The burned dvd stops short

I have 145 slides in an idvd project. it runs thru on
the computer but after i burn the dvd and play it in
a dvd player, it stops completely at slide 100. Help!
this is for an Eagle Court of Honor TOMORROW!
Prior to iDVD 6, slideshows were limited to 99 images - and for a good reason. Images in a slideshow are treated as Chapters and each Track (a slideshow is treated as a Track) is limited to 99 Chapters. Apple created a sort of 'hack' in iDVD 6 allowing several Tracks to be linked together creating slideshows of more than 99 images.
The problem is, MANY set-top DVD players don't like the 'hack' and will freeze after 99 images or drop the music after 99 images.
The ONLY sure way to create a slideshow with more than 99 images that will play in all DVD players is to create the slideshow as a movie in iPhoto or iMovie.

Burned dvd stops before last slide

I had about 125 photos in a slideshow I just burned on a DVD. It plays fine until photo 65 and then stops. My save show plays all the way through in IDVD but the burned dvd stops. Any ideas why or what I can do? It is not a rewritable DVD.

First:

Second:
Create a disk image and see how that plays. Your burned DVD should function the same way. Might be media-related.
I recommend a disk image burned to Verbatim DVD-R at 4X or slower using Toast or Disk Utility.
David Pogue also recommends Verbatim on page 356 of his latest book:
iMovie HD & iDVD 6: The Missing Manual
Quoting David: "Cheaper brands don't use the same amount of organic dyes and are more likely to suffer premature deaths."

Burned DVD stops or music skips at 100th chapter

I am creating a slideshow with music in iDVD. When playing the burned dvd the music skips or the dvd stops at the 100th picture. Any fix for the problem? I noticed that iDVD automatically assigns each picture its own chapter so it could be the 100th chapter that causes the problem. If so, is there any way to have more than 1 picture per chapter?
Thanks for your help!

The 99 photos was because, as the original poster indicates, each photo is a chapter and the Video DVD standard (nothing to do with Apple, but the industry standard) is 99 chapters max. These days many players will play past 99 chapters, but many others, especially older ones, the strictly conform to the DVD standard balk when there are more than 99 chapters.
So while iDVD will now allow slide shows past 99 photos, if you want your DVD to be compatible with the most set top players, you are better off limiting your slideshow to no more than 99 photos. If you want more, then you want to create your slideshow manually in iPhoto or iMovie and place your own chapter markers keeping the number of chapters under 100.

My iPhoto "share" drop down menu no longer has the burn dvd option. What do I do?

My iPhoto "share" drop down menu no longer has the burn dvd option. What do I do?

That feature was dropped with iPhoto 9. Select the photos you want to burn to disk, export to a folder on the Desktop via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu, insert a blank disk in the optical dirive, drag the folder onto the disk icon and drag it to the Trash bin to burm.

Burned DVD stops playing but soundtrack ok

Hi
When I burn a DVD it burns visuals up to a certain point and then stops. So when I play the DVD I get so far and then picture freezes. The soundtrack seems to be ok though so not sure why this is happening. Anyone any ideas ?

Hi spaceface:
What are you playing it in? The mac DVD player or a
stand alone?
Sue
Hi Sue
I am playing it in a DVD player but same problem exists when playing on the Mac. Ive re-tried and heres a copy of the error message I am receiving - probably will narrow the problem down somewhat !
Errors were found during the buring process.
The recording device reported the illegal request: Buffer underrun. (0x21, 0x02.)

No audio from movie on the burned DVD

This is the 5th DVD I've made with the "Chapters" Theme on IDVD 6. All 5 were created as movies from various clips in IMovie and shared with IDVD. The other 4 came out fine, but on this 5th one, everything works fine on the computer in IMovie and IDVD, but when I burn the DVD, there is no audio on the movie. There is audio on all 3 menus, but when I click on the button, no sound on the actual movie. I've read quite a few of the discussions regarding audio problems, but most seem to be regarding loss of audio on menus or slideshows. In a response regarding these menu problems, someone referred to a muted sound icon. I can't find any audio icons for the actual movie. I've been working on this for over a week. Would really appreciate some help. Thanks.

