Burned A Rough To DVD but...

Hi,
I'm mostly happy with what I see on after burning my documentary rough to DVD however,
1) I burned 16:9 because I have some anamorphic footage in there but when I viewed it on a 4:3 TV, some of my shots and credits were cut off on the sides. Even on the wide-screen TV the some of the words were too close to the sides so I'll go smaller on the font size. Is there a TV safe mode I can work to in FCP?
2) I have some video from VHS that was saved as a Quicktime Movie a while back. Every time a clip of it shows it's very jumpy! It's 16 bit Integer (Big Endian) 48K, Uncompressed 8 bit 4:2:2, 640 x 480, 29.97 and a data rate of 149.13 mbits/s. My footage that works fine is more like DV 720 x 480 Little Endian, 29.94 and a data rate of 30.29 mbits/s. Can I export the jumpy video in question with Quicktime Pro to a friendlier format, keep the name and time the same and have FCP connect to it to fix the jumpy problem - I hope to not re-cut?
3) Is there an easy way to calibrate my Acer, Sharp and Westinghouse monitors PROPERLY? I'm seeing things I never noticed in FCP, as clear as day on DVD/TV.

Is there a TV safe mode I can work to in FCP?
Of course. View > Show Overlays > View > Show Title Safe. Make sure the titles stay inside the inner markings.
It's 16 bit Integer (Big Endian) 48K, Uncompressed 8 bit 4:2:2, 640 x 480, 29.97 and a data rate of 149.13 mbits/s.
That is overkill and will do nothing for the quality of VHS. DV/DVC Pro is perfectly adequate.
Or transcode to ProRes if your computer and FCP version support it.
keep the name and time the same and have FCP connect to it to fix the jumpy problem...
Transcode the Uncompressed footage as above, the file will have exactly the same length. Give it the same name but save in a different folder. Reconnect to the files there.
Is there an easy way to calibrate my Acer, Sharp and Westinghouse monitors PROPERLY?
Are these computer monitors, domestic TVs, something else?

I transferred photos from my camera to my computer and created a burn folder. I recorded the burn folder on a DVD but it will not play on my DVD player. What am I doing wrong?

I transferred photos from my camera to burn folder on my macbook Pro. Made a DVD from the burn folder but it will not play on my DVD player. What am I doing wrong?

How did you do this burn? Did you use a program like iDVD? A DVD player requires that the data on the DVD is recorded in the proper format: MPEG-2. A program like iDVD will do this. There are other programs available that can do the proper coding (Roxio 'Toast' for example), but iDVD has the most features and is easy to use. It is no longer available from Apple, but if you search on Amazon, you can find 'iLife 11', a suite of programs including iDVD. It will function properly on Apple's current operating system, but it cannot make a High-Definition (Blue-Ray) presentation. It is Standard Definition only, as are all regular DVD's. One good way to present photos on a TV is to make a slidesow in iPhoto, then export that slideshow to iDVD, where it will be properly formatted for a DVD player. Or, iDVD can make its own slideshow of up to 99 photos. HTH.

Using macbook pro OS X ver 10.7.5 Trying to burn photos to a dvd but disk utility wont allow me to select photos to burn

I have a macbook pro using OS 10.7.5
The Disk Utility asks to select files to be burned. I have inserted a DVD however I cannot select the files as they are dimmed as is the "burn" button.
How can I easily burn photo files to a dvd?

Create a new folder on your Desktop. Drag the photos you want to burn to the DVD into this folder. Open Disk Utility and select New > Disk Image From Folder from DU's File menu. Locate the folder in the File selector then click on the Image button. Enter a Save name and location in the File selector. From the Image Format dropdown menu select the desired format. If you want the DVD compatible on Macs and PCs then select the Hybrid option. Set the Encryption option to None.
This will create a disc image in the location selected. The disc image may then be burned to a DVD.
Or, from the Finder's File menu select New Burn Folder. Drag the photos you want to burn into the Burn Folder created. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the Burn Folder and select Burn "Burn Folder" to disc from the context menu. Follow onscreen prompts.

Hi
There are two structures of DVDs
• Data-DVD - as burned from DeskTop/Finder
• Video-DVD - to be played on a DVD-Player - Needs a program that can do this
One can in iMovie - Export as QuickTime .mov and save this via DeskTop/Finder onto a DVD - BUT this will only play on a Computer and if it is a Window-PC this needs to download QT-player or VLC-player.
But no DVD-player for TV can play back this.
To get a Video-DVD then You need
• iDVD (not from Apple any more) - or -
• DVD Studio Pro (not from Apple any more) - or -
• FinalCut Pro-X (can do simple Video-DVDs) - or -
• Burn - http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html - FREE - but very PLAIN - no fancy things at all.
• Roxio Toast™ 11 Pro - Fairly advanced - and costs a bit - still very Good and lot's of great tool's included. (I love it) - Can also back convert home made DVDs to an editable mode in an OK quality. With BD-component also capable to do sort of Blu-Ray DVDs.

