Burning your DVD
Burning is as easy as having a super drive, inserting a burnable DVD into your drive, clicking the burn button on a completed project and then waiting, waiting, waiting. It is best to quit other programs while burning because iDVD uses a hefty load of resources and in previous releases of iDVD, crashes often occurred. A crash can sometimes render a DVD unusable.
Things to keep in mind during burning:
- iDVD uses a high percentage of system resources
- Quit other applications
- Do not let your computer go to sleep mode
- iDVD may fail to burn if it goes to sleep
- SleepLess can stop your computer from going to sleep
- On iSchool computer SleepLess is located in the applications folder
Don’t forget to turn motion on, and be sure and leave yourself adequate time to complete burning your project to a DVD. Depending on the speed of your computer and the size of your project it could take up to 3 or more hours for iDVD to complete asset encoding and burning. You can monitor the progress of the burn by choosing the iStatus button that is accessible via the customize button. Now that you have finished, enjoy your fresh, awesome, and new DVD!
