I have been having trouble burning a DVD.

I have been having trouble burning a DVD. It goes through all the steps until it gets to the multiplexing "burn" step and then with 3 minutes left the disk pops out. The disk is left empty and an error comes up. I have been able to burn DVD's before, so this is frustrating.

Well - not correct answer as I understands it - This is a very complex question. In my case I'de put a button just touching the TV-Safe area boarder. Moving it a minute inside and the Error disappeared.
BUT - there are so many other things that I collected a long long list on this - read and see if You find help here.
Multiplexing Error
PART One.
Use of strange video/audio material eg .avi, .wmv, .mp3 etc.
I only use.
Video - StreamingDV (miniDV tape via FireWire) and
Audio = .aiff (as on audio-CDs) (else coverted to this .aff 48KHz)
Chapters !
A. Using strange letters in video project name eg +,/; etc. keep to a-z and 0-9 strange letters in project name eg +
as described by Donnyboy69. Does the title of your project have any symbols or decimal points in it. If so, that is why you are getting the error. I had a project that had a + sign which caused the same problem. I renamed it without the symbol and low and behold, it worked.
B. Location of Chapters
• Can’t be at start or end of movie (Skip first/start one - iDVD sets this by it self. At the End - no need)
• Not in a transition (or within 2-3 seconds from it)
Important when from iMovie HD6 or previous - Now also observed when using FCE 4
PART Two.
from Robert Modero.
"Multiplexing Error. Problem during initialization of tracks"
Simply remember to add subtitles to your Quicktime files and menu buttons.
Once I did that, I was back in business.
from Boise Jim
Do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on grey background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
I always makes a DiskImage first and test this so that it runs OK
I use only - Verbatim DVDs
I use only - DVD-R
I burn at an as slow speed possibly eg x1
This gives good DVDs
PART Three.
Multiplex Error

Back again. Here is what I have found to work. I also have and use a LaCie DVD-R/RW DL external drive and a LaCie external hard drive as well. Since yesterday I have tried a few ways to burn a themed iDVD project having four 56 minute movies on it, amounting to 226 minutes onto a DVD DL disc, capacity 240 minutes. Apple tech support really didn't know what to do but gave me a very good tip. I had two options left. Apple tech support's tip was to try disc image. One of the replies on a thread with this subject said not to, but my experience today is good. Put your project onto "Burn to disc image," under "iDVD, file." Yesterday encoding took me 23 1/2 hours. Overnight for iDVD disc image, encoding took 21 1/2 hours (again) while I slept. This morning I tried to copy/burn disc image to a DVD with Roxio Toast 7, and it stopped near the end of the burn with some kind of "error" message. So then I tried Utilities> Disc Utility> Burn icon, and followed it through. Be sure to click the DVD DL drive in the window "Burn disc in.". I had one other problem though. At the end of a 46 minute copy, it started to verify, and at the end of verify it rejected the burn. So I tried again, and when "verify" appeared, I clicked on "Skip." The disc finished burning and is doing fine and well. A long and tortuous process, but at last something works. I made several additional copies using Disc Utility. Best wishes. Chuck, Chicago.
2. Disconnect any other external devices not absolutly needed.
eg external USB/USB2 hard disks, other FW hard disks etc.
3 Chapter marks in transitions - minimum 2 sec from

First, I do not think that mixing widescreen and standard makes a difference in iDVD.
Second, you should use a better brand of DVD disk. Also, many of us have experienced fewer problems on playback with DVD-R disks. Recommended brands here are Verbatim, Maxell and Taio Yuden. Memorex and TDK are not consistent and may not give you a correct burn. They apparently have fewer layers in the composition of the disk. I have always used Verbatim DVD-R disks and have not had any burn problems.
Also, choose a slower burn speed, 4x or less.
Third, to determine if the iDVD project will burn properly, create a disk image file (from within iDVD, go File->Save as Disk Image) and test it. Mount the disk image and then open DVD Player (in Applications) and view your project. If it plays correctly, you can then burn the actual DVD disk from the disk image file using Disk Utility.

I did everything I've seen suggested, but a friend (who used to be an Apple Genius) suggested that I do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on grey background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
It worked, and I got a clean burn from iDVD.
Hopefully this can help other people.

Well, I finally got it, and it was odd enough to post here incase anyone looks this topic up again. Many things were tried, including burning the uneditited film, the edited film without titles and chapter markers, abbreviating the chapter markers in case length was the issue (remember the old iMovie used to truncate them when moving to iDVD?). In the process, I noticed that one, and only one, chapter marker was on the same line as the title marker. All the others were on the line above. The only way I seemed able to change that was to clip a few seconds of film. After that last clip, the offending marker took a place on the line above, as were all the others. That run published, compiled completely and burned. That's one for the books.

