Are you burning HD footage to HD DVD's?

This is for you guys in the USA, I see you are shooting and editing in HD, have you got HD burners for your Macs?
I have shot some footage on my Sony Z1 and edited it in FCPro for the future when I manage to get an HD burner. Im dying to burn my HD stuff to DVD, but as you know there are no compatible HD burners for Macs as far as I know.. at the moment I just export as SD.
So tell me this why are some of you editing in HD and burning HD DVDs?
Im curious...ta!

We create HD DVDs using standard red laser dye DVD5 discs and DVD SP 4.2 or 4.1.2.
They play with menus on Toshiba HD DVD A-1 players with the latest firmware.
We encode either to HD mpeg2 or h.264 using DVCProHD footage.
No HD DVD burners available. Superdrives work fine with standard DVD Rs.

How do you burn an iPhoto slideshow onto dvd?

I am trying to burn an iPhoto slideshow onto DVD - any tips? Thanks!

If you want to create a video DVD that will play on a set top DVD player to your TV read the following:
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality 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.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

CS5 - Burning HD footage onto a DVD

I don't have a Blu-Ray burner but would like to burn some footage from my HDV camera onto a DVD-R while maintaining the HD resolution. I also have yet to upgrade to CS5. I've heard said that you can convert to AVCHD and burn to a standard DVD that will work in some Blu-Ray players such as the PS3 using a combination of programs including Nero.
So, is there a way to do this using Premiere & Encore CS5? I don't want to downconvert it but just burn as much playable HD footage with menus to a standard DVD. If it is possible, what is the process? If it isn't possible with just Premiere/Encore, is there a better way? Thanks.

Procedure is very easy: make a BluRay iso (img) in Encore and burn it with Nero or ImgBurn to a dvd. All you need is a BR-player either pc or standalone. No need for a BR-burner.
A regular dvd holds about 20 minutes of HDV/HD.

How do you burn off final project onto dvd disk?

how do you burn off a final project onto a dvd disk....do you need idvd or dvd studio pro?

can i just export my project into toast and then burn it off?
Yes. Toast is capable of doing the compressing/encoding, multiplexing and burning, although in tests that I've done, Toast's encoding quality isn't nearly as good as iDVD, Compressor or DVD-SP.
do i need to compress it?
Toast will do that for you.
or do anything else to it?
Use good quality media. Stay away from poor quality brands like Memorex.

What are the steps for burning HD footage to a DVD?

Up until now I have been shooting in SD and burning DVDs, using the Share feature in FCP X. Now I am wishing to do the same thing with HD footage. Am I correct in understanding I must first export to Compressor 4? I have been attempting to do that, but I am getting gummed up.
Basically I need help on the steps to follow, either within Final Cut Pro or within Compressor or both.
The details on the project are as follows: 1920 X 1080/ 29.97 fps 1080i HD Codecs: H.264, Linear PCM.

As shown by my earlier reply I wasn't sure how you wanted to output your footage . . . as standard-def or hi-def.
I assumed you meant standard-def.
However, if you wish to make a hi-def (AVCHD disc) using a normal DVD the process is as follows.
Select Share>Blu-ray and in the window that appears (see screenshot below) check that Output Device lists your disc burner and ends in (AVCHD).
If you are not bothered about menus and want your video to autostart, select Play Movie otherwise you will need to create a menu.
With a DVD in the burner, click the Burn button and sit back and wait for FCP X to provide you with a nice new AVCHD disc which will only play on a Blu-ray player or PS3.

How do you burn a data Back up DVD from the finder?

Is there an easy way to just burn a data back up disk using a Dual Layer DVD (I have the latest Macbook pro), using the finder or other stock apple utility?
thanks for your help.

Hi Nero,

I'm using Menmorex Dual Layer discs DVD+R DL recordable - 8X - 8.5GB - 240min.
the data I'm trying to back up is 7.86GB. Any thoughts?
thanks -BK
I use Verbatim DVD+R DL with perfect success.
I would start with a R/W DVD and just burn a test file or two.
One reason I use Toast is exactly what you experienced. Finder/DU burning usually works OK.
The key word there is usually.
I have never had a problem with Toast Titanium.
If you google with your error you get all kinds of issues/solutions.
One says that using an external drive worked but the internal did not.
I think it's a Catch-22 error.
There are also some settings that determine disk speed, write speed, etc. stored somewhere.
You can try the next step which is to use the disk utility directly. Open DU and click on the optical drive. From there you should be able to select the image you have and burn it.
If that fails, consider Toast, as I did. I have not used the DU/Finder burner since I got Toast.

