Trouble Writing Finished DVD

My iDVD has been giving me some trouble lately.
What happens is iDVD goes through all the normal steps of encoding audio, video and such. Then, when it gets to the Writing DVD stage, it sounds like its trying to burn but no progress is made on the display onscreen and after a while, iDVD gives up and ejects the DVD saying that errors were found during the writing process. The weird thing is, this only happens ever other time. Usually 1 in 3 times I can get it to burn a DVD properly. Same thing goes for DVD Studio Pro.
It's always when it gets to the writing stage that I get trouble.
Any suggestions?

Hi Patrick
Can be anything from dirt to a dying DVD-burner.
I would:
1. Try a Cleaning CD/DVD disk
2. Make a "Disk Image" and burn this with either Apple Disk Util tool or
Roxio Toast™ - at an as slow speed as possible eg. x1, x2 or x4
3. Use Verbatim DVD-R disks
4. Check up QuickTime version and iDVD version.
QT 6.5.2 and iDVD 5.0.1 is a nice combination.
Still problems my bet is - severe problem -repair shop.

  • Trouble writing large Quicktime file to DVD

    I'm having trouble writing a large (2.4G) Quicktime mov. file to DVD. If I burn it as a video it comes out fine, but when I try to write it as a file the end product is jerky and staggered and can't be easily transferred to another computer. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the size of the file and if there is another way of transferring this file uncompressed, short of carrying my hard drive across town.

    The trouble is caused by the speed (data rate) that can be achieved when playing from DVD media via QuickTime Player.
    If you burn the DVD as a "data file" you should then copy it (temporarily) to the HD of the viewing machine. Drag the file from the DVD to the Desktop on the viewing machine and then open it with a double click.
    When you "burn" it as DVD media you are actually converting the file to MPEG-2 format and the DVD Player can handle these lower data rates.
    Does this make sense to you?

  • Trouble burning a DVD

    Hi I'm having trouble burning a DVD. When I click burn, it all goes well until it's finished when it says that the HVDVD_TS folder was not included in the final disc. If anybody can help I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • How do I include the photos in a imovie project to the finished dvd so the users can have access to them?

    I've included alot of old photos in an iMovie project and would like to include them on the finished DVD I create with iDVD. I woud like the users to be able to have access to them so they can print them, store them on their own computer or whatever they would like to do. How would I do this?

    You do this by creating a DVD-ROM section on your DVD. See this explanation from iDVD Help.
    Adding files to the DVD-ROM portion of a disc
    You can let viewers copy files directly from your DVD by adding the files to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc. These files are burned onto the DVD and are accessible when the disc is viewed on either a Windows PC or a Macintosh computer, but not a DVD player.
    You can add any kind of file to the disc. For example, if your disc contains a slideshow, you can add the image files to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc so viewers can download them to their own computers and print them. You can also add a file containing your movie production notes and other “extras.”
    To manually add files to the DVD-ROM part of your disc:
    Choose Advanced > Edit DVD-ROM Contents.
    The DVD-ROM Contents window opens.
    Click Add Files, or click New Folder first if you want to create a folder to put the files in.
    Browse to select your files or folders, then click Open to add them to the disc.
    You can also drag files directly to the DVD-ROM Contents window. When you are done, just close the window.
    When you add a file to the DVD-ROM portion of your disc, before you burn the disc the project contains just a reference to the location of the file on your hard disk, not the actual file. So if you delete a file from your computer or move it from its location after adding it to the DVD-ROM contents, you get a “File not found” message when you try to burn your disc. You can either remove these missing files from the DVD-ROM contents or find them on your computer and put them back in the original location so iDVD can access them.
    As you add files to the DVD-ROM contents, be sure to check the DVD Capacity meter in the Project Info window to find out how many gigabytes of disc space are being used. The Capacity meter shows the disc space taken up by the video portion of the disc as well as the DVD-ROM portion.

