What is "Image Incomplete"

I have been trying to burn a DVD i made in the newest versions of iMovie and created all I needed in iDVD and it does the asset encoding and audio then it pops out the DVD and says "image incomplete".
what causes this? i have iDVD set up for best performance and the movie is under 2 hours.
I have burned thru 3 DVD discs and it does the same thing. it loads the menus and plays the movie until about 30 min left of it and it freezes.
somebody help ASAP. i am trying to make this for my moms birthday!
thanks

jensabelle,
Here's some info on making and using a disk image, in case you need it. Also, Verbatim DVD-R are very reliable recordable DVDs.
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. 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 Nightmare

Recently I've been working on a project and when I try to burn the disc, I get an error message that says, "image incomplete". When I try to save the image I get two error messages. The first says something about, "dual-layer disc image compatibly". I'm not too worried about that one. The next error says,"Errors in project". In the drop down menu of this error is says,
"The following warnings and errors were found during the validation of the current project:
- There appears to be a broken asset in your project. Correct this problem before burning this project.
- There seems to be too much motion menu content in your project. Correct this problem before you continue burning this project."
I checked the "Map" and no errors are shown. The movie is about an one hour and 25 minutes. I have about 59 gigs left on my hard drive. I have tried just about everything to make this work... Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Here's what it looks like...

And here is the biography page (there are 2 more sub menus from this page that look just like this one)

Image incomplete

Hi,
Thanks in advance for any help. This is the first time I have any problems with iDVD burning discs.
I have an 86 minute, 2.6 gb iDVD movie made in iMovie, all 06 versions.
It ejects disc and says "current operation", "image incomplete", after normal burn time. I have burned 100's of discs and have never had this problem. I tried cleaning up permissions, restart, log out and back in, clean cashe, I also freed up some hard drive memory. I have tried both internal and external DVD burners. I forgot about the old and tried method of deleting preferences and did this too, and I am trying a new burn. I did not change anything before this problem happened.

Hi
Did You select an encoding version that can handle > 60 min eg Best (High) Quality.
Do You have minimum 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ?
Has to. iDVD can't use any other as scrap-disk neither can Mac OS.
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem* - General approach when in trouble is as follows:
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
• Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named: com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.

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.
Applications>Utilities>DU

HT201376 How do I go about unlocking a recovery HD? Also I need to know what disk image should I use when trying to restore a failed(erased) disk in DU?

Also I need to know what disk image should I use when trying to restore a failed(erased) disk in DU?

You need to plug it into your computer running iTunes and restore it. Have you tried that? If so, what happened?

Image incomplete error message

I produce a 2 hour DVD every week for stock car racing at Charlotte County Motorsports Park in Florida. I use iMovie & iDVD. This week's DVD is #38. Last year I did 29 2 hour DVDs. No problems in 67 DVDs at all, till now. In the Creating your DVD pane, during the burn process, after it burns the menus, it tells me "image incomplete". No warnings in the Map window, or any problems I can locate in iMovie. It will not read or play in a set-top DVD player, but will play in the Mac. I see all the chapter menus with audio, but, it will not play the chapters or the whole movie.
Please help! I need this DVD for sale Fri night, 11/9/07.
Thanx

Have you recently switched medias by any chance?
If it's the very same media that's always worked perfectly in the past, then please drag and drop the plist for iDvd to the trash and Restart your mac.
com.apple.iDvd.plist
Remember to Repair Permission thereafter.
Also please include as much info on your mac as possible including available HD space on the startup volume (assuming you have not added any ext. devices recently and if so please disconnect them while troubleshooting). Btw use Verbatim / Maxell DVD-R while we troubleshoot this issue. Thereafter you can use whatever you please.
Are you able to make a disc image to the desktop (from the file menu in iDvd)? if so, use apple's DVD Player app to test for proper playback. This will help narrow down the issue to either the media or your mac.
Good luck.

What does image cannot be edited. The original is offline.

I was trying to edit a photo in an album and got an error message in right panel: Image Cannot be Edited; Original is offline. What does that mean?

