Problems with burned DVD in iDVD - Works in some players, not in others

Hi, I'm having a strange problem with a DVD I burned in iDVD.
I have a disc image that I made in iDVD and then burn the Audio_TS and Video_TS folders to a DVD.
I burned to a Memorex DVD+R.
The video pops up fine and plays on my computer after it burns, but if I eject the disc and try to re-insert it, the DVD preview says "Supported disc not found". It did this same thing when I tried it in my Macbook.
It works fine in my standard DVD player, but I also tried it on my Playstation 3 and it did not play.
A few things I am going to try is buring directly from iDVD instead of first making a disc image, and also using DVD-R, although I heard that DVD+R is generally a better format to use.
Someone also told me that DVD+R does not play on macs, which I question.
If anyone has any other suggestions or might know why this is happening, I would greatly appreciate it. It is an important project that needs to be done soon! Thanks.

The disc image option is within iDVD: File > Save as Disc Image. If you switch to DVD map map mode you can drag your movie to a spot prior to the menu so that the movie plays automatically when put into the player. Under advanced, you can set the movie to loop.... otherwise I think it goes back to the menu when done playing. BTW, all DVDs MUST have a menu it is part of the DVD specification. It is just a matter of whether you see the menu. As far as exporting your project back to tape... you won't loose any quality and your audio, along with your video and any editing to each will export back to tape. However, a MP3 is not generally considered a higher quality file (although perhaps the recorder was closer to the source?). As a matter of fact, if you are editing your audio I strongly suggest using a file sampled at at least 16-bit/48Khz, AIFF (or WAV or anything lossless).
In regards to the slow burn speed: I agree that a slower burn speed is better than the fastest burn speed (due to error corrections ect). However, I would choose a middle of the road burn speed. If my choices are 4x, 6x, or 8x, I would choose 6x. If it is 2x, 4x, 6x, I would choose 4x. And yes, quality of blank media can effect the playback of a disc that played once just fine.

Problem with burning DVD's

I have Roxio Toast Titanium and I have a problem with burning DVD's. When I put a blank DVD-R in my superdrive, select the files and go to burn; the advanced recording options will not let me deselect the check in "close disk". It is shaded. But when I use a CD-RW I can and so far the Roxio help has...well has not been help at all. I mean why would I spend the money to buy a software package that lets me do the same thing as the basic OS-X disk utility would let me do? Drag a file, burn it and close the disk from any future use....
Sorry if this does not belong here, I did not see a area for general software questions way back in the main forum area not one here.

Donald,
Hi and thank you.
To give you more details on what I am trying to do; I am trying to burn in Mac & PC format. I am mainly trying to back up all my assorted college files (I am a college student), these files are lecture notes in Word with embedded audio recordings, standard Word documents such as essays, etc., spreadsheets, PDF documents, etc. The files I am attempting to burn should not be larger than 4.7 gb and Roxio has not given me a warning that it would be.
I am just frustrated that when I put in a DVD-R or -RW I only have one option, and that is to close out the disk when it is finished burning it. I have also gone to the recording tab, on the menue bar, to uncheck the "close disk" box after I put in a blank DVD and before I select files to burn. The option is shadded preventing me from even trying, which is not the case for a CD!
Thank you!

Problem with burned DVD on DR8-A

Hi everybody,
I have a strange problem.
If you could help me it will be great.
I burned a Memorex 8x DVD+R on my DR8-A at 4x speed. This works fine.
So after i look my DVD in Windows Explorer and it shows me the all the files ( i have twenty video files of 200 MO each) of my burned DVD. But i can only access to the 10 first ones. I see the others but i can't copy them to hardrive, i can't launch them with Windows Media Player (they are movie files).
My PC configuration is :
ASUS A7V8X
AMD Athlon XP 2400+
512 MB RAM
80 GB MAXTOR DiamondMax Plus 9 7200rpm IDE, 8Mb
120 GB MAXTOR DiamondMax Plus 9 7200rpm IDE, 8Mb
Leadtek Winfast A280 LTD
MEMOREX 16x DVD player
MSI DRA-8 DVD writer.
Windows 98 SE

You can use Nero CD-DVD Speed Utility to check if you have the disc burnt properly.

