Hi. So I've been trying to burn a DVD for 2 days straight now.
I created the project on iDVD and was ready to burn it onto a DVD+R DL.
I chose the "Best Performance Encoding" first, and it took about 4 hours.
Right to the very end, it said that there was a "Multiplexing Error".
I was so pissed off! I wasted 4 hours and got nothing!
I really wanted to burn that DVD so I changed up the iDVD project a bit.
Deleted some videos, pictures and drop zones, etc.
I also changed the Encoding Preference to "Professional Quality".
Was able to use more space on the DVD. That took much longer though.
And 4x burning speed because I read that there are less errors with that.
So I left it to burn overnight as it required about 6-7 hours to finish!
When I woke up the next morning, the DVD was ejected and it said,
'Multiplexing and burning' and that there was only 1 minute left.
I was so confused. iDVD ejected the DVD even though it wasn't done burning.
The DVD was blank and the 'Multiplexing and burning' process didn't stop.
I've never felt so pissed off and frustrated in my entire life!
Although I've burnt a lot of DVDs before using iDVD, this was the first time.
So I saved the project as a Disk Image, which took another 4 hours.
After that, I used Disk Utility, waited for about an hour and it burned!!!
Only problem is that the DVD doesn't work on our DVD player.
It said on most forums that DVD's burnt using Disk Utility won't always work.
The same goes Dual Layer DVDs because they're sketchy or something.
Or DVD+R, because most DVD players are compatible with DVD-R? I dunno.
I just really need help.. D:
How can I burn the DVD on iDVD without getting errors?
Multiplexing errors especially. I cannot waste another 7 hours! D':
A lot of forums also talked about using Verbatim or Maxell DVDs.
So I might try that. And they also prefer DVD-Rs.
I've explained everything that has happened while burning one DVD.
I hope someone can help me.. Thank you very much!
