Sooo frustrating after burning with toast dvd still skips

Cab anyone shed any light ive tried everything and my dvds are sticking on playback!!
Many thanks Tim

Hi Bengt
The camera footage is from a video booth it records in dv-pal.
The dvd was edited in imovie 11
The audio was imported with original clips 48 khz and some music from ilife sound effects
27" imac 3.2 ghz intel core 13 4GB on my macintosh HD I have 879.39 GB available
Exported to idvd via quicktime using these settings
VIDEO:-
compression DV - PAL
Quality - best
Scan mode- interlaced
Aspect ratio 4:3
Dimensions 720x576 ( 768 x 576 )
SOUND:-
Format: integer ( little endian)
sample rate 48.000khz
sample size 16 bit
When using toast 7 i dragged the same movie exported to desktop via quicktime into toast and burnt using toast menues and also I tried making a disk image in idvd and copied that into toast and burnt that too.
I tried the burns on Verbatim - R and Maxell - R
On the burnt dvds both in idvd and toast the place in which the dvd was sticking on playback changed every time it would stick for 1-2 seconds and then play on.
Hope all this is what you asked for bengt do bare in mind i an a beginner when it comes to all things Mac.
I burnt the same clips via my pc in adobe prem ele 7 and the dvd played through fine with no problems
Yours hopefully
Tim

I don't know any way you can interrogate iDVD to reveal settings to the extent that you can in a Compressor project. What you could do is open up the show's VOB in MPEG STreamclip, go to File and Reveal Stream Information; that will at least give you some rudimentary info like average bit rate. Perhaps someone, with more iDVD experience, can chime in here.
The broader question is why use Compressor at all if your current workflow is doing the job to your satisfaction?
The value of Compressor is that it gives you control over the many parameters that affect size quality. and playability. The Compressor presets can give you a starting point for DVD delivery, Web, etc. From those presets, people typically experiment by adjusting the parameters until they get the desired results for their specific show. It's a little bit science and a little bit art. After experimenting, you may be able to get slightly better quality for the project you've successfully burned in iDVD by using Compressor and something likeToast…or maybe not.
Good luck.

Slow burn with MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-845E

Burning of 3.54 GB took over 12 minutes with MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-845E. Finder allows me to burn with 8X but still the actual speed is far from it. This is extremely disappointing. New firmware is needed or similar.

I have a power book 17 inch and cannot burn either, i get all kinds of window messages, too many to mention. one of the messages i do get sais i have not got the space on my start up disk ( there 2 gig left) but my file of 3.6 gig is on another partition.(with many gigs to spare) what doas my start up disk have to do with this i wonder. if i buy a third party burner its not going to ramble on about my start up disk is it?
Help me please how do i burn a DVD
My drive info says CDR-RW and DVD-RW
are these the disks i have open as options, this info is from the sytstem profiler. can i not use a DVD-R, why not?????
the answer to some of your question is use a DVD- MINUS not +PLUS
As for me help someone. isnt there anyone from apple who can give us some ideas about this.

Building in DVDSP, Burning with Toast

If I build in DVDSP and burn with Toast will Toast also recognize the Opening Menus and Chapter Index Menu? or do I have to do something special? Thanks for the reply. Also just out of curiosity what does Toast do during the burn process that DVDSP doesn't?
G5 single 1.8 Mac OS X (10.4.5) 2x 160GB HDs, 250GB ext. 2.75GB RAM

If you build the project in DVDSP then all you need to do in Toast is get it to burn the folders onto a UDF disc (Universal Disk Format). There are several ways to do this in Toast, depending on the version that you have got. Whichever way you choose shouldn't mean you need to change any menus or anything else - Toast can simply create a DVD from your VIDEO_TS folder, or it can use a disk image and burn that. You can also set it to create a UDV DVD-ROM and drop the Video and audio_TS folders into the wondow... none of these methods will alter the content of the folders.
Toast gives you the opportunity to burn at slower speeds than DVDSP. This is good, since a slower burn results in a more compatible DVD-R. However, there are those who regularly burn at the speed of light and don't get any issues, so let's hope more of us can get to that standard soon! The burn speed in DVDSP is calculated for you on the basis of the media capability and the writer speed... it will choose the maximum possible from the combination available.

Imovie + garageband audio burn with toast?

Hello all,
I've been following this procedure:
1) Place all video clips in iMovie HD
2) process my voice over narrations with GarageBand (male narrator noisy)
3) Put the GarageBand enhanced audio into iMovie
4) Create the DVD with iDVD
My question is can I use Toast instead?
That is can I still burn the DVD with Toast with the audio that I processed in GarageBand?
Any help would be much appreciated!

you posted in the iMHD-section of this board.. which is vers 5 (five) of this app. answer differs on version of iMovie
answer: yes.
after inserting the GB-audio into your iM-project, save it.
quit iM.
launch Toast, select videoDVD
drag iM-project into Toast..
... done.

