Problems with DVD created in iDVD

I have a project I put together using Final Cut Express and Logic Pro. I created the DVD project using iDVD, and am having problems with the disks that I burn - they hang part-way through on various devices (after multiple burns).
I then saved the image to an .IMG file and tried to burn it on 2 different computers using different media (DVD+R and DVD-R) and at different burn speeds through Disk Manager. The disk burns ok, but fails validation with the message "Unable to burn ... (Verification of the burn failed.)"
When I mount the image on my local hard drive and play it through DVD Player, I experience no problems. This is really, really strange.

Nope. Can't do it that way. Much better to do a fresh install to each mac......or Unless you made a bootable clone of your existing HD with CCC or SuperDuper on a like mac system. Did you do this?
In other words, to clone an existing HD you'd have to format the ext. HD to mac os extended and then move the ext. HD to a similar mac from which you would boot you mac from like this:

Hope this helps but if not just comer on back.

Has anybody had problems with DVD's burnt with Optiarc drive

I am burning movie DVD's through iDVD. The movie formats are initially QT with PCM sound encoding. They seem to work well on an old Samsung DVD player, but stutter on a brand new Samsung computer. I do understand it could be a problem with the newer computer, but I would like to hear if anyone else has had any problems so I can see if the problem is more widespread.

I too am having trouble playing DVDs burned with my Optiarc drive. Sorry I don't have the solution, but I can add a data point to the story about problems with DVDs burned with Optiarc.
My current hardware: mid-2007 24" iMac, built-in Optiarc DVD RW AD-5630A with firmware 1AHM / MMC-3.
My scenario: after making home movies with iMovie '08 and iDVD '08, I either burn to DVD (TDK 16x DVD-R 4.7 GB) straight from iDVD or I save as disc image from iDVD and then burn the disc image from Toast 9. In either scenario, I can play the DVD on my iMac or any other Mac or Windows computer. However, it will not play on my Xbox (original Xbox, not the 360) because it freezes when trying to mount (sometimes the Xbox will not recognize the disc as a DVD, and sometimes it will begin mounting the disc and then freeze before displaying the title menu).
Before I bought my new iMac, I had the same workflow on an older 2003 17" G4 iMac that has a Sony DVD burner, and those discs play fine on all DVD players including my Xbox. To test the hypothesis that something happened to my Xbox around the time that I upgraded to my mid-2007 24" iMac, I burned several DVDs using my older iMac, and they continue to mount and play fine on the Xbox. On both my older and newer iMac, I have Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installed, same version of Toast 9, and I burn at the slowest speed (2x) on both. So it seems that the problem can be isolated to the Optiarc DVD burner, but I'm not sure if there are other factors at play here.
I searched the Optiarc site (www.sonynec-optiarc.com) but could not find a firmware update for the AD-5630A. However, I did find this site via Google:
Liggy's and Dee's modified NEC and Optiarc firmwares
http://liggydee.cdfreaks.com/page/en/Optiarc-AD-5630A/
Because I was not sure about the site's reputation or validity of the firmware, I have not tried it yet.

Problems with DVD Player 3.0.1 in G4/466

Problems with DVD Player in G4/466
Yes, I've a g4/466 with two disks. In the first there's system 9.2.2 and the DVD player goes perfect. In the second I've system 10.2 and the 9.2, and the DVD Player (3.0.1) on the system 10 begins to jump in the dock, but stop and nothing happens, I can't open it...
There's any way to reinstal it form system disks???
Or any download to check the error?
Thanks

1. Try using Pacifist to extract it from your Mac OS X 10.2 installation disks, and then run the combo updater for your version of Mac OS X and any applicable DVD Player updates.
2. Open the Console application in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and look for lines relating to the DVD Player.