Problem with Burning DVD/Audio

iMovie HD version 5.0.2. I have been editing movies and burning DVDs for more than a year and have not encountered this problem before. When I play my latest movie, there doesn't seem to be a problem with the music that I imported in only one of the audio tracks. However, when I try to burn a DVD, the video encoding proceeds as usual but the audio encoding stalls when it appears to be about 90% complete. I have produced movies that are 2 hours long and have not run into this problem. The current movie is a little over 1 hour long, so I don't think the length is a problem.
Background info: As in the past, the source of the movie I am editing is a DVD that Walmart converted from old video films. I CINEMATIZED the DVD which I have done in the past to be able to edit the movie. When I copied the WALMART version of the movie, I only imported/copied the video portion and NOT the audio.
I hope this explanation of my problem is detailed enough. I am not very technologically educated so I am limited in my ability to explain the details.

Hi
May be this applies.
*No audio on DVD disc.*
Most common origin:
1 Imported audio from iTunes:
• In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
• Use this in Your movie project
2 Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
Before burning the DVD:
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If OK:
• Make Your DVD - or -
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple Disk Util tool - and at an as slow speed as possibly eg x1
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it
Yours Bengt W

Problem with burning DVD

Hi,
Is there anybody who can help me? I try to burn a lot of photos at DVD (DVD+R), but there are problems. Burning is OK, but veryfying not. Then I get the message "Sector 1 unreadeble" and that's it. I got a new DVD station in my iMac, but the problem still goes on.

Does your iMac have an internal CD/DVD drive, or are you using an external CD/DVD burner? If it's an external USB burner, do you have *ANY* other USB devices connected to your Mac other than your keyboard and/or mouse?

Quicktime working for some but not for others

Hello all,
I'm developing this website and it displays videos in quicktime format, but it's just not working for some people... It just won't play for some reason I just don't know 'cause I couldn't make the error happen to me and got no good help from others...
This is what's happening: @ www.thebrooklynbrothers.com/ clicking on "work, work and more work", then clicking on MEDIA and then FILM, it should display the QT movie and the user could play it, but for some reason it just shows up the QT logo and nothing more, as some people are telling me... could somebody check this out to see if it happens to you as well and tell me what could be the problem or any other details of the error so I can figure out what it is?
if you want to check a sample URL it loads from there, check this one: http://www.thebrooklynbrothers.com/new/portfolio/contentloader.php?file=cnneraq.mov&filetype=2
Thanks you so much for your time! ANY help would be greatly appreciated! I'm desperate right now!

I'm having a similar problem with videos uploaded onto my website. It all plays fine through Firefox and Internet Explorer on my other PC, but on this one (Win XP), I just get a blank page after it's finished loading. No video box or error mesage. Just lots of white space. I've checked all my settings, and have QT as my default player, but still nothing. Have also downloaded the latest QT updates. Is there something I'm missing in Windows or Internet Explorer? I don't have any problems with it on my Mac.
Thanks,
Lucy

Problem with burning dvd"s in idvd

I have just learnt from local Genius bar that idvd is no longer supported by Apple {after I had wasted loads of recordable dvds!}. The answer is to download midvd from the apple store - free at present and "share" from "imovie" direct to 'itunes", then drag movie to "desktop", the movie can then be dragged into midvd. I found the whole business of making a dvd very easy with this new software.

Note for potential users:
iDVD (and iDVD Pro) only supports MOV files containing H.264 video. Editor codecs (such as AIC and ProRes) are not supported.
http://shedworx.com/midvd-supported-file-types
It is not an adequate substitute for iDVD.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

Problem with burning dvds

I recently made and burnt a project consisting of home movies. I made five copies. When I checked out the dvds, a couple of chapters in the project (18 chapters) won't play from the chapter index but will play when playing the whole movie. (happens on all copies and there are chapter markers for those two chapters).
There also is one chapter that plays for awhile and then jumps to the next chapter before it is finished. (happens on all 5 copies)
Before I remade them, I thought I'd find out if anyone knew what might be the problem. Was it related to the making of five copies or something else?
Thanks

What you need to do in this situation so we can verify is to go to the file menu in iDVD6 and create a disc image of this project.
Click Here
Then use apple's DVD player app to verify proper playback. if it plays ok in the DVD Player app, then we can likely help isolate this issue .... perhaps a better media may help like verbatim DVD-R Minus.

