Is there any way to get around having to use iDVD to burn DVD?

Is there any way to get around having to use iDVD to export FCE to DVD?
I've been trying to burn a FCE2 sequence to DVD. A friend of mine told me all I had to do was put a blank DVD in, click on the icon on the desk top, export the sequence to Quicktime and drag the QT sequennce into the DVD icon and click burn.
Well something happened! But there's nothing on the DVD!! What am I doing wrong? I loathe iDVD. i don't want to author. I just want to burn the project on a DVD. Please advise. Thanks.

If you export a sequence at full resolution to can burn it onto a DVD as a data DVD, but this is for transportation purposes only. At full resolution the DVD, especially as it fills up, will not have sufficient throughput to sustain good playback of the material. That's why the material is encoded into MPEG-2 for DVD authoring. If you want to make a DVD for set-top playback it has to be authored to include the DVD format structure. There is no way around that. If you don't like iDVD, take a look at Final Cut Studio, you might prefer DVD Studio Pro. Or you might what to look at Roxio's Toast. It has basic authoring capabilities. Personally I don't think direct playback hardware solutions (except for seriously expensive ones) produce acceptable quality, but that's just me.

  • I'm having trouble with installing a 8g kit in my late 2009 mac mini. when the parts are installed all i get is a beeping sound, is there any way to get around this?

    i'm having trouble with installing a 8g kit in my late 2009 mac mini. when the parts are installed all i get is a beeping sound, is there any way to get around this?

    What is the source & link to this 8 GB kit please?
    Can you count the beeps or flashes?
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    5 beeps = processor is not usable
    In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
    Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

  • Is there any way to get around using iTunes.7 with a Nano (secnd gen)?

    I, like many others received a pretty new Nano from Santa, but was disappointed to find that.. it doesn't seem to be usable!
    I have a iMac (os x 10.2.8) and a iBook G4 (os x 10.3.7)
    BUT as I'm sure you're aware, I can't update the iTunes on either to version 7 because it's only compatible with 10.3.9 or higher..
    As I am only a poor design student, there is no way I can afford a new os, so my question is really, what the subject said, is there any way I can get around using iTunes to put music on my iPod? or am I pretty much screwed?
    Any suggestions would be really aprechiated! I just want to be able to use it!
    Thanks

  • Is there any way to get around the 2.0 Ghz Intel core Duo proceser? My computer has a 1.83 Ghz Intel Core Duo. I TV needs 10.2 I Tunes which I cannot load on my computer. Need your help please

    I have a 1.83 Ghz Intel Core Duo Proceser that will not except the 10.2 I Tunes software. Is there any way that I can get around this issue short of buying a IPad.

    You just needed an excuse for that iPad, right?

  • Is there any way to get around startup login?

    I recently resurrected a crashed G4 hard drive by connecting it to another computer in target mode, and fixing the hard drive with Disk Utility.
    However, when I then restarted the G4, I was asked for a username and password, even though I've never had a password-protected log-in on this machine before.
    I've tried evey previous username / password combo I can think of, but none of them work, so now I'm stuck with a machine that boots up, but won't allow me to log in. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

    If you just access that disk as a data Disk or using Firwire Target disk Mode (instead of starting up from it) no password should be needed.
    The usual way to get around a password is to reset that password. The tool to do that is on the Installer DVD.
    Start up from the DVD, but do not install.
    Answer only the "what language" question, if presented.
    Wait a quarter minute for the menuBar to be drawn.
    Choose reset password off one of the Menus.
    Reset the password.
    Notes: this destroys the old password and replaces it with the new one, so it is not the slightest bit "sneaky".
    The DVD is required, otherwise any 10-year old could do it.

  • Is there any way to get around the arbitrary ban on repeating a password within a year?

    I just want to figure out how to change my password to one that was my password less than a year prior. Why is this requirement in place when Apple has no requirement that passwords be changed annually? It seems that any added security benefit would be negligible and the mandate is excessive and unwarranted. Is there any way to avoid this requirement?

  • Is there any way to get around the limitations caused by having to use FAT32 with Airport Extreme (32-Gb usable on 1-Tb drive)?

    Why offer AirPort Extreme as a PC solution and limit it to FAT32? It's virtually good only for thumb drives? It's a waste of time and money with the 32-Gb limit of FAT32. 32-gb thumb drives are inexpensive and portable. They can easily be moved from PC to PC. In my opinion, there is no discernable value to the Windows user. We can already share printers and USB drives in our home networks.
    I was hoping to get faster, more reliable access from my iPad to a USB drive that stores my music. Works fine with a thumb drive, but the 32-Gb limit is a deal breaker. Here's hoping someone can offer a solution.I do have a usable copy of Partion Magic.

