Burn to SACD or Audio DVD?

Is it possible to burn to SACD audio CD formats or burn to an audio DVD under iTunes 9 and Snow Leopard?
Would love to archive to 8GB disc formats ... especially if the DVD can be played back through a home entertainment systems.

I think you mean you want to "AAARRRRRRRRRRRchive!"

Burn iTunes library to Audio DVD

I would like to burn my iTunes library to an "Audio" DVD. I know that iTunes won't do it, but will Toast?

I've tried make a data DVD and it didn't work in my car. I was told that it MUST be an Audio DVD.
I'm assuming you just want to put a large amount of
files on a DVD and play the disc like an MP3 CD in a
DVD player. There is nothing special about this, as
many consumer DVD players supporting MP3 CDs will
also play MP3 DVDs. These are simply data DVDs with
MP3 files on them. You could actually use iTunes to
burn a data DVD taking care to ensure that all the
files to be burned are in MP3 format. If you try
this, just be sure the folder/file structure is just
how you want it before burning. This article should be of some help in
understanding your options as far as how to organize
the contents of an MP3 CD or DVD.
There are also some consumer DVD players that play
AAC DVDs, but in the testing I've done, iTunes AACs
don't work, whereas Nero Digital Audio DVDs
(AAC-Windows/Linux only) work just fine.

Any suggestions? Thx.

iTunes will not burn audio DVDs, only CDs (since iTunes 10.4 iTunes won't even use DVDs for backups). If you wish to burn an audio DVD, you will need to use third-party software. I'm not aware of any current software for Mac that can burn an audio DVD, but there might still be something available.

You appear to be having a hardware problem. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your nearest Apple Store to get a diagnosis.

How do I burn a .mov file to DVD?

I need to burn an MPEG-2 video file saved as .mov to a DVD that will play in a regular DVD player.
I have tried opening iDVD and the selecting 'Create a New Project'. When I have selected a location for the project and the main window opens, I go to File > OneStep DVD from Movie...
My understanding is that when I import a movie file, it will burn it straight to the disc without any further options. It does this, however after a couple of minutes the DVD is ejected blank and iDVD says the burn has completed.
How can I solve this problem or is there another way to burn a .mov file to DVD?
Thanks, Dan

A green screen in an indication that the movie is in a format not supported by iDVD. It should be in one of these formats: DV, high-definition video (HDV), MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-4 SD, MPEG-4 HD, and AVCHD. (From SDMacUser's post in What input file formats does iDVD...: Apple Support Communities). The post has other requirements that need to be met.
SD = standard definition.
Open your movie with QT Player and bring up the Info window for the movie. It will have the format:
Another possible reason is the Energy Saving settings on the Mac. Turn off energy saving and screen saver before starting the save as disk image or burn.
Other possible fixes can be found in this tipic: Green Screen with audio after Burning: Apple Support Communities

Burning 16:9 video and DVD Playback

Hi,
I have been trying to burn a 16:9 video (exported from FCP 5 at 853x480) in iDVD 5.0.1 and play it back on my Toshiba SD4000 DVD player. However, everything I try (even setting the player to 16:9 video) results in the video getting stretched to a 4:3 frame on my television. I have an older television that cannot toggle between frame sizes, but I used to be able to play 16:9 video properly on a OLDER JVC DVD player, but now with my new Toshiba SD4000 I cannot. I have tried every variation of frame size settings on the DVD menu and nothing will work. Any ideas?
-JD

