Problems burning disc on mac

I bought some 700mb, 80 minute empty discs to create a playlist for a friend, first off, I inserted the disc and highlighted all the songs I wanted in iTunes (31) and dragged them onto the disk, It then bought up a window for the disk with all the songs in place, and in the order I wanted them in. So I went ahead and pressed burn disc and it done so, I then put it in a cd player to test it, where I discovered there were only 28 of the 31 songs I chose, and they were not in the order I put them in by, frustrated I took another CD and tried a different method, burning the disc direct from the playlist on iTunes. Here it did not allow me to burn as many, only 22 intact, but I did so anyway, and had the same problem, only 18 of 22 were on the disc and they were muddled again, is there anyway to resolve this to get as many songs as possible and make sure they all go on, and in order!? thanks

Put the songs you want into a regular iTunes playlist, in the order you want them.
Make sure the play time is comfortably under 80 minutes. Aim for 75 minutes or less.
Make sure all the files are accessible on your hard drive and are playable. Not missing, and not in the cloud.
Then do the burn, setting disc format to "audio CD."

at the moment i have had a disc in for at least 20 mins and it's still 'finishing' sems a bit long for 17 songs . also the fan is on almost all of the time , maybe that has a bearing .. ? I'd appreciate some help here as it is getting increasingly frustrating . alao when i put in the discs that i have used they do not register on the desktop . so i have been wasting lots of discs doing this .
Thank you all .

Problems burning disc

Made slideshow in iPhoto(5) sent to iDVD to burn. After I made the dvd I played in my dvd player and 2/3 rds the way thru the music failed? It played OK in preview( actually I made 2 seperate slide shows 1 worked fine the other didn't). I check this site out and read to test as a disc image tried to do that but it keeps stalling at the end just before it finishes and I have to force quit. What can I do??

Thanks for the advice-I will check this out. So even though the music is OK in the slideshow preview the loss of music in the burned dvd could be from iTunes? WOW. I seem to be playing around more-ie jumping through hoops( like making one long songs out of many songs in Garage and buring cd's and going back to iTunes)than I thought I would have to with my Mac. I have another post in iMovie where my project of many days just disappeared in my external HD so if I sound a little frustrated I guess I am.But thansk for the advice and I will let know what happens

Problem burning disc

Hi DavidPK,
Thanks for your suggestions, I followed you suggestions, but unfortunately it did not work. Now the CD Burner Device is stating ' insert a disc - There is no disc in the CD or DVD burner.' The discs are all brand new.
I've checked the driver etc with microsoft, which states the system is working correctly and the most up to date driver is installed.

Problem burning disc with Disk Utility

I made a DVD in iDVD. I checked to see how big the project was and I had only used 1.2G or the 4G available. I then did "save as disc image" to my desktop. After that was completed, which took over 2 hours, I tried to use Disk Utility to burn a DVD. When I insert the DVD it says there is not enough space available. I then check my project in iDVD and the line that tells the amount of space used is completely red (all used up and over). I completely shut down iDVD and reopen and the project is back at the 1.2G size. It's a relatively small project so I'm fairly sure that it really is 1.2 and not over the limit.
I tried this procedure twice to make sure there was enough space when I start the whole process.
In the very beginning I tried to burn the project within iDVD. It burned and ejected but the screen didn't reflect that it had finished and did not ask if I wanted to burn another disc. The screen said it was still finishing the burn. The disc had ejected and it played just fine on my t.v. The only problem with this way is that I need to make lots of copies of this and having to force quit and start again makes every disc take approx. 2-1/2 hours each.

