Unable to burn AUDIO to DVD or Disk image, video is fine

As many other posts have stated; I am unable to burn the Audio portion of an iDVD nor does "save as disk image" transfer the audio of my iDVD. Transferred an iMovie, (an iPhoto set of photos with iTunes audio imported into iMovie) to iDVD. Audio plays on iMovie, audio plays on iDVD preview. Tried removing recommended ~com.apple.iXXX.plist, no help. Tried different encoding methods: i.e. Best/High/Professional. Tried saving to different sizes HD/Large/etc. Tried Share Media in iTunes, Media Browser, etc. Checked Main Audio, volume slider bar in iDVD. Tried importing audio into iDVD rather than transferring from iMovie. It doesn't seem to matter how I build the iDVD it works, until I go to Save As Disk Image or Burn DVD. Video works great (better in Large than HD) Audio doesn't transfer.
21 total minutes, 1.15GB of final iDVD using a default theme.

Hi
(an iPhoto set of photos with iTunes audio imported into iMovie) to iDVD
Yes this is the problem - in iTunes there is a copy-protection that moves over
Result
• Plays well in iMovie
• Plays well in iDVD preview
• Silent on DVD
Only way around this is to in iTunes collect needed audio into a play-list
Burn this out as an Audio-CD and .aiff (NOT .mp3)
Use the audio on this CD in Your iMovie project.

Is it possible to boot from a shared dvd or disk image remotely

Is it possible to boot from a shared dvd or disk image remotely without using netboot for install or utility?

All Apple Remote Desktop can do is point a system to a startup disk; it has no facility for providing a boot image. So you may want to ask this question in the Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server forums. You'll be more likely to get suggestions there, though other than NetBoot I know of no way to boot a group of computers from a single disk image or DVD.

Unable to burn an HD DVD in HD.264 format

When I attempt to burn a DVD with an H.264 10.3Mbps file using DVD Studio Pro I get the following message: "VIDEO_TS folder found in Build Location ....The Build Location folder contains a VIDEO_TS folder(standard DVD content). You must remove the VIDEO_TS folder from the Build Location in order to proceed with Build/Format of a HD DVD project." The H.264 file includes both video and audio, and is a Quicktime movie. If this doesn't work, is there an HD selection in compressor that will allow a 1080i video suitable for DVD? I'm unable to find a VIDEO_TS folder linked to this video anywhere on my hard drive.

Well, you first need to know that an HD DVD will only play on one of three things: 1) A Mac with a Superdrive. 2) A Toshiba HD DVD player...but those have been discontinued as they lost the battle to BluRay. 3) An XBOX 360.
It won't play on regular DVD players...nor BluRay players. If you want a DVD to play on a regular DVD player, you need to use the DVD BEST QUALITY presets...and know that it'll be standard definition, not high definition. If you want BluRay...you need to get BluRay authoring software, and a BluRay burner.
You can use Compressor to author a BluRay playable disc...it just needs to be under 30-40 min...

No audio on finished DVD or disk image after upgrade to QuickTime 7.1.3

I have iDVD 6.0.2. I routinely burn iMovie output to a DVD a couple of times a week. Yesterday I was getting ready to burn a DVD and got a software update alert for QuickTime. I installed 7.1.3. The DVD I burned after that update doesn't have audio. I deleted the encoding and made a disk image. No audio on that either. Until the QT update I had never had any problem burning DVDs. The iMovie output plays fine in iMovie and iDVD. The only plugin in my libraries is AppleIntermediateCodec.Component (v1.1).
Thanks for any help!
MacMini G4 1.42 ghz 512mb Superdrive Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I also had an audio problem with a iDVD6 for project I was working on last week (I have latest QT update). I added 2 different iMovie projects into iDVD6 Dual Layer project using submenu pages. Total size from Project Info was close to 7.7 GB limit using 'Best Performance' option. I selected 'Best Quality' option and it showed over 4 GB. I used this option and saved a disc image of this project. After done, I relooked at DVD size from Project Info and it now showed close to 7.7 GB. When I opened image file with DVD player, first movie played fine with audio. The second movie had video, but no audio.
After skimming some of the posts in this discussion group, I found one suggesting that if audio problem occurs, export your iMovie project with transitions, etc, as full quality DV, then bring back in as new iMovie project and re-establish chapter markers. I did this for the second movie only, and readded to original iDVD6 project. After recreating a disk image, I opened in DVD player and the video and audio was fine for both movies. Burned disk worked fine too.
Sooo ... if you have no audio problem with your iDVD6 project, if you recreate your iMovie project using procedure above and bring it back into iDVD6 project, maybe ... the audio might be there. At least it worked once for me.
If this trick works for anyone else, please post here for all to read.

