Burning an NTSC Disc

I have made a few copies of a dvd in pal and have just recreated an identical projected after selecting the ntsc option. However when I try to burn the NTSC version it does not accept my blank DVD-R , the same ones as I used ok for the PAL version. It justs ejects it and askes for a blank dvd!?!?!!?

Sounds strange. Is the DVD really blank?? Have you tried another DVD?
Anyway, you get better quality by converting PAL->NTSC with JES Deinterlacer:

Keeps saying trying to burn a pal onto a ntsc disc

I shot a project on a regular panasonic dvx100a I have been using for years and now that I am trying to put burn a dvd on dvd 7.0.4 and it keeps saying trying to burn a pal project onto a ntsc disc, why would this be coming up first time I have ever seen this come up in 10 yrs, I did take some footage from a friend that shot on mini dv with his jvc gy100 but I dont think that would cause it.

Did you put the footage into iMovie first before burning? This is the sort of message you get when the footage is created in iMovie on PAL (25 fps) and is being burnt with iDVD set to NTSC. I'd check the Preferences in both iMovie and iDVD is set to NTSC (29 fps).
Hope this is a help

Burning a NTSC movie on a PAL disc.

I keep getting the Message
"It seems that we are burning a NTSC movie on a PAL disc. "
The blank DVDs I am using are not formatted as anything and I never got this message until recently upgrading Tiger.

The blank DVDs I am using are not formatted as anythin
Very true.
In the iDVD Preferences you need to change the PAL setting to NTSC BEFORE starting a new project.

While importing and burning some CDs, my entire library has disappeared. Also, there no longer is a "burn file to disc" command in the File menu. I have downloaded the latest version of itunes which restored only tracks I bought from the iTunes store.

Also, the "burn playlist to disc" command has disappeared from the File options. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes but that only restored tracks I'd bought from the iTunes store. I also tried setting up another logon.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

I have created a slideshow using i Photo. How do I burn it to disc so that I can play it on my DVD?

I have created a slideshow using i Photo.
How do I burn it to disc to play on a DVD.
I cannot access i DVD.
Is this the problem?
I have exported the slideshow as a movie quick time file.
What do I do next???

If your Mac is a new one, like mine, then it comes with a version of iLife that doesn't have iDVD and if so, there isn't an easy way to burn a DVD from iPhoto or iMovie that will play on a normal DVD player. There is quite a bit of correspondence about this, but I couldn't find a good answer, apart from this:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18460085#18460085
I ended up buying (via Amazon) a boxed version of iLife11, which has all the same software I already have, but with a copy of iDVD with it.
Seems to work well with iMovie, but at the moment, my copy of iPhoto has crashed - see:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18943719#18943719
Having only just transferred from a Windows machine to a Mac, it seems incredibly arrogant for Apple to think people don't use DVD players anymore.

After canceling the burning of a disc in iTunes my disc drive is no longer recognized.

I have: MBP 13" 10.6.7 w/ a standard dvd/cd burner (the one that normally comes with them)
I was in the process of burning a really long playlist (requiring 4 cds) and at the end of the 4th it was taking forever (5-10 minutes?) to "finish burning" so I decided to cancel the burn and just re-burn that section on a new disc. When I canceled it started taking another 5-10 minutes and nothing would let me eject the disc because it wasn't recognized yet (I didn't let it finish the burn) - I tried disc utility, terminal commands, the eject button, everything.
I then restarted a few times trying the various ways to force eject a disc (holding down the trackpad, pressing option, holding the eject button) but non worked and then once restarted my computer didn't even recognize my disc drive in disc utility. I tried re-burning a playlist so that iTunes would maybe eject the disc in order to insert a new one but it just said "Disc burner or software not found..." At this point I have no idea what to do but I'd really like to have my disc drive working well...
I would appreciate any and all help! Thanks!

My own HP pavillion has the same problem. Try googling "Vista doesn't recognize DVD" one answer is to edit our upper and lower filters in a registry setting, another is to power down and remove battery for at least a minute and a third is a script that you can run. I only mention them because I've seen all 3 and according to the sites all 3 have met with some success. Sadly for me, no glory! Good luck as I'm still looking.

IDVD will no longer burn DVD+R discs

After years of happily burning both -R and +R DVD's, now suddenly my iDVD will only work with -R? I'm stranded here with no -R discs (and a new 50-pack of the other), so I hope you can tell me how to restore this function of my software. I suspect it has to do with updates that make the various components incompatible, but I wouldn't have a clue how to remedy that.
I've tried closing and re-starting iDVD, emptying the trash, removing the motion function, deleting encoded assets, moving com.apple.iDVD something something to the desktop before opening iDVD, but nothing made it keep the disc in the drive. It spits it out saying to please insert a DVD-R disc.
Thanks!

Try this:
1. Instead of burning directly to disc, use the option in iDVD to output to a disc image
2. Upon completion of creating the disc image, use Apple Disk Utility to burn the image to your new media
If that fails, it is likely a media issue; your drive is not compatible with your new media.
Outside of this, something else you can try is to simply see if the disc can be burned using Finder. While in Finder, you can mount writable discs in your drive for backing up files and folders. If Finder cannot mount and write to the disc, again you have a media issue.
What to do?
Wait for Apple to update the drive firmware to handle newer media; or get an external drive that is newer; or purchase new media. The latter is your cheapest and most timely solution.
I've got quite a selection of media here and seem to notice that some brands give me the most problem. I've found that Verbatim, Sony, Fuji, TDK, and Taiyo-Yuden seem to give predictable results time and time again.
My most recent failure was with some off-brand +R DL media I picked up at a Frys sale. While trying to burn a Snow Leopard install disk, I had 3 failures in a row - drive recognized the disc and burned it, but it would not verify. Going back to one of my tried and true brands resulted in success on the first try.
Caveat Emptor.