Evidently I'm not understanding what you are asking.
When I'm in iDVD I go under Project and click
"Project Info". Project Duration is 36:01 minutes.
In DVD Capacity it says 1.0 GB of 4.2 GB is being
used. I thought that was what you were wanting.
Thank you for your help. If you could tell me where
to look for the info you want I will do it promptly.
The Project Information probably doesn't include the DVD-ROM contents you want to include (and it's only a poor guess at what will be actually needed).
If your project is 36 minutes, I would expect it to actually require over 2 GB of DVD space with either 'Best Performance' or 'Best Quality' selected.
It was my understanding at the start that you HAD created a disk image file on your hard drive of your iDVD project. Is this true? This WOULD include the DVD-ROM area if things went well. I am asking you to tell me the actual size of this disk image file (click on it to select it and then select File>Get Info).
I suspect the size of the DVD-ROM area you want to create is causing your problems. Are all the digital images you want to include in the DVD-ROM area in one folder? If so, what is the size of this folder (click on it to select it and then select File>Get Info)?

Problems burning discs after Itunes 75 upgrade

I upgraded to itunes 75 and was immediately unable to burn playlists. Has anyone experienced and resolved this problem?
How can I get adn go back to an older itunes version?

i have the same problem im told lowing burn speeds can help, also try making a new playlist to burn, sometimes the list is somehow corrupted. You wont be able to go back to the old i-tunes but its likely to get resolved with the next update.

Burning Disc: Won't Burn Song List Sequence

I uploaded one of my Beatles albums. I created a Playlist for it and moved the songs there. I decided I wanted a different sequence of the songs, so I moved them around. Once satsified, I burned the disc... BUT, it did not record in the sequence I created. Instead, it recorded the songs in the original order of the album I uploaded.
What's going on here? How do I accomplish this? Thanks.

I'm sure its frustrating, but I've not had problems burning discs in Encore, both single video discs and multi video discs IE using a menu to select which to play. I'm running windows 7, HP Z400, with an internal burner. The error message you had looks like a Mac issue. A Google search revealed many similar errors - not all related to Encore. I'm sure there are plenty of Mac users out there burning discs OK. It would be useful to hear from them.
Having said that, our Mac pro's are dual boot and I have had issues with them rejecting blank discs. IE tell Encore to burn 4 discs of a project, it burns one, wants the second disc, it takes it in and after a while it rejects it. I gave up and burned them in the Z400.
Maybe Adobe need to work on the Mac versions a bit more?

Issues burning discs on iTunes/ error message about burn speed

I've never had problems burning discs on iTunes until today, I tried to burn one of my playlists on a Memorex CD-R.
- The burn seemed to be going OK at first, but the drive started making an obnoxious, loud noise by the 4th song out of 16.
- The progress bar in iTunes then said "burning disc, finalizing" even though the CD had not been finished.
- The drive practically launches the CD out, causing it to drop, rather than ejecting half way and holding it like usual. An error message came up saying something along the lines of, "iTunes cannot burn this CD because the burn speed is too high for the CD drive or media. Lower the burn speed in the burning pane of preferences"
- I tried it again without changing the burn speed (which I suppose was set to maximum) thinking it was something to do with the disc. The same thing happened the second time I tried to burn the disc. The reason I didn't change the burn speed when it asked me to was because I'd never been prompted about the burn speed and I've used the whole stack of these Memorex CD's without problems.
I am trying to figure out where the problem really lies - does this sound like an iTunes issue (which needs an update except that my system does as well), CD issue or a drive issue? Is there a more reasonable burn speed I should try next time?
Any help would be so appreciated, thank you!!

Burning discs on new iMac

I'm having problems burning discs on my new iMac Intel G5. When I try burning discs from iDVD, the disc ejects and I get a message telling me to put in a recordable DVD. I've tried resetting the NVRAM and SMU. I've tried Sony and Memorex discs. Once I got it to work but it took 1 hour to burn an iMovie that had about 5 slides in it.
However, it does burn to disc when dragging photos or documents to the DVD and then burning the Disc. It also burnt a disc straight from iMovie but for the 5 slides it took about 30 minutes.
I'm using the same discs I used on my old G5 Power PC machine. I took it to an authorized Apple dealer and they said nothing was wrong with it.
Any ideas?

