I have an eMac with an internal CD-ROM (no burner) running OSX. I understand that iDVD cannot burn to an external burner, which I have also. I have Toast 6.0....
I had the Lacie external burner and toast was adequate for most things, but to do what You want, I'd actually check out what superdrive they use in the eMac....
Here's what's worked for me: I "burn" a DVD to a disc image from iDVD (using the HPfurz trick). This step permits a quality check on the actual deliverable DVD...
... Once you have the image file from the HPfurz trick, you can burn it just as well with disk utility. Simply drag and drop the image on the image area in...
... Oh absolutely - its a little backdoor enabler that allows iDVD to write a DVD disk image instead of writing to a burner. I think it also enables burning to...
I understood that iDVD 4 supported authoring on one computer and moving the project to another to do the burn. That capability means educational sales of Macs....

... that's a different feature which I've never tried: file=> Archive Project. I've heard from some people that have had trouble getting iDVD to accept...
Hello! I'm a new member, having been referred here by the iMovie group moderator, since my question has more to do with iDVD. I searched your archives, and...
As crazy as it seems, I was unable to even get to stage 4 using the Transparent Black theme. I had no problems with the Bronze Wedding motion theme. All of the...

I have the same problem with IDVD3.01 it starts to burn then freezes up on my external drive (not supported by apple). When i use a different program it works...
Wow, what a let down. My first iDVD project (version 4.0 with iLive 4) was pretty flawless... until I tried to burn it to a DVD. Silly me! I have an iMovie4...
Did you actually try it out in a DVD player> Mine says the same thing when it's finished with one and says if I want to make another, I have to put in a new...
Ugg, I'm a complete dolt. Disregard, everyone. There's a good reason why iDVD was asking me to insert a blank DVD. It had recorded successfully! Not sure...
check your system preferences as to what the Mac has been set to due upon insert of a DVD or CD disk. The Mac may have been following instructions ;) Mike...
Hi there, I'm wondering if there's a workaround for iDVD if you don't have a superdrive? I have a G4/867 Aluminum Powerbook with a DVD/Combo Drive and an...
Not short sighted at all. One can do the editing and mucking around, but then take it to a SD equipped Mac. I've fone this a few times. I did cope with an...
This is shortsighted on apples behalf, There is a patch to stop this and seems to work ok . Look for Hpurz on the net. (think that's the correct spelling if...
I have a G% that I just updated with iLife '05 today. I make videos for our church everyweek and burn them to DVD with iDVD. They work on about half the...
... Which brands did you try? Did you try using the Apple media? It is one of the most widely compatible media out there. Its most likely a media issue, not...
I don't think with his problem it's the brand. He's using DVD+R's....he needs to switch to a DVD-R for the Superdrive. That should solve his problem ...
... problem ... I've been using DVD-R for years ...I was hoping that with the new iLife '05 that compatibility issues would be solved since I can now burn to...
Ok...gotcha...I'd avoid DVD+R's...since the demand for that particular format is almost nil. Hope you solve it. Have a good one [Non-text portions of this...
... Right - if you're using iLife 05 you can burn to either +R or -R. If you're trying to play them on a reasonably new player, it's unlikely that would make a...
n addition to putting a lot of short movies on an iDVD project (menus, folders, etc.) is there a way to add a 'PLAY ALL' button - this could run all of your...
... You can do that by putting all your short movies into one long movie, and marking the individual movies with chapter markers. That might not give you...
... That's a bit of a stretch. +R media seems to be a bit more used in the PC world, but these days most drives support both plus and minus media so that bias...
