Simply burning a disk. HELP!

Hello
After draggin a movie file to iDVD's window I attempt to burn a disk and receive an error message: There are no current video tracks defined in the current project.
Can anyone recommend a solution to this, please.
Thanks in advance.

Where exactly did you drag it?
Perhaps the first thing to try is to launch iDVD and try Preview. Does it work/

    In elements 11, how do I manage to burn a disk?

    When I complete a folder of photos, I like to burn them to disk. I have found that Picasa (Free from Google), let's me burn a disk with a slide show included.

  • Help! Toast 6 Titanium FAILS to "burn" a Disk Image

    Hello everyone.
    I was using Toast 6 Titanium to "burn" backup discs for myself, first I tried duplicating or "copying" the Mac OS X Tiger DVD Installer, and it was a success.
    Then I tried to "burn" a Disk Image of Suitcase X to a CD (The Disk Image was created using an earlier version of Toast, and quite possibly in OS 9 environment, 'cause I have that image stored in my Ext. HD for quite sometime...), but I keep getting fail error message after I hit the 'Rec' button:
    The drive reported an error:
    Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR
    Sense Code = 0x73, 0x03
    (OK button)
    So what does this means?? If I can "dub" a DVD, so could this be because the disk image was created with an older version of Toast or something??
    I haven't tried directly "dubbing" a CD... so doesn't know if that is working or not?? Or it's the type/brand of CD-R I am using??
    Thanks and cheers

    You would think that crating a disk image in one operating system would be recognised in another, this isn't necessarly so.
    Use the same one redo it using the same computer and I'll bet it works..
    The error code is because OS9 is a completely different operating system.

  • Multiplexer Error on a 8GB disk burn or Disk image, iDVD

    Burning 4.5GB DVDs burns fine.
    While trying to burn a 8GB DVD or creating a disk image on iDVD I receive a "Multiplexer Error".
    Another time, it burned and with about 3 minutes left the disk popped out of the computer although on the computer it appeared to still be burning.  When I put this disk in a DVD player the chapter titles are mixed up with the actual video that plays and the same video is played over various chapters.
    I tried changing the burning speed to 2X and tried using an external DVD burner.
    Would appreciate any ideas!
    Thanks

    Sorry that I can not make a shorter answer !
    Hi
    Multiplexing error is a very complex problem due to many things (long long list following) - one common but not obvious reason is that material on the iDVD menu goes outside the TV-Safe area (or just touching it).
    So first - turn on TV-Safe area and move any object well inside of this.
    Wide screen stretched - usually (as I think) it is due to making a 4x3 movie in a 16x9 wide-screen project OR the other way around. This forces one to on flat-screen TV (or other) set the presenting view right - My has 4x3, wide-screen, zoom and auto-wide-screen and I have to switch this by my remote for some DVD I've made "wrong" way.
    Now my long long list on Multiplex Error
    LONG LONG LONG LIST

    PART One.
    Use of strange video/audio material e.g. .avi, .wmv, .mp3 etc.
    I only use.
    Video - StreamingDV (miniDV tape via FireWire) and
    Audio - .aiff (as on audio-CDs) (else converted to this .aiff 48KHz)
    Photo - .jpg (.bmp known problematic)
    Chapters !
    A.    Using strange letters in video project name e.g. +,/; etc. keep to a-z and 0-9 strange letters in project name e.g. +
    as described by Donnyboy69.  Does the title of your project have any symbols or decimal points in it. If so, that is why you are getting the error. I had a project that had a + sign which caused the same problem. I renamed it without the symbol and low and behold, it worked.
    B.    Location of Chapters
    Can’t be at start or end of movie (Skip first/start one - iDVD sets this by it self. At the End - no need)
    Not in a transition (or within 2-3 seconds from it)
    Important when from iMovie HD6 or previous - Now also observed when using FCE 4

