Problem reading burned DL DVD+R

Hello, I have my MBP for 6 months, but only a couple of weeks ago I tried to burn a DL DVD+R. It recorded fine, and verified the disc without problems. But soon I unmount it, and insert it again, it just simply doesn't read it... The disc starts spinning at high speeds, and stops, and after some time it ejects...
I thought that were because the Philips Double Layer DVD+R, so I tried with a TDK, but the result is the same...
Somebody has the same problem? Anyone has any idea of what is this??
*I tried the burned DVDs in PCs and they worked just fine, only in my MBP it doesn't read...
Thanks in advance

Should I be able to read burned DL DVD's?

The Superdrive in out first generation iMac G5 doesn't appear to read dual-layer DVD's that I burned on my G5 tower. The disks are Verbatim DVD+R DL. The same disks (obviously) read fine on the tower, as well as on an older Sony firewire drive attached to the same iMac.
The drive whirs and clunks for a few minutes, then spits them out without comment. Seems this should work, but I never tried it until now - so I don't know if this is new behaviour. Normal, or a problem?

Try reading a regular commercial movie DVD with Apple's DVD player. If that works, then the drive was made before DL became popular enough to be considered by Apple's built-in DVD players. Earlier DVD players were only for DVD-R single layer, and DVD-ROM. You can also find out more about the kind of discs your computer will read by going to Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info -> Disc Burning inside System Profiler, as well as reading the ATA/IDE bus to learn which make and model burner is in your machine.

IDVD-problems with burning a DVD

I cannot burn a DVD, i get a message
There seems to be too much motion menu content in your project. Correct this problem before you continue burning this project.
But i am not sure how to fix it.
Please help.
And also if i want for a PC user to be able to play my DVD-do i import a movie in iMovie format or in QuickTime format?
Thank you

Hi Natasha:
Welcome to discussions!
This is how to eliviate the Motion Menu Problems:
iDVD 6: Exceeding motion menu duration prevents burning
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303375
You should be able to play the DVD on a PC when you are done in either format. The only way it wouldn't work would be if the PC didn't play the type of DVD media you used to burn your movie. (ie.,DVD+/-R)

IDVD Problem with burning a DVD

Whenever I try to burn a DVD using iDVD, I get this message "Multiplexer Error: There was an error during building. This disc is still untouched and may be reused later." I've tried this with 3 different DVDs and keep getting this problem. Can someone help? Thanks!

Here you go:
1) Delete all old iDVD projects that you couldn't burn under the same name;
2) Reboot your PC;
3) Quit all open applications (check if any is open at "Force Quit");
4) Go to: Users/Library/Caches and delete folder com.apple.idvd
5) Go to: Users/Library/Preference and delete file com.apple.idvd.lists
6) Insert a blank DVD;
7) Go to "Applications" and open iDVD (don't open it from any previous iDVD project);
8) Select " Create new project" and prepare your project;
9) Go to iDVD Preferences / Advance / Burning Speed: and select 4x ;
10) Go to menu "Advance" and deselect "Encode in Background";
11) At the same above menu, click "Delete encoded projects" and select OK (ignore alert messages);
12) Select "Burn" and... no more problems

Problems reading Mac OS DVDs after installing 10.4.11

OK - I guess I should have read the many posts out there about the problems with this software update. However, I did not and now am encountering two bizarre problems. Perhaps someone out there can help.
I own a Macbook and downloaded 10.4.11 this morning. Everything was running just fine until then. Now I have two problems:
1) it cannot read Mac OS DVDs (neither the new Leopard disks I just got, nor the original backups of 10.4.9 that came with the macbook). The disks are fine and can be read without a problem by my iMac. The drive on the macbook is fine since it can read other DVDs (e.g., iLife 08 DVD, movie DVDs). It seems to be limited to OS 10.4 and 10.5 installation CDs.
2) a smaller but also annoying thing is that my apple-supplied stocks widget is reading wrong stock prices.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Derrick

Problems reading/burning cds

dvds and program cds are working, but itunes is not reading certain burned cds, and i am having trouble burning cds.
today i tried to burn a playlist, 17 songs, 1.1 hrs, 72.7 mb on a 80min/700mb cd. it failed almost immediately and gave the message, "the attempt to burn a disk failed. the device failed to calibrate the lazer power level for this media."
a previous attempt to burn a cd gave me a message saying something about an unused underwrite buffer or something, i should have written that message down too. any ideas?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
You possibly are using CD's incompatible with your CD writer. What speed are the CD's? I use Maxell 48x with my iMac with no problems, however, I find my iBook likes the 32x. Different writers. The iMac is a SuperDrive, while the iBook is the standard CD/DVD.

Problems with burning a DVD

I created a project on iDVD,copied from a VHS tape, everything seemed to go well, I checked the paths to make sure there were no errors, put in a blank dvd (only had dual layer, didnt need it) encoded in best performance, and started the burn process. At the end of burning, during multiplexing and (something else I dont remember) the dvd kicked out before the process was done. It did say 'done' in small letters below the line measuring how much is done, and seemed to be done.
Any help on what might be going on here would be appreciated.
OH yea. The DVD wont play in a DVD player. That is my problem.

