Unable to use iDVD preview

I have made almost 30 DVD slideshows and always preview them before burning; however, for some reason I am having a problem with the preview.  The menu won't play the music I have added and the slideshows won't start.  I have never had this problem before.

    Did you use iMovie or FCP to edit the video? if it's the latter, there is no field dominance tab in FCP however you change it thru your sequence, ctrl+ click your sequence in the browser and then choose settings.
    Change your field dominance there.... like this:
    if on the other hand you used FCExpress and not FCP, then add the following video effect filter:
    Effects -> Video Filter -> Video -> Shift fields

  • When I try to use iDVD to create a disk of my 4:3 aspect movie, the themes show a widescreen preview. I want the aspect to remain 4:3! Help please.

    When I try to use iDVD to create a disk of my 4:3 aspect Quicktime movie (made on Final Cut Pro), the iDVD seems to change its aspect to 16:9, because in the corner of the theme screen, I see "Widescreen preview". Does this mean that if I complete and save my project and burn it to disk that the aspect will also be 16:9? I do not want the circles to look like ovals!

    BTW
    Did You turn on TV-Safe area. Pict in Swedish but I guess that You figure it out.
    to be like this
    I do - and keep this ON till Save as a DiskImage is done. (I always do one first to see that all is right - before burning the DVD - it saves so many)

  • Unable to use 'copy' feature with registered version of quicktime pro.

    Hi.
    I have a registered version of Quicktime pro (7.1.6), and i am unable to use the copy feature. I captured several videos from work using a windows box and an application whose name escapes me at the moment. Due to the windows app being garbage, i was only able to capture in MPEG1 format (MPEG2 caused the app to crash, of course). I have brought the files home and am now unable to copy selections of it for exporting into smaller files. I can highlight lengths of the video (no audio, just video) but the 'copy' feature is grayed out still. Any ideas on what is causing this? The video format is as follows:
    MPEG1 Muxed, 640 x 480
    FPS: 29.97
    Data rate: 4066.42 kbits/sec
    I'm running 10.3.9, but have also had no success on a 10.4 macmini, so the OS doesn't seem to be the issue.
    I'm trying to get this video into imovie, but since it's over 600 megs, imovie cops out after a few hours and says it can't import it.
    Help?

    Not all multiplexed videos come with AC3. They don't have to have audio in the first place. Some of them come with Linear PCM, which is the case for iDVD's VOB files, and MP2. If a multiplexed video is equipped with AC3, you are right, and the resulting modified sub-clip won't contain audio. But if it's Linear PCM or MP2, the edited sub-clip will contain audio.
    I'm finished with this case.

    Hi,
    Go to NACE transaction , from there choose the V1 application,now click on Output types. now see the Output types for print related.
    Now use them for your preview.
    you need to provide Output type  to view the preview
    May be you are missing some configuration(in your case Order type may be Z* so it requires Some Config ).

  • IDVD burns wrong music but iDVD preview plays correct music

    I'm creating my second DVD-based slide show by exporting the slide show from iPhoto to iDVD. (Am using iDVD version 5.0.1.)
    When I preview in iDVD the correct music from my iTunes plays. After I use iDVD to burn a DVD image and then try to test that via the DVDPlayer, the music from my first iDVD-created slide show plays instead. (I've also burned an image to DVD and played on a hardware DVD player with same problem resulting.)
    Of course I have no idea how iDVD is getting so confused on this matter.
    Is this a known bug? Does anybody know what is happening here?

    For what it is worth, I am having a similar problem and have spent coutless hours to resolve. No Solution Yet. When formaing a Playlist from iTunes everything plays as it should. When the playlist is selected for a iPhoto slideshow, music plays as it should.
    When exporting or going to iDVD as a slideshow, Theme music can be selected and it plays correctly. Audio is selected in the custom slide window for the playlist. The goal is to have music play during an entire iDVD slide show. I have never been able to have more that the first iTune on the playlist play music. I have contacted Apple many times on this issue and no one can solve it. Looping makes no difference, re-installing all of the iLite software does not help, nor anything else. I even installed Roxio to see if exporting iPhoto with a playlist would make it ok and it does not. Roxio is removed.
    The only way I know, so far, to make this all work is to select a iTune that will last through the entire iDVD. I believe that there is a serious bug here as no one at Apple has a answer either (after numerous calls) so the problem is still there.
    Does anyone have a solution? Thanks.

