Seq Header Duplication error when trying to burn dvd

I am using DVD Studio Pro 4
Mac OS 10.49
I imported a 36 minute QT video edited in FCP to DVDSP. When I try to burn a DVD, I get an error message that reads, " Seq Header Duplincation. I cannot figure out the problem.
Incidently, the 30 minute DVD seems to contain 7.4 GB on my hard drive, but DVDSP converts it to 3GB automatically. Does this sound customary?
Thanks,
Schoff

ocfilmmaker, I hear you. I am trying to run DVD Studio Pro on my new Mac Pro under Leopard and I am having nothing but problems. It always worked fine on my G5 iMac. First, it won't recognize my DVD burner (there have been several posts about that) and now I'm seeing the "Seq Header Duplication" error, with no further explanation. My video is already encoded. I don't know whether it is the Xeon, Leopard, or the latest build - but this thing is useless right now.

Error when trying to burn DVD

Hi
I get this error (repeatedly) when trying to burn DVD recently.
Error code 0x80020022
Burning disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed.
It's self explanatory I know, but what am I supposed to do about it? Is it a problem with my hardware?. I can't see the icon for my disc drive in Disc Utility to check it.
I've shut down and restarted, tried different DVDs, they're all DVD-R although I did try at first with a DVD +RW and hope this hasn't caused some damage.
Hope someone can help thanks.
I'm having loads of problems creating iDVDs as well. But I think I need to resolve issues one at a time....
Helen

Hi Helen - here are some general purpose iDVD tips that may address some of your unspecified troubles. In terms of communication troubles, could your hard drive be going to sleep, or screensaver kick in and interrupt the process?
General tips:
Do something small first; get some experience before you need to do a big project.
Lots of memory helps; and you'll need 10-15 gigs of space on the hard drive for scratch space.
Buy good quality disks - I've seen recommendations for Maxell, Sony, TDK and a few others based on testing. I primarily use the first two and usually don't have trouble.
Give yourself lots of time.
Turn off your screen savers and energy savers; don't let your hard drive go to sleep.
Get your computer healthy and ready for some heavy lifting. (video work could be the hardest job your computer can do) MacJanitor and Apple's DiskUtility's Repair Permissions is my routine.
Most of the time iDVD is working, it is encoding (compressing) your video to fit on the DVD. Create an image .img file (patchburn for iDVD 4 and older) and use Toast or Disk Utility to burn it to disk. Burn slow (1 or 2x) and let it cool down.
I keep my projects under 60 minutes (for highest resolution).
Try testers; you can use DVD-RW
I import into iDVD rather than export from iMovie (fewer errors).
No other apps open.
Let it encode and burn while you go to bed; it can take awhile, esp. on older Macs. Don't quit iDVD even when the DVD is burned, until you've played the DVD in a regular player (it's much easier to burn another disk and check to see if the problem was a bad disk, than to go back through all that encoding again by quitting iDVD).

"Medium Write Error" when trying to burn DVD

i have recently been receiving the message "medium write error" every time I try to burn a DVD in my mac book pro 13 inch It doesn't matter which program I use to burn, they all give me the same (or similar) message. I also tried booting into Windows and burning from there using ImgBrn it and it was
succeed
the program went from "preparing disk" to writing to "finishing", ejected the disk and made the usual error and it looks like it don't start writing as when i put the dvd back the dvd is still empty
I used to burn these disks perfectly well with no problems, before i install lion i don't know if this is lion problem or what
i also tried to attempt to reset the PRAM. by holding down CMD+Option+P+R while booting MBP and waiting until it chimes a second time to let go of those keys.i haven't changed anything so don't understand why the error occurs. I've bought a lens cleaner disk and ran that for 2-3 minutes and repaired permissions on the HD but that didn't work either. The drive works flawlessly reading DVDs and CDs with no problem no problems.
any one can help please ????

Sorry, I'm afraid I don't understand this.
It doesn't matter which program I use to burn, they all give me the same (or similar) message.
The problem is that it's not relevant if the programmes use the same burn engine (eg, iTunes and Finder). You need to test apps which do not use Apple's burn engine, eg, cdrdao, cdrecord, Burn, LiquidCD, Disco, Roxio Toast, NTI DragonBurn, etc. But, FWIW, my bet is not on a software issue.

Transcoding error when trying to burn dvd

Hi, I created a slide show in pse7 and sent it to pe7 to burn a dvd. I keep getting transcoding error. Could you please help?

Debbie,
Is this your first expereince using the workflow of Photoshop and Premiere Elements to make a slide show? If yes, I realize that Premiere Elements can be confusing at first (been there: been thru that) so I am trying to keep my instructions as straight forward as possible.
I numbered my specific questions so you can respond by number :
1-- for the
b resolution of the images
that Allen requested : if they came from a digital camera, it may be simplest to post how many megapixels in the photos that your camera takes ?
2-- aproximately
b how many photos
are in this slide show ?
3-- what is the
b duration of the slide show
as shown by the Photoshop Elements slide show editor? (the duration is found to the left of the controls for playing the Preview within the slide show editor)
4-- from the PSE slide show editor Output command, did you choose
b "Burn to Disc - DVD"
or did you choose
b "Send to Premiere Elements"?
Do you know how to do the "render your slideshow" that Allen suggested?
Across the bottom of the Premiere Elements window, you should see either a Timeline or a Sceneline.
-- Within that area, Click on the word "Timeline" that is in the upper left of that specific panel/section of the screen. This will put you in the Timeline view.
--Click (left click) on the clip that you see in the Timeline and then next hit the Enter key.
-- As the clip is being rendered, you will see a popup showing progress and a line above the clip that was red will start turning green. If rendering completes successfully, that entire line will become green.

