When you burn material to a DVD you can then play back that material in a DVD player without damaging the DVD.

I am trying to burn a dvd and it will not allow me to do this because it states that i do not have enough space for encoding disk. how do i free up space and from where?

iDVD can only use your startup hard disk for the "scratch space" it needs for calculations during the encoding process. 25 GB is a good average requirement, but a large project (3 or 4 hours of content) might require more.
To free up space, you will have to move items to an external hard drive and/or delete items you no longer want.
Please note that iDVD can't use and external hard drive for this "scratch space".

Burned a dvd but, it will not play on my dvd player for tv

I created a slideshow with itunes music added in iphoto. I tried the recommended free "burn for mac" software download. It burned a dvd but, this will not play on my dvd player for tv. What software title can i purchase that will burn my iphoto slideshow to a dvd that will play on typical home dvd player for tv AND on a windows pc?

some dvd players are very picky on what they will play some only
play dvd+r some only dvd-r some can't play dvd+rw and or dvd-rw
dvd burnable is a pretty fragmented std.

I purchased this to make DVD's and now I can not do that!!

This is a known issue. It really comes down to two key factors - what type of DVD are you burning to + what type of DVD player you have.
This article will help. It's lengthy and can be technical in some parts but should shed some light on your problem.

DOES BURNING DVD'S EAT UP DRIVE SPACE?

Hello people, I am having a small problem, can someone please help? Well the thing is that every time I burn a new DVD using iDVD I notice that it eats up my hard drive space. After I am done with the burning I make sure to delete the iDVD file that I worked on but my drive still stays full. Right before pressing the burn button I also save it to my external drive so that it wont take up space on my main drive but that still doesn't work. What should I do? My drive is full, plese help.

You need to free up some drive space in order to have a computer function properly. As soon as you have some good amount of available disk space, your troubles should be over. Try burning your DVD's from the Firewire drive instead, but you still need that free space in your boot drive. A full Hard Drive is like a clogged drain, you need to get rid of the stuff blocking it from doing its job.

Not even 1GB will burn to DVD

It's 800MB video, main page, and 2 pictures.
When I add the video and than try to burn it says:
Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window to Best Quality.

iDVD works by LENGTH of content (in minutes) - how long is your 800MB of video? What format is it in - not DV, I suspect.

Burning a dvd

I copied a VHS tape onto a DVD+R disc. Now I want to make an additional copy of the DVD disc I made from the vhs tape. Can someone please tell me if I use Imovie or Idvd to produce it?
Thanks(I'm very new at this)

Now I want to make an additional copy of the DVD disc I made from the vhs tape. Can someone please tell me if I use Imovie or Idvd to produce it?
iMovie does not "burn" DVDs so if your iDVD project has already been erased, your would have to go through the entire process of sending/opening your iMovie project in iDVD to re-create a DVD burn. If you still have the iDVD project, you can burn another DVD by simply pressing the "Burn" button. The mount of time the burn takes will depend on whether or not you have made an major changes to the project, whether these changes have already been re-encoded in the background, and/or how extensive/compext your menu is and how difficult it is to re-encode. If you previously created/saved an "Image" of your iDVD DVD, then you need only burn this image as many times as needed.
If you have a copy of the previously burned DVD available and other applications like Toast, then you can "copy-burn" your "original" DVD directly or burn a copy from the VIDEO_TS folder contained on the DVD. Another option would be to to drop your VIDEO_TS folder icon or DVD icon to a free utility like DVD Imager which can automatically create an image file from either source that can then be burned using Toast or Apple's Disk Utility application in your "Applications > Utilities" folder.
If you don't have any third-party applications, you can manually perform the same work flow entirely from within the Apple "Disk Utility" application. In this case,
1) Open the Disk Utility application
2) Press the New Image icon button
3) When the new window opens,
... a) Enter a "Save As:" name for the image file to be stored on your hard drive
... b) Enter a "Volume Name:" which is the name of your DVD
... c) Select an appropriate "Volume Size:" (e.g., 4.7 GB DVD option)
4) Wait for the image file to be created on your hard drive and then mounted
5) When the image file is mounted, open its window and "drag 'n drop" the AUDIO_TS, VIDEO_TS, and any other extraneous folders present to the Image file.
6) Once all files are copied to the Image file, return to Disk Utility and select the Image (".dmg") file in the list
7) With the Image file selected, press the "Burn" icon button and follow instructions for burning your DVD.
This work flow is generic and should work with any OS X Mac having the Disk Utility application which has been around for some time. Its advantage is that the image file you create can be used more or less like a "virtual DVD-RW" disk on your hard drive. If left on your drive, you can burn additional copies of the image any time you want and/or, depending on its location, it can be mounted and played back in applications like the Apple DVD Player or Front Row. Since the data is stored on your hard drive, it eliminates the need for two optical drives or the continuous switching of discs for copying DVDs using certain older DVD copy applications. When no longer needed, it can be deleted entirely, or its contents can be removed and the image file re-used in much the same way as any re-writable optical disc. The disadvantage is that it takes up space on your hard drive. Basically it is a trade off between convenience in your ability to access content and the space required to store it.

