No audio on burned disk

Not sure if this is an iDVD or iMovie question, but I thought I'd try this forum first. I completed an iMovie project last night and imported it to iDVD. The movie project was about 40 minutes in length with some added music files (aiff), transitions, titles, chapter markers etc. It was completed and saved to my iOmega 250 gig external drive connected to my iMac G4 via Firewire 400. I imported the project to iDVD and used the "Reveal" theme, adding some still photos and a song to the "title page" of the theme. The preview worked fine. Before retiring last night, I set the computer to burn the project as an image file to my external drive. This morning I checked my computer and it said that the burn was completed successfully. I then used Toast 6 to burn a copy to a disk (Maxell DVD-R 16X). However, when I went to play the DVD on my Sony DVD player, there is no audio in the movie. The only audio I get is the song that plays on the theme "title page." I burned another copy to disk, and the problem still persist. Now I have two nice gold-colored coasters! Thanks in advance for any advice on solving this problem.

Bengt and F Shippey:
Gentlemen, I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my inquiry. Thanks to reading this forum shortly after I purchased my external drive, I was informed that I needed to format it for Mac, which I did (Mac OS Extended journaled) so that wasn't the issue. I should have mentioned that I had previously been successful burning a DVD from an earlier project saved as a disk image. Also, I have plenty of space on my internal drive (about 46 gb). Finally, I made sure that all the songs that I used in the project were not iTunes protected. (used only some loops from the IMovie sound files and some songs reimported from CD that were purchased from the iTunes store).
Shortly after I posted my topic, I went back through some older topics on the iDVD forum and located one that was similar to my issue. In that topic, it was suggested that the chapter markers may be the culprit causing problems with audio being left out of the burned disk, particularly if the chapter markers were next to transitions in the iMovie project. So, I went back and eliminated all my chapter markers, reburned to a new disk image and then used Toast 6 to burn a new disk. Problem solved. The disk now contains the audio. I'm happy about that, but it would have been nice (though not essential) to have chapter markers in my project. Do you think that, by simply making sure that my chapter markers are not next to transitions, that I can get both a good disk with audio AND chapter markers? Thanks again.

My newly installed burner works fine from i-tunes, except the burned disk won't work in my car CD player. The old burner's work just fine in the car. Please help.

Using my new G5 I have the same problem, which I did not know using my old G4 with an external LaCie burner. The CD-Changer in my car is not able to read audio-cds, also my cd-player in my home hifi-system. The only way to play these audio-cds is (strange...) to put them directly in the main tuner of my car (usually used for the navigation cd), not using the Changer.
Maybe the problem really depends on the quality of the CD-Rs. I have used CD-Rs from Sony (it´s a brand, I think?) and will try Verbatim.

