Burn Audio DVD on 2nd Mac (share burner?)

Hi,
Is there a quick/painless way to copy iTunes library between Macs ....
or, better still, to share a second Mac's DVD burner?
I have my entire 6G audio library on my Mac Mini (which is the central hub in my multi-computer wireless household; as there is far less chance of it being lost or stolen than my laptops).
I want to burn a 4.7G playlist onto a DVD that I can then play in my car (which is MP3 compatible. This way I can also select/play the songs using my SatNav menu. Better option than using iPod).
The problem is that my Mac Mini only has a CD burner; but my MacBook Pro has a Super Drive. So, somehow I need to temporarily get 4.7Gs worth of music between computers.
I have shared my library but then the burning option is disabled on my MacBook Pro - even though all my iTunes libraries are logged in with the same id, even though they are all on a local network.
I tried Blue Coconut - but it just hangs saying 'Please Wait' (again, despite it being on a local 54Mb wireless network).
Any easy options?

Transferring 4.7 GB on my wireless network doesn't take long at all. If it's too slow in your case, then you could power off the Mac Mini and connect it via a FireWire cable (6-pin to 6-pin) to your MacBook Pro. Then power on the Mac Mini while depressing the T key on the Mac Mini's keyboard. The entire Mac Mini hard drive should now mount as a FireWire hard drive on the MacBook Pro, and you can you can burn the DVD project "locally."
When you're finished with the project, be sure to eject (unmount) the Mac Mini by dragging its FireWire hard drive icon to the Trash, then power down the Mac Mini and disconnect the FireWire cable from both computers.

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.

Problems burning a dvd backup in Mac OS X tiger

hi I have some problems to burn a dvd in my mac, when its burning the dvd for some reason the system reboots I'm trying burning with the finder and the computer its a G5 have an OS X tiger 10.4.11 running in an Intel processor box, with two user accounts, the admin and an other one who's have no admin permission I m login into this account when I tried to burn the dvd I dont know if the permission have something about because with the admin account it works great
so thats my problem if you have an Idea please help me guys
thanks for your time

it's a DVD+R media disc. In Finder I can see the
files on the disc, there's a folder Audio_TS and
VIdeo_TS. There's .VOB, .IFO, .BUP files in the
Video_TS folder and there are no files in the
Audio_TS folder.
The folders and files sound correct (the Audio_TS folder should be empty).
Try launching Apple's DVD Player application in the Application Folder. It should give you the option to open a DVD (I think that's what the new version of Player says - the old version used to say to open the VIDEO_TS Folder)

I bought a new Panasonic camcorder to edit in iMovie 10.0.3. I need to choose between the AVCHD choices and the ALL MP4/iframe choices. I don't have a clue as to which to use. I just want to burn video to DVD to have and share. Thanks for any help.

It sounds like you have assigned the primary click on the trackpad to something else, perhaps a gesture.
Use your mouse, login and then open the Trackpad preference pane and see how you have the interface configured.
Oh and you can have both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad powered up and working at the same time. No need to keep moving batteries around.

Importing a regular DVD into my Mac and the Burned

To whom it may concern,
Hi I'm trying to import a regular DVD into my Mac, but when I try to used imovie the folder containing the files is grey and I can't do anything I'm not sure if this is the best way to import a DVD (movie) and then burn it so I will have a copy. The movie that I wanna import is not an original copy is a copy of the original, but it work on any DVD player as well as in my Mac. I watched all the tutorials and none of them give me a solution. I would appreciate if someone can advised me in this matter.
Thanks and Regards
Do I need a different program?

If the DVD you are trying to copoy is a DVD-R that you made, then this may help you:

It will not help, however if it is a protected DVD.

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?
Would love to archive to 8GB disc formats ... especially if the DVD can be played back through a home entertainment systems.

I think you mean you want to "AAARRRRRRRRRRRchive!"

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.

Blue Ray Disk drive compatibility with DVD S Pro, Mac Pro

Ok, I'll make this an official question, where might I find info on BDR drive compatibility with DVD S Pro, Mac Pro, etc? I'm a little surprised that there doesn't seem to be much info available.
I can always use my Pioneer BDR-202 with a windows box, I have several, but I'm trying to get AWAY from them.
Any thoughts, links, etc. welcome, thanks

Blu-ray offers a level of interacivity that is not possible with DVDs, so it isn't just an different drive that you are getting with Blu-ray. Seeing how Apple didn't upgrade DVD SP with the new FCP Suite 2, it is reasonable to assume they are working on a separate Blu-Ray Studio Pro, that is going to be completely different than DVD SP. Adobe Encore's support for Blu-Ray is extremely buggy, so obviously moving from DVD programming to Blu-Ray programming isn't just a simple tweak to the code.
Apple doesn't pre-announce software they are working on so this is all guess work, but it is reasonable to assume that they are working on a Blu-Ray programming application. Be patient. Do you really have the money to burn on the bleeding edge of new technology? A single Blu-Ray burnable disc sells for $20. Two months ago the exact same disc sold for $45. Prices will continue to fall as things stablize.