    Sorry that this may not seem like an ideal solution, but one option is to use an application that runs on a Windows PC that allows you to format HDDs for HFS+. Once formatted as such, it can be shared out to either OS X, Windows, or Linux users from an AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule. HFS+, like NTFS, supports much larger HDDs.

    I made a 3-minute movie with my iphone 4S. When I attempt to share it via email or message I get a message that says it is too long, that I should try to make a clip. Of course I had rather send the whole thing. What are the possibilities? I think my music and likely my videos and pictures are in the cloud.

  • Is there any way to get around the issue of AE7 and Lion OS not working together?

    I use AE7 for graduate studies and business and just can't understand why it won't work together.

    Why?  Because Adobe has other priorities, in simplest terms.  As with most commercial software producers, Adobe is looking to maximize their profits while their software developers are constrained to operate and optimize within their available development budgets, and also while delivering the corporate plans and schedules set by Adobe management.
    What to do for this case?  Migrate off of the Adobe software, migrate off of Mac OS X, deploy a virtual machine or Boot Camp (with Snow Leopard) and Adobe After Effects, or wait for Adobe to sort this out.  For sufficiently large-scale customers of Adobe, they can chat directly with Adobe management around whether a bounty will expedite the work.  (These are the usual answers, of course.)

  • Any way to get around having to re-authorize?

    I don't know if it is a time period or how many times I've updated my iPod, but it annoys me very much when I update my iPod and it says that some songs could not be uploaded because they were not authorized. So I have to go find those songs, re-authorize, them update the iPod again.
    Is there a setting or something I can do that I only have to authorize it once? It really discourages me from wanting to buy more music from iTunes if I am going to have to re-authorize this often.

  • HT1212 my phone screen is broken and I bought a new phone but I want to get everything off my old phone. It will not sync to i tunes because it has a passlock on it. Is there any way to get passed this?

    My iphone screen and lock button are broken, I bought a new phone and want to get all the information off my old phone. My old phone will not sync with itunes because it has a pass code on it. I have no way to enter the pass code. Is there any way to get around this so I can still retrieve my information from it?

    If you are using the computer that you normally sync with, it should sync without entering the passcode. However, if this is not the computer you normally sync with, you cannot get past the passcode, it has to be entered.

  • I have an 06' macbook and I just bought an 07' macbook.. The 06' has os x 10.6 but the 07' has 10.5.. I no longer have the disk for snow leopard. Is there ANY way to get snow leopard from the old computer to the other without having to buy it again?

    Technical issues aside, there's still a legal issue.
    Neither 2006 nor 2007 MacBooks shipped with Snow Leopard 'factory' installed. OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard became available in September 2009. So you purchased and installed a Snow Leopard upgrade disc on the 2007 system at some point.
    If your Snow Leopard upgrade was a single-user copy, then legally, you need to purchase another one for the second computer. If your Snow Leopard upgrade was a Family Pack 5-user license, then you're good to go.

    If you have an active MobileMe account, Apple was giving away a single-user upgrade copy of Snow Leopard for a limited time, and you should have received an email with a link, or been offered the opportunity when you signed in to your MobileMe account on the web:
    http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/24/free-snow-leopard-discs-for-mobileme-users-n ow-arriving/
    Worst case, single-user Snow Leopard upgrade discs are $29 retail, direct from Apple. I'd hate to have two computers and no OS installation CD's for whatever version I'm currently using.

  • Is there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows? You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes.

    s there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows?
    You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes. You may get the following message: 
    iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
    You can click Yes to continue downloading additional episodes. Or you can just listen to any part of any episode and a new episode will download at the next update.

    I believe that feature was added in order to reduce wasted costs to the Podcaster.
    Podcasts incur costs - that have to be paid for, by someone. That cost will be the cost of hosting the Podcast on a server somewhere and more crucially (with regard to your point), the cost of the Podcast being downloaded to your computer. Every download costs the Podcaster money (typically, charged by bytes downloaded).
    If that Podcaster pays for the whole thing personally, obviously they want to keep down any unnecessary cost to themselves. If the Podcaster is earning money for his or her Podcast (typically from advertising within the programme) then obviously, the advertiser only wants to pay for advertisements heard by listeners. So a download, not heard by the downloader, is waste of the Podcaster's money or no payment from the advertiser.
    My own experience is that I only have to resume downloading once per programme. I'm usually several episodes behind on two different Podcasts that I follow, but I do not recall having to repeat the resume Podcast after that first time.

    I uninstalled iWork 09 and lost the install disc - is there any way to get it back?

    That doesn't sound like a wise thing to have done.
    At this point having lost your software purchase, the quickest way will be to purchase and install it from the Mac App Store. It is not expensive and can then be installed on multiple Macs using the same Apple I.D.
