Burning a quicktime movie to a dvd

I am trying to burn a downloaded Quicktime movie onto a DVD. So far I have done so, but the DVD only plays in Quicktime, not on the regular DVD player and not with the computers DVD viewer. The Quicktime movie is in a H.264, AAC Codec format. When I try to adjust the settings under advanced and burning for the DVD I have three options for the Disc Format. Audio CD, MP3 CD and Data CD or DVD. I have chosen the 1st and 3rd options but every time I push burn it gives me the message are you sure you want to create a Data DVD. I don't think I want to create a Data DVD but I have no idea how to not create one and create a regular viewing DVD. I have also tried to load this file onto the IMovie and burn a DVD but then the file will not fit onto the DVD! I'm at a loss. Please help.

You can't create DVD movies directly from QuickTime, I would suggest you use iDVD for create movies that can be played in a home DVD player directly.

  • Burning 2 quicktime movies onto one DVD using iDVD

    I wonder if you could help me.
    I have 2 Quick time movies - created in FCP - one hour and 10 mins each . Is it possible to put both on one DVD using iDVD? (one is the front view and other side view of a performance).
    I have version 5.0.2 iDVD and am burning on desktop G5
    Both movies have chapter markers (created already in FCP)
    Is it possible to do this and how do I do it using the right menu and proper theme etc- and right method of importing or loading the movies.
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks

    Hello Nan,
    a Single Layer DVD can hold a maximum of 120 min of video (incl. menus), so either you burn 2 SL DVDs or try to put both movies on a Double Layer DVD, provided you have a burner capable of writing DL DVD.
    how do I do it using the right menu and proper theme etc- and right method of importing or loading the movies.
    I suggest you have a look at this tutorial by Ken Stone: Authoring with iDVD 5

  • 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

    Rather than burn directly to disk follow this workflow to help assure the best quality 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.

  • Why does th  It is a QuickTime movie from a dvd home recording.

    Why does the audio stop after the movie starts?  It is a QuickTime movie on a dvd home recording.  Also, the video is choppy.

    If you are referring to an MOV file stored on a data DVD for playback in the QT (or similar) media player and not a DVD "authored" for commercial DVD device playback, then it sounds like you encoded it incorrectly. Basically DVD devices have a limited data transfer rate and if this rate is lower than the total playback data rate (combined video + audio data rates), then some of the data is not transfered to your computer fast enough for smooth playback in your media player.
    I would normally recommend compressing your movie content using the H.264/AAC codecs (most efficient Mac standard codecs) and set the "Optimization" pop-up to the "CD/DVD ROM" setting. This option will "package" the encoded content for playback directly from a DVD player that is compatible with data rate limit you impose for the encode. Another option would be to copy the file from your DVD to your computer drive for playback since hard drive data rate transfer is much greater than that of a DVD player.

  • Help please, burning the i-movie project onto DVD

    Hi - I'm brand new to all of this. I have finished creating my i-movie with divided chapters for i-dvd. Then I went to file/share/and sent the i-movie to i-dvd.
    Now what?? I've been looking over the support topics, but I dont want to do anything except burn my i-movie onto a dvd and keep the chapter markers that i saved. I don't know where to begin!!
    I guess I'm just having trouble getting started and making sense of it all. Can anyone help give me a jump-start please?

  • How do I burn my home movies to a DVD?

    I have a MacBook Pro which I purchased in June of 2012. I would like to put my home moives onto a DVD to mail to my relatives. (I don't want ot put them on You Tube.) How can I burn my home movies onto a DVD? I guess you could do this with iDVD in iMovie 11, but the MacBook Pro that I have does not have this feature under Share. What do I do?

    Personally, I use iMovie to edit my home movies, then I use Burn to burn it to a disk. Burn will automatically set the necessary files and everything for you too! Just drag and drop, and click burn.

  • ?? burn multiple iMovie movies onto one dvd with iDVD

    I understand how to burn a single iMovie project onto a dvd by using the share menu to share with iDVD. But how can i burn multiple iMovie projects with iDVD onto one disc??

    You can share the first movie from iMovie, but all the others will need to be exported from iMovie as movies and dragged into the iMovie project.

  • How do I burn a finished movie to a DVD?

    I just finished creating a movie in iMovie.  I need to burn it to a DVD but there is no option in the share menu.  I tried sending it t a file on the desktop and currently it hasn't showed up.  I tried a few times.  Not sure if it just takes a long time and as I tried it 3 times, it's just taking longer.