I am Burning my edited project on DVD but after specific time Audio got mute

I have also try my second film to burn on DVD which Duration is 2 Hours 7 min but it got mute after 25 min. I dont know what to do Please help, I want my final output on DVD.
I also have DVD studio Pro please help me if there is any option.
I am Using Mac Pro Prosessor 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon and Memory 6 GB 1066 MHz DDR3

I would first export to dvd, but chosing the hard drive as a destination. This stores a disk image on your hard drive with the content of your dvd.
This way you don't waste a dvd if something goes wrong; plus you can check the resulting disk image with DVD Player just like an actual disc, and you can burn as many copies as you like using Disk Utility.
Another troubleshooting idea: expor a master file and test that. Does it play correctly?
Do you have any audio containing DRM (like an old iTunes purchase, maybe) in your project?

Burn mp3's to DVD. Help!!!

I record Bible lectures for my Mom to listen to. If I continuously record I will split the tracts up, using audacity, into various talks and save as mp3's. They import into iTunes just fine and I can even burn them to CD's for her to use.
My problem is that she is older and has no computer, and does not want to learn anything else other than if they will work in her DVD player. The CD's work just fine, but it takes quite a lot some times. I have tried to burn them to a DVD, but it will not work.
Her player does read mp3's, even from the CD's I have burned in the past. I was hoping to get them all on 1 or 2 DVD's instead of the multiple CD's that it is taking now.
Is there a suggestion as to what I can use to get the mp3's onto a DVD that will work? I have used several setting within iTunes but so far I have not been successful.
Thanks for everyones help.

Use iTunes.
Do it as you normally burn an MP3 CD except select Data CD/DVD.
Make sure you add only MP3 files to this playlist.

Burning movies to a dvd

i cant get my downloaded movie,in iTunes, to burn to a dvd-r. I changed my preferences- advanced- burning to data or dvd, but it keeps telling me i need to insert a blank disc. The disc is blank and so i re-insert it and it "checks media" and then quits. I can't figure it out at all. I'd like to watch my movie on my tv, but things aren't looking so good

iTunes doesn't support what you are trying to do. First problem is that it won't let you. The other is that video files are not in a format compatible with playing in a DVD player anyway. If you get a docking station to plug into TV you could play the video on TV that way.

DVD Studio Pro 4 "Formatting Failed, One of the volumes on the disc is still in use." How do I fix this to burn a project to DVD?

Trying to burn a project to DVD but get this error message: "Formatting Failed, One of the volumes on the disc is still in use."
How can I fix this?
Thank you for the help!

what does this mean?
You have a disc inside your optical drive.
Not sure what they mean by volume still in use, this apparentely is keeping me from burning info such a pictures and or video's,
how can I fix this?
Remove the extra disc.
My answers are basic because:
You never told us which model iMac you have?
How you are burning? Through iMac? External burner?
Which OS you are currently using?

How do you burn pictures onto a dvd?

Hello. I need some help. I been working on trying to burn pictures onto a dvd but still have the pictures in order from at least oldest to newest. I know how to burn pictures I just don't know how to keep them in order still. I have over 7000 pictures on iphoto (i kept dreading saving them lol) and I need to get them to a dvd. I was thinking on making different albums then saving them that way but that's such a hassle. I would rather have just the pictures. Any advice would really much be appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple user to user discussion forums
Files is Files
THe order they are displayed in is determined by the sort order specified in the file viewer you are using and is totally independent of how they are recorded on the DVD
For example if you are using the finder you can go to the view menu ==> show options and select from a number of sort options (they depend on the view you have) which included date created and date modified -- note that a file viewer is only looking at file dates - it has no knowledge of photo dates which are recorded in the EXIF data within the photo

Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty 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.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is 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.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.

I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.
I am running Mac OSX 10.4.11. According to the System profiler the CD/DVD drive is a "PioneerDVD-RWDVR-112D." When I compare the information under this heading, the only unusual difference from my iMac is that the G5 reads "Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)." My iMac reads "Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)."
Under the System Preferences the options are set to "Ask what to do" when a blank CD or DVD is inserted. Music CD set to open iTunes, Picture CD set to open iPhoto, Video DVD set to open DVD player.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks, Jack

Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.

When I try to burn my slideshow.mov to a dvd disc, it will burn but when i put it in the dvd player it says 'disc error'. I have burned it thru iDVD before but forgot how to do it and it won't do it now. The slide show is on my desktop