Any ideas?
Yes. Don't be put off by the length of the following, it is easier to do than to read!
HOW TO MAINTAIN 16:9 ASPECT FROM IMPORT TO BURN
This is the way I do it. There is no compulsion on you to do it my way, but this works (for me). I started this method before iMovie and iDVD were upgraded to 6.0.3, and because not all elements of the various iDVD themes (particularly the pre-iDVD 6 ones) are consistent in keeping to 16:9 throughout the process.
The widescreen preview works just fine when you check your finished project within iDVD. The problem only happens when you either burn a project or save it to an image.
A bug in iDVD 6, particularly when working with PAL, and which has been reported to Apple, is that the sub-menus in many of the themes (the chapter settings) default to 4:3 aspect, NTSC and mpeg 1, instead of the desired 16:9 in mpeg 2 in PAL. This may be partly a leftover from iDVD 5 or even a newer ‘feature’ of iDVD 6. Either way, it is annoying when it happens, and we must hope Apple cure it in iDVD 7. In the meantime here is my failsafe workaround, which sounds a lot more complicated when reading about it, that it is in practise.
Living in the UK, I use PAL (25 fps). Wherever you see a reference to PAL (25 fps) in the following you may substitute NTSC (30 fps) in the various settings mentioned (if you don’t live in Europe), the basic idea is the same. I still use this method, and take these steps, regardless of whether it is always necessary. Worst case scenario: it would have worked anyway. Best case scenario: it works perfectly where it otherwise wouldn’t!
The object of the exercise is therefore to ‘fix’ all constituent parts of the project (video, titles, theme, effects, even audio!) in the desired 16:9 aspect to avoid producing a DVD where the movie is in 16:9 and the menu is in 4:3 or where other irritating surprises lurk in your project, which you only discover after burning a coaster!
First go to http://www.mydvdedit.com/index.php?lang=english and download myDVDedit. This is shareware although the download is free. Send the guy a few dollars/euros, he deserves it. While you are there, read all about it. Now install it in your Applications Folder. You will need it later.
You have finished your iMovie project with music, transitions and so on, and saved it to you Movies Folder. Before you started the project you naturally set it to DV Widescreen.
Open iDVD. Give the project a name, and save it as Widescreen if it didn’t default to the same aspect as your iMovie project. Now import the iMovie project into iDVD, choose a theme (any theme you like, even if it prefers to stay at 4:3) and save the project. Do what you would normally do to the theme and its drop zones. Save the project.
Now save as Disk Image on your desktop. Leave it there for the moment when it has finished/appeared.
Open your Movies Folder. Create a new folder. Name it PROJECTNAME – TS FILES (where ‘projectname’ is the name of your project!). Close the folder. You can of course call it anything you like, but this aids identification.
Now double-click the disk image on your desktop. It contains two folders: AUDIO_TS (which is empty, but please pretend that it isn’t) and VIDEO_TS. Drag and drop these to the folder you created in your Movies Folder. (This takes a moment).
Click on the AUDIO_TS folder and go to Get Info in the file menu. Right down the bottom is where you have to change the permissions. Under ‘Ownership & Permissions’ change this from Read Only to Read & Write. Click the small triangle next to Details, scroll down and click on ‘Apply to enclosed items’. You will be asked for your root password. Close the get info window, and now click on the VIDEO_TS folder and do the same. Close the Projectname-TS Files folder. You have now allowed yourself to change the properties of the contents of those folders, which leads us to the next all-important step.
Open myDVDedit. Go to File and open the projectname TS Files folder. By all means stare at it shock and awe, but don’t bother finding out what it can do, except for the following:
Top left you fill see a list of files. Lower centre you have a large window. On the vertical menu to the left of that, click te middle one (VTS or VMG).
In the window at the top left, ignore ‘First Play’ (if there was anything to correct in that, myDVDedit will have done so and told you).
Click on VMG Menu en (English). Now the whole thing springs to life.
Set Coding Mode to MPEG-2 (if it isn’t already)
Set Standard to PAL (or NTSC if that is what you want)
Set Aspect to 16:9 (not any of the other options)
Now save the file.
Click on VTS Menu 1 en (English) and repeat as above.
Click on VTS Menu 2 and repeat as above.
You have now permanently ‘fixed’ the entire contents of the TS folder (the disk image) in 16:9 aspect. Close myDVDedit – you won’t need it again until the next project!
If you have Toast 7 Titanium, open it. ‘Select DVD-Video from VIDEO_TS’. Choose Select from the main Toast window and select your projectname-TS Files folder. You are now ready to burn! You can set the burn speed (2x recommended) before the burn commences. Allow Toast to verify the burn before you eject the DVD-R disk.
If you don’t have Toast 7, then I assume you can burn the projectname-TS Files folder (disk image) via Disk Utility. I say ‘assume’ only because I have never tried it that way.
Either way, you now have a DVD which will play as 16:9 widescreen on any TV set, even the old ones where you can’t ask it to letter-box.

Burning .avi with no audio

I am attempting to burn a dvd of .avi movie files using idvd. Quicktime will not play the audio, but the VCL player will. What is the best way to burn this and keep the sound so it will play on a dvd player?

I was having the same problem (video but no audio) trying to burn some .avi files to DVD, using Toast.
I read somewhere on this site (can't remember where) that it might help to add the A52Codec to the /Library/Quicktime folder of my home directory. I simply added the file, and presto, have had sound on every .avi file I've burned.
I have no idea how it works, but it did the trick for me. Maybe worth a try for you, too.
Here's the site I downloaded it from:

Good luck.

Why do my rollover buttons quit working when I burn my project to a DVD?

Hi
I have a reel of my work built and everything functions when I simulate the project in DVD Studio Pro. However, when I burn the project to a DVD, my rollover buttons no longer work )and the quality of my work (menus, images, and videos) becomes very poor. I created my layered rollover buttons and menus using Photoshop. How can I resolve these issues?
Thanks

Welcome to the discussions... Eric has the answer for you - you won't get a rollover effect when you use photoshop layer based menus because of the way that these become a series of different menus when the disc is built. You most certainly can get rollover effects if you use a standard overlay menu type.
The reasons for using a layer menu are largely confined to situations where you absolutely must reveal some contextual information when a user selects a button, and where this information must use a common area of the menu to all of the other buttons that do this. In all other situations avoid using them if you can, as they are so limited, offer slow playback to the end user, need more than one mouse click to activate a button and don't support audio or video backgrounds.
Use a standard overlay and you won't have these issues.