My burned audio CD/DVD from iTunes doesn't play on a CD/DVD audio player

If I burn audio CD or DVD from my iTunes, I cannot play this music on an external player. Any recommendations? Thanks

Hi I just burned an MP3 CD straight from iTunes, and it doesn't play on any MP3 CD player I've tried it on (car MP3 deck, DVD player that plays audio CDs, and MP3s). Audio CDs burned from iTunes work fine though.
I've read somewhere, that when burning MP3 CDs from iTunes, iTunes burns it with Apples standard format, rather than CD players standard format of ISO 9660. And that is the reason why burned MP3 CDs from iTunes only plays on a Mac.
A work around I've done was select all the songs from my list duplicate them in another folder, and then reconvert them in MP3s (so that I don't have to search all over the place for each MP3 file). I then burned these MP3s onto a CD-R using toast's MP3 CD format. And it works on all my MP3 CD players. However, in doing this process, I've lost all the tags for each MP3. The only thing that comes up in the display is the name of the song. Artist, Album, etc... don't show up anymore.
Is there a way of burning an MP3 CD that will play on all MP3 enabled players, while keeping all ID Tags intact, in iTunes?
Thanks.

Unable to burn a DL DVD with iDVD 5.0.1 (626)!!!

Hello all!
Twice today I encountered the following issue.
6.5 GB long iDVD project, intended to be burned on a DL-DVD (Memorex Double Layer DVD+R, 8.5 GB, 2.4X) with my iMac G5 20", 2GB RAM, more than 160 GB remaining on hard disk; this computer normally burns DL-DVDs on DVD+R, as written in the user manual.
Okay, I let the software encode the project, meanwhile have a walk and when I'm back, the disk is ejected, and iDVD hung with a window telling the "recording is finished", still "thermometer", and a useless "Cancel" button; the rolling color wheel is also here. Force quit shows that iDVD doesn't respond.
And the ejected disk remains blank! So I guess iDVD hung after encoding, and didn't burn.
The project doesn't need any resources located on another CD or DVD.
I disabled all other apps to gain resource space, but no way.
I read it was a bad idea to burn from a disk image, because Disk Utility doesn't manage DL-DVDs...
Did I miss something?
Thanx a lot!

Memorex Double Layer DVD+R, 8.5 GB, 2.4X
I would suggest Verbatim DVD+R DL. Memorex single-layer has a bad track record here...
I read it was a bad idea to burn from a disk image, because Disk Utility doesn't manage DL-DVDs...
I don't think that's true. Try it. I've used Toast 6 with a disk image from DVD Studio Pro. That worked fine.

Cannot burn a blank DVD+RW disk

Since I installed Mountain Lion, this is the first time I am trying to burn data to a TDK DVD+RW disk. When I put the blank disk into the computer, the Disk Utility window opens showing the SuperDrive. It has to items: 1 Choose how to erase it and 2 Click Erase. Then I have to make the choice between earasing the data on disk Quickly or Completely. Since it is a blank disk, I chose Quickly. Once this finished, nothing else happened. In fact, no disk icon appeared on the Desktop at any time.
I would hope that I would not have to erase completely every time I used a blank disk, since that takes an hour.
There is nothing in the Disk Utility Preferences that apply to the disk.
The mac will recognize a DVD+RW I created with Snow Leopard OS.
Any suggestions to help me with this problem. My warranty has run out on the computer, so I can't call Apple.

If you are using the correct format, then maybe you
do need a third party utility like Roxio Toast which
has offered multisession burning since before Disk
Utility.
Except that Toast does not support multisession DVD -- only CD. There's an article on Roxio's support site that explains the reason for not supporting multisession DVD: there is no standard for it. All the software that can burn multisession DVDs do it in a way that is not standards-based.

IDVD will not burn a DVD - just disk image - why not?

