Mac OS 10.8.4
iDVD 7.1.2
iPhoto 11 (9.4.3)
I have successfully converted an iPhoto slideshow to a quicktime movie which plays fine on the computer but refuses to burn to disk in iDVD.
I have also tried to burn with Disk Utility and Toast.
The error I get when burning is:
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key=MEDIUM ERROR
SENSE CODE=0X0C
WRITE ERROR

Your DVD burner is either not handling the DVD media well or it might be dirty or even failing. Try these:
1. get high quality DVD-R media (Verbatim is recommended). if that doesn't work then
2. get a cleaning disc and clean the drive following the instructions. if that doesn't work then
3. it might be time to get the drive checked .... or maybe even a new drive.

It does sound like a burn issue but follow this workflow in order to isolate the encoding process from the burn process. This way you won't have to go thru the encoding process each time you try to make a successful burn.
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
OT
Forgive my lack of experience but what program do I use to make a disk image and how do I do it please?
I am also thinking of loading the image onto a thumb drive and trying to burn it on my old PowerPC Mac. Not sure if it will work or not.
I am using Maxell DVD-R
I have had intermentant problems in the past with other burns so the burner having a problem makes sense. I just hope that isn't the real problem.... can't afford to get it fixed right now. :-(
iDVD has a menu option to save as a disk image:
Then burn the disk image with Disk Utility.
Thanks. Will work on it and update. I did find a DVD player cleaner so hopefully that helps also.
I made some changes to the slideshow and used my DVD Cleaner. It seems to have worked. Likely the burner needed cleaned. Thanks all.
Dear Apple Users
I have a solution when you Burning a Dvd in idvd, it show multiplexing error.
To remove this type of problem, First of all make sure your quick time file is export correctly. Make sure when you export a quick time file from final cut pro, the position of the chapter markers should not be the place where you put dissolve effect. Change the position of all markers, if they placed on the final cut effects.
After that export a new file and then drag into idvd, it Works, There is no problem with discs, no need to clean any cache.
Enjoy
