Audio DVD disc

Is it posible to burn an audio dvd disc and not a aac or mp3 disk?

the current version of iTunes will not burn a audio DVD only a data DVD for backup, it won't even play a movie DVD or an audio DVD

  • Audio DVD disc (Encore 2.0) - adding chapters without gaps in sound?

    I'm currently building an audio-only DVD for a project that is 24 hours of continuous sound. It consists of 26 separate sound files, each just under an hour. When one file ends and the next begins, instead of a gap-less flow I get about a half second of silence. Does anyone know how to place separate sound files together with chapters so it will play completely uninterrupted?

    Jim.
    This problem (WaveLab 5) is caused by your source file being straight WAV. To get a WAV file larger than 2Gb on any 32-bit system it must be encoded as WAV format extensible. AIFF is a good workaround as well.
    It's not the fault of WaveLab, but the source file.
    A 24-hour file on a DVD-A?
    Not certain you can do this.
    we can assume - depending on the music - around 40 to 60% reduction in data. So, 24 * 60 = 1440 minutes
    Data Rate is:
    48(KHz) * 16 (bitrate) * 60 (seconds per minute) * 1440 (minutes) * 2 (tracks) = 132,710 megabits.
    Average MLP compression is around 40% (could be higher depending on the music) so 132,710,400 * 0.6 = 79,626 Megabits.
    So far, so good - the total capacity of a DVD9 disc is as follows:
    8,500,000,000 (bits) * 8 (bit/bytes) / 1000000 (bits/megabits)
    = 68000 Megabits available.
    So we have a shortfall in space here.
    Lets see what happens if we reduce to 44.1KHz (This sample rate is DVD-A legal).
    44.1 * 16 * 60 * 1440 * 2 = 121,927Mbits * 0.6 = 73,156 Megabits.
    It would depend entirely on exactly how much data reduction the MLP system will give us, and because this is a lossless system it cannot be accurately calculated (VBR = Reduction in Data, CBR = Reduction in Quality)
    So I am sorry, but unless you get lucky on the encoding it is not going to fit with 24 hours of lossless material on a DVD9 disc.

  • No audio on disc image or on DVDs played in DVD player

    Help, I'm stuck.
    I have made several movies in iDVD and burned them successfully. They always played with no problem. Now I am trying to play them in the DVD player and there is no audio. There is also no audio when I make a disc image. And there is also no audio when I try to copy on of my movies back onto the disc utility. I am also not getting audio from commercial DVDs in the DVD player. All of these DVDs still work fine in my regular DVD player hooked to the tv.
    I have version 6.0.4
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    Most common origin is .mp3 .avi or other strange audio format - or -
    imported audio from iTunes.
    Medicine: Copy out as audio .aiff then use this in the movie then to iDVD.
    If the DiskImage doesn't play OK - don't waste to burn DVD discs from it.
    *OTHER THINGS*
    Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
    • Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
    • Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
    iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named: com.apple.iDVD.plist
    While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iDVD.
    Last resort:
    from Craig: Solved the problem!! Finally!! I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive, emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option and I am up and running.

  • Importing/converting DVD-Audio/Dual Discs

    Hello, this is my first post.
    I just got the 30 GB Video Ipod today.
    I am not having any luck with iTunes importing and converting my dvd-audio/dual discs.
    The CD side gets recognized by iTunes but sounds VERY scratchy when it is converted to a format to put on my ipod. Strangely, it also sounds scratchy when I play it on windows media player or any other software player. It also goes silent for a bit sometimes. But it plays fine outside of my computer (e.g. my car) and it isnt scratched.
    I flipped it over to the DVD side and iTunes doesn't recognize it so I can't import and convert it. The DVD side sounds fine though when I play the audio on my computer or on an outside player (e.g. my car).
    Is there anything I can do?

    Have a look at this thread:

  • How do I burn files: txt, audio and video onto a dvd disc?

    I know this is way too basic, but everytime I've copied my files onto a blank dvd disc and then click on the burn icon, it gets half way through the burn and then dies and says there was an error and the disc can not be used again. I've tried doing this on 6 dvd discs now and the burn keeps failing! I'm not running any other application. As the discs are 4.7 gb dvd+r's and I am trying to burn 4 gb onto it, it should work...space wise. What am I doing wrong?? My files are too large to burn onto cd's. Thanks!

    Hi djefferson
    Welcome to Discussions.
    There could be several reasons.
    Your disks may be coaster class. Check out this page on disk brands and reliability
    http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
    Also try using just DVD-R disk media.