  • Movie distortion when burned using iDVD 6

    Hello,
    I am creating a movie with iMovie 6 and when I tried to preview a 'work in progress' version on my TV by burning a DVD using iDVD 6 there is a problem. What happens is whenever there is rapid movement of a subject, eg an arm movement, the subject (arm) becomes distorted and 'lined instead of it's normal solid, smooth shape. There is also a slight reduction in clarity in the picture in general. I have made movies before (albeit with earlier versions of iMovie and iDVD on OS X 10.3.9 iMac) and burned them to DVD without any problem.
    Can anyone help please?
    Thanks
    Dan

    I am also having problems with the image quality of the DVDs burned from iDVD. Are there no "experts" or moderators on these forums to respond to this issue
    There are several experts here with knowledge about iDVD and creating DVDs, but we find it impossible to respond to general 'rants'. You will find MANY message threads here in which we have helped people who came here with specific problems.
    Saying "I am also having problems with the image quality of the DVDs burned from iDVD" tells us NOTHING. What is the source of your video content? How long is the video content in minutes? What format (CODEC) is it in? ... the list can go on.
    NTSC DVDs are low resolution devices (less than 640x480 pixels - that's 0.3 megapixels) and may be heavily mpg-2 compressed. They are designed for viewing on TV sets and not full screen on computer monitors.
    Are there no "experts" or moderators on these forums to respond to this issue?
    ... and what did you expect us to say?

  • Audio breaks up in iDVD preview/will not encode in burn

    One of the folks in the iDVD group suggested I try here....This is the first iDVD5 project I'm trying to burn (of the first movie I've done in iMovieHD). All is well until I preview in iDVD then the audio/music track make a similar sort of broken up sound to what you would get if playing a CD on a portable player with your battery about to die. I used 2 songs - one purchased from iTunes store, one taken from a purchased CD. Both songs are a mess. Thought the problem might be in previewing iDVD project so went ahead and tried to burn a DVD. It couldn't encode the audio. Could the iTunes song be the culprit? Has anyone else experienced this broken audio and were you able to fix it? Thanks for any help you can offer.

    I had similar experiences and discovered a couple things. They may sound crazy, but they worked for me:
    Which of the two timelines are you using for your audio tracks in iMovie? I once used the bottom one only, and had errors with audio encoding every time. I moved the songs to the upper audio timeline and voila! It encoded and burned perfectly. Go figure!
    I also fiddled around with "Best Quality" and "Best Performance" in iDVD. When I select "Best Quality" with a short movie, I get audio encoding errors every time. If I select "Best Performance" it encodes and burns perfect.
    I'm not sure why either of these two things should matter, but for me they cause audio breakup in iDVD preview and then audio encoding errors...even though they play fine in iMovie and even exporting to QT as you also have...maybe one of these is causing your problem as well. Good luck!

    this is no adobe specific error, it's from your application. You've some entries in your customizing so that specific texts are expected by the form.
    go to the context, search your text there and check wheter the checkbox "no error when text is missing" is activated or not...
    if the textbox is not activated but the text is missing --> thats the behaviour you have

  • Content appears in iDVD preview but not on burned disc

    Hi there,
    I am using a MacBook running Leopard.
    I have burned 2 other DVDs using iDVD and havent had this particular issue. I put 5 videos on a DVD. I preview the videos before burning the disc to be sure they appear and are linked to the right button, etc etc. All looks fine. When I select that video to play on my DVD player after I have burned the DVD, I get nothing. Just the Sony DVD brand screen. I have cleaned the disc but it still isnt playing at all. It is almost as if there is nothing there. But it shows up just fine in preview before I burn the disc.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Does the finished iDVD play on your mac but not on your home DVD player?
    If this is the case, please try a variety of DVD Players at a store that sells these set tops to find out if this happens on most units or not.
    Also you say,
    I get nothing. Just the Sony DVD brand screen.
    Are you referring to the media / DVD Brand or the default screen on a sony set top player?
    if it's the latter, try adjusting the inputs and outputs on the set top dvd player thru your remote control.
    Lastly, are you using Verbatim / Maxell DVD-R media or some other media?

