I use an iMac 24" for most of my computing needs as shown here:
Well, I finally had the need to use the iLife iDVD '09 edition to create a home video. So I got everything all edited, cut, spliced, and digified and began the burn process. Well, it was a large DVD I was creating and so would take many hours to convert and then burn. I learned that when this process is happening Mac OS X does not allow the screen saver to turn on nor does it allow my monitor to go to sleep. Well, you can probably guess that a little bit of screen burn-in (some might call it ghosting or ghost images) appeared.
This has been a huge annoyance and so to resolve it I natrually searched Apple's KB. I didn't find anything myself so I posted on the Apple Forums. A user by the name of den.thed found the solution I was looking for. I then implemented that solution and everything was resolved! Yeah!!!
For those that will read this who have the same issue you can find the solution here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2807?
For those who don't know how to make a huge white picture I've attached the one I made for your use here: WhiteBackSplash.jpg (42.29 kb)
I hope this helps others out here who have this problem. If you have further questions feel free to use the comment feature below!
