Slideshow has glitch in burned disc

I am having a problem with idvd. I prepared a slideshow with music and menus. It plays beautifully within idvd. I burn a disc and at a certain point in the replay, it either shuts down or stops for a minute and then restarts. (depends on which dvd player I am using.) I can play it on the computer and it just hesitates a moment and then goes on but one player actually stops and will not complete that portion of the menu. I have tried changing the music to no avail. Also tried removing the slide that is showing when it happens. Is it possible to have a problem with the burner that would show up at the exact same spot each time? I am trying to complete a slideshow for some friends 50th anniversary and am getting very frustrated. Have wasted about six discs so far. Not sure what else to try.
Help!

OMG....it makes sense when you say that! It is happening right at the 99-100 slide. And I noticed that when I play it on the computer, the timer sets back to 0 at the glitch. I have three slideshows, two with less than 100 that work fine and the other with 153. I knew it had to be something simple. Most of the players that I play it on just pause and go on. Just the cheapie that I have in one room kicks the whole thing out.
Thank you so very very much. I will try arranging the slideshow in Lightroom and import it into idvd and hopefully that will work.

I have a photo cd from photographer that was burned on a mac but it will not open on my mac. It goes in, makes some noise, then ejects. My system pref. is set to open iPhoto when a photo cd is inserted. She has sent me 2 disc and both do the same thing

Rather than burn directly to disk follow this workflow to help assure the best quality 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.

I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do? How can I get the data off this disc? I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?

Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive. Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth) around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.

at the moment i have had a disc in for at least 20 mins and it's still 'finishing' sems a bit long for 17 songs . also the fan is on almost all of the time , maybe that has a bearing .. ? I'd appreciate some help here as it is getting increasingly frustrating . alao when i put in the discs that i have used they do not register on the desktop . so i have been wasting lots of discs doing this .
Thank you all .

I've created a slide program complete with titles and sound. Works well in the preview, but the burned disc has neither the titles or the audio. Any help?

We've constructed a slide show of our recent Hawaiian trip, including tltles on the pix and accompanying music. When played on the IDVD preview, it works perfectly, but the burned disc has no titles or sound. What are we doing wrong?

Error when burning disc image

An error occurred when I tried to burn a disc image of a DVD slideshow. The slideshow has 324 slides in it and is almost 38 minutes long at the moment. I have added sound by creating a sound track in iMovie using a combination of songs downloaded from iTunes and tracks from my own CDs then blending the two blending the two. The slideshow plays on the computer and I have burned a disc image two or three times as I was creating it.
Any advice?

I have burned a disc image two or three times as I was creating it.
Can you clarify what you did exactly? You mean you saved the project as a disk image, then went back and did further work on the project?
The audio tracks you imported from iTunes may have been copy protected and will not burn in iDVD. The workaround is to burn those tracks to an audio CD in iTunes, then re-import into iTunes from that CD. Then will transfer to iMovie and iDVD without problems.
Also, something here may help:

Burn disc doesn't highlight

I made my first project the other day and want to burn to a DVD-R. The little spin wheel icon doesn't highlight and when I go to the drop down menu the "burn disc" isn't highlighted. A friend who knows Mac's and has worked a lot with computers actually set the project up, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong either.
My project is a slideshow with some music attached. There are about 55 pictures. Since the music lasts about 13 minutes the slideshow does the same.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks

Burning discs, help! ?????

the only way i know how to burn discs is by creating a playlist in itunes and then selecting that playlist to burn and even then the disc is a music cd
im used to using nero burning rom on the pc, is there something similar to this already on macosx
basically im asking because its not always that iw ant to burn an audio cd on itunes; if i wanted to burn a data/mp3/vcd/dvd disc, how would i go about it?
thanks in advanced

http://www.roxio.com/enu/mac.html
Roxio Toast is a Mac versatile software package that let's you do disc burning of many different varieties, kind of like Nero on the PC.
One advantage of Toast is that this software supports many different types of optical drives that you may have added to or upgraded in your Mac, where as the Mac built-in software typically only supports selected drives that shipped in a Mac (only an issue for an older computer that might have shipped with a CD-ROM and a RW drive was added by the user) PatchBurn is a utility that can help add the native support to some drives, in the case of an upgrade drive that didn't originally ship in the Mac.
http://www.patchburn.de/
Built-in to the Mac OS Finder you can burn single session data discs, and you can also use Disk Utility to create a disc image and then burn to an optical disc. iTunes has a preference where you can burn mp3 discs instead of Audio format, but I think this only works when you have converted the songs into mp3 format first. There is a System Preference on what to do when you insert a blank disc, you can open Finder and drag and drop items to the disc which is a temporary "Burn Folder" which lets you build the list of files, then you click the little burn icon to start the burn when you are ready. You can create a Burn Folder and save it so you can burn multiple discs of the same stuff.
Also, the iLife applications support burning your muti-media to optical drives, i.e. select a group of pictures in iPhoto and you can burn a CD or DVD. iDVD also can create custom DVD's of your iMovie projects and iPhoto slideshows, etc.
Check out one of the "Missing Manual" books from your local library, that might help learn some of the Mac language and where to find things since you are new to Macs.
Try it out, and post back if you are able to get it working or need a more detailed walk through...

