After burning movie onto dvd it won't play on players despite being compatible (-R and -RW) the disc is either not recognised or it only plays audio. Am I missing a stage in finalising the movie onto DVD? The movies is 30mins long.

DvD burned with project from iMovie not playing back on compatible players.  Aaaargh!

Hi
There are several things that do this:
- Brand of DVD used
- Type of DVD used
- BURN SPEED
- Material used
- Free space on Start-Up Hard Disk
I use:
Verbatim, SL-DVD-R, x2 max x4 Burn Speed and never less than 25Gb free space on Macintosh HD
Material:
- Video Codec: StreamingDV, AIC or HDV
- Photo file format: .jpg - NEVER .bmp or other - all converted to this
- AUDIO file format: - .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz (as on Audio-CDs) - NO .mp3 or DIRECT FROM iTUNES ! - all converted to .aiff
Then I've near to Zero problems.
Yours Bengt W

    After burning a successful DVD in iDVD out of FCPX, how can I see the settings it used?
    So I finally burned a DVD out of a Apple Pro Res file into iDVD in PAL format. My question now is how can I find out what the exact burn properties were so that I can apply the same burn properties to a project in Compressor 4?
    Is it possible to see what iDVD did?

    I don't know any way you can interrogate iDVD to reveal settings to the extent that you can in a Compressor project. What you could do is open up the show's VOB in MPEG STreamclip, go to File and Reveal Stream Information; that will at least give you some rudimentary info like average bit rate. Perhaps someone, with more iDVD experience, can chime in here.
    The broader question is why use Compressor at all if your current workflow is doing the job to your satisfaction?
    The value of Compressor is that it gives you control over the many parameters that affect size quality.  and playability. The Compressor presets can give you a starting point for DVD delivery, Web, etc. From those presets, people typically experiment by adjusting the parameters until they get the desired results for their specific show. It's a little bit science and a little bit art. After experimenting, you may be able to get slightly better quality for the project you've successfully burned in iDVD by using Compressor and something likeToast…or maybe not.
    Good luck.

    Why don't you ask this question on the iDVD forum?

  • I recently bought 13" mbp 2012 and I noticed that I only got 2HRS max and the only thing Im doing is watch movies on VLC and surf the net. How long does you mbp battery last?

    I recently bought 13" mbp 2012 and I noticed that I only got 2HRS max and the only thing Im doing is watch movies on VLC and surf the net. How long does you mbp battery last?

    That listed 7 hours is with very limited use. Low screen brightness, low keyboard backlight, No WiFi or bluetooth.
    Most I have ever gotten from my 15" 2011 model is around 5-6 hours and that was with very light use. Just Web, Chrome, and email, thunderbird, and Wifi.

  • Started a similar string before.  When I select a recipient in Messages on my Macbook Pro the name shows up in red and says the recipient is no longer registered on iMessage.  I know that they are registered.  Is there a problem with Contacts?

    Started a similar string before.  When I select a recipient in Messages on my Macbook Pro the name shows up in red and says the recipient is no longer registered on iMessage.  I know that they are registered.  Is there a problem with Contacts possibly.  The previous help has been appreciated but the problem persists.

    Hi,
    Try iMessaging your own iPhone and see if your account is actually logged in.
    It can appear "enabled" and On line but sometimes it is not.
    Also try sending from your iPhone (number) to your Apple ID and see if it gets to the Mac.
    If it does not use the Sign Out button.
    Then shut down the Mac
    On restart add back the Apple ID to the iMessages account settings.
    I also just checked My wife's iPhone as she popped up red.
    It turned out her iPhone did not have Messages On.

  • I backed up my iphone 4 and did an upgrade and changed my Apple ID and password but my phone has not recognised the new ID to upgrade my apps via the iphone.

    I backed up my iphone 4 and did an upgrade and changed my Apple ID and password but my phone has not recognised the new ID to upgrade my apps via the iphone.  How do I get rid of the old Apple ID when it comes to upgrading apps.
    I have been into setting>store and signed out and signed back in and it still asks for old ID and password.

    Everything you've had up to now has been tied to your old Apple ID. You cannot switch it over to a new Apple ID. You should contact iTunes support to help you with this:

  • HT4437 I am using iOS 7.0.4 and since the upgrade, I no longer have the airplay function/icon!!! HELP!

    I am using iOS 7.0.4 and since the upgrade, I no longer have the airplay function or icon on my iPad.  I want to use the AppleTV with the iPad in my classroom, but the Airplay icon is gone from the Controll.  Can anyone help me to fix this PLEASE? I have updated the software on the AppleTV, and both the AppleTV and iPad are on the same network.  I also restarted the router!  Still no icon for the Airplay.

    If I can't get my contacts and calendar to sync, half of the reason I have a smart phone is gone.
    Rather than switching to Apple, use a smartphone that WILL sync with your calendar and contacts - a Windows or Android phone.  iPhones do sync with Apple products nearly flawlessly, but they don't play nice with other OS's.
    Android works well with Google; and Windows works well with, well, Windows and Microsoft products.  Android and Windows do cooperate somewhat.

