Burning a MUSIC DVD Possible?

Is is possible in iTunes to burn a MUSIC DVD that will play in any DVD Player? Burning a MUSIC CD works fine but I would like to use a DVD because of the greater capacity. The only instructions I've found are how to burn a DATA DVD - for back-up I guess, and playing in some computers. I would really appreciate knowing if this is possible and, if so, how it can be done. Thank you very much.

You cannot create an audio DVD.
Many, many DVD players will play AAC and MP3 files on a data DVD.

How can I "burn" a music DVD on my I-Mac?

How can I burn a music DVD on my I-Mac to play in my auto DVD/CD player?

I answered your question in your other thread:

There is no way to do it in iTunes that I know of - you can only burn CDs there. You do need other software to burn to a music DVD.

Music dvd in Toast and iTunes 9.2.1

I am trying to create a music dvd in Toast 10, but it always crashes right at the very end when it is supposed to write the dvd or the image file. Looking at the recovery file in Toast, the last completed file is the dvd folder, though that is probably not completed.
Someone on the Toast 10 Pro forums suggested that burning a music dvd from Toast 10 Pro was messed up with iTunes latest update. At first I was trying to burn 26 playlists (26 cd's in other words), and Toast would crash. Then I combined playlists simply by dragging the separate tracks into a single folder. That's where I am now. But Toast still will not burn the dvd or finish the disk image. Any help or pointers greatly appreciated.
Mac Pro ver 1.1, 13 gig ram, 4 X 2tb hd's, OSX 10.6.4, Toast 10 Pro 10.0.7

Found out how. Lots of work with manual entry of track names. But it works.

When I try to burn a music CD, it insists I am burning a data DVD

When I select a playlist and tell it to burn the playlist the disc as an Audio CD, I get the following message:
"You have inserted a blank DVD but originally selected a CD format. Are you sure you wish to create a data DVD instead?"
Since I asked it to create an audio CD and NOT a data DVD, I have no idea what to do. I simply want to play these files from the CD player.
Any ideas? Is it possible the format of the files (MP3) is to blame?
Note I have never figured out how to create a CD that will play in my normal, several-generations-old CD player.
Thanks.

"You have inserted a blank DVD but originally selected a CD format. Are you sure you wish to create a data DVD instead?"
The message is crystal clear.
YOU CANNOT (not no way, not no how) create a MUSIC CD with a DVD. It's a completely DIFFERENT disc format.
If you want to burn a Music CD, you MUST USE a blank CD to do it.

Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

As far as I know, motion templates can only be used with DVD Studio Pro. FCP X only lets you add a background image to the DVD menu.

How do I burn a backup DVD of my music on my computer

How do I burn a backup DVD of my music on my computer?

well-iDVD Used to be included, but now it's not =-( I think it's around $30
you could try using "Burn" which I think is freeware and will burn basic DVD video discs. Otherwise, you're gonna have to buy something. Yeah, mac's gonna take some gettin' used to, likewise, if I was to try and use a PC, it'd take some getting used to as well. iPhoto might help you with your photos and stuff and it may be included. You may be able to use right click on the movie and burn it to a disc. Dunno if it'll play back on a PC, though... if you had a cloud account or some storage space online you could do it that way, but, enough

Possible to set burn speed with DVD Studio Pro?

Is it possible to set or adjust the burn speed with DVD Studio Pro ver 3..?

Build in DVD Studio Pro, then burn in Toast. Toast will let you adjust the burn speed.

Is it possible to burn a SD DVD correctly from an Encore CS6 Blu-ray project and content?

Hi all,
I shot and edited AVCHD 1080i30 (60i) square pixel video from a Sony NXCAM HXR-NX5U camcorder in Premiere CS6. I then exported the 1920x1080 edited mpeg2 blu-ray m2v file for import into Encore Cs6. Burning a blu-ray disc in Encore CS6 from this mpeg2 bluray m2v file is no problem and look great even with the default settings.
However, I also want to burn a standard DVD using the same HD Encore CS6 project without having to go back to Premiere CS6 and output a 710x480 mpeg-dvd file. I thought i could simply select the dvd format under the build tab in Encore thinking Encore would handle all the necessary conversions to burn a 720x480 DVD but the menus look jaggy and the video does not play smoothly.
Is it possible to burn a standard DVD correctly from an Encore CS6 HD project and content, or is it better to have Premiere CS6 output a 720x480 mpeg-dvd file and create a new standard 720x480 dvd Encore project instead?
Acording to Encore Help, it says "You can build the same project to DVD and Blu‑ray formats no matter which format you select in the New Project or Project Settings dialog box. Encore makes the appropriate adjustments to transcode the elements to the correct format.", but i'm not convinced Encore is doing things correctly.
Thanks.

