Burn MP4 to DVD?

I need to know how to burn MP4 files to a DVD disc that can be played on a regular DVD player. I have tried to the application Burn and it worked great but only for the first time. It never worked again cause an error always came up. I have read that many people have had that same issue. Please someone help. I need very specific instructions. I have OS X 10.8.2       Macbook Pro.

Ok, I answered my own question.  I had a project open at the time. Once I closed the window, selecting "OneStep DVD from Movie" worked just fine.

    what is the best free program to burn mp4 to dvd w/o watermark?

    Terrabay:
    I prefer iDVD for image quality of the final slideshow but you can't have KB effect and can only have one type of transition per slideshow. You can have text and music, however. For what you want to do I agree with Terence that PhototoMovie is probably your best bet. It produces some fine quality movie clips. I only used it once quite a while ago so can't make a judgement on if it's easier than iMovie.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

    Does anyone know how to burn mp4's downloaded from the iTunes store onto a DVD that can be played in a DVD player?

  • Burn MP4 to DVD with iDVD

    I'm trying to burn an mp4 to dvd using idvd.  When I click on "OneStep DVD From Movie" and select my mp4, iDVD hangs with most menu items grayed out.  Any attempt to interact with the interface just causes a beep.  Any suggestions?

  • Encoding error when burning mp4 videos to dvd-rw using idvd

    hi all, i'm trying to burn mp4 videos on a blank dvd. i used the magicdvd option in idvd 08 but the error message of "encoding error" had appeared before it burned the videos to the dvd. could you please let me know if mp4 is not supported by idvd? i heard i must convert mp4 to mpeg-2 in order to watch it with regular dvd player, can i do that with mpeg streamclip? is mpeg-2 supported by idvd? thanks!

    Hello Alarkin,
    is there a free alternative to toast?
    Yes, it's Disk Utility - just follow this procedure:
    1. create the disk image in iDVD
    2. double-click the resulting .img file to "mount" it. Next launch DVD Player to view your DVD .... if everything is fine, close DVD Player and eject the virtual disk.
    3. Open Disk Utility and drag the disk image into the left hand pane, then hit burn.
    Note: Set the burn speed to 2x or even 1x. Most burn errors are the result of high burn speeds. Also use only high quality DVD-R media (e.g. Verbatim)
    hope this helps

  • 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.

  • Is DVD Creator good for burning MP4 video to dvd to view on TV

    Is DVD Creator by Aimersoft good for burning MP4 video to dvd to view on TV?

    I tried the trial and found the theme/menu option too simple to interest me, so I deleted it. I use iDVD to add some pizzazz to my movies and then either burn it with iDVD or Roxio Toast. As for burning mp4: you might need to check on that - as far as I know, movies need to be in an mpeg-2 format to be able to play on a regular DVD player - the apps I use automatically create the correct format.

  • Yes I am an idiot---How to burn content to DVD for TV viewing?

    I am sure this has been answered somewhere, but I haven't had any luck finding it. I need idiot-proof step-by-step instructions, if possible.
    I am trying to put content from my series 2 TiVo onto DVDs for children's viewing on Sony DVD players in the family room. I have scoured the TiVo and TiVo Community forums but they are too abstruse and technical for me. Given the extremely poor reviews of Popcorn, Toast, Roxio, and Sonic (the current TivoToGo for the Mac solution) I don't want to spend $ and wasted effort.
    I have used TiVo Decode Manager to convert TiVo content to MP4 (which works great ONLY on the Mac or iPod). I have used Living Room widget to convert TiVo content to MPEG (which is unreadable on the Mac without buying a Quicktime MP-2 component).
    I have burned a Maxell DVD-R using iDVD (it didn't see the MPEG files, but I got them on the DVD using the Burn Folder) which works great on multiple Macs IF run as a Quicktime file or in iTunes. OS X DVD Player doesn't see anything (it asks for Video_TS and Audio_TS files, which aren't there), nor do any Sony DVD players see a disc at all. Please note that I have NO trouble getting TiVo connected to my Mac or transferring content to my Mac.
    So, very simple question: I want to burn MP4 or MPEG content that is readable by Sony DVD players. I cannot figure out iDVD to do this. Or do I have to buy Popcorn or Toast?

    I want to burn MP4 or MPEG content that is readable by Sony DVD players. I cannot figure out iDVD to do this.
    Nope, iDvd won't do this (at least not directly). Toast/Popcorn are better options for what you wish to do.

  • Burning video to dvd

    Once you have recorded HD video with the ipod 4g, is there a way to burn it to dvd? And can the ipod 4g be connected to a big screen tv? I have an ipod dock with the audio/video cables going into my tv, does the ipod 4g work with it?

    If you have a dvd recorder you can hook the computer up to the dvd player play the video on the computer and record using the dvd recorder.
    To put it in IDVD use handbrake to rip the dvd you just recorded into mp4, convert it to quicktime (using imovie), and then drag the finished Imovie onto the menu in IDVD.

  • Burning avi to dvd

    I'm not sure where this question belongs..anyway, I've downloaded a 460MB avi file that has video but no audio. I downloaded the codec VLC and got sound. I'd like to burn this file to a dvd but when I do I get no sound. How can I get this avi file to burn to a dvd with sound? I'm using toast titanium to burn.

    Hi Jeff,
    follow FShippey's advise and download Visual Hub, it is indeed very cheap and the capabilities of this program are great. I have managed to get 5 hours of very good quality film burned to one DVD which plays on a standard DVD player and TV.
    As well as conversions from and to AVI, MP2, MP4, iPod, PSP, DV, DVD, WMV, Flash. The work is done quickly and sofar I have not had any failures.
    This application is definitely one for every video workers toolbox!

