Why doesn't iDVD burn changes made within iMovie?

I have iMovie 6.0.3 and iDVD 6.0.3 and have made several movies and DVDs over the past few years. But now have hit something very frustrating....
1) I've just completed a movie in iMovie. Took it to iDVD, created menus etc. then burned it to a DVD-RW. Noticed a couple of changes I wanted to make, namely a soundtrack volume adjustment, and a subtitle change (within iMovie). Made the changes in iMovie.
2) When I opened iDVD again, it said it noticed some changes in the iMovie project and would I accept them. Answered yes. When I reviewed these changes in iDVD preview, all was well. It showed the new subtitle.
3) Did another burn (3-4 hour process, mostly encoding) to disk image. Lo and behold, this new movie still showed the OLD subtitle!!
4) Deleted this disk image file. Checked the iDVD preview again, and it showed the corrected subtitle. Created a NEW disk image (for the THIRD time!) and four hours later discover that the OLD subtitle is still there!!!
What the heck is going on?? iMovie file was modified, resulting iDVD project file reflected the change, but the "burn" result does NOT reflect the change!!!! Why is iDVD Burn sill picking up the old version of my movie?____
Thanks-

You're right. Only selecting Advanced>Delete Encoded Assets did the trick. Otherwise, even though iDVD recognizes that the iMovie file had changed, it doesn't necessarily "pick up" all the changes ....unless you Delete Encoded Assets.
I don't know which changes iDVD does or doesn't pick up, but in future I will always Delete Assets to be sure. Saves lots of time in the long run.
THANKS for your help!!
P.S. I did not have background encoding enabled. Never do.

  • Why doesn't Photoshop recognize changes made to file in Lightroom?

    Hi, I am new to Lightroom and have used Photoshop for many years. I have made many adjustments to a psd file in Lightroom, made sure to save metadata to file... but when I open the file in Photoshop CS6 it reverts to the original version without the Lightroom changes. How can I get Photoshop to recognize the adjustments to the file?

    Excellent... have a great day!!! As Lightroom makes non-destructive changes the only way for them to be "seen" is to create pixels to match them when the files is opened into other applications.

    Why doesn't the DVD I burnt using iMovie work on my DVD recorder?

    You probably used the Finder and burned a data DVD. They can only play on a computer.
    Do you have any DVD authoring software?

  • Why doesn't the URL change in the Wonder Bar when I change tabs, or when I navigate to pages within the site?

    Just upgraded to 5.0
    The URL in the WOnder Bar doesn't change when I switch from one tab to next.
    For instance, I'm currently on this page, but I don't see the URL. What I see in the wonder bar is the last url I typed in: mailchimp.com.
    Also, sometimes I get "new Tab" and when I type the URL, the Title tag does not come up on the tab, it stays as "new tab."

    There have been a couple of different extension that have caused that problem. You'll need to do a little troubleshooting to determine which of your extensions is causing that.

  • Why doesn't Apple allow changing your AppleID username?

    i realize this subject is best sent to Apple Feedback ("Contact Us" link found at the bottom right of most pages on Apple's site). I post here to hopefully assemble others who have the same questions or concerns, with the ultimate result being a call for action, that more than just me emails Apple to see if the change I discuss here, and others before this post have made, might finally happen as this is not a new concern.
    I have several AppleIDs. Not by want, but by mistake. Like many, when you bought a new Mac device, during set up many mistakenly created a new AppleID instead of using their original existing one. Some people do want multiple AppleIDs and that's fine. This post is about those who don't, but once an AppleID is created you're stuck with it, other than not using it/them and trying to stick with using just one and setting all devices and your logging to be just one AppleID.
    The problem is that many didn't realize we created other AppleIDs and started to use them and then find out that they can't be merged and certain fields can't be changed. Period.
    For me, i bought a new device and then noticed my posts here in Discussions show my full name instead of my long used nickname. When registering my new device I must have unknowingly input my full name not realizing I was assigning both creating a new AppleID until I posted next in Discussions.
    The problem can be that instead of one AppleID, you end up with 2 or more and each AppleID stores your data specific to that ID and our AppleIDs don't talk to each other. For Discussions, because I logged in over time with different AppleIDs, so my posting and Activity are broken up over my different IDs. We don't have the ability to see all our posts in one place, AKA one login, or one login that can access all our other AppleIDs.
    So if I need to find a post I started or contributed to, I may have to login with each AppleID until I find it.
    Many people have questioned why does Apple have such a strict policy about AppleIDs when for the user, it can and does complicate using Apple products, forcing us to remember which AppleID we used for which device, Discussions, iTunes, etc. Again, some want separate ApleIDs for each use, but for those that don't, we have to manage not to accidentally create additional AppleIDs and/or if you get stuck with multiple AppleIDs that you make sure you only use one and ignore the others to prevent your data being fractured among more than one AppleID.
    Apple must have a reason for insisting that those with more AppleIDs than desired can't merge or change certain fields, but it certainly doesn't seem to benefit the user. So why is their policy in force and regardless, with enough outcry AKA Feedback... It might impact enough on Apple to make some changes.
    SO if you don't like having multiple AppleIDs and wish to merge them/some or change some of the now unchangeable fields, please send Feedback to Apple - found in the lower right "Contact Us"
    Thanks!

