside of the safe TV viewing area. Go to your main project menu, then click on View/Show TV Safe Area, to check. Drag into the safe viewing area any buttons that are outside the safe viewing area.
    Russ One - suggest this
    Multiplex Error-There was an error during muxing preparation
    One thing that worked for me was to export the video w/o chapter markers as a self contained movie (thereby not loosing the edits & etc). Then make a new FCE project and import that movie into a new sequence and add the chapter markers. I've used "-", "&" and "," with no problem in the chapter names. Removing the markers or exporting without them did solve the problem but renaming them with just numbers 1,2,3....5, did not solve the problem and since this problem seems to happen with with iMovie as well, it would suggest the problem is in the video or audio and in combination with the chapter markers iDVD just can't handle it. The only other possibility is that both iMovie and FCE share the same or similar chapter marker code that some how is corrupting the markers.
    Summary - What to try
    1. Chapters
    • Only A to Z and 0 to 9 in chapter title
    • No Chapter mark at very beginning of movie
    • No Chapter mark in or within 2 seconds from any transition in movie
    2. TV-safe area for buttons (no one outside this)
    3. Safe re-boot
    4. No other external devices connected - that are not needed
    SDMacuser adds to this
    • On #4 ... No ext. devices. Some think this applies mainly to ext. FW. Not the case. Also applies to ext. USB2 as well (not to mention flash drives too).
    Do not leave 3rd party devices / camera / camcorder plugged in unless it is being used with iDvd's One Step process. Certain web cams can trigger this also (especially ones with added features like LED light/s that draw additional power from the FW or USB bus).
    5. Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-up hard disk
    6. Make a DiskImage first - reduces where problem originates
    7. Trash iDVD pref. file
    8. Make a new iDVD project
    9. Movies in project with same aspect ratio e.g. 4x3 or 16x9
    10. No other programs/applications running during iDVD process. e.g. Internet, screen & energy savers

  • No Audio Playback due to Error Message "Disk is too slow. (Prepare) (-10001)"

    Out of the blue, no audio playback.  Was working just fine earlier today.
    I repeatedly get the error message:
    Disk is too slow. (Prepare)
    (-10001)
    NOTE: I have more than enough disc space.  That is NOT the issue.
    I also just got a second error message:
    Part of the Project was not played
    This project has too many real instrument tracks to be played in real-time. To optimize performance, see the 'Optimizing GarageBand performance' page in GarageBand Help.
    NOTE: Odd as I have only 2 tracks in the GarageBand file.
    Any others experience this?  Suggestions?

    Have a look into the Preferences folder (YourUserFolder/Libraries/Preferences/) and trash all Logic preferences.

  • Why am I getting this error message, "Disk is too slow. (Prepare) (-10001)"

    Hello all!  I've been using GarageBand for a while now and I've accumulated quite a few files.  Along with all of my movies and iTunes library, my internal hard drive filled up rapidly and I didn't catch it.  I received a warning message on my screen one day saying that my hard drive was nearly full and I only had a few MB available.  I'm using a 150 GB Solid State Hard Disk on my 2009 MacBook Pro (2.6 GHz Intel Cre 2 Duo, 4 GB of RAM).  I remembered reading a while back that it's better to use an external hard drive for pretty much everything when using Garageband, so I bought one.  I now have a seagate 500 GB, 5400 rpm external (USB 2.0) and I moved ALL of my movies and music over to it.  I freed up around 60 GB of space on my internal hard drive in doing so. 
    So now that I've given you a little background, let me explain the issue I'm having.  Before I noticed that my hard drive was full, I started receiving this error message:
    Disk is too slow. (Prepare)
    (-10001)
    Upon receiving this message, I was unable to do pretty much anything in GarageBand.  I couldn't listen to tracks, export to iTunes, or do anything!  All I'm using GarageBand for is editing.  My band and I do all our recording (and mixing) offsite at a separate studio and i just deliver a 2 track stereo signal (L/R) to my MacBook.  From there, I just cut the individual tracks from a block of 30-45 minutes of recording because we just record our entire studio session and mix everything there.  I pretty much never have more than two tracks and a few effects going at the same time.
    After I realized that my disk was nearly full, I consulted my brother-in-law.  He's head of the IT Deartpment at a major hospital here in West L.A. and he told me that I may have created a problem with the cache by filling up my internal hard drive and that I may still have issues with performance even after I free up space.  He then told me that I may need to reboot my MacBook a few time to "free up the cache" (or something close to that, sorry guys I'm not that tech-savvy).  It seems he may have been right, as I'm still experiencing the same issue.  I rebooted around 10 times overall to no avail.  I'm still using my internal hard drive to store the files that I'm working on (temporarily) because USB 2.0 is way too slow for my liking, when using GarageBand.
    I've read quite a few articles on this offering solutions such as:
    1.  Do a complete Uninstall and Reinstall of GarageBand
    2.  Clone my hard drive to my external, format it, and reinstall everything back on it
    3.  Get a hard drive that supports Firewire 800 (The HDD I bought is USB 2.0, but it has two USB cables to increase speed, but I only have 1 port and I tried      a powered USB Hub, but this HDD won't work with it for some reason).
    4.  Use different editing software.
    5.  Take it to Apple!
    Will any of these things fix my problem?  Are some better than others?  Before I do anything, I wanted to ask this question on the furum to see if anybody had an easier (or cheaper!) solution.  Any suggestions, tips, or advice would be much appreciated, as my band is starting to get on my case about finishing our CD!  Thanks...  