How do you burn a slideshow to a DVD that will play on DVD players and PC computers?

I burned a slideshow in Aperture onto a DVD containing about 40 photos with a sound track from iTunes. The disk will play on my iMac but not on my wife's PC or on two of our DVD players (less than three years old.). What am I missing in the burning sequence that causes the problem?

What Shutttleworth says is the way to go however you might run into one gotcha, iDvd is no longer available if you bought your current machine with Lion on it.
iDvd use to be part of iLife but is no longer offered as either a seperate download from the App Store or as part of any App Store bundle. If you can still find an iLife boxed set iDvd will be on the DVD in the box. Other then that you'll need to look at thrid party solutions.
Of course if you upgraded to Lion and had iLife before the upgrade you should have a copy of iDvd.
good luck

40minute movie shared on PC theater, How do you burn movie in theater to dvd?

I have created a movie in imovie and sent to theater, since the movie is longer then 15 minutes, it was sent to MAC only and not icloud which is fine. Where on the MAC is the movie clip created stored? i would like to make a copy of it to external hard drive? I was also looking for a method to burn the new movie to a DVD or dual layer DVD. I am running yosemite on my MAC and the latest imovie. I have a copy of iDVD from an earlier version of operating system but last time i tried to export movie from imovie as file and drag into iDVD, it wasnt compatible. It seems Apple is wondering away from DVDs and more into the cloud service. I would bring my laptop to relatives house but this macbook pro 2009, doesnt support sharing with appleTV, thanks apple for supporting older machines. I would need cables for video and voice to view on a TV. Making a copy to a DVD would be allot easier.
Can anyone advise of my two concerns? Where the movie is saved to for me to make a backup to an external drive and the latest method to burn projects to DVD???
Currently i have all events on my external drive, iphoto and imovie events used to make the project. When i created the movie to the theater it created the project to my local MAC HD, that is what i am looking for to be able to copy over to my external hard drive as well. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

You should be able to bring the movie project into iDVD and burn it from there. I burned one from iMovie one time that was 45 minutes. Your project can be found in Finder > Movies > iMovie Projects

How to bring footage from my DVD into FCP

Hi,
I REALLY need some help! I edited my film in FCP and burned in DVDSP, the same goes for the raw footage. They are both now on a DVD. My problem is that I let my friend borrow the raw footage tapes (bad mistake I know!) and now he cannot find the tapes. So I want to know if it is possible to take the raw footage back off the DVD without loosing any quality, and to bring it back into FCP? Thanks SO much for the help!

Without losing ANY quality? Sorry, quality was lost when you encoded for DVD. More quality will be lost when you rip the footage off the DVD, and more lost again when you encode again for DVD.
Sorry bud. Gotta press your friend more.

How to burn my Video to a DVD in Premiere Elements 7?

I have a
video of my son's Basketball team and I save it
on my Hard Drive thru Premiere Elements.I did make it a
project. I now want to burn it onto a DVD and don't want
anything more such as timelines and or screen lines.
Can someone step me thru the process?
Thank You

THEVIDEOKID
We have a lot of details to sort through systematically to get your the DVD-VIDEO that you want, but let us try some preliminary questions and answers to get started:
a. The file that you clicked on to open your video in the Premiere Elements 7 Timeline...did it have a file extension of .prel? That is the file extension of a Premiere Elements project.
b. When you started that project, did you set it up for NTSC DV Standard or Widescreen or the PAL counterpart?
c. If you are working with the project.prel, when you open the project.prel, do you see your video on the Timeline? Does it play back in the Edit Mode Monitor if you hit the Play button of the Edit Mode Monitor?
d. When you get to Share/Disc/Disc, what preset did you set...NTSC Standard or Widescreen or the PAL counterpart?
e. After you have hit Burn in the Burn Dialog and during the encoding burn, the image in the Monitor stays at the image where you left the Timeline indicator back in the Edit Mode....nothing changes there, except maybe the image will dim during the encoding/burning process.
f. IMPORTANT...do you get a message saying the the burn to disc has been successfully completed, followed by the DVD burner tray opening?
g. If so, put the DVD back in the burner tray, go to My Computer/DVD drive. Right click the DVD drive and select Explore. Do you find content of two folders, one named OpenDVD and the other VIDEO_TS?
Where are you trying to play back the DVD-VIDEO that you believe that you created?

