    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

I have been trying to burn a slideshow of about 200 photos onto a disc with iDVD. I put in the blank disc when the program asks for it, it goes through all the steps of burning the disc. And at the end of the process as it's finishing, my Mac ejects the disc. :\
I tried putting the disc back in to see if it would resume burning, it does not. I closed the program put the disc in and my mac reads the disc as blank, but when I re-opened iDVD it would not burn on that disc. Which I thought was very odd because my Mac said it was blank. So I put a different disc in and iDVD did the same thing.
-Started the burning process and before it finished my Mac ejected the disc

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated:)

Rather than tell iDVD to burn direct to the disc, tell it to create a disc image. Then use Disk Utilities to burn that image to a real disc. Search the forms for this tip.

I'd also check the logs using the Console app in the Utilities folder. Perhaps there is a hint of why the failure is occurring.
