When you get this error, you will need to make sure that title music is on when you are burning slideshows with iDVD.
2. "The media is not the right type for the requested operation"
When you get this error, it is because you are using a DVD+R disk instead of a DVD-R. Most Macs use DVD-R exclusively.

When this happens, it could be because the DVD disc you are using is damaged or is too high speed. You will need to try burning with a different DVD disc.