Authorization problem with VF01 "Create Billing Documents"

Dear All,
We face following problem with VF01 "Create Billing Documents".
Transaction: VF01
User: Joe
Authorization of Joe:
     VKORG Sales Organization: A, B (authorization object V_VBRK_VKO)
     FKART Billing Type: 1, 2 (authorization object V_VBRK_FKA)
The objective for Joe:
   Joe is qualified to create bills in
      sales org A only for billing type 1 and in
      sales org B only for billing type 2.
   Joe should not be able to create bills for
      sales org A with billing type 2 and in
      sales org B with billing type 1.
How can we solve this problem?
We already searched for userexits without any success.
Any help or ideas are very appreciated.
Regards
Markus Wilhelm
Project Manager ERP

Dear,
There are standard authority-checks based on Sales organization (authorisation object V_VBRK_VKO) and/or Billing type (V_VBRK_FKA).
An option would be to create a new billing type, define specific authorisations and use the new billing type for these documents.
The bad thing is that you would also need a special (new) sales order type, because the billing document type is unique per sales order.
So maybe it is easier to have a different sales organization.
Another option would be to create a new authorization object and check it in the billing documents.
If you wish, you could modify program LV60A005 & LV60A006.
Then you might check various user/customer exits.
Some functions to check: EXIT_SAPLV60A_001/002,
EXIT_SAPLV60B_001 - 008, EXIT_SAPLV60B_010 - 011.

Problem with implicitly created Oracle pipes

Hi, I am having a problem with implicitly created Oracle pipes. I am not sure if this is the correct forum for this topic, but I could not see one which suited better..
I am using Oracle pipes as a commiunication mechanism between processes (some are written in PL/SQL and other in PRO*C).
The general problem I have is that if a timeout occurs during the communication process, I end up with 1 or perhaps 2 implicitly created pipes.
The biggest problem for me is that I am unable to determine if a create is implicitly created (via dbms_pipe.send_message or receive_message). This causes problems, since these implicitly created pipes are left behind and not deleted. I'll show you the basic flow of the processes and you shall see my problem.
server: create request pipe "req_pipe"
server: listen for request on requests pipe.
client: create two pipes for comms with server.
client: send request and the names of the newly created pipes to the server.
server: read request and pipename from request pipe (from this point all comms between the client and server are now done over the 2 pipes the client created).
server: send ack message to client to ensure they are still there (since requests can be queued in the request pipe and clients could have timed out before the request is received)
client: send "i'm still here" ack back to the server.
server: process request and send result back to client.
client: send ack back to server to let server know we have received the response.
server: send ack back to client to show that work is now committed.
OK thats the general event flow. I use the rule, that pipes created by a process are removed by a process. So the client always removes the pipes it created in all situations. But since this can happen at any point we can get in the situation:
client: timeout occurs, delete pipes.
server: send message to client (creates an implicit pipe) and therefor works (no errors raised)
server: do a read for response from previous message. (implicitly creates pipe) (will fail).
Now we have two implicitly created pipes! These pipes will exist until the database instance is shutdown, and in a poorly performing environment, we could get thousands of these pipes lying around... not a good situation.
How can I either stop pipes being implicilty created, or how do I detect if a pipe was implicitly created.
I have tried a couple of things, like using v$db_pipes to check if a pipe exists before doing send/reveive calls but this is FAR to slow to do a select on that view.
We have also looked at keeping a record of pipes created by the client then have some process (perhaps the server) clean up these pipes after some time frame. This is a workable solution but is not favourable since it adds extra overhead having to check these pipes often, and created an extra level of complexity which is not required..
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Feel free to email me with any suggestions on my email provided below, or just post a reply to this formum..
Many thanks,

Problem with DVD Player

I inherited this computer and have spent the last couple of months upgrading it. Put a gig of ram in and added a PCI card to help with a multi screen setup but now I have hit my first major head ache. I bought a Pioneer DVR - 104 off of ebay and installed it no problem. The only issue is once I went to test out my dvd feature I found I had no DVD player. I tried updating the system but it would not install it. So I finally was able to get 3.1 off of this site and it won't start up. It just blinks on the dock once and dissapears. I checked the specs and this machine came with the superdrive but my father opted out of it, why I don't know, so there should be no issues with the hardware, can anyone help me on this?
867 mhz G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1.25 GB RAM, 60 GB HD, 3 Monitor Display

