Fitting FCP movies onto a DVD

Hi
I have 6 movies (all final cut pro quicktime movies) I want to place all on one DVD
movie#1 = 3.4 gigs
movies #2 to #6 = 1.5 gigs each
What is the easiest way to capture them all on the same 4.7 DVD R?

...... ok, 105min, you sure want some menu, buttons, music, fancy eye candy.. ;-)
I'll support that. I used Pass Through theme and there was so much animation, that I had to turn some menus off to fit 3.4GB of images and movies on a single-layer DVD-R. Motion Menus was 13:37 of 7:30, for a total project of 119:50. I got it on.

    That's a proprietary interface.
    Odds are there is no adapter. Ask Sony.

  • Burning Purchased Movies onto a DVD

    If I purchase and download a movie from the iTunes store, can I burn that movie to a DVD the same way that a burn or back-up my music to a CD? Also, if I put the movie onto a DVD, will it play in a DVD player?

    Not exactly, to anyone reading the Terms of Service, it's not all that apparent really. Here's what the Terms say:
    "(vi) You shall not be entitled to burn video Products or ring tone Products.
    (vii) You shall be entitled to export, burn (if applicable) or copy (if applicable) Products solely for personal, noncommercial use. "
    To me, this just tells me that I can't burn video products, but then contradicts itself saying that I CAN burn video products, but only for personal use (in other words, the standard rules of not reselling or distributing videos, as all videos state in the beginning)...
    I did read the Terms before making those purchases, and they are not very clear. So with this in mind, I do blame Apple for not stating the terms more clearly...

  • I burned a movie onto a DVD-R, but can't be played on my macbook, why is that?

    I burned a movie onto a DVD-R from my macbook, but can't be played on my macbook, why is that?

    What program did you use to burn the DVD? What format is the movie in? What happens when you insert the DVD into the MBP?

  • Fitting four hours onto a DVD?

    Hello all.
    Is there any way using Compressor to fit four hours of video onto a DVD?
    When i try to compress, it gives me a maximum amount of something lie 174 minutes at a CBR of 2.
    Any advice?
    Thanks.

    I created a custom compression setting that allowed me to get 4 hours onto a single DVD5 (the 4.7gig single layer DVDs). However, the footage looked absolutely terrible.
    It is much better to go with the 150 Min compression and put it on a Dual Layer DVD (DVD9: 8.5gigs of space).
    Hope that helps!

  • How can I get 20 different movies onto one dvd and have them play consecutively?

    I am having a hard time converting all of the videos I've taken of my kids from my iphone onto a dvd. I would like the videos to play consecutively as if we were watching home movies from our regular video recorder. How can I convert my videos to one dvd?

    If the total playing time for all of the videos is less than 120 minutes create a slideshow in iDVD and add the movies to it in the order you want them to play.  Select any slide duration time except manual.  Do not add any music to the slideshow as it will override the audio in the video files and do not add any transition as it won't be a smooth transition.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • ?? burn multiple iMovie movies onto one dvd with iDVD

    I understand how to burn a single iMovie project onto a dvd by using the share menu to share with iDVD. But how can i burn multiple iMovie projects with iDVD onto one disc??

    You can share the first movie from iMovie, but all the others will need to be exported from iMovie as movies and dragged into the iMovie project.

  • Burning a movie onto a dvd

    I made a 4 minute movie on imovie. I want to burn it onto a dvd so it can be viewed on a dvd player or on another computer. How do I do it?

    You need to use an authoring program to burn a DVD disk that can be played on both computers and DVD players. That is what the iLife application iDVD is designed to do. Use it. The basic process is that you open iDVD and create a new project. You will need to select standard or widescreen. Once iDVD opens, go to its Preferences and select PAL or NTSC depending on where you live. In the US, you need to use NTSC. Next choose a theme. Then use the Movies tab to locate your iMovie and drag/drop your iMovie into the main menu of iDVD. You can customize the font type, size and color in your iDVD project. When you have finished editing the project, you can either create a disk image file of it and burn disks from that using Disk Utility, or you can just insert a blank DVD disk and burn it directly.
    Be sure to use a good brand of DVD disk such as Verbatim, Maxell, Sony or Taiyo Yuden; not store brands, TDK or Memorex.
    Also, select a burn speed of 4x or less.
    Have a look at the iDVD tutorial for the version you are using so that you can learn how to use iDVD:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ilife/tutorials/idvd/index.html
    This one is for iDVD 6, but iDVD 8/9 are not that different.

  • Burning a movie onto a DVD+RW ??

    How come when I burn a movie on my DVD+RW, it works when I play it through my mac laptop computer, but it doesn't work in my DVD player???
    Do these require two different disks or something?

    one of my older set top dvd players also has issues with rw (and/+ plus) media. not uncommon. I think it's because some RW's have a lower reflective surface than standard dvd-r (and again this varies by brand /manufacturer). so yes, this can happen.

  • Burning 2 quicktime movies onto one DVD using iDVD

    I wonder if you could help me.
    I have 2 Quick time movies - created in FCP - one hour and 10 mins each . Is it possible to put both on one DVD using iDVD? (one is the front view and other side view of a performance).
    I have version 5.0.2 iDVD and am burning on desktop G5
    Both movies have chapter markers (created already in FCP)
    Is it possible to do this and how do I do it using the right menu and proper theme etc- and right method of importing or loading the movies.
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks

    Hello Nan,
    a Single Layer DVD can hold a maximum of 120 min of video (incl. menus), so either you burn 2 SL DVDs or try to put both movies on a Double Layer DVD, provided you have a burner capable of writing DL DVD.
    how do I do it using the right menu and proper theme etc- and right method of importing or loading the movies.
    I suggest you have a look at this tutorial by Ken Stone: Authoring with iDVD 5

  • IMovie won't share/export my project as it says 'not enough disk space' - how on earth do I get this movie onto a DVD?