To add my experience with Multiplex Errors using iDVD (7.0.4), I recently created two iDVD projects
Video from both passed from FCE 4.01 with chapters
One project worked fine in creating disk image file
The other gave Multiplex Errors
I tried suggestions to remove special characters and no chapter marks at beginning, but nothing worked
Note that I've used iDVD for dozens of projects and this is first time I've run into Multiplex Errors
Anyway, for problem project, I tried an experiment where I removed all chapters in FCE and passed to new iDVD project
This time multiplex errors gone
So had something to do with chapters
So now I tried numerous experiments to remove individual chapters and try again creating disk image with new iDVD project
After numerous trys, I was able to narrow problem down to 1 "Bad" chapter mark
That is, when I left the "bad" chapter in my FCE project and passed to iDVD, iDVD gave multiplex error
When I removed "bad" chapter mark (and others in), no mulitplex error
As a final experiment, I moved "bad" chapter mark about 5-10 secs beyond original point and passed to iDVD, the multiplex errors now magically went away and I was able to finally create my disk image.
I have no idea why this worked, but thought I'd mention here in case someone else runs into similar problem.

In addition to Bengt's fine advice, burning errors can occur if you have located any of your menu buttons wholly or partly outside of the safe TV viewing area. Go to your main project menu, then click on View/Show TV Safe Area, to check. Drag into the safe viewing area any buttons that are outside the safe viewing area.
Russ One - suggest this
Multiplexer Error-There was an error during muxing preparation
One thing that worked for me was to export the video w/o chapter markers as a self contained movie (thereby not loosing the edits & etc). Then make a new FCE project and import that movie into a new sequence and add the chapter markers. I've used "-", "&" and "," with no problem in the chapter names. Removing the markers or exporting without them did solve the problem but renaming them with just numbers 1,2,3....5, did not solve the problem and since this problem seems to happen with with iMovie as well, it would suggest the problem is in the video or audio and in combination with the chapter markers iDVD just can't handle it. The only other possibility is that both iMovie and FCE share the same or similar chapter marker code that some how is corrupting the markers.
Yours Bengt W

I have an '09 15" mac book pro running os x mavericks and I'm having trouble burning a dvd.

I have an '09 15" mac book pro running os x mavericks and I'm having trouble burning a dvd. In iMovie, I sent my movie to file and then to iDVD to burn a copy. It was saved in Documents. When I went to iDVD, the thumbnail image of the movie to be burned was faded and inoperable. What's going on now?

Did you export the movie out of iMovie as 480p? Next just drag the movie from the Documents folder into the iDVD menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Lastly 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.

Trouble burning a DVD for a DVD player

I am fairly new to Mac so forgive my ignorance but I am having the hardest time burning a DVD-RW in such a way that it will be readable by a DVD player. I have a blu-ray player that can read MP3 and MP4 and still I get a message that says it cannot play the disc. I have tried using Disk Utility, Burn, and iPhoto Slideshow Export.
It works perfectly fine for both Mac and PC computers but not for a DVD player. What are the options?

Have you checked your DVD player that it can actually read DVD-RW? Some cannot. Just out of curiosity - why would you burn to a re-writable disk?
If it is a video/slideshow, then you do need authoring/burn software such as Burn or Roxio Toast in order to burn it in a format DVD players can handle. Finder cannot burn a video/slideshow which will playable in a DVD player.

Having trouble burning a dvd - error message.

I recently bought a 2009 macbook on ebay, and when I tried to burn a dvd, it didn't work and would scratch up my discs. I informed the person I bought it from, and they were nice enough to replace the drive. I just got it back in the mail and have been trying to burn dvds, but I keep getting an error message when using Toast version 10 and also trying on Toast 8 that says:
The Drive reported an error;
Sense Key = Medium Error
Sense Code = 0x02
NO SEEK COMPLETE
It will start burning on and then when writing the lead out on toast 10, it gives me an error, and that was the error message I caught when I tried to burn using toast 8. With toast 8 it barely started before that message came up. I have been trying with Sony DVD-R discs that I am able to use on my mom's iMac from 2008. I'm confused; should I try a different kind of disc?

Welcome to discussions.
Be certain to use good DVD media.
You may want to try using Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R 4X.
Also, save the project as a disk image and burn it as slowly as possible with either the disk utility or Toast™.

Trouble burning Sony dvd-r discs

I am not able to burn video to Sony brand DVD-r discs and I am able to burn to memorex discs of same type, if I slow down the burn rate from 8x to 3x. Any way I can use the Sony Discs? Thanks.