Hi-
I'm sorry the extras is in OS 10.4- my mistake. In OS 10.3, I believe the DVD player is in the main package. I couldn't find it to install seperately. So.......
Let me recap-
1- The DVR reads install discs
2- DVD's won't play because DVD player does not run
3- DVD-R discs show no response
So-
1- The DVR is reading
2- The version of DVD player may not be compatible
3- There is no burn support
To check burn support, in System Profiler, check if under Burn Support "Yes" is showing.
My current thinking is, that since there was no DVR in the origional configuration, you may need to reinstall (Archive and install) the OS 10.3 to get the proper DVD player installed. this should also configure burn support.
The other way to get burn support is to use the patchburn that I gave you the link to.
BUT, I think you should do things one at a time. My advice is to first get the DVR to read, play and burn in that order. There is obviously a problem with DVD player, so, unless some else can advise differently, I would try the Archive and Install of the OS 10.3.
It may also be good to run the OS 10.3.9 Combined Update:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html
trying the combined update now wouldn't hurt. If it does not remedy the situation, try the Archive and Install, then update.

Interlace problems with moving objects using iDVD

I had an MP4 file (created by a 3rd party) from a Hi-8 analog tape which has some interlace artifacts on moving images (left image of boy) but not too bad. When the MP4 files was imported into iMovie 11 the interlace artifacts smoothed somewhat - that was OK (right image of boy). The camera was still and the boy was moving. Vertical lines on stationary objects are OK in all images. These are screen captures from the Mac of the mp4 played through quicktime and the same file imported into iMovie 11 and played. I paused both to take the screen capture.
The completed project in iMovie 11 looked OK when previewed prior to rendering. These are 20 year old videos so my expections were being met.   I rendered the project with iDVD to the hard drive first and then to a DVD with the same poor imaging result on the moving object. I am using a new Macbook Pro I bought in early January which came with iMovie 11 and iDVD Ver 7.1.2 (1158). Running Mac OS X 10.7.3 Macbook Pro 2.3 Ghz Corei7   8GB 1333 Mhz DDR3.
I couldn't screen capture from the MAC DVD player screen to illustrate the poor result (got a checkerboard screen) so I took a photo of the screen and imported that (below). The moving boy on the left is from an iMovie 11 screen capture, the image on the right is the moving boy from the rendered DVD I paused on the Mac (and took a pic of).
Below a close up of the poorly rendered moving boy viewed on the resultant DVD. This translates into a horrible rendition of any quick moving object. It happens with any moving image - i.e. a pan across a room with straight vertical lines like edges of a wall will show as serrated and poorly rendered edge. I used a trial version of the Daniusoft DVD creator with the same result! I am at a loss on how to resolve this issue. Any thoughts out there??
I had previously used Pinnacle Studios on my old XP PC which worked great on other tape's Mpeg files and created great DVD's (never had an interlace problem) ... until my computer died ..... so I figured Apple and associated software should be at least equal if not a superior product.   Now I'm not too sure!

Will dvd created in idvd 4 transfer to idvd6????

I am currently using iphoto/imovie/idvd 4/ thinking of going to ilife 6 (also I am on 10.3.9 - thinking of tiger)....what benefits will I see or will I just encounter a bunch of problems...like those posted.
Currrently everything is working fine but wanted to get some extra features from iphoto/imovie/idvd. I don't want to lose my pictures or movies or need to recreate everything.
Will my dvds created and still working on in idvd 4 transfer to idvd 6????
Please advice.
thanks,

I would NOT trust any previous project to open
right in iDVD 6. My only iDVD 5 project was a
disaster when opened in iDVD 6. I was finished with
it so it didn't matter. That said, all three of these
apps are worth the money over 4. But install Tiger
first and get to 10.4.4 before installing iLife '06.
I would do an Archive & Install of Tiger and download
and run the 10.4.4 Combo updater (not Software
Update). There's something good about that process.
It's big at 120MB:

Are you saying all my finished projects I made in idvd 4 will not open in 6???

16:9 DVD created in iDVD plays cropped on Panasonic DVD player

I created a DVD from a 16:9 QuickTime movie using iDVD 7. Everything works fine when I play the video on a computer (Mac or PC), but when I play it on my DVD player (a recent Panasonic that plays all commercial 4:3 and 16:9 DVDs perfectly) it plays the video cropped to 4:3. In other words it completely loses the left and right edges.
I have a 16:9 LCD TV so I verified that the settings on the TV were fine and they were. I am certain that the image that the TV receives is already a 4:3 image, it isn't cropped by the TV.
I tried to change the settings on the DVD player manually to see if it was a problem with the player (although I doubted that to start with as I had no problems with commercial DVDs ever). It didn't matter if the DVD player was manually set to 4:3, 16:9 or Auto, all I could get was differently resized versions of the 4:3 cropped video. It appears that for the DVD player, the extra information outside the 4:3 box doesn't exist, it will only play the 4:3 part of the 16:9 video.
Does anybody know why this happens and how to fix it?
Thanks, this is driving me nuts as I've already rendered and rebuilt and re-rendered this project twice and I need to get this DVD to my friend before he moves.
Andrew.