ITunes no longer burns discs

Hi, I came here in support of a new issue that has arose.
Heres the scoop: I have already created a playlist, click burn disc. It starts up fine as it has no errors when creating the disc. It then initializes, and says that it is burning the first track. However here is where the problem arises.
The status bar never moves, its just keeps saying burning the first track. The drive is spinning, sounding like it is burning regularly. So I let it sit for a while, come back, still the same exact place and the drive spinning like its burning. So I then click cancel after about 30 min. Of course it doesn't cancel, or won't eject so I force quit iTunes, and the disc stops spinning.
Then, once it quits, the disc starts spinning again and appears on the desktop, and iTunes reopens. The disc shows the right amount of tracks and the correct times, but when I go to play them, its just no sound.
I then try it again after restarting, and I get the same result. I even try changing the disc burn speeds and still the same result. Now I'm tired of wasting cds so I've come for help.
Some other details: I have recently updated to 10.5, before that I have been able to burn cds in iTunes with no such problem. Also, whenever I try burning unsuccessfully, more and more of my hard drive space gets eaten up and doesn't come back even when quitting iTunes until I restart. The drive is a dvd writer, but isn't factory installed, in the past versions of X I had to use patch burn to burn from the ilife programs, but its no longer needed in 10.5.

A friend this morning says that he thinks that iTunes has put a DRM (Digital Rights Management) code on any music that is imported into iTunes, whether it is purchased from the iTunes store, ripped off a commercial CD, or even copied from your friend's homemade CD, and that's why after some time is elapsed, you can no longer make a music CD from playlists in iTunes. He compared it to Rhapsody, which allows you to listen to your downloaded music as long as you still pay your monthly Rhapsody bill. Could this be true?!?! I can still make an MP3 disc, or backup my iTunes library to a DVD, but I can no longer make a music CD. Like others have described, iTunes starts the process, checks the playlist length, initializes the blank music CD, and then stalls, saying it is writing the first track, but will say that all day. One has to force quit iTunes to get the disc out. It shows the correct disc title and track names when inserted in a player with this capability, but all one hears is static-like noise when the disc is played.

IPhoto Slideshow images will not burn to DVD -- Green Screen

I'm trying to burn a slideshow I created in iPhoto '09 to a DVD using iDVD '09. The first few time I've done this, everything burns properly, including the DVD menu. When I select the "play" button to play the slideshow, the music that I originally entered plays correctly; however, the screen is completely green and none of the images appear.
Slideshow has 136 pictures and three songs from my iTunes library. The menu in iDVD has no music and only one pictures, using a previously loaded theme from the default options. I am burning the slideshow to 16:9 ratio, NTSC, best performance.
I have tried creating using the autoplay upon dvd insert option, which still did not work. Same green screen with slideshow music playing. I am currently trying to export the slideshow as quicktime movie then adding that to the project.
PLEASE help. Any ideas appreciated.

I did search apple's KB again but that's the only article I could find on Green Screen so I posted it to the forum for reference purposes only....
Sorry it failed to help. I'll ask around for other suggestions and if anything comes up I'll post back.
DRM is certainly a possibility as suggested above even though I've not seen it attached/related to an issue of this nature (lines yes, but rarely the entire screen).

Burning discs through external DVD burner

I've bought an external DVD burner as PE 10 did not recognise the inbuilt one in windows 8.1.
It does not recognise the new burner either.
How can I tell it where to burn the disc as the "burner location" box is not accessible.
I've tried burning to folder instead and this is fine for playing discs on a computer but they will not play back on a TV through a DVD player in spite of choosing this option when burning discs.
I hope I haven't wasted my money!

Hi
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.

You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

Mac computer won't read burned discs, need help...

Heya,
So I'm not sure when this started happening exactly, but my Mac stopped being able to read burned discs for some reason. I've tried discs that have audio (legal MP3's) and applications on them (also legal copies of the discs) and they show up in finder but as a blank disc. I'm wondering if there was an update of some sort recently that started causing this issue somehow? Can someone help? Thanks!

Related Problem?
I have had my MacPro for more than a year, just updated to OSX 10.6.4
I have not been able to play a particular,commercially bought DVD. No clue about the format of it. It comes up as Untitled. My MacPro has worked OK with other video DVDs and a bunch of install discs. I just discovered this new DVD player problem today, with this new DVD just bought through snail mail.
However, this same new commercially recorded DVD plays beautifully on my old 17" powerbook bought brand-new in 2006, today running OSX 10.4.11
It is sad so many bloat features seem to cloud real needs of working people, or what else could it be? My system has had some other livable problems like the fact i had to trash the much needed OSX Dictionary Application, because it started opening up a window for every word i already looked up-- This problem seems to be due to Migrtation Assitant picking up some weird police state aps or what not. It is hard to live without Migration Assistant because aps like CS4 are so hard to get running on a new system. So grin and bear it.

Cant burn discs and warning message

My computer wont burn discs. It recognizes and imports music and recognizes blank discs but it says disc recording not found when i try and burn it. It also has a warning message when i open itunes that says "the registry settings used by itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall Itunes." I have not tried to reinstall because i dont want to lose my music. Please help

Can you help me? I get the exact same message with my new upgrade of itunes 10. But with additional problem of not being able to uninstall/remove itunes through Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. I get the following error:
"Could not open key: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\itunes.aif\shellex\{88956b 1c6-b41f-4c 1c-a 562-0d564250836f}. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support personnel."
Then I click OK and an Add or Remove Programs box pops up with:
"Fatal error during installation." Click OK.
What would you suggest I try now since I can't remove and reinstall itunes 10? I wish I'd never upgraded now! I have not yet tried steps messing with registry as suggested if uninstall and reinstall does not solve. I'm afraid of messing it up and making matters worse but will try as last resort.