Can you burn an AVCHD DVD using Premiere Pro 4.1?

Alright I've been hunting the forums and net for a few hours on this one question.
I import my AVCHD video files using Sony Picture Motion Browser for the HDR SR-12 using the full HD setting (1920x1080i) I then pull these into Premiere 4.2.1 and have created an edit, my question is, it possible to output to an AVCHD DVD i.e. a standard DVD-R with the AVCHD edit on it from Premiere/Encore?
It's easy to burn clips straight to AVCHD DVD using Sony PMB, but not an edited file.
I realize there are no menus possible if you do it this way, but I have an AVCHD capable DVD deck and an HD Capable screen and would really like to see how this looks. Anybody know any tricks or workarounds for this? It seems that this would be sadly lacking if it was not possible or simply an effort to force one to adapt the entire workflow to Blu-Ray for HD content which I am not prepared to do.
I am assuming that if you could export the same file type that came in (i.e. AVCHD .mts files) that you could then have Sony PMB burn it to AVCHD DVD but I haven't figured out how to export it as such as there is only Blu-Ray output options.
Any help, tips or tricks would be appreciated!!!!
Regards,
DSW

Answering myself here for the benefit of anyone else trying to solve this problem.
I have been pulling my hair out trying to solve this problem for the last 48 hours of utilizing AVCHD footage at AVCHD quality. I finally did find somewhat of a work around, but it requires Adobe PP CS4.2.
There is a plug-in here:
http://www.mainconcept.com/site/prosumer-products-4/mpeg-pro-hd-7850/features-7861.html
Which will actually output your edit as an AVCHD file. You can then burn this straight to an AVCHD using Nero 9 and keep the highquality level of your clips and not need Blu-Ray. The DVD player will need to be AVCHD capable, but I just bought one of those for $40 as compared to the $200+ of most Blu-Ray players.
Or if you want to be really sneaky, you can transfer it back onto your camera and play it straight to your TV using the HDMI cable.
Hope that helps anyone stuck with the same problem.
Regards,
DSW

Final Cut Pro X witch Blu-ray Burner are you using ...

Using a Mac Pro Tower like the Mac Pro 2012 or similar what are the Blu-ray Internal Burners do you use ; LG or Pioneer , witch Model Number.
Creating Blu-ray on the Mac is fantastic but witch brand and model numbers for the Big Mac Pro Tower are you using with exellent results now.
On the Mac Apple Pro Apps or Roxio Toast Titanium are the only left options who are current and updated , but burners specified for Windows.
Frustration come when you talk to Apple they say not supported , Burners makers LG or Pioneer will say we dont offer support on the Mac.
Well if you can create Blu-ray on the Mac but cant get any help to burn it it is very frustrating and Not So Pro if Apple care for the Pro Users.

I use the new Mac Pro 2013. Final Cut Pro X version 10.1.4 and Maverick OS 10.9.5. An external Blu-ray burner LG BE14NU40. I've use single burn Blu-ray discs from brands like Maxell and Verbatim. That works fine. I have double layers Blu-ray discs not tried. I use it for home video’s.
DVD single works fine too. DVD double layers I have not tried but will also work i think. Reviews on LG USA stated that Roxio Titanium with corresponding plugin works.
I'm glad I found a blu-ray burner that works with FCPX. Compressor 4.1.3 but I have not been working with the LG burner. Not yet!

How do you burn photos to DVD from iPhoto?

How do you burn DVDs of photos in iPhoto?

Depends.
Want to just back up/share the photos? Export them to a Folder on the desktop and then burn that with the Finder. Result: A DIsk with a folder(s) of images.
Want to back up the Library - all the images, versions, database file and so on? Share -> Burn. Remember a disk created in this way will not make any sense execpt to iPhoto.
Want to burn to a DVD that you can view on a domestic DVD player? Make a slideshow. Export that. Then use a DVD authouring programme to create that disk. iDVD is no longer developed by Apple. You may be able to get it on an old iLIfe install disk. There are other options:
Burn: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/21992/burn
Toast: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/6351/toast-titanium
But there are lots of others too. Search on the App Store or MacUpdate
