Stuck on finishing when burning a video made in lightroom to dvd

Help, I have an IMAC 27 inch, model 12,2  3.4 ghz intel core i7, 32 GB Ram, OS 10.8.5.  I am running CS6 and lightroom 5. I made a slide show in Light room, 10.28 minutes long. I exported it as a 1080 video to hard drive. this made a 1.16 GB MPEG-4 movie. This plays perfectly on the imac.  Placed a Sony DVD+RW 120 min/4.7 GB DVD in the drive. Then moved the file into it and clicked burn. It seems to work fine until it gets to the "State: Finishing..."  Where it stays stuck???  ANy ideas on how to deal with this?

Further to this, I have just sat and watched the whole final DVD on my TV and it would seem to be that the sound issues may be something to so with the transitions added in iMovie. Some of the sounds have even slipped in time! I get the sound from the next clip coming in early and then a blank patch of sound where it should be. All of this is always just before an iMovie transition.

  • Encoding error when burning mp4 videos to dvd-rw using idvd

    hi all, i'm trying to burn mp4 videos on a blank dvd. i used the magicdvd option in idvd 08 but the error message of "encoding error" had appeared before it burned the videos to the dvd. could you please let me know if mp4 is not supported by idvd? i heard i must convert mp4 to mpeg-2 in order to watch it with regular dvd player, can i do that with mpeg streamclip? is mpeg-2 supported by idvd? thanks!

    Hello Alarkin,
    is there a free alternative to toast?
    Yes, it's Disk Utility - just follow this procedure:
    1. create the disk image in iDVD
    2. double-click the resulting .img file to "mount" it. Next launch DVD Player to view your DVD .... if everything is fine, close DVD Player and eject the virtual disk.
    3. Open Disk Utility and drag the disk image into the left hand pane, then hit burn.
    Note: Set the burn speed to 2x or even 1x. Most burn errors are the result of high burn speeds. Also use only high quality DVD-R media (e.g. Verbatim)
    hope this helps

  • Not allowing burning of videos or TV segments to DVD or VCD.

    I think it is wrong not to be able to burn a disc from a downloaded TV show. I paid $1.99 and should be able to burn my Dragnet episode to VCD or DVD and watch it at work or on my TV set. I'm glad I only downloaded one segment.
    I will not pay Apple another cent for music or anything else until this is allowed.

  • Burn multiple video files to one single DVD

    I am converting a ton of old home videos to digital format, and I want to store them on DVDs.  I'm using Elgato Video Capture to connect my VCR to my Mac which works fine for creating mp4s.  I can then "right-click" on the mp4 file name in Finder and one of the options is "Burn [filename] to Disc".  This is fine.  But my problem is that many of these videos are fairly short clips and I don't want to use one single DVD for each one. 
    Does anyone know any way that I can burn multiple mp4 files onto one single DVD?  Whenever I go to burn one of them to Disc, it seems to want a blank disc each time. 
    I suspect there is software out there that I could purchase, but I was hoping not to spend much money on this project.  Any way of doing this in the standard Mac software?  Or maybe a not too expensive DVD burner software I could buy which would allow this?
    Thanks!

  • Sound problems when burning a film made in iMovie in iDVD

    PLEASE HELP!!!
    I have upgraded to iLife 09 and for all the bad that people have to say, I actually like it a lot. Anyway, it gave me the encouragement I needed to play with some old home movies I had stored with the aim of producing DVDs to give to my friends, and hopefully showing off the slick production values I have come up with.
    So after spending a week getting to grips with iMovie and editing an old holiday film with all the cuts, transitions, chapter markers and music etc that I wanted, I ended up with an hour long movie that I was happy with.
    Then to iDVD. After trying out all sorts of ways to go from iMovie to iDVD to ensure the best quality, I have finally given up trying to replicate the on screen quality of the movie in iMovie with the finished DVD, and just opted for the easy to use 'share to iDVD' option. The quality is not great, but then the footage is old anyway so not too much of an issue.
    Then I spend another few days playing with and learning iDVD and again end up with a finished product that I am happy with, with nice looking menu's and a slideshow etc.
    So I come to burn the final DVD, for which I pick the 'Professional burn' option which takes 4 hours but I am happy to wait if it means the best quality possible, and my DVD is done.
    I then play the DVD to discover my problem - the sound in the movie is not right. To explain further, in my movie I have reduced the sound of some of the film clips to nothing and placed music over the top. When played and previewed in iMovie it works fine - the music plays and the sound that is attached the the video does not. When previewed in iDVD it works fine - just as I had edited it in iMovie. But then when I burn the DVD, some of these sounds are present again which completely wastes all my hard work at the editing stage.
    I have searched and searched for help on this but am unable to find any.
    Sorry for the very long description and story behind my issue, but it is massively frustrating. Basically, at some point during the 'burn to DVD' stage in iDVD it decides to completely ignore most of the sound edits I have made on the movie in iMovie.
    If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Further to this, I have just sat and watched the whole final DVD on my TV and it would seem to be that the sound issues may be something to so with the transitions added in iMovie.

