If it is not recommended to burn DL iDVD projects?

Hello

When I want to save/record an as project DL iDVD project, iDVD says, one should not burn to / save as disc image, if you want to use DL media.

Here, he also says that most stand-alone players will not play DL media http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1355450&seqNum=13

So what is the situation? Any recommendations? Better avoid DL projects?

Thanks in advance.

This article from Peachpit is very old.

I've never seen this comment from iDVD: at what stage do you see that? You can take a screenshot and post here?

I rarely use DVD double layer as projects more than 2 hours are really too long.

iDVD encoding settings:

http://support.Apple.com/kb/HT1502?viewlocale=en_US

Short version:

Best Performance is for up to 60 minutes videos

Is better quality for the videos up to 120 minutes

Professional quality is also for up to 120 minutes, but a higher quality (and takes much longer)

It was single layer DVD double those numbers for the double DVD layer.

Professional: professional quality option uses the advanced technology of re-encoding to encode your video (the first pass determines what parts of the film may be compressor plu data without loss of quality and what are the parts cannot.)  The second pass then encodes the parts accordingly), resulting in the best possible video quality on your DVD burned. You can select this option regardless of the duration of your project (up to 2 hours of video for a single disc layer and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because the professional quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring twice as much time to encode a project like the high quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned about the time needed.

In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects, etc. Allow about 15 minutes for them.

You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single layer disc), choose the best Performance. If it is between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single layer disc), choose the quality. If you want the best quality possible encoding for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single layer disc), choose the professional quality. This option takes about twice as long as the high quality option, to select what if time is not a problem for you.

Use the capacity meter in the project info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.

NOTE: With the creation of better performance, you can turn off background encoding by choosing advanced > "encode in background. The check is removed to show that it is no longer selected. Encoding turn off background can help performance if your system seems slow.

And while that check these settings in iDVD preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV widescreen are also what you want.

  • does not burn on iDVD file on disk; something that will convert file .dvdproj?

    First of all, I work on a very old iMac:

    Model name: iMac, mid2007

    Model identifier: iMac7, 1

    Processor name: Intel Core 2 Duo

    CPU speed: 2 GHz

    Number of processors: 1

    Total number of cores: 2

    L2 Cache: 4 MB

    Memory: 4 GB

    The only thing about this that is current is the OS I've just updated to El Capitan.

    My problem - I made a slideshow in iDVD (one supplied with the machine; I was surprised he worked at the title of THIS) for a friend, with 148 photos and music. Problem is that I can't burn to a DVD. The process starts, but inevitably iDVD, the computer or whatever, locks and I get the rotation beach ball. So, I have to force quit to get out to it.

    I did not know that iDVD is a dead app, is no longer sold or supported. Shame on me. So here I am with a file .dvdproj which I can view easily on my iMac, but can not burn on a DVD for the girl that I did.

    Before I turn to iMovie and completely redo all the work, I wonder if there is any way I can use the .dvdproj file I have and either convert it to a more accessible type or import it into iMovie, or...

    I know, I know. With a little money and get a new computer and stop trying to do it with Ribbon bandaids adhesive and leads. Laughing out loud

    First try following this workflow to help ensure the best DVD video qualty:

    Once the project you want it save it as an image disk via the menu file → save as Disk Image . It will separate from the process of encoding of the burning process.

    To check coding mount the disk image, launch a DVD player and read it.  If it plays OK with DVD, encoding is good.

    Burn burn to disc with utility disk or toasts to the slowest speed (2 x - 4 x) in order to ensure the best quality.  Always use higher quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are recommended in these forums.

    As test, create a simple second, iDVD project and try to save as a disk image.  If this goes thru OK then recreate the current project from scratch and try to create a disk image of it.

    You have all the materials for moving/video published after their addition to the iDVD project? How much space you have on your startup disk?  With iDVD, you should have a minimum of 20-25 GB of free space.

    The music was purchased from the iTunes store, and if so, does DRM protection?

  • How can I get around "could not initialize disc burning engine.

    I just spent ages trying to fix "sorry, that a serious error has occurred which requires Adobe Premiere Elements stop.»  We will try to save your current project"

    After trying I don't know how many different possible solutions, I hit on "access to McAfee Security Center and disable antivirus real-time analysis".

    Phew, that made me work again - now I am trying to burn my movie, but I'm getting now "could not initialize disc burning engine.

    There has been no problem so far, I've burned loads of movies before, without any problem.

    I went into Device Manager and disabled the DVD recorder according to the few discussions restarted but nothing helps.  In Device Manager the DVD status is "this device is functioning."

    What can I do to diagnose and fix this problem?  Any help would be appreciated as I am a little frustrated now have had two problems to the harnessed.


    A little additional info: -.

    My C drive has 287 GB of capacity, with 39.6 GB free
    I am running Vista Service Pack 2

  • Satellite M30: the drive will not read or burn a dvd - rw - Xp SP2

    I have my carpet and M30 * one dvd not read or burn dvd - rw. Tried driver implemented to date, but without operating. Help, please!

    Hi Khalifa,

    Until you can play a DVD - RW on your M30 the DVD must be finalized. In order to record on a blank DVD - RW the drive must be formatted first (using something like Nero INCD). If all goes well, then you should be capable of both wathch and burn DVD - RW discs. :-)

    Hello

    I m not very well if you need a CD/DVD firmware update and if this firmware update is available for you, CD/DVD player

    First of all, you should test different drives from different manufacturers.
    I had good experience using R TDK (CD and DVD) and Verbatim.

    I noticed more problems with reading/writing using disks unnamed
    That's why you need to test different media

    In addition, you must remove the upper and lower registry key filters:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