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

    Reduce your burn speed to 1/2 the Rating of the Media.
    Disc Burner
    If more than one supported disc burner is connected to your computer, choose one from the menu.
    Preferred Speed
    When you burn a CD, iTunes automatically uses the best recording speed for the CD. However, if your blank CD is rated for a slower speed than the maximum speed of your drive, or if you experience problems creating CDs, you may want to change the recording speed to match the CD’s rating.
    Disc Format
    Choose the type of disc you want to burn: Audio CD; MP3 CD; or Data CD or DVD.
    Gap Between Songs
    Choose the amount of silence, if any, between songs.
    Use Sound Check
    To have all songs on the disc play at the same volume, select this option.
    Include CD Text
    To include information that CD players in some vehicles can display, select this option.

  • IDVD Preview problem

    I am trying to create an iDVD project using 6.0 Themes. I have imported the media into the project and can see the video playing in the preview menu but when I click on the video to view it the iDVD preview it is blank. When I try to create a DVD (burn it) the program hangs and I have to use force quit. The media I am using is an .avi with XVID compression. I downloaded the Xvid codec and placed it in the library/quicktime folder so that the media is viewable with quicktime. Is there another location that I am supposed to place the Xvid codec to make the media viewable with iDVD preview? Any other suggestions? Thanks!

    +But why would they work on one computer and not the other.+
    Same OS on both?
    AVIs can contain all sorts of stuff...

  • My 16:9 project looks like 4:3 in the iDVD preview

    Aspect Ratio is definitely set to widescreen 16:9 in Project Info, but it doesnt seem to affect the dimensions of the actual film when i double click to preview it.  What it seems to change when i toggle back and forth between 4:3 and 16:9 is how the the theme graphics for the menu fit into the preview box.  The thumbnail of the film looks letter box, but as soon as I double click to play it, it goes to 4:3.  Can I expect it to burn to disc looking 4:3 if that is the way it looks in the preview, or is that just a quirk of iDVD preview?
    Also:  I've been having terrible problems tonight with the preview film flickering bright orange.  Even though i know nothing at all is wrong with the .mov file that I imported.  I thought I resolved it by switching themes, but now it's coming back.  I've also noticed the orange flickering coming up when i have alot of things open and have been running the computer for a while, it will happen when i try to do some other task on the computer while i am previewing.  Anyone else have such problems with iDVD?
    Thank you to anyone who can help.
    Paul

    I think the fundamental problem is that unfortunately, I did all of the work to put my film together on a sequence that had the wrong settings-- SD settings (Frame size 720x480), when in fact I needed to use HD settings to match what  I actually shot in (1440x1080).  I finally have overcome the problem by exporting the sequence using Quicktime conversion and customizing the settings for my HD clip properties.  This is giving me a 16:9 in iDVD preview.
    My concern is that my project now is based on a timeline that was created in a sequence with SD settings and that maybe I have lost some resolution quality.  I am sitting here looking at the iDVD preview and I am not always sure it looks as sharp as the same clip viewed in FCE dropped in a sequence with the right settings.  But maybe iDVD preview isn't as sharp, or maybe it's just my imagination.  Any thoughts?
    Ideally, what I would like to do is to copy my timeline out of the first sequence with the wrong settings, and to copy it into a new sequence with the proper settings.  But I am wondering if that timeline is now "infected" with the wrong settings, and brings these over to the new sequence.  The guy on the Apple help line told me this was unfortunately the case.  Am I really going to have to completely do this work over again to get a completely correct workflow?
    Any way around this?
