Burn to Disk/save to disk image

A short answer is fine if you can send me to where i can find the explanation of what exactly these are are how to do it. Is it MAC 101? I am new to mac
I have been using the same ol movie to experiment with and see what i can do.
I tried to burn the project to disk and it says its too large..I have nothing in the trash. In Finder and (command i) on the star it says its 13.21gb's
In Finder and QT FQ it says 9.84 gb"s
I only see a burn to disk in i Movie
I don't see an option of saving to disk image but have seen a post where it was being done,it may be the same thing.
I though I would be able to save the movie as just data using very small bytes
without loosing quality. Am I even in the right ballpark here?
thank you

My movie is filmed using the HC3 Sony HD .. Its about 25 min long .I have done everything using HQ when asked , so far with the movie.
I have burned to dvd in iDVD, no problems( other than the time to encode the audio)...lost some quality there in i DVD, but I understand that..Its not burnung to High Def .
I have shared it back to the camera with excellent result. seems like no loss of quality there. Looks great on the HD tv.
I have shared it to Quick Time and viewed it on My PC . Looks good there also.
I have shared it to ITunes and viewed it in iTunes, looks great, but so far unable to put it on an iPod. I have that 60gb ipod that plays music videos and has the movie capabilities.
I saw in iMovie under the dropdown menu under file it has BURN TO DISK
Thats what I tried when it said it was too large..so whats that for?
I am now trying to share to iDVD and I see the> Save as disk image.
Now by doing that I will have saved the movie to a file that I can later use to burn another DVD? Just import it into i DVD and burn. Then it can be played on a dvd player? And I will have lost the capability to share it back to a camera for the high def?
If so I guess the advantage here is that mabey I could save multiple movies on a single disk being the size is so small . Is ther any other advantage...maybe shorter time to burn more of same movies at a later date?
I think I may understand a... little ..
Thanks VJK

Error-29, Cannot burn a DVD or save a disc image from within FCPX using Mountain Lion

Really stumped on this one.
Running Mountain Lion, freshly downloaded version of FCPX, on a 2009 MacPro with 16 G RAM.
Trying to share a 4 minute movie I edited.
- No problem exporting as a quicktime move...worked fine
- Big problem trying to either burn a DVD, save a disc image, or export to an Apple device.
The progress bar gets about 90% complete, and then it stops and a message window comes up that says:
There was an error burning your disc. The operation couldn't be completed. (DSPPublishing error-29)
Thoughts?

From Crash Analyzer:
DSPPublishing error -29 (Final Cut Pro X)
This error can occur when burning a disc if your menu has incompatible assets.
Suggested Actions
If your menu has a background image, make sure the image is not too large. Try reducing the size of the image and saving it as a JPEG or PNG.

Unable to burn AUDIO to DVD or Disk image, video is fine

As many other posts have stated; I am unable to burn the Audio portion of an iDVD nor does "save as disk image" transfer the audio of my iDVD. Transferred an iMovie, (an iPhoto set of photos with iTunes audio imported into iMovie) to iDVD. Audio plays on iMovie, audio plays on iDVD preview. Tried removing recommended ~com.apple.iXXX.plist, no help. Tried different encoding methods: i.e. Best/High/Professional. Tried saving to different sizes HD/Large/etc. Tried Share Media in iTunes, Media Browser, etc. Checked Main Audio, volume slider bar in iDVD. Tried importing audio into iDVD rather than transferring from iMovie. It doesn't seem to matter how I build the iDVD it works, until I go to Save As Disk Image or Burn DVD. Video works great (better in Large than HD) Audio doesn't transfer.
21 total minutes, 1.15GB of final iDVD using a default theme.

Hi
(an iPhoto set of photos with iTunes audio imported into iMovie) to iDVD
Yes this is the problem - in iTunes there is a copy-protection that moves over
Result
• Plays well in iMovie
• Plays well in iDVD preview
• Silent on DVD
Only way around this is to in iTunes collect needed audio into a play-list
Burn this out as an Audio-CD and .aiff (NOT .mp3)
Use the audio on this CD in Your iMovie project.

