Export qucktime .mov (5.9GB) – bring into iDVD and it iDVD fails on burn stage
Hi,
I export my premiere CS5 wedding project as quicktime .mov, the file size is 5.9GB, I then create my iDVD project and place my .mov file into iDVD, and attempt to burn. Each time (6 tries) it fails on final stage, the burn stage. The dvd is never written to when I take it out, i do throw it away and use a new one each time, however the burn stage never starts.
I have created two quicktime .mov files and this happens with each file so I presume it is not a corrupt file. However, I created a short clip that is 20mg and the iDVD burns perfectly. I have plenty of ram and free space, my disk utility on hard drive ran perfect .. running out of options.
Ideas ? Thank you in advance 🙂

The single layer DVD data storage limit is only 4.7Gigs. You .mov is too large. I would recommend keeping the .mov file size under 4.5Gb for sufficient headroom for burning data, menus, ect

thanks, but idvd should compress this file down … the video is only 30 minutes long – i read many places online that its not the size of the file, its the length

Have you attempted using Encore? This is not a workflow that I have ever used ie. PPro to iDVD and I haven’t used iDVD for last 7+ years because I had a different workflow, even for quick one offs.
I would suggest taking your file into adobe media encoder and compress it there for DVD output and then burn it in Encore or even DVDSP if you’d rather.

the problem with encore, as far as my knowledge goes, is that you cannot make the menus as you can with idvd …

update: i have used a second mac to create the idvd flawlessly. funny, because the idvd that worked is an older version.

Which version did you use? Would you be so kind as to share what your exact export settings were in PP or Media Encoder and which version of iDVD was used? As much info as you can bare to share please! I lost a whole entire day randomly not being able to burn because of this issue. Got me in lots of trouble with clients.