    Do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
    I always makes a DiskImage first and test this so that it runs OK
    I use only - Verbatim DVDs

    I burn at an as slow speed possibly e.g. x1

    Chuck, Chicago 2/7/2009.
    Back again. Here is what I have found to work. I also have and use a LaCie DVD-R/RW DL external drive and a LaCie external hard drive as well. Since yesterday I have tried a few ways to burn a themed iDVD project having four 56 minute movies on it, amounting to 226 minutes onto a DVD DL disc, capacity 240 minutes. Apple tech support really didn't know what to do but gave me a very good tip. I had two options left. Apple tech support's tip was to try disc image. One of the replies on a thread with this subject said not to, but my experience today is good. Put your project onto "Burn to disc image," under "iDVD, file." Yesterday encoding took me 23 1/2 hours. Overnight for iDVD disc image, encoding took 21 1/2 hours (again) while I slept. This morning I tried to copy/burn disc image to a DVD with Roxio Toast 7, and it stopped near the end of the burn with some kind of "error" message. So then I tried Utilities> Disc Utility> Burn icon, and followed it through. Be sure to click the DVD DL drive in the window "Burn disc in.". I had one other problem though. At the end of a 46 minute copy, it started to verify, and at the end of verify it rejected the burn. So I tried again, and when "verify" appeared, I clicked on "Skip." The disc finished burning and is doing fine and well. A long and tortuous process, but at last something works. I made several additional copies using Disc Utility. Best wishes. Chuck, Chicago.
    2. Disconnect any other external devices not absolutely needed.
    e.g. external USB/USB2 hard disks, other FW hard disks etc.

    FROM Bev. (Not a 'guy' but I will answer!)
    First, I do not think that mixing wide-screen and standard makes a difference in iDVD.
    Second, you should use a better brand of DVD disk. Also, many of us have experienced fewer problems on playback with DVD-R disks. Recommended brands here are Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden. Memorex and TDK are not consistent and may not give you a correct burn. They apparently have fewer layers in the composition of the disk. I have always used Verbatim DVD-R disks and have not had any burn problems.
    Also, choose a slower burn speed, 4x or less.
    Third, to determine if the iDVD project will burn properly, create a disk image file (from within iDVD, go File->Save as Disk Image) and test it. Mount the disk image and then open DVD Player (in Applications) and view your project. If it plays correctly, you can then burn the actual DVD disk from the disk image file using Disk Utility.

    I did everything I've seen suggested, but a friend (who used to be an Apple Genius) suggested that I do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
    It worked, and I got a clean burn from iDVD.
    Hopefully this can help other people.

    Well, I finally got it, and it was odd enough to post here incase anyone looks this topic up again. Many things were tried, including burning the unedited film, the edited film without titles and chapter markers, abbreviating the chapter markers in case length was the issue (remember the old iMovie used to truncate them when moving to iDVD?). In the process, I noticed that one, and only one, chapter marker was on the same line as the title marker. All the others were on the line above. The only way I seemed able to change that was to clip a few seconds of film. After that last clip, the offending marker took a place on the line above, as were all the others. That run published, compiled completely and burned. That's one for the books.

    To add my experience with Multiplex Errors using iDVD (7.0.4), I recently created two iDVD projects
    Video from both passed from FCE 4.01 with chapters
    One project worked fine in creating disk image file
    The other gave Multiplex Errors
    I tried suggestions to remove special characters and no chapter marks at beginning, but nothing worked
    Note that I've used iDVD for dozens of projects and this is first time I've run into Multiplex Errors
    Anyway, for problem project, I tried an experiment where I removed all chapters in FCE and passed to new iDVD project
    This time multiplex errors gone
    So had something to do with chapters
    So now I tried numerous experiments to remove individual chapters and try again creating disk image with new iDVD project
    After numerous tries, I was able to narrow problem down to 1 "Bad" chapter mark
    That is, when I left the "bad" chapter in my FCE project and passed to iDVD, iDVD gave multiplex error
    When I removed "bad" chapter mark (and others in), no multiplex error
    As a final experiment, I moved "bad" chapter mark about 5-10 sec's beyond original point and passed to iDVD, the multiplex errors now magically went away and I was able to finally create my disk image.
    I have no idea why this worked, but thought I'd mention here in case someone else runs into similar problem.