    You are not alone. I am sure a lot of folks did exactly what you did, others found that they forgot passwords or security questions and the like.
    [1] This seems solvable - if this identity is new, it could and should be changed by the Hosts
    [2] Yep, that's the kicker (<- technical term) - the database holding all your posts uses your AppleID as the one solid 'keyword' to tie them all together, regardless of content  - there is probably yet another database for all Store issues - that seems a less daunting coding task to merge. But probably won't happen. A good source here among Hi-Levelers has told that a feature of iOS 8 (coming this Fall!!) will have 'family plan-like management features.  But I think it unlikely to extend to the discussions.
    If you change that AppleID keyword, you lose all connectivity to those posts. Read on...
    [3] I have a workaround for you: Go to each AppleID Profile page in A Seperate Tab. Even though you are not logged into each AppleID, you can still see everything about posts - you just can't set prefs. Not on one page, but for me, it would be easier to keep track of with it sorted by ID.
    [4] Pardon my sarcasm, but make Sticky Note or something!! Seriously, just get it straight once and for all and keep it in a text file or spreadsheet if tits that complex.
    [5] see 1-3. Apple will probably see your point with "Personal Information" on #1
    Regarding your grass-roots effort, take care not to even insinuate a "P O L L" <- formatting mine. Super NoNo per ToU. Even if there were the effort made, I'll bet not enough folks suffer as you do to make a global change.

  • Why doesn't my burn tool work?

    I'm creating cartoon/painted imagery in CS 5, in doing so, I'm using multiple vector masks. My burn tool works sometimes, and other times it doesn't. I use the dodge tool, it works fine, then I try switching to the burn tool, and nothing happens. Meanwhile, it's working on similar layers that I made previously. I can't fathom what would cause it not to work, considering that the dodge tool is working on the same layer, and the the burn tool is working on other layers that I created the exact same way.
    I'm not photoshop incompetent, so YES, I do have the layer selected. I'm doing everything correct to my knowledge. I provided a printscreen. Ignore my plethora of layers and my half completed Macklemore. As you can see, I have the neck layer selected. which I just finished using the dodge tool on, but when I go to switch to the burn tool, it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

    Ok so im trying to crop this to make a .gif for a friend and here's what it does:
    This is what I'm trying to crop, with my settings as stated above.
    This is what happens when i use the move tool and pan over to see that it's not cropped.
    This is what happens when i try to see if it will be different on another page, so i post is on a whole new layer document

  • Why is the iDVD-burned CD of worse quality than the raw quicktime movie?

    Hello,
    I have digitzed some old VHS movie to quicktime using a simple USB video grabber. The quicktime movie that I got is of good quality. Then I have imported to iMovie, made the editing, finalized the movie, and shared to iDVD. The encoding is set to best performance, the format is PAL, 4:3, and then I have burned the DVD. When I look at the DVD on our TV the dark parts are really awful - digitizing noise all over the place.
    I then connected the computer directly to the TV and this is much better in quality . the background has no or little flicker, and the dark parts remain dark.
    What am I doing wrong? I refuse to beleive that this is as good as it gets - commercial DVDs are much better and this is from a €%&/# VHS, so there should not be any real degradation?!?

    When I inspected on a huge flatscreen it turns out that

    Clearly when you look at a 720 x 576 DVD on a 42" LCD it will not look good unless you have good source footage AND a good encoder AND good upscaling from your player. iDVD does provide a good encoder but the other two may just not be up to the task.
    I personally made DVDs that looked good on a 42" Sony TV. But they were encoded in Compressor and played on a Blu-Ray player with excellent upscaling.