I did a short iMovie project (just about 6 or 7 minutes of video); used a theme, added background music from my iTunes collection-- OK all fine; exported via "Share" to iDVD (all this is iLife'09 and Leopard 10.5.6 on a MacBook May 2006).
I did a DISK IMAGE but then also wanted to test to burn a real DVD. That got to to final step then hung- said one minute to go, then ejected the DVD - but nothing was on the DVD.
Later I used DISK UTILITY to burn the disk image to a DVD- and that DVD played fine on my Mac and even on my 7 year old DVD player.
OK so my MB DVD burner is working; the iDVD makes a valid Disk Image-- but why can't I go directly from iDVD to a DVD?
Thanks for any comments here -- I believe there has been a bit of discussion on this, but not sure if others are able to make a DISK IMAGE and then (if then) burn a DVD as I have. But I'm still not able to do this directly from iDVD.

Hi Beverly, I am using the imovie 09 version with iDVD 09. I didn't do any more editing after sharing the project to iDVD from within imovie. I get no error messages at all, that's the strange thing. It acts like it is encoding fine. But, when you watch the finished product, either a disc image or a burned dvd, it is garbled up from about halfway thru to the end. I even tried to have idvd save the project as a disc image and then used Toast 9 to burn it, and it is the same way, messed up. Just to be sure it wasn't the imovie 09 doing it, I took the same imovie 09 project, put it in Toast 9, and let Toast save it as a disc image, and it was fine. And I burned it with toast and the dvd played fine. I then tried to share the same project again, from imovie 09, to idvd 09, and save to disc image, and or burn it to dvd and again, it messes it up badly. This is a brand new imac bought from the apple store locally. I really can't understand why idvd 09 is this bad? It doesn't make any sense. I've eliminated imovie 09 as the problem. Like I said before, I have a lot of experience using the previous versions of imovie 6, and idvd 6 on a powerbook G4, without any problems? Oh, and I did get the menu sound to work, but not the method listed here. I tried all of those listed, without success. I found that if you keep dragging out the menu sound, and replace it with a new mp3, and drag it out, it finally works. I did this about 6 times. Then, all of a sudden it worked. Makes no sense at all. I never did see the little wave sound thing he talked about. It works now, but the wave isn't there? If there is a way to just remove idvd 09, and replace it with idvd 6.04, I'll do that. Is this possible?

Unable to burn Dual Layer DVD's with Toast

Hi all,
I'm having issues trying to burn dual layer dvd's with either Toast 10.0.8 or 11.0.1. I keep getting the Interface -50 error and sense key 0x02 error saying media is incompatible.
I have tried dvd's by DataWrite and Elite M and they both show error. It's strange though as I have been using previously purchased Elite M dual layer dvd's of the same spec as these newly purchased ones, and they worked fine!
My dvd drive is a standard OPTIARC AD-7170 that came with the Mac Pro as spec'd.
I am able to burn single layer fine, and dual layers are read. I'm just unable to write dual layer at the moment.
Any ideas? I'm stuck on what to do and what manufacturer's dual layer dvd's will work with this drive. It can just do +R DL.
Could it be I've been unlucky to have had 4 bad batches? I brought 2 x 2 (25 disc) tubs of DataWrite and same by 50 disc tubs Elite M.
Please help.
Thanks,
Ash
P.s. I have tried creating a new admin user account to see if I am able to burn under that. I get the same errors.
P.p.s. "Hopefully" this is just a media issue and I can find some that works again. If not and it is a drive fault what can I do? What writers spec'd same are available internal for my Mac Pro?

If think you may be using the wrong speed-range media for that drive's capabilities. As I mentioned, there are two ranges, and 8X media cannot be written in a 2.4x (sometimes referred to as 4x) drive.
When you get an error message that actually tells you something concrete, you should listen to it:
CANNOT WRITE MEDIUM - INCOMPATIBLE FORMAT
... is pretty unambiguous. It's a problem with the Media.
Off-Brand media is the next weak link in the chain. One of their many problems is that they vary wildly from batch to batch. Verbatim media are thought to be the "gold standard". Get a small number of Verbatim Media and see if you can make ONE master on the best in the market. If you can, the problem is in the Media. If you can NOT, the problem is in the process.
Like I mentioned I have never had issue with Elite M before, and I always set Toast to burn "Best" under the recorder settings.