Hi
May be this applies ?
*No audio on DVD disc.*
Most common origin:
1 Imported audio from iTunes:
• In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
• Use this in Your movie project
2 Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
Before burning the DVD:
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If OK:
• Make Your DVD - or -
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple Disk Util tool - and at an as slow speed as possibly eg x1
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

How to pull the videos off the burned DVD

I burned all my stuff on a dvd and was wondering if i can get them back off the burned dvd

Hello Derek,
Yes you can but you'll need to download and install MPEG Streamclip, and purchase and install Apple's MPEG Playback Components.
You can then rip the DVD files and save them as Quicktime movies.

Why don't my chapter marks work on the burned DVD?

I spent most of the weekend learning iMovie and creating a DVD of our Children's Holiday Concert with clips and 18 chapter marks. I used the iMovie link to create a iDVD project. In that project all of my chapter marks show up in the menues and the map. I loaded short movie clips in all of the dropzones just cuz I can. Looks great in iDVD. In preview I can navigate utilizing the menu buttons with no problem. So I decide to burn my first masterpiece, which is too large for a single layer DVD, but, no problem, I am well prepared and decide to burn a Dual Layer so I can stay in Best Performance, and put my DL super drive thru its paces for the first time. After 3 hours of rendering, I pull out my disc and take it to a set-top unit to make sure it looks good. It starts, it plays fine. I advance to the 2nd chapter and then the 3rd, no problem. But after getting into the 3rd chapter it appears that none of the chapter marks after chapter 3 are there. They show in the menu, but selecting any chapter after chapter 3 drops you into the middle of chapter 3 and no farther. What's goin' on? (Apologies to Marvin Gaye.)

Helloi there!
I am not surpriced if your dvdwriter did "forget to do the second layer" ? I made a dvd with 3 small movies the other day, 1 movie, slideshow,and a blooper.
Maeby you should do the same! 18 chapters is alot, make them simpler by sending them to Q-time as new miniature films You then make nr.1 movie in imovie open idvd and create a new prjkt Use a simple theme then add Q-tmovies 1 by 1 to new buttons as extras (chapternames). the menucontrols on dvdplayer can be alittle confusing but no 1 movie starts imidiatly to and goes back to menu when ready wiewed....
Go with tiger! Ivar..

This is about the still image size changing from what I see on the computer monitor and what the burned DVD shows on the TV

I have Prem.El 12 and have used PE4 for years. I have a new PC that runs Win7Pro. The still images on the computer monitor are within the "safe margins". The still images after the movie has been burned to a disk are MUCH smaller on the TV screen. Is this an issue of 16:9 vs 4:3 ratios? My TV is 4:3. Can I tell PE12 to make the movie a 4:3?

