iDVD error message

Greetings

This extremely frustrating and I'm a loss to figure out how to resolve it....

I'm using Tiger and iDVD 06, of course. I'm on an Intel iMac.

I have very successfully created DVDs before, but now in iDVD, when I've encoded everything and I'm at the burning stage, I'm getting a rather stark message along the lines 'Errors were encountered...'

A couple of things. If I pop in a DVD+R (this is the format that I've used in the past), Toast, or whatever I've selected, will launch. If I go to Finder, there is no sign of the DVD, nor is there one on the Desktop....

I have to go to Disk Utility to eject the disk (or close Toast, if selected).

I do have Parallels installed but not running.

I've tried this with a number of different disks and the same problem occurs.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks Mitcherooney

To isolate the problem, do a Save As Disc Image. This will allow you to figure out if the error is during the DVD asset creation time, or during the burn process. After creating the disc image, use toast to do a burn.

RE: DVD error !!!

Hi, I certainly agree with you. Your advice is really very helpful for us.

Thanks a lot!

Sorry for being slow with this reply....

Before I read your replies, I got hold of a pack of DVD-Rs to try and tried one of them. Lo and behold it worked! So I'm still confused as to precisely what went on.

As you will know, the encoding takes forever, so it was with much relief when finally I got a sensible result. I will bear in mind the idea about saving the project as an image file in the future.

Thanks for you replies. Cheers M
