Hi folks,
Something went wrong with my DVD ......
1] running DV iMac 400 G3 10.2.8
2] I edited 3 hours of video footage down to 40 minutes using Final Cut
Express then saved it back out to DV. Attached camera to tv and it ran
fine.
3] Bought a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-108 dual layer burner
4] Using toast 6 plug and burn
First off the encoding took about 56 hours which just about drove me
nuts then the actual burning of the 40min 57sec movie took 38 minutes.
I put it in the DVD player on the mac feeling 'yah clever me' and agh!
it started playing ok, about 30 seconds then it jerked to a halt and
said there was an error or maybe damaged/scratched. Maybe the player
needs cleaning so i then put the disc in the Pioneer burner and it
played ok.... not as good as the tv resolution but it was ok and since
I needed 15 copies for a group of kids I started burning those. I
couldn't do a copy disc because it wouldn't play on the internal drive
so each was taking the 38 minutes to burn. About half way done I asked
hubby to check it out on the DVD player and tv because I was having a
meeting and needed to show it. DISASTER...... it plays ok and as long
as the action is minimal all is ok but as soon as people start moving
around on the footage it jumps around all over the place.
I remember when it was copying onto toast that the sound track seemed
to be running behind the action though that does not seem to be the
case on the burned copy.... soundtrack is fine just the visual that is
all jerky.
Any ideas anyone...... is my iMac not good enough or anything I should
have done I didn't etc
Thanks in advance
Yvonne