Hi! Sense You have not posted your model number found on the bottom of your laptop; there's no way for us to know what OS you have or any thing else. How many different Sony DVD's have you tried to burn video?? If you have W7, there are trouble shooting features in the Action Center, which can be accessed from search.
I Love my Satellite L775D-S7222 Laptop. Some days you're the windshield, Some days you're the bug. The Computer world is crazy. If you have answers to computer problems, pass them forward.

Trouble burning a DVD using AVCHD format

I recently completed about a 19 minute video project (photos and short video clips), and I was able to burn it to a DVD at standard quality using Premiere Elements 10. When I try to burn to AVCHD, though, I get an error just before it's ready to start burning. It encodes all of the media and just switches to the Burn menu when "Error" pops up. There isn't any other explanation. I've also tried to burn to a folder and I get the same result.
I've used Premiere Elements 10 for 4 years doing this same type of project, and I've been able to burn to AVCHD successfully in the past. Any ideas why it's no longer working?
Computer specs: Dell Inspiron 3847 desktop, i5 processor, 12 GB RAM, 1 TB hard drive w/ 770 GB free.
I appreciate any help.

Premiere Elements 10 Windows 8.1 (assumed 64 bit). Just to get it out of the way...what video card/graphics card does your computer use? If NVIDIA GeForce, please stop and let us know immediately.
Have you found that this issue is confined to this particular project with its particular Timeline content? Can you start a new project and get a successful
burn to AVCHD format on DVD disc with the same or other Timeline content?
Let us go through the drill of deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file, and, if that does not work, then the hold 10.0 Folder in which it exists.
Local Disc C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
10.0
and in the 10.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then you delete the whole 10.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives enabled so that you can see the complete path cited. The path to Folder Options starts with File Explorer in Windows 8.1 64 bit.
Depending on your answers, this issue may take us into a deeper look into the Timeline content construction. But, the answers will be in the details. Let
us see what they tell us.
Thank you.

Trouble burning onto DVD

So, I'm done making my DVD. I hit the simulate button and everything plays fine. But when I go to burn it, this comes up: "Building was not successful. See log."
I check the log and it says this, "No video or still assets found in Track: Track 1"
What does that even mean?

It means exactly what it says.
When you import your assets (the video and audio files) you have to drag them onto the green Track icon in the Graphical View, which is at the top left of your screen.
You then have to either link the track to a menu button, or designate the track as First Play, in which case it will start automatically when inserted into a player.
The DVD Studio Pro Users Manual is a good place to start, it contains tutorials and detailed instructions about the complex process of authoring DVD disks.

Trouble burning first DVD, others OK

When burning DVDS for a basic DV project.
Everytime I finish a project and burn a disc the first copy doesnt play properly but all the following copys I burn play fine. Have tried useing different type DVDs, same thing happens. Is there a setting I need to change? Would appreciate any help.

Any attempt to install then next dvd fails.
ITunes reads the disc, initiates the burn continuation, then ejects the disc.

I tried different brands of dvds.

Break the overall playlist into individual playlists that each fit easily onto one disc. Burn them one at a time. It is a little extra work but you will save a lot of frustration.

Trouble encoding audio when burning to dvd

I have finished editing a nearly 2-hour long wedding video and all is going well, everything encodes fine until....it comes to my audio. I have now tried to burn this movie 7 times to dvd and EVERY time it freezes when it reaches the stage of encoding the audio. Any tips?
Message was edited by: Bri

Hello, trouble,
Welcome to the discussions. Sorry you are having so much trouble burning your DVD. What exactly do you see when you think it is freezing? Does it just look as if nothing is happening? Do you actually get a message that says there is a problem with the burn?
If you are using any version of iDVD prior to iDVD 8, I suspect that your audio is encoding fine and not really 'freezing'. It will LOOK as if everything has stopped, because the those versions did not include a 'time remaining' notice. You can see a small thumbnail of the menus encoding, and you can see the video of your movie as the video encodes, but when audio encoding is occurring, there is only a black square. Depending on your computer system, the process can take some time. I recommend that you just leave it alone, maybe overnight, and see if it is fine in the morning. On my older iMac, a nearly 2hr movie might take over 12 hours to finish encoding/burning.
I do recommend that do a 'save as disk image' for every iDVD project.
If you are not familiar with this process, it is the creation of a file that is an exact replica of your iDVD project. The encoding looks the same as it is occurring, but the end result is a disk image file, not a burned DVD disk. There are several reasons to do this: It can save you from wasting disks if there is something wrong that prevents a successful burn; you can view your disk image on your computer using the application DVD Player to view your project and see if it is ok; you can use the disk image for burning disks through Disk Utility (or Toast); and you can control the burn speed--should be 4x or less.
And, you now have a self-contained image file that you can save and from which you can burn disks in the future. Because it is self-contained, you can safely delete your iMovie and iDVD projects, thus saving drive space. Even though you can burn another DVD using one that you already have burned, the disk image file is a better backup. DVD disks can crack, break, melt, etc. and if you lose your copy, you will not be able to burn another.