Help! I have no Save As Disk Image

Ok, I just got iLife 6 and I'm having HUGE problems. I have a plextor external drive and just downloaded toast 7. I tried to go to save as<disk image and it's not there. I don't know what to do, I put to save to desktop and then drag it to toast, but it said it was an unsupported format. I don't know what to do, any advice would be MOST helpful!

tried to go to save as<disk image and it's not there.
File/Save as Disk Image isn't in the Menu bar? Then how did you do this?:

File/Save as Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

How do you acquire multiple image buffers and save to disk later?

Good morning everyone,
I am working with the LabVIEW code posted below. I am taking images through a CCD camera at a high frequency. Therefore, I need this code to be able to keep up with the trigger. I take anywhere from 30 to a few 100 images and acquire them through buffers. The code I have now (which I got from someone else in my lab; I did not write it) saves the images in the for loop in which each is required. This slows down the code considerably. Timing is important to my application. Does anyone know if there is a way to set each buffer aside after they are acquired and then save them to disk AFTER all the images are acquired. I think this will allow the code to keep up with the trigger.
As a side question, I would like to have the code trigger my camera on both the rising and falling edge of the trigger pulse. As you can see from the code, I tried to set this up, but the method I tried doesn't work; each time a new trigger is setup it wipes out the old one. Is there a way to set up 2 triggers?
Thank you very much,
Matt

Left from the loop there's an "Array Subset" vi because I didn't use the first two pictures of the ring.
So you can forget about it and wire the ring directly to the "For Loop".
You can see the Ring as an array of images, so basically you don't need any VI to retrieve an image from the ring, just an "Index array" will do.
Wire the output of the "Index array" to an image control.
This is of course if you first fill the ring and then process it.
If you want live images, then you can use the vi you're using to extract an image from the buffer but I understood that you want to acquire images as fast as possible and process them afterwards.
Correct? Yes, then you don't need the "IMAQ Extract Buffer" vi.
And yes, you can remove everything from the loop, just check if the number of frames is reached.
When all frames are acquired, quit the loop and process the ring buffer.
I checked your code again, and observed that you do nothing with the ring buffer
You build it up in the first For loop and delete it at the end of the code but never used it in the loop
I attach a larger view of the acquisition loop, so that you can have a better idea of the whole ring stuff.
I have a shift register for the ring so that all states can access it.
The state "Save all images" loops through the array, to save the images one by one.
I'm sorry I can't post the complete vi, it's way too large and contains lots of sub vi's to analyse the images and handle the I/O toward the process line.

DIsk Utility, encrypted disk image

I cannot create an encrypted disk image. I have searched through the discussion forums here but have not found an answer. After I select the name, location, image format, encryption and I hit save, I get an error that says "Unable to create '[file name].dmg'. (Resource busy)". I've tried different locations, image format and encryption, but I keep getting the same message. Any ideas what the problem is and how I can fix it? Thanks.
NB: I want to create the disk image so that I can encrypt a few files with sensitive information. I do not want to use filevault, as I understand that it has downsides (e.g., free space needed to turn on and off, and backup with TM).

1. Open the Disk Utility application. (If you don't know where it is, search for it in the spotlight.)
2. At the top of the Disk Utility window, you will see several icons. Click on the one labeled "New Image". Before you do this, make sure that none of the drives on the left column (including "Macintosh HD") are selected.
3. A new window opens. It asks you for the name you want to give the new disk, and where you want to save it to (you can choose to save it on the desktop). It will also ask you for the volume size of the new disk (the default setting is 100MB, but you can give it any size you want). It also asks you for the volume format, encryption (128- or 256-bit; 128 should be enough, unless you want to make it more secure, but compromise a bit of speed), partition (there is no need to partition; in fact, many recommend no partition at all), and image format (if you plan to frequently add and delete files on your encrypted disk, "sparse bundle disk image" is recommended".
4. Click "create". It will ask you to create a password for your disk image.
5. The new disk image should appear on your desktop (or other destination you chose). Double-click on the image to open it. It will ask you for your password. Enter the password you selected. You can choose to save the password on your keychain. That defeats the purpose of encrypting the disk image, since anyone who gains access to your computer will not have to enter the password to open the disk image and see its contents.
I hope this step-by-step guide helps you. Let me know if something is not clear or if I got something wrong.

Burn a data cd using disk utility

Ok, all I want to do it burn a data cd using disk utility. Everything I read talks about "disk images" and "ISO's" how do I just pick a file and burn it? When I go into disk utility and click burn all of my files are transparent and I can't select any of them. How do I simply burn files?

Hi,
You shouldn't need to use Disk Utility to burn a plain data CD/DVD.
Have a read of this article on how to do it:

Hope that helps.

Burning Dual Layer DVD in Disk Utility vs. Burn Folder

Using Disk Utility, I created an Image, (File > New Image from Folder), The resulting .dmg file was about 8.3 Gigabytes. Still in Disk Utility, I select the volume (Filename.dmg) and click Burn, insert a dual layer disk and get a "Disk does not have enough free space" message. I create another image of the same folder, but select "Compressed", giving a folder size of about 6.2 Gigabytes. I try to burn this but again get the "not enough free space" message.
Now I try creating a Burn Folder, put the 6.2 gb Filename.dmg in the folder and select Burn, It burns fine.
Why does the Burn Folder method work and not Disk Utility? What am I missing?
I would appreciate any insight.
Geoff

Hi James:
When you try to copy the dual-layer you may encounter problems because the layer-break may not be where you think it should be.
When you try to copy the actual dual Layer DVD, iDVD will inform you that doing so may result in a disc that has playback problems in DVD players. It states that you are better off burning it with iDVD than from a Disk Utility.
3rd party software that will help would be Roxio's Toast 6, 7 or Popcorn.

HT2490 Can I change Numbers settings to save to disk instead of iCloud?

Hello
I edit private spreadsheets so I don't really want Numbers saving to iCloud and making the data appear on every other Apple device I use. I just want it to save to the disk, just like every other spreadsheet on every other computer I've ever used.
I'm happy with my word processing documents being available on all devices.
Can I change the preferences somewhere so just the Numbers program saves to disk without going through the annoying attempts to save it to the iCloud every time I edit a spreadsheet?
Is it that Apple feels all documents are the same regardless of which program is used to create them? I don't think I'm as enamored with iCloud as Apple seems to be and I'd like more control and specific control over where my data goes. I think if I disable generic iCloud/documents it will erase a lot of other data on devices.
Thanks.
David

Can Adobe Premiere Elements 12 burn a dual layer dvd disk? If not, which of the components is at fault?

When I spoke to a person about upgrading from Premiere Elements 10 to 12, I specifically asked if the program could burn DUAL LAYER 8.5 dvds and I was told that it could. That is the ONLY reason that I upgraded. Since recording in full HD the files are larger. I video plays for local theaters. I have been trying to burn a disk that is 7.5GB (2 hours 15 minutes). I bought RIDATA -RDL 4x 8.5GB disks. Then had a dual layer burner installed in my computer. Premiere Element dialog "incompatible disk" The RITDATA says the problem is Adobe, the Geek Squad says the problem is Adobe.
SO ANSWER THIS QUESTION: Can Adobe Premiere Elements 12 burn a dual layer dvd disk? If not, which of the components is at fault? I am trying to burn 18 copies of this video (no copyright infringements) and don't tell me to to divide it into 3 disks.

Can Adobe Premiere Elements 12 burn a dual layer dvd disk?
Short answer: Yes.
What are you burning to DVD disc - DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc or AVCHD format on DVD?
Does your DVD CD burner support double layer single sided discs?
Premiere Elements is supposed to (been there and done that....)
1. burn to Folder (8.5) for Publish+Share/Disc/DVD and Publish+Share/Disc/AVCHD
(you take the VIDEO_TS for the former and BDMV Folder in the latter to a program like ImgBurn
for the actual burn to the DVD double layer single sided disc)
2. burn to disc 8.5 GB/240 minutes
Have you gone the burn to folder Folder (8.5 GB) route?
Have you tried another brand of disc in spite of by the disc manufacturer and the Geek Squad are telling you?
A double layer single sided disc is labelled 8.5 GB/240 minutes. In reality, that 8.5 GB is 7.95 GB. Where are you
coming up with 7.5 GB for your disc? Was that due to typing glitch?
Please review and consider. Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Add On..Have you updated 12 to the 12.1 Update yet? If not, please do so using the opened project's Help Menu/Update.

How do I avoid the "can't save to disk" notice when updating LION?

I've tried to update Lion 3 times (through Software Update) and after 2 hours of downloading it gives me a notice that it can't "save to disk." I have 80 gigs available on my harddrive so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Please HELP!

Thanks for showing an interest… But!
I have tried all the regular stuff. This problem only showed up in OSX Lion. Up till then all was well at Snow Leopard and Adobe CS5.5 Suite. After upgrading to OSX Lion all Hell broke loose. Quite a catastrophe of conflicts. In Design wouldn’t launch. A problem with Suitcase Fusion 4. But PS CS6 had two major problems. One the Epson Artisan 835 could not be seen in Imports. A conflict between 32 and 64 bit formats and again, drivers. But the most persistent and perplexing problem has been that of the preferences. Oh and one other thing, whenever you quit the program, PS CS6, a message appears saying that the program has quit for no good reason and did I want to send a report to Adobe and/or Mac. Well I must have sent them a thousand reports. What I most suspect is file damage and incompatibility. What I have tried has not found the files to replace those that will reset themselves. i.e. .plst etc. without buggering up the works. I have tried to figure out what might have caused such changes between Snow and Lion other than the well known differences regarding supported stuff, formats and out of date software i.e. Rosetta. Some how or other I suspect damaged files. The kind of damage where a single character is missing and nothing works but no file checker in the world can detect as screwing up the works. Now in several cases a lot of re-installation has been done. But again no help. So putting a finger on the culprit file(s) has not been easy. Fortunately this machine has four active drives so reverting back to where all was OK is easy. But as for going forward, well that is at a standstill.
So, if any body out there has any insight to these three problems I would be most interested to see what you got.
Many Thanks

Mountain Lion Adding over 100 Gb of misc disk space to Disk Utility Image

I've been building 10.8 images for my company. I've been building them on a Mac mini with 8gb of ram running 10.8. Attached to the mini is an external hard drive, connected via 800 firewire. The hard drive has a couple of partitions in it, including a 200 GB "sandbox" partition that I use to create the builds. The builds include MS Office 2011 for Mac, and a couple different versions of CS 5.5 and CS 6. After I create the builds I image the partition to be used later. Using this simple technique, a few months ago I created and imaged 4 different builds using 10.7, Mac for Office and CS 5.5. The completed compressed images ranged in size from about 7 GB to 10 GB.
This past week, I used the same process to build 4 different images using OS X 10.8, MS Office and CS 6 Suite. It wasn't until I suddenly ran out of hard drive space during compression, that I noticed that each of the completed images for 10.8 were roughly 100 GB in size. I can't figure out why these new builds are five times the size of the old ones. The actual programs don't differ that much in terms of software versions and size. I've tried running permissions on the new build. I've tried erasing free space. Nothing. When booted to the image, nothing shows up out of the ordinary in Grand Perspective. However, when I boot off a different partition, then analyze the sandbox partition, GP shows all identifyable programs using about 19 GB of space. There is also a huge gray box it refers to as "146 GB of used space."
It appears that when Disk Utility creates an image from the build on the sandbox partition, its treating the 146 GB of mystery space as if it was actual used space, and builds a humongous dmg. GP doesn't let me delete the space, nor does it identify it's location. I've only run into this once before, on an OS X server where backup software was creating a hidden cached file that grew exponentially. This time around, I'm at a loss. Anyone run into this issue?

i was going to combine these screenshots into a single file but i literally have 0bytes of space left on this hard drive so i obviously cant
this is exciting!
and then about 10 minutes later...
and then about 10 minutes later...
and then about 10 minutes later...
and then about 10 minutes later...
and then about 10 minutes later...
so those are the processes that were running and thats how much they changed in 10 minutes!
Who murdered my hard drive space- where were they doing it, how'd they do it and why!
It's a true mystery!

I can't find iDVD on my computer, and I need to burn a movie onto a disk. Help?

I can't find iDVD on my computer. I need to burn a movie onto a disk, and I need it quickly. Can someone help me? I've searched for iDVD in applications, but it's not there.

iDVD is no longer supported by Apple and does not come pre-loaded on new Macs.
If your computer did not come with iDVD and iWeb preinstalled, you can ask Apple for a free copy here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
Alternatively, you can purchase a boxed version of iLife '11 from Apple, Amazone, etc. Boxed versions come with iDVD and iWeb still on the disk.