Is it just one photo, several or all? Check iPhoto's Advanced preference pane to see how it's configured:
If you find you're running a Referenced library the missing originals may be gone for good. You can search for them by name (from the thumbnail) on your hard drive to see if they are misplaced. I'd download and use Find Any File for that as it can search areas that Spotlight can't.
If it's only one or a couple select the thumbnail of one of them and use the File ➙ Show in Finder ➙ Original menu option to take you to where the file should be inside the library. This is just to confirm that it's not there.

.psd images incomplete

When I import images I've worked on in Photoshop Elements 3 into iPhoto, they usually go OK, whether jpegs or .psd. But sometimes a portion of the image turns out black, as if masked. For example if I've desaturated a background, that part imports looking black. I hope I'm explaining this properly.
Thank you for suggestions!
Sarah

Tried to desaturate an image, with text as another layer, and did not get what you're experiencing. However, if you change the mode of the picture from color to grayscale iPhoto will display it like a negative.
Are you aware you can edit a photo with PSE from within iPhoto? Just select PSE as the application to open when you double-click on an photo. Use iPhoto's preferences to do that. The only caveat is you must not change the name or the extension of the file. if you create a layered image from a jpg file requiring a change to the .psd extension you must save it to the desktop and then import from there. Other than that it's seamless.

Burn Failure - Image Incomplete

I'm having trouble burning a DVD. Done this lots of times before with other projects but this is the first DVD made of up entirely photo slideshows rather than movie and slideshow.
The burning proceeds fine until the 'cleaning up' stage, which fails. The disc spews out, an error message telling me that the image is incomplete appears and then nothing happens. I have to force quit.
The DVD works fine, except that the last of three sections doesn't work properly. The menu motion works. The buttons are all there, but they don't do anything. The photos files of these slideshows are on the DVD, but saved with their original titles rather than the changed titles that I have given them (and they still have) in iPhoto.
I've checked the log. Burning finished. I've repaired permissions. I've deleted the iDVD plist and restarted,
Any ideas?

Save as Disk Image worked and revealed the problem with the other method. I can't burn the finished disk image to DVD because it is 8.5GB. Why then does the iDVD status window say that its 3.8GB and attempt to burn it?
I will obviously have to trim the DVD - slit it on to two discs maybe. I have multiple slide shows and have added all the files to the DVD, which obviously causes the problem. All the original photos are included as well, even though I have not selected this option. In addition, all the photo titles have reverted back to the original imported names rather than those I have given the photos in iPhoto, which makes having the files on the DVD less useful as an archive anyway.
Thanks for your help. The saving as a disk image at the burning stage was a new thing to me.

Disk image incomplete import

Hi!I created a Disk image (.dmg file) of a personal DVD. I did it in Disk Utilities. The fact is that, following the instructions in these cases, I double click the .dmg file having iMovie open and the Import Window automatically opens. There I can see the complete clip of 64min. I start the import and, when it finishes it says something like "Import complete. 1 clip 64 min". But when I watch the event....it's only 57 min 03 sec long!!!!!!!!! I don't know why I've lost 7 min!!
What can I do??
Thanks a lot!

Here is a link to my tip for importing from a personal DVD. This way, you could import those final 7 minutes if they are there.

What is image title tag?

I've read about it and don't get it. I see alt field, but
have no idea about images title tags. thanks

I'm afraid you've mistaken me for the person who wrote the
W3C standards.
You have wasted a perfectly good rant.
Had you done a bit of homework you would know that IE's
display of the alt
tag is essentially a bug, not a feature.
I was just responding to your wondering about why DW favored
the alt tag.
Fact remains the alt tag is part of the accessibility
standard, title is
not. Would it be nice if DW made it easy to add? Yes, I think
so. But that
was not the issue.

Regarding my whats app images

Is there a way to tell what folders/images I placed in my trash today? specifically by date of entry into trash?

