Playing MP3 DVD from Mac on Windows

Does anyone know if an MP3 playlist burned to DVD from iTunes on a Mac, will play on a current Dell running recent Windows XP with iTunes?

Were the MP3s just burned to the DVD as data files?
If so, I can't think of any reason why they wouldn't
play in Windows.
I am yet to burn the DVD and did not know if the MP3 setting would burn a DVD since it is only labeled as CD. As an MP3 setting, I expect the resulting disc (let's say a CD to simplifiy this point) would be formatted for both Mac & Windows especially since some portable MP3 players will not play Mac OS extended (as I understand it).
However, a data file could be another matter. It would be most appropriate for Apple to format a data file burn also for both Mac & Windows but I was not sure if they had. Thus my question. I know of no way to check on my Mac, if the resultant disc has Joliet since once it recognizes Mac OS extended, it only reports that format even on discs I know are hybrids.
Anyone know how to check if a disc formated with Mac OS extended is also formated with Windows format?

    PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP
    CAN I PLAY A DVD FROM MY MAC ON TO MY TV BY CONNECTING IT SOME HOW ?

    Hi
    Does Your Mac have a S-video out ? Some does.
    The way to connect isn't easy or straight forward - I use a S-VHS VCR in between
    and now one can buy a DVD-player for less than $75-50 I wonder if it's really
    worth the hazzle.
    Playback from iMovie via FireWire and an Analog/Digital box to TV is one way
    but then the DVD has to be converted to streamingDV.
    iDVD can't deliver out to FireWire
    DVD-player not so either
    And PLEASE ! Don't shout (using capital letters = Shouting on e-media)

    How can i play pc dvd on mac pro. Latest update

    If it contains Windows software, you need to use Windows, CrossOver Mac, or Wine. If not, it depends on the file types it contains.

  • How do I change my Ipod from mac to windows format??

    How do I change my Ipod from mac to windows format?? My Imac is not working at the moment, but I want to use my Ipod on my PC. How do I get my Ipod(mac formated) to get work on my PC??

    Use iTunes on the PC to restore the iPod, or install XPlay on the PC without changing the format. Restoring the iPod will erase everything on it.

  • I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.

    I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.  The movie plays fine on the macbook if I'm not trying to airplay.  The airplay works fine if I'm not trying to play a movie from the superdrive.  I think my apple TV is Gen 2.

    If you get a checkerboard pattern it's because Apple block Airplay Mirroring of protected media.
    VLC Player may work.

  • Copying files from Mac to Windows-invalid file names

    Unfortunately, my boss likes Windows more than Macs, so we have puchased some new Dell computers to replace older G4 Macs.
    I'm having trouble copying existing files from a Mac (OS 10.4)to the shared drive on the Windows XP computer. I'm getting an error message:
    "You can't copy the item 'filename' because the name is too long or includes characters that the disk can't display." Sometimes it doesn't give a filename, it gives a similar message "Some items couldn't be copied..."
    I assume the person has used some "illegal" file names such as "Meeting minutes 10/7/07" Or maybe we have too many folders inside of folders.
    QUESTION: Is there a correct/better way to copy large quantites of files/folders from Mac to Windows? Or is there a program that will look at the Mac files and alert me to wrong or too long files names?
    Other ideas to copy these files?
    thanks,
    Bill

    You can use a freeware utility like Renamer4Mac or BatchRename'em both of which have built-in filters that will rename files for Windows compatibility.
    Thank you... This sounded to me like it would fix the problem, so I downloaded both and looked at them. However, the manual/help file is very sparse, so I don't know if it will do what I want to and how it would do it.
    1. I couldn't find any option in either program to: Look at all files in selected folder, and list any invalid file names for Windows.
    2. There doesn't seem to be an option to "rename files without bad Windows characters" or "Remove invalid for Windows characters"
    I just couldn't find any explanation of how it was offering to rename the files. I can't rename all files to sequential names, that would make it hard to find a file later.
    Thank you,
    Bill

  • Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

    Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

    If you want a cross-platform solution that doesn't require the use of third-party software, use an external drive with hardware encryption. The device will have either a physical key or a numeric keypad. I don't have a specific recommendation.

