Unusual message during burn

I've created many projects in iMovie & iDVD but this is a new one! I have a 3:58 minute project that is being burned to a DL blank. iDVD hangs up just before the burn stage with the message "Retrieving and preparing project". I can't find this message anywhere on the boards. Anyone know what's up?
I have tried:
Deleting the plist file
Restarting (many times)
Save as a disc image (which created a 7.5GB image from the 8GB that iDVD said was the total. I have been successful in burning that image to disc.
I have 95GB free on my system disc and the project is on a 400GB drive with 150GB free.
My G5 has 1GB of memory
Thanks!!!!!!!

I'm wondering if there is a bad clip or something
That's certainly a possibility. I've seen clip gaps cause problems.

Here's what the Help Menu offers:
Exporting a movie to iDVD
Once your movie is ready for viewing, iMovie HD can automatically export it to an iDVD project that you can burn on a DVD. You can then view your DVD on a television using a DVD player or on your computer screen using the Apple DVD Player.
Note: Before you export your movie to iDVD, you can add chapter markers to it so that viewers can quickly review different sections of the movie on DVD. If you've added chapter markers, they are exported with your movie, and you can use them to add scene selection menus to your iDVD project.
Not all computers support iDVD. See your computer's manual to find out if your computer does.
To export your movie to iDVD:
Choose Share > iDVD.
Click the "Share selected clips only" checkbox if you only want to share clips you selected.
Click Share.
iDVD opens and your movie appears in a new project in iDVD.
For more information about using iDVD, choose Help > iDVD Help when iDVD is open.
After you have addressed the above then follow this:

Error message during burning: Error during rendering/encoding

Hello,
I am using iDVD 6.0.2 to create a DVD. I have pictures and videos. The videos are in .ASF format and they are played on Quicktime on my computer.
Anyway, when I go to burn the DVD, it goes through the slideshow fine. But then, once it starts videos, it stops and the following error message shows up:
Encoding Video
Error during rendering/encoding
I am using a Memorex DVD-R (8x, 4.7 GB, 120 min video) dvd. Is there any way possible I can fix this problem? I really need this DVD soon. Thank you so much.

Best Buy and Office Depot carry Verbatim by me. Use only DVD-R, not DVD+R.
My guess is that .ASF file...........
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
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.)

Image Incomplete Message during burning process

HI All,
I have had this problem pop up a few times as of recent. I get an image incomplete during the burn process when running IDVD 6. It has happened on 2 different projects on 2 seperate occassions. I was eventually able to get it to work but am I missing something or doing something wrong?? Thanks for look
Joe

You may need to force quit iDVD (appleoptionesc).
If you do force quit, make sure to run apple's Disk Utility afterwards to repair permissions on your main HD. In fact, I would do it regardless ...might help resolve some issues here.

Error during burning slideshow

I get an error message during encoding using iDVD 7.0 when burning a DVD or when attempting to save as disc image. I've used Apple support and nothing helps. Any ideas?

Thanks much. I changed the theme and it worked fine. Odd thing is that I was using themes in the program and did not create my own. Thanks for responding.

Error message when burning HD with iDVD

When i try to burn a HD movie directly from iMovieHD( v. 5,02) with iDVD( v. 5.0.1), i get an error message code OX8002006D, followed by another:
"Burning Finished.---errors were found during burning process."
and "there was a problem during multiplexing/burning"
and the disk is ejected blank.
With a Standard Definition movie, using the same DVD-R or DVD+R disks(4X) and same procedure, i have no problem. The movie was only about 2 minutes long with about 19 GB available.
Anybody out there who knows what's wrong?

