Without saying the file's format, that's a hard one to guess. There are many formats that are not recognized by iMovie.

How do I burn a .mov file to DVD?

I need to burn an MPEG-2 video file saved as .mov to a DVD that will play in a regular DVD player.
I have tried opening iDVD and the selecting 'Create a New Project'. When I have selected a location for the project and the main window opens, I go to File > OneStep DVD from Movie...
My understanding is that when I import a movie file, it will burn it straight to the disc without any further options. It does this, however after a couple of minutes the DVD is ejected blank and iDVD says the burn has completed.
How can I solve this problem or is there another way to burn a .mov file to DVD?
Thanks, Dan

A green screen in an indication that the movie is in a format not supported by iDVD. It should be in one of these formats: DV, high-definition video (HDV), MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-4 SD, MPEG-4 HD, and AVCHD. (From SDMacUser's post in What input file formats does iDVD...: Apple Support Communities). The post has other requirements that need to be met.
SD = standard definition.
Open your movie with QT Player and bring up the Info window for the movie. It will have the format:
Another possible reason is the Energy Saving settings on the Mac. Turn off energy saving and screen saver before starting the save as disk image or burn.
Other possible fixes can be found in this tipic: Green Screen with audio after Burning: Apple Support Communities

Burning exported quicktime file to cd

Newbie here. After exporting different short (less than 3 minutes) files to quicktime (using a variety of settings) my quicktime file plays fine on my computer. I have even uploaded these files to Youtube with no problem.
The problem is burning the quicktime file to a cd. I've tried different write speeds, but the file hangs or is so choppy it is not watchable. I am not able to view the quicktime file on my computer or any other.
My computer is new (less than a month) so i tried burning a quicktime file exported from iMovie. That file plays fine. I wasn't sure if the problem was my cd drive.
Is there something simple i am missing? I've read many parts of the manual and looked thru this forum and am not finding a solution.

I was using a cd as the file was so small (ranging from 6mb to 600 mb - i've tried 2 dif files and converted them to quicktime multiple ways).
I did use the "quicktime movie" option to export, (along with the conversion. The conversion options had more settings i could control for Youtube use which was suggested on another site.http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/you_tube_reduxgary.html) The sole purpose is to upload to Youtube. I'm burning to a cd as i am just giving the file to the person i made the movie for so they can keep it and upload to Youtube. I have not tried putting the quicktime file onto a dvd, but didn't think that was not needed for a 10mb quicktime movie. I did make the movie self-contained, but it won't play on my computer either.

Can't Burn a .img file

iDVD file plays fine on Mac. File is a video transferred from VHS to iMovie, then made into iDVD file, with added scrolling block comments and one picture. The burn process completes the "Processing" step, but gives a message and hangs up without burning the .img file. The message is: "The selected folder contains no pictures. To see a slide show screen saver, add pictures to your picture folder, or choose a new folder that contains pictures in desktop and Screen Saver preferences".
What's this?

Dumb Question!

How can Java read VC++ serialized achieve file

After finally realizing Java is much more powerful than C++, I am currently transferring my VC++ codes to Java and having a problem on how to read my old VC++ serialized achieve files. In java.io, can readObject() do the same job as VC++'s Serialize(ar)?
In VC++ codes, my data was structured as the following:
struct TickData {
     time_t     time;
     double     price;
     int     size;
CList<TickData, TickData &> m_tickList[TICKER_MAX];
m_tickList[nId].Serialize(ar); // VC++ data was saved this way
Does anyone know what java method and how I should use to read all my old VC++ serialized files?
Help on this will be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Unless you find some library somwhere, I strongly suggest to write a conversion tool in VC++.
It takes a serialized file as input and spits out a file in a language independent format: XML,
CSV, INI, Java properties, whatever. You Java program will use this format, not serialization,
so you will never have this kind of problems in the future.

Burn a PDF file onto a CD that contains music

Hello, I'm currently in the process of completing a physical version of some music I made. I also want to include the lyric booklet PDF file but I would like to keep the CD as a music CD so there won't be any compatibility problems. Is there any way to burn the PDF file onto the CD with the music without sacrificing playability? An album that I know has done this is Fall Out Boy's "Folie a Deux". They put some files onto the CD that would allow you to download additional content. Thank you for any help!

I know you can to this with Toast, Roxio Toast 11 Titanium - CD, DVD, Blu-Ray Burning Software Program for Mac I've done it before. Toast calls this an "enhanced audio CD". I don't know if you can do this with iTunes or Disc Utility, but probably not.

Why won't iDVD burn my .avi files... it used to?

i have files ending in .avi that i want to burn to a DVD, in order to watch them on television.
i throw them into the iDVD and the preview shows nothing but a blank screen.
iDVD used to burn my .avi files.
i have converted them to .mp4 / .mpg / .mov... but nothing seems to work.
sometimes, throwing a .mp4 file into iDVD nothing happens at all, or it will say unsupported / unrecognized file.
the only time it did work was when i used a program to convert a file to .mp4, but now it has a huge watermark across the picture.
why all of a sudden does it not work?

Hi
If QuickTime-player opens Your .avi files then start Inspector (cmd+I) and read
Video Format/Codec: nnnnnnnnnnn
What does it read ?
What did an old .avi file that worked - read ?

My mac is a Mid 2012, 13'' MacBook Pro

I've been instructed to download an .exe file of Windows XP Service Pack 3 in order to update a corrupted and restored Windows XP in Parallels on Bootcamp.
I downloaded to my MacBook and tried putting the .exe file in a folder and burning it to CD but received this message
"The disc could not be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new blank disc. (Error code 0x80020063)"
Is there a way to burn just the .exe file alone directly from its location in my Downloads file to the CD?

Burning a pdf file to a cd.

I have a document in Adobe Reader in PDF form. I need to burn this pdf form to a cd, and need help

Burning files to CD doesn't involve Reader. You would burn a PDF to CD the exact same way you would burn any other file to CD.
What you need is a forum for your OS or if you have CD burning software, a forum for that.

Files converted automatically to Mp3 instead of mpeg when burned as audio files

Cannot maintain mpeg music playlist files when burning using audio file burn mode

They will be compressed to MP3 when published. It is always better to have an uncompressed file to start with, easier also to edit with audio software (Audition, Audacity) without quality loss. Be sure that it will be reduced largely when published. And please, don't shout.... why those big fonts?

I am unable to burn mp3 audio files to cd.I have tried different speeds but every time it ays failed due to media write error.Can anyone help what to do?

I am unable to burn mp3 audio files to cd.Every time it says failed due to media write error.I have tried different speeds.Can anyone help pls?

There are several different incompatible media sold as writeable CDs. You MUST match the media to the abilities of your drive.
I was flummoxed by buying 8x media when my drive was a 2x drive. I needed the other type, and there was nothing helpful in the diagnostics or the packaging that helped me understand that.
EDIT: There is an interesting helpful feature buried in System Profiler ... (read the last two lines of the report):

How do I burn an mp4 file to DVD?

Do I need a program such as Toast or QuickTime Pro to burn an mp4 file to a DVD, or is it possible to use iDVD or disk utility?
Thanks.

Bearsfan, Welcome to the discussion area!
Are you trying to burn it to the DVD so it is just a file on the DVD? If so you can use the Finder or Toast.
OR are you trying to create a standard video DVD capable of playing in any commercial video DVD player? If so, have you tried launching iDVD and then dropping the mp4 into the movie area? If that doesn't work, have you tried launching iMovie and dropping the mp4 into it?
