Multiplexing and burning error

Hello all,

I just recently upgraded to iLife'11 and can no longer create DVDs in iDVD. The project will save, and complete most of the process then get hung on "multiplexing and burning". It will eject the disk but the disk will be unreadable by computers or DVD players. iDVD will also stay on "multiplexing and burning" for an indefinite amount of time.

I have a late model 2007 17" MacBook Pro3.1 with a 2.6GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB of Ram and an Intel 160GB Solid State hard drive which has 60GB of free space. Im also running OSX 10.6.5, I just ran a software update and everything is up to date. Disk utility reports a healthy disk, verified and no errors.

Couple tests and facts, 1) I can burn CDs and DVDs from iTunes, 2) I can watch regular DVDs, 3) I can create a disk image from iDVD, 4) I have no other programs running while attempting this, 5) It was working the other day in iLife/iDVD'09.

17" MBP3.1, 2.6C2D, 4GB, 160GB SSD, Mac OS X (10.6.5), Intel SSD

Have you tried disposing of the plist for iDvd yet? It's located in your Home folder (the one that looks like a house) > Library > Preferences >

com.apple.iDvd.plist

Make sure to quit iDvd prior to disposing of the plist. This procedure will not harm your mac nor the app. Lastly I'd like you to Restart your mac and try iDvd one more time. Post back if you need further help.

I am having an iDVD problem that I hope you may be able to solve SDMacuser. I have a large project on iDVD that will only fit on a double-layer disc. I have tried to burn it but it's not hapening, keeps ejecting half way through. I read ur comment on another discussion saying that your project has to be split into 2 iDVD projects, one on each layer. I would prefer to burn it as one project. Do you know of any other programs I can use to do this? Many thanks for any help anyone can give.