  • Encoding media gets stuck at 17% when burning DVD disc

    Hi,
    I am currently trying to burn a dvd on adobe premiere elements 11. The movie is 9.3GB and I am burning onto a 4.7GB disc (Tried a 8.5GB dual layer the other day and same problem occurs).
    I clicked burn yesterday at 2pm and the first 4 stages of encoding were completed within about 90 minutes, then it moved onto encoding media. At 4pm, the blue bar stopped at 17% and has remained there since yesterday. Is this normal?
    Should I just leave this to run over the next few days?
    I successfully burnt 3 copies of a 1.8GB short film last week so know it works, just taking forever...
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Sorry, I think that I must have lost track of your prior post with the information that was on its way. Glad you posted your follow up message.
    If you do not have an external hard drive to which to point the Scratch Disks, then please use the following scheme for now...
    Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks
    a. Point them all to the same place. Remember, the project's Save In location is set in the new project dialog, not in Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks like the other project assets listed there. In the Scratch Disc location, I prefer to browse to and set for a special path rather than leave "Same As Project".
    Here I left "Same As Project" for all, but made sure of where the project was being saved by checking the new project dialog Save In field. The arrow in the screenshot points to where you will see how much free hard drive space is
    at the location to which the Scratch Disk is directed. How much do you have listed for all? Here I have all directed to an external hard drive that has the drive letter E and has 922.4 GB free hard drive space.
    Your settings of the project and Scratch Disks should hold from project to project, but no guarantees, so best to check to see what have within a project and from project to project, especially when you are using Save As Project instead of a specific path.
    Suggestion, if Local Disc C, browse to
    Libraries
    Documents
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    11.0
    the set should look something like C:\User...\Adobe\Premiere Elements\11.0
    you should not be seeing "Auto-Save"....Adobe Premiere Elements AutoSave Folder is in the 11.0 Folder. In this scenario you want the all the Scratch Disk pointed to the 11.0 Folder not the AutoSave folder within this 11.0 folder. Think about that one including what you are setting in the Premiere Elements 11 preferences and the location being designated in Documents. Also, check out what is going on in the Encoding Folder in that line up of Folders in the 11.0 Folder in the Documents area.
    Reminder...about Media Cache Folder....the Media Cache Folder in Documents (Adobe Folder/Premiere Elements/11.0) has the conformed audio files.
    For Edit Menu/Preferences/Media, just hit the Clean button there to clear out the conformed video files. Note that the path to what you are deleting is shown in Edit Menu/Preferences/Media
    C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common
    In the Common Folder there is this other Media Cache folder with the conformed video files (.mcdb).
    For video properties, you can always get a readout from a program like MediaInfo
    http://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo
    but for now you can right click the file in Project Assets and let us know the frame size and other properties information for what is in this project.
    Lots of details but the focus here is
    In view of the low memory messages...
    a. assure that computer resources are not being eaten up by pile ups of Scratch Files
    b. assure that your project's format's computer resource demands are not exceeding your computer
    resources.
    Please review. If necessary, I will fine tune what I have written.
    Thanks.

    A few quick things to check -
    You are burning an SD Dvd and not an HD Dvd right?  (You can check to be sure in the Disc window/General/DVD Standard)  An HD Dvd will not play in a regular dvd player.
    If you right click on the dvd on the desk top and select Get Info, How much space does it say is used?