Problems with burning DVD on Encore

Same settings as always but on this DVD it is squashed in preview and on DVD

no setting/don't transcode - And then the transcoded version that is imported to Encore.
I don't understand that. The usual workflow is Original Source -> Premiere Pro sequence/edit etc -> Export file for Encore (or dynamic link) -> Import file(s) to Encore. Describe what you are actually doing. The par has gone wrong somewhere.
square pixels (1.0) - And what does Encore show as to its aspect ratio when you right click on the asset and pick "interpret footage"?
That, of course, is wrong. Pal SD Widescreen should have a par of 1.46. You can try to change that interpret footage to manual and specify 1.46. It is possible that will fix your problem.

Do you know what is my problem? My Apple ID for iCloud and previous Mobil Me account should be [email protected] I am no longer using [email protected] for Mobil Me e-mail address. My current iCloud e-mail address is [email protected] is no longer of using [email protected] account for my e-mail. If this is the problem, please let me know how to remove the [email protected] account from your system. Thanks!

I'm having problems with syncing my iphone calendar to my ipad, but not the other way around

My iPhone 5 will not sync with my iPad calendar. If I make any changes or add an appointment on my iPhone it will not sync to either iCloud or my iPad, however if I add or change an appointment on my iPad or iCloud it will update my iPhone calendar. I've read where other's are having the same problems but haven't read anyone's post of where a solution has helped. Anyone??

There is no 8/9 pin to 30-pin to adopters that support audio. There are such adopters but they only support charging and syncing, not audio

Select list works for some users not for others

Apex 3.2, Oracle 10g
I have a page with a select list. (other select lists work fine) This view is a based on a view over a dblink with the chain being (public synonym -> dblink view -> dblink real view )
One user logs into the Apex app and the select list populates.
I log in to the app, either through the developer login or the app login, navigate to the same page and the select list does not populate.
What can cause this in Apex or is it a database issue.
Someone said it may be a rights issue, but I thought all Apex users appeared as the same 'user' to the database.
Miscellaneous points: The app authentication is via LDAP/OID and I can get the select list code work in SQL Developer.
Thanks,
Sam

not sure what you are asking
It is a "Select List"
The sql is
select x d, x r
from view
wher x is not null
order by 1
The view is a synonym in the application schema, points to a view on the same database instance (different user) which points to the real view via dblink to a different database instance.

Keyboard works on some boot, not on others.

Macbook Pro a1278 with osx10.6.6. Sometimes when the system boots it will take a long time on the light blue screen. In this scenario the keyboard will work. Other times the computer will boot swiftly as expected and the keyboard will not work. Lights such as caps lock will work and the screen will brighten in response to key touches but will not post text to any space.

Resolved via PRAM/NVRAM reset.

Audio problems from burning DVD's from Macbook Pro?

Hey guys,
So lately I have been having problems with burning DVD. I use either iDVD or Roxio Toast Titanium 11 too burn movies to play on my television. After burnign them I notice all of them have audio problems. It's as if the audio is faint for the dialogue but when background music plays its blaring! I checked my TV and its definitely not my Television because sound plays from both speakers. I was wondering if any other Macbook users had this problem or users of either of these programs had this problem because it's such a hassle burning movies without really enjoying them.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello, I am have problems with coruption of the photos in a slide show after burning the DVD in iDVD. This coruption does not always appear when you preview the project. I have slowed down the burn rate to 1X and kept the quality to professional.

I am having a great deal of problems with Data coruption in slide shows after I have burned a DVD in iDVD. I have changed burn rate from best to 1X with no difference in the coruption. I have the quality set to professional with no improvement. The size of the project is near 3.95, so it should fit on a single layer burn. Should I use either iMovie to create the slide show or "Photo to Movie"? Also, can anyone comment on how I preserve the highest quality picture resolution with a slide show? If I do use iMovie or Photo to Movie, the file size should exceed the 4.2 size so, will I have to buy new DVD's which are capable to handle the double layer burn and upto 8 GB? What DVD's are recommended? Any preferred brand? Are there problems with burning with double layer? I read on this blog of numerous problems.

DVDs are LOW resolution by today's standards - only about 0.3 megapixels - so there is no way they your images on a TV set will look "High Definition". See Preparing images for iDVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/6675.html for recommendations on image sizes to use. Using larger images won't give you better quality, andf in some cases, will lower you image quality because the Quicktime resizing that occurs isn't the best.
