Problems with the CD burner

I have an iMac G5 with OSX 10.4.6 and I'm trying to burn a blank CD, the problem is that after I insert the CD and the Mac asks about opening Finder or any other application, I select OK and then I get an error message that reads something like:
"This operation can't be completeed since you don't have the enough privileges on some items."
What does this means? I already tried with several blank CDs and the same problem happens (not with any other CD, only blank ones).

First of all, in System Preferences/CD-DVD controls panel, choose what do you want to do with an inserted empty CD or DVD.
Most people choose to using open Toast titanium (or the cd burning software) that they use.
On the other hand, it seems that you should better repair privileges on your system.
Open Disk Utility (located in Applications/Utilities), choose your HD, and click the button "Repair Permissions".
After operation is completed (it depends on the size of your HD) try burning again.

Problems with the DVD burning software

I had ulead dvd installed on my pc but then had a crash so had to reinstall, when i tried this all i keep getting is error code 6002. I've followed the instructions that came with the error code but this made no difference. Today i tried to install Pinnacle Studio Plus and i keep getting the same error message. Ive stopped other programs, emptied the temp folder and still no joy. Help please.

Hi
Please check the Ulead or Pinnacle support site. Maybe you can find a proper answer. If there is no solution try to use System restore tool. It will help you to set the system to previous configuration. You can also remove both of applications manually and check if the Nero works again.
It is possible that after removing Ulead or Pinnacle in the registry stays a lot of entries that can be removed manually but if you are not a user with a lot of experience let it go.
I have also P20 almost two years and use Nero burning software without problems.
I am not if this site is a right one for you but you can check it http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q110646 . It is very interesting.
Good luck!

Has anyone else experienced problems with the disc burner/driver software not being found?

I am trying to burn music onto a disc and it is telling me that the disc burner/driver software has not been found. Has anyone else experienced this with their MacBook Pro?

SuperDrives wear out - it seems that yours might be on the verge of a mechanical failure. I'd just replace it, buying a new drive from Other World Computing and installing it yourself (because Apple would charge a small fortune).

I suspect you are attempting to burn an HD DVD, which will not play on a DVD player...
But if you provide more details such as the settings you are applying in Compressor, then we would be able to provide you more accurate information.
How are you adding the files to Compressor?
In FCP, what are your footage properties (command-9) and sequence settings (command-0)

Problems with the interlaced Fields after burning with iDVD

The original quicktimes have interlaced frames and once I burn them with iDVD seams that there is a problem with the fields, like they are in ht ewrong order or something.

I Have a similar problem my apple health app hasn't worked from day one - I use my fitness pal and no matter what I do it just doesn't communicat or pass information to apples app - ive even tried a different steps app and that doesn't communicat either. Even running on ISO 8.2 hasn't rectified connectivity issues.
I Wonder if apple is aware of these issues lol

HT2955 The problem with the above is this: If a chapter end is reached at the same time as the CD space is filled, iTunes goes to EOJ, ejects that CD and pretends it's done. Other than entering start:end manually you are screwed. iTUnes just ***** for bur

If you use iTunes to burn Audible CDs you better hope the book is only one CD long. Otherwise iTunes craps-out without warning and cannot be easily restarted. It just goes to EOJ and pretends it's all done with the entire burn. Often this can cause (will cause) the user to waste many many CDs trying to get a burn completed. If a CD-end is reached at a chapter-end point, iTunes assumes the burn is done and ends. The user must manually enter start:stop for each CD, pay constant attention to what's going on, and hope everything goes right. And even if you do all that you WILL find a chaper point at CD end and will have to go manually adjust the start-stop of the next CD and HOPE... that's their strategy: Hope. iTunes was never designed for books, for audio content that is multi-volume, and it really ***** at it. And if you are unlucky enough to want to burn long books (Truman -48 CDs, or Atlas Shrugged - even more), be prepared to throw away many tens of CDs as you try to get it done; pretty soon it's just cheaper to go buy the book in audio form and dump Audible entirely. (Maybe this is why Amazon made the switch from working Roxio to non-working iTunes... nahhh.. you'd have to be too cynical to believe that...) If, that is, you don't just give up in frustration and terminate your Audible subscirption as I did a couple of years ago. Audible keeps your paid-for library, but downloading a long book again just brings you to the same point: trying to burn multi-volume CDs on a tool not designed to do so. Maybe amazon bought lots of Apple stock at the same time and just wants you to be walled-in to your iPod and never again use a CD.. maybe they bought the car companies, too, so you can't have an old car and must buy a new one with an ipod attachment in order to listen to your books..... The worst part is that Audible used to use Roxio, which handled all of this with no problem at all. When it was tasked with a multiple-CD burn, it told you how many you'd need, began recording, when it reach end-of-CD, it told you to put in the next one - regardless of whether there was a coincident end of chapter, and kept burning until the book was completed. For unknown - and seriously stupid - reasons, audible decided to use iTunes, and the problem continues. My research across the web indicates I am not the only FORMER customer of Audible that feels this way, or who cancelled their subscription because of this stupefyingly dumb decision - to make the primary customer interface tool WORSE that it had been.

