Hi
Yeah... I know I'm having a bad week!
iMovie 5.02
iDVD 5.0.1

1GB RAM
8GB free on startup disk
Working from external drive with plenty of space.
Doing a 2 dvd disk set project of my Kimberley trip.
Disk one burnt fine.
Disk two keeps giving an error message 2 or 3 hours into the
burning phase.
Error 34506 - failed to burn or something similar.
Have recreated the DVD project,tried a new disk etc but still
happens.
My guess is that one of the 3 movies in the project must be faulty
in some
way.
Please does anyone know what error 34506 means?
From Googling Rod, it seems that a 34506 error is a multipluxing
error.
If it is a muxing (multipluxing) issue then the maths for the mpeg2
files is off. I do not use iDVD so I do not know are you able to
create your own mpeg2 files if so visit the site below and it should
be able to solve your computational problem. Redo compression
encoding with desired results if still the same reduce bitrate more

If iDVD controls all of this which from memory is the case. Then
somewhere in preferences it should allow some selection as too the
quality of DVD try the lowest and work your way up. Test by encoding
to desktop so it creates a disk image on hard drive, play this via
dvdplayer accomplished by double clicking image file. If it is all OK
try next selection until happy then use Disk Utility to burn file.
Somewhere along the line when it is encoding the dvd, an error occurs.
Yes as I explained above the maths is wrong, too high bitrate for
amount of information. Reduce the quality and bitrate comes down
hence more space. It is always a compromise and it depends on how
much do I compromise.
One suggestion put forward was to create a disc image instead and
burn that image with Toast. Give that a go!
Bit hard to create an image when it will not encode the information..
Cheers!
