Q: idvd error, HELP!!

I have been using idvd with no problems for ages, after the last apple update my idvd player will not burn in professional use, it gets all the way to the end and then comes up error.

 

It will burn under all other options?

 

I have uninstalled in and then put it back but still the same issue.... any advise please???

    What is the exact error message that you're getting?

    What system and iDVD versions are you using?

    How much free space do you have on your boot drive?

     

    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:

    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.