AC, Thank you for you reply.
Even though it is supposed to be a 'simple' home video system it has so much potential!
And i mean i know there is an solution since i know the Caribbean cruises are using apple as media centers onboard their ships. have to admit that i do not know if they are using frontrow or some other application created buy some other company.. i just know that some one must know how to get around it all and make it work..
Just wish i had someone to get in contact with that is working hands on every day with this product, and get strait, good, final answers.. no "pro support" since im not happy with their answers anymore..
I know i start to sound desperate.. but thats because i am..

Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver

I rummaged around in here looking at opengl topics and others associated with the above error, but I'm not seeing what I'm encountering (or I am and I don't recognize it!).....
I bought CS4 a week or so ago, and installed it on a system running XP32 with service pack 3, 4GB of ram withe the /3GB switch set, nVidia 8600 GT card (which according to the list is supported), and multiple spindles for images, scratch, applications, and so on. I found other topics earlier so I downloaded the most recent drivers for my video card.
I'm not crashing and burning, but I'm getting some messages...
I opened an image, and while working on it I wanted to do a transform/warp. I got the message that Photoshop couldn't perform the operation because there wasn't enough memory. It didn't crash but I had to shut down CS4 and restart it to do the warp.
Most recently I opened a couple images for a panorama, and while doing the merge I got the message that "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled gpu enhancements." It tells me to check for the latest drivers - I've ALREADY got the lastest drivers. Again, no crash, just the warning. It completed the panorama.
There have been a couple other occurrences of messages of this type, so I'm curious if there's some set of preferences or system settting I need to adjust to optimize things? I've alrady adjusted the nVidia settings because I also run Lightroom and they're having problems too.
I've read the tech notes for the video and such and didn't find any set of optimizations there so is there a set of adjustments beyond the preferences that needs to be adjusted to improve memory and video performance? And if so, can someone point me to them.

As I understand it (suspect at best) XP32 can address 4 gig of memory. the /3gb switch lets the applications get at 3 gig of that. If my video card takes the first 256MB, and XP is guaranteed the other 750 of the 1st gig, and in the CS4 performance preferences I should be giving it from 1462 - 1895 MB (I've given it around 1890), that leaves me with another gig or so... Is that limited to applications or can XP use it? In any case, I'm not crashing, I just get the message every so often about being out of memory. I don't recall ever seeing this with CS3, but new version, new oddities...

Premiere Pro CS4 - Problem with the monitor program.

Hi. I'm not able solving problems with the monitor using PremiereProCS4. When I drag a photo (also only one photo) in the timeline and play it in the monitor program, vision in the monitor program doesn't run:black monitor or a little part of the photo appear... sometimes distort colours. Asus P5QPRO, Intel 9550 and Sparkle Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+ 1024 DDR3; last gpu driver and directX are installed. Different configuration of stratch disks were tested. Where am I wrong?