Problems Burning Disks after OS Update

I've been working on a photo project with tens of thousands of image files. As I've been working through this project, I've been burning pictures to CD-ROMs. I'm using standard 700 MB CD-R disks, and until now I've been able to fit about 3,500-4,000 files on each disk, or a total size of about 640-660 MB. I've burned ten CD-ROMs this way in the past year.
Last night I was prompted for an automatic update from OS 10.4.9 to OS 10.4.10, which I did. After the computer updated and restarted, something automatically launched itself from the dock, gave the following unusual message which immediately aroused my suspicion: UPDATING HL-DT-ST DVDRW 6 WA 4080 MA TO BE39 ...
This was as far as I was able to copy before the process finished and the screen disappeared. Another part of the message said not to interrupt the installation or else I could end up with a non-functioning device.
Then the computer restarted itself. A second time the application started itself from the dock but said there weren't any drivers needing updating.
This is the first time in 13.5 years of using Macs that I've ever had to update a driver, and I was very suspicious since it did it all automatically without my authorization.
I restarted the computer again, and the application launched a third time, so I hunted it down and deleted it. It was some sort of driver utility (I wish I'd written down its name). After this, everything seemed to work fine until I went to burn a CD last night.
First, the finder looked slightly different, with new buttons and layout specific to burning a CD. Second, the disk appeared on the desktop with the extension .fbpf, though it had never had an extension before. Third, when I dragged the files to be copied into the Finder window, it just created shortcuts instead of copying the files. I had to do a command-c and a command-v to get them in there. Not all of the files would show up in the finder window, but if I did a command-v again it would ask if I wanted to overwrite them. Fourth, I had 640 MB of files, but it said there wasn't enough room, that the files to be copied were larger than the disk.
Eventually I removed files until it said there was enough room, so I burned the disk. The first attempt produced a disk with half the files missing. The second attempt produced a disk with only 2,007 files and a total size of 399.8 MB. This was wasting about 40% of space on the CD. When I looked at the CD, however, it appeared that the burn had gone nearly to the edge of the disk, instead of about 60% of the way, so something is filling up that space it seems. But what?
My immediate suspicion was the driver update related to the OS update, so I did some researched and realized that OS 10.4.10 is causing tons of problems for lots of people, so I decided to revert to OS 10.4.9.
I performed an archive install back to OS 10.4.8, got rid of the old system folder, and downloaded the update to 10.4.9. Disk Utility returned no errors. I finished that this morning, but the disk burning problem remains, and the Finder even froze up during this process.
My guess is that reverting to a previous OS did not fix whatever changes were made to the driver, but I'm not sure how I should proceed here. I'm also wondering if this is more generally related to OS 10.4, because I cannot recall burning a data CD like this since I upgraded from OS 10.3 (but backing up purchased audio files from iTunes was the same as always).
Does anyone have any suggestions here? (I'd prefer not to have to reformat the drive and restore everything from back-up and original install disks because that takes about six hours.)

Thanks Carolym for your response.
Go to System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items. Delete any
applications you have listed.
I did this; there were four applications including the driver update software that self-installed last night. Who knew it was still lurking around after being deleted?
But, after restarting, the problem persists.
Is this a SuperDrive that can also burn to DVD? If
so, read here; http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/feedback/
superdrivefw_update2.1.html
Yes, it is.
This page didn't make any sense to me. Were these posts by people installing the update or removing it? That page seems to refer to the update that happened last night, which seems to have started my problems. Can you elaborate on this?
I've replicated this on both my internal drive and an external drive connected by FireWire. I've never had problems with this media before. The alsoft.com site is apparently off-line today.
The entire problem seems to be software related. The size discrepancy between what's reported by the "Burn Disk" Finder window is now TWICE the size reported on the "Get Info" window. It's as if it is reading the contents to be burned twice when calculating their size.
The files I want to put on a disk are 640.5 MB. Everything on my computer says this, except the Finder window for the disk. At the bottom of the window it reports the files are over 1,291 MB in size, which is too large to fit on the 700 MB disk. But when I select the files in that same finder window with command-i, it says 640.5 MB.
For kicks, I put the disk I burned last night through Disk Utility. It showed the 400.5 MB of files on the 700 MB Disk. So, there was about 260 MB of space wasted on that disk. When I burned the disk last night, the computer was thinking the files were about 660 MB (which is the most it has ever allowed me to write to a disk). Disk Utility also said the disk was burned in Mac format, and I was under the impression this computer was burning to ISO format.
Is there some setting somewhere that perhaps I'm overlooking that writes the disks a certain way and that could be the cause? Could it be a memory issue/allocation/buffer size/etc issue? Something else?

Attempt to burn disk failed error 4261

Never had a problem burning disks. Just downloaded a new cd from itunes, and when I try to burn it onto a disk, part way through the burn I get a message "canceling disk burn" then an error message pops on "Attempt to burn disk failed, unknown error 4261". This has happened 4 times, and I am only allowed 7 burns on this new cd.

Trouble encoding audio when burning to dvd

I have finished editing a nearly 2-hour long wedding video and all is going well, everything encodes fine until....it comes to my audio. I have now tried to burn this movie 7 times to dvd and EVERY time it freezes when it reaches the stage of encoding the audio. Any tips?

