Probleme mit Disc Images

Stelle seit kurzer Zeit fest, dass mein Rechner Probleme mit Disc Images hat. Eine eingelegte DVD wird z. B. nicht auf dem Desktop abgelegt und auch nicht erkannt. Das ist aber nicht generell der Fall, sondern nur ab und zu und auch nicht immer bei der selben DVD gleich.
Ein weiteres Beispiel: Gestern habe ich das Quark Update 7.2 heruntergeladen. Die Datei wurde entpackt und das Disc Image auf dem Desktop abgelegt. Heute morgen, als ich das Update dann installieren wollte, war nach dem Neustart des Rechners, das Disc Image verschwunden.
Habe schon die Zugriffsrechte repariert, aber das Problem bleibt.
Irgendwelche Vorschläge? Danke.

Ok plugged the original post into one of those free translators. I love how they translate hee hee.
The post translated from german to english:
Has assessed for short time that my computer problems with Disc images has. An inserted DVD becomes z. B. not on the desktop discarded and also not recognized. That is however not general the case, but rather only occasionally and also not always in the same DVD same.
A further example: Yesterday I downloaded the curds Update 7.2. The file became entpackt and the Disc image on the desktop discarded. This morning, when I wanted to install the Update then, was after the new start of the computer, that disappeared Disc image.
Would have already the access rights repaired remains, but the problem.
Any proposals? Thanks.

Problems With Disc Image

After I have finished my project, I choose to Save As Disc Image. From here I've been viewing my project using DVD Player. The problem is, when it plays back, there is one slide that I have deleted, but keeps showing up in playback and without a transition so it makes it look jerky. I don't know how to solve this. I've deleted and re-burned the project as a disc image 5 different times now, and I still have the same problem. Any ideas??

Hello...If this is a project that you did in iMovie first and then brought into iDVD, then this could be the problem.
If there was a transistion (sp?) before the slide in question, then you need to delete that trans. and you should the see the slide that keeps sneaking in. Once you have deleted those two items, you can then put your transistion in again and send to iDVD.

Burning From a Disc Image Problems??

I recently purchased iDVD 5. The best feature in the new iDVD for me is the ability to save my projects to disc image which lets me keep just the disc image on my hard drives with a file size of roughly 3-4 GB. This saves me a TON of space as I was having to save all of the self contained movie files along with the DVD projects in order to burn more copies for my clients in the future.
My concern is that burning these extra copies of my projects for my clients with disk utility is not as "solid" a way to create DVDs as it would be to simply burn all the copies I may need directly from iDVD.
Is this true?
Also, I have never been able to verify any disk that I burned from a disk image using disk utility. These disks play fine on my new Sony DVD player, but I have had some complaints from clients that the disks skip and don't play perfectly.
What could be causing this problem?
If I can play these disks on my home DVD player even though my computer can't verify the burn, should I be concerned?
Is the inability to verify a problem with my burner?
Pete

Len,
Others have had the verify "problem." I NEVER verify.
Really? Then I don't need to verify? My burning process goes to this automatically, I think. How do I stop it?
BTW, I did install Tiger, no problem, installed FCE and made a very short movie, only one transition, no added audio, but burned with iDVD just great! It takes some adjusting, but I am getting the hang of it, and it hasn't been too hard to learn yet
I think I will use iMovie--> for my photos/videos to DVD projects for a while, but when I get to mostly videos and all digital photos, I think I will go back to FCE (or whenever I have lots of time to be REALLY creative)
PS. I'm SURE you ARE younger than I am! I'm like Old Toad...we're older than dirt!

Problems Restoring From Disc Image

Hello Support Community
I'm attempting to replace a suspected failing HD on my G5. I made a disc image of the suspected drive in disc untility, and have it on an external drive. I purchased a 500GB WD Cavier Black HD for my new drive. I removed the old drive, and put the new one in. I noticed on the old drive that there was a jumper installed all the way to the right when the drive is installed in the machine. I tried restoring with the jumper installed, and without. I had better luck with the jumper installed. I got an error that said device does not support this action when I tried to restore to the new drive without the jumper installed. Now, without the jumper installed, when I go to restore from my disc image, I get a Restore Failure error saying "An error (2) occurred while copying. (No such file or directory)" Once I click ok, and try it again, I now get a message that says "An error (16) occurred while copying. (Resource Busy)"
Any ideas what my problem would be at this point? It seems as though my .dmg is functioning just fine. It mounts, and looks to have all contents of my old boot drive. The new drive is able to be formatted just fine. Did I buy the wrong tupe of drive? Is it too new?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

Hello,
I think you might need a Jumper on pins 5&6 to slow the drive to G5 SATA 1 speeds...