Dear Bill,
thanks for your answer and your article. I tried with your NTSC 4:3 720x480 PAR 0.9 and, "magically", no more problem!!! I used the script pocedure in Photoshop CS4 to resize my images. Now, before starting my workflow and hoping not to overuse your patience, I would like to indicate you my equipment and my target: I use a Canon Eos 7D (generally for still images, 90% are vertical, and just some videos) and I use Premiere Pro CS4 to burn a dvd (normal, 4.7 Gb or double side, more than 8 Gb) with a 16.9 lcd tv (I'm Italian); my camera save as .jpg and .raw (but why use heavy .raw files if I've to redute to 720x480?!??).
So, according to your "everyone wants the highest quality that they can obtain when doing theri videos..." and "your video project may vary, so you will need to plug in the dimensions for YOUR video project in that case", I've a question: which is the best for me?
And then:
1 - Premiere Pro CS4 havn't a batch or a script procedure for still image like PS (only for videos)!?!
2 - Premiere does'nt allow you to import images like 4.181 Kb (a too large dimension file error appears)!
3 - In the timeline of Premiere, after you dragged images, you can select them and right click to perform "resize to frame size": it seems to run good without problem, but what appen to the photo? Which is it's pixel?
4 - In the general preferences of Premiere you can to optimize rendering for "memory" or not: which is the best for you?
5 - I attached file with a screen of something strange in Premiere: dragging an image (the first of the project) in the timeline, the timeline appears distort (you can see the part in the yellow square): then, when I render the project and play in the monitor program, it becames normal.
Thanks!

I have a problem with vertical images burned on a cd

I have a problem with vertical images burned on a cd either from a Mac or a stand alone burner. What happens is the images come from the card and are put on the cd. Also note the the camera has been set for the computer to automatically show images vertically when shot that way. The images look good on my Mac, but are horizontal on windows computers. Both XP and Vista. What can be done?

Problem with iDVD - cannot burn DVD.

Problem with iDVD - cannot burn DVD.
Self has a MacBook Pro, which al new software.
My problem is, when my burn a slideshow, prop process ever before burning.
Box show: Multiflexing and burning: write Lead-in, then the process stops and ejects the disc.
I have burn a Movie test – no problems.
Self use Verbatim DVD-R
Who can help - what should I do?

How did you create the slideshow and get it in iDVD?
As a general comment try following this workflow to separate the encoding and burning processes:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo?

Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo? It use to work but it no longer lets you place a title over the opening photo.

Is your signature still current?(iPhoto '08, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)) I can confirm this for iPhoto '11; Shatter will only show the text slide title between the slides. Ken Burns and Classic theme can still be set to overlay the caption and title directly over the slides.

Im having problem with the dvd quality, I'm using compressor to convert the video fils from apple prores to mpeg2 .It doesn't matter how long my video is even if its just 5 minutes I'm getting cut edges in the video , does anyone have any idea ?

Im having a problem with the dvd quality, I'm using compressor to convert the video fils from apple prores to mpeg2 .It doesn't matter how long my video is even if its just 5 minutes I'm getting cut edges/lines in the video specialy if i have titles it comes up really bad , I took the same video to a friend of mine who have PC and he uses Encore , did the encoding there and it was just fine no problems! BTW I tried using doferent setings in compressor from CBR and VBR I even pushed up the setings to 8 or 9 BR and still no luck !
does anyone have any idea ?
Thanks in advence ...

Let's focus attention on just the Sony. (What model and what resolution are you shooting?)
For now, I'll assume you're shooting 1080i.
Take a representaive clip into a new sequence. Add a title.
In your sequence, make sure field dominance is set to Upper.
Set render settings to Pro Res 422.
After rendering, export QT self contained.
Import into Compressor (I'm now referring to v3.5).
Select the 90 minute Best quality DVD preset.
Open frame controls and turn on (click the gear icon). Set Resize filter to Best.
Submit burn and check quality on TV.
Good luck.

I just order 8 calendars from iPhoto and they came to me fine. Now I need to order two more but when I go thru the process I get a message saying:unable to assemble calendar. There is a probleme with the photo with the file name"(Null)" more........ .

Would someone be able to explain to me the following issue with Iphoto?
I ordered 8 same calendars for my soccer team and received them fine. Although a couple of pictures on it are a little off (out of focus). I need to order two more of the same calendars but when I go thru the process ireceive an error message saying:
"Unable to to assemble calendar" There is a problem with the photo with the file name "(Null)" The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your calendar.
How can I fine this "corrupt" photo? How did it go thru with the first batch of calendars but won't go thru now?
Thank you for your help.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