    In addition to Bengt's fine advice, burning errors can occur if you have located any of your menu buttons wholly or partly outside of the safe TV viewing area. Go to your main project menu, then click on View/Show TV Safe Area, to check. Drag into the safe viewing area any buttons that are outside the safe viewing area.
    Russ One - suggest this
    Multiplex Error-There was an error during muxing preparation
    One thing that worked for me was to export the video w/o chapter markers as a self contained movie (thereby not loosing the edits & etc). Then make a new FCE project and import that movie into a new sequence and add the chapter markers. I've used "-", "&" and "," with no problem in the chapter names. Removing the markers or exporting without them did solve the problem but renaming them with just numbers 1,2,3....5, did not solve the problem and since this problem seems to happen with with iMovie as well, it would suggest the problem is in the video or audio and in combination with the chapter markers iDVD just can't handle it. The only other possibility is that both iMovie and FCE share the same or similar chapter marker code that some how is corrupting the markers.
    Summary - What to try
    1. Chapters
    Only A to Z and 0 to 9 in chapter title
    No Chapter mark at very beginning of movie
    No Chapter mark in or within 2 seconds from any transition in movie
    2. TV-safe area for buttons (no one outside this)
    3. Safe re-boot
    4. No other external devices connected - that are not needed
    SDMacuser adds to this
    On #4 ... No ext. devices. Some think this applies mainly to ext. FW. Not the case. Also applies to ext. USB2 as well (not to mention flash drives too).
    Do not leave 3rd party devices / camera / camcorder plugged in unless it is being used with iDvd's One Step process. Certain web cams can trigger this also (especially ones with added features like LED light/s that draw additional power from the FW or USB bus).
    5. Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-up hard disk
    6. Make a DiskImage first - reduces where problem originates
    7. Trash iDVD pref. file
    8. Make a new iDVD project
    9. Movies in project with same aspect ratio e.g. 4x3 or 16x9
    10. No other programs/applications running during iDVD process. e.g. Internet, screen & energy savers

    I've made literally hundreds of DVD's using iDVD and I occasionally get the dreaded "Multiplex Error". In the past changing the position of chapter markers has worked, but sometimes the only way I can get the DVD to burn is to remove all the chapter markers (not a great solution).
    Recently, I've discovered a bug in iDVD that creates the "Muliplex Error" message and it may be the cause of some of my previous problems. Sometimes when you export a movie to iDVD with chapters, it will create chapter menus with incredibly long playing times. My most recent "Multiplex Error" project had two chapter menus. I have a 38 second audio clip that I use for my DVD menus and the first menu showed the correct time of 38 seconds (select View>Show Inspector). The second menu with the same audio clip showed 13 minutes and 42 seconds! When I went to the Project Info window (select Project>Project Info) it now showed the total size of my DVD as 4.8 GB, too big for iDVD to encode. So, I manually adjusted the time of the second menu to 38 seconds. This time without changing anything else, iDVD  burned the disk perfectly.
    The interesting thing is that when I began the burn, the project info showed under 4GB for my disk. So, from now on I'll check the playing times of each menu before I burn.

  • I can't burn a dvd using any method, Idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when i click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac

    I can't burn a dvd using any method, idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when I click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac, or how do I do whatever I need to do to get it working: I have already tried using a lens cleaning cd and also restored my nvram or something i forget what it was called but i restarted my computer holding down  command+optoion+p+r and still nothing???
    Free solutions are the best, although if I have to pay I will, I would prefer to not have to buy an external burner if possible and already know that is an option so please don't give me that answer... thank you for any help you can give

    Unless your iMac is still covered by AppleCare, get an external DVD burner.
    You can get perfectly good ones from Amazon for less than $40.