How to Make a Still from Video and Burning a DVD

Hello All,
I am using FCP HD and I would like to know how do you make a still photo from video footage?
Also I have to burn an editing project to dvd. I don't know how to use studio pro, but the person said that it needs to be a ntsc full resolution version. I am not sure what that means.
The project is about 10 minutes long and this person had me using the H.264. I have been playing around and I think I not doing something write because when I send the project to compressor it tells me that I have like 200+ hours befoe it outputs.
Could someone give me some simple instructions using the H.264 on how to do a good large size (over 320x240) QT movie to dvd?
THANKS...

To export a still park the playhead on the image you want, mark IN OUT, go to FILE>EXPORT>QUICKTIME CONVERSION. Click on QUICKTIME MOVIE and In the dropdown choose STILL IMAGE.
You will have to De-Interlace it in Photoshop after you export.
As for making the DVD:
Shane's Stock Answer #3:
To export your DV project so there is no loss in quality, simply go to the File Menu and select EXPORT>QUICKTIME MOVIE. Not Quicktime Conversion, fot this will compress the footage. Make sure the settings match your timeline settings, make it self contained and you are set.
Import this into iDVD or DVDSP and burn your DVD. Don't go the h.264 route.

Trouble encoding audio when burning to dvd

I have finished editing a nearly 2-hour long wedding video and all is going well, everything encodes fine until....it comes to my audio. I have now tried to burn this movie 7 times to dvd and EVERY time it freezes when it reaches the stage of encoding the audio. Any tips?
Message was edited by: Bri

Hello, trouble,
Welcome to the discussions. Sorry you are having so much trouble burning your DVD. What exactly do you see when you think it is freezing? Does it just look as if nothing is happening? Do you actually get a message that says there is a problem with the burn?
If you are using any version of iDVD prior to iDVD 8, I suspect that your audio is encoding fine and not really 'freezing'. It will LOOK as if everything has stopped, because the those versions did not include a 'time remaining' notice. You can see a small thumbnail of the menus encoding, and you can see the video of your movie as the video encodes, but when audio encoding is occurring, there is only a black square. Depending on your computer system, the process can take some time. I recommend that you just leave it alone, maybe overnight, and see if it is fine in the morning. On my older iMac, a nearly 2hr movie might take over 12 hours to finish encoding/burning.
I do recommend that do a 'save as disk image' for every iDVD project.
If you are not familiar with this process, it is the creation of a file that is an exact replica of your iDVD project. The encoding looks the same as it is occurring, but the end result is a disk image file, not a burned DVD disk. There are several reasons to do this: It can save you from wasting disks if there is something wrong that prevents a successful burn; you can view your disk image on your computer using the application DVD Player to view your project and see if it is ok; you can use the disk image for burning disks through Disk Utility (or Toast); and you can control the burn speed--should be 4x or less.
And, you now have a self-contained image file that you can save and from which you can burn disks in the future. Because it is self-contained, you can safely delete your iMovie and iDVD projects, thus saving drive space. Even though you can burn another DVD using one that you already have burned, the disk image file is a better backup. DVD disks can crack, break, melt, etc. and if you lose your copy, you will not be able to burn another.

I can't burn a DVD

I have Adobe Elements 10 on my windows 8 computer. For a year it was working fine, but ever since I had to go back to 8 after my computer updated to 8.1, the program won't let me burn DVD's. I have a connection to the burner and it goes through all of the encoding process but once it is done, I check the disc and there is nothing on it.

No, that is not what Steve said... when you are ready to publish/share to a DVD, you simply select a folder on your hard drive instead of burning a DVD
That folder will contain the exact file structure and files that you would burn to a DVD, only on your hard drive
You then use a program like Imgburn (which is aware of DVD structure) to burn to the actual DVD
Read http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1322583 for notes on installing Imgburn WITHOUT any toolbar add-ons... Set Imgburn to use the slowest burn speed your drive and media will use... I set my burn speed to 1x and let Imgburn adjust to the actual minimum

Best export options in QuickTime Pro to burn a dvd with?