    Have a look into the Preferences folder (YourUserFolder/Libraries/Preferences/) and trash all Logic preferences.
    You'll have to setup the program again.

    Trying to make a dvd from a project and this error message appears .The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-2125)

    Hi
    Error -2125
    OK Error code - 2125 usually indicates that the movie is to large.
    It use to pop up when going to iDVD !
    iDVD - DO NOT CARE ABOUT Gbs at all. I got movies on 500Mb that do not fit and 50Gb that fits nicely.
    iDVD - ONLY CARES ABOUT - Duration. Duration is Movie time + MENU TIME. Choice of
    menu and animation of this can take lost of "DURATION" 15 minutes or even more.
    Choice of encoding method and use of SL or DL DVDs determine the DVD limit.
    iDVD 08 & 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities.
    iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
    • Best Performances (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    DL DVDs can store about double of these times.
    ALTERNATIVE - The Error Code can indicate that free space on Start-up (BOOT) hard disk is
    less than 25Gb (my minimum)

    If you are getting OSStatus error -2125, I've seen this caused by the computer display sleep settings.
    Try changing the sleep settings to never and see if you are able to export.

  • I keep getting the following error message while sharing my iMovie to iDVD.  "Unable to prepare project for publishing"  error (-2125).

    I keep getting the following error message while sharing my iMovie to iDVD.  "Unable to prepare project for publishing"  error (-2125).  I'm running iMovie 09 v. 8.0.6 on a iMac with OSX v 10.6.8, 2Ghz core duo, 1GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.  Any ideas why?

    That particular error comes up for a number of reasons, sometimes it's the size of the movie you're trying to export. Bengt Wärleby a longtime contributor to the iMovie Discussion Group has advised a number of people on this error code, so I am going to link to his latest advice he's given to anyone trying to export to DVD from iMovie: Bengt's tips for great DVDs.
    Specifically, try bypassing Share to iDVD by using Share to Media Browser instead.
    In the Share to Media Browser dialog box choose the Large Size.
    When(If?) it gets through that process, quit iMovie altogehter then go to iDVD.
    Create a new project and click on the Media button near the lower right hand side of the Project Window.
    Then click the Movies button in the Browser window just above that.
    Under the iMovie star icon you should see the name of the project you shared out from iMovie.
    Drag that into the project and burn the DVD.
    If it's still to large or you get the same -2125 error code trying to Share using the Medium size instead. But again if you really get stuck consult Bengt Warleby's User tips:

  • Problem recovering new iPhone 4, Stuck on "Preparing iphone for restore", then giving an error message

    I recently bought an iPhone 4, and it worked just fine, until I tried to sync it with iTunes. Whenever I would try to sync it, it would stall somewhere in the process, and then an error message would come up eventually. It would say something along the lines of "Process timed out, Internal Harware error" or somthing like that, there were several error messages.
    So then I tried to restore the phone. I did it through iTunes, and eventually the process stalled on the "Preparing iPhone for restore" part, and then it would give me an error message (4013). My phone is stuck on the connect to itunes screen. When I do connect it to iTunes it says that the phone is in recorvery mode and that and needs to be restored. So again, I try to restore it and it gets stalled in the "Preparing iPhone for restore" part. I have also recieved the 2005 error code. I have tried to fix it by unplugging all other USB's, using a different USB port, disabling firewalls ect.. I have the newest version of iTunes, and my phone is running 7.0.3 (Can't update now that the restore is necessary, and I couldn't update anyways because the same problem I had syncing it occured when I tried to update.) I have Windows XP.

    Error 1 is a baseband error. If you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take iPhone to Apple for resolution of this problem. If no coverage then search the Web for Error 1. Users have reported some success with this Error 1.

  • Getting error message "cannot prepare project for publishing (-50) -- and it wont publish my project. What's up?!

    getting error message "cannot prepare project for publishing (-50)" and, subsequently, it won't publish the bloody thing. I have publsihed many videos previous to this one so I have no idea waht is going on.
    So, my question is -- WHAT IS GOING ON?!!

    Hi
    See if this might help
    Error -50
    Error -50   paramErr  Error in user parameter list
    Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
    What this means in Your situation is above me.
    • free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
    Pictures
    • in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
    Audio
    • from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
    The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
    Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
    • Library - at root level
    • Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
    from Luke Burns
    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

  • My MacBook Air becomes unresponsive when logging in, and I decided to reinstall OS X Lion. When running the installer from OS X Recovery, it gave the error message "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again."

    My MacBook Air becomes unresponsive when logging in, and I decided to reinstall OS X Lion. When running the installer from OS X Recovery, it gave the error message "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again."
    Checking in the log revealed the following error:
    Can not connect to /var/run/systemkeychaincheck.socket: No such file or directory
    Error!! Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1202 "UNTRUSTED_CERT_TITLE" UserInfo=0x1086bec80 {NSLocalizedDescription=UNTRUSTED_CERT_TITLE, NSLocalizedFailureReason=UNTRUSTED
    The rest of the line is cutted off. Does anyone know what went wrong and how to fix it ?

A: my MacBook Air becomes unresponsive when logging in, and I decided to reinstall OS X Lion. When running the installer from OS X Recovery, it gave the error message "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again."

I encountered the same exact problem when I attempted to re-installed OSX Lion on an old laptop. The date was set back in 2000, which rendered the certificate obsolete. Here's how I fixed it:
From the recovery menu, select the Terminal application. Run the 'date' command to confirm the date is wrong, then set the correct date using this command: date {month}{day}{hour}{minute}{year}
e.g. date 1219195613
Exit terminal (type exit). Retry the installation.