  • Error When Burning ISO File via Disk Utility to DVD

    I am trying to burn an ISO file from Disk Utility onto a DVD but I keep getting an error message. "The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media." I have had success burning ISO files before, but haven't done it in a while.

  • Can I burn free video podcasts to DVD?

    I'm trying to burn free video yoga podcasts to a DVD so I can play it in my DVD player. Can I do this?
    I'm testing it out now, but it's taking hours to "Process Movies," encoding first the video and then the audio. I'm only working with about an hour's worth of video, but it's taking so long to convert the MPEG4 or whatever they are to whatever iDVD uses. I can't do yoga in my computer room, but want to use the DVD in my studio where I have lots of space.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    podcasts aren't in a form that can be used by iDVD without conversion. You might have much better luck using something like Roxio's Toast Titanium.

  • How do I burn raw video without themes?

    I just need a video to start playing without the fancy themes (very dry technical video usage so nothing fancy)....how do I do that or with vanilla theme at worst?
    I have a macbook 10.4.8
    Thanks!

    Just to add to OT's advice. There is only one way within iDvd'08 itself to make a DVD with no menu whatsoever...... that's a One Step DVD (See very last option below)
    Click Here
    This type of DVD will always play in what is called a "Koisk Mode" .... little or no user interaction after inserting the DVD into a computer or set top DVD Player.
    Adding a Menu (even a basic one as described above) adds stability to playback and is highly recommended.
    Another option is Roxio Toast (third party app) which can also burn a dvd w/o a menu in Kiosk Mode and that will play all movies in succession.
    Another approach I often use (w/o using iDvd) to burn raw video is a set top DVD Player Recorder with Digital /FW inputs which I then connection directly to a camcorder / camera (Sony Trv900) via FW/i.Link and the deck writes to DVD-R in real time with a very basic menu that looks like this:

  • How do I burn more than one file to a dvd in with compressor?

    I'm needing to burn 2 video files to a single dvd, is it possible to do so in Compressor?

    The easiest way  is to put them into a single sequence in FCP, separated by a gap and title, with a chapter marker set at that location for navigation. You could also use Quick Time Pro for this.
    But Compressor cannot do multi-track DVD;s like a full fledged authoring program – such as  DVD Studio Pro. iDVD can also do this if you can locate a boxed copy of iLife…also Toast.

    please help i started my project with  video format 720HD, resolution 12x720, rate 25p.  at last when i finish and burn to dvd the edges are cut off and my logo cut off the screeen aswell any one help please i am really in trouble. thanks

    Sorry, but I don't know anything about that app.
    I did go to their Web site and I see they have a support link. Perhaps you can get help there or in their forum.
    If you are OK with a DVD with a basic menu, you could try the Share>DVD option in FCP.
    Good luck.

  • IMac DVD Burning Freeze - How to exit when stuck in ¨finishing burning...

    I just bought this brand new iMac (dec. 18) and EVERYTIME I try to burn data on a DVD (small file of less than 30Mb!) with Finder, the writting action takes less than 30 sec, but then the process is permanently stuck in the last ¨finishing burning...¨ step. Everytime, I need to manually reset (holding the power key for 6 sec!) to end this endless process loop. The funny thing is that when the iMac reboot, the DVD is prefectly OK and all data has been burn OK.
    I have the same kind of problem in iDVD. I tried to burn a very small (6 pictures only) DVD. The burning process went as planned, but the last step just never ended. After 30 min. I need to abort the process. As with ¨burning with finder¨, the DVD was however 100% correctly burnt.
    So, it means that I can burn DVD, but I need to force a reset of the iMAC or succeed to abort the last step of burning for every DVD I burn. Strange and annoying!
    Any body saw this problem? Could it be a Media type problem (cheap DVD brand)?