I'm trying without luck to establish a workflow where i edit original content (combine image and sound, add credits) in QuickTime Pro then i need to burn the resulting movie to a dvd. This seems near to impossible.
I have finally figured out i need third party software to do more converting before it can be burned (i worry that every conversion robs a bit more quality - i had to do conversions initially to get my content from dvd given to me by the videographer or from my VHS-to-DVD converter into QT Pro, what a pain!). So i've got something called DVDFlick to convert into ISO image containing VOB structure, then use ImgBurn to actually burn the ISO image to cd, to get a playable dvd.
What i can't figure out is what is the proper format to export out of QT Pro? I tried DV/DVPRO and AVI both, but those resulted ultimately in audio skips on my commercial dvd players, as well as a movie that won't play the audio in Windows Media Player, but will in other DVD software players.
I was under the impression i needed to export as MPEG-2, but i can't find that anywhere in QT Pro export options. I notice there is an MPEG-2 add-on for Windows from Apple Store, but it only talks about playback from dvd, not going in the opposite direction like i am, where i want to save as MPEG-2 from Quicktime Pro. Please help make sense of all this
-steve

Sorry, but you cannot export from QuickTime as MPEG-2. As you discovered, the MPEG-2 Playback Component is, as the name implies, for playback only. You'll need to work with the developer of your DVD creation software to determine why you're getting audio skips. Normally a DV export works well, but as they say, your mileage may vary. Any export will depend on the quality of the source media. You may need to look into different software for creating and burning your DVDs if DVDFlick continues to give you problems.
Regards.

How do I create a wide screen movie in Premiere Elements 7 and burn to DVD or Blue Ray?

I have created a movie using project settings of 16:9 and also filmed in this format. The movie I burned to DVD is not in wide screen. I have requested assistance and given instructions to go through share and select Sony PSP. However this creates a file which is saved to my computer in mpeg-4 format which will not burn to my DVD. I am using a Blue Ray burner which looks as if it will only take MP3. Any suggestions?

I haven't actually done a BluRay yet - waiting to get everything right and,
hopefully, will be able to put more than 1 movie when all is finished!
That's my next challenge. I initially used Share/Disc to burn the DVD with,
I thought, all the settings for widescreen. It has always worked OK in
Pinnacle. When I lodged the problem with tech support they sent me
instructions using the Sony PSP. Interestingly I use a Sony camera, have a
Sony disc burner plus Sony TV and Playstation so you'd think they'd all talk
to each other!!!

Are your creating and burning your DVD (or is it a BluRay disc?) from
Premiere Elements by choosing Share/Disc?
If so, it should produce a widescreen disc.
Sometimes DVD players don't automatically read home-burned DVDs as
widescreen and you have to manually switch it. But at the very least the
video should be either letterboxed or stretched.

How to burn to DVD in Premiere Elements 8 to play on DVD recorder.

I'm using Premiere Elements 8 with Windows 7, quad core i760 and 8 GB RAM. When I burn a project to disc, it will play on this PC but the disc is not recognised on my XP PC nor by my DVD recorder. My guess is that I'm burning as an HD DVD but can't see any way of changing this. Can anybody point me in the right direction please?

Geoff, I think you're chasing the wrong issues. The least likely problem is that Premiere Elements is producing unreadable discs.
Have you burned your DVD files to a folder on a hard drive rather than directly to a disc?
Have you tried using DVD-Rs or DVD+Rs rather than DVD-RWs (which many DVD players can't read)?
Your source files -- no matter where they come from -- will have no effect in how your DVD plays. Once it's all been transcoded, it's a matter of your disc player reading your disc. If that's not happening, you need to troubleshoot whether this issue is a problem with the discs themselves, a problem with your DVD player or a problem or a problem with your burner.
Burning to a folder on your hard drive will eliminate Premiere Elements as the cause of the problem. If the program can produce a VIDEO_TS folder full of VOB files, then you know the problem is either in your discs or your hardware.

Idvd wont burn a DVD after Mountain Lion upgrade

After I upgraded to Moutain Lion, IMovie wont finish burning a DVD. It will start to go through the process and then eject the DVD, but it is not finished.
The menu says Cancel, instead of Done. I tried puy same DVD back in burner to see if it will finish the DVD but it does'nt.
Any one run into this issue yet??

Taiyo Yuden - are supposed to be top of quality - Can not get them here in Ultima Thule (Sweden) so I'm lost to Verbatim.
• On top Menu Row - go to GO then down to Library / Preferences - and You are in the right one.
And now You are in the right Library - Here try to find and move to Desktop/Finder.
com.apple.iMovie.plist
com.apple.iMovie3.plist
com.apple.iMovie7.plist
com.apple.iMovie8.plist
com.apple.iMovie9.plist
com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
and find
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top. (not all are there - but move what You find).
Now restart iMovie.
If You run Mac OS X.7 or more - then the Library in the User-account folder is invisibly and need to be set to be viewable. IT IS NOT in the Library on Root level (when opening MacintoshHD - first window = root level)
(Hidden files ----> It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter: chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )

Why do i keep getting error message while burning a DVD using iMovie footage?

I made an iMovie, loaded it into iDVD, watched it on my MacBook, tried to burn it and received an error message along the way saying that it couldn't continue. Another pop-up simultaneously said that I had to choose a source for my blank DVD-R. What am I missing?

How did you load it into iDVD?
The recommended way is to
1) in iMovie, use the Share menu to SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER in Large Size.
2) Open the Media Browser in iDVD (at lower right) and drag in the movie you just shared.
3) Set up any menus and such and burn your DVD.
Is that what you did?