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.

Automator problem parsing variable as filename in disc image

Dear apple/automator forum.
I have just recently started using Automator, and i am experiencing a little problem which im hoping to get a helping hand with.
First, heres my screenshot (sorry its in danish, ill explain what iwe done): www.bergsorensen.dk/screenshot.png
- As for text
- Set new variable
- Get finder items
- New disc iamge from finder items (variable as filename)
I made a service which creates a new disc image of the selected finder items. Now, "in front" of that, i wanted a dialog box, where you could type the name of the new disc image - filename.
The creating disc image flow works perfectly, though i cant get the dialog box to parse the variable as name to the disc image.
Any suggestions?
Best
Kasper

You might want to update your forum settings, since your screenshot indicates you are running *Snow Leopard's Automator*.
The problem seems to be that you are mixing the text from your dialog with the input items - note that any selected items are already passed to the service, so you don't have to use additional actions to get the input. You just need to add a few actions to save and restore the original input when getting your other variable(s):
1) *Set Value of Variable* { Variable: _Original Input_ } -- save the input items
2) *Ask for Text* ( *Ignore Input* ) -- get a name for the disk image
3) *Set Value of Variable* { Variable: _Image Name_ } -- now we can use this variable in other actions
4 *Get Value of Variable* { Variable: _Original Input_ } ( *Ignore Input* ) -- get the input items back
5) *New Disk Image* { (drag _Image Name_ variable to the "Volume name" and "Save as" fields) }

Possible Fix for Disc Image Creation Problems

I've noticed a number of posts describing problems similar to the one I had: with my first session with iDVD5, I tried creating an .img disc image (thanks to Apple, btw, for building that function in -- and for the new progress bars!), but it hung up all night long on the "Burn" task, and I had to force quit, leaving me with no image at all.
I used disk image burning exclusively in iDVD4, because it allowed me to preview the result before committing it to a physical burn and prevented coaster-burning if something went wrong. I had had buffer problems when burning directly from iDVD -- but never with Disk Utility.
Of course, in iDVD4, you cannot just burn a disk image using the app. Most are aware that using "Hurz" and "Pfurz" (see posts under iDVD4) provided a great workaround, however, and that's what I used.
Well, it occurred to me that perhaps Hurz and Pfurz -- which basically interfered with iDVD4 to the user's advantage -- ought NOT to be in play with iDVD5. So I removed them from my user folder, et voila -- the very next time I tried the disk image function in iDVD5 (with the same project), it worked perfectly.
But I can only SUSPECT that this was the solution, unfortunately, because of the fact that an automated maintenance script had repaird my permissions in the meantime. The problem might have been permission troubles resulting from installation.
I do know this: removing Hurz and Pfurz and repairing the permissions worked for me. Hope it does for some others as well!

Thanks, Len. I kind of wish Apple would make a bigger deal of this. Repairing permissions fixes ALL KINDS OF THINGS! And it is a VERY good idea to do it regularly.
Like you, I do it once a week, using a wonderful freeware utililty called Onyx (search MacWorld or Google for it), which has a number of advantages over Disk Utility.
In the first place, it will execute all the maintenance scripts as well. You might know that OSX has a number of scripts it runs in the background for maintenance, some daily, some weekly, and some monthly. But they are generally set to run late at night, which means you need to leave the computer ON and AWAKE. I don't do this as much as I should, so running Onyx ensures that these scripts get run. Since using Onyx, I have NEVER had a crash.
Secondly, I can schedule it to do all this automatically, which is great - because I'm getting old . . . and I forget things. . . .

Problems burning DVD from iDVD disc image

I'm burning a disc image onto a DVD using Toast and can't seem to get the disc to automatically start or be read by either my home DVD player or my Powerbook G4 (through DVD player). I'm a little unclear if I burn the .img folder onto the DVD, the mounted drive containing the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS files, or the AUDIO_TS, VIDEO_TS files themselves. I've tried all of these and none have worked, which made me think that it was something wrong with my DVDproj file from whence the disc image was made.
Do I have to have something in the box labeled "Drag content here to automatically play when disc is inserted" in teh MapView? I'd prefer it to just bring up the DVD menu.
Thanks!