    Try restarting while holding the mouse down

  • Poor quality video when burning a DVD

    Hi All,
    I have recently purchased & installed Premiere Elements 11 on my Windows 7 64bit Dell laptop. I found the tutorials very helpful and was able to successfully create my first project - importing a 46 minute AVCHD file4GB m2.ts shot on my Panasonic HC-V100 in Record Mode HG1920: 1920x1080 25f/s Audio 48kHz. When creating the project I selected: New Project>Change Settings>PAL>AVCHD>Full HD 1080i 25 andTicked ‘Force Selected Project Setting on this Project’ (I'm in the UK hence selecting PAL)
    I added titles then created a menu and scenes using a still photo 2mb jpg 3456x2304 300dpi for the menu background. So far so good - really pleased with the results on screen. Next I selected Publish>Disc > selected AVCHD Add Name>Choose 1920x1080i>Burn to Folder. I then burned the BDMV Folder to DVD using the inbuilt DVD burner in my laptop.
    This successfully produced a DVD with menus and titles which will play on my Blu-ray player. The quality of the video is excellent and I am delighted with the result however here is the first of the problems I'm hoping someone can help with: The background image on the menu is slightly blurred as are the menu/scene titles.
    Next I wanted to produce a DVD for people who don't have a Blu-ray player & therefore need to play it on a normal DVD player. This is the second problem (and one I have seen mentioned elsewhere on the community). I published the project in a similar manner to the one above but with the following differences:
    Burn to DVD Folder: Select 4.7>Type name>Browse to location. I now burn the VIDEO_TS folder to DVD, again using the the inbuilt DVD burner in my laptop however this time the result is very poor. The menu doesn't work and the quality of the video is unacceptable. Of course I understand that the result will be considerably lower quality than with the AVCHD version however this is not watchable.
    (BTW, prior to purchasing Premiere Elements 11 I had been playing the video from my camera into a Sony RDR-HXD910 hard disc recorder then burning DVDs from that device using SP mode. This produced DVDs with perfectly acceptable quality so I must admit that I was hoping for similar results from Premiere Elements.)
    I have read on the community that DVDStyler is a preferred method of burning DVDs however afer downloading it I failed to find a way of using it for simply burning my existing VIDEO_TS folder.
    This is as far as I have got and now would really appreciate some help to point me in the right direction to be able to burn my project onto ordinary DVDs. I have tried to put as much information on the post as possible but I am new to video editing so have probably missed or not described something!
    Thanks in advance

    ATR,
    Thank you for helping me out.
    To answer your questions:
    --Do you really need NTSC DVD-VIDEO standard 4:3 on DVD disc or is NTSC DVD-VIDEO widescreen 16:9 on DVD acceptable?
    I was told that product specs require 4:3 aspect ratio for DVD.  (Unfortunately footage was all shot in 16:9 before I found out about the 4:3 finished requirement.)  I want to generate the highest IQ possible in this format.
    --Is your 1920 x 1080p 30 or 25 or something else?
    All video was shot at 1920 x 1080p 60fps.  AVCHD.
    Video Source Properties as obtained from the Timeline:
    Type: MPEG Movie
    Image Size: 1920x1080
    Frame Rate: 59.94
    Source Audio Format: 48000Hz – compressed - Stero
    Project Audio Format: 48000Hz – 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
    --What exactly is set as the Premiere Elements project preset for the project that has this 1920 x 1080p footage on its Timeline?
    PROJECT SETTINGS
    Editing Mode: AVCHD 1080p square pixel
    Timebase: 59.94 fps
    Frame Size: 1920x1080
    Pixel Aspec Ratio: Square (1.0)
    Fields: None (progressive scan)
    Display Fomat: 60fps Drop-Frame Timecode
    Title Safe Area: 20% horizontal, 20% vertical
    Action Safe Area: 10% horizontal, 10% vertical
    Audio Sample Rate: 48000Hz
    Display Format: Audio Sample
    --When the project preset was set, did you use NTSC or PAL section in the new project dialog?
    I didn't make any choices.  I didn't use the new project dialog.  I imported media and started working.  When I saved, I made no choices.  Since I'm in the US and bought this from Amazon, I assumed it was NTSC, and that appears to be the case.
    --Is your program version 12?
    Yes.
    Motivated by a different thread regarding titles and 4:3, I did create a test "movie" (not DVD) at 4:3 and all the titles fit within the image area.  (I even made a point of inserting a couple of titles that ran outside the "safe" area in the PRE Titler; these also all fit on the image although they came closer to the edge.  Not crowded, but perhaps not as aesthetically pleasing as those that were created within the limits.