  • Using footage from DVD disc shot with sony handycam

    I'm trying to import some footage that was shot with a sony handycam. The camera records directly onto a mini DVD disc. I put the disc in and copied the files onto my desktop. When I import the files into FCP, it recognizes the .vob files, but not the other ones.....so, all I have in FCP is the video, but no audio. Any ideas on how to get the audio into FCP? Trying to avoid playing the mini DVD disc on a player and recording the audio, then importing that and then trying to sync....but will resort to that if necessary.
    Thanks in advance.

    Get MPEG Streamclip (its free) from www.versiontracker.com. Use this to convert the files from your handycam to QuickTime videos using the DV codec.
    Be aware that there will be a loss in quality as you convert your MPEG-2 videos to an editable format. Its unavoidable, and the reason professionals do not use direct to DVD cameras.

  • IDVD won't open with OS 10.5.8 -can't record on to blank DVD discs

    When I attempt to open iDVD application, message says it won't open with this OS. Also when I insert a blank DVD (Verbatim) disc am unable to record a film on to it as I get this message: "The disc can't be burned because the device failed to calibrate the laser power for this level of media." I've seen this message on a previous post on this forum but could not see any solution posted. I have recorded onto DVD discs in the past (different make of disc and before I upgraded to Leopard).
    I can record on to blank CD audio discs without any problem however.

    The first thing to try (IMO important) is not to import directly from your camera. Get a Firewire-connected card reader (USB works also but is slow on Macs) and use the Mac's Finder to copy images from the card to a folder on the Mac hard drive. My description below describes a CF card, but the workflow is the same for an SD card or whatever.
    I feel pretty strongly that camera-to-Aperture handling of original images puts originals at unnecessary risk. I suggest this workflow, first using the Finder (not Aperture) to copy images from CF card to computer hard drive:
    • Remove the CF card from the camera and insert it into a CF card reader. Faster readers and faster cards are preferable, and Firewire is much preferable to USB2.
    • Finder-copy images from CF to a labeled folder on the intended permanent Masters location hard drive.
    • Eject CF.
    • Burn DVD copies of the original images (optional backup step).
    • Eject DVDs (optional backup step).
    • From within Aperture, import images from the hard drive folder into Aperture selecting "Store files in their current location."
    • Review pix for completeness (e.g. a 500-pic shoot has 500 valid images showing).
    • Reformat CF in camera, and archive DVDs of originals off site.
    Note that the "eject" steps above are important in order to avoid mistakenly working on removable media.
    Good luck! The camera-to-Aperture workflow may or may not be the cause of your specific problem this time but in any event card-to-finder long term will provide a more solid workflow.

    iTunes will not burn audio DVDs, only CDs (since iTunes 10.4 iTunes won't even use DVDs for backups). If you wish to burn an audio DVD, you will need to use third-party software. I'm not aware of any current software for Mac that can burn an audio DVD, but there might still be something available.

  • IDVD Error: "Insert a recordable DVD disc"

    I created a project in iDVD ready to be burned but each time I insert a disc, before any burning begins, it is ejected with this error message: "Insert a recordable DVD disc". I have tried several different DVDs but nothing works. I came across this problem in a lot of forums but with no successful answer. Does anyone know what to do in this situation???

    iMovie doesn't do any authoring of the disks, so of course it has 'no issue.' iDVD is the authoring program that actually accesses the DVD disk with a direct burn. Disk Utility recognizes almost any disk, but it also is not an authoring program. When using DU for burning, you are burning from the disk image created by iDVD.
    For the best burn success, follow all the others' advice. I use only Verbatim DVD-R disks, burn at 4x or less and have never had a burn issue. My disks play on all DVD players that I have tried. The only issue has been a particular brand of DVD player that misreads some audio tracks, but the other players read all of it just perfectly.

  • PICTURES ARE FUZZY WHEN IMPORTED TO DVD DISC

    I'm new to creating dvds.  Pictures are fuzzy when imported to dvd disc ( memorex DVD-R).  What am i doing wrong?

    Hi
    Hard to say as You don't suply any info on
    • What photo file format, size You use
    • How You go from photo to iDVD
    And ! - Please do not Yell ! - Capitalized letters = Yelling in most forums and here a low and polite conversation most often will get better and more rapid results.
    Some thoughts about DVD Quality
    • DVD can only be SD-Video what ever tool used to encode it. And that is much less than what Your Mac screen can show.
    • Tools used to create the SlideShow - give a very different (quality) result
    iMovie'08 to 11 - discard every second line = less resolution
    iMovie HD6 and FinalCut - full interlaced video over to iDVD (as good as it can be)
    FotoMagico™ _ Great and even more so if result is burned as a Blu-Ray Disk
    Some notes follows - if You are of interest.
    DVD quality
    1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
       iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
    • Best Performances (movies + menus  less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    About double on DL DVDs.
    2. Video from
    • FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
    • iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
    when the movie includes photos. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
    • iMovie’08 not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
    3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly eg x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09  this can also be set)
    This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application.
    4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
    use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc).
    5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
    6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW)
    7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
    8. Don’t burn more than three DVD at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
    iDVD quality also depends on.
    • DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
    deliver anything better that this.
    HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
    These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-layer.
    Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
    _ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
    _ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
    _ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
    The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
    Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
    • HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
    less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
    • How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
    • Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
    • Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
    iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
    • What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
    other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
    Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
    strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
    Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
    • What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
    (If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
    (Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
    (US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
    (EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
    UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
    • What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
    • How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
    Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
    Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
    Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)