  • CD burning with disk utility - format and size for 800 MB - 90 minutes CD

    Hi Support,
    I'm trying to burn a CD with 800 MB (90 minutes) using disk utility. When I create a new empty image I can select the size. Unfortunately there is no option for a 90 minutes CD. When I create the image with 800 MB and I try to burn it, disk utility tells me that the image is too big. So my first question is what is the maximum size for such a CD?
    Next question, which format should I use? When creating a new empty image, I have the options "Beschreibbares Image" and "Mitwachsendes Image" (I have a Germann OS). But I dont't have the option to create a "CD/DVD Master", which is availabe, when I create an image from a folder. What I have to do, is to convert the image afterwards to a "CD/DVD Master". This is very circumstantial.
    So my questions are:
    1. Is there an easier way o create an empty disk image for a CD/DVD?
    2. Is the format "CD/DVD Master" required to burn a CD. It is also possible to burn images with other formats. What is the advantage/disadvantage of this format?
    3. Which format is required to use the CD in a Windows computer or a standalone CD/DVD player? The volume format must probably "MS-DOS Filesystem" in this case?
    4. Is it possible to burn multi session CD's in this case?
    5. Is there a comprehensive documentation somewhere available for this burning issue on Mac? The help of disk utility is really not enough.
    Thanks for answers and hints Thomas

    Hi thmayr!
    Although the original instructions were for a 700 MB disc, perhaps the article linked to below, could be helpful.
    From "Macworld" Feb 2005 issue p.90 Link To Article. Scroll to the second tip on the page: "Unix Tip of the Month: Utilize Extra Space on CD-Rs".
    Content:
    Create a new folder in the Finder.
    Drag everything you want to burn, up to 700 MB, into the folder.
    Open Terminal and type cd ~/Desktop
    Press the Enter key. This changes Terminal's active directory to your user's Desktop folder.
    Type hdiutil makehybrid -o myburn.iso (There's a space after the o in iso, and myburn can be any name you choose) DON'T press Enter
    Switch to the "Finder"
    Drag & drop the folder you created onto the Terminal window. Terminal should fill in the full path to the folder.
    Press Enter. Enter key will then execute the command.
    What you have done is used the hdiutil Unix command to create a hybrid disk image named myburn.iso (you can choose whatever name you like, in place of myburn, but use iso for the extension.
    You should see the message "Creating hybrid image" in your Terminal window, as well as an indication of the task's progress.
    When finished, you should see a disk image called myburn.iso on your Desktop.
    You can use Disk Utility to burn this image, or you can type
    hdiutil burn ~/Desktop/myburn.iso in Terminal
    Insert a blank CD-R when prompted, and then just wait until it's done.

  • Suddenly iDVD won't burn a disk

    I use iDVD a lot. I'm a pro photographer and I love it for showing off work to clients.
    I have a disk that I definitely, absolutely ned to get out of the door today and for the first time ever I hav problems with it. The burn gets all the way to the end (about an hour or so) and I get an error that the burn has failed with errors. (It's -34506 - it's supposed to point to an Applescript error).
    The disk is a slideshow from iPhoto + a folder of slideshows just created in iDVD. All of them preview correctly. I can burn other disks and if I drop the iPhoto slideshow then I can burn the disk (but I really need the iPhoto slideshow!).
    So far I have tried:
    switching to save image rather than a real burn
    reducing quality (to best perfomance - this burns but the quality is terrible - I need best quality)
    trashing the preference file
    rebuilding the slideshow in iPhoto including reimporting all the pics
    changing the theme
    I have run software update a couple of times to bring everything up to date. iDVD is version 5.01.
    Project duration is just over 28 minutes. Size is 0.8 GB. 5 tracks, 2 menus, 44 seconds of motion menus.
    Plenty of free disk space (93 GB on boot drive, 500 GB on all drives - really).
    HELP!!!!!!!

