    Arrrgh!

    Brand new i7 iMac, latest OSX updates, have been trying to do something incredibly simple…burn a DVD with iDVD!
    The file is a .mp4 rendered from Adobe Media Encoder. I tried different sizes, different formats, same result.
    Finally got a tip on the 2nd thread..

    It seems you MUST go thru iMovie. The .mp4 was originally exported via Premiere from Adobe Media Encoder.
    I dragged the .mp4 into a new iMovie project and then ‘shared’ it with iDVD.

    But why the heck can’t iDVD give you a more descriptive error message….?

    Local is the new global

    Hey, friend. I had the same problem last night. Try this:

    I recreated all the files using the Quick Time codec (.mov) files. It worked like a charm.

    I also had problems rendering the Menu files. It was a problem on the DVD theme track muted. Unmute it and voila!

    Hope it helps you!