  • Burning iDVD to DVD disc with i Book G4 combo drive and external DVD drive

    7/6/2006. After much recent experimentation with iLife, iMovie and iDVD, I found how to use themes and set up movies in my iBook G4 purchased two years ago near Chicago (updated to OS 10.3.9). To burn an iDVD file to a DVD disc on a "combo drive" (that is, it has no DVD writer drive) iBook or other comparable Mac, go to File on the top horizontal tool bar and down there to "burn to DiscImage." Depending on the size of the file, it will take about four hours for every hour of movie file to encode it. I just set it up that night, went to bed and woke up the next morning with it finished. Once encoded, it doesn't need to be encoded again and can be used in the future. But Toast 7 Titanium will not burn it to an external DVD writer as "video." but it will burn the video file as "data." And pretty fast. The 'data' file still remains a video file and will do everything the video file does, only now from an external round DVD disc, too. I discovered this by accident, although Matt (tech support) reminded me about DiscImage. Later, David (also in tech support) told me to download newer versions of iDVD and iMovie, but that did not work, nor had he ever tried it. Remember for a combo drive and using iDVD, and also iMovie, under File burn to DiscImage and save on an external disc as "data." My external DVD write is by LaCie. Best wishes.

    Like altero said, you're not using Toast properly... Follow these directions:
    Suggest you create a disc image from iDVD and then burn the DVD. In iDVD: File/Save as Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
    There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
    Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

  • How do I get songs from an audio DVD to iTunes?

    I have an audio DVD (no not a movie, I'm not trying to take audio from movies) whose songs I would like to import to iTunes.  Trouble is, when I put it into the drive, iTunes doesn't try to put the songs on iTunes, presummably because the disc is not a CD but a DVD.  How do I get the songs from my audio DVD to my iTunes?

    It is probably not a good idea to leave your e-mail on a public forum.
    You can do a forum search as this is asked and answered very often.
    You should have your music backed up. You can use your backup to move the music to the computer.

  • FCS 2 Audio Content Disc 1

    I recently purchased FCS 2 used on ebay.
    Audio Content Disc 1 came as a white Apple replacement disc.

    when I open the disk in Finder, there is an alias icon.

    Yup, pretty much the same, though I can't guarantee it byte for byte.
    The huge folder post installation is called "Apple Loops for Soundtrack Pro" and it's 22GB. Yup, you read that right: 22GB. That is one major folder, full of loops, sound effects, foley etc. Massive and, if you don't want it, check the following thread for how to get rid of it.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1252383
    One thing that might have made a difference is that there is a new lossless compression format (CAF files) and the Logic Studio uses that format. Final Cut Studio didn't have that at its release and it's likely that the Soundtrack Pro audio DVDs have not been remastered to use the new file format, hence the disks being all but identical.

    BTW: in case others are inclined to pick holes, CAF is not strictly a format, it's a container or wrapper and can hold Apple lossless format, AIF, text data and all sorts of other goodies. So there

  • Burn to SACD or Audio DVD?

    Is it possible to burn to SACD audio CD formats or burn to an audio DVD under iTunes 9 and Snow Leopard?

  • Burn iTunes library to Audio DVD

    I would like to burn my iTunes library to an "Audio" DVD. I know that iTunes won't do it, but will Toast?

    I've tried make a data DVD and it didn't work in my car. I was told that it MUST be an Audio DVD.
    I'm assuming you just want to put a large amount of
    files on a DVD and play the disc like an MP3 CD in a
    DVD player. There is nothing special about this, as
    many consumer DVD players supporting MP3 CDs will
    also play MP3 DVDs. These are simply data DVDs with
    MP3 files on them. You could actually use iTunes to
    burn a data DVD taking care to ensure that all the
    files to be burned are in MP3 format. If you try
    this, just be sure the folder/file structure is just
    how you want it before burning. This article should be of some help in
    understanding your options as far as how to organize
    the contents of an MP3 CD or DVD.
    There are also some consumer DVD players that play
    AAC DVDs, but in the testing I've done, iTunes AACs
    don't work, whereas Nero Digital Audio DVDs
    (AAC-Windows/Linux only) work just fine.
