Burned a dvd, works on mac not on pc

I burned a dvd. originally a .mov file. but pc based media players are not reading it as a dvd.
I didnt do anything special to the DVD. I made it as basic as it gets. I need to burn something today that can play in anything without a problem, whether its windows media player or the appl edvd player or a real dvd player for a tv.
Thanks so much. I also have several different file conversion softwares that I can use if starting with .mov is a bad idea.

What codec are you using for your .mov? Did you just Export a QuickTime Movie from FCP, or did you change the codec used?
All video DVDs are SD resolution.
If quality if a concern, then you can do one of two things. Change the resolution in FCP by creating a new Sequence at SD resolution and nesting your original Sequence into it. You then have to scale down and render the file. Then you Export a QuickTime Movie. Bring that into DVD SP, or better yet bring that into Compressor and create a MPEG-2 of the video and a AC3 of the audio and bring those into DVD SP.
Or you Export a QuickTime Movie from FCP at HD resolution, bring that into Compressor. Using the setting Best Quality 90 minutes, create a new setting that is the same but with Frame Controls on. Also create a new setting for Dolby 2.0 with the Dialog Normalization set to -31 and the Compression Preset set to None. Bring those files into DVD SP.

Dual layer DVD works on Mac, not on DVD player

I burned a dual layer video DVD (Verbatim DVD+R DL, what else?!) of a longish video. Works fine on the iMac, but my stand-alone DVD player can't use it.
So, my question is: if a DVD Player can play commercial dual layer DVDs, why not home-made ones?
Comments and suggestions welcome!

Hi Klaus1
My first (and only) thought is
BURN SPEED - Set it down to x2 or x4 MAX
Most common origin of DVDs that only plays on this or that or even not on Mac that burned them is speed of x16 etc.

Problems burning a dvd backup in Mac OS X tiger

hi I have some problems to burn a dvd in my mac, when its burning the dvd for some reason the system reboots I'm trying burning with the finder and the computer its a G5 have an OS X tiger 10.4.11 running in an Intel processor box, with two user accounts, the admin and an other one who's have no admin permission I m login into this account when I tried to burn the dvd I dont know if the permission have something about because with the admin account it works great
so thats my problem if you have an Idea please help me guys
thanks for your time

it's a DVD+R media disc. In Finder I can see the
files on the disc, there's a folder Audio_TS and
VIdeo_TS. There's .VOB, .IFO, .BUP files in the
Video_TS folder and there are no files in the
Audio_TS folder.
The folders and files sound correct (the Audio_TS folder should be empty).
Try launching Apple's DVD Player application in the Application Folder. It should give you the option to open a DVD (I think that's what the new version of Player says - the old version used to say to open the VIDEO_TS Folder)

Try using a different brand of DVD's.

I am trying to burn a dvd and it will not allow me to do this because it states that i do not have enough space for encoding disk. how do i free up space and from where?

I am trying to burn a dvd and it will not allow me to do this because it states I do not have enough space for encoding. how do i free up space and from where?

iDVD can only use your startup hard disk for the "scratch space" it needs for calculations during the encoding process. 25 GB is a good average requirement, but a large project (3 or 4 hours of content) might require more.
To free up space, you will have to move items to an external hard drive and/or delete items you no longer want.
Please note that iDVD can't use and external hard drive for this "scratch space".

How do I burn a DVD. I do not have iDVD, on my new Mac

I have purchased a new Mac (last one was Windows based) I am trying to burn a holiday DVD. I have made the DVD in iMovies, I have purchased an Apple disc burner, Burnt a DVD but the player can not see it - I have been told it is in the wrong format to burn straight from iMovie
I have now install miDVD but can not drag the film into it as it says it can not read the content. Would be greatfull for any help
Thanks

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)
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.
Free solutions:
Burn - a free alternative from Internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
Gives a fairly good resulting Video-DVD
Free DVD Creator.app - free from Apple Store
(very simple - Quality ?? not sure - looked problematic reg. Interlacing)

What do I need to burn a dvd if my mac says it doesnt support SuperDrive

I have a Mac OS X. When i open iDvd it says:
Your Machintosh does not have a supported SuperDrive. Please note that while you will be able to work with iDvd projects you will not be able to burn a DVD disc.
I checked under About this Mac and under CD-Write it only says -R, -RW
I made a movie on iMovie and therefore the only way to get it on a dvd would be through iDVD...right?
So what do I do now? Do I have to buy something? How much will it cost?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome Prisiclaz
If your mac doesn't have an internal burner you can still use an external S-Drive/burner (via firewire) and it should work fine. Lacie makes ext. fw S-Drives for macs or you can make your own like I did with a pioneer 110 or 111 and a standard FW 400/800 enclosure:

Can't burn bootable DVD. Err: Device not supporting this operation

I'm trying to create bootable DVD of Lion. The following error message pops up after clicking "Burn" under "Disk utylity":
"Unable to burn "InstallESD.dmg" (The disc drive doesn't support the requested burn operation)".
Can anyone help?????
More background:
1. Running clean&fresh install of Lion
2. MacBookPro i7 early spring 2011
3. DVD drives's spec:
                    MATSHITA DVD-R   UJ-898:
                      Firmware Revision:          HE13

4. Media type (DVD) which I'm intending to burn it to: TDK +R, 16x, 4.7 GB

                 Write Speeds:          2.4x, 4x, 8x
5. I was able to burn a DVD (to exactly the same DVD type) when doing the burn from under iPhoto and when launching the burn function in Finder ("right click" and select "Burn xxxx file to disc..."
6. BUT I am getting the above mentioned error message when attempting to burn the bootable DVD from under Disk Utilities. I'm following the steps recommended on various forums explaining how to make the bootable DVD drive. Briefly:
               a. placed InstallESD.dmg on my desktop
               b. launched Disk Utility. Verified (checksummed) the InstallESD.dmg file
               c. Press the Burn button
               d. The error message pops up.....
                    (The same happens with x8[max speed], x4, x2.4)

Thanks for the prompt reply. What you say is correct - the installer deleted itself after the instalation.
I then downloaded Lion again (another 8 hrs went by) from AppStore (using the "trick" with pressing "Option" button which changed "Installed" status into "Install" button) and therefore I DO have the Lion instalation content (including the mentioned .dmg file) on my computer ready for burning. (BTW, I've managed to burn a DVD with it from "Finder's" menu. I guess though, that such DVD will not work as the bootable one. Am I correct on it?
So, the status is that I have Lion's "InstallESD.dmg" file visible in the left side of Disk Utility window - the "Burner" (in Disk Utility) just doesn't want to start burning a dvd with this file. I need some suggestions on resolving it. Thank you in advance!

Ipod works in Mac not in PC

Device: Latest generation of Ipod Nano. FAT32 formatted for windows.
Problem: Does not work in Windows XP PC.
Analysis: Upon insertion into the PC the ipod randomly disconnects and shows the 'you may safely disconnect' screen. This usually happens about 2 seconds after insertion. It will disconnect and reconnect every 3-5 seconds...
Further: It is not a fault with the cable. It is not a fault with the USB port on the PC. WORKS IN MY MAC, not in PC.
Any suggestions?

If your PC is a desktop, connect it to a rear port on the PC, connect your keyboard and mouse, disconnect all other USB devices and disconnect from any other network you are on:
You may also have to update or reload the USB Root Driver:

Burn Audio DVD on 2nd Mac (share burner?)

Hi,
Is there a quick/painless way to copy iTunes library between Macs ....
or, better still, to share a second Mac's DVD burner?
I have my entire 6G audio library on my Mac Mini (which is the central hub in my multi-computer wireless household; as there is far less chance of it being lost or stolen than my laptops).
I want to burn a 4.7G playlist onto a DVD that I can then play in my car (which is MP3 compatible. This way I can also select/play the songs using my SatNav menu. Better option than using iPod).
The problem is that my Mac Mini only has a CD burner; but my MacBook Pro has a Super Drive. So, somehow I need to temporarily get 4.7Gs worth of music between computers.
I have shared my library but then the burning option is disabled on my MacBook Pro - even though all my iTunes libraries are logged in with the same id, even though they are all on a local network.
I tried Blue Coconut - but it just hangs saying 'Please Wait' (again, despite it being on a local 54Mb wireless network).
Any easy options?

Transferring 4.7 GB on my wireless network doesn't take long at all. If it's too slow in your case, then you could power off the Mac Mini and connect it via a FireWire cable (6-pin to 6-pin) to your MacBook Pro. Then power on the Mac Mini while depressing the T key on the Mac Mini's keyboard. The entire Mac Mini hard drive should now mount as a FireWire hard drive on the MacBook Pro, and you can you can burn the DVD project "locally."
When you're finished with the project, be sure to eject (unmount) the Mac Mini by dragging its FireWire hard drive icon to the Trash, then power down the Mac Mini and disconnect the FireWire cable from both computers.

Files burned to DVD on Windows XP not visible on my iMac

Of eight zip and PDF files burned to a DVD+R on Windows XP using Nero, only about half are visible when I put the DVD in my iMac.
The DVD is 4.7 GB. There is plenty of leftover space.
When I take the DVD back to my pc at work, all of the 8 files are still there.
Thanks for any help.
best,
Mac

Is there anything in common with the files that aren't visible?
No. Some zip and some PDF.
I don't think that Mac OS X is able to understand Nero files without help. There seems to be a version of Nero for Mac OS X that might help. I also found a mention that Toast can convert Nero files to .dmg format.
I never had trouble before, so I do not think that nero is the issue.
