Burn the Most Compatible DVD ? ? ?

I need to make multiple copies of a DVD project to be used on various set top players & computers. I want them to be as compatible as possible with most player. Considering my limited resources, I have heard several possiblities. (1) Burn at slower speed, (2) Avoid adhesive labels (3) Burn DVD ROM. Could someone please help understand #3 burning a DVD ROM disc. I tried and it would not play on my settop player.
If there are other considerations in the compatiblity area please advise me of them too.
Thanks - Video

1-yes
2-yes
3-no... a MOVIE DVD is not the same as a DATA disc
To
Burn Error Proof DVDs (Well, close to error proof!)
Use the SLOWEST possible burn option your burner will allow in Encore, since it is much better to take a bit more time burning the disc than it is to burn "fast" and have a disc that won't play
Set the VIDEO portion of the transcoding options to a Maximum of 7,000 so your burned disc will have a better chance at playing in desktop players (which support burned discs, if at all, only as an "after thought" of the DVD specification)
Use AC3 or PCM audio transcode settings for best player compatibility (some discussion of MPEG audio not being supported by all players, especially for NTSC discs)
Buy and use Taiyo Yuden (or Verbatim?) brand blank discs

To make multiple copies, have Encore create an ISO on hard drive, then Once an .ISO is created on the hard disk, use the FREE

    I use imovie to create videos. When I burn the video to DVD and play it back there is digital breakup in the playback from the DVD. The digital breakup does not show in playback on the computer. I understand there is a file I need to delete and reboot the computer and imovie will rebuild the file in the program. Help!

    My method is to use the DAW in standard recording mode, and set up the camcorder entirely separately.  After recording, I automate the audio mix with fader moves and effects, then export ("bounce to disk") a full-fidelity AIFF, 16-bit 48 kHz stereo file (most videos use 48, not 44.1).  I use iMovie '11 to import the video from the camera, then import the stereo audio file and match it up to the camera audio by dragging it into the iMovie Project.  Make the waveforms visible, it's not too hard to align.
    Then, use iMovie's "Export as Quicktime" feature.  Here, by going through the menus and options, you can control the audio compression (for example, 256k instead of 128, although 128 seems to be enough for YouTube).
    AppleMan1958 posted a YouTube video about controlling iMovie's export options that may help:

  • FUhr: myFirstMIDlet - what is the most compatible configuration? request fo

    Hello,
    I have just programmed for the first time in java, and in j2me,
    using sun's j2se and j2me. On my own phone, nokia 6230, the
    midlet works well. Also in the sun- and nokia6230-emulator.
    But a friend with a slightly older Nokia phone couldn't get
    it working. Some "not supported" error message.
    Please have a look at the following JAR, it's really really
    small (<4kB), so cheap to download to your phone.
    It's very interesting for me, on which phones which version works:

    http://www.andreasK.de/fuhr/s04/fuhr.jar MIDP1.0 CLDC1.1
    Thanks a lot, already in advance!
    Probably the most compatible is s03, isn't it?
    Do many phones use that?
    What do you think about the program? Please tell me your opinion.
    It's for a festival, the probably best place on earth
    next weekend: www.fusion-festival.de
    Back to my program. The most urgent improvements are:
    * a continuous update whenever a new "real" minute begins
    - any hints how to do that? Timer? Events?
    * a key-lock feature so that the programm can continue
    to run while the phone is in the pocket.
    Can I "overload" the standard keypress-routine?
    How to?
    * a bigger fJahr:1887 display.
    It's already the biggest font size, and changing the font
    seems to work only with MIDP2.0.
    Any hints how to draw a bigger 4-digits-number,
    perhaps even in MIDP1.0?
    * automatically recalculate whenever one of the datetime fields
    has been changed by the user. how to?
    thanks a lot!

    Heho,
    There is a newer version now, without any double variable.
    I hope that solves the "floatingpoint not supported" problem.
    Please try now:

    Hi
    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.

    Hi,
    Unfortunately you can create only 1 set of recovery media.
    Copying and burning the recovery USB to DVD and then using DVD to do system recovery will not work.
    What you can do is back up all your data to an external drive. Do a Factory Reset with the Recovery USB to get back all the partitions including the recovery partition into the HDD.

