Post Disk Burn Musical Distortion

I have recently completed a comprehensive DVD for a friends wedding that integrated music, video (with iMovie) and pictures.
Everything came together very well and I was amazed at how powerful and user friendly all of the iLife 11 family of tools are to use.
There was so much content for the wedding, I have actually created 2 Disks, the first focuses on Bride and Groom preparations, the wedding ceremony, beach photography, reception and dancing, and the after party.
I have just burned the first disk and it worked out quite well with a couple of exceptions, which I am hoping you can help my debug and eliminate.
The largest issue is with the music, and how it transferred over during the burn. Each menu option (for example – The Wedding Ceremony), has an iMovie movie behind it that I have created integrating video clips, photo stills, and iTunes music.
Before burning the DVD, all of these items worked perfectly together. Post-Burn, the music has become very distorted, almost like it’s coming through a broken speaker.
I think I did a good job of following all of the direction for selecting and placing music, but perhaps there is something I’ve missed.
Any assistance or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to ask any questions. I’m happy to share anything to resolve this issue.
Also, due to the quantity of content, I have burned onto a Memorex DVD+R DL
Thanks in advance

Excellent suggestion. I stopped by my local Apple store today and spoke to a Geneous. His suggestion was to convert all of the iTunes music files to MP3' rather than AIFF. Do you have any perspective that would send me to one format over another?
As you have suggested, I will convert several songs, redo the movies and be burn the DVD to see if it Removes the issue.
Thanks for you continued support.

No disk burning software installed warning

My 12 year old Granddaughter needed some help with her iPod and a disk burning problem. The iPod was a snap, she probably knows more about it than I do! But the real problem is how I may have installed Panther on my old iMac 400DV which she now uses. When she wants to burn a CD from iTunes, the blank CD shows up fine ( including on the Desktop ) but she gets a warning that she can't burn the CD because there is "no disk/c burning software installed"!
Is it possible that I could have installed Panther and not installed the needed pieces to burn a CD?
I know I burned CD's in OS 9 before I upgrade the OS and gave her the iMac. Is it possible that the version of iTunes in her version of Panther is the problem? I don't know exactly which version she has of iTunes, but I see many posts here about 6.0.3 fixing burning problems. I'm using a plain jane 6.0 version in Tiger with no problems.
I just need to know what pieces to update/fix. As you can imagine, burning CD's for ones family is a big problem for some 12 year olds!

You are totally correct, I discovered that after searching Apple spec sheets. I suppose that is why I bought a firewire CD burner! [headbash] Since I gave all the hardware ( iMac, scanner, etc, ) to my Granddaughter, I don't have it sitting here in front of my nose! So I'm claiming that and my age as the reason for the question!
And it was not custom ordered. Similar to my brain which is also the 'stock' model. Problem is, there are too few connections or too many bad 'cells'. Perhaps they need a faster refresh cycle, also.
Anyway, thanks for the answer. hope you got a laugh at my forgetfulness.

Making a slide-show disk with music self-playable

I have burned a slideshow disk with music through Keynote. In "Inspector", I made sure that zI selected "self-playable" before recording and saving it. However, when I put the disk in my iMac, the icon appears on my desktop, I click on the icon, a window pops up with the file on it, and I click on the file. Then Keynote opens up with the slideshow showing in "Navigator" and I have to press or select play for the slideshow to play.
What must I do to have the slideshow play as soon as the disk is loaded or at least when I click on the icon of the disk on my desktop?
Thanks for your help.

Place the individual music files into a new iTunes playlist. Choose it (not the individual files) by hitting the OK button.

Burning music and video as data files onto DVD-R?

How can I (using what program) burn music and videos to a DVD-R on my MBP? To be clear, I just want to use the DVD's as storage, not to watch them on a DVD player
Thanks (and sorry for the potentially stupid question)

Put a CD-R in your optical drive. Drag the files you want onto the disk icon and then drag the disk to the trash. That'll burn the files onto the disk. Real simple.

Burning Music Problem

I have just ruined 6 discs trying to burn a cd from a playlist on my Itunes site . What am I doing wrong ? I have an opening for a disc in the front and I was told I could burn music so I would love some help on this . The iTunes is the update 7.7.1. I have burned music before off the XP program on Itunes so why cannot I do it on this laptop too ??

Just to clarify...have you tried to play the burned CDs on the computer? Not all car players and other CD players will play one of these burned audio CDs. (I just want to confirm that the problem is actually with burning and not the player itself.)
I'm running out of ideas, I'm sorry to say. A couple of more questions, though. What file type are the songs in the playlist? (purchased from iTunes, imported from your own CDs? AAC, lossless, MP3?)
Also...you might try logging in on your computer from another user account. You probably won't have an iTunes library there, but you could import a couple of songs and try to burn from the different account. Sometimes the User account on the Mac will get corrupt in some way and cause problems. Trying this would be another way to narrow down the problem by process of elimination.
If you don't have another account created that you can log in under and don't know how to create one, post back.