Please-how do I burn my original music to DVD?

Hello super Mac experts!
Here's a strange problem(arent they all?)
I have a superdrive and it works fine for movies with one or two individual song files BUT:
iDVD will only allow me to burn my music library as DATA and not 'audio'
I am a recording artist and would like to burn my ORIGINAL and unencoded music archives as AUDIO copy to DVD and NOT as data files.
That means I wish the resulting music DVD to be played in a DVD player.
This is NOT music plucked from the itunes store or 'factory' cds.
Do I need to get 3rd party software or different DVD format or......???
any help greatly appreciated.
thanks......jak

Dear Fred, Sue...thanks for the info--it looks like Toast 7 will be the answer even tho MAC iDVD Help claims that it will create audio DVDs(not data BU) BUT: when you follow their links on how to do it---the links go nowhere!
I quote the following:
Fred:
I used the DVD Audio specification but the audio quality was not nearly as good as an audio CD. Could have been my DVD player, I suppose.
:)Sue
I could not find a "DVD audio spec" on iDVD menu---where is this beast hiding? ;-].......thanks again......jak

Audio DVD disc

Is it posible to burn an audio dvd disc and not a aac or mp3 disk?

the current version of iTunes will not burn a audio DVD only a data DVD for backup, it won't even play a movie DVD or an audio DVD

I have three videos to edit.How do I save each one so I can burn them together to a DVD?

I have three videos to edit. How do I save each one so I can burn them together to a DVD?

Use Share/Computer/AVI to output each video as a DV-AVI.
Then open a new project set up for DV and combine the three AVIs on that timeline. Voila!

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.

Severe problem with installing and starting Audio-DVD Pla

Hi,
after installing the new drivers (SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_000.exe) for my Audigy2ZS in XP SP3 i had np mic boost and the mixer did not show the mic as an selectable source. So i rolled back to my old drivers and after that i have problems with installing and starting the Audio DVD Player. I tried so far: uninstalling everything like its said solution ID 72, checking HD for corrupted files and i did a repair installation of XP. Nothing helped. When i only install the drivers and the DVD Audio Player from the original CD everything is fine until the reboot adter installation. When the OS tries to start the "chkcolor.exe" the PC instantly reboots. When preventing XP from doing so, there is no reboot, but as soon i want to start the DVD Audio Player a reboot occurs again. When i try to uninstall the DVD Audio Player before unstillaing the drivers, the is also a reboot. First uninstalling the drivers and then the DVD Audio Player, there is no reboot.
Any ideas?
Best regards and thank in advance,

How do I burn an IMovie to a DVD?

Hello all. Happy holidays. I have a bit of a problem that has been nagging me for a few days now. I just completed a twenty five minute I-Movie for my wife, and would like to surprise her with a DVD for Christmas. However, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to burn the movie onto a DVD. I have a one month old MacBook computer (10.5.1), with a new Leopard program. I can see that you can burn a DVD when making a video on IDVD, but what about IMovie? A few online sites mentioned the preferences and/or sharing section. But there is nothing about burning to a DVD here. Is there anyone with an idea on how to do it? Thanks a bunch- hope I can get it done before next Tuesday.
Thanks all,
John :o)

Happy New Year!
I've had the most happiness and joy in my life using Roxio's Toast Titanium 8. You can go to their website and buy it via download, or pick it up at CompUSA or some such place that sells Mac software. Should sell for about $80. It's simple: you open Toast, select "DVD" on the left so you're telling it what kind of disc you'll be burning. Then open the folder on your Mac that contains the iMovie file you've made, and drag the file into the big window (it's REALLY clearly labeled!). Put a disc in, click record, and voila! - you're done as fast as your machine can burn. Hasn't failed me yet, and if you happen to have two burners (I added an external one) you can make copies of that first one so fast it'll make your head spin. Have fun, and Happy New Year!

Do I need to get a separate program to burn multiples copies of a DVD on Mac?

Do I need to get a separate program to burn multiples copies of a DVD on Mac, and not have the copies separate into AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS? I made a series of lesson plans on iMovie. When it opens on the original disk, it goes right to my music and intro menu. When I try to burn it to a new DVD, it shows up as AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. It does not open at all. Please advise.
Thanks,
Chris

Does the disk image that you created from the previously burned iDVD project look like this?
If so you don't copy any part of it to a blank DVD. You open Disk Utility and select it like I do in this screenshot:
insert a blank DVD and click on the Burn button.