Video hangs after burning on a DVD

Hi,
after burning a project with menus and several chapters, I notice the DVD is hanging after a few chapters. My DVD burner itself should be ok, I got no hardware failures and it's working fine with Nero Burning ROM. Any suggestions??
Tx a lot,
Kristof

You used iTunes to burn the CD? If so, it should work. The question is, did you choose "back up to disc," or did you create a playlist, and choose "Burn playlist to disc?"
If you do it the first way, you are just saving the actual music files (not in CD format) to a CD.
If you create playlist and burn playlist to disc, you are making an actual Audio CD that will play in any CD player.
If you are already using the second method, are you using a CD-R, or CD-RW? Some players have problems w/RW's.
Btw, iTunes songs are not MP3 format, so I don't think you'll be able to find a "converter." LOL

Poor image quality after burning with idvd

I used Final Cut Express to make a 45min movie. When I preview the finished product as a Quicktime file it looks great. BUT when I burn it with idvd, the quality of the video is terrible! Jagged diagonal lines, some color loss, some dancing pixels,...
I have been trying to find the solution to this problem for days on end, I have burned about 20 dvd's now, all in different settings and so on, but the quality is not improved.
First I thought it was my tv, but then I put the dvd in my mac and compared the same scene from my quicktime file with the scene on the dvd, and the difference in quality is staggering! For instance, diagonal white road markings are crisp on the quicktime file, but jagged on the dvd.
What is idvd doing with my movie????? Help me!

My Final Cut Express movie (.mov file) is crisp, and interlaced.
You are missing the point - your CRISP FCE movie is mpg-2 compressed by iDVD - that's what DVDs are - mpg-2 compressed video content. Unfortunately, mpg-2 is a very low quality CODEC compared to modern CODECs like h.264.
The best image quality out of iDVD will result in using the 'Best Performance' mode of encoding - this requires your content be under 60 minutes for a single-layer disc.
'Best Performance' encoding uses fixed bit-rate encoding that produces a DVD with about as high playback bit-rate as can be supported by set-top DVD players.
You have three choices: (1) live with the mpg-2 compression on a DVD because you can't do anything about it, (2) use the h.264 CODEC out of FCE and create a data DVD with the file that can be played back in computers, (3) make a Blu-ray disc if you have the equipment and buy the software.

Trouble burning with OneStep DVD

I've been archiving a number of my Digital hi-8 tapes onto DVD using OneStep DVD with no problems until recently. The last few hi-8 tapes I want to archive onto DVD do not start immediately so OneStep seems to think there is no information on the tape and will not burn a DVD. I get an error message as follows: "Nothing Captured. No video has been captured. Aborting OneStep DVD creation."
I've been trying to figure out a way to "trick" OneStep DVD into not rewinding the tape on my camera all the way so it will start when the video actually begins on the tape but I can't figure out how to make it work because it keeps rewinding regardless. I have too many tapes to create actual DVD projects so OneStep is the way for me to go at this point. Does anyone know how to get around this problem?

Hi Len;
I actually tried this approach but, for some reason, I get an "out of memory" message when I take this route. It's worked fine (with other movies of the same type) when I am able to burn straight to DVD but gives me grief when I try to burn the very same movie from iMovie. Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

After burning movie onto dvd it won't play on players despite being compatible (-R and -RW) the disc is either not recognised or it only plays audio. Am I missing a stage in finalising the movie onto DVD? The movies is 30mins long.

DvD burned with project from iMovie not playing back on compatible players. Aaaargh!

Hi
There are several things that do this:
- Brand of DVD used
- Type of DVD used
- BURN SPEED
- Material used
- Free space on Start-Up Hard Disk
I use:
Verbatim, SL-DVD-R, x2 max x4 Burn Speed and never less than 25Gb free space on Macintosh HD
Material:
- Video Codec: StreamingDV, AIC or HDV
- Photo file format: .jpg - NEVER .bmp or other - all converted to this
- AUDIO file format: - .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz (as on Audio-CDs) - NO .mp3 or DIRECT FROM iTUNES ! - all converted to .aiff
Then I've near to Zero problems.
Yours Bengt W

Discs burned with toast or finder fail to be recognized in PC

All the discs I have burned recently fail to open in PC - they are recognized by the Windows XP machine as blank CDs only.
Using Toast Titanium 6.1.1, tried various settings including iso 9660
Same problem with DVD-Rs on PCs as well. Will not play in Windows media player...
Help appreciated!

I'm getting a bit confused as to what is going on and what you wish to accomplish. You want to run DW and repair files on the external drive? If that is the case, simply install DW on your internal and run it from there on the external.
Depending on the DW version, several of them have not been a bootable option or, if they actually were, not really usable as there was no easy way to reboot from your internal after having used DW.
Another way to use it is to install it and then make a fully bootable clone on an external drive/partition; you can then boot from that and run DW on the internal (or any other drive you may have).