Pre edit:
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

Disc image too large

Hi all,
new to fourm.it is a great service.my question is that i am having some problems with skipping/freezing dvd discs. a few have come back from clients, not very good!! i understand about burn speeds and discs. so i am trying to burn a disc image to dvd 1hr 48mins to a single layer disc but the saved file from idvd is too big 5.3G. I thought that a movie umder 2hrs would fit on a single disc. I have just used a simple idvd project.I can burn it direct to disc and it will do it.
Also can you delete the captured media once you have created a disc image?
thanks all and best wishes
g5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi Andy
108 minutes is less than 120 minutes. Then You have to add the material You
put into the building of the DVD menu.
All included should be less than 120 minutes. No: Gb does not have ANY relevance
for iDVD.
But probably You have selected the wrong kind of Quality.
- Best Performances = less than 60 min
- Best Quality = less than 120 min.
Backwards Yes but it's like this.

Copying a disc image

I created a disc image from iDVD to burn a movie. All that worked fine. I put the disc image on my desktop. I am now through and would like to copy the image to an external drive for archive. I keep getting "error code 0." I have tried several different methods to accomplish this with the same results.. Please help. thanks.

The size of the disc image is the source of your problem. A drive that is formatted as FAT32 cannot contain a single file that is more than 4GB in size. You need to split the image into smaller pieces or reformat the drive in order to copy the disc image to it.

Disc image file exported from Encore CS4 won't work

Hello,
I have a problem concerning the export of a disc image file in Encore CS4. I recently upgraded to CS4 and wanted to continue my project which I started editing with CS3. While working with CS3 I already did image files from this project for burning and testing the DVD. Back then it worked with no problems.
However, since using the CS4 version Encore does the image without any problem, but I can't use the image file in any way afterwards. I mounted it with Daemon Tools as I did before, but the DVD won't play in any software DVD player I have installed (Media Player Classic, Windows Media Player, Nero Showtime) nor can I access the file structure over a file manager. Nevertheless NeroInfoTool and ImgBurn say there is a DVD in the virtual drive. Then I exported the DVD project into a folder and now I can see the files in the file manger but again no player will play it.
Has anyone experienced this before and is able to help? It would be very appreciated since I don't want to downgrade back to CS3 :-)
It's Encore CS4, Version 4.0.1.048 on a 2,8 GHz HT CPU, 2 GB RAM, Nvidia Geforce 6800 UT, lots of HDD space, XP + SP3.
Thank you,
Chris...

Hey,
thank you both. As I said no player accepts the project exported to a folder. It doesn't matter if I point the player to the video_ts.ifo or just the folder - it won't play. As a consequence I re-installed Encore CS3 in which exporting worked fine and guess what - the exported image and folder output doesn't work either. Since it worked before in CS3 it comes down to the conclusion that either I did some editing to the project that screwed the project or Encore CS4 did. Checking for mistakes in the project and previewing in inside CS4 everything seems fine. So might it be CS4 that ****** up the project file??? I mean it's full of strange bugs so it could easily be that. I even updated my Daemon Tools yesterday and it won't make a difference.
Or could it be something else I haven't considered yet? Any ideas? I just don't want to build the whole project again which might not even work if it's some other error. This is a desperate call for help
Thanks,
Chris...

Why did F4 beta uninstall itself after I put MacBook to sleep and had to be rebooted from the disc image?

I put my MacBook to sleep with Firefox 4 beta open and when I went to use it again it had vanished. My spotlight search yielded v. 3.6 and the v.4 beta installation file (.dmg). I opened v. 3.6 and declined to transfer v4 Add-ons . All tabs that were opened on v.4 beta opened on v. 3.6. I closed 3.6 and reinstalled v.4 beta from the disc image. I was warned to replace previous version (3.6) - which I did. V4 beta installed intact (bookmarks, add-ons, history etc.) but I lost my open tabs. My only concern is that I was required to replace v. 3.6 and don't want to risk losing bookmarks and history if v. 4 proves unstable. I am otherwise pleased with the new look and performance.

Yes, your iPhone has the classic signs of early onset Alzheimer's...
Assuming that nothing is pressing on the Home button when this occurs, try the basic steps as needed:
1. Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
2. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
3. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup.
If #3 doesn't help, there is a hardware problem such as a defective home button, and you should make an appt. with an Apple Store Genius bar.

Restore PSE 3 from a disc image to a re-formatted hard drive

I have Windows XP SP3 etc; Photoshop Elements 3.01; Acronis True Image 11; a 200GB hard drive (for images, audio, etc), a 250 GB hard drive for video storage and 500GB extl hard drive for backup of both hard drives. Some time ago I made a PSE backup onto the extl drive and a couple of incremental backups. I also have a disc image of both drives on the extl drive. With backup disc free space getting scarce I made a new full PSE backup and then deleted the original backups. To cure a number of conflict problems (due to multiple copies of Windows on both hard drives!) I re-formatted C drive and reinstalled the software, including PSE 3. I tried to restore my images and PSE catalog by means of PSE Restore from the PSE Backup; but after a while it asked me for discs/backups 2 and 3 - the ones I had deleted. All of the images are restored onto the C drive, but only a few tags - no Collection detail. Using Aconis I can mount the original disc image of the C drive, and the jpeg/CR2 and catalog psa files are in the usual place. However, file paths are somewhat different between the mounted copy of the C drive and the present actual C drive. Can anybody please advise me how to proceed from here? Is it just a case of using PSE 3 to move the catalog psa file from the Acronis mounted image into the C drive? The problem seems similar to the various threads that I've read on transferring to a new computer with PSE 7, but I am reluctant to "move" (as distinct from "copy") files from the Acronis image without some advice. Can anybody please offer some advice?

Hi dj_paige
Thanks a lot for the answer to my problem. Having resolved my problem with Acronis I then followed your instructions; the images and catalog with Collections etc are now fully restored. Thanks again for your help.

Encore cs4 creates invalid disc image (iso file)

I have a video I edit in premiere cs4, exported an .mpg file that I import into encore to create a DVD. This works mostly fine (I have to delete the .xmp* file before importing to encore).
Today I edited the video, re-encoded the mpg file using quality 5 and 2 pass vbr, and added a slide show (about 6 photos) to the encore project. It also builds fine to a disc image (iso file). But when I try to burn the iso file using windows 7, it tells me the iso image is invalid. I tried imgburn and got an error message like this:
session 1 track 1 MODE1 .... 2054
dvd format: MODE1 .... 2048
If I ask imgburn to continue it then says something about CSS and encryption, which I don't use, so I assume the iso file is too messed up.
I burned a DVD5 directly from encore, and it works in a dvd player.
Any idea why this invalid iso happens and whether there is a work-around?
Since cs4 is not the latest version, I assume there is no hope of bug fix?

There seem to be major problems in the disc creation process. I am struggling since several days now and I am not able to produce a working Blu-Ray Disk or iso image with Encore 5.5:
- when producing Blu-Ray ISO images, you get an ISO that is recognized as DVD iso in all virtual drive programs. Therefore, you cann not burn them on a BD-R disc, also viewing them is not possible because it is a "DVD with blu-ray content".
- when burning directly to disk, Encore does not close the sessing. This means, the Disk is not playable on all home Blue-Ray players. It was playable on my computer, but after closing the session manually the disc was a coaster.
- when burning on a virtual burner (Virtual CD 10), the Blue-Ray plays ok on my computer, but I am NOT able to make a ISO image from this disk because some errors (unreadable blocks) on the disk are reported during creation and image creation stops.
- from time to time (not reproduceable), Encore produces an additional AACS folder on the created Blu-Ray.
I am an experienced user and dont have any issues with other software solutions, but with Encore I was not able to get any usable results so far.

Burning from disc image

Trying to replicate a DVD for which I no longer have the iMovie files - successfully created a 3.44Gb .dmg file, BUT when trying to burn from this, I get "buffer underrun" messages. There is >17 Gb free space on the hard drive. Also, I am unable to copy the .dmg file to an external drive with 18 Gb free space as after about 2Gb it fails with an error message that the drive is full. Something funny about that disc image file?

I am using Disc Utility as per those directions, and this has worked with no problems on similar DVDs.
I also suggest you get the free download Mac Sweeper which you will find on http://mac.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Mac-Sweeper.shtml
Then:
1) Shut down/Restart without any applications running.
2) Run Mac Sweeper carrying out all the optimize options including repair permissions and, under clean, empty caches.
3) Now do your disc copy with nothing else running.
Onyx will have the same functions as Mac Sweeper. This is a bit of an overkill but it will give your system every chance of a trouble free burn.