Hi
This Q is close to - Something is wrong. What's it ?
You have to supply much more info to be able to start guessing.
• What material was used ? Video codec, Audio file format and Photo file format
• Free space on Start-Up hard disk. How much ?
• Brand of DVD used ?
• Type of DVD used ?
• Burn speed set down or not ?
• Version of iMovie, iDVD'11 v 7.1.2 (OK), QuickTime and Mac OS ( X.6.8 I read ? )
And all extra info You can supply - that set's us on track.

I keep getting a 4000 error when trying to burn discs....only been since the update....Help

Ever since the Itunes update, I keep getting an 4000 error when trying to burn my music to disc. How do I fix this?

Zachy,
It goes something like this...
Put your new drive in the enclosure. Use Disk Utility to format it, etc. I'd give it a slightly different name than the original. Let's say you have Old Disk and New Disk as your drive names. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy Old Disk to New Disk. Now you should have an exact copy, which you can test by rebooting and holding down the Option key. Choose New Disk from the list and let it boot, make sure all is well.
Shut down and physically swap the drives. Take Old Disk and put it in the enclosure. Now your system has a new disk with a lot more space and you can reformat your old disk and just use it for large files or whatever.

"Medium Write Error" when trying to burn a CD!!!!

I keep getting a Medium write error when trying to burn an audio cd using ITunes. I already tried switching out cheap CD-R's for high quality ones and the same thing happens. I also can't burn a picture CD using finder because another error message pops up so i don't know what it could be... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Could be an issue with the drive itself, especially if you have one of the Matshita drives installed in many Macbook Pro which are reported to be 'krappy' drives. See here for more info...

Enocore CS5 error when trying to burn to blue ray disc

My project consists of 4 AVCHD clips imported separately into Encore as timelines and then I deleted the timelines to keep just these assets. I built a new timeline and added these three clips to this timeline. Three of the AVCHD clips are on the timeline with a total time of about 3:30. The fourth is a 30 second clip used for the motion menu background. The file size is 22.95 GB. There are 39 chapters in the project, the top page (page 0) has three buttons linking to chapters 1, 21, and 30 (the start of each of the clips). The other pages of the menu have 6 video buttons per page linked to chapters. All of the clips when highlighted will lead to the project setting "Do Not Transcode" (which is what I want) and I am buring this to a 25GB blu ray disc. When I checked the project everything seemed okay- no error messages. I then went to build the disc and after about 20 minutes I got the following error message:
"Blu-Ray Object: "<Menu>NTSC_FISH top menu",Error:"device error",Code: "2",
Note: "Too many primary video streams in clip (Spec Table 9-3,Annex B)"
The menu name is NTSC_FISH topmenu. Any ideas what the problem is and how I can fix this?

I went to the original motion menu source and saved it as Microsoft AVI (file name: Premiere pro avi for menu.avi) instead of AVCHD hoping that might help and then brought that file into Encore and linked that as the motion video for the top menu (the other menus don't have a motion background). I tried to animate the buttons for all the menu pages. When I click on the Premiere Pro avi for menu.avi asset the options show for DVD Transcode automatic and for Blu Ray Automatic (for transcoding). The file shows as 720X576 and it is 34 seconds long. The top menu is checked to animate buttons and I can uncheck it if I want, the submenus-start at page 1- have the animate buttons grayed out but checked and I can't uncheck these even if I wanted to. When I tried to burn this to disc, it got further along- burning 13.15 gb to disc and then I got the following error message:
Blu-ray error:File already exists",Code:"6", Note:Video buffer underflows. Total bitrate is too high near time = 1321.253267 seconds-
I am running Windows 7 64 bit, 2.4 ghz processor Quad core, 6 gb of memory and 69.1 gb free on my external hard drive and 29.7 gb free on my c drive. I have an NVIDIA GE force 8500T card. Any ideas?

the simulator works perfectly, but when I am going to burn the disk I get this error when it tries to mux one of my tracks.
thanks

Hi Thomas,
Not really a helpful message and with DVDSP not neccessarily a helpful one.
A few things to try before reencoding your VTS 7 material.
Close DVDSP. Delete the PAR folders associated with the project and reopen. This forces DVDSP to reparse your mpegs.
Secondly remove the video from VTS 7, Then simply replace it. When DVDSP links files to tracks on certain occassions it drops the ball when reseting the GOPS causing errors.
Thirdly for a test (or you can do it first). Place some different material in the track.
If all this fails. Duplicate the project and try and open it from the duplicate.

What does error message when trying to burn DVD from iDVD mean "not enough disk space to burn the remaining assets"

I created a DVD in idvd and now when trying to burn to DVD using external burner, I get the error message
"not enough disk space to encode the remaining assets". I am using a brand new blank DVD.
I have read the help info on computer but hasnt proved helpful.
Any suggestions?

iDVD requires a fair amount of disk space to carry out the encoding process; depending on your project, you may need to have over 25 GB free space on your startup hard drive. How much free space do you have?