I got the DVD burning to work. I tried some different discs and found that the +R seems to work better. I purchased some new Maxwell +Rs and some new Memorex -Rs. I got both to work however the -Rs seemed to have taken longer to burn. I tried some Panasonic -Rs and they worked. I tried a Maxwell RW and it worked.
I also had tried Sony -Rs and some other Memorex -Rs and they didn't work. The computer kept telling me to put in recordable DVDs. These were new DVDs and I couldn't get them to work. They worked in my older iMac G5 non intel machine.
My conclusion is that the DVD player in the new iMac isn't as forgivable as the DVD player in the older G5. I never had trouble with that DVD player rejecting anything.
Thanks Don for your input on buring software. I'm going to look into getting either Toast or Popcorn. Any opinions on which is the best? Do these software packages create an initial screen like iDVD does along with chapters and themes?

Mac computer won't read burned discs, need help...

Heya,
So I'm not sure when this started happening exactly, but my Mac stopped being able to read burned discs for some reason. I've tried discs that have audio (legal MP3's) and applications on them (also legal copies of the discs) and they show up in finder but as a blank disc. I'm wondering if there was an update of some sort recently that started causing this issue somehow? Can someone help? Thanks!

Related Problem?
I have had my MacPro for more than a year, just updated to OSX 10.6.4
I have not been able to play a particular,commercially bought DVD. No clue about the format of it. It comes up as Untitled. My MacPro has worked OK with other video DVDs and a bunch of install discs. I just discovered this new DVD player problem today, with this new DVD just bought through snail mail.
However, this same new commercially recorded DVD plays beautifully on my old 17" powerbook bought brand-new in 2006, today running OSX 10.4.11
It is sad so many bloat features seem to cloud real needs of working people, or what else could it be? My system has had some other livable problems like the fact i had to trash the much needed OSX Dictionary Application, because it started opening up a window for every word i already looked up-- This problem seems to be due to Migrtation Assitant picking up some weird police state aps or what not. It is hard to live without Migration Assistant because aps like CS4 are so hard to get running on a new system. So grin and bear it.

Having Problems Copying Files to Burn Disc Folder

Ok here's the deal. With Tiger I was able to copy files from volume or desktop and paste them in burn disc folder then burn disc from finder. Now whenever I paste them, they paste as alias' (shortcuts) not as the full file. What's going on?
(Keep in mind I do know the dragging creates shortcuts, I'm not dragging I'm copying and pasting, and it always worked great until I upgraded.)
This is extremely annoying. I hate burning through programs and I'd really rather not if someone can explain to me how to fix this problem.

From Mac Help:
Creating a burn folder
You can create a burn folder to collect files you want to burn onto a CD or DVD. Burn folders are especially handy for burning several copies of a folder, or for regularly backing up a set of files by burning them to discs.
To create and use a burn folder:
Click the desktop (the background area of your screen) if you want to keep the burn folder on the desktop; otherwise, open the window where you want to keep the burn folder.
Choose File > New Burn Folder, and type a name for the folder.
Drag to the burn folder the items you want to burn to a disc.
The Finder places aliases to the items in the burn folder; the originals are not moved.
When you’re ready to burn the folder’s contents to a disc, double-click the burn folder and click Burn.
Insert a blank disc into your computer’s optical drive, or into an optical drive connected to your computer, and follow the instructions.
The original files that the aliases point to are burned to the disc. In addition, if any folder in the burn folder contains aliases, the original files for those aliases are burned to the disc as well.
If the Finder cannot find the original file for an alias, it asks whether to cancel burning or to continue without that item. If you cancel, the disc remains empty.
If a burn folder is in the sidebar of a Finder window, you can quickly burn its contents to a disc by clicking the burn icon beside it.
~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~
There is a gear on the bottom of the burn folder in Finder, that appears when a blank DVD is loaded, which when clicked will tell you how much room has been used on the disk or the remaining space, can't remember which at this stage.
I burnt 5 DVDs plus CDs via aliases in burn folders to move all my records from my old iBook to my MacBook Pro, both running Leopard. Believe me it does work. ~ not one coaster either.
This is a user to user forum, thanks and a smile go a long way.
By the way Tiger used alias to Burn discs too:

Problems Burning in Disc in Encore CS4

Hello all,
I just recently upgraded to Adobe Encore CS4 and I'm trying to burn a blu-ray disc but the program is giving me problems.
All of my video assets are .m2v movie clips, which includes the motion menus I am using, compressed to that format in Sorenson Squeeze.
The first time I tried to burn the disc I received an error before it even started to render the menus. The error was Src\VideoFrameManipulators.cpp-563. I did some searching and decided to import the quicktime movies of the menus and use the quicktimes instead of .m2v files. When I tried to build the project again it got through rendering almost all the menus and then I received this error message Src\pp\\PPixHandleUtilities.cpp-114].
After that I tried transcoding each menu video separaretly and that did work, I got the same PPixHandleUtilities error again. I tried re-importing the files, relinking the files, etc, nothing is working. I'm at a loss.
I have burned a blu-ray disc already so I don't think it is the drive.
I'm running Windows Vista Business 64-bit as the operating system.
Any thoughts?
Kristin

I too am having problems burning data disks to dvd. While it appeared to burn without problems. It took over an hour sometimes 2 or 3 to burn the dvd which upon completion was not recognized in either my Dell or my Mac. I hooked up my external drive where my music is kept to my Mac and it appears to have burnt correctly readable by both machines and took about ten minutes to burn each dvd. So it appears the Windows version is majorly screwed.

Re: problem burning multiple discs from iDVD

I am having a problem burning multiple DVDs. My first DVD burns fine but my second one won't complete the process. It stays in the "BURN PROCESS Current Operation: Writing Lead-Out..." phase for hours without ever completing the burn. I am using good quality Taiyo Yuden 8X DVD-R blank discs. Can anyone offer any advice/solutions? Thanks!

Hi
Double Click on the hard disk up righthand side of Your desktop. Often named
Macintosh HD.
At the bottom of this new window it reads nn Objects and xx.xx Gb free space.
Else:
Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:
Many possible origins. Most common:
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disc if it is less than 10Gb should raher have 25Gb
• Hard disc is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disc (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iDVD pref file - or rather start a new account - log into this and re-try
• Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.3, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.3 - is OK

Problems burning dual layer discs using 10.3.9

Hi please can someone help!!
I am pretty knowledgeable about macs but having problems.
My mac came with a pioneer 103 superdrive and have had no problems burning CDs and DVDs with Toast 6 Titanium. Recently i wanted to back up my dvds i have bought as some you can't easily buy anymore.
So i bought an external usb pioneer 108 and some 2.4x Dual layer DVD+R Rivision discs.
When ever i burn it gets right to the end of finishing and comes up with various errors and says it may have a lead-in lead-out connectivity problem. I have installed a patchburn which recognised both dvd drives and i installed before trying to burn. I have read somewhere that OSX 10.2.9 + can burn Dual layer and i have 10.3.9.
I have tried best and 2x with no joy. I am also using the setting DVD-ROM (UDF). After the disc mounts it plays through DVD player but is really jolting and is spit out by my normal DVD player connected to my TV.
I have got the DVD info off the disc using MactheRipper and just placing the two folders Video T_S and the other on the disc. I am keeping the Name as it was orginally. I have successfully copied a DVD that was less than 4.7gb which worked on both of my dvd players with my Pioneer 103 drive that can only burn normal DVDs.
I have not tried burning any other disc formats on the Pioneer 108 but felt it was a software problem rather than a hardware.
I have looked on Pioneer.co.uk and they have Firmware's i can download for the Pioneer 108 but not sure what firmware is or does? or whether they are PC or Mac versions.
thanks for your time, hope i have given all information required, would appreciate anyones help.

Hi
See Mac OS 10.4 Help
And Mac OS 10.3 Help
You need Tiger if you want to burn DL Media using the Finder, otherwise you'll need to invest in Roxio's Toast.