OneKey Recovery broke after reinstall with retail DVD

So I know this has been an issue (After reading tons of posts after the fact...) but couldnt find a straight clear resolution for my situation or I missed it somehow.
Anyway got a G530/3000 4446-23U.
Came with Vista Home Basic and the OKR button thing.
I booted off a DVD of vista and saw it had 3 partitions. 0, 1, 2.
I saw 0 & 2 was some factory type stuff and 1 was windows. So I erased 1 and created new one and had vista ultimate install.
Well of course this broke OKR button.
I didnt know this would happen, I figured it was like the dells and what not, so long as I didnt erase the other partitions I was safe... HA teach me...
Anyway I have tried to get this to boot back up to OKR and no joy. It boots to vista if I press the key. I have read that I guess the MBR got messed up and it also modified some files on that drive?
Anyway I tried setting 0 (the OKR partition) to 12 as it was 7 for the partition type and also set it to boot but no joy. Same results. 12 just seems to hide it from windows.
Anyway I found on that other partition it has two WIM files. One is drive c and one is drive s (OKR drive).
I mounted those and tried to copy of the bootmgr and other boot files from the image because the vista install modified it and still no joy.
So it seems they provide us with the original files but no simple way to restore them. The next thing is why even with original files wont it boot right? is something other than boot, and type 12 wrong with the partition?
Also one other wrench to toss in this mess is I have flashed the bios. it came with 1.05 I think, I put 1.15 on from lenovo site as it said it fixed a problem with sleep, so i figured flash it to save myself trouble later. Well that bios had a bug or was not for our exact laptop even though it said 530... I have now found some 1.07 bios that seems to not have the bug, but I guess its also possible it changed something too? It is for a MT 4446. but again it seems to run best.
Anyway any help on the OKR would be great.
I have not erased or toucheed the two factory partitions, just windows one was erased and re-made. Their is also those two image files I can take files out of if I need to restore anything, just cant seem to get her to boot to it.

okr doesn't work due to you made changes on volumes.
you need to order recovery discs from lenovo or ship it to back to reset the hdd its default. then okr will work.

No 1x burning with Sony DVD RW DW-Q28A

My 2.7 GHz/Dual Power Mac G5 comes with the Sony DVD RW DW-Q28A. I am unable to burn a DVD at 1x. Why would I want to burn at 1x you ask? At lot of DVD Players will only recognize 1x and 2x burned disks. We have the ridiculous situation of having to create DVD's with the Dual G5 and then transferring our creation to an 800 MHz iMac in order to burn at 1x so that people don't return the DVD's. My daughter recently had her PowerBook fixed by Apple. I noticed that part of the fix was installing a Matshita DVD-R UJ-825. That drive is also able to burn at 1x speed. Is it that this Sony model is "speed challanged" or is it just a problem with my drive?
I don't even know if buying 1x and 2x media is a solution with this particular drive. I have also read that there might be a firmware upgrade available for it. Unfortunately, from the directions I read, I would need to remove the drive and use an external USB connection with Virtual PC or install it on a PC and flash there. Are there no other solutions?

There is no official Apple firmware update for your
drive - using non-Apple firmware will void your
drive's warranty.
Regarding your trying to burn 1x: Try another brand
of DVDs and make sure that their speed rating
includes 1x
The same brand I used to burn on the laptop at 1x was used on the G5. It just seems that the Sony drive is "too stupid" (okay tha'ts not a technical term - lol) to listen to Toast when I request a 1x burn. On the Powebook with the non-Sony drive when I tell the software to burn the disk at 1x, it does, taking over 40 minutes. The blank DVD's I'm using are Verbatim 16x that are rated "up to 16x".
Just to make it even more clear, I have no problems burning 16x discs using the Sony drive. They are readable when used on my computer and on very modern DVD players that have DVD drive transports originally designed for PCs. They just won't play, for instance, on my Sony DVP-S500D which is a much older machine. When I burn at 1x on the iMac or Powerbook it plays fine on the S500D.
At the end of the day, if the drive won't burn at 1x what's the difference if Apple voids the warranty on a drive that can't be used for the purpose for which it was intended -- namely the creation of DVD's that will play to a wide range of DVD players.

Save an unencoded iDVD disc image to encode/burn with Toast?

Hi:
I'm geting jittery image on playback (only in certain scenes) when I use iDVD to encode my disc. If I use Toast to encode and burn, there's no problem, using the same blanks and burner. I saw a post here from someone who said you can save a disc image from iDVD, but then have Toast encode it and burn it; in the help files it always says iDVD encodes its disc images. Any ideas, or any other suggestions as to the jittery playback on a few scenes?

It could be the DVD media you're using or player, etc. If you create a disk image and use DVD Player software to view it, that should be pretty much what to expect on DVD-R playing in a good quality DVD player.

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Disk Utility to burn the DVD.
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (not the .img, the one below) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. Your SuperDrive tray will open. Insert a recordable DVD. (DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and Tiger.
b Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD 5 project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)