Detailed instructions on how to create multi-session CD-Rs can be found here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=160588
It should work on CD-RWs as well.
It is not possible to create multi-session DVDs when using minus media: There is no standard for that.
Creating multi-session DVDs on plus media will work, but it requires additional software (The only one I'm aware of is DragonBurn, Toast can't do the trick afaik).

Burning iPhoto albums to a disk image ? (not to a CD or DVD...)

Hello,
The built-in burn function in iPhoto is great because it keeps all metadata, ratings, etc., on the discs.
But can iPhoto burn to a disk image (.dmg file) instead of burning to a CD or DVD?
In other words, is there a trick or some software to "redirect" all the data to a disk image?
Thanks in advance for any answer!

Hi,
I understand what you're asking and have not found a way to do it. However here are a couple of workarounds depending on what you would like to accomplish.
If you want to export images so that someone else can view them (e.g., without iPhoto), then:
1. Create a disk image and mount it
2. Use iPhoto's export command and point to the image.
If you want to export a "piece of your iPhoto library" complete with metadata, originals, keywords, events, etc.:
1. Create a disk image and mount it
2. Buy iPhoto Library Manager for $20: http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/
3. Create a new iPhoto library on the disk image
4. Within IPLM, copy the photos you want to "export" from your main iPhoto library to the new one on the disk image. Note that when you're done, the image will contain a single package (i.e., looks like a file in Finder) that's an iPhoto library with only the pictures you selected. iPhoto should be able to open this... (Double-check what I'm saying first, though, using the free trial of IPLM.)
Good luck,
Mike
It's not a perfect solution, but there are several

Burning Dual Layer DVD in Disk Utility vs. Burn Folder

Using Disk Utility, I created an Image, (File > New Image from Folder), The resulting .dmg file was about 8.3 Gigabytes. Still in Disk Utility, I select the volume (Filename.dmg) and click Burn, insert a dual layer disk and get a "Disk does not have enough free space" message. I create another image of the same folder, but select "Compressed", giving a folder size of about 6.2 Gigabytes. I try to burn this but again get the "not enough free space" message.
Now I try creating a Burn Folder, put the 6.2 gb Filename.dmg in the folder and select Burn, It burns fine.
Why does the Burn Folder method work and not Disk Utility? What am I missing?
I would appreciate any insight.
Geoff

Hi James:
When you try to copy the dual-layer you may encounter problems because the layer-break may not be where you think it should be.
When you try to copy the actual dual Layer DVD, iDVD will inform you that doing so may result in a disc that has playback problems in DVD players. It states that you are better off burning it with iDVD than from a Disk Utility.
3rd party software that will help would be Roxio's Toast 6, 7 or Popcorn.

Pre12 – unable to burn AVCHD to DVD media

I'm using Pre 12 with Windows 8, editing AVCHD video, and want to burn AVCHD to DVD disk media (to play on a Blu-ray player). However, whenever I try Pre12 shows “media not present” as status, despite having a blank DVD in the drive. But, simply changing from AVCHD to DVD works fine.
Some background: I’ve been a Premiere Elements user since V1 and after purchasing a HD camera several years ago I’ve burned many short HD videos on DVD media s using Pre 10 and 11 AVCHD format option. However, that was before converting to a new computer and installing Pre12.
My new computer is a Dell XPS 8700, Win dows 8 64 bit, with an internal Blu-ray Combo Drive (Reads BD and Writes to DVD/CD). The drive shows in Windows Devices as “HL-DT-ST DVDRWBD CH20N”. It claims to read and write DVD media in either the plus or minus types. I’ve been using TDK single side DVD + media. I've reported the problem to Dell Technical Support without success.
So, I don’t know if the problem is with my hardware, media, or a bug in Pre12, and would greatly appreciate advice.
Thanks in advance

1. Yes, HD or SD video will burn (in DVD format) to DVD media on either internal or external optical drive. The reinstall of Pre 12.0 solved that problem.
2. There was no change to results when attempting to burn AVCHD to DVD media. The internal optical drive continues to show "media not present", while the external drive shows "ready"
3. There was no change to results when burning to Blu-ray which continutes to operate correctly - the external drive shows "ready" (and burns are still successful). Note that the internal drive can only write DVD media so isn't shown by Pre 12 for this task.
Below is revised table of results:
