The error #-1 was reported...

Ok guys, can anyone help me out,
i've created my project in iDVD 5, it's small enough to fit onto a DVD, but when I try to burn it to disc or to disc image, it goes all through the processes
of encoding slideshow, encoding video, but when it reaches the end of this process i get the following message appear
"Errors found during the burning process"
"The error #-1 was reported..."
And it doesn't create a disc image of my file.
Can anyone please help me and let me know what this error could possibly relate to. I'm starting to pull my hair out now.
Regards

Hi D
Sue is most certainly right.
But if I was You I would check each movie that You dropped/imported to
Your DVD project. I got this error when adding sound to one movie and
this sound file (.aiff) was way to large compared to my movie. Say 15 min
movie and a more than 60 min sound-file of which I needed about 15 sec.
So I cut in the sound track the first part and the last part - deleting those
and keeping the middle part. This resulted in that iMovie thought that there
was remaing sound way outside the timeline on the right end - non reachable.
When making a DVD = -1#Error
Deleting the soundtrack - OK DVD
Importing new sound but in a more fitting size. - DVD OK

IDVD 4 Error Message: The error #-1 was reported-

I am an old hand at making and burning DVDs. I've converted VHS tapes onto almost 600 DVDs. Recently I upgraded from OS 10.2.8 to 10.5.1. In the process I messed up and had to reinstall OS 10.2.8 on a different internal drive. Since then I have not been able to burn any DVDs. My latest try ended with, Errors were found in the burning process The error #-1 was reported…
I've been searching the web for an hour looking for a list of error (I assume iDVD errors) with no luck. I found a programmers page -- NO VALUE. On this massive web someone must have an error code list that tells me what to do.
Like: Error #1, Bad Media Error #2, Lost sync try again Error #-1, tough luck start from scratch
Does anyone know of such a list?

Hi
MAIN GUESS: iDVD 4 and Mac OS X.5.x *DOESN'T match at all* CAN'T be solved.
*Previous versions of Mac OS:*
ERROR #-1
Just having burning problems in iDVD that resulted in Error #-1 which I have found originates in iMovie.
This was due to problems with iMovie and sound tracks.
- In my case there were sounds that hid fare away outside
the sound tracks. When deleting all sounds the DVD burned OK
Restoring the sound track one at a time and with special observations to
the fact that no sound reached outside the right end of the
sound tracks (Invisible and impossibly to mark to delete). It at
last made a perfect DVD disk.
This problem is rather tricky to get hold of be cause I couldn't
see the sound files how much I enlarged the sound tracks.
a) empty the sound tracks
b) re-insert the sounds one at a time.

*When not knowing what to do.*
There are a set of things to test:
1. Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk: It should have 25Gb or more. This is especially important when running iDVD.
iDVD can’t address any other hard disk as scratch-disk so space is of uttermost importance.
2. The Hard disk is untidy:
Repair Permissions (Apple Disc Util tool) - Run this
Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool) - To run this You need to start from a CD/DVD or external hard disk.
3. Delete iDVD pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and have a re-try
4. Let Your Mac turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help.
5. Program miss-match:
iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.3.9 AND QuickTime 6.5.2 - is OK
iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4 - is OK
iDVD 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4 - is OK
6. UPDATES - is important: iLifeSupport8.1.1.dmg is important for running iLife08 bundle.
7. iDVD (08) Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
8. Mac OS X.5 (Leopard) - at least iDVD 1 to 4 - don’t work any more
9. Trying to collect info on. Leopard system:
iDVD08 - not working -> Should be soluble
iDVD 6 - not working -> Should be soluble
iDVD 5 - not working -> Don’t bother - will not work
iDVD 4 or previous - not working -> Don’t bother - will not work

The error #-2147352543 was reported- when burning from iDVD

I created a DVD project in iDVD and used Share to use iDVD. When I click the burn button I get this error: "The error #-2147352543 was reported…" I clicked on the map and there are no error triangles. The error appears almost immediately. My iDVD software is up to date. I was able to burn a short DVD a few days ago without problems.
Please help.

error message as soon as I click the burn button.
Can you create a disk image?
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/18.html
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html
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 Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. 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 did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD 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.)

The error #-34506 was reported-

Has anyone seen this error? My project will get all the way through the process and say "Errors were found during the burning process" I have searched for it and found nothing. I am burning a DVD with 3 movies on it. Had no problem burning a separate 3 movies on the same disks so I think it's something in my movie files.
I found an error help topic that was close in number that talked about making sure that the scene names were in the tv safe area. So, I fixed a couple of those and it didn't help.
I have tried saving it as a disk image but it has the same problem and no image saves. I am using Maxell DVD-R disks.

Hi
Always a good idea to use the search function in this forum:
*J Keller writes:*
Welcome to the forums.
If you google that error, there seems to be a variety of solutions. I'd start with some basics to get your Mac running well.
You'll need 10-15 gigs of free space on your main hard drive for scratch space.
Buy good quality disks - I've seen recommendations for Maxell, Sony, Verbatim, TDK and a few others based on testing. I primarily use the first two and usually don't have trouble.
Turn off your screen savers and energy savers; don't let your hard drive go to sleep.
Get your computer healthy and ready for some heavy lifting. (video work could be the hardest job your computer can do) MacJanitor followed by Apple's DiskUtility's Repair Permissions is my routine.
No other apps open.
I import into iDVD rather than share from iMovie (fewer errors). Another way to do this is Export from iMovie to Full Quality DV (Quicktime). This latter option creates a standalone version of your iMovie that you can double-check for proper functioning.

"Error #-1 was reported..." No disk image created

I created a new project, using the iDVD 4.0 movie projector theme. I dropped a 75 minute movie onto the theme that I created in Final Cut Pro and exported as a self contained movie. It has chapters and there are 5 pages of scene selection submenus. I put a :30 clip into the drop zone in the main menu and each of the submenu pages. I changed the default font to American Typewriter, and its color to white instead of the default color. All seemed well.
I chose Save as Disk Image and let it rip. I checked on it occasionally, and it seemed to be burning right along; I could see the footage passing in the burn window. At the end of the ordeal, I got a message that "Error #-1 was reported...", and I have no disk image and no encoded assets.
What's up with that? I had saved an almost identical project as a disk image a couple of days ago, and have used the same two movies for this one. The differences are that I made a couple of fixes in the movie, and that I exported as self contained instead of reference movie.
I have been using iDVD 5 since it came out, and had very good luck. But this project is giving me a headache. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
BC

To follow up on this, I found that by switching to a completely different theme, my error message did not recur. So then I went back to my original theme (the movie projector) and did a test with a short clip, and I did not get the error.
I did the test on the movie projector theme without changing anything about it; when I first did the project that generated the error, I had made changes to the font, position and color of the theme, and I had five pages of scene selection submenus. It's possible that something I edited didn't agree with iDVD, and I got my error.
But it was INFURIATING to wait six hours for a disc image to burn, only to find that it didn't work. In the end, I decided to go without a menu and have an autoplay DVD. I used a method I found here in the discussions:
http://karsten.schluter.googlepages.com/nothemedvd
I used the one labeled the hard way. It worked great!

one hit, no errors

Error #3452 was reported?

Folks,
I have created a slideshow in iMovie and then exported to iDVD to make menus and then burn. When burning, it goes almost all the way through the encoding process and I get an error message that says, "Disc burning finished, there were errors while attemping to burn the disc." Below it says, "Error #3452 was reported."
This is all that I get - any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe B

Hey Joe,
did you try creating a disk image? This procedure usually works better than burning directly from iDVD. Also: iDVD likes to have the project(s) on your startup disc with 15 - 20 GB of available disc space
1. iDVD is NOT a disc burning app, so leave that work to software designed for it. Instead use iDVD's "Save as Disc Image" option (File > Save as Disk image). This creates an .img file on your HDD, that can be stored for future use and gives you the option to preview your DVD on your Mac before burning to disc.
2. Use Disc Utility or Toast to burn your DVD at slow speed. 4x is acceptable, 2x (... or even 1x) is better.
3. Use high quality DVD-R (not DVD+R) media (e.g. Verbatim) to minimize burn errors and compatibility issues. Make sure the DVD is compatible with slow burn speed (e.g. 1x-4x)
hope this helps

I am trying to listen BBC radio news from BBC App, but on pressing the button I always get the error "there was an error playing this radio feed". What is the source of this error and how can I remove it?

I am trying to listen BBC radio news from BBC App, but on pressing the button "live radio" I always get the error "there was an error playing this radio feed". What is the source of this error and how can I remove it?

That is probably just a generic error message and you might not ever know what is causing it. Assuming that you have been able to play live radio with the app in the past (I know nothing about the app) and assuming that all other Internet related functions (Safari, email, etc.) are working properly on your iPad, quit the app completely and reboot your iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that fails to resolve the issue, you might want to reboot your router, unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

I am getting the error "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)"

I am getting the error "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)" when trying to buy Logic Pro X. How do I fix this? I've tried all of the solutions I've found online and nothing has worked.

Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try purchasing Logic Pro X.
BTW, we have no way of knowing exactly the solutions you've tried that didn't work unless you tell us

I keep getting the error "there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. The host is down?

Thanks so much for your reply. In the meantime, everything else is working. I called Apple support and they were very unhelpful, wanted to charge me for support on a phone I'm trying to get rid of to upgrade to the iPhone 5, but, I can't get rid of it until I synch it to my computer.... Any suggestions to see what's blocking it?

RDS 2012 The WinRM service failed to create the following SPNs: Additional Data The error received was 1355

Hi,
I have RDS 2012 session deployment in Azure with connection broker high availability.
The "Remote Desktop Management" service does not start automatically when the connection broker virtual machines are stopped and started.
I see the below error in event logs of both the connection broker VMs
Note: WHen i manually start the "Remote Desktop Management" service after this error, it all works without issues.
I get
Error ID 46 - Crash dump initialization failed!
Warning 10154 - in Microsoft-Windows-Windows Remote Management

Additional Data
The error received was 1355

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
In respect to error 46, this issue may occur if the computer boots without a configured dump file. The default dump file is the pagefile. During a clean Windows OS installation, the very first boot will hit this condition as the pagefile has not been set up
yet.
To resolve this issue, you may want complete the paging file configuration.
More information:
Event ID 46 logged when you start a computer
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2756313/EN-US
In regards to error 10154, you need to create the SPN specified in the event using the
setspn.exe utility and also need to grant the “Validated Write to Service Principal Name” permission to the NETWORK SERVICE.

After 11.0.10 update Save as gives the error "there was a problem reading this document (21)"

We have some PDF reports that are generated from Microsoft Dynamcs AX.
When we try to "Save as" we get an error.
The client PCs that have Reader 11.0.08 do not have any problems.
The PCs that have Reader 11.0.10 give the following messages on save as:
"The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (21)"
when I click OK to that error I get "Out of memory error"
I read that holding down CTRL when clicking OK would give additional information, and it told me this: "This direct object already has a container"
No older versions of Reader have had any problems with these same PDF files.

Yes, we have it on multiple documents. As mentioned, they are reports that are generated from Microsoft Dynamcs AX. I have found out that not all reports get the error. PDFs from Office or Autodesk AutoCAD do not get the error.
These are the errors it displays:
