Burning a movie help please

Hi everyone I have an Imac and am trying to burn a dvd that is an .avi file. so when I go into IDVD I drag the file to the drop zone that it shows me and then when I hit burn dvd it tells me that my project is too large to fit on the DVD. These are movies that my friend had and they are only 700mb and about 1hr and 40min which is well under the 2hr limit that the DVD's have. Am I doing something wrong or is that a more simple way of doing this? Thanks I appreciate your help.

So I downloaded that program from sourceforge however it tells me that it must reencode the avi files to put them on a dvd and then I have to do it two different times to get the correct version. After all that it starts to burn the DVD and then part way through it tells me that it can not burn it because all of a sudden the file is not the correct one for a DVD. Please help me

DVD movie help please

Hi
I hope someone can spare some time to help me resolve a problem I have.
My wife has made a file in imove consisting of pictures, video and music. We then burned a DVD in toast 7 ( DVD video setting). It plays fine on PC but wont in front row ( the first page is there but it wont play any further). Has anyone any idea what we have done wrong.
Cheers
Pete

Why don't try burning the movie using iDVD. Just go to iMovie menu and choose share -> iDVD. Burn it right from iDVD and try. I am not sure about Toast.

Need to transfer my IMovie to PC to burn a DVD-Help Please

Hello! I created a slideshow with music using IMovie. My MacBook does not have a DVD burner but my PC does. I need to somehow save my slideshow as a file that I can put on my external hardrive and then transfer to my PC to burn a DVD. I tried to do this twice, once it saved as a .mov (or something like this) file and then as a Quicktime file and neither would work on my PC. My PC is older and does not have Vista. Not sure if that makes a difference. I need to do this asap and am hoping not to have to go spend $$ on an external DVD harddrive for my Mac. (Plus, I have called the local Apple stores and no one even carries one.) Thanks in advance for any help in completing my holiday gifts for family!

Craftymom43,

SD Sales BOM and Stock Movement--Help please

Hi,
Scenario:
Client is dealing with Value packs. i.e. He creates a finish good by using 2 finish goods as components by creating Sales BOM.
Basic Requirement: To have component level treatment i.e. pricing delivery to be incorporated for components.
Item cat grp selected as LUMF for BOM parent Item in material master.
But the requirement is that stock movements should reflect for both parent as well as BOM materials upon PGI. Header stock is required to check the stock availibity.
By this approach no movements can be seen for parent which will give a wrong picture of the stock positions for Parent Material.
How this can be handled whereby we can see the stock movements for both Parent as well as components.
Please suggest
Regards,
manOO

Hi,
Please Use Two Different Item Categories and Schedule Line Categories in this Scenarios and Please ensure that both should be relevant for Delivery.
Hope this sloves your Puprose and Please Reward If Really Helpful,
Thanks and Regards,

Error code 0x80020063 when trying to burn cds. HELP PLEASE

I have a brand new Macbook Pro, less than 90 days old and am having CD burning issues.
Every other cd I try to burn it fails at the end when it goes to verify the CD. This is getting old as I am throwing away half my CD's. I have searched all over and cannot find a fix. HELP, whats the deal here.

If this is the error (error code 0x80020063) then it may be happening on verification. The second time it occurred I popped the disk back in and ran disk utilities to verify the "faulty" CD. It came up clean. When I double clicked on it, all the files I had copied were there. I even opened a few to make sure. It may be a spurious reading—at least it was in my case. Hope this helps.

IDVD burning poorly? Help please

Hi,
Not sure why when i burn on iDVD the quality is freaking poor i'm burning on the best quailty (as per IDVD) so im not sure if it's iMOVIE that's transfering poorly or it's iDVD burning poorly.
I want that the DVD transfer from iMOVIE to come out the same as it is in iMOVIE.
Let me know what i can do,
-Joey

Hi Sue,
No it's just regular DV format to DVD... no photos or anything.
However in iDVD I did use a few photos for my menu screen before playing the actual dvd content... here's a screenshot as you can see it looks pretty clear however when i click on preference, under the PROJECT tab, I highlighted BEST QUALITY and it doesn't come close to the screenshot... why is that?
Is there a way I can make sure it burned very good? I know with Compressor (Final Cut Pro) you can save it as .M2V or .M4V and then burn it in toast along with the .aif file.
Here's my screenshot: http://i21.tinypic.com/24yzdye.png
I hope someone can help me out
Thanks again,

Scripting external movies to buttons in main movie, help please?

