Burn to disc via Centrale?

Creative Centrale is showing my disc dri've but it's greyed out, how can I transfer items to be burned to it's

When you burn a disc directly from iPhoto, it makes a disc that is crafted to work with iPhoto, hence the thumbnails (and I believe other supporting files). This disc, when popped into a Mac running iPhoto, should automatically launch iPhoto and show up there, thumbnails and all.
To burn a disc that is intended for Windows users or Mac users who aren't using iPhoto, I've found a good solution is to do a Finder burn. I export the photos I want into a new folder (I put it on my desktop, since it's just temporary), then copy the contents of that folder and paste them into a new blank CD or DVD. After the burn is completed I delete the folder on my desktop.
It may sound convoluted, but it's really quite quick and simple.
There might be other good ways to do this within iPhoto. I'm sure others will post if they have suggestions.

  • Interlaced? (jagged lines) issue when burning a disc

    I uploaded some standard definition DVD-R footage into my 2011 iMac (550gb). To get the DVD-R's vob footage into FCPX for editing, I first transferred the vob's to QT MOV's via MPEG Streamclip. I then imported it into FCPX as is (SD 640x480), then edited and completed my project without any issues or problems in FCPX.
    My plan was to burn the finished project back to an standard definition DVD-R. I wanted to try it via four ways. 1) Burn the disc straight from FCPX. 2) Burn the project as an IMG to my hard drive and make the disc later. 3) Export the finished project as an H.264 QT MOV (at 640x480) and then burn the disc via Compressor. 4) Burn the H.264 MOV via Toast.
    Here's the big problem: When it was time to either burn the project straight from FCPX to a DVD-R, or take my QT MOV of the same project and burn a disc via Compressor or Toast, the finished DVD-R, when played on a DVD player or in my Mac showed MAJOR interlacing issues (those jagged wiggly lines on people's bodies, especially during camera movement).
    So what's strange is, the QT MOV files and the VOB files that I exported to my hard drive from FCPX (before actually making the disc) look and sound perfect. But when I try to burn the actual disc via FCPX, or Compressor, or Toast, the interlacing issues (jagged lines) appear every time. So it's obvious to me that there's something that the disc burning process, itself, doesn't like, or is having issues with. (I tried changing it Progressive and nothing gets rid of those jagged lines.
    Any advice or help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    Then it's probably not interlacing.
    Post a screen shot of a frame before you imported into FCP and another sceen shot shot after exporting.
    (Or is you'd prefer, upload a short section to Dropbox so we can see it and test it first hand.)
    I used h.264 because there was no alternative.
    I don't understand that; if you export as a master file, you should have a whole bunch of codec options.

  • Burning to disc from DVR

    is it possible? i saw there was a tivo software from roxio i belive. i was wondering if i'd be able to plug my DVR into my macbook to import stuff to burn to disc. the DVR has an output to go to a DVD recorded, but i don't want to buy one if i can do it with my macbook.

    The Roxio Popcorn software provides two things--the ability to retrieve files from the TiVo and the ability to convert them into several different formats (MPEG4, etc.). The TiVo files are MPEG2 files with some additional proprietary information. They often can be played in Quicktime but so far I've never been able to hear the audio stream. Conversion by Popcorn turns the TiVo native files into fully compliant MPEG4 files (or desired format). Pulling files off the recorder can also be accomplished with Safari via https (search via Google) or the open source program TiVoDecode Manager. So far, though, I've needed Roxio's Popcorn to convert to fully compliant formats.
    Once you have the compliant formats (MPEG4, etc.) then you can burn them to DVD if you like.

  • Burning to disc problem

    I did a search first and found only one problem and answer dealing with the mac allowing only 1 burn to a disc. I am disappointed and not happy if this cannot be overcome.
    Is there a way to not have the system make the discs "read only" after just one burn to it? On my old windows system, I could keep adding until the disc was full - even on separate burns. That was logical. This problem is not. What am I doing wrong?
    I have dual superdrives and am using Menorex CD-RW. Now, the CD's will burn, but only once. And I KNOW there is room on the disc for other photos.
    And it will also not allow discs previously burned, that have room on them, to be utilized.
    If anyone knows what I am doing wrong, let me know please. I did look in the manuals too, but could not find anything.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. No, iPhoto and Tiger does not support multiple burns to a -R disk. If you're burning using the Share->Burn menu option you don't want to do multiple burns to the same disk as that will not let iPhoto use the disk as intended, that is mount in iPhoto and have the photos, rolls, albums and keywords available.
    If you're burning via the Edit->Export->File Export menu route then you can using a 3rd party application (search VersionTracker.com for burn or multiple burns, etc.). You'll have to export to a folder on the desktop and then burn that folder via the 3rd party application.
    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.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • After mixing a project i select bounce and burn the disc that is burned plays on any cd player but when i try to burn the wav or mp3 file that was created the resulting disc will only play in a computer this also happens with video projects help please

    after mixing a project i select bounce and burn the disc that is burned plays on any cd player but when i try to burn the wav or mp3 file that was created the resulting disc will only play in a computer this also happens with video projects help please are there any settings i need to alter as it seems the wav or mp3 file i ceated is being converted to a data file somewhere between the folder and disc drive

    Same thing for a movie file.. If you want to play back the movie via a DVD and a DVD player you must create a Movie DVD  and not just burn files to a data DVD... as Data DVDs are just storage devices for files and therefore will only work with computers...
    Movie DVDs are special formats that include things like menus and special file formats.. so they can playback via a DVD Player...
    You will need a 3rd party DVD Burning app like Toast which is what i actually use.... or the more popular DVD Creator app...to create and then burn a Movie DVD that will playback on a DVD Player....