  • I am trying to get a good copy of my home video on DVD using IDVD.  On editing the video all the viewing screens show the video perfectly in HD.  When I burn the video to DVD all the end results are buzzy with squiggly lines.  Any fix?  Thanks?

    Hi
    There are several layers to this Q
    A. There are no HD in DVD - DVD is as standard only SD-Video what ever tools used to produce it !
    iDVD or DVD-Studio Pro or Roxio Toast™ - will only make SD-Video on DVD
    B. DVD can be better or worse
    • Using "Share to iDVD" is no good way - Better is Share to Media Browser and as Large (NOT HD as result will be worse)
    • Using iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - are not tools to chose if highes quality is of importance - iMovie up to HD6 or FinalCut any version is far better as they send over all lines to iDVD and not only every second one.
    • Using Right encoder quality depending on movie and Manu duration is very important
    • Use of high quality brand of DVD - is important - I use Verbatim DVD-R
    • Type of DVD - DVD-R plays on more DVD-Players (even old ones)
    • Burn speed - I set it down to x4 - resulting in less burn errors - plays on more players
    • I secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up Mac OS hard disk as iDVD and Mac OS needs this and it can not be taked from other hard disks - has to be here.

  • The most compatible  way of offering short movies on a website?

    Hi everyone,
    I am working on a website which offers links to short movies
    which the admin has uploaded. they are in mwv/mpg/avi format. I am
    using this object method, I can see them on my systems, but the
    client cannot make it to work on their systems. I am looking for
    the most compatible way of linking and displaying short movies on
    the site. work with PC and mac.
    this is my current method that apparently is not fully
    compatible:
    <cfoutput><embed src="Media/#MediaParam#"
    width="408" height="354" autostart="1"
    showstatusbar=1></embed></cfoutput>
    any help is appreciated in advance..

    can the data go from the drive direct to the ATV2?
    no.
    iTunes must be running to fetch and serve the content to ATV.
    I ask as its far easier to connect a ATV2 and a Network drive via cat5, however itd be nice to not have to plug a mac in as well.
    if your wireless network is n-capable and doesn't suffer interference problems, that scenario might work.
    Possible try to get a older ATV?
    good luck with that they are hard to come by. try eBay or something.

  • I'd like to know what would be the most compatible Virus protection software that would go with Mozilla Firefox?

    I was recently given "as a gift" a new lap top, at least I was told it was new it's a HP 2000 LAP TOP (NOTEBOOK) PC! IT HAS 4 GB RAM, I don't know if you need more info then that right now but I would gladly get it for you if needed.
    I recently had a computer crash, I had back up on my most important info, but not ALL info that was filed.
    What had happen is somewhat my neglect, the other problem was the "tech" was asking me the most unusual questions, one was I had to find or remember my very first password I started Microsoft with, that was over 5 years ago on my older lap Top. I do have passwords written down for everything that needs one BUT; I didn't have my original password. (I haven't for almost 2 years), I change them just for safety reasons about every 90 days or so. Well As I was trying to use what passwords I had, the "Tech" ("questionable") I did this for approximately 30 minutes before I got fed up and disconnected the connection, which unfortunately, when I tried starting back up I had a blue screen with white writing, that from a past experience meant my computer crashed HOWEVER it did not give me that notice when you crash just said restart your computer. So I did, but after the desktop started showing up with my icons, many of them were missing.
    So I thought This be a good time to use software my friend sent called "Roll back" similar to system restore, but with the ability to find and restore files you may have lost. Well I did recover some, however I lost many files, I am totally unable to watch any DVD MOVIES ON ANY type of player right now. My main Question is "What is the best possible Virus scan/ firewall compatible with my version of Firefox 30"???
    And could it help me in the future if God Forbid something similar were to haunt me in the future?? I couldn't afford anything over $80 . Thank You BuddyD54

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

    * [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
    [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

  • How can I save previews for old projects, while burning the project to DVD?