I think I figured it out.
Download myDVDedit from http://www.mydvdedit.com/index.php?pg=downloads
From iDVD save the VIDEO_TS folder (or copy it from your disc/disk image) to your computer.
Open the VIDEO_TS folder in myDVDedit
Use myDVDedit and change all of the VTS files to use an 16:9 auto Letterbox aspect ratio in the IFO section
Save VIDEO_TS from myDVDedit
Load up Toast and burn a new DVD from your VIDEO_TS folder.
I'll test this at home and let you know if it worked on my DVD player.
Cheers, Andrew.

CS4 Design Premium Installation Problem with DVDs

Hey,
I just bought the student Edition of the CS4 Desgin premium package.
Have Windows XP SP3
Anyway I put in the first DVD...and it loads...and loads....and loads...like half an hour.
Nothing...cant open via explorer as well.
So I restart with Dvd in the drive. restart took a bit longer but now I can acces via explorer.
I start installation...works fine...put in Dvd2...works fine...Put in dvd3...loads...loads....loads...
just for fun I put in dvd"Content"....loads...loads....loads.
Ok so now I'm right in the middle of the installation...so cant just restart
(I did try later after aborting Installation: then I can read em like dvd1)
Now I have just installed half....with conent of dvd3-"content" missing
I tested 25 other dvds I had laying around...all starting within the sec I entered em, so dvd drive seems fine.
Cant remember how see specs at moment...but lets just say I can play "Crysis" on High smoothly
It would maybe work if I could somehow install the content of dvd3 and dvd"Content" seperatley?
(do I need dvd "content"?)
Or how about If i create images of em and then mount em...think that would work (know a good free program?)?
would appreciate some help

I strongly suspect a bad production run of Adobe DVDs - I had enormous problems (see previous thread somewhere in this forum) attempting to install my Student Version Design Premium from the DVDs which Adobe sent me. I then had absolutely no help from their telephone support. I then had similarly no help from their online support portal - and, in fact, got really mad at them about it all. I spent days trying to sort it out. This message board - and one guru in particular - was very supportive and patient.
My solution: I downloaded the trial version of the Creative Suite I had bought, installed from that (fast, easy, no problems at all) and then used the product key from the DVDs I had bought direct from Adobe. So, I had to spend three days downloading (very slow broadband here) but it did, at least, get me a working copy.
I wish Adobe would own up to sending out duff DVDs - but when I asked them (about the second question I asked in my first phone call) I was told that it was so unlikely that she (tech support woman) wanted me to try (all manner of ridiculous) other things first.

DVD created in iDVD '08 won't play

Hey guys,
I'm kind of a newbie with the whole iDVD thing (it's my first time using it). I created a movie on a DVD9 (dual layer DVD) because it was too big for a regular DVD, according to iDVD. Ok, so I insert the disk after creating the project with the revolution theme and click on burn. It took about 45 minutes (for about an hour and a half worth of movies) and spit the DVD out when the timer said less than one minute remaining and it still said Multiplexing and Burning. I tried re-inserting the disk and waiting about 30 minutes but nothing happened.
So, I tried putting it in my DVD player and it wouldn't read it. I put it in my desktop PC running XP and it said the disk was blank. I put it back in my Mac and it played fine, like a normal DVD would (opened DVD player and started playing).
I thought I might have done something wrong so I created a new project (with the same theme) and added both movies (and waited for them to encode). I then burned it on another DVD9 and had the same thing happen (spit out with less than a minute left, won't play on DVD and blank on PC).
What should I do? Should I delete iDVD and reload it from my Leopard disk? Is there a setting I'm not checking? BTW, I left the mac alone on my kitchen table to do all the burning (no surfing or any other interaction while burning). Once I even got a kernel panic (the third time I tried it).
Oh, and when I inserted the disk into my Macbook and hit Get Info, it says the disk is only 3.63GB (I can see the TS_Video and TS_Audio files). Why did it tell me it was too big for a DVD5 then?
System: Macbook 2.2GHz, OSX 10.5.2 Leopard, 4GB Memory, 56GB free space on HD.
Message was edited by: BoricuaMac

