Using I DVD when I start burning the dvd the title goes right across the front of the dvd.

When burning a dvd in I DVD the title of the dvd suddenly appears right across the front of the dvd, obscuring the picture and not fitting etc.

What version of iDVD and what theme are you using? Is the problem happening after you burn the disc and play it back?
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.

DVD drive does not burn the DVD but prompts the mysterious 0x8002006D error

I read the earlier threads about the mysterious 0x8002006D error.
Then went to look at the console and the DiskRecording log reads:
Finder: Burn sense: 3/73/03 Medium Error, Power calibration area error
Finder: Burn error: 0x8002006D The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.
Can anyone tell what this could mean? Is the drive old and tired? I have the latest possible update for this Powerbook G4 1,25 GHz that I can use. What is meant by the latest firmware - where can I check which is the latest firmware for this particular DVD/CD superdrive ...
I am not trying to use the impossible, the G4 only supports DVD-R and with the speed up to 2x, so it is getting difficult to find suitable DVDs for this. The better MacBook is being serviced, as it has a screen problem, only after 1 year of use!
Please, can anyone help me, my works do not make any progres and I am in trouble!
I would be grateful for

Actually, I found out that for this particular PowerBook model there is no further firmware upgrade for the SuperDrive, only for the models starting from 1.5 GHz. Obviously all I can do is downgrade my OS to the version, which I suspect was the one that still supported my SuperDrive to see, whether it is the Drive that has died or whether it is the conflict with the upgrades and the hardware.

I created in iMovie, and extracted audio from one of the clips to use in the title sequence. All is well, export to iDVD and it plays OK, but when I burn the DVD the audio for the titles does not play. Any suggestions?

I am on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.7 running iMovie '11 and iDVD 7.1.1. Thanks for any input.

Problems while burning the DVD

I have worked a little with Encore 1.5.1. This is my first attempt with the upgrade to 2.0. I love the features but have run into a number of problems when I actually attempt to build the DVD. On three occasions the burn has encountered errors during the build/write process. Messages like "Preparing project for Build failed" and "Stream type invalid" have occurred. Once the build seemed to work but the resulting DVD does not play on either a DVD player or on my PC.
I have no build errors (by the way, I like the Check Project functionality) and I can preview the project with out a problem.
A potentially related issue... Encore runs very very slow on my system. I have a P4 with 1 Gig memory. The old version of Encore ran fine. Premiere has good performance.
Any suggestions on how to fix the burn problem?

Andrew,
As Ruud states, PP does not recognize DL DVDs, while Encore does. However, with 1.5 hours of Video, you should not need DL. With good transcoding specs., it will easily fit on a DVD-5 (single-layer).
I'll bet that you are looking at the size of your Exported file (what format is it - DV-AVI?) and figuring that THAT will not fit on a 4.7GB DVD-5. What you have to allow for is that either PP, or Encore will "transcode" the file to MPG-2 for the DVD, and it will compress that file. If you have already Exported to MPG-2, you need to look at your Export settings, as they are likely too high. They may also be too high, for any DVD player to actually play the DVD.
A very nice feature of Encore is that if you feed it a nice DV-AVI file from PP, it will automatically choose the correct settings to fit the file onto a DVD-5 (provided that you have set DVD-5 in your Disc tab). If you wish to do all of the math yourself, and not rely on Encore to do it for you, then you'll need to study up on "bit budgeting." This forum would be a great place to start, with a "search." However, you will likely need to spend a great deal of time learning this, plus you'll need a few "tools," most of which are freeware, though not 100% intuitive.
The next stop should be Jeff Bellune's "Focal Easy Guide to Encore2." Even if you have CS3, which includes Encore3, Jeff covers bit budgeting and that part will be the same. Some buttons and switches will likely have changed between the two versions, but the principles will be the same.
Still, most of us rely on Encore's automatic transcode settings, until we have a really involved project with specific Assets.
Considering the age of the original thread, and how far down it is on the forum, I'd suggest that you start a new thread. First, I'd set it up a bit differently, than the one that you tagged onto this thread. State what your Assets are, which programs you are using and which programs you have at your disposal, or plan on acquiring to complete your Project. Next, a bit of info on your system, might help others, should they have to "trouble shoot" your Project. It would look a bit like this:
Five hours of DV tape, Captured into Premiere Pro X and edited to a 1.5 hour Project with stereo Audio from the original tape.
Exported from PP to DV-AVI (file size) as elemental streams DV-AVI Video and PCM WAV Audio.
Imported to EncoreX as a Timeline. Imported 3 Menus from Library(details).
Desired medium for Export = DVD-5 to be played on both computers and stand-alone set-top players.
System: Intel Core2 Duo 2.6GHz, OS=XP-Pro SP2, nVidia 8800 GTX, 4x 250GB SATA II HDDs, Adobe PP2, Encore2, etc.
This way, we'll know what you have, what you want, what gear you're using to get there, and what you've done so far.
Good luck,
Hunt