  • Trouble writing pixel array back to gif file

    Hi everyone. I am in the middle of constructing a steganography api for a final year group project. I have taken out the pixels into an array from a gif file. I am having trouble writing it back to a gif file. Here is my code:
    import javaSteg.stegoLibrary.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.image.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import Acme.*;
    import Acme.JPM.Encoders.*;
    public class Gif extends Canvas{
         public void encodeGif(byte[] imageData){
              //create toolkit obarrayPointerect
              Toolkit t = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
              MediaTracker tracker = new MediaTracker(this);
              //decode specified Gif cover
              Image img = t.createImage(imageData);      
              tracker.addImage(img,0);
              try{
                   tracker.waitForAll();
              catch(InterruptedException e){
              System.out.println("Tracker interrupted.");
              //retrive picture from image
              int[] pix = new int[img.getWidth(this) * img.getHeight(this)];
              PixelGrabber pg = new PixelGrabber(img, 0, 0, img.getWidth(this), img.getHeight(this), pix, 0, img.getWidth(this));
              try{ pg.grabPixels();
              } catch (InterruptedException ioe) {
                   System.err.println("Interrupted");
              if ((pg.getStatus() & ImageObserver.ABORT) != 0) {
              System.err.println("image fetch aborted or errored");
              return;
              //put into byte array
              byte[] pixels = new byte[img.getWidth(this) * img.getHeight(this)];     
              for(int arrayPointer=0;arrayPointer<pix.length;arrayPointer++){
                   pixels[arrayPointer] = new Integer(pix[arrayPointer]).byteValue();
              //edit pixels not implemented yet
    //assign edited pixels to an image
              img = t.createImage(pixels);
              // Now encode the image using ACME free GIF encoder (www.acme.com)
              try{
                   FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("D:\\result.gif");
                   GifEncoder encoder = new GifEncoder(img, fos);
                   encoder.encode();
                   fos.close();
              }catch(IOException e) {
              System.out.println("FATAL IOException "+e);
    From this i get a single pixel in my output gif file. Is there a way of swapping out the edited pixels with the origonal pixels in the image file? or an alternative way to write back the complete file.
    Thanks a lot

    ive managed to solve it. For those who come across this thread and want to know the solution i needed to use MemoryImageSource with the pixels inorder to pass them to the createImage method :o)

  • Why is the finished DVD so low quality despite having chosen best quality for Pal. Compared to Pro Show Gold its rubbish !

    I am VERY disapointed with the quality of a finished DVD. As a proffesional weddig photographer the program quality is just not proffesional in quality. Compared to Pro Show Gold by Photodex which unfortunately is not available in MAC format. Can anyone offer advice and proove me wrong for deciding on MAC over PC !
    I have chosen the best quality and burnt using Toast 11

  • Distorted video in finished dvd.

    Hello, this is my first dvd I created.
    From premiere I exported a 3min long avi video.
    Aspesct Ratio: 720x576
    Pixel aspect ratio 1,422.
    Copressor: Indeo Video 5.10.
    Interlace: Lower Field First
    In Encore DVD I imported the video as an asset, menu is set to PAL 16:9. All works fine in preview view. But when I play the finished DVD the video looks like the picture in the link below, the menu works fine. But when I try to play the transcoded video in Encore Preview after I completed the burning. I got an error message "abnormal condition". And after that I am not able to import the 3min avi file, I got the error message: Error loading transcode preset.
    You can see the snapshot here:

    Did you try exporting as DV AVI yet? (Also see:

  • Trouble writing Query for Pivoting data from a table

    I am having a little trouble writing a query for converting the below table data into a pivot data. I am trying to write a query for which if I give a single valid report_week date as input it should give me the data for that week and also provide two extra columns, one which gives the data of last week for the same countries and the second column which gives the difference of numbers in both the columns(i.e. COUNT - COUNT_LAST_WEEK).

  • Color Bars Flickering in Finished DVD

    I have been converting my 8mm analog videos using a Pinnacle converter. Using imovie I create movies and then create dvds using idvd. My finished dvds tend to have flickering (rolling) color bars in the movie. These bars are usually horizontal and appear in images which are usually vibriant red and blue (happens in ilife 4 & 5).
    This condition does not appear in imovie, it only appears in the final burned dvd. I don't get the condition when I make movies with DV from my new Sony DV camcorder.
    Any ideas?

    It may not be a feature of your DVD, but of that particular DVD player or TV screen (..if you're watching it on a TV).
    Some players - and TVs - play 'interlaced' video, and others can play 'progressive' video.
    iMovie generally shows video in the format which computer screens show it; that's to say a whole picture at a time, refreshed, say, 75 times a second. 'Interlaced' TV shows pictures refreshed 60 times a second (in the US) or 50 times a second (Europe) ..and each of those pictures has just half the complete picture ..showing odd or even interwoven horizontal sections (lines) of the picture.
    'Progressive scan' devices (players and TVs) collect both those halves, then display all the picture, either 30 times (US) or 25 times (Europe) a second. Some people say that gives a 'sharper' picture, but others find that it 'flickers' slightly, and looks more jerky.
    Sometimes those 'fields' (half-pictures) get reversed, so that movement seems particularly jerky, or 'backwards-jumpy'.
    The characteristic you're seeing - if I understand you correctly - may be incorrect 'interlacing' by the Pinnacle, giving emphasis to the 'wrong' field (..in the US, in NTSC video, it's upper field [half-picture] first; in Europe [PAL video] it should be lower field first.
    You probably wouldn't see any result of this in iMovie, or on a computer screen ..but when seen on a TV it can give this odd 'fringing'.
    Also, anything with vibrant red is difficult to process well in video (..professionals avoid solid reds, and try to 'weaken' them to prevent 'bleed' or other artifacts at the borders between red and other colours).

  • Still photo wavy in finished dvd

    still photos looks wavy, ripple in the finished DVD using Ilife 09. The photo looks good in iDVD. I had used iDVD 08, it had never happen before. Please help!

