Burn edited qt home movie to dvd?

hiya everyone, please help me ive recently recorded my mate wake boarding and wanted to edit the clips together and play some music over the top, i purchased qt pro and have managed to make a kick *** movie, my problem is there were 7 seperate clips which i copied - pasted together and saved sucsessfully and can watch the whole thing as one complete 21 minuite movie with new music tracks playing over the top, but when i went to burn it to dvd using nero i added the 21 minuite video file as usual but it only recognised the first clip 3 minuites long (where have the other 18 minuites gone?), i exported it to avi which gave me a poor quality video with no audio (no good) but nero did recognised the whole 21 minuite movie!. How can i put my edited movie on to disc as one complete 21 minuite movie and keep the high quality. original video format is mov and audio format mpeg layer 3 and im using windows xp. any info would be greatly appriciated. regards fulbz ps im a newbie to this so go easy on me. ;o)

hiya quicktimekirk,
Its the first time i have edited a movie using qt pro and followed the step by step instructions to the letter, so i assume i have done everything correctly.
Yes the file works perfectly if i play it in quicktime, it plays as one complete 21 minuite (209mb) movie and is saved as one complete 21 minuite (209mb) movie with my added music playing over the top, its all perfect in quicktime.
But if i play it in nero show time it will only play the first 3 minuites and the screen will freeze, the audio continues for the entire 21 minuites but its not my added music, its the the original audio of the speed boat and me talking rubbish to the driver. exactly the same problem as when i try to burn it with nero.
So from what i can gather is basically nero cant read my edited movie file, how can i convert it so nero can recognise it?
Once again thankyou for you help and your patients it is greatly appriciated.
kindest regards
fulbz

Help!! I can't get my new macbook to print with my Dell 155w OR burn a home movie to DVD

I cannot get my very recently purchased macbook pro to burn a home video to dvd OR connect to my dell 155w printer. I bought a macbook because it was so highly recomended. But I don't want to keep replacing things. I am so frustrated. I wanted a macbook because of its reputation. But I can't seem to figure out anything. I'm dissapointed and thinking I will just return it.

Your problem may be able to be solved but take this from a Long time Windows user and current Mac owner. Macs are not easier to use. Mac break down just as often as PCs, percentage wise as to how many are sold/produced.
They use the exact same hardware as Win PCs.
The learning curve for OS X is greater then for Windows.
Not sure of the age of your printer but it may not be supported in the newest Mac OS, Lion.
We would need a little more info on how you are trying to connect TO the printer. USB cable or Wirelessly.
As far as burning a Home Movie to DVD. Apple use to supply a program called iDVD for this but with the introduction of Lion OS they stopped supplying that program. You could try another burning program. Try Burn or you could buy something like Toast (Burn is free).
Personally I would return your Macbook Pro and stick to what you know with a good PC notebook.
Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund. Take advantage of that policy.

IDVD is not on my system and I cannot download it from the App store. How Do I burn my home movies to DVD?

iDVD is not in my macBook pro and I need an iDVD or a good program to burn my home movies on DVD with menus. I cannot download iDVD or any other professional programs like DVD Studioor ... from App store. Please help me how do I burn my short films to DVD? Also please tell me any other free programs alternate it for burn DVD with putting menus.

Hi
iDVD is not or never been free !
there are up-dates but still You need the original iDVD v. 7.x.x to use them.
Best of program - not sold by Apple any more but on Amazon or e-bay in boxed versions of iLife 11
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on Internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

I'm not very techy, so be gentle! i am using midvd app to burn home movies to dvd from iMovie '11 version 9.0.9. It now burns the dvd but there is nothing on the disc. its not recognised by the iMac or any other dvd player.

I was using midvd app(i never had idvd) to make home movies on dvd from imovie '11 version 9.0.9 with no problems before xmas 2013. ive just tried to make a new one today and it wont work.
It seems to burn to the dvd (you can see a mark on the back of the dvd as if it has some info on it) but it wont play on imac (just says blank disc) or any other dvd player.
I have tried reinstalling midvd app and also tried 2 other dvd creator apps and the same thing happens the app says its burning and the external superdrive whirs like its doing something but it wont play.
The only thing i have done since xmas is all the updates to the operationg system and updated imovie (i didnt like the new version so went back to using the previous one)
Any ideas - i am new to all things mac!

When you export your movie from iMovie, are you choosing H.264? That is the only compression method supported by this miDVD. Youc an give this a try first:
Use Share > Export to Quicktime > Movie to Quicktime Movie > choose Options and then make your choices in Settings, etc (you can choose whatever size your video is - mine was 720 HD at that time):
If that does not work, I'd suggest going to their support site as they claim to be able to burn to DVD.... I just checked their site and here is their list of supported file types:

I am trying to edit a home movie on iMovies but when I try to download the movie from a dvd a message comes up saying there are no importable files. The DVD is the last in a series of 5 and the others have downloaded without any difficulty.Help?

I am trying to edit a home movie on iMovies on a mac book air. The movie is on a dvd but when I try to import the movie onto iMovies I get a message saying there are no importable files. I've downloaded the macx converter software but I can't seem to download the movie into that either.

Chris , thanks for the prompt reply. The dvd was produced by a third party that I found on line . I had a number of old mini digital video cassettes from a Sony Handycam. I can play the DVD's on my laptop but I can't edit them on iMovies to delete a lot of the rubbish on them. I have five DVD's and three downloaded without any problem but the last two are according to iMovies non importable.