    I really hope someone can help me please?
    I have a 16GB iPad and have created a really nice wedding DVD for my sister.  It consists of about 20 mins worth of video clips and 25 mins of images set to music with movement between slides etc.  I have cleared absolutely everything off that's possible from my memory and I can't seem to get the iMovie project off my iPad!  My storage says that 8.7GB is taken up by iMovie and I've deleted all photos from my camera roll as iMovie can run the project without them, it doesn't cope without the video clips though (tried that!)
    I hve now tried exporting to iTunes and it says I don't have enough disk space - I don't understand how it can't just lift the project off my iPad without having to consume yet more storage?  I have also tried exporting to camera roll trying 1080pHD - too big.  It started on the 710pHD and got all the way through exporting (around 30 mins) and then at the end told me I didn't have enough disk space.  Funnily enough, iMovie was only taking up around 6GB of space prior to this, so it's storing this failed attempt to export some how but I can't see how I can get rid of that.
    I am heartbroken that I've spent three months doing this and now can't transport it from my iPad by seeminly any means possible.  I don't want to just give up.  I've seen other threads that say 'go to my computer and look in the DCIM folder and it's there... but it's not.  All the video clips are there but not the actual project. 
    Any help anyone can give would be so much appreciated.  Is there a way I can do this without essentially having to give up on apple products and buy some video editing software for my PC. Which isn't a MAC by the way.  As you can tell, I was hoping to screen this movie on Christmas day for the family :-(

    Are any of your apps video players? Some app store apps contain a file you can't see which saves logs of everything you do. Say if you have had an iPhone for 4 months and watched 50 videos with a video player these 50 videos may have been copied to the log file inside the application and may be what is using up all your disk space. Delete all video player applications from your iPhone.
    If that doesn't solve the problem copy the photos to your computer and restore your iPhone with iTunes back to factory settings and when you have restored DO NOT "restore from back up" because that might restore whatever is causing the problem instead DO "set up as new iPhone". Once you've set up your iPhone sync apps, books music, photos...etc back to the device.

  • What standalone DVD player will play meg-4 files/movies? I.e. I want to burn a few of my converted movies onto a DVD disc

    Is there a standalone DVD player that will play mpeg-4 files? I convert movies etc so I can put them into iTunes to watch on my iPad, apple tv etc......but want to get a DVD player that will also play those files..... But can't seem to find one.
    Does one exist?
    I bought a player from Maplins which said on the front of the player mpeg-4 but doesn't even see the files.....it plays avi movies fine.
    Can anybody help!
    Thanks,

    Why does it need to be a DVD Player? Would one of these not be better?
    http://www.ebuyer.com/274064-cyclone-micro-2-mkv-player-cyclone-micro-2-player
    Or one of its competitors. Plays almost any video format you can throw at it, straight from a USB stick or Memory Card (so no burning of disks just to watch a movie once).

  • How do I move my iMovie movie onto a dvd that will play in a dvd player w/o idvd?

    Hi
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.
    Free solutions:
    Burn - a free alternative from Internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    Gives a fairly good resulting Video-DVD
    Free DVD Creator.app - free from Apple Store
    (very simple - Quality ?? not sure - looked problematic reg. Interlacing)

  • Help! I can't burn my movie onto a dvd.

    Everything works fine, until it gets to the part where it says encoding audio, and then it just stops working, and it says iDVD is not responding. Does anyone know how to fix this, or why this is happening?

    Rich is correct.
    This question is frequently asked!
    iDVD is probably not 'hanging'. Disregard any messages that iDVD is not responding. It is. Do not force quit.
    Encoding audio is the slowest part of rendering, and can take many hours. Great patience, even an intermittent alternative hobby, is called for.
    Make sure no other application is running, make sure you have not set the hard disk to go to sleep and that the screen saver will not come on. Leave it overnight, or have a 36 hole game of golf.
    Sooner or later iDVD will finish!

  • How to burn movie onto DVD???

    I have made a movie that is about 5 minutes long. All I want to do is burn it onto a DVD so that it plays like a typical DVD movie. In other words, when I insert the DVD into a computer or DVD player, it just plays.
    I tried making a Quicktime movie out of it at full quality but when I burned it onto a DVD, all of the text in the titles came out badly jagged. I tried sharing it with iDVD but it wanted me to create themes and other stuff that was way more complex than I wanted.
    How do I burn my movie onto a DVD so that it just starts playing on a DVD player or on a computer?
    Thank you!

    It sounds like you have a burning application besides iDVD. You can skip the Export step by using the existing Quicktime version of your movie to see if that helps your titles (right click your iMovie and Show Package Contents; look in the Shared/iDVD folder and drag that Quicktime movie to the menu area of Roxio Toast or whatever you're using). Small fonts with curly elements don't work well; try a san serif font like Arial or Helvetica and make it large.
    Converting video into a format for set-top players is fairly complex work for the computer and some of that requires user decision-making. One idea is to get one of the "Missing Manual" series by David Pogue. You'll get lots of ideas and his explanations are decent. A number of people post here wanting an autoplay DVD -- iDVD can do that, but menus can add another level of enjoyment to your project.