When Burning a DVD from IDVD it does not encode Video

I am having trouble burning a DVD that will not freeze. All of them come out and are read by DVD players of all kinds, but it gets about 3 minutes into the video, and it freezes. I saved as Image to Disk, and it went through the Burning process flawlessly and played through in its entire contents, but then when I tried to burn it to a DVD, it made the menus fine, but when it came to encoding the video, it skipped that part and went straight to encoding audio and it did not work. It came out with just a little video on there, but it did not use the same process as the Save Disc to Image did. When I saved Disc to Image it played through the whole project in kind of a slow motion. The Burning to a DVD did not do that at all.
Please HELP!

I do not have 20gb free on my start up drive. I will once I delete the bulk of the project. How can I save the project to make sure that when I delete the big project, the parts that I have edited and want to not get deleted?
As for my Imovie, It is a 22 minute long home video that does include 5 chapter markers, including the one that starts the movie from the begining. There is music for every clip from my itunes. The theme i chose is the first one listed on the list. It starts in from the right side, and then scrolls across at the top. All of the menus work fine when i play my burned DVD. In fact, everything works fine except for that one part when it freezes up.
I do not understand what you mean by adding my movie to a drop zone and not to the background. The way i started it on Idvd was by clicking, create an Idvd from the menu on imovie.
I made a new step of progress and i got the encoding of the video, but it still did not work. It froze at 3:03 instead of 3:27, 3:38, or any of the others. This is the second disk i have made though that will play on my Powerbook. It freezes on everything else though.

Cant Burn a DVD

Having trouble burning a DVD.
if i burn photos from a folder to a CD, no problems. If i try to burn the same images from the same folder to a a DVD then the computer freezes, does it matter what type of DVD i use. Such as DVD-RW or DVD+RW

Well, Shelley.
If you'd bothered to describe the problem in more real detail I might have recommended some real sort of action. As your description goes, there is no reason that simple button will do any harm to DVD SP 's ability to burn discs. But since you mentioned version 4.03 of the software and version 10.5 of the operating system on Mac Pro I think there is your problem. Have you been able to burn discs in the past? If so, was it before 10.5? In any case you should upgrade at least to v. 4.1 of DVD SP which runs natively on Intel machines. Good luck with your project

Made movie from go pro on imovies. How do burn to DVD

Made movie from go pro on imovies but having trouble burning to DVD. Very new to this. An anyone help

AVI is just a 'wrapper' that can contain content encoded with many different CODECS (encoders); most of which aren't Mac compatable.
VOB files are MPEG streaming content.
Most AVI and all VOB files will require some sort of conversion to be useable in iDVD.
If you have a lot of such files, I suggest you look at purchasing Roxio's Toast; it is far more flexable than iDVD in the files it will accept and should work with your AVI and VOB files.

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

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.

Trouble getting a 16:9 video in Premiere to burn to DVD without cropping

I am using Adobe Encore CS5.1 and I am having trouble burning a 16:9 DVD. Everytime I create the DVD, the video becomes stretched and the footage is off-screen. I tried a couple different transcoding methods, but the best I could do still had some footage stretched off screen. I tried the DVD on my computer and DVD player, and both had the same issue. The video uploaded fine to YouTube, not cropping at all, so what do I have to change in order for the whole video to appear on the DVD? Movies do it all the time, so how do i get it to work? This is the first time in my six years of using Adobe that I am confused enough to use the forums, so needless to say, I'm stumped LOL
Thanks, hope I can figure it out.

Both files were exported from premiere correctly, because when I view them on youtube they look fine.
That does not follow. Youtube retranscodes them, and will display an HD movie just fine. If you do the HD to SD downrez incorrectly, they will not be correct on a DVD.
I still don't know whether you are doing HD to SD and whether you are brining HD into Encore. Give me more to work with.
I assume your avi and flv are the source material you are exporting from in Premiere. What are you transcoding them to (I.e. the transcode settings)? What are the pixel sizes from and to.
Does the asset show "Do Not Transcode" under the DVD transcode status column in project settings?
