Why does iMovie quit constantly when I try to Share with Media Browser? I want to burn this movie!

iMovie quits ALL THE TIME when I try to Share with Media Browser in order to burn the DVD.  Why? What can I do? Is it becasue I bought a refurbished Mac? I burned a DVD from another project only a month ago.

I don't know why it happens, but if you read messages around the iMovie Discussion Group it seems to happen to a lot of people. The easiest way around this is to Share to Media Browser instead of Share to iDVD directly. The Media Browser is a 'holding area' for video you want to use in other iLife Apps (including GarageBand and iDVD). When you Share to Media Browser, choose the Large size. Then let it run until it finishes. Quit iMovie.
Open iDVD. Create a New Project, Select a Theme. Then click on the Media Button. Click on the Movies button below the Media Browser. Your project will now appear under the iMovie star icon just drag that project into the iDVD project window. This should bypass the problem you were having by sharing Directly to iDVD.

  • Why does iTunes quit unexpectedly when I try to play music

    This happened after I recently plugged in my iPhone 4 and was waiting for an upgrade to instal.  Now I can't get iTunes to play music.  It just quits each time.

  • Imovie locks up when I try to share with IDVD

    Any clues as to why it does this? I really want to put this movie onto a dvd.

    Share to iDVD only works if your original footage was AVCHD (or anything that gets converted to Apple Intermediate Codec, like HDV) or DV.
    If your original footage was h.264 or something like that, you should SHARE to the Media Browser and bring the movie into iDVD through the Media Browser there.

  • Imovie crashing when I try to share to media browser or idvd. Help?

    Every time I try to share my iMovie 9 project to the media browser or iDVD or export using Quicktime, the movie seems to load whether it takes 45 minutes or 14 minutes when at the end of the time it shuts down and doesn't complete the job on my 27" iMac.

    What do you mean by "trashing iMovie pref files"?  What are pref files?
    • Delete iMovie pref. file
    iMovie pref. file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named. (one or more of these)
    com.apple.iMovie.plist
    com.apple.iMovie3.plist
    com.apple.iMovie7.plist
    com.apple.iMovie8.plist
    com.apple.iMovie9.plist
    and find
    com.apple.iApps.plist
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    AFTER - Panic halts - or Force HALT - when Mac hangs and needs to be Stopped and re-Started
    • When having to do this - it also introduces small errors on hard disk that can add up to major problems.
    That Why one has to run
    • Repair Permissions - Disk Util too
    • Repair Hard disk - Disk Util tool (but to do this You must start from DVD or external hard disk - can't do brain surgery on one self)

  • Why does installer quit "unexpectedly" when i try to re-install printer software

    lexmark 2500 printer kept claiming to be "offline" so i uninstalled it and when i tried to re-install using the CD I'd used to install the printer when I first bought it the installer kept quitting. any suggestions?

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • Why Does photoshop quit unexpectedly when i try to open a file from my desktop?

    I've always been able to do it previously but today i've had to reinstall all my files and applications (long story) and now for some reason it won't open any files from the desktop.
    It seems to be fine if i open the same file from my documents so it just seems strange.
    If anyone knows why its doing this that would be great

    You mean it crashes?
    We can't tell you why it's crashing without seeing the detailed crash log.
    But first, make sure you have all the updates installed.

  • Why does idisc quit unexpectedly when trying to burn a disk?

    Why does idisc quit unexpectedly when trying to burn a disk?

    Since iDisk is an online service for keeping your data and has nothing to do with burning CDs or DVDs, you must be thinking of something else. What application are you using to burn? the Finder? iTunes? iDVD? Toast? Or something else?
    Is there an error message that appears when this occurs?
    Let us know, we'll keep working with you.

  • My imovie keeps crashing when I try to share to a QT file.

    Does anyone know how to stop the crashing iMovie when I try to Share to a Quicktime File?

    I'm just using the default settings in iMovie. There is only one type of project and when you go to share, I just click on export to quicktime. So, whatever it's defaulted in (just the normal settings). Nothing out of the ordinary. It was working fine for the first couple of projects, then it just started crashing almost everytime.
