Burning a DVD through another computer

I have created an iMovie on a laptop that does not have a DVD burner. I also have access to a G4 that does have DVD-burning capabilities. Can I directly burn my iMovie to a DVD via Firewire or USB? Or do I have to move the iMovie from my laptop to the G4 first? Or is there a better alternative?

Welcome to the discussions.
Bring your laptop and a 6-pin to 6-pin firewire cable to the G4. Use Firewire Target Disk Mode to let the G4 use your iBook's hard drive.

    Thanks for the follow up.
    In Premiere Elements 13/13.1, your export choices are in the Publish+Share section of the project. There are several choices and sub-choices.
    Example: Publish+Share/Computer/and then a list of choices under that, such as, MPEG, AVI, AVCHD, XAVC-S, Windows Media, QuickTime, Image, Audio.
    And each has Presets which define the export settings. Adobe offers default settings which are usually optimized ones. But, it also allows you to customize the preset selected. You do that by clicking on the Advanced Button of the selected preset and customizing the settings under the Video Tab, Audio Tab, and, if applicable, Multiplexer Tab.
    From what you wrote, I thought that you might be asking about exporting a video with a video codec = Photo JPEG.
    To do that you would to to
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    QuickTime
    with Presets = either the one for 4:3 of 16:9 as appropriate for your project,
    and then clicking on the Advanced Button, and then the Video Tab under the Advanced Button.
    Then selecting Photo JPEG for the video codec field.
    Tip: The QuickTime choice is not seen unless you scroll down the list of Computer choices. Use the thin scroll bar to the right of the Computer choices.
    Please explore Premiere Elements 13/13.1's Publish+Share/Disc/DVD with standard or widescreen preset for your creation of the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc.
    The Premiere Elements timeline destined for this choice could consistent of supported photos and or videos.
    Please consider.
    Any questions and need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.

  • Created project in PE4, burned to DVD - plays on Computer but not on DVD Player.

    Created project in PE4, burned to DVD - plays on Computer but not on DVD Player.
    Vista Ultimate
    Let me know what other info you need.
    Thanks for your help.

    Yes, the lowest possible Burn speed will be a step in the direction of compatibility.
    As for the Quality setting, Robert Johnson has done tests on various versions of PE and has recommend a setting of about 7.8 (IIRC). Unlike Encore, where one has many more choices, PE limits one to a Quality setting of 8. This is about equivilent to the recommend 7MB/s in Encore. Robert found that just below the 8 max. actually yielded slightly better results, than did the full 8, on his tests.
    The three things that help to insure the greatest compatibility with set-top players are, and in pretty much this order:
    1.) Quality media - Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden or Falcon (US only)
    2.) Burn speed (slower is better. It might take a few minutes more, but if it works, you don't have returns or have to do it again.)
    3.) Bit-rate around 7MB/sec
    Remember - no set-top player HAS to play any Burned DVD. Most do, but some just do not - only replicated, pressed discs. Also, some player are still sensitive to the -R and +R media types. This is less a problem with newer units, however it still could be an issue with many older ones.
    Personally, I test a "master" on four different players, plus my computer, before I Burn a batch, or ship out any. One unit is a very high-end Marantz, another is a mid-level Marantz, one is an RCA "el cheapo" and the other is an older Pioneer. I figure if the disc plays everywhere, there is a good chance that it will play for the client - though there are still no guarantees.
    Good luck,

    If they were synced to your phone, they can only be removed by syncing them off with iTunes.  Create an empty folder on the computer you normally sync your phone with.  Then connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the photos tab and select to sync the empty folder you created earler.  Then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.  This will remove any photos on your phone that were synced to it from a computer.

  • Burning DVD on another computer

    Hello all...
    My burner on the G5 is out. I want to burn my DVD Studio Pro file on my iBookG4, so I hooked up the firewire with my G5 as the target. I need to know how to save my DVD Studio Pro file on the G5 so I can burn it on the iBook. I know I've done this before using Disk Utility but I forgot how.
    Please help
    Thanks,
    Hagen

    I too have never used Disk Utility to burn a DVD. So today I decided to give it a try.
    In DVD Pro make a disk image instead of burning to a DVD.
    Open Disk Utility, click on the burn icon.
    Your promoted to navigate to the disk image.
    Select from the new window your settings.
    Burn.
    At the end of the burn the finalized process can take a few minutes.
    Ah... reading the link from David's post. Now I know how to make a dup of a DVD. So, now I'm free from Toast, yes! If you have already made your DVD follow the directions in David's link.

    To access a DVD or CD on another computer:
    Make sure both computers are on the same network (wired or wireless), and the DVD or CD Sharing software is installed on the computer with the optical drive.
    Make sure the computer with the optical drive is set up to share the disc.
    On a computer with Mac OS X v10.4.10 or later: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sharing, and then select the “DVD or CD Sharing” checkbox. Select “Ask me before allowing others to use my DVD drive” if you want to be notified when a computer tries to access the drive.
    On a computer with Windows XP or Vista: Open the DVD or CD Sharing control panel and select “Enable Remote DVD or CD.” Select “Ask me before allowing others to use my DVD drive” if you want to be notified when a computer tries to access the drive.
    Insert the disc into the optical drive.
    On the computer without the optical drive, select Remote Disc under Devices in a Finder window sidebar. If you see the “Ask to use” button, click it.