How to burn copies of home movies

I am trying to burn copies of videos made in school by my daughter, but when I try to add them to iTunes they do not add to library. To work around this I drag them to my desktop, convert to folders and burn the folders into DVD, but the burned DVD has only one file for audio and one for video but does not open automatically and play when I insert it. I know if I could get them into iTunes I could burn copies, but do not know how to do this and if I cannot get them into iTunes is there a way to burn them and have them open automatically and play on the DVD player when inserted. Would very much appreciate help.

Open Preferences > CDs&DVDs and make sure you have selected open DVD player when a video DVD is inserted. I don't know what the exact criteria for a "video DVD" happens to be. Do you have a VIDEO_TS folder at the top level of the disc? Sorry, but I don't have any home movie or DVDs lying around to experiment.

I have my home movies on DVD from Windows. I am trying to import them into iMovie but it won't recognize the files. The movies will play on my Mac but I can't seem to import them.

I have my home movies on DVD burned from Windows and am trying to import them into iMovie. The DVD will play on my Mac but I can't seem to import the movie. Can anyone help?

See my post here for how to do this.

How can I import a home movie from DVD

I have a home movie on DVD I'd like to get in imovie...can this be done?

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:

which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

Can I burn hd home movies to dvd in itunes after importing them into my itunes library

Can I burn to dvd, HD home movies from a HD camera in itunes after importing them in my itunes library

I don't have iTunes set to manage my music but if I move an item to the trash that is the file iTunes uses, it will still play in iTunes until I empty the trash. Of course at that point it is permanently gone so if that was my keeper file then I have messed up.
One overlying recommendation is to back up your computer before doing the editing. If you make a mistake you can always go back and try again.

How do I burn my home movie to DVD?

I just finished a 2 hour home movie in iMovie. I have a MacBook Pro and iMovie. I want to burn my movie to DVDs to give family members. But I realize they didn't include iDVD. What should I do? Do I have to share and/or finalize the movie? I just switched to a MAC this past summer.

There is no real substitute for iDVD.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
“when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
“You can still use it one all of your Macs. If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
“It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date. I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected. For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

How can I convert a home movie on dvd(vob file) to edit on imovie?

I had home movies converted to a dvd- the files are vob. Now I want to edit the movies in imovie.
I am having a difficult time converting from vob straight to mov files.
I purchased Quick Time Pro thinking that could do it, but I haven't been able to.
Also, it just says QuickTime Player Version 7.6.4 (518.35) on my computer.
Is it supposed to say QuickTIme Pro?
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

The "Pro" option just unlocks a lot of features in QuickTime Player. If you look at the registration info, it will show if you have Pro installed.
For converting DVD's you have two options; hardware or software.
The hardware option involves connecting a DVD player's analog outputs to a qualified "DV device" (DV camcorder, VTR or converter) then connecting the DV device's Firewire port to your Mac to capture the footage.
The software option involves using an application like DVDxDV or MPEG Streamclip to convert the DVD's VOB files into an editable format that works natively with your chosen NLE.

How do i edit a home movie on a DVD?

I just paid to have some home movies converted from VHS to DVD. I loaded the DVD into my computer, expecting iMovie or iDVD to be able to allow me to basically edit the movies. I learned that that's impossible without first downloading MPEG Streamclip which I did. Then I learned that I still can't proceed without also paying $20+ for MPEG-2 Playback Component. Apple says that Playback Component is not required with Lion, which I have. But elsewhere, I read that I do need it. Worse, most of the reviews say that it doesn't work, that there is no audio. I don't have $20 to throw away. And I'm not sure that, even if I did install Playback Component, that I'd have video, because I don't have it now. Am I missing something here? Is it true that iMovie won't import a video from a DVD that I can watch on the same computer, but it will import a movie from a camera? (I don't have a camera.) So: why am I not getting video, let alone not getting audio? And what can I do to edit a movie that's on an unprotected DVD? Thanks.

Hi aa,
dvd is end of the road, DVD uses a compressor (mpeg2) not meant for further processing..
Handbrake converts into mpeg4, another lossy compressor (not meant for editing...), which needs to be converted AGAIN for usage in iM...
I would do....
get for 20$ the Apple mpeg2 plugin
and for free the tool Streamclip for converting mp1/2/4, divx, avi, vob...
(with that combo you can NOT override copyprotection mechanisms! ... )
other tools are:
* DVDxDV, it has a 30d trial period (testdrive sets a watermark)... and cost 25$
* Cinematize >60$
* Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
http://danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/tips_tricks/6010.shtml
http://danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/tips_tricks/6018.shtml
or connect Your Camera to a DVD-player and copy to tape or import trough if Your Camera handles that..
DVDxDV is a very good "beginner's tool", one-click-only + try out...

Home movies on DVD into iMovie for editing?

I've had home movie video cassettes transferred onto DVD professionally and want to move them into iMovie so I can do edits and create new movies. The DVDs play fine but I can't figure out how to get them into iMovie so I can manipulate

As Peter Joshua stated, Instant Handbrake will do the job and it is free, but you will have to check the settings to conserve the original quality because HandBrake is made to convert for iPod and will condense the movie. I have an app called Cinematize Pro, which is a perfect app for doing this. It is not free but conserves the full quality of the video and allows you to convert selected chapters or clips and not the whole DVD content.

How to transfer your home movie from DVD to imovie for Editing?

How to transfer home movie already on a DVD to IMOVIE for editing & enhancement.

Simple idea-but not always easy. Get a dvd ripping program (or find a trialware version of one). Insert dvd. Rip DVD. save dvd as either DV or MP-4.Open with iMovie. Fiddle around,VLC might be helpful??