Jim,
I tried a variation on your suggestion.
I exported a new m2v file using the mpeg-dvd from Premiere CS6 as you suggested with "Use Maximum Render Quality" checked to get better scaling from HD to SD. I imported it into my Blu-ray EncoreCS6 project by using the "Replace Asset" option and changed the "Project Settings" authoring Mode to "DVD" leaving the HD menu's "Aspect Ratio" at 16:9. I then built the disc using the "Build" tab DVD format and output settings.
It worked!
The jaggies are gone (except for some motion jaggies) and the DVD plays well.
I suppose I could have done something similar within Encore but I'll test that some other time.

How do I burn purchased music to DVD

I tried doing it straight from iTunes and it wouldn't play on my dvd player. Any suggestions?

James, in addition to what macmenno has said you should also know that the only types of DVD disc iTunes will burn are data DVDs. This is why the disc would not play in your DVD player, there was no information on the disc readable by the player. iTunes will only burn audio to 74 or 80 minute CD-R.
You can use Roxio Toast to burn DVD Music discs from unprotected audio content, although these are not DVD-Audio discs, which is another format different from DVD Music.

When I burn a slideshow from wondershare fantashow the music is to loud even when I play it on the tv and turn the tv down the music burned on the dvd is still too loud and has a vibrating sound like too much volume.

Hello does anybody know about wondershare fantashow for mac? when I burn a slide show to a dvd the music is too loud. then when i play it on my tv and turn my tv volume down the music on the dvd is still vibrating too loud. How do I adjust that in fatashow before I burn it to dvd? thank you

Hadn't heard of it before today!
There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

Burn Dual layer DVD+R 8.5 GB on OSx 10.5.8----Possible?

I have 5.6GB of photos I want to burn to a DVD. I bought memorex dual layer DVD+R 8.5 GB today. Burning failed. I have OSx 10.5.8. Can my computer burn a dual layer DVD? How do I do it?

Would it be possible to buy and external dvd drive that would have the capability to burn dual layer?
Yes.
I know they have cd/dvd drives for the macbook air. But I'm wondering if I could buy it, hook it up, and it work with idvd.
That model of drive will only work on a MacBook Air. You need a third-party model; iDVD 6 and newer can burn to external drives.

Copy Music DVD to itunes

How do I copy my new Andrea Bocelli music DVD into itunes?

No, CDs aren't generally encrypted.
I purchased the CD's in precisely the same manner as my new music DVD and from the above reply it would appear that I am precluded from enjoying my legally purchased DVD on my own Ipod;
Yup, that's correct.
however, if I had purchased a music DVD from itunes I could only then import this live music onto my Ipod (and possibly create a backup DVD as well?) - surely logic dictates that something is seriously amiss?
The iTunes Store doesn't sell DVDs. Video content sold by the iTunes Store can be back up to a DVD but not burned to a DVD that can be played on a regular DVD player.
There simply must be someone out there to help me with a method and means to get my music DVD onto my Ipod, as this is very important to me.

Making A Slide Show To Burn To A DVD

His I just started using photshop elemnents 13 from a previous 11 version.
In the past I picked some 300 slides to make a slide show with music and then exported it to a WMV and then imported the WMV into premiere elements and burned a DVD. In phtoshop elements when I selected my slide and created a slide show I could choose how many seconds each slide, the color of the borders, the manner in which slide changed and I used random.
You could then do zoom in or out, make extra slide with information, add music and then save and export to a WMV and then import that into premiere elements and then burn a DVD.

Reason I thought PSE4 would burn to a DVD is, there is a button in the slide show screen that says "burn to DVD" in the PSE4 book we were reading.
If Premiere Elements 2 were also installed with Photoshop Elements 4, then it was possible to burn to DVD from the PSE 4 slide show editor by using Premiere Elements 2. Not all writing on that workflow made it obvious that the Premiere Elements software was required.
Would I be better off getting a different program for making slide shows? The pictures I'm trying to make into a slide show are from a 90th birthday party I shoot over the weekend and want to give out copies of a DVD to the guest.
Option 1
If you have already made a slide show in the Photoshop Elements slide show editor, then you might as well do some investigation of the alternatives.
-- What Windows operating system are you running ? If it includes Windows DVD Maker, then I would give that a try. Write your output of the slide show from PSE to a File - WMV - with Size of DVD,NTSC (or DVD,PAL if your TV is PAL format). Then use that WMV file as input to Windows DVD Maker.
-- If you don't have Windows DVD Maker then you could investigate whatever DVD software came with your PC.
FYI - One warning about the photo files that you use in that PSE slide show. If you use hundreds of high resolution photo files, then PSE can have problems. If your output will NOT be High Def (and yours probably will not be since you mentioned a DVD) then "downsizing" the photo files to approx 1000x 750 pixels will decrease the probablility of your having problems with the slide show.
Option 2
If you have not yet started the PSE slide show, then you might consider a program that many people like for slide shows ----- ProShow Gold from Photodex. It does have a trial.