Those are some good suggestions.
I'm going to check the encoding quality on my machine. I think I'm using best quality.
I have double the 25gb free space on my drive, so that shouldn't be an issue.
I didn't use iMovie. I edited the videos in Sony Vegas 8.0a Professional on my PC to encode my m2t files to MPEG-2 and transfered the MPEG-2 files to my mac's desktop and imported from there (drag and drop into the main page of the theme). The files play fine in Quicktime before importing them and the DVD plays fine on my mac after burning it.
I did choose to burn at highest speed, tho. I'll change that.
I'm using Memorex DVD+R DL (they've always worked flawlessly on my PC). I also have Memorex DVD-R DVD5s, but the program said it was too big for a DVD5 (the project is 4.8 GB on disk yet the DVD only had 3.6 GB of data on it).
I'll try the disk image and then burn using Toast or Nero on my PC and see if that works.

HP Pavilion DVD-3013eo recovery problem with dvd`s Win 7 x64

Hi, i have a problem with my dv7-3013eo pavilion, recovery dvd just wont work, they are original but here's the problem:
in recovery pavilion says something like this on start recovery program is not compatible of this version of windows, but it proceed, then it Boot's then the installation stars and then uiadump32exe crashes, and pavilion says start recovery again? that shall i do?
My windows version is WIndows 7 x64 Home, and computer is broken. dvd are fine and this is first time i have to use them.

Hi:
I don't have an answer for you, but I have a workaround if you can't get the recovery disks to work.
You will only have the option of installing the English, French or Spanish version of W7 Home Premium 64 bit.
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to DVD's for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.
http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-from-digital-river/
Now, instead of burning these to a DVD, use the Windows 7 USB flash drive installation tool available at the link below and follow the instructions on the page to install.
You will need a 4 GB flash drive or larger.

HD problems with DVD-R

Hi all,
I'm working on a project, and before i get too far, i'd like to know if i'll have any problems burning HD footage to a regular DVD-R media. It appears to me that iDVD downconverts the footage. I've tested both DV and HDV on two DVD-R's on my DVD player at home, but this project will be played on a different player.
Are there any problems with burning HD footage to a DVD-R?
Also, if there are possible problems, please state them and any solutions.
Thanks for your help!!!

that's very helpful.
So, the image quality will be affected through
resizing for different monitors.
WIll standard def and High def content playback on
most DVD players if it's on DVD-R media? I have
succesfully gotten the content to play on my DVD and
standard def tv, but will it play the same on other
standard TVs and DVD players?
According to Apple, iDVD down-converts to regular format (non HD format) .... so it's a bummer.
I have lots of high quality pics which I can put into iMovie HD and make them into a HD movie ....but when I export the movie to iDVD the pictures got down-converted to regular resolution. Quite disappointing.
I'd be happy if someone can show how to do this:
Hi quality pics > iMovie HD > HD format.img > burn to DVD-R.
I don't have lots of pics so my movie is only about 15 minutes....so should be able to squeeze that into a regular DVD, right?

UDMA problem with DVD player

Hello,
I have a problem with my new MSI DVD player(model MS-8216M) :it will not work in UDMA mode 2 as it is supposed to in any normal, acceptable configuration. When I connect it as a secondary master or slave it works at multiword2 or PIO and will not go higher. It will only work in UDMA mode 2 if I connect it through my harddrive (but drops back down to PIO after a while)or when it is a Primary slave and my HDD is a Secondary Master (but also goes back to PIO after a while).
Here's what I have already tried:
Removing the secondary IDE channel in device manager, reboot and let windows auto-detect. Bought a new IDE cable. Re-installed windows twice since i bought it (Not upgrade).Tried various Master/Slave and IDE combinations (and always changed jumpers correctly).
Could someone please shed some light on this annoying
problem? I exchanged this drive twice already so I don't think that the MSI is at fault. Is it my motherboard? Please help.
Thank you
Nyah