retchemteach
Although I have seen your post of today in my Inbox Email Notifications, that post has not yet appears in this thread. It will probably will sooner or later. But, to keep things moving along....this is a copy of what I am seeing as your message of today in my Indox Email Notifications
Thank you for your patience in the time it is taking me to get back to you.
I am still trying to buy some DVD-RW discs and will hopefully do that in a
bit. Meanwhile, I have more info for you and some simple (I hope)
questions. If you want to insert your answers, that would be fine.
My camera (for stills and video) is set to the 4:3 ratio. It is capable of
being set to a 16:9 ratio if I wanted to do that. I looked in its TOOLS
menu and saw this info.
My TV is definitely a 4:3 TV. (I measured it with my tape measure and
divided W/L to get 1.33) The TV can show a 16:9 movie and just adds the
black bars on the top and bottom. Question: What will my old 4:3 movies
look like on a 16:9 TV whenever we buy one of those?
It seems to me that I want to set PE12 to the NTSC DV Standard you
mentioned.
I do NOT know how to “size your photos so that each has a 4:3 aspect”,
unless you mean doing that in Photoshop Elements, which I know how to do
(*see below)
I had NOT considered that I would need to watch the preset for the
‘Publish+Share’ step; so that’s good to know (I copied and pasted your info
for later use).
BTW, years ago when I had difficulties with my XP computer working on PE4
(had only 2 GB RAM), an Adobe tech told me to resize my photos * to have a
720 pixel width (the height would be automatically adjusted) to lower the
file size to something my computer could handle without crashing. (That
was back in the good ol’ days when Adobe support would actually talk with
their customers and try to help them in the first month)
My new computer has 16GB RAM. Do you think I still need to reduce file
size? One does lose some sharpness in the resizing process…..however,
these videos I’m making are travelogues and are for a fun way to view pics
and videos of a trip…nothing Earth shattering….and just a hobby to keep me
off the streets.
I truly appreciate the time you take to help me (and others). I was even
tempted to try to install my old PE4 on my new computer just to be able to
enjoy my hobby again.
My reply to the above....
1. If you camera is giving you 4:3 photos and your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 is running on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, then leave
the photos as is unless you have a lot of photos and each has pixel dimensions sizes way over 1920 x 1080 pixels that are giving your computer resource issues. If you have to down size them because of computer resources, then copy the photos to a computer desktop folder and also create an empty folder on the computer desktop.
a. Photoshop Elements Editor, File Menu/Process Multiple Files.
Process Files form Folder
Source - browse to and select the computer desktop folder with photos to be resized
Destination - browse to and select the empty computer desktop folder
Image Size
             Check Mark Next To Resize Images
            (no check mark next to Constrain Proportions)
            Type in Width = 1000 (set units for pixels)
            Type in Height = 750 (set unites for pixels)
File Size
           Check Mark Next to Convert Files To
           Set for JPEG High Quality
The above should work fine for a NTSC DV Standard project with a burn to DVD disc with preset NTSC_Dolby DVD (4:3 video).
2. With regard to the TV Set and 16:9 video....when you have the DVD-player attached to the TV, do you have the opportunity to bring up a display of menus with
controls for Picture and Aspect Ratio? From what you have written so far, it looks like the answer is no. I am not sure how your TV DVD
player will handle 16:9.
Best do a mini test run
1. Project preset set manually to NTSC DV Widescreen (please refer to post 1 link)
A few photos sized for 1600 x 1200
In the Premiere Elements project, use the Safety Margins inner rectangle for text placement
Publish+Share/Disc/DVD disc with preset = NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD.
See what that looks like on your TV DVD player.
If you discovered that your current TV DVD player can be set for a 16:9 display, then I have a preferred workflow for
NTSC DV Widescreen which typically gives best possible results. Hints of things to come.
Please review and consider. Thanks for the follow ups.

Last Scene Selection Will Play on the Burned DVD

I only have two scene selections. If you are in the iDVD project, you are able to click on either scene selection and they play fine. After I burn onto a dvd, the 2nd scene selection will not play. The movie is 55:45 min. and I chose "Prof. Qual."

Then - the rest of trouble shooting
• free space on Start-Up hard disk. How Much ? (others of no interest)
• corrupted preference file
• error in Permissions or on Hard disk
• versions of Mac OS + iDVD + QuickTime - missmatch
see my general notes on this.
Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.
• Delete iDVD pref. file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref. file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named.
com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Disconnect all external hard disks and try - FireWire, USB/2, AirPort or Net-work connected.
To work OK I prefer FireWire AND it must be Mac OS Extended formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - WILL NOT DO for video - neither for iMovie or FinalCut or iDVD any version ! This also includes any USB-memory sticks.
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple’s Disk Utilities application)
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK will work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’09 v. 7.0.4, Mac OS X.5.8 AND QuickTime 7.6.4 - is OK (does work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
or
Macintosh HD/Users/Your log-in//Library/Application Support/iDVD/Installed Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem ! ! Finally ! !
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
No of Colors - must be set to millions
EdinSF writes that, The 10.6.3 update with an Open GL fix seems to have taken care of the problem.

