Why does my DVD come out before it's done burning?

Please reply before my dad's birthday is over. 

Are you burnding directlhy from iDVD to disk?  Is so once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Next burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Why does my PDF come out rotated when I haven't selected that?

    Why does my PDF come out rotated when I haven't selected that?

    What you are trying to do is a process that we call “refrying a PDF file,” a process that we at Adobe most strongly discourage. There are facilities within Acrobat itself that allow you to remove objects and crop pages without having to ruin the PDF by creating PostScript and then distilling that back into PDF, a potentially very lossy process. You lose all color management, all live transparency, and could have font problems in the resultant PDF file.
    The Adobe PDF PostScript Printer Driver Instance is parameterized by joboptions set in its properties. These properties have a parameter for page rotation. If the options specify automatic page rotation, you may be getting these unexpected results on the basis of Distiller's analysis of each page and trying to second guess the orientation. You should also be aware that the PostScript generated by Acrobat (and Reader) is optimized for printing on a PostScript device, not for generation of PDF by distillation.

  • Why does sound only come out of 1 speaker when I dock my iPod?

    My son's Ipod only plays sound out of I speaker. When I dock the ipod on his ihome radio or my sony radio, sound only comes out of the left speaker. When I put other ipods on the same docks i get sound out of both speakers. It is just this one ipod that won't produce sound out of both speakers, no matter what docking station I use.

    Likely it is a hardware issue for the iPod, you need to bring it for service

  • Why does web printing come out so small

    After selecting from a web page, there's nothing worth printing or saving as PDF, as it's all too small to read.

    What are you using to capture/save the text/images from the web? That software should have options for saving image sizes and font sizes as well.

  • Why Can't Verizon Come out to Help Me?

    I've had FiOS TV for quite some time. When the technician came he quickly ran to the door when I asked him to help me program my DVD player and told me it was not compatible and not his priority.
    Now (almost 3 years later not being able to use my DVD player), I bought a new BLu-Ray and cannot for the life of me figure out how to hook it up.
    I AM WILLING TO PAY FOR VERIZON FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO COME OUT AND HOOK IT UP FOR ME and they refuse and continue to say it is not their responsibiity.
    I don't have any friends who know how to do it and it's going on 3 years + that I've had to use my laptop to watch a DVD.
    Why can't Verizon come out if I pay and hook it up for me????
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Verizon does not install / set up non-Verizon equipment.
    If you are willing to pay to have it configured, then try Geek Squad at Best Buy (but don't expect it to be cheap).

  • Why does my iphone come up with a different email when updating apps?

    why does my iphone come up with a different email when updating apps?
    Everytime I go to update my apps some other persons email or AppleID comes up and I have to cancel.  its annoying enough to have to update all the time but now I have about100 update notifications (don't judge, you probably have a ton of apps too..haha) that are sitting idol, what's up how do I fix?
    thx
    Jackie
    p.s. not updating to iOS6 yet

    I'm sorry Allan, I should have clarified, your answer is improbable (well the first part atleast).
    The apps I have had since the first week of purchase of my iphone back in 2011,  I have not added any apps until 2 months before the last software update.  This starting happening when the new software was implemented but I have not updated to iOS6 yet.  Unless this person was able to hack into my account & transfer them to their account, I do not see how that is possible.
    Prior to seeing this other AppleID, I have a popup to prompt me for my AppleID each time I download content.  Each time I would see mine and enter my password.

  • Why does my graphic drop out as a pdf?

    I created 4 graphics in Illustrator CS3, downloaded them onto a CD cover template and saved as an .ai file which looks fine. When I attempt to then save it as a pdf, one of the graphics drops out. Appreciate your feedback.

    When I click on Windows, 'Links' is not checked off. When I click  on
    'Links' and open the panel, all 4 graphics are listed but there are no  icons to
    the right of these file names.

  • Why does my DVD player say I can change regions 4 times

    why does my DVD player say I can only change regions 4x. I want to play some borrowed discs from my daughter.

    DVD Player: About DVD-Video Regions
    Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
    Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed.
    Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

  • Why do my movies come out sideways when transferred from my iPhone to my PC no matter which way I hold the iPhone when I record?  And how do I fix it?

    Why do my movies come out sideways when I transfer them from my iPhone to my PC, no matter which way I hold my iPhone when I record the video?  How do I fix it?

    Defiled:
    I did sign a two year contract and completed that contract. The 3gs is no longer in service. My daughter is going overseas to protect you and your family. I was attempting to find a way for her to have a reliable phone that could offer her some connection with home as she travels through the middle east.  She travels in missions all over.
    At&T unlocks other phones of theirs why not the iPhone?  AT&T says that Apple will not give them the code, it is not the carrier.  If I would have known this situation would have come up I would have bought and unlocked 3gs phone"Deggie" .  My main complaint is that Apple has not good excuse as to why they will not allow their phones to be unlocked from services well, AT&T .  I bought the phone full price, completed the contract terms, even went for and iPhone 4 with another2 year contract, along with owning an apple computer... I love the product.  My main issue is give me a good answer as to why you won't allow a phone to be unlocked. It doesn't hurt Apple, People still have to buy the phones from them, and use their App store and iTunes.
    Sorry, just upset about my daughter heading over there, boots on the ground, and just pray she will be safe. Would have liked to facetime her while she is in the airports and in specific areas allowed for that.
    Please don't come down on me for asking this question. I understand all the contracts etc.... but to single out the iPhone specifically to not unlock after contract is over does not seem fair.
    Thank you for your responses.

    Note that the update servers are under heavy strain today.

  • Why does my screen come up dark when I press the camera icon?

    Why does my screen come up dark when I press the Camera icon?  I can neither take pictures nor look at the photos I have saved.

    Doulbe tab the home key to see the task bar.  Touch and hold any of those icons until they jiggle, then delete them by touching the minus sign.   Then reboot the pad by holding the sleep and home buttons until the apple logo appears.  Ignore the red slider.
    You either have another app open that is using the camera, or you just have too much stuff in memory.  The reset process should clear it up.