    Thanks Len.
    Sorry - should have posted back that I worked round this a couple of hours ago.
    I narrowed it down to one of 130 jpegs (or more than one - I just know there was something freaky in there). They were all edited files that originated on a D2X and were edited in Photoshop CS2 and all of them opened successfully in a bunch of applications.
    Anyway I wrote a PS action that reduced the size of each a little and resaved it. This should make sure that every byte of the file was rewritten. Reimport to iPhoto and rebuild the slideshow. Export to iDVD and burn - and it worked!
    Did a search on 34506 and it really looks to me that there is some kind of lurking bug deep in iLife - when an app finds a file it doesn't like it chokes the whole system. What's weird is that the crash isn't in an app that's processing the file directly. I rendered the jpegs into an avi with Fotomajico. This worked fine and the avi played beautifully but iDVD crashed when trying to burn it.
    I guess one day there will be an iDVD update and this error will majically go away.....

  • IDVD is giving an error during multiplexing or it will force close while burning. Please help!

    I've been using iDVD to burn videos for awhile now. This time around it is either force closing while burning or near the end it gives a error while multiplexing and will not continue. Is there something I can do to fix this? Or another program I can use to burn the videos to DVD.

    Read Bengt Wärleby's post in this topic for possible causes: Multiplexing Error: Apple Support Communities.
    Also follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    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, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is 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.

  • Burning a disk of high resolution images

    I am new to Lightroom, so am asking what is likely a really basic question.
    Up to now, once I finish processing images, I simply post them online. Now, I would like to burn a disk of several high resolution images (by this I mean 300 dpi J-Pegs, unless someone thinks otherwise)
    How do I do this?
    Thanks!
    SF Ellen

    You'll be wanting to use the Export window (File menu or Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+E). When it opens you will need to configure it for burning to DVD/CD as shown in Step 1 of screen shot (Burn Full-Sized JPEGs). Ignore the file-out menu. I've shown a quality value of 90%,but anything from about 60% up is OK (below 60% is best avoided).
    In Step 2 I changed the resolution from the default 240ppi to 300ppi.

  • Burn from .dvdproj help needed!

    I have a movie on idvd which creates a .dvdproj file and it comes up with an error message - encoding issue when i try and burn the dvd. I have read other people having the same problem here and that saving as a disk image is the key but I have the same encoding issue when trying to do this even! . It seems to go all the way through rendering the movie and then at the end it says there was a problem encoding the movie. I'm completely stuck and desperately need the dvd this evening.
    Can anyone help?

    Have you edited the movie since adding it to the iDVD project?  If so that encounters a known bug with iDVD and you will be best served creating a new project and adding the movie again.
    How did you add the movie to the iDVD project in the first place?  If from iMovie it should be via the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option (if that version of iMovie has that option) and not the Share  ➙ iDVD option.
    If you have the movie as a file then try creating a new project and start over from scratch.  Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    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.

  • I give up!!!  iDVD will not burn a disk

    I will try to give as much information as I can.  I have been struggling with iDVD for a couple weeks.  It will not burn a disk that has a complete menu.  Let me explain.  I've been  testing it to see if it would burn a disk at various stages of development.  It will burn a disk if I just import the video to iDVD with no menu.  It will burn a disk with partial menu and chapters.  But it will not burn a disk if I have an entire menu, with all the chapter markers, drop zones filled and music. 
    Help, please.
    Thank you!!