  • My daughter and I both have iPhone 4s'.   Last night she switched to ios7 and I am still using ios6.  I use the find my iPhone app to keep track of her and since the update it no longer works.  Her phone says its on. ???

    My daughter and I both have iPhone 4s'.   Last night she switched to ios7 and I am still using ios6.  I use the find my iPhone app to keep track of her and since the update it no longer works.  Her phone says its on but when I try and locate it from either my phone or laptop it shows it offline.  Any suggestions.  It's my only peace of mind! Thanks!

    Does she have her own iCloud account?  You can have more than one iCloud account installed on a device, and some users install a secondary iCloud account which is common to others in the family to allow "Find My iPhone" to be used from one account while keeping separate iCloud contacts, mail, etc.
    But with iOS 7 although you can still have multiple iCloud accounts installed, only the "primary" iCloud account supports "Find my iPhone".  So if her iCloud account is the primary, you can no longer track her from your iCloud account.  Is that what happened in your case?

  • IOS 6.0.1 Safari won't play audio files. Error: "Cannot play audio file."

    I recently updated my iPad to iOS 6.0.1, now Safari won't play audio files in any format. Error: "Cannot play audio file." Previously, it worked fine. I tried downloading and using GoogleChrome and Opera Mini, and these also won't play audio. What's up??

    Solved the problem. It seems that once iOS 6.0.1 installed, it caused all of my browsers to mishandle audio files. When I reset the iPad, that cleared up the problem.
    Before upgrading to iOS 6, my browsers would "autoplay" the sound files. After iOS 6, "autoplay" is disabled so you have to manually click play to play them.
    Nonetheless, everything is working fine again except for "autoplay," which I can live with.

  • Flash won't play audio. Please help!

    To anyone who can help,
    Flash won't play audio in Firefox, Chrome, Safari etc. Downloaded audio plays just fine but I can't stream any flash audio content. Does anybody have any solutions? Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm experiencing the same problem on Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  If I go to YouTube, I don't get audio.  Other websites are fine (I'm not seeing a pattern on exactly which sites).  What I had to do was uninstall Adobe Flash (I used the Adobe Uninstall utility).  Now I have audio on YouTube, but now I'm getting a lot of 'missing plugin' messages from other websites.  I've opened
    To asiatic43, you can get the latest Adobe Flash at

  • Text roll looks wierd after burned on to DVD

    I put credits on text roll and after rendered/compressed and burned onto
    DVD studio. It looks wierd. It's not plain white characters.

    Hi -
    Go to your sequence and click anywhere in the timeline and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see the Sequence Settings. Either report what those sequence settings are or take a screen shot and post the screen shot here.
    Also, please click on one of your source clips in the Final Cut Pro Browser to select it, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the Item Properties for the clip. Either report what the item properties are, or take a screen shot and post the screen shot here.
    When you were editing you sequence and seeing the slow motion in FCP, was your Canvas set to display at 100% size? Were you monitioring the sequence on an external monitor?
    Thanks

  • Video hangs after burning on a DVD

    Hi,
    after burning a project with menus and several chapters, I notice the DVD is hanging after a few chapters. My DVD burner itself should be ok, I got no hardware failures and it's working fine with Nero Burning ROM. Any suggestions??
    Tx a lot,
    Kristof

    You used iTunes to burn the CD? If so, it should work. The question is, did you choose "back up to disc," or did you create a playlist, and choose "Burn playlist to disc?"
    If you do it the first way, you are just saving the actual music files (not in CD format) to a CD.
    If you create playlist and burn playlist to disc, you are making an actual Audio CD that will play in any CD player.
    If you are already using the second method, are you using a CD-R, or CD-RW? Some players have problems w/RW's.
    Btw, iTunes songs are not MP3 format, so I don't think you'll be able to find a "converter." LOL

  • Sooo frustrating after burning with toast dvd still skips

    Cab anyone shed any light ive tried everything and my dvds are sticking on playback!!
    Many thanks Tim

    Hi Bengt
    The camera footage is from a video booth it records in dv-pal.
    The dvd was edited in imovie 11
    The audio was imported with original clips 48 khz and some music from ilife sound effects
    27" imac 3.2 ghz intel core 13 4GB on my macintosh HD I have 879.39 GB available
    Exported to idvd via quicktime using these settings
    VIDEO:-
    compression DV - PAL
    Quality - best
    Scan mode- interlaced
    Aspect ratio 4:3
    Dimensions 720x576 ( 768 x 576 )
    SOUND:-
    Format: integer ( little endian)
    sample rate 48.000khz
    sample size 16 bit
    When using toast 7 i dragged the same movie exported to desktop via quicktime into toast and burnt using toast menues and also I tried making a disk image in idvd and copied that into toast and burnt that too.
    I tried the burns on Verbatim - R and Maxell - R
    On the burnt dvds both in idvd and toast the place in which the dvd was sticking on playback changed every time it would stick for 1-2 seconds and then play on.
    Hope all this is what you asked for bengt do bare in mind i an a beginner when it comes to all things Mac.
    I burnt the same clips via my pc in adobe prem ele 7 and the dvd played through fine with no problems
    Yours hopefully