"Disk Burner Not Found..." My turn -

Or, "When does the Help Reply 72 hour response start?"
First of all, thank you, and you know who you are, for the fix to the Burner Not Found issue. This little rant is simply to help others who will have the same problem as I.
Im brand new to iPods and the like, and it was the Nano that got me hooked very impressive. I also was very impressed with iTunes too.
After I imported all my CDs I decided to burn backup some DVDs mostly cause I could. And I was able to, well at least three of them. Then, admittedly for reasons I dont recall, I did a firmware update for my DVD (and yes, I got the right one).
Thats when iTunes started to give me the Disk Burner or Software Not Found error. What seemed odd to me was that I could still Import a CD, in the Preferences - Advanced - Burning tab, the disk burner iTunes couldnt find was listed. And, with other software, burning a disk worked just fine.
I did as many as you did, I removed iTunes (saving my music under a different name, and location), reinstalled iTunes with the same results.
Finally, I found you good people, and read the fix, well part of the fix. I tried putting my burner in the first Asus grouping I found the in gcdoem.cfg that didnt work, so I did as someone else here did, I put it in every grouping I found that already had an Asus burner listed which worked.
So, thank you.
Oh, then the funny part. When I restarted iTunes, I got this message Could not find your preferred Disk Burner. Ok to use E: ASUS DRW-1608P (ATAE:) instead?
Ah, my preferred burner? that would be the only one I have
Phat
p.s. Could someone explain to me, why in the config file, almost every grouping of burners calls the same dll?
Weird.

Hey Phat
This seems to be the same problem I've got and exactly the same burner. But when I add the entries to gcdoem.cfg I still have the same problem. Could you show me exactly the entries you added just incase I've done it wrong.

Hello, I sincerely hope I can get some help. I've tried ALL of the tips on here to get iTunes 7 to burn the music I bought to a cd but I keep getting the "Disc Burner Or Software Not Found" error message.

Thank you for reading and have a great day.

Macbook Wont allow me to burn Music CD's all all

In the process of burning music to CD, it just processes and checks the songs, then it says Finishd before its even started and says "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The media is not writable" is the CD burner broken or somthing, because on the PC the songs burn to CD fine

Hi sean,
back up your iTunes, and re-install iTunes from apple.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesMac/7.0/en/702x.html
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302392
If that still fail, maybe you got a faulty optical drive.
Bring to apple store and have 'em check it for you.
Also post your problem on iTunes forum, maybe more expert user can help you up there.
Good Luck.

Frustrated because unable to burn music. (PL created, no burn icon)

I have created a playlist and inserted a CD-R disk to burn music onto. However, the burn icon in Itunes doesn't appear. I am unable to drag and drop the music onto the CD. The "Burn Playlist to Disk" option under file is grayed out.
When the playlist that I created is selected......still nothing. I have rebooted without any luck. What can I try next. Its beginning to seem like something is faulty with my computer?? I am running Leopard on a fairly new IMac.
Thanks for any help.

Yes, you can burn songs if your iTunes is authorized to play them. Did you check that?
You can only burn a limited number of copies of a particular combination of songs. (If I recall correctly, if you change the order it's still the same combination of songs. You have to actually change the set of songs.) I don't recall what happens when iTunes thinks you've burned all the copies you're allowed, but I don't think it's mysterious graying out.

Burning music onto a blank cd...

I have a macbook pro and I want to burn music onto a blank cd. Do I need to buy a certain kind of CD to do this?

Yes, you want the CD-R for audio cd's for most standard cheap audio players, not ideal for re-ripping. Holds anywhere from 10-20 songs or so.
CD-R or DVD-R or DVD DL-R for Mp3 cd's depending upon the machine it's being played upon what it can accept for MP3 Cd's.
Mp3 Cd's can hold upwards of a 100 songs per CD, more per DVD and even more for dual layer DVD's and awesome anount on Dual Sided Dual Layer DVD's, although one will have to flip it over to use the other side.
Burn DATA CD's and DVD's in iTunes if you want all the other accompanying information, album covers etc, to backup and/or use with another machine.
It's ideal to make Data DVD's every once in awhile of all your music, because rewritable media like hard drives and even SSD's can lose files once in awhile, so you can go back over the archived music for fresh copies.
CD+R and CD-R are two slightly different disk formats, but most all machines now can use either, perhaps only very old machines can only use CD-r or CD+R (ditto for DVD+R, DVD-R)
It's good to check anyway just to make sure.

Error 4251 in disk burning...

When I go to burn a disk, I have all my songs checked. I know they are all authorized for my computer and they are all checked, and that they will all fit on the computer. It works until it starts burning the first song then it cancels the disk and it says error 4251(this happens every time to every playlist), .. How do I fix this? Is it even fixable or is it my disk drive? Or is it the song files? I also have music from other music services that offer downloads. This really annoys me because I used to be able to burn music and now I have no way to back up my music or make a CD.

Can't Burn Music CDs

I have been trying to free up some space on my 30GB ibook hard drive. One thing I wanted to do is get rid of all my music files (which are not plentiful) by burning them to CDs.
In my zeal to clear space I must have deleted something I need because itunes now says it cannot burn music CDs. I have no idea what I dumped that I now need. I am running the lastest version of itunes.
When I searched for disk burning software I was only able to find downloads for data CDs.
Anyone know what I did wrong and how I can fix it?
Thanks!
Abby

You didn't put a recent commercial CD from Sony-BMG in your computer, did you?