    If you are using two Macs you can try to do this via Target Disk Mode. Info here:

  • Help. Help Please, burning to DVD through APE 10

    ok So have been with PE. for years and have just bought a super PC, and forked out for APE 10.... so have just built my movie . with chapters etc . and have now come to burn .....as is my way i burn the file first to file as VOB ... Then normally i burn this using DVD shrink 3.2... But this time for some reason it did not work so i thought i'd burn straight from APE through the "Share" Button (same button as to burn to file) any way (I'm looking at it now as I type) of course there are x3 options (1) burn to DVD. (2) Blu-ray. and (3) AVCHD... ok so follow this .... i opted to burn to DVD but it does not recognise that i have a burner ... now i know your gonna say ...hit the rescan button (Next to the "Burner location button) ... well done that 100 times +  to no avail ... BUT strangly enough... if i chose the option to burn to AVCHD ....Low and behold the burner is there ...("D Optiarc DVD RW AD-7261S") but as you can't play AVCHD files on a normal DVD player i am now stuck as to how to finish off my project... SO would really appreciated some intel on this problem...
    Am running WIN 7
    Have NERO 7 on it (as i need this for DVD shrink to work)
    running DVD shrink 3.2 ... the free version.
    C'mon out there some one must have a work round .... Please

  • Hello - I used a Sony DVD to burn 350 songs. When I put the DVD into another computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. What's preventing songs from being ripped?

    Hello - I used a Sony DVD to burn 350 songs from my iTunes library to share with a friend. When I put the DVD into my friend's computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. Anybody know what's preventing me from ripping what's on the DVD? 

    When I put the DVD into my friend's computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes.
    The import command only works with audio CDs. So if you burned the files in mp3 format, try instead using the "File > Add file to library" or "File > Add folder to library" commands.

  • How to restore a hard drive through another computer?

    My mid-2007 iMac would not load up past the white screen. I tried everything and was unable to get the hard drive to boot up. I took it to the Apple store but due to the age if the machine they would not attempt to fix it. They were not able to boot the computer off an external drive or network. I removed the hard drive to salvage any data I could. I hooked it up to my Mac mini via a SATA enclosure. I was able to remove my photos, music, etc. I now want to restore the hard drive in a last ditch effort to try and save my computer. I have the drive pulled up in disk utility on my Mac mini. I verified the disk and attempted to repair the disk. Both times I received the message: "Error: Unrecognized file system" I am unsure how to restore this disk so I can return it to the iMac and try and get it to load up. Any other ideas?

    If the disk cannot be repaired, then try erasing and reformatting it using Disk Utility. If unable, then try with a different disk repair app, such as DiskWarrior, Drive Genius, or TechTools Pro. If still no go, get a new bare HD to put into the iMac.

  • How to run a vi through another computer?

    I have two different vis on two separate computers and I want to use one computer as master to run both programs.

    Hello AD,
    If understand your question correctly, you would like to command a VI to start execution on a remote computer. If these computers are connected using a network, I would suggest using the VI Server to command the remote VIs. This will allow you to not only execute the VIs, but also perform more advanced operations such as setting the front panel control values remotely
    The Tutorial linked here is a good place to start with using VI server. It also includes an example of creating a VI and running it remotely.
    Have a great day!

  • Playback through another computer

    I have a desktop and a notebook Mac. Can i play from iTunes on my desktop through my notebook connected to my home stereo? I know the airlink would work but I do not have one.
    Thanks

    You can use something like VNC (www.realvnc.com) to remote-control the notebook. There is a MacOS X port available:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/osxvnc/ (server)
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/ (client)
    I just tried it - worked fine first try. The server goes on the notebook and the client on the G5.

  • Satellite C655 - Easiest way to burn a DVD

    Hi
    I have never had a laptop before. Also new to windows 7. Trying to find the simplest way to burn a DVD from another DVD on this new laptop. I know I have to put the info from the DVD on to the laptop. And then burn it on to a blank DVD. I can put the DVD in to the drive. Thats a great start !!! I am looking for the simplest way to "rip" and burn. Even if it means downloading (hopefully free) burning software.
    On my desktop CD burner it was pretty easy to burn from a CD to another CD. 2 trays and software to burn. I know this is more complex. I am somewhat computer challenged, btw. Thanks :)

    Hi lili60,
    The most DVDs and CDs that you can buy are copy protected so I doubt you will be able to copy them. Usually you can only copy disks from friends with private pictures, music, etc. but common disks are copy protected.
    For burning disks you can use the freeware tool CD Burner XP. Thats really nice tool that provide all necessary functions for burning disks. You can download the tool here:

    On the same page you can also find an online help how the program works.
    If you have more questions, please let us know! :)

  • Iphoto library won't burn to DVD

    I'm having problems burning my library to DVD. I'm using a iomega external DVD+/- burner. When I select the pictures i want to burn from the iphoto window, i get this error..."NO DEVICES ARE AVAILABLE FOR BURNING". I tried burning a DVD with another application and it worked fine so I'm assuming it's between iphoto and the burner. I have the latest patch burn installed as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is the only way I can get my library on DVD with all the photo information and film rolls intact.
    Thanks.

    Share ==> burn creates a mini iPhoto library only usable by iPhoto and includes multiple versions of each Photo so the disk requirements several times the sie of just the selected photos
    the answer is to select all the photos in the album, export them (fil menu ==> export - see the user tip on exporting for details of the export options) to a desktop folder and use the finder to burn that folder to disk