  • Mapping fonts from Mac to Windows in CS4

    What is the most efficient process to map fonts in multiple documents opened from Mac to Windows?
    Currently we are working on 600+ documents that we need to convert to Windows from Mac. Every time we open a new document, the missing fonts dialog comes up. We replace the fonts. However, it appears there's no provision to automatically do this for every new opened document without manually going through this process each time!
    Couldn't find any reference to this issue in Help, KB, forum. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    OK guys, here's where we are now: apparently there's no way to batch process multiple documents without going each time through the "missing fonts" dialog. However, we were able to make this process as short as possible by using "load character styles" for each document when opened.
    And it's possible to do this across the network.
    Going through "load character styles" and synchronizing two documents [the saved one and the latest opened one], we are able to at least map the fonts consistently from doc to doc. This operation is still time consuming, especially considering the large number of docs we have to process.
    I'm going to look into the scripting option if there's a way to automate this process.
    The same synchronization process could be done by using the "book" option. But that involves again manually adding documents to the book one-by-one.

  • Switching from Mac to Windows with no CD

    Yes, I too fell in love at first sight with the nano, and will be giving my mini to my boyfriend (who got it for me in the first place). He uses PCs and Windows.
    I did a search on reformatting the mini from Mac to Windows but all the answers seemed to involve installing the iPod for Windows software. I don't seem to have this anymore, and Apple helpfully doesn't provide it for download.
    Sooo...how is my boyfriend to reformat my mini for PC? Will just plugging it into a machine loaded with iTunes for Windows do it?
    Sorry if this is an often asked question; maybe what I should be asking is where or whether I can get the iPod for Windows software. Will whatever is provided with the nano work for the mini on a PC?

    Download the latest version of iTunes and the iPod software updater onto the PC. Install iTunes, then the iPod software updater. Then run the iPod software updater, connect the mini when told, and choose to restore.

  • Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 transfer license from mac to windows

    Hello,
    In 2011, I bought a license 'adobe Creative Suite 5.5' (students) for a mac.
    My Macbook crashed again and I want to switch to a PC.
    Is it possible to switch my license from mac to windows?
    Thanks 

    No. that only applies to "current" versions, meaning CS6. You will have to buy the commercial CS6 upgrade and make the switch or just buy a new license if you are still eligible for S&T pricing.

  • Formatting 3rd Gen ipod from Mac to Windows

    Hello.
    I need to format a 3rd Gen iPod from Mac to windows for my Father in Law.
    So please can anyone tell what the process is?
    Many thanks,

    The iPod is formatted for both PC and Mac, I used to use mine with a PC, bought a Mac, plugged it in and it worked with the Mac no problem. I'm not sure that this works both ways though, if you're having problems you could try this link for help: http://ipod.about.com/od/restoreandreformatipod/a/ipod_reformat.htmhttp://

  • Converting file names from Mac to Windows.

    I am an Apple tech at a university that uses both PCs and Macs. We have found that we run into some problems when transferring a user's data from one platform to the other.
    When transferring lots of files, what do you experienced Mac techs use for safely converting file names from Mac to Windows?
    From Windows to Mac?
    We've tried NameCleaner and ended up with bad results.
    Please let me know if there is something good out there for these conversions.
    ---Timothy

    The problem looks like this:
    1. User wants to switch from Mac to Windows.
    2. We back up the data from his Mac to a server (an X-Serve RAID).
    3. We log into the server from Windows.
    4. We try to pull his data from the server.
    During this data transfer, it quits with an error stating that it can't finish copying the data. I wish I had the exact text, but I don't. It does this repeatedly, and stops on different files from different locations.
    In essence, without "cleaning" the Mac file names, data transfer to Windows cannot successfully complete. It quits on certain Mac file names. In the past, NameCleaner has worked sometimes, but now we have had some issues with NameCleaner (which don't matter in this discussion). The goal is to find a better solution than NameCleaner.