How do you burn a data disc in ML

Hi
I would like to burn a few install programs to a data disc so that should I ever need to I can reinstall them but I am a a loss as how to do this in mountain lion on 2012 imac I do have a superdrive but since i haven't done this before not sure how to go about it. I have several installer downloads I purchased , I just don't want to repurchase them later if I can help it . thanks for all help:)
also on another note but maybe related can I use my old idvd program from ( not for this but future home movies ) my 2008 imac box set???

In addition to Clinton's method (which is handy if you already have the data files in one place or are willing to move or copy them into one place), you can also make use of "burn folders" -- special folders of aliases that "Burn (name) to disc" will follow while burning. When you drag any file or folder into a burn folder, an alias is created (much faster than copying the data, and less disruptive then moving it).
Search for "burn folder" in Finder Help for more information.

How Do I Burn a Music Disc with Files Names Included?

Hi,
Is it possible to burn a music disc and somehow include the file names so when it is opened in another iTunes (or mine) it will have the track listing there?
Thanks!
James [email protected]

As iTunes does not support CD Text you can't include track information on a AudioCD.
As a workaround you may "Submit Track Names" to CDDA through iTunes Menu Advanced after having burned a CD.

My Slot Drive is giving me trouble. Doesn't burn or read discs that i have/want to work!!

My Slot drive is giving me trouble. It will not burn or read discs that i have/want to work on. It makes a strange noise when i put in a blank cd and spits it back out after 20seconds. It will read third party discs no problem which is very strange indeed. Last week i burned photos to a blank disc and went to make a duplicate and this is when the trouble began. Has anyone ever come across an issue such as this before?? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Well it looks like my media i.e. CDs/DVDs have gone past their sell by date. I purchased new discs to test your theory/bad experience and it looks like i too suffer the same fate!! It's great that this problem i have been having seems to be now rectified although it does lead me to a new issue, as the last two/three years of work saved on these discs are being rejected by my iMac If this is the case then what is the point in purchasing and burning discs for storage over a time that is quite reasonable really(at least 5years)!!!!!

TS1436 Trying to burn a cd disc and receive error code 4450. What is this error code?

When burning a CD disc, The progress bar doesn't move and then I get an error code: 4450. My computer freezes up and no functions will work. I rebooted and downloaded the latest iTunes update but still receive error code 4450. Anyone have suggestions for me. Thank you for your response.

I just thought I would try Force Quit Finder and Relaunch and it has worked. Sorry for wasting anyone's time.

Is Encore CS5 capable of burning BD5/9 discs on DVD-+r discs?

hello,
is Encore CS5 capable of burning BD5/9 discs on DVD-+r discs?
i mostly burn FULL HD AVCHD music videos which are only 3-5 minutes.
i don't want to waste BD media for only 3-4 minutes.
if Encore does do BD5/9 discs, is there a preset for it

Any help / advice is appreciated
thanks,
jeffrey

so hopefully it will be a productive day...

Hi, G550 i wont to burn facroty defult disc, the recovery program cant find the partition of lenovo.

Hi, i have G550 i wont to burn facroty defult disc, the recovery program cant find the partition of lenovo, but i see its there i think the letter of the pratition is change... what can i do? (how much DVDs i need, in the program i see 3 DVDs but all the partition is like 5GB?)

The partition letter can't be changed because it's hidden (at least you use a specific software or specific commands).
The factory disk set are 2 DVDs more and less.
Did you modify your partition schema?

IDVD will only burn to 16X discs and not 8X

I replaced my original superdrive with a pioneer DVR-100 because it can burn at 16X speed and dual layer. Now, iDVD will only burn to 16X discs. When I try to use 8X discs I get an error message. iDVD will begin to write, the disc will spin up twice, then the disc is ejected. The really annoying thing is that it makes those discs unusable.
Any ideas how to fix this.

What brand DVD-R?
I burn Verbatim DVD-R 16X at 4X all the time using a disk image and Toast (or Disk Utility). Try Verbatim. I use other brands too. In both of my "SuperDrives."
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save As Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD 5 project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

Burn photos to disc

With the new iPhoto 11, and Aperture, I have no idea how to burn a CD or DVD with my files, as the older versions let me. How can I do it?
Thanks
Juan Antonio Chavez

iPhoto '11: Create your own photo CDs and DVDs
If you have a disc drive that can burn discs, you can share or archive your photos (and video clips) by putting them on a CD or DVD.
You can burn photos, albums, and video clips to disc, but you can’t directly burn slideshows or projects (such as books, cards, and calendars) created in iPhoto.
To burn a CD or DVD for viewing in iPhoto:
                           Select the albums, photos, or video clips you want to burn to a disc.
                           Choose Share > Burn.
                           Insert a CD-RW disc or a blank CD-R or DVD-R disc into your drive.                           Disc information appears at the bottom of the iPhoto viewing area. The green area on the disc icon represents the amount of disc space your photos require.
                           If necessary, type a new name for the disc in the Name field.
                           Click the Burn button.
                           Click the Burn button in the Burn Disc window.