    How can I burn the mpeg-4 to a DVD without incurring the loss in quality? How do studios do this?
    You can't and they don't. First of, studios don't start out with highly compressed videos and secondly they have much better software encoders (which cost $$$$) like CinemaCraft or hardware encoders.
    anderssunesson wrote:
    There were some tips on round pixels vs square pixels. I will look into that. Do you need a special "DVD-digitizer" to save your old VHS movies??
    You can get something that goes from VHS to DV (instead of MPEG-4) like the Canopus converters and then edit in either iMovie 6 or FCE (both are EOL). In any case, bear in mind that you start out from VHS.

  • Why won't iDVD burn my .avi files... it used to?

    i have files ending in .avi that i want to burn to a DVD, in order to watch them on television.
    i throw them into the iDVD and the preview shows nothing but a blank screen.
    iDVD used to burn my .avi files.
    i have converted them to .mp4 / .mpg / .mov... but nothing seems to work.
    sometimes, throwing a .mp4 file into iDVD nothing happens at all, or it will say unsupported / unrecognized file.
    the only time it did work was when i used a program to convert a file to .mp4, but now it has a huge watermark across the picture.
    why all of a sudden does it not work?

    Hi
    If QuickTime-player opens Your .avi files then start Inspector (cmd+I) and read
    Video Format/Codec: nnnnnnnnnnn
    What does it read ?
    What did an old .avi file that worked - read ?

  • IDVD not updating changes made in iMovie

    I 'shared' an iMovie project with iDVD. Project details were initially:
    Video mode: PAL (Australia)
    Aspect Ratio: 4:3
    Encoding: Best Quality
    Project Duration: 94:01 minutes
    DVD Capacity: 3.3GB of 4.2GB
    Motion Menus: 15.14 of 15:00 (minutes)
    Tracks: 1 of 99
    Menus: 5 of 99
    As the motion menus (the total duration of all the menus in the project including still and motion menus, menu transitions and autoplay movies) were 14 seconds over quota, I went back to iMovie and reduced these by 14.05 seconds. On opening the project in iDVD and clicking on 'Update your project' I found on checking the project information dialogue box that no change to the length of my Motion Menus was indicated.
    Can any throw some light on this?

    On reflection, it may well be that I have misinterpreted the reduction in length that I made to to rolling credit stills as being 'menus' as they have a chapter marker attached. I'll experiment some more and post my results to this thread in a week or two.

  • If I move a picture from one project to another in aperture why doesn't the jpeg change folders if all my pictures are referenced?

    I started importing all my pictures into Aperture and have been debating whether to use a managed or referenced library.  I'm leaning toward referenced, but before import everything that way, I do a couple of "test drives".
    In Aperture, I moved a photo from one project to another expecting that the jpeg in finder would move from the original folder to the new one, but it didn't.  Anyone know why?  Is there a way to make this happen?  Is it bad that I want this to happen?  Should I just use a managed library.  I like having control of the actual files (thus wanting to go with a referenced library).
    Any thoughts?
    Mark

    In Aperture, I moved a photo from one project to another expecting that the jpeg in finder would move from the original folder to the new one, but it didn't. 
    Mark, Aperture does not store the originals organized by project, but by the date of the Import Session. So moving an image to a different project will not change, were the original file is stored.
    This has a big advantage for backing up the originals. If they never move or change, you do not have to backup the originals other than directly after importing, if your library is referenced. And even incremental backups of a managed library are quicker.
    Is there a way to make this happen?
    You can always use the command "File > Relocate" to move the original files anywhere you want.
    Is it bad that I want this to happen?  Should I just use a managed library.  I like having control of the actual files (thus wanting to go with a referenced library).
    If it is bad, will depend on why you want to have control of your originals. If you just want to know where they are, it is o.k., or if you don't have enough space on the drive with the library and need to split the library across several drives. But it would be bad to move, edit, or access the referenced originals in any way. Let Aperture do the handling,  or you will be risking broken references.
    Aperture has several buil-in ways to show you the original: The "M" key will switch the Browser to the original, "File > Export > Original" will give you an exact copy of the original, or you can relocate the file to another folder.  I simply open the aperture Library in iPhoto, when I want to view my managed originals. iPhoto has a command "File > Reveal in Finder > Original" that will show you also the managed originals in the "Masters" folder inside the Aperture/iPhoto Library package.

