AntarcticP Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Hi, I've created a DVD in iDVD '08 on my P4 SSE2 computer running MacOsX 10.4.11 with a 8.9.1 kernel. iDVD is completely up to date! The DVD contains some menu's and photo slideshows. Everytime I trie to burn or make an image of the DVD, iDVD crashes when rendering the menu's. I read some reports on crashing on the apple site, saying that I had to use an older theme. Tried this, but also crash. So I started a new project in iDVD, just 1 menu and 5 photo's in a slideshow. I used an old theme, but still crash! This is the error message: Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001) Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0x020d8e00 Can someone help me, I don't know what causes this problem? Only reason I can think of would be my old SSE2 processor. Can someone with an older P4 SSE2 try burning a DVD? thanks, I really hope to burn this DVD cause I spent many hours on making it ...

AntarcticP Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 Hi again, I found the reason and a solution myself. I have a P4 3.06 Ghz processor with SSE2 and hypertreading enabled in the bios. While hypertreading works perfectly with MacOsX in all other applications, it's not working in iDVD while creating the menu's. I disabled HT in the BIOS and voila: the DVD I spent hours on is rendered on this moment. Happy ! I wish everyone a nice christmas !

Altece Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I have the same problem on my HP Pavilion dv8000 with Leopard (AMD) and cannot find this option in my BIOS. Is there anything else I can do? Maby I just don't know how to edit my BIOS. How do I do that exactly? I used the setup menu from bootup.

Colonel Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Do you guys have QE/CI? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/77184-idvd-on-p4-sse2-processor/#findComment-615370 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntarcticP Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hi Colonel, yes, I have QE/CI on my ATI x800xt card, thanks to Callisto. It's an AGP card, but only detected as PCI. Hi Altece, I don't know how you can disable HT on your motherboard. Normally you enter your bios options by pressing DEL on startup. I have this disable option, but of course I'm not sure you'll have it. succes Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/77184-idvd-on-p4-sse2-processor/#findComment-615691 Share on other sites More sharing options...