    There is a > Discussion > iMovie > iMovie HD6 going on into which I entered. I posted the following earlier today. I am the entrant with trhe Japanese doll in red, can't miss it.
    Have you a set prescription that you use when beginning the Burn to Disc from iDVD. That's where my problem is.
    Please read the following and send help soon . . . potis
    "My rendering is from iPhoto to FotoMagico. There the album is assembled with all of FoMo's attributes. I find it very user friendly. The blurring of a photo in iPhoto with the Blur adjustment does blur alright and it my instances I get a perceptible lightening of the image. Useable, but not the original. —Cut to the finish. Beautiful rendering in FoMo, so sent to iDVD the 130 photos and music. Beautiful in iMac playback in iDVD. Cannot complain a wink. Burn disc. Play disc, and there are the jaggies on the two buildings, one a church with lots of green and white marble on the facade, the other the Ponte Vechicco shimmering as in a desert as the zoom moves out. The jaggies appear on any horizontal or vertical shape, especially buildings (as noted elsewhere in this forum).
    My logic says that if the project plays very well in iDVD and wavers in a DVD burnt from iDVD, that the wavies are introduced in the burn process. I tried recording at Slideshow settings of HD 720p as suggested. No help there.
    Another suggestion has been that the digital cameras are ahead of the iMac Dual Core capabilities. I don't know about that. My Pentax SLR does load them in.
    For the moment I am eliminating the two dramatic zooms because they are distracting and waiting for a solution which will have to take form outside of my meager experience.
    Thanks muchas for your reply.

  • Trouble writing PDF out of Framemaker 7.1

    Hello,
    I have an old version of Framemaker, 7.1, and I'm having trouble writing a pdf. Our office is all Windows based. On two machines, when I write the pdf, I can't get it to create crop marks and I lose chucks of text, indents are changed and spacing between paragraphs are changed. On a third machine, I get the pdf to render just fine with the crop marks. The settings we use on all three machines is the same. The problem I have is, the good PC is leaving next week when the owner goes traveling on buisness.
    Can anyone offer me any suggestions, please? Thank you.
    Jeff

    My first suggestion would be to provide us with some more info.  ;-  )
    Your OS, exact version of FM(from Help > About --  the p number),  version of Acrobat, and anything else that seems relevant.
    Or to cut to the chase, you could confirm that you have the highest  patch levels of FM and Acrobat, and if you have XP, that you're also  fully patched there -- including the Microsoft HotFix for PS printers  (such as Acrobat) --  http://support.microsoft.com/?id=952909 -- it applies to all PS printers, including the logical PDF you're  using, and one of the fixes is the missing text you mentioned.
    Cheers,

  • Trouble Writing Large Files to Time Capsule - Windows 7

    Hi
    I'm having some trouble with my Time Capsule. I can access it and read files from it fine. However, I have trouble writing files to it. Small files ( say multiple word docs) write fine. However, with medium size files (say 120 mb) it crashes. I have noticed that no matter how large the file is, it writes up to 10% of the file very quickly but then crashes. It fails with the error message that 'the network location specified is no longer available'. Sometimes, when it crashes, it essentially crashes my Time Capsule network. I.E I am still connected to the internet but I can access the Time Capsule.
    I used to be able to write files (when I was using Vista) no problem. I still have 250gb left.
    What can I do to fix this?
    For details:
    500gb Time Capsule

    anyone know how to help?

  • Judder in finished DVD

    I've had this problem for some time using the old iMovie HD/iDVD/Toast.  Now I'm using the latest iMovie and Yosemite I hoped the problem might have disappeared, but sadly, no.
    My proble is in bad judder
    Movie footage shot using a Camcorder, and 3 different cameras was imported into iMovie and edited.
    From here I tried 2 different methods to encode and produce a finished DVD.
    1st method:
    The finished movie was shared to "File" resulting in a .mov of around 52GB.
    This file was 'imported' into iDVD (which I still have from my pre-Mavericks days) and titles etc added.
    A Disc Image was created using iMovie.
    The disc image was opened and the Video TS folder was dropped onto Toast Titanium.  A DVD was burned at the lowest possible rate.
    2nd method:
    As above, the movie was shared to "File" resulting in the same .mov file.
    This file was dropped into Toast which encoded it (correctly using PAL) and, as above the DVD was burned at a low speed setting.
    In both cases the final DVD when viewed on a new iMac (the one which created the movie) has severe judder on virtually all panning shots and in movies created using Photo To Movie app.
    The same .mov movie viewed using QuickTime is far far  smoother in the above mentioned sequences.
    Can anyone please suggest where the problem may lie?
    Best,
    TonyT

    Thanks - I redid the project - used the DVD/hard drive as the source, checked using GSpot and found that the video did need an interlace change to reverse the field dominance (& did that), but the result still wasn't good, so I tried again & found the best solution was to burn with no interlacing at all.
    Checked the disc on 3 different DVD players & it worked great on all of them! Now I can get back to the old projects that had stalled.
    Appreciate your help.