    Hi
    Yes - info - but not really the one I would need. There are so much that can go wrong and in different layers (steps of progress)
    A. First - What You feed iDVD - QuickTime-player can open and play so many more VIDEO-CODECs than iDVD ever can use (it is very picky)
    B. There is the notorious - iDVD BUG - that set's of by going back to Video-Editing program (iMovie, FinalCut or whatever) - then returning to the iDVD project. iDVD will notice but non of the alternatives works - I create a brand new iDVD project - only safe way for me - AND THEN NO RETURN AT ALL !
    C. What other material is used - for menus as Music, Photos and small Video sequences
    D. What Theme was used
    BTW - Creating a DVD without a Menu - You must be the only one I've ever heard that was able to do this - It is an often discussed topic here.
    E. And if Your project now runs OK in iDVD - SAVE AS A DISKIMAGE (File menu down to bottom topic)
    F. Does this .img file run OK (Simulated DVD)
    G. Burn it with Disk Util tool.
    H. On What BRAND and Type of DVD ? I only use Verbatim DVD-R (SL-Single Layer)
    You see - that it is this kind of info that helps me to make, may be good Guessing's.

  • Burning To Disk Encoding Error

    I keep getting encoding error message when burning to disk despite the fact that under Project Info all coding appears as "done". I created slideshow in Fotomagico. It has video in it but clips are .avi format. Anyone using Fotomagico to make DVD projects that can help?

    hi,
    i have a similar error on a MacMini 2010 Model with MacOSX 10.6.4.
    I got a mediafile from a satellite-receiver. the format is in MPEG-TS. So i demuxed it with projectX, combined m2v, mp2 and ac2 with mplex together to an mpg-file with two audio-streams. After buying mpeg2-license for Quicktime7 at least quicktime is able to play the video. now i am also able to drop the file to iDVD and iDVD creates the dropzones out of if.
    But when trying to burn the DVD, iDVD asks if it should overwrite the dvd+rw. Then it creates the menu. but when recoding the video it crashes with the error, while recoding the video?
    where have i to search for the error?
    why get the video recoded at all? it is in mpeg2 and dvd is also mpeg2?
    how does iDVD get out 4,9GB of a video, which is have 2.9GB, when set to best qualitiy under project-information?
    any ideas?

  • Burn a disk failed - internal error

    why do i get a "burn a disk failed - internal error" when attempting to burn a disk?  I have burned 11 consecutive disks w/o a problem.  number 12 wouldn't burn!

    I received the same error message then I noticed that one of the tunes in the playlist that I was trying to burn was listed as being 4 minutes long but was in fact playing for only one minute - there had been an error in its downloading. I removed that tune from the playlist and I was immediately able to burn the playlist. Hope this helps you.

  • Links to external files do nothing after being burned to disk

    I built a product catalog a while ago in CS4 and now I've had to edit it in InDesign CS5. With InDesign CS4, everything worked fine. The files were linked and then all the file were burned to disk, all the files worked on the disk (links, etc). I have since edited the files in InDesign CS5. I build the catalog, created all the links (interior within the same pdf, links to external pdfs and other file types). Everything works on the computer  but somehow fails after being burned to disk.
    My sequence  was like this:
    Set up product catalog last year with links and files, everything was fine and worked as expected.
    Opened the file, made my edits.
    Made links between the pdf's pages and from the pdf to external pdfs and videos etc. All of these links work in the pdf.
    Burn the files to a disk
    Some of the old links work
    All the links within the main pdf work
    None of the new links to external files work. I click the link and nothing happens. The paths are exactly the same as the previous version
    I have tried:
    Examining the links, everything is based on pseudo relative paths (last year it worked fine)
    Burning the disk on a Mac and a Windows XP
    Please help. Any and all help is very much apprecitated.

    I figured it out.
    I created the links in InDesign by making an interactive link to a file. When I open the file in Acrobat, the links work fine over the network. I burn to disk and the links no longer work.
    Problem: At some point, InDesign changes the "open file" hyperlink command in InDesign into a URL webpage request in Acrobat.
    Solution: So basically, I now have to go into the file in Acrobat and change all the buttons from "open web link" to "open file." It's only a product catalog with about 1,200 links that's due today.