I have created a movie in 16:9 format. I have created an iDVD pane in 16:9 but when I preview the movie that pane changes to 4:3 and burns the DVD as a 4:3 movie. How can I stop that, please I am in Snow Leopard, using FCE4.0.1?

I am using Snow Leopard and have created a movie in 16:9 format (SD not HDV) I created a movie which stays in the 16:9 format in fcp file, .mov fiule and MP4 file. I created an iDVD pane in 16:9 but when I play the movie in the iDVD preview window the iDVD pane switches to 4:3 and it burns the DVD in 4:3. How can I stop this so I get a16:9 DVD. Thanks for any help offered

Hi
As I see this I see two parts
• Howto go from FinalCut to iDVD
• Howto set iDVD right
In FinalCut Express (to 4) or Pro (to 6 - most probably 7 too)
• One has to set Anamorphic in the Browser window - menu columns
• Export as QuickTime movie .mov - NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION
In iDVD there are TWO places to set - WideScreen
- Start a NEW iDVD project - AND HERE SELECT WideScreen 16:9
- in Project - select Projectinfo
- now set WideScreen 16:9 - Here too
This use to work for me.
FOR FinalCut Pro-X - I have not a Clue - as I don't use it. SORRY
BTW - There is a good practice to before BURNING the DVD do
• Save as a DiskImage
• Test this by using DVD-Player tool
And if it is OK Size and All - then burn it by using
• Disk Util tool
• here set down burn speed to x4 or less (less burn errors = plays on more devices and better)
• Not using Memorex or NoName etc cheap media - as they usually DO NOT WORK as Video-DVDs
• I use Verbatim DVD-R as they play on more and even older DVD-players

Pretty basic this, but I'm a total beginner. Can anyone tell me (in simple steps!) how I burn a movie I bought in iMovies onto a DVD? After I stick the DVD in, what happens then? Sorry about the unsophisticated question. Thanks.

HD footage looks jagged after compressing to burn the DVD

I finished the project in HD, I used compressor default settings for 90min hi quality to created 2mv files for DVD burning in SD. After burning the DVD I see a lot of jagged age effect especially where are lines, (eye brows, paper documents, etc). I used to shoot in SD, dvcam, and it was perfect.
Is there a solution...?
Thanks.

Thank you very much!!! I tried 30 sec, and what a difference. The faces are sharper, the jagged edges are smaller. I had the jagged edges even on the face before. I still have some left maybe about 20%. I wonder if anti aliasing (what should be setting value?) or details would help, but I am afraid that it would take 100 hours to process 15 minutes of footage. I might be wrong, because it did show me 100 hours before.
Thanks again.

HT1583 When burning a DVD of photos and music from iDVD, the photos blur right before the transitions and the music has about 5 second glitches here and there before the music starts again. Is there any way to burn the DVD without this happening?

Each year I am in charge of making a slideshow of photos and music for my annual company meeting. I always use iDVD to set up my photos and music and then burn the DVD to play at the meeting. Every time I burn the DVD, it blurs right before the transition of the photo. It has always done this and I'm not sure why. It will also make the music glitch in a few spots for about 5 seconds or more. If I burn another DVD to try it again, the glitches will still be there, but in different spots. I've tried the highest quality of DVD's possible and this still happens. What can I do to fix this problem?