    For that you need iDVD.
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

  • Followed video about burning my completed movie to a DVD and iDVD was not listed in the sharing drop down. What gives?

    Why wasn't iDVD listed in sharing drop down when trying to burn DVD?

    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)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • 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.

  • How do you burn an iPad movie to a dvd

    how do you burn an iPad imovie to a dvd

    Don't know unless you try.
    Did you know you can update the OS X to Maverisks 10.9  for free? Go to the App store. Then you can update iMovie if necessary.

  • Burning movie to a dvd?

    I just burned my quicktime move to a dvd, now how can I burn the same movie so it can play on a dvd player on my tv? Do I have to convert it?

    Not sure what you're asking
    Are you saying the DVD you burned doesn't play on your TV? If not, how did you encode/burn it, using what software?
    To create a standard DVD than can be played on set top players, first export your movie using Quicktime Movie. Then you could use Roxio Toast or iDVD to make your DVD
    Perhaps you created a data file with your Quicktime movie, not too sure. You have to encode it to MPEG2 first, using the above methods

  • How to burn Quicktime movie to CD

    hello- i need help. instructions on how to burn a quicktime movie to a cd. i exported an iphoto slideshow to quicktime so that i can share with family. now, i have a .mov file but don't know how to burn it to cd. do i need quicktime pro to do this? i appreciate any help. thanks

    If you just want to burn it to a CD (or do you want this CD to play in a DVD player?) all you have to do is insert a blank CD, Choose to let the Finder handle it, drag and drop the file on the CD then drag and drop the file on the Trash (the Trash icon will change to a burn icon).

  • Best Data Rate for Export to DVD as Quicktime Movie

    Hello - hope someone out there can help me!!!
    I put together a slideshow for my high school reunion using iMovie HD 5.0.2 and need help with settings exporting it as a Quicktime movie.
    *I want to export it to a DVD* so that I can play it on a friend's laptop and I'm not sure if iDVD would be the way to go - my friend has a Macbook Pro I can borrow so it might be okay - I am worried about the fact that I've been working on older software. (I have read about opening iDVD and bringing in iMovie project vs. "share to iDVD"). So they suggested instead of iDVD I just export as a quicktime. Then I can burn it in Toast (v.6.0.2)
    Wondering about *BEST DATA RATE?*
    In export settings I have:
    compressor set at H.264
    frame rate: current (should that be DV-NTSC?)
    key frames: automatic (?)
    encoding: best quality/multi-pass
    should data rate be automatic?
    Some details that might be relevant to helping me:
    *Stills brought in as clips with cross-dissolves, only two uses of "Ken Burns effect"
    *Some stills were in the project from my LAST reunion - I realize I should have reimported all the stills since I am now recompressing them, but it's too late now!
    *no audio
    *Slideshow is about 45 mins long, file size says 5.52GB although when I looked into exporting it last night it said 9+GB - not sure why
    *Using a G4 Tower (not my ancient laptop) with OS 10.4.11, Dual 533MHz PowerPC, 1.5GB SDRAM
    iDVD version is 6.0.4
    please help if you can!! thank you in advance...

    Are you trying to burn a standard DVD or are you trying to put a QuickTime .mov file on DVD media?
    A standard DVD doesn't worry about file size (only the duration).
    A "data" DVD is limited to the type of media used. A single layer DVD is about 3.7 GB's.
    In order to make a data DVD you need to keep the data rate low enough to not exceed the DVD media playback abilities. They can't handle the higher rates found in many of the preset options.
    You can avoid all of these headaches by telling the viewer to "copy" the .mov file from the DVD to their Desktop. Then nearly any of the presets option will work.
    H.264 is a great video codec and the "automatic" preset should work just fine. Use "multi-pass" for best quality (takes a very long time). Remove the check mark for "Audio" since your file has none. Leave it checked and you waste file size because a silent audio track would be added.

  • Burning movies (.avi) to dvd

    well what i need to do is burn a .avi movie onto a dvd so that i can watch it on my dvd player in my livingroom. i asume i need a conversion program to convert the .avi to some format of which i dunno. then what do i need to burn the movie onto a viewable dvd?

    Is this a divx .avi?
    If so, do you have the divx codec installed?

    You might also check out divx doctor, which will "fix" or convert the file to a .mov which can be easily used in idvd.