There are a bunch of folders within your home folder, you may want to decide what exactly you want to back up or not.
Besides your personal folders (Desktop, Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures), you may want to decide whether you need to back up the library folder. The library folder generally contains preferences for most of your applications, and also caches and applications support files. These can become really big in some cases (Mine is more than 8GB, will not fit on a dual layer DVD). And the Library>Caches folder contains temporary files that will change from time to time, this might be the cause of your previous error since the shortcut is no longer valid.
Once you chose your files and make sure they will fit on your blank CD/DVD, you can just do what you did before, drag the folders to a Burn folder, make sure you are not running any other apps, so they won't be modifying the files.
There are programs you can use to backup to CD/DVD, Disc burner like Toast will span across several discs if the data does not fit on one. For a more automated solution, Carbon Copy Cloner (http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html) can backup to disc images which you can then burn to discs. I personally don't know a lot backup programs that provide good support for CD/DVDs, so I'll leave this to other folks.
If you are going to backup regularly, I would recommend spending some money on an external drive. You can find quite a few free software for automated backup and saves money and time on burning CD/DVDs. Plus you have the advantage of being able to boot from the external drive should anything bad happened to your internal one.

"Errors Found During Burning Process"

Hi,
Having sucessfully burned AVI movies using iDVD in the past I have started getting errors. iDVD now does the same thing regardless of the movie i'm trying to burn and the media I use.
Having selected Best Quality (due to the film size), the menu rendering works fine, as does the prolonged job of encoding the video. When iDVD gets to the Audi encoding bit, just before it starts to burn the DVD itself, iDVD ejects the disc and states: Errors Found During Burning Process.
Clicking on the arrow to get more info it states: "The recording device reported the hardware error: Tracking servo failure. (0x09, 0x01.)" Bizarrely, the main iDVD progress window states both 'Cleaning Up' and 'Writing Lead-In' and the only way to get out if it is to force quit.
I've read a few posts on here and tried a couple of things such as trashing the plist file and reparing permissions. I also booted up the diagnostic disc to see if it could see a problem with the optical drive. But nothing has solved the problem.
Any ideas?
For reference, I'm running iDVD 5.0.1 on Tiger on a 1.8 G5 iMac with 1GB RAM.
Appreciate any help you can give me.
Neil

Colleagues:
Ran into the same error, # -34506. Definitely frustrating as I was burning a DVD of an iMovie that I'd spent many hours editing. The iMovie is only 30 miniutes in length, so I don't think it's a size issue. iDVD went through each one of it's steps in burn DVD sequence. However, 45 minutes later when processing is finished, the message reads: "Burning Finished, Errors were found during the burning process." Clicked to see the detail: "The error # -34506 was reported." Checked the DVD and nothing was burned!!! The same thing happens when I opt for disk image. No img file is produced. This is especially frustrating as it looks like it all but completed processing.
Does anyone know what Error # -34506 specifically indicates? How do you fix this? Does it only happen in a specific sequence? And, is Apple aware of the problem?
Thanks!

Error found during burning process

I am having a problem burning my iDVD project to disk. I'm using DVD-R disks. The message I get is "Errors found during burning process". The burning process seems to work correctly all the way through until it gets to the last step - "burning".

There are lots of things that can cause problems burning to disk.
I suggest that you save your project as a disk image (an option on the iDVD file menu) and see if that is successful. If it is successful, that would eliminate issues related to iDVD, encoding, and source material. After that, I would look to what brand of DVD you are using (Verbatim, Sony, Fuji, and Hp are oft recommended here), what burn speed (4x or lower is best), whether all iLife programs are up to date, whether you have any 3rd party or Quicktime plug-ins that might be interfering, whether you have sufficient hard disk space to burn (20 Gb is recommended, although 5GB would be absolute minimum).

I got an error message while burning a CD in iTunes - "the attempt to burn a disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error." What does this mean and how do I fix it?

The disk you are using probably has a defect, not uncommon on consumer grade disks. Try another disk or better yet another disk from a different manufacturer or at least a different batch.