Hello, trouble,
Welcome to the discussions. Sorry you are having so much trouble burning your DVD. What exactly do you see when you think it is freezing? Does it just look as if nothing is happening? Do you actually get a message that says there is a problem with the burn?
If you are using any version of iDVD prior to iDVD 8, I suspect that your audio is encoding fine and not really 'freezing'. It will LOOK as if everything has stopped, because the those versions did not include a 'time remaining' notice. You can see a small thumbnail of the menus encoding, and you can see the video of your movie as the video encodes, but when audio encoding is occurring, there is only a black square. Depending on your computer system, the process can take some time. I recommend that you just leave it alone, maybe overnight, and see if it is fine in the morning. On my older iMac, a nearly 2hr movie might take over 12 hours to finish encoding/burning.
I do recommend that do a 'save as disk image' for every iDVD project.
If you are not familiar with this process, it is the creation of a file that is an exact replica of your iDVD project. The encoding looks the same as it is occurring, but the end result is a disk image file, not a burned DVD disk. There are several reasons to do this: It can save you from wasting disks if there is something wrong that prevents a successful burn; you can view your disk image on your computer using the application DVD Player to view your project and see if it is ok; you can use the disk image for burning disks through Disk Utility (or Toast); and you can control the burn speed--should be 4x or less.
And, you now have a self-contained image file that you can save and from which you can burn disks in the future. Because it is self-contained, you can safely delete your iMovie and iDVD projects, thus saving drive space. Even though you can burn another DVD using one that you already have burned, the disk image file is a better backup. DVD disks can crack, break, melt, etc. and if you lose your copy, you will not be able to burn another.

After I did 8.0 update, I cant burn disks anymore. Unknown Error 4265

I name each photo buy replacing the jpeg number with the name. when I burn to disk and open disk the name is not shown. how do I get the name given to show on the burn disk?.

after I burn the files to dvd and load to view the name does not appear. How do I get the name listed to appear on the burn disk instead of the file number?

Naming the Photo - or giving it a title - is not the same as naming file.
How are you burning to dvd? With iPhoto? If so then the Title will be available in any app that understands basic metadata.
If you want the title available in the Finder - which does not understand photo metadata - then you'll need to export the file
File -> Export
In the resulting dialogue you'll see a heading for 'File Name'. Choose 'Use Title' from the drop down.

DVD drive won't work but it will burn disk?

imac 2.4Ghz - 10.5.8
For sometime now my DVD drive spits out Cd's/DVDs as soon as I put it in. Strange thing is, it will let me put blank media in and will allow me to burn disks.
It's getting really annoying now as can't do so many things I need to do.
I want to upgrade to Snow leopard but until this is sorted I can't. I know I can attach an external drive or replace it but I need to know that I've covered all areas before resorting to this.
Wondering if an upgrade caused this possibly?
Would be very grateful for any help anyone can give me?
Many thanks

Hello kfq
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
1. Check and clean those CDs and DVDs, SuperDrives are picky and don't like dirty, filmy, scratched, warped, out of balance media with labels on them!
2. Check the Apple > System Preferences > CDs & DVDs to make sure that they were set correctly. To include toggling/re-setting them to something else and back, forcing the system to re-write the preferences.
3. Download the 10.5.8 Combo Update from the following Apple Support page and install it over the top of the current 10.5.8 > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL866

IDVD burned disk does not start at main menu

The IDVD burned disk starts randomly in the middle of the disk. Cannot access the main menu. I started with an IMovie with chapter headings, videos and pictures. Then shared it with IDVD, created themes, music, changed the headers, etc. Burned the disk using the File Burn DVD command. The disk takes over 1 1/2 hours (IMovie orginal is 15 minutes) to burn.

