Why does my dvd stop burning ?

I am trying to create a slide show using I dvd.  I imported my IMOVIE to IDVD and go to burn it.. Then it goes half way through and stops with four minutes remaining and then pops out while it says WRITING LEAD IN.. What am I doing wrong?

Hi
A. iDVD cares about duration/time only. This is two parts - Movie time + Menu time. Menu can take 15 minutes or more from total duration. Gbs and Mbs is of no interest at all - I've movies on 500Mb that are to large to fit and on 50Gb that fit's nicely. Only time counts.
B. Brand of DVD matters - Memorex a known problem maker - I use Verbatim (more organic dye in them)
C. Type of DVD matters - +/-RW usually fails - I use DVD-R as they play on more even older DVD-Players
D. Burn Speed - matters - I use x2 or x4 ==> Less Burn Errors - Plays on more Players and better.
E. Material used matters - What video codec and what audio file format and photo file formats was included in Your product ?
I use
• Video - StreamingDV .dv
• Audio - only .aiff 44.1kHz or 48kHz - NO .mp3 .vma etc
• Photo - only .jpg - NO .bmp (goes red)

  • Why does iDVD '11 stop burning 2 minutes early?

    I am supposed to be burning several DVD's to turn into my employer.  I am using iDVD '11 and burning onto Philips DVD-R's.  However, I have a reoccurring problem where the DVD will eject 2 minutes early and the file isn't burned on it completely.  What could be my problem?

    Hi
    A. iDVD is very particular to DVD Brand used.
    Memorex, Noname and other Cheap brands usually DO NOT Work as Video-DVDs
    Philips - I don't know (but doubt)
    I only use - Verbatim DVD-R
    B. I now and then use a Cleaning DVD - with brushes - NO Liquid !
    C. I split process into two parts
    • Encoding part
    • Burning part
    first by Save as a DiskImage
    then burn this with Apple Disk Util tool or Roxio Toast™
    D. I always set's down burn speed to x4 or x2 (IMPORTANT)
    E. I never let the free space on the START-UP Mac OS Hard Disk go less than 25Gb - ever
    (other hard disks of NO interest as space only is needed here and can not be used elsewhere)

  • While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.

    Might be corrupted preferences (.plist)
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.image_Capture.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.image_Capture.plist file to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac and your scanner and try scanning an image.

  • HT5007 Why does this app stop at about 10 seconds into a selected trailer then resume on it's own?

    Why does this app stop and resume?

    I believe the OP is asking about the Apple iTunes Movies Trailer app, so it is an Apple app.
    I think maybe the video playback catches up with the download and until the download resumes, the video is stopping. Just a guess at this point.

  • Why does my MacBook stop working when I tr to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing?

    Why does my MacBook stop working when I try to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing? This is the second time I have had it happen to my MacBook. The computer just shuts down and cannot be restarted. When I plug it into the charger I get a faint Green light where it plugs into the MacBook. When I took the computer into my local Mac store last time this happened (Nov 2012) they reckoned they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Has any body else encountered a similar issue?

    That would be a filter, yes. Didn't know Verizon handed out phone/DSL wall split filters. I would honestly take a look at the physical jack it is connected to for corrosion or lose connections as I doubt the filter is bad out of the box. Anyways, what was the original problem you had with the Phone and DSL that prompted Verizon to send out a filter?

  • Why does AirPort Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?

    Why does Airport Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?  The USB drive has its own power supply.  I've tried isolating the hard drive from Airport using a powered USB hub to no avail.

    The USB port on the AirPort Extreme is borderline as far as its ability to supply adequate power to a hard drive. Another way of saying the same thing is that this is not a high power USB port, like you would find on a computer.
    Your 2TB drive likely requires a bit more current than the USB port on the AirPort Extreme can supply. It is also possible that the drive's firmware may not support a network USB connection....only a "local" connection to a computer. Check with Seagate support on that possibility.
    Try using a powered USB hub with the 2TB drive....and make sure that the drive is formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32....which the AirPort Extreme USB port can accept.

    why does fcpx suddenly stops reading audio files? ever since i upgraded to Yosemite. Than when I check it on my hard drive it doesn't work as well. Only this file. Am in a trouble of delivering now. Any help?

    Could be systems logs or some other system file growing.
    Use OmniDiskSweeper or DaisyDisk to map what's being used.

  • 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 does my trackpad stop working, the batteries are fine.

    Why does my trackpad stop working, the batteries are fine.

    Try expanding your question a little bit.... how is it not working? Just saying it "stopped working" isn't really saying much.
    Like does it work sometimes and it intermittendly stops? Is the light on the power button not on?
    Does it sometimes not click things? (always remember the actual trackpad buttons are actually on the buttom of the trackpad so you have to give a decent click on the pad to make it work)

    Why does apple not stop these app that steal money from small children

    In the final analysis it is down to parents to use the parental control features. 
    In addition to that, parents should regularly check the nature of all downloaded apps available to their children.
    Yours are the chidren ... and yours, the responsibility.