Thanks jschaer2000: after starting it once in safe mode, I closed Mozilla and tried several restarts in normal mode. So far, all worked:-)
Thank you very much again.
Still the automatic update process bothers me: it took me several days to discover the reason to the malfunction, since when I removed the problematic version from Add and Remove Programs, I didn't pay attention at first that it was another version, not v26 which I installed from my folder.
In addition, I like to save the installation files before I run new programs and if I didn't have v26 exe file, I couldn't have operated Mozilla at all. Not that it was fun to remove and install again each time v27 didn't react, but it was better than nothing, I still prefer Mozilla over its competition.

Error Message During Vista Install W/ Bootcamp

I crashed my original vista installation, so I am trying to get it up and running again. After deleting the old partition and creating a new one with BCA in Leopard, I get this error message during vista installation
Windows cannot install required files. The file does not exist. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and then restart installation. Error Code: 0x80070005
I thought maybe it was My Vista DVD, so I borrowed a friends, and it did the same thing. This is on a Macbook PRO purchased a little over a month ago.
Please HELP! I need my vista installation up and running for work!

"but when detecting hard drives, nothing shows up in the list."
I don't really understand that statement as without any drives showing up how were you able to even start the install?
At any rate, during your first installment, the one that succeded, do you remember which partition it was that you Formated with the windows installer? When you use Boot Camp to partition and install the windows os, BC sets the volume name to BOOTCAMP. As far as I know this is the one that you must use for your windows os. Before you can install windows though, you must use the windows installer to format it to NTFS <----- the format type depends on a at least a few conditions, the one that I can remember is partition size. I believe 32G and above it HAS to be NTFS. But my point is, if you try and use any other partition that might come up on your list besides the one that BC made for you, it will probably error out (if you even get anywhere at all with it). Do you know FOR SURE that you chose the correct partition to format? This is the only other possibility that I can come up with at the present time.

Error message during cube creation

Hi expert,
System show the following error message during cube creation, please info how to solve this problem. Thanks.
Define the characteristics of the validity table for non-cumulatives
Message no. R7846
Diagnosis
The InfoCube contains non-cumulative values. A validity table is created for these non-cumulative values, in which the time interval is stored, for which the non-cumulative values are valid.
The validity table automatically contains the "most detailed" of the selected time characteristics (if such a one does not exist, it must be defined by the user, meaning transfered into the InfoCube).
Besides the most detailed time characteristic, additional characteristics for the InfoCube can be included in the validity table:
Examples of such characteristics are:
A "plan/actual" indicator, if differing time references exist for plan and actual values (actual values for the current fiscal year, plan values already for the next fiscal year),
the characteristic "plant", if the non-cumulative values are reported per plant, and it can occur that a plant already exists for plant A for a particular time period, but not yet for plant B.
Procedure
Define all additional characteristics that should be contained in the validity table by selecting the characteristics.
In the example above, the characteristics "plan/actual" and "plant" must be selected.
The system automatically generates the validity table according to the definition made. This table is automatically updated when data is loaded.

Hi,
Go to the Extras Tab in the definition of the Cube and there select " Maintain Non-Cumulatives" and there select the Plant check box. You can also check Material but it is not recommended. Now try to activate the cube. I think it will work for you.

I uninstalled because Itunes would not upgrade. Now I can't install. I was able to install an older version, but couldn't access my music because it was an older version, so I uninstalled that and now have nothing. I would appreciate any help.
Thank you.

Glad to read that renaming trick helped to get iTunes installed for you. Your thread here is fine for more questions.
Search your hard drive for your music - it should still be there, but perhaps this fresh install of iTunes just isn't seeing it.
Find music: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
You absolutely do NOT want to sync your iPhone with an empty iTunes library. It will erase everything. Apple only gives you one download and you need to make backups. I hope it is still on your PC! But at least you have it on your iPhone.
I don't think you synced your iPhone with your father's iTunes, or his music would be on it. Have a look in a folder named Previous iTunes Libraries. There might be an iTunes database ITL file in there that you can use.
They have names like "iTunes Library 2009-04-06.itl" which would be from April 6th, 2009.
Press and hold the shift key while starting iTunes, and when prompted, choose the most recent previous library. Does it show most of your music, and can you play some songs in iTunes OK?
