Sharing to DVD all my projects stops att 66 % - without error messages.

I'm a beginner in Final Cut Pro X. Not good at ¨computer terms¨ and computers so please take it easy when explaining.

My first three project was succesfully . (I then had no background image.)The fourth project (about 59 minutes) was at first successfully even with a background image. (But when I played the DVD on my DVD-player it stopped completely after 45 minutes, but went on when I tried to play it again, from the place where it stopped.) Then I replaced the background image with another and after that it stopped at 66 %. I read about the error -29 and made my image ¨smaller¨ but nothing happened. I also made the project shorter, about 57 minutes, nothing happened.

I tried a couple of completely new project from 2 – 20 minutes long – the same happened, it stopped at 66 %. (Read about deleting render files and tried that too without results.) I have a Mac OS X 10.8.3 Mountain Lion

Grateful for help after a week with problems. It’s a dancing project and people are waiting for the DVD…

Russ,

thanks.

But it still does not work...

Last sunday I re-installed FCP.

But until now nothing seems to work.

So I am looking for a window to hrow out everything...

Share operation has failed. Quicktime error: 0

I don't believe you have the same problem that the OP has (had?) – or that Alchroma and I had.That was a job action failure – where FCP does encode the file to DVD-compliant files, but in the handoff to Create Disk to actually burn it, something falls through the cracks.

My suggestion is that you to export your file (as Master File) to Compressor and burn it from Compressor. Since you may also have an interlacing issue, either de-interlace in FCP before you export or in Compressor. If you need any input on how to do that, post back – and tell us what your clip properties project properties are.

Good luck.

Update:

After getting Create Disc to work directly from FCP X with the "work around" I tested a few discs without using the workaround and all seems OK.

Mine seems to work as it used to now the"switch" is on.

What has occured is still elusive?????

An AVCHD share to Bluray worked as well.

An interesting thing I notice is that the AVCHD/Bluray disc now (sort of) plays in Quicktime 10.2 whaeras previously there was no way it would evem]n load.

Can you test this on your gear please?

Yes. Same thing here. Apparently, whatever woke up Create Disk has kept it awake and no further gymnastics have been required since…several tests later.

I have an AVCHD disk somewhere and I'll test that too…or make a new one if I can't locate it.

Back to the beginning with 66% error. I tried to find out if something of your idéas can help me (after paus Sunday) on my ¨level¨...

It's strange that I first manage to burn at least three projekt, the last one with a still image. And suddenly, when i changed the still image in that projekt the problem with 66% began. And now all projekts stops at 66%. (Have tried all your advice on the background image carefully without results.) Do you mean that this can be solved by the ¨Create disk¨?

Have tried to find Create disk: Applications/Final Cut Pro.app/Contents/Plug-ins/Compressor/CompressorKit bundle/Contents/EmbeddedApps, but when i come into CompressorKit bundle, I only find a message about my last login !?

If I find it, what to do with it? (What does ¨work around¨ mean?) Does it help the 66% error?

Even if I can burn my projekts in another way outsida FCP (I'm working on it), I don't like to have something crashed in my FCP.

The create Disc is an auto actived app found buried in the FCP X Package:

Applications>FCP X>Show Package Contents>Contents>Plugins>Compressor>Compressor Kit.bundle>Show Package Contents>Embedded Apps>Create Disc

You can place the Create Disc icon in the Dock so you can quickly open it to see what is going on.

You will see a spinning action to it to confirm something is happening if it switches on during a DVD burn.

66% is where FCP X will hand the job to Create Disc to start the burn process.

As we all have found out for some unknown reson this hand over process is stopped and the burn fails.

The suggestions in this thread may get Create Disc to switch on.

Thanks for that.

But the problem is thus: when I come into ¨Compressor Kit.bundle¨ I find nothing else but a message about my last login.

That's very odd.

Can you post a screen shot of what you see there?

At the top of the window frame: ¨CompressorKit.bundle - bash-80x24¨

then - in the window:

My last login date and clock (today). And then my [name]-imac: CompressorKit.bundle¨ and my full namne

That's all

I've never seen this (what I think you're describing). Are you right-clicking on CompressorKit.bundle and then choosing Show Package Contents?

Didn't know that I should right-click (feel like a fool). Have done (I think) what you say.

I have the Create Disk i the Dock and set a small projekt to burning but cannot see any spinning when I click on the icon. (The ¨background tasks¨ shows ¨sharing¨ 66 % as usual with the blue ¨rand¨ flickering.)

Click the Create Disc icon in the Dock and Create Disc will appear at the top of your screen.

Click File>Recent to see if there is anything in the Recent list, if so,click one.

This may kick start the burn.

I have done as you say, but can't see any ¨Create Disc¨ at the top of my screen. I will think about it a little more later, if I am ¨blind¨ , because I have to leave now.