FCE, Sony HD Camera, Family Video Editing, & Burning (HD?)DVD

Ok. Here goes ... I am a new iMac enthusiast who has "seen the light". That being said, I will be purchasing my first iMac in 30 days and I am hopefull that my expectation(s) do not fall flat because they are unrealistic. The only expectation in which there appears to be some doubt is this ... I am planning to convert all of my family videos (present formats of VHS, VHS-C, & AVCHD) to a HD format on a DVD, or at least to another electronic hardware such as a hard drive or a library of SD cards. Well, how many holes do I have in my plan? Before you answer, allow me to tell you my understanding of the barriers. First of all the actual conversion of VHS format to a digital format. I do have a Plextor Digital Video Converter with which I have, in the past, successfully converted the analog VHS format to a digital format and saved on a Windows PC, so I do have some experience with that effort. I do understand the labor intensive exercise this could prove to be. Second, I anticipate the VHS-C conversion to be about the same process. However, what about the video that I presently have on my Sony HDR-SR11? I have already done some importing and editing of said digital video via my daughter's MacPro & iMovie, but what about burning it to DVD? Of course, when I burned the video to DVD it converted to standard format. I want it to be in a HD format. From what I have seen in forums and various discussions on the net, this is almost impossible without some relatively complicated manipulation via Toast 10, BluRay drive, etc. type effort. What is the deal? Why the black hole of interface when it comes to burning digital video to a HD format, even when the original source is HD? It seems to me that there is a huge opportunity for Apple to capture a tremendous segment of business by providng an "Apple-like" seemless process of conveting (AVC)HD video and enabling the burning (archiving) of such video to a digital disk in either iMovie or FCE or whatever, be it a DVD or SD card.
Ok ... back to my question. Is the gap as large as I understand it to be? Is there no other way to accomplish this task? Is FCE a viable option and/or tool in this effort or not? Am I better off using Toast 10 or is that not even the answer? Help!

Hi and welcome to the forum!
I think your expectations are on the whole very realistic, and FCE would certainly help in what you seem to be wanting to do. For converting old VHS tapes, an analog to DV converter will do the trick. You simply plug in the converter to your camera, and it should convert the analog to a DV format that you can capture directly into FCE with the DV Converter preset to make things easier for you.
As for using AVCHD, FCE does not edit it natively but will convert it upon ingest to Apple Intermediate Codec for editing natively. Not much quality is lost in this conversion, and the Log and Transfer interface within FCE that you use to ingest AVCHD from your camcorder is top notch.
The thing you have to understand about HD-DVDs is that they are very costly to produce and view, with a rather small viewer base. It is possible as you said to burn HD DVDs using Toast or the DVD Studio Pro that comes with Final Cut Studio. Even then you would need a separate Blue-ray disc burner to hook up to your computer, the expensive HD discs themselves, and an HD DVD reader to hook up to your HD TV. I guess the reason why iDVD does not offer HD DVD burning is that there are a relatively small amount of people who require it or have the funds to make it work smoothly. Very few people have HD DVD readers in their homes anyway, so you can be assured that most DVDs you would burn would be played solely on your machine.
Do not give up hope! SD DVDs still preserve pretty good quality, are easy to use with the software installed on the Mac, and are assured to play on the majority of TVs owned by people today. If you are bent on getting the HD to work for your TV, Ian's helpful post on [viewing HD videos|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10506824&#10506824] with an inexpensive media player might make more sense for you.
So all in all, FCE is a viable tool for most things you would like to do with video. However, if you are sure you want to burn to HD DVDs you will need other software and equipment than what comes with your Mac.

After burning a successful DVD in iDVD out of FCPX, how can I see the settings it used?
So I finally burned a DVD out of a Apple Pro Res file into iDVD in PAL format. My question now is how can I find out what the exact burn properties were so that I can apply the same burn properties to a project in Compressor 4?
Is it possible to see what iDVD did?

I don't know any way you can interrogate iDVD to reveal settings to the extent that you can in a Compressor project. What you could do is open up the show's VOB in MPEG STreamclip, go to File and Reveal Stream Information; that will at least give you some rudimentary info like average bit rate. Perhaps someone, with more iDVD experience, can chime in here.
The broader question is why use Compressor at all if your current workflow is doing the job to your satisfaction?
The value of Compressor is that it gives you control over the many parameters that affect size quality. and playability. The Compressor presets can give you a starting point for DVD delivery, Web, etc. From those presets, people typically experiment by adjusting the parameters until they get the desired results for their specific show. It's a little bit science and a little bit art. After experimenting, you may be able to get slightly better quality for the project you've successfully burned in iDVD by using Compressor and something likeToast…or maybe not.
Good luck.