    I'll admit, I haven't read the user manual cover to cover (or screen to screen for the electronic version), and haven't spent hours combing the discussions here, but I have searched for all the relevant keywords I can think of and can't find a concise answer to this question.
    I get the basic idea of Vaults (I think), but haven't found much info about long term storage of projects. I'm fulltime freelance, but not super busy, and I can easily generate 100,000 images each year. I don't have the cash to be keeping all of these images in Aperture projects on external hard drives for eternity, and I'd be surprised if anyone else does. Good thing I'm not a medium format digital shooter producing 50GB each day huh?
    I remember seeing a clip of a photographer 2 or 3 years ago discussing the differences between storing digital and film images. He was making the point that throwing away files you don't think you'll need again can be a mistake, citing a shot he had of Clinton and Lewinsky together, before Clinton and Lewinsky were news. "If I'd been shooting digital, that image wouldn't exist today". It was a great pic, and when that whoel scandal erupted, it made him alot of money.
    So at present I'm storing every image I take in finished projects on DVD trusting that in the future I'll be looking for a shot of someone I may have shot 5, 10, 15 years ago.
    I caught part of a discussion that talked about keeping the preview files for all the images (and subsequent versions) for each project. I'd love to be able to keep lo-res previews/copies of everything I've shot to date, and have them immediately accessible on my hard drive, while my full size projects are safely stored on DVD, taking up space on a bookshelf rather than on my hard drive. Loading 10 DVD's worth of projects to see what's inside them is a headache I'd like to avoid if possible, in favour of instantly checking out lo-res previews to look a shot up.
    Is there an easy way to burn a completed project to DVD, but keep only the (lo res, lo size) previews on my hard drive?

    hello, kiwi
    quote: "Is there an easy way to burn a completed project to DVD, but keep only the (lo res, lo size) previews on my hard drive?"
    yes.
    maybe,...
    1. you might think of making DVD backups first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
    or,
    2. bring in the photographs to hard drive first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
    the low rez Previews will stay in Aperture but the high quality Versions will be exported onto DVDs and gone from the hard drive (if you delete the originals).
    another way would be to export small about 50-70 pixel wide high quality jpegs to a folder on your Desktop and import & keep these in Aperture Library as a reference. make metadata to show where the original Project DVDs are stored and DVD filing system used.

  • Is uncompressed 8-bit PAL 48 KHz the most compatible format for a HDV dvd

    I have shot a project in HDV, edited in HDV sequence. I now want to produce a dvd, that is compatible on both widescreen and 4:3 tv's.
    A friend suggested exporting a quicktime movie in uncompressed 8-bit PAL 48 KHz to ensure maximum compatibility.
    Would people agree with using this setting?

  • How can I Burn the Best Quality DVD from a project in i-movie 06' HD?

    Hello I shot a sort film with a Cannon HV-30 HD camera, edited it in i-movie 06 HD, it looks amazing! However I am a bit confused on what setting to burn it at in I-DVD...Best Quality or Best Performance? I herd it will not burn in HD so what is the next best? The short film is about 14 minutes long. Any advice would be appreciated!
    Thanks
    Steven

    "Best quality" of course.  ;-)
    "Best performance" is just a faster burning/encoding process. The playback quality is a little lower than "Best quality". Since you burn once and play many times, go for "Best quality".

  • What is the most compatible HD Hard Disk camcorder with a mac?

    I'm looking to purchase a new High Def, Hard Disk camcorder, but I'm unsure what will be compatible with my Mac? I've read on this messageboard that tons of people have trouble getting these hard disk camcorders to sync with their Macs. I want to buy a Sony, but it seems that they are not very Mac friendly. THANKS!

    It's not really an easy question for me to answer, I've gone from a pro DV camera to a consumer HD camera and in many ways I'm a little disappointed, but the comparison is hardly fair.
    My hobbies are video and motor sport, so my cameras get quite a challenge and on occasions the HD camera falls short. But as I say it connects well, I have no reason to believe I bought the wrong consumer camera, (just shouldn't have bought a consumer camera) and there are some pretty cool features such as the 100 fps option (except I can't get that stuff off the camera yet)