How can I increase the resolution of a picture used in the burned DVD?

My version is Elements 10 and I have always had a problem when making the main menu that included a picture. Even if the picture is 12 MPixels it appears as if is less then 1 MPixels.

VideoEditor
From what you wrote, you are not targeting the resolution of the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc that you are producing in Premiere Elements. Rather you are targeting the disc menus that are applied to a given project destined for DVD-VIDEO on DVD . Difference.
What you get in the disc menus (main and scene) traces back to the creation of .psd files in Premiere Elements folders on the computer hard drive hard drive. There 3 different .psd sets for each theme. One "s" for standard, "w" for widescreen, and "hd" for high definition. Whether you are in NTSC or PAL, "s" and "w" have a frame size of 720 x 576, and "hd" 1440 x 1080.
The choices (what you see) for "hd" and non "hd" menus in the disc menus section of the program is determined by the project preset. If you have a "hd" project, you will get some "hd" choices mixed with non hd choices. When you pick one of the non hd choices, believe it or not, the program may give you the "s" 4:3 version of the .psd and not the "w" version. The details can be overwhelming.
Bottom line:
You can set the resolution of your main menu inserts as high as you want, however you may crash the feature and or program and still not achieve better clarify/sharpness for the image in Disc Menu Preview or in playback of the final product. For the inserts, you can scale them to fit the insert space if black borders. Some buttons can be scaled to a larger size, of course within the limits of the total space provided and only if you do not create overlapping of the buttons.
Please review and if you need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks.

I have burned a DVD using I-DVD with pictures from Iphoto and I am wondering why the metadata that includes the Faces tags are not showing up in the original files on the burned DVD?

Request for help

Faces is not a standard and has no place to go in metadata - in iPhoto you can export including much of the metadata by chencking all of the boxes when you export - no idea at all what iDVD does - better to ask in the iDVD forum

DVD burn not stopping??

I was burning some contents to a DVD but I decided to cancel it, so I pressed the "x". Then a new bar appeared and said the the burn was "stopping" but it has been stuck in the same position for a while now and I don't know what to do. Heelp..

i get a grey screen with a flashing globe on it.
has anybody got ANY idea what this means?
This icon means that the computer has been set to start up from a disk on the network. Open the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences and select your hard disk as the startup disk, or restart with the X key held down.

Superdrive stopped burning DVD no longer recognized by computer

I am using an i Book G4. I have been consistently burning DVD's on the superdrive for several days. Today in iDVD it said there was no superdrive on the computer. I can however play DVD's on the drive. Is this a soft ware or hard ware problem? I don't know what else to check. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

I assume what you were asking was what program I was using to burn the DVD. I was using iDVD and that is the program that first told me my machine did not have a burner. I use the disk image to actually burn the DVD. I have found it much more stable than trying to burn from iDVD no matter which of the 3 Mac computers I use. Thanks for you input. I was hoping there was a way to see if there was a software corruption causing the burn DVD to disconnect. I appreciate your interest.

Burned DVD gets green on the lower half

I have a problem with burning DVD.
Once I simulate the project on DVD Studio Pro,the lower half gets green.
Then I can not burn a DVD(shows "untitled DVD") or the burned DVD also gets same problem.
My project work fine on final cut pro.
how can I solve this problem?

i copied the dvd
How did you 'copy' the DVD? iDVD isn't for copying DVDs - Disk Utility is for copying DVDs.
Unfortunately, Disk Utility doesn't seem to like to copy DVD+R discs. Toast is your best bet.