I'm assuming nothing was written to the disc in that case. But let's make sure. What happens when you simply insert your DL DVD into your mac exactly? Does it open the Finder / a dialog box of any kind? If so, nothing was actually written to your dvd.
Let's try to burn a disc image to the desktop right now from the file menu in iDvd. If it plays back well using apple's dvd player app. Then we need to look closely at either media or internal hardware. If the image cannot be read by your mac then we likely have a content issue. Hopefully this makes sense.
The next step is to figure out why it failed to burn to disc. Could be as simple as a dirty dvd lens or as complicated as a hardware issue with the internal S-Drive on your mac (rare but it happens). If you suspect the latter then run an extended Hardware Test on your mac. If you own a quality dvd lens cleaner kit from Maxell or 3M, use it now.

Problems while burning the DVD

I have worked a little with Encore 1.5.1. This is my first attempt with the upgrade to 2.0. I love the features but have run into a number of problems when I actually attempt to build the DVD. On three occasions the burn has encountered errors during the build/write process. Messages like "Preparing project for Build failed" and "Stream type invalid" have occurred. Once the build seemed to work but the resulting DVD does not play on either a DVD player or on my PC.
I have no build errors (by the way, I like the Check Project functionality) and I can preview the project with out a problem.
A potentially related issue... Encore runs very very slow on my system. I have a P4 with 1 Gig memory. The old version of Encore ran fine. Premiere has good performance.
Any suggestions on how to fix the burn problem?

Andrew,
As Ruud states, PP does not recognize DL DVDs, while Encore does. However, with 1.5 hours of Video, you should not need DL. With good transcoding specs., it will easily fit on a DVD-5 (single-layer).
I'll bet that you are looking at the size of your Exported file (what format is it - DV-AVI?) and figuring that THAT will not fit on a 4.7GB DVD-5. What you have to allow for is that either PP, or Encore will "transcode" the file to MPG-2 for the DVD, and it will compress that file. If you have already Exported to MPG-2, you need to look at your Export settings, as they are likely too high. They may also be too high, for any DVD player to actually play the DVD.
A very nice feature of Encore is that if you feed it a nice DV-AVI file from PP, it will automatically choose the correct settings to fit the file onto a DVD-5 (provided that you have set DVD-5 in your Disc tab). If you wish to do all of the math yourself, and not rely on Encore to do it for you, then you'll need to study up on "bit budgeting." This forum would be a great place to start, with a "search." However, you will likely need to spend a great deal of time learning this, plus you'll need a few "tools," most of which are freeware, though not 100% intuitive.
The next stop should be Jeff Bellune's "Focal Easy Guide to Encore2." Even if you have CS3, which includes Encore3, Jeff covers bit budgeting and that part will be the same. Some buttons and switches will likely have changed between the two versions, but the principles will be the same.
Still, most of us rely on Encore's automatic transcode settings, until we have a really involved project with specific Assets.
Considering the age of the original thread, and how far down it is on the forum, I'd suggest that you start a new thread. First, I'd set it up a bit differently, than the one that you tagged onto this thread. State what your Assets are, which programs you are using and which programs you have at your disposal, or plan on acquiring to complete your Project. Next, a bit of info on your system, might help others, should they have to "trouble shoot" your Project. It would look a bit like this:
Five hours of DV tape, Captured into Premiere Pro X and edited to a 1.5 hour Project with stereo Audio from the original tape.
Exported from PP to DV-AVI (file size) as elemental streams DV-AVI Video and PCM WAV Audio.
Imported to EncoreX as a Timeline. Imported 3 Menus from Library(details).
Desired medium for Export = DVD-5 to be played on both computers and stand-alone set-top players.
System: Intel Core2 Duo 2.6GHz, OS=XP-Pro SP2, nVidia 8800 GTX, 4x 250GB SATA II HDDs, Adobe PP2, Encore2, etc.
This way, we'll know what you have, what you want, what gear you're using to get there, and what you've done so far.
Good luck,
Hunt

Problem when burning to DVD in DDSP

when i burn my project to a DVD it keeps informing me that my bit rate is too high. however reducing the bit rate size it still continues to prompt me with the same message, even when i have set the bit rate at its minimum value. The bit rate controls that i am changing are in the preferences of the whole program (whether these are the wrong settings i am changing), if anyone can help me that would be brilliant or if there is any further information you need from me so this matter can be resolved that would be much appreciated

The search function for the forums has changed but you can still try to locate that term You will probably find the problem is your audio file is consuming all of your available bit budget. The way we used to get aournd that was to convert the audio portion using Compressor to AAC or AC3. I think theoperation is more or less automatic in DVDSP4 but you did not indicate which version you're using. The audio conversion process is explained in the DVDSP manual.

