I keep getting multiplex Errors when I burn with iDVD 5. I can make the movies in Toast 6, but with no menu. (Also, someone told me that my toast created DVD didn't work in their standard DVD player... my DVD player is broken so I can't verify if the problem is on all stand-along DVD players for TV, or just certain ones, but it does run in my Powerbook).
I've been trying to find a solution, but with no avail. I've noticed a few other people have posted the same Error messages in other message boards recently.
Computer: Al. G4 1Ghz Powerbook with Tiger 10.4.1 22GB free
DVD burner: LaCie d2 DVD±RW with LightScribe 16x connected via firewire. I have the latest updates. (And yes, Tiger sees the drive and so does iDVD and Toast).
DVD disk: I'm using Sony DVD-R ver. 2.0 disks 4.7GB 1x - x8s speed drm5g80001. ... the fact that the DVD is a Sony might factor in with it not being readable by some DVD drives, but I'm not sure if DVD brand is that significant when it comes to DVD players. Is it?
Things I tried: Freeing up as much hard drive space as possible. I have about 22GB free now. I've also tried to delete Encoded assets.
The video is about 20 mins long (it's actually 4 short videos). At first I tried using the iMovie files, which took up about 15 GB of hard drive space, but i had problems. So, I freed up space by saving the files into DV format, which only took up a few Gb of information rather than giga-double-digits.
Would it be better to convert the DV format into Quicktime files? Would the quality suffer if I did so?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
thanks,