  • My iDvd will not burn a disc...there is an encoding error that comes up after the title screen

    Like it says in the title...My iDvd will not burn a disc...there is an encoding error that comes up after the title screen.
    Here is the process that I have been doing.
    1. put in a blank disk and with the project already being done, i hit burn (not too hard).
    2. iDvd then starts to encode the title.
    3. After the title has been encoded, the burning stops and a message comes up saying "there was an error during encoding" and when ever I try to burn the same message keeps on coming up.
    I am running version 7.0.4
    any help would be extremely helpful

    Try using this workflow:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    Then you can concentrate on the content if you can't create a disk image of the project.

      iDVD is not a format that can be viewed online.  Personally I would try creating a slideshow in iPhoto with the same photos and audio as used in iDVD. Then export as a movie file with the Export button at the bottom of the slideshow window:
    Since I don't use Face Book I don't know what size to recommend.  Another option would be to get a YouTube account (free) and upload the Quicktime movie file to it.  You can make videos there private or public. 
    Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.

  • Why doesn't my slideshow burned to disc not play on my dvd player or game devices?

    Why doesn't my slideshow burned to disc not play on my dvd player or game devices?  I've created the slideshow using my Mac on OS X 10.6.8 & burned to both a CD-R & DVD disc.  The disc does work on my computer; however will not play on my dvd player, projectors or gaming devices.

    Did you use iDVD to create a video DVD or did you burn a Quicktime file version of your slideshow to a DVD disk via the Finder thus creating just a data disk?
    If you didn't use iDVD then that's the reason the disk won't play on those other devices.

  • The attempt to burn a disc failed.  Not good.

    Well, I feel like I have exhausted all means to fix my problem. Can't seem to burn a CD. Tried using the Utility functions in resetting my permissions and nothing seemed to work. I open itunes and select a playlist to burn, insert a blank disc, click the burn disc icon and I hear the attempt to burn. But after 30 seconds, the time in the message box starts to increase rather than decrease as the writing of the playlist stops completely. The message I get reads "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry." In my console disc recording log the following appears:

    Here is a solution that worked for me!
    1. Uninstall iTunes 12
    2. Download and install iTunes 11.4
    3. Run iTunes 11.4. You will get a message that the library was created by a newer version. Just dismiss the message.
    4. Uninstall iTunes 11.4
    5. Install iTunes 12.0.1 again. This time disc burning should be working.
    (The prior installation of 11.4 fixes the issue)
    I hope this works for you as well
    Note
    My iTunes 12.0.1 installation was a fresh one to start with. I am using the x64 version on Windows 8.1 x64.

  • Try to burn idvd disc = wont encode

    What was the format of the audio track you used in the menu?  Try converting it to aiff and replace what's there now.
    If you're using the default music replace it with something else and try again. Or change themes.
    Follow this workflow so you can avoid creating coasters if the process doesn't work:

    I think we're all awaiting an update to resolve this issue. Mine does the same thing, i think you'll find other similar posts in both the imac and leopard forums.
    My temporary fix attempt is going to be using an old wireless ethernet bridge connected to the ethernet port of my imac.
    For what its worth you can keep attempting to connect via the airport, and it may eventually connect, mine does, but once you wake from sleep you'll likely have the same issue.
    Not what you were hoping to hear i'm sure.
    Hopefully an update soon?

  • Burned a disc with a QT from Final Cut, cross fades look terrible

    Hello,
    Burned a disc in iDVD 6 with a quicktime bounced from Final Cut. The quicktime itself, when played in quicktime, looks great and has nice crossfades throughout. When burned in iDVD to a disc and played on a television, the crossfades are not rendered, and they look terrible. Decolorized, pixelated, non-existent in some cases. Any ideas why? I'm burning in Toast 8 to see if I can duplicate the problem so as to isolate it as an iDVD or FCP problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Because the QT file isn't compressed while the iDVD file is. And in this case anyway, you prefer the compression offered via Toast instead of iDVD. Bear in mind that one-hour of DV material is roughly 13GB. iDVD (or Toast) compresses this to fit on a 4.3GB DVD. Google MPEG compression to learn more.

  • Burning audio discs in exact order of play list

    I have looked at some discussion re this topic but it is all old and the problem seems not to be resolved. When I burn a disc, it places all the tunes out of order, so when I print the cover sheet playlist, it doesn't match with what is burned on the disc. This is just not acceptable. What can be done to resolve this rather irritating problem? duc13

    OK, based on that info, I see the following at pcidatabase.com:
    Device  Id Chip Description                   Vendor Id  Vendor Name

    Wired and wireless, respectively.
    From this, please try installing the following two packages from your support site:

    The disk you are using probably has a defect, not uncommon on consumer grade disks. Try another disk or better yet another disk from a different manufacturer or at least a different batch.

    Try resetting the SMC and PRAM first, if that doesn't help try a cleaning disc.....and then buy an inexpensive external burner. Slimline super drive failures are all too common.
    To reset the SMC
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