Quality problems when burning a dvd with Premier Elements 11

I purchased a while ago, but just recently installed Premier Elements 11. I previously had 9 and 10. 11 was great until I burned to a disc. The quality is very substandard. Have you come up with a fix for this? I have read many other complaints about the quality of burning.
Until I can get a fix, I have uninstalled 11 and gone back to version 10.

Irene
Thanks for reporting on your results. Much appreciated.
Do you have the opportunity to record 1080p instead of 1080i? If so, we would be interested in the results. But, for now, just some miscellaneous comments.
1. What are you using to apply the pan and zoom effect?
Pan and Zoom Tool
Keyframing of the Motion Position property for Pan and Motion Scale property for Zoom
Presets under fx Effect/Presets for pan or zoom.
Are you applying the same pan and zoom effect to each of the photos?
If so (an not using the Pan and Zoom Tool),
Pan and zoom one photo, then copy/paste effects and adjustments for a group selection of the rest.
If using the Pan and Zoom Tool, then consider
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Pan & Zoom Tool, More Than One Photo at a Time
This is acceptable for a few photos, but the increased duration that it will add to the Timeline content may make it prohibitive.
We are not Adobe here. Rather user to user. We are all visitors here. But, please let me know if you have any additional questions or
need clarification on anything that I have written.
Best wishes

Problems burning a dvd backup in Mac OS X tiger

hi I have some problems to burn a dvd in my mac, when its burning the dvd for some reason the system reboots I'm trying burning with the finder and the computer its a G5 have an OS X tiger 10.4.11 running in an Intel processor box, with two user accounts, the admin and an other one who's have no admin permission I m login into this account when I tried to burn the dvd I dont know if the permission have something about because with the admin account it works great
so thats my problem if you have an Idea please help me guys
thanks for your time

it's a DVD+R media disc. In Finder I can see the
files on the disc, there's a folder Audio_TS and
VIdeo_TS. There's .VOB, .IFO, .BUP files in the
Video_TS folder and there are no files in the
Audio_TS folder.
The folders and files sound correct (the Audio_TS folder should be empty).
Try launching Apple's DVD Player application in the Application Folder. It should give you the option to open a DVD (I think that's what the new version of Player says - the old version used to say to open the VIDEO_TS Folder)

Audio in movie burned to DVD missing or sporadic.

I have converted a movie to Quicktime using MPeG Streamclip; something I have done numerous times. The converted movie plays fine with good audio on my iMac hard drive. I want to simply burn the movie to a DVD (without turning it into a project). But, after burning the movie to a DVD the audio only comes though sporadically and out of sync, AND it seems the DVD does not want to respond to my "control". Meaning, when I hit the stop button the DVD continues to play a bit before stopping. I have burned a number of DVDs with this burner - succesfully I might add - and this is the first I have had this problem. Is it possible the burner is failing or is there another problem I am missing? Thanks!

Further to the above problem, I burned a DVD of the same movie in another machine and have the same problem with the playback. The sound plays only intermittantly. Seems is may be a problem with the conversion of the movie but still hoping for feedback from the community. Thanks.

Help - can't burn DL DVD+R discs

I just purchased a spindle of Memorex Dual Layer DVD+R discs to backup some of my project folders that are too large for single layer DVDs.However, I am getting the following error message at the start of every time I try to burn a disc.
"The disc can’t be burned because because communication between the computer and the disc drive failed (error code 0x80020022)."
I've been reading that others are also having a problem with burning DL-DVDs. Is this a drive problem or a media problem?
After the first 2 tries, I checked the "About this Mac" and saw that under "Disc Burning" it said I have a MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-868 drive and that for both CD write and DVD write it says -R -RW. Does that mean it doesn't support +R discs or DL discs.
I went back to the tech spec page for the MacBook Pro that I have (I bought it 3-1/2 months ago, so it's still new and should have the same specs listed, and there it states the specs as "Maximum write: 8x DVD-R, DVD+R; 4x DVD-R DL (double layer), DVD+R DL (double layer), DVD-RW, DVD+RW; 24x CD-R; 10x CD-RW"
So what is the issue here, and is there a fix for this?

Hi eric,
Your drive, as the specs say, should be able to burn +R discs.
As Bram has suggested , when only -R discs appear under system profiler this can usually be rectified by simply resetting the PRAM, and sometimes simply by restarting normally, though on rare occasions some level of OS re-installation can also be required.
Those Memorex discs are a bit of a worry , too, though. Generally you are better off sticking with Verbatim, Maxell or TDK with Apple drives. Memorex have a somewhat unfortunate reputation for compatibility problems, I'm afraid, though it depends which actual third party manufacturer has supplied them with your particular batch to some extent.
But you will need to sort out the "-R only" problem first regardless. Once you have done this you may find that your particular batch of Memorex are fine. I'd be very wary about buying them for your Mac in future , though.
Cheers
Rod