I inadvertently deleted 6 folders from picasa which also deleted them from my Mac. i have so many items in my trash that I do not know which they were....is there any way to track what items I placed in my trash only on today's date? since I have no clue what they were specifically.

which also deleted them from my Mac.
By the way, the items are not deleted until you empty the trash - which you should do occasionally because they all take up room on your hard drive. I don't know of a way to do exactly what you want - you can try looking at your trash in column view and it will show you the last time you modified or opened a file - that might give you an idea.

What is image dpi after "Reduce Image File Size"

Does anyone know the resulting image dpi after using the "Reduce Image File Size" command in pages? My mother is trying to prepare some things for pre-press, and can't send her document to the printing press, because the pages docs are friggin huge! I'm trying to give her the easiest option for resizing all of the many images in the document, but don't know if this is a viable option if the end product needs to be printed. I need the output to be at least 300dpi.

As fruhulda wrote, asking Pages to apply changes to the pictures isn't the good path.
In fact, it's a perfect way to get a fat file.
My practice is :
Prepare the document in Pages to define the wanted size of every embedded pictures.
Edit the picture files in a tool dedicated to this task so that the resulting files will be 300 dpis ones for the wanted sizes.
Then, replace the original pictures by the definitive ones.
In most cases, the file will be lighter than the original one and you will have the 300 dpis resolution (except if you apply shadows but it's an other story).

What Caused "Image Cannot Be Edited"?

I have 13,000 photos in iPhoto, which I began importing eight years ago (scanning old photos, importing digital photos). I had no problems with my Power Mac G5 and its OS, and the earlier versions of iPhoto. Then I got an iMac, shifted the photos from the G5, and no problems. I continued to introduce into the iMac Apple's new OS and new versions of iPhoto, and no apparent problem. In fact I can document the following with my Mac:
3/11 upgraded to IPhoto '11 (current version 9.4.2)
3/11 upgraded the OS to 10.6.3 Snow Leopard
7/11 upgraded the OS to Lion (current version 10.7.5)
I thought I was doing the right thing by upgrading soon as new OS and new iPhoto came out. Now I'm not so sure.
The past year I have not done any editing of my older photos. I just went to edit some older photos and as I clicked on the photo, then edit, on the right side I get the message, IMAGE CANNOT BE EDITED - This photo was previously edited with another application of with an early version of iPhoto. Duplicate this photo to edit it.
This message applies to my first 10,000 photos. I have spent hundreds of hours editing these photos. The 3,000 photos from July 2009 are OK and can be edited.
So, must I duplicate each of these first 10,000 photos, each in their respective albums, to continue editing them? This will take hundreds of hours more. How in the world can Apple have such a poor transition between one OS and another, or between one IPhoto and another? Has anyone experienced this situation before? Is there a solution to my problem, or am I stuck with duplicating 10,000 photos (and deleting 10,000 photos), album by album, and then reediting them?
FYI, I have a a Mac Mini with iPhoto version 9.2.3 and OS X 10.6.8. It has about 11,000 of these photos on it (I haven't loaded the last 2,000 photos onto it) and it does not demonstrate any of these editing problems.
Your observations and recommendations are recommended.

Hi Larry
Thanks for setting me right on how this forum works. Having now understood why the 'duplicate to edit' situation arises (thank you) I would offer some related advice:
Some photos that 'need duplicating in order to edit' may appear incorrectly rotated in iphoto slide shows.
I came across this problem when I was showing an old iphoto slideshow to friends but some of the slides showed up turned 90 degrees.
In the album and slideshow preview they were correctly orientated. I tried putting them into a new slideshow but they again came out rotated 90 degrees when the slideshow was run.
It turned out that all the ones that had this problem were ones that could not be edited without creating a duplicate first - but simply putting the duplicate into a slideshow resuted in exactly the same problem. I tried rotating the duplicate and then rotating it back to its original position but this did not solve it either.
It seems that in order to get such photos to display the right way up in an iphoto slideshow you need to make an actual edit to the duplicated photo - eg crop it slightly or straighten it a fraction. Or rotate it and force a save, then go back, rotate it back again, and then it will show up fine in the slide show.
You can then rebuild the slideshow using the edited duplicates.
