Why can't I burn a DVD?

Help!  I use PE7 and all is well until I try to burn a DVD. At that point, PE7 announces that a problem has occurred and the software closes.  I have to reboot my computer to open PE7 again.   I use a Dell Dimension 3400 with 2.99 GHz, 1.99 SB RAM.  I have placed PE7 on an external drive with a terabyte of memory; hardly any of it used.

A likely cause of this error is that some program did not report memory usage correctly to the OS.
This ARTICLE will give tips on finding "clues" as to what was happening at that moment. Chances are good that that program, or Process is identified somewhere in the Event Viewer. Now, be prepared to do a bit of reading, but follow EVERY link in any of the error, or warning messages.
Good luck,
Hunt

    Why can't I burn a DVD of photos from my iphotos that will be viewable on a PC using windows?

    Darned if I know. What exactly are you doing?
    The general answer is to select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder (file menu ==> export). In the finder right click on that folder and burn to disk

  • Why can't I burn a dvd disc on my macBook pro ?

    I transferred some video footage to "iMovie' for editing and when I tried to burn it to a dvd disc, there was no option for that operation. All of the choices were to transfer it to You Tube, of facebook.Can I burn a dvd disc on my macBook pro laptop or not?

    If you have a macbook with internal or USB external Superdrive, insert disk, and an option appears for burning files.
    Otherwise drop the movie into a folder and click on the settings button of the folder and choose "burn .......to disk"

  • Why can't I burn in iPhoto 9.5

    Why can't I burn in iPhoto 9.5 this was a great feature that is now gone. The burn feature allowed me to back up with full event sections. Keeping everything organized.  Now all the DVD I burned prior don't show up in the SHARED folder in iphoto 9.5 Mavericks. You have to import blindly.Not Happy!!!!!

    No, you don't import those.  Copy them to the Desktop, run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on the library and open with iPhoto.  If you want any of the photos to be copied into your working library you can use the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager to copy the desired albums or events across.

  • Can Movies be burned to DVD?

    Can movies be burned to DVD in new iTunes 7 ? Thanks

    You see, this is why I was excited about iTunes 7. Until the player comes out, there's no point in buying movies unless you have the space on your ipod (and money) to have multiple copies of the same movie in different formats.
    Same reason why I don't understand UMD on the PSP. A portable DVD player would be just as useful.
    I can burn protected audio files to CD and use elsewhere, why not TV shows and movies?
    I apologize for simply ranting, though I do appreciate that somebody had the answer to this as being no (currently).
    Apple is all about freedom, this seems to be a step in the wrong direction.
    Everything else about iTunes 7 appears amazing. Just highly disappointing, I suppose. I was done buying DVDs at the store if this had been a yes...

  • Why can't I burn a playlist in iTunes ver 11.0.4?

    Why can't I burn a playlist with iTunes ver 11.0.4? I've done almost everything that I know except try the old ver 9.x.x, which nobody can find! Apple is no longer as good as when their mater was alive!!

    Can you explain why it did not help?
    Can you select a playlist?
    Can you right click on a playlist name?
    Does a menu pop up when you right click on a playlist?
    Do you see Burn playlist to disc when you right click on a playlist?
    Are you told to put a disc into the disc drive?

  • Novice here,,, Why can't we export to DVD ? Policy or Technology or ?   thx

    Novice here,,, Why can't we export to DVD ? Policy or Technology or ? thx

    Why can't we export to DVD ?
    Am afraid I don't quite understand your question since we can export and create/author DVDs. If you are asking why iMovie does not do so directly, then yes there is a problem of technology involved. QT is basically a "temporal" synchronization multimedia "engine" while DVDs are based on "spatial" compression and synchronization. Therefore, a different "engine" is required for processing the data -- Compressor alone for advanced compression and DVDSP for advanced authoring or a combined simple compression and authoring application like iDVD. If you are asking if it is possible to combine the capabilities of iMovie and iDVD into a single application, then I suppose it would be possible but probably violate the standing policy of Apple's normal "KISS" (Keep it Simple, Stupid) approach of doing things and likely create a whole new level of problems to add to the current ones already present.

  • After using iDVD, can my iMac burn a DVD ?

    After using iDVD, can my iMac burn a DVD ?
    I mean how do I know whether my disk drive can write/burn DVD ?
    Mine is a 24" iMac bought some 5 months ago.
    Thanks

    Assuming your mac has at least 25 GB's of available hard drive space on the boot volume and an S-Drive as opposed to a combo drive; the latter only reads dvd's while the former both reads and writes to dvd, then you should be able to, yes.
    But follow the iMovie> iDvd Tutorial/s first.

    Hope this helps but if not just come on back. Good luck.

  • I have a new Mac computer that has imovie.  I recently made a movie that i would like to burn to a DVD.  I hear that idvd is no longer being sold.  Is there software on the computer that i can use to burn a dvd or is there a recommended software to use?

    There is no really satisfactory substitute for iDVD to burn video files from iMovie.
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.

  • Why can't I burn a movie to play in a DVD player?

    I made a movie in iMovie well it was more like a slide show I did with pictures and dropped some music in there However when I went to burn the the movie I got a message saying that I only can play this movie in a DVD/DVD rom will not play in a standard DVD player. Then I tried sharing the movie to iDVD but I still can't burn into DVD format for (DVD Player) Why do I have to select new themes in iDVD all I want to do is burn the movie that I created to play in a dvd player.
    Thank You

    This feature creates a duplicate of your project onto
    a CD or DVD ROM. It does not create a video DVD for
    playing in a DVD player. Do you want to continue?
    This is the message that I received in iMovie when I
    went to burn to disc File>Burn to disc
    There are two kinds of DVDs we can create from within iMovie.
    1. A DVD containing iMovie project files as Mac files. This kind of DVD functions a lot like a hard disk. The File > Burn to disk command burns the iMovie project onto the DVD. This project movie cannot be played on a TV.
    Most iMovie projects are too large to fit on a single-sided DVD, which is limited to about 4.6GB of data. One hour of iMovie video requires 12GB of disk space.
    2. A DVD containing files encoded (converted) in the MPEG-2 format, which DVD players know how to play. This type of DVD can be played on a TV. When converting your iMovie project to the MPEG-2 format, iDVD compresses the video and audio so (about) two hours of video can fit on a single-sided DVD.

  • Why can't I burn a movie to me external dvd drive?

    I can share movies digitally to itunes, youtube, cnnreport, and vimeo. But can't burn to my external drive. What am I doing wrong, or is the macbook pro just that way?

    Not if you have iDVD. You haven't said yet whether you do or not. If you do, here's how you can create a DVD from the new iMovie 10:
    In iMovie 10 go to File>Share>File, choose the size (probably should choose either SD or Large) then click Next, give it a name, then click Save (remember where you saved it to).
    Wait until the Activity Indicator shows that the sharing process is complete.
    Go to iDVD. Go to File>Import>Video and select the file you created earlier. It will bring the video into your iDVD project. Prepare you DVD project and when you're ready, click the "Burn" button.
    iDVD is no longer officially supported by Apple, but that doesn't mean you can't still use it. It's still a great option...possibly the best...for burning video DVDs on a Mac.