Try disabling transitions altogether!
There is a technical reason that this breakup happens - it is to do with how slideshows can be saved within the DVD specification, they can either be recorded as 'video streams' or as a collection of 'still images'.
When you add transitions iDVD has no option but to use a video stream, this can result in terrible 'breakup' because the mpeg 2 encoder isn't designed to handle scenes that are static with a sudden short change. You can see 'artefacts' in the video stream…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_artifact
'Still image slideshows' avoid the issue altogether by only showing a static image, no video compression is used & because the scene doesn't transition so it shouldn't breakup.
NOTE: Music on the slideshow is irrelevant, both types can use a soundtrack.
I cannot remember if it is possible to force iDVD to only make still image slideshows, I always use DVD Studio Pro to correctly setup DVD's. I'd suggest you use the option to save the DVD to a disk image & then open that disk image so that DVD Player can preview it, that should save on the number of test disks you burn.
If you cannot make it avoid using video streams you may be ether off making your own video slideshow in iMovie & then import that into iDVD. It may eventually look better despite being a video stream!
iDVD isn't really condusive to professional levels of control.

I get an error when trying to burn a DVD. I have version 7.1.2. "Error rendering/encoding titles...". Never did burn the DVD. Any ideas?

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.
Yours wanting to be of help. Bengt W

Hi
Try in iDVD
• Save as a DiskImage
• Play this by use of DVD-player tool
Still OK or problems ?
If OK - Burn it by use of
• Apple Disk Util tool - or -
• Roxio Toast™ (if You got this - I love it)

I'm using DVD Studio pro to burn a dvd but it won't let me cause I keep getting a "Formatting Failed" error message. It says "Formatting was not successful. Layer 0 exceeds max layer size allowed. Choose a suitable marker location." What does this mean?

It means your file is too large to fit on a single layer disk.
Recompress to keep the overall size (audio,video and menus) below 4.5GB

HP dv6263cl DVD Rom unable to burn any dvd

dear hp/support team mates:
i have purchased HP 6000 series notebook in Oct -07 and i m satisfied with its performance. intially i didn't have any data to burn on the dvd rom. but with passage of time i have data which requires backup on dvd rom. now the problem i m facing is i m unable to write/burn any data on blank dvd's which are available in open market.
i have changed different brands of dvd rw and used multi softwares to burn the dvd. everytime i get the error its dvd fault which is unable to have write on it. now i m not technical person but if proper guidence is transfered then i m able to diagnose the issue.
the error i get is .. The disc in the drive is not writable disc or it is full. Please insert a writable disc in drive.
now waiting for the response from your end.

Can you play a movie dvd? In other words is the dvd drive otherwise operational? If you have never reloaded the operating system after 2.5 years that would be the place to start. After all that time it is very possible the registry or other part of software is corrupted. You also say you have installed multiple disk burning software installations. That can pose a problem. I would ask you to recover it to factory state or better yet install a new clean copy of Windows 7 so we can properly isolate potential hardware issues from software issues.
We are not official HP people by the way just users who volunteer to help.
I am assuming you have Vista but if that is wrong let us know.

How to burn DVD and can i burn the same DVD later if its having any space..

How to burn DVD and can i burn the same DVD later if its having any space..?

This is called sessions, but it is not recommended and has been largely abandoned by software developers. This was a good thing in the late 1990’s, when opticals discs were quite expensive, and file size quite low.
applications which reportedly may do this are
- isoBurn: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/40109/isoburn
- others, I do not remember which ones, try SimpyBurns, Burn, Dragon Burn and LiquidCD, you will find all in macupdate.com, test which ones suit you.
Otherwise, I do not recommend you such time consuming and inefficient solutions, optical drives are being replaces by more capacitive, cheaper and more practical solutions, like external disks. But, if you insist, you will find what you are looking for.