Hello to all of you first-timers here!
Welcome to the discussions.
First, are you using iMovie 9?
Did you set chapter markers in iMovie? Did you follow the Chaper Marker Rules?
RULES: No marker at the beginning of your movie, no markers within 2 seconds of the beginning or end of the movie, and no markers on or within 2 seconds of your movie.
Next, did you put your movie in iDVD and then go make any changes to it? Sometimes that causes the chapters to default to the same spot in the movie. The only solution is to recreate the iDVD project.
You should first try deleting iDVD's preference file. You can find this by closing iDVD, going to your Home file (YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.idvd.plist
Drag this plist file to the trash. iDVD will create a new one when you relaunch it.
Reopen iDVD.
Try creating the disk image file again or burning a disk again.
If that results in the same problem, create a new iDVD project. Then, drag in the iMovie project from the Media/Movies pane in iDVD instead of sharing it from iDVD.
Post back if that does not resolve the issue.

What happened to right-click burn disk?

If I recall correctly, if you wanted to burn a cd before, you put the blank cd in the Mac then dragged the files you wanted to burn on top of the cd icon and then right-clicked the cd icon and chose "burn-disk". This seems to be gone in Leopard for some reason.

you can still do it almost as easily. there is a burn button next to the CD icon in finder sidebar and there is another one if you open the CD in finder. as to why it was removed from the right-click menu you have to ask apple. this is a user to user forum and nobody here can answer that.

How to solve Audition CS6 error "The amount of audio to burn will not fit on the CD........."?

I have a brand new PC that is MORE than adequate. I have once succeeded in burning a CD after learning all about time tracks and merging them. (made a few with only ONE track)
Two things:
1) I find that I must add a CD marker at the end of the WAV because Audition CS6 erases whatever is the last CD marker I've made. Very frustrating but now I know I have to do this but I have no idea WHY!!
2) Right now I have a WAV that is just over 1 hour and 3 minutes with a total of 637.74MB of info. When I try to export/burn a CD, I get an error message stating "The amount of audio to burn will not fit.......". I am using TDK 700MB blanks with a Pioneer Blu-ray burner.
Obviously it will fit.
What am I doing wrong, all of a sudden?

Hey ryclark,
Thanks for responding. Something else is going on here.....
Here's what I re-replied to our friend...
Thanks for the response.
When I built this computer last Nov/Dec, it was built with the second
fastest Intel 7i, quad-core chipset on an 64-bit ASUS motherboard. It's running
Win 7 Pro. It has a 500GB SSD "C" drive with another 14 TB of true hard
drive space. It is set up with 64 bit. I had been using Audition CS3 for many
years and even go back to it's origin: Cool Edit and Cool Edit Pro. My
learning curve was minimal, sans the CD burning, which I used other software
for which is now antiquated, so I need Audition for this. Between this and
IZotope 3 I've repaired and improved many a recording. All-in-all extremely
useful software.
As for the idea "to burn it anyway", well the error message comes up and
that's it - if I "X" out of that message and try to burn again the message
comes back - so Audition will not let me. It is convinced that this file is
longer than it really is, but only when I add track marks to it!
There are only 11 tracks.
I was able to burn a CD of this same file but without all the track marks,
so the same exact file length/size will burn, only as the one track.
I've also succeeded in burning other WAV's , both greater and smaller, with
and without multiple track marks, without issue. Of course all with less
than the CD's max. capacity.
This problem seems to be with this one file. I've even re-made/re-recorded
the file from scratch with no change. There's something else going on here
that I can't put my finger on. (I am "recording" LP's and making personal
CDs of them)
Also, only from time to time, I have another error after burning a CD that
states it could not verify the CD. For this I assume it is the blank rather
than AA? The first might burn without issue and with the second burn I
get the error. It is near the end of a stack of blanks, so.....
As for the need to "mark the end" of the file makes a lot of sense but of
all the other CD track-marking software I've used, none needed one to do
this, but this IS Adobe after all.
You'd think there might be a smidge of intuitiveness with Adobe, but maybe
not.

Idvd will not burn disks

All of a sudden my work computer and my home computer will not burn disks in IDVD?

Are you getting any messages or warnings when you try? What systems are you running on each and what version of iDVD? Is it the same project that you tried to burn on each Mac? What brand and type of disk are you using? What burn speed did you try?
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