    Hi all,
    i am become desperate with idvd on mac mini3 with snow leopard 10.6.

    after ordering mpeg2 license from apple, quicktime is able to play the video
    it is able to get droped to the menu and a new entry appears.
    testing the dvd in iDVD it works fine,
    when burning to disc, the menu get converted, then it trys to convert the video ??? (from mpeg2 to mpeg2???) then i get an error: unable to transorm video, the only thing i can do is klick ok.
    way 2
    i have a h264 video from a canon camera.
    tried to drop that to iDVD, works, test works again.
    when trying to burn to dvd menu get converted fine, then iDVD tries to convert video, iDVD crashes.
    way3
    i imported the h264 from from canon camera in iMovie (it get optimized about 16min, the video has a length of 10min)
    then i publish it to iDVD takes again 20min.
    in iDVD i create the menu add some photos
    preview is again ok,
    when burning the project to disc the menu get created, when trying to convert the video (why again???): video cant get converted i can only click ok.
    way4

    could someone give me the proper tip to get the video to disc?
    best regards

    ref. way 3 - don't publish imovie video to idvd. you lose too much resolution. As for the other issues, anyone else?

  • I have home movies burned onto a DVD.  How do I get them into imovie?

    I have home movies burned onto a DVD.  How do I get them into imove?

    i assume you mean for editing.  in that case, you're going to need either some software or hardware to convert the signal from DVD to something that iMovie can handle.
    there are a couple of devices out there that can convert sources like DVD, like a Canopus ADVC ($170), or the cheaper Elgato VCD ($85) that converts to mp4.  the main advantage of the Canopus is that i can convert from analog sources like VHS.
    if you're just working from DVD sources, then DVDxDV software ($29) will probably do the trick and be the most reasonably priced option.
    of course, these all are meant to be used for non-copyrighted DVDs -- they will not work on DVD's that have have copy protection, and no one here will discuss any illegal copying.

  • Burning Videos To DVD's

    How do you burn .mp4 or .mpeg4 files (ipod video files)to dvds? I know there's a way, but I don't know what it is. If you know of a software, anybody know where I can find a free trial?

    Well you cant burn videos from iTunes on a disk.

  • FCE, Sony HD Camera, Family Video Editing, & Burning (HD?)DVD

    Ok. Here goes ... I am a new iMac enthusiast who has "seen the light". That being said, I will be purchasing my first iMac in 30 days and I am hopefull that my expectation(s) do not fall flat because they are unrealistic. The only expectation in which there appears to be some doubt is this ... I am planning to convert all of my family videos (present formats of VHS, VHS-C, & AVCHD) to a HD format on a DVD, or at least to another electronic hardware such as a hard drive or a library of SD cards. Well, how many holes do I have in my plan? Before you answer, allow me to tell you my understanding of the barriers. First of all the actual conversion of VHS format to a digital format. I do have a Plextor Digital Video Converter with which I have, in the past, successfully converted the analog VHS format to a digital format and saved on a Windows PC, so I do have some experience with that effort. I do understand the labor intensive exercise this could prove to be. Second, I anticipate the VHS-C conversion to be about the same process. However, what about the video that I presently have on my Sony HDR-SR11? I have already done some importing and editing of said digital video via my daughter's MacPro & iMovie, but what about burning it to DVD? Of course, when I burned the video to DVD it converted to standard format. I want it to be in a HD format. From what I have seen in forums and various discussions on the net, this is almost impossible without some relatively complicated manipulation via Toast 10, BluRay drive, etc. type effort. What is the deal? Why the black hole of interface when it comes to burning digital video to a HD format, even when the original source is HD? It seems to me that there is a huge opportunity for Apple to capture a tremendous segment of business by providng an "Apple-like" seemless process of conveting (AVC)HD video and enabling the burning (archiving) of such video to a digital disk in either iMovie or FCE or whatever, be it a DVD or SD card.
    Ok ... back to my question. Is the gap as large as I understand it to be? Is there no other way to accomplish this task? Is FCE a viable option and/or tool in this effort or not? Am I better off using Toast 10 or is that not even the answer? Help!

    Hi and welcome to the forum!
    I think your expectations are on the whole very realistic, and FCE would certainly help in what you seem to be wanting to do. For converting old VHS tapes, an analog to DV converter will do the trick. You simply plug in the converter to your camera, and it should convert the analog to a DV format that you can capture directly into FCE with the DV Converter preset to make things easier for you.
    As for using AVCHD, FCE does not edit it natively but will convert it upon ingest to Apple Intermediate Codec for editing natively. Not much quality is lost in this conversion, and the Log and Transfer interface within FCE that you use to ingest AVCHD from your camcorder is top notch.
    The thing you have to understand about HD-DVDs is that they are very costly to produce and view, with a rather small viewer base. It is possible as you said to burn HD DVDs using Toast or the DVD Studio Pro that comes with Final Cut Studio. Even then you would need a separate Blue-ray disc burner to hook up to your computer, the expensive HD discs themselves, and an HD DVD reader to hook up to your HD TV. I guess the reason why iDVD does not offer HD DVD burning is that there are a relatively small amount of people who require it or have the funds to make it work smoothly. Very few people have HD DVD readers in their homes anyway, so you can be assured that most DVDs you would burn would be played solely on your machine.
    Do not give up hope! SD DVDs still preserve pretty good quality, are easy to use with the software installed on the Mac, and are assured to play on the majority of TVs owned by people today. If you are bent on getting the HD to work for your TV, Ian's helpful post on [viewing HD videos|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10506824&#10506824] with an inexpensive media player might make more sense for you.
    So all in all, FCE is a viable tool for most things you would like to do with video. However, if you are sure you want to burn to HD DVDs you will need other software and equipment than what comes with your Mac.