How can I play a dvd on my Mac and display it through Apple TV

I want to use my DVD drive on my mac to play back movies through my apple tv2. I notice that on my iPad, iPhone, iTunes on my computer all have the AirPlay option to display the video on my TV through Apple TV. I do not want to burn my DVD onto my Mac and play through iTunes becasue its a hassle.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
One thing you can do is to play the DVD in your Mac using DVD Player instead of iTunes, and then, turn on AirPlay Mirroring to stream your computer's display to your Apple TV > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
If your Mac isn't compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, use a third-party app like AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com This is the only option, because the Apple TV isn't compatible with discs
Logical but it won't work - DVD player output will be a grey checkerboard pattern.
Apple apps prevent Airplay of DVD content at low level presumably for some copy protection reason.
VLC player is believed to work.

Home DVD movies to MAC

I have many home movies I created on my PC and burned to DVD. I would like to 1) transfer from DVD to my MAC for back-up and re-editting. 2) send to iphone via QT X. I purchased the mpg-2 add on and was able to transfer a movie but there was no sound (multiplexed file). I loved the switch to MAC and all my new home videos are great. The problem is working with the old home movie DVDs that I created with Pinnacle Studio on PC. Anyone know the most painless way to do this?

i use Mac the ripper, or hand brake. (Search on version tracker)
For converting digital video to mp4, for iPhone - i use iSquint.
It can probs be done on OS X's own apps, but it'd probs take twice as long!

How best to save VHS tapes to DVDs using a Mac ?

I have over 30 VHS tapes, eight Hi-8 tapes, and a player for both formats. Would like to make DVDs of these movies. There are a few USB adapters (Elgato Video Capture for $100, KWorld DVD Maker 2x for $28) and Roxio makes Easy VHS to DVD 3 Plus for $60. Have looked through AV forums on other websites and the directions are not concise, and are aimed at the PC platform. Prefer to use a Mac.
What is the fastest, easiest, and best way to save these VHS tapes to DVDs using a Mac ?

Frank Caggiano wrote:
Are you sure neither player has a digital output? FireWire would be the most likely connector on that type of equipment.
Both VHS & Hi-8 are analog tape formats so it is extremely unlikely that VHS players or Hi-8 camcorders would have built-in analog to digital converters. That's why you need a product that includes a hardware A-D converter like the three mentioned by the OP.
Roxio's Easy VHS to DVD 3 product is for Windows -- there is no software compatible with OS X included. The Easy VHS to DVD for Mac product does include OS X compatible software but it gets poor reviews at Amazon, has apparently not been updated in some time, & the support page for the product has some "page not found" links suggesting Roxio isn't currently supporting the product very well.
The KWorld DVD Maker comes with a software driver for its A-D converter, which apparently uses a Empia 28xx family chipset. According to this that driver will not work with recent OS X versions, but for $30 one can purchase the VideoGlide driver to solve that problem. The KWorld product does not include OS X compatible editing software; for that you use iMovie (& presumably Toast or iDVD or something else) to burn the movies to DVDs. That makes the price about the same as the Roxio solution but complicates support because hardware & software are coming from different companies.
The Elgato Video Capture product should be compatible with most OS X versions (but I could not find anything specifically about at beyond the typical "10.5 & above" kind of comment which may or may not mean it supports 10.8 or 10.9) but it captures to H.264/MPEG formats only, so like the KWorld you still need something to convert that to MPEG 2 to burn the captures to a standard DVD.
So basically, there is no easy "one step" method to transfer VHS (or any of the other analog video formats) to DVD's. Depending on the version of OS X in use, it should be fairly easy to convert the analog source material to a digital format that can be used with iTunes, iMovie, etc., but editing it & particularly burning that to a DVD that will play in a regular DVD player will take more work.

IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE CD'S DVD'S from MAC 24

After burning it is IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE CD'S DVD'S from MAC 24
Do you know how to solve this problem?

Hi...
Try holding down the Eject key while booting up.
And try holding down your mouse when booting.
And try moving the CD or DVD icon on the Desktop to the Trash. The Trash icon will turn into an Eject icon.
If nothing above has helped...
Open Terminal located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.

Importing a DVD into my Mac?

I had my VHS tapes made into DVD's. I would now like to make copies of my DVD's. How do I import my burned DVD into my Mac so I can make more copies of my DVD's?

You create a disk image of the DVD in Disk Utility and then burn the disk from there.