I'm building an entirely flash based website using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 2. I'm using external movies for the various pages, and putting buttons that control these movies in the main movie file. Normally, I'd simply put the script to control the buttons on the main movie file, not the external ones, but because there's more than two different pages and I'm fading each external clip in and out, I'm wondering if possible to put the script, for the buttons on the main movie, on the external movies.
I hope I've explained it right, any help appreciated.
Thanks.

ok, i removed the trace from the main timeline and put that trace on the external portfolio movie, here's the output results.
when testing the main movie i i got: _level0
and when testing the external movie i got: undefined
so, by the looks of the results it is tracing back to main movie from the external one, it's just not got a target in main movie. is that right? we've already made sure all the movie clips and buttons involved are referenced and instance names are correct, so how can it be undefined?

Music videos shows up as movies. help please

Ok, first of I know the "get info" way of switching movies to music videos but I have 170 music videos it's really a hassle doing one by one, so I'm asking if there's any way to batch switch the the videos to music videos.

Yes. Assuming you are using a mac there is an app called "Parsley is atomically delicious" which can batch edit meta data on video files including the music video thing

After mixing a project i select bounce and burn the disc that is burned plays on any cd player but when i try to burn the wav or mp3 file that was created the resulting disc will only play in a computer this also happens with video projects help please

after mixing a project i select bounce and burn the disc that is burned plays on any cd player but when i try to burn the wav or mp3 file that was created the resulting disc will only play in a computer this also happens with video projects help please are there any settings i need to alter as it seems the wav or mp3 file i ceated is being converted to a data file somewhere between the folder and disc drive

Same thing for a movie file.. If you want to play back the movie via a DVD and a DVD player you must create a Movie DVD and not just burn files to a data DVD... as Data DVDs are just storage devices for files and therefore will only work with computers...
Movie DVDs are special formats that include things like menus and special file formats.. so they can playback via a DVD Player...
You will need a 3rd party DVD Burning app like Toast which is what i actually use.... or the more popular DVD Creator app...to create and then burn a Movie DVD that will playback on a DVD Player....

It generally means that the media is faulty or of poor quality. Most of us here use Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden media.
OR
Your Superdrive may need a clean.
If you have further questions please state what Mac, with what versions of OS X, iMovie and iDVD you are using.

HT1329 Hi All - My hard drive failed and I am trying to move all my music from my ipod to the new hard drive. I am operating on Win 7 64 bit. Can anyone help please?

Hi All,
My hard drive crashed and is no longer usable. I just installed a new drive however, I am not finding any way to export my recorded CD's from the Ipod touch to the new hard drive. Can anyone help please? I thought by enabling syc with Ipod woudl do it but to no avail.
Thanks

I used a 3rd party program called copytrans http://www.copytrans.net/ that is not free to move my library from my ipod to my itunes library when I had to start from scratch. After that happened I started backing up my music that purchased from the itunes store to a dvd so I would always have it if things went south. Now I always backup my purchased digital music to an optical disc just in case plus everythng else I have is on retail cd's so I can just rebuild my library from scratch again if I have to. You should also regularly back up your itunes media folder to another disc so your entire library will be backed up just in case you should lose your program drive.

Sorry, but I don't know anything about that app.
I did go to their Web site and I see they have a support link. Perhaps you can get help there or in their forum.
If you are OK with a DVD with a basic menu, you could try the Share>DVD option in FCP.
Good luck.

HT201272 I cannot view a movie I rented on iTunes. I have gone through all the troubleshooting and have reset my computer with no luck. My account had been debited and when I go to the movie's site, the price for the rental had increased. Help please!

I recently downloaded "Inequalirt For All," a movie by Robert Reich. I loaded $20 onto my iTunes account and there was a special where I could rent the movie for $0.99. I rented the movie but have not been able to download and play it. The error message says that there was a problem with my download even though it charged my account. I have gone through the troubleshooting steps and have reset my computer. The rental does not show up on my iPad or iPhone either. I would like to watch this movie! Please help! Thank you!