  • Why doesn't the icon change when I go to different websites-example yahoo doens't change to the purpe circle with the y inside?

    When I pull up mozilla, I have a gray circle in front of the att homepage. When I go to yahoo, this icon doesn't change to the purple circle. The gray circle remains in the address bar before any website . -possibly only unsecured websites since I see that I have a picture of a lock when I was directed to this website. This recently happened and it occurs every time I pull up the browser.

    I have been going crazy trying to figure out what was wrong. I was ready to take my computer in. Thanks so much for informing me of this -now I can rest easy . have a great day. Angela

  • PSE 8 doesn't see color changes made in Camera Raw

    I have just installed PSE 8 and am getting started.  I have made changes to an image in Camera Raw through Bridge and when I import it to PSE 8 it doen't have the changes.  It shows the original image.  What do I do to connect the two?  Also Bridge "Creative Suite Color Settings" can't be enabled.  It requires that a qualifing product be launched at least once to enable.  But there is no info that I can find about this.   Does this have anything to do with my problem? 

    At the very bottom of the ACR window you'll see blue link text with the info about the color space, bit depth, etc. of your image. Click it to bring up this window:
    where you can make changes. In PSE, go to Edit>Color Settings.

  • Canvas/work area image gets stuck, doesn't show any changes made?

    For some reason, if I minimize my Photoshop CS4 window for a few minutes and come back to it the canvas image I was working on is stuck for lack of better words. I change the zoom, doesn't do anything, although it shows at the top that I did in fact zoom to x%. Same for even using the brush to scribble, making layers invisible etc. Basically anything that changes what you see on the main canvas.
    The only quickest way I have found to fix this is by dragging the tab of the project I'm working on out to show it in a window then dragging it back into the main working area again. This is clearly frustrating, has this happened to anyone else? Any idea of how to fix this? I couldn't find a single thing about this issue on Google.
    The program itself doesn't even say not responding or anything at all, all menus open etc. so Photoshop itself isn't actually frozen, I'm baffled.
    I'm running Photoshop CS4 (Extended) on Windows 7 32-bit Ultimate.

    Sounds like you need a display driver update.
    Go to the web site of the maker of your video card, and download and install their latest driver for your hardware.
    That usually fixes this.

  • Why doesn't iCloud recognize changes I make to update my iTunes Library?

    ?? iCloud   ~   HELP!   ~  iTunes??
    ?? iPhone ??
    What am I MISSING Here?
    iCloud and iTunes frustrate me beyond belief every time I manually clean up
    and iTunes on my PC
    Does anyone out there have a solution to the following?
    Why does iCloud intrepret reorganized files as additional files? 
    iCloud interprets my manually edited and reorganized files in iTunes as NEW additions rather than deletions...
    ...Therefore, every time I open itunes software, plug my iPhone into my PC and sync my iPhone via iCloud...
    ...iCloud downloads a horrible pile up of mega gigabite duplicates, triplicates, plus, plus, plus, to my iPhone!!!
    How can I make my own permant edits, deletions and changes to contents backed up in iCloud storage if I cannot even view whats being stored there????

    Nancy,
    Did you ever get an answer? I also downloaded a TV season pass but am unable to see the episodes on either ITUNES or AppleTV. I received the email notification for a new episode but it still does not download. When I go to ITUNES, I am told all episodes have been downloaded. Can anyone help?

  • Hi there, why doesn't my iPad change orientation when I write an email?

    Hi
    I have a problem with my iPad 2. It doesn't change orientation when I go into Mail and start writing. I haven't touched the 'lock orientation' button.
    Can anybody explain how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Cee Cee

    - First make sure that you don't see the lock icon on the top right corner (it may have been activated by default).
    - If other apps keep rotating but just the Mail one doesn't, then you probably need to force quit the Mail app.
    Two ways to do that:
    - in Mail, press the Sleep/Wake button for 10-15 sec until the shutdown screen appears, then press the home button until the app quits.
    - on the homescreen, double press the home button to see the opened apps, the press on the mail app until you see them bouncing with a red circle on the top left of the icon, and press on that sign for the mail app, then press the home button again to go back to normal.
    Then, launch mail again and check if it works.
