Burning copies of authored DVD

Hi,
I recently finished authoring a DVD and put a copy of the video and audio TS in a folder that I pulled from the DVD.
I would like to burn copies of the DVD from this folder. When I do however the DVD doens't perform from its authorship. Can anyone help?
Thanx,
John

Place the DVD in the drive
Put DVD in the drive
Go to Disc Utility and select the DVD in the right side then select New Image-->Image Format CD/DVD Master
Save the image, then you will have the image to mount/burn as mentioned in the Ken Stone site article

  • Most Efficent way to burn copies

    i am making lots of copies of amovie i made, i was wondering if its faster to burn copies directly from dvd studio pro, or to make a disk image and burn copies with the disk utility? Or if there is some other way to burn copies that is more efficent

    The towers have a chip in them that controls the functions. You have a little lcd display in the front and just a couple of buttons to scroll thru the menus. I pretty much just load my master, 7 copies and hit "copy" and walk away. It's quiet and doesn't create any appreciable heat. I have 7 Panasonic Dual layer 16X burners in mine. Never done a dual layer but nice to have. You could probably find the parts on ebay or the web and build your own, but it's nice when someone does it for you, you pull it out of the box and go. As far as a seller, I can't remember who I bought it from. As with all ebay transactions, look at the feedback and stay away from people with tons of negatives. And as these are generally new, check to see if you get some kind of warranty. There are lots of different configurations available, at different price points. Using 8X media, mine will burn a 2 hour dvd copy(or 7) in about 10-12 minutes.

  • Do I need to get a separate program to burn multiples copies of a DVD on Mac?

    Do I need to get a separate program to burn multiples copies of a DVD on Mac, and not have the copies separate into AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS?  I made a series of lesson plans on iMovie.  When it opens on the original disk, it goes right to my music and intro menu.  When I try to burn it to a new DVD, it shows up as AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS.  It does not open at all.  Please advise. 
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Does the disk image that you created from the previously burned iDVD project look like this?
    If so you don't copy any part of it to a blank DVD.  You open Disk Utility and select it like I do in this screenshot:
    insert a blank DVD and click on the Burn button. 

  • Burning multiple copies of a DVD

    How do I burn multiple copies of a DVD in DVDSP without it formatting it every time?

    Kevin Rieg wrote:

    Unless I'm misunderstanding, you actually do want DVDSP to Format every time. In DVDSP jargon, Format is the writing of a Build to disc - either optical media or, as Jon mentions, to a hard drive image.
    What you don't want it to do is Build (or Build/Format) every single time. Build your DVD once, then Format (aka Command-F) every single time after that.
    (I recommend Build first - without Formating - because I like to open the folder I've built to in OS X's DVD Player and confirm that all my functionality is correct. Also, once in a blue moon, I'll have some type of Build issue, like a menu rendering incorrectly, that I'd prefer to spot before I commit to Formatting.)

  • I am using Toast 11 to burn dvd's. With FCP10.1.3  I could go into the FCP shared folder grab the encoded .m2v file and drag it into Toast 11 and author dvd and burn.  How can you do this with FCP 10.1.4?

    BenB it creates a disc image only and it's not in .m2v. I think it saved it as an Apple Pro Res 422 format instead. The disc image file format will not allow

  • Burn the Most Compatible DVD ? ? ?

    I need to make multiple copies of a DVD project to be used on various set top players & computers. I want them to be as compatible as possible with most player. Considering my limited resources, I have heard several possiblities. (1) Burn at slower speed, (2) Avoid adhesive labels (3) Burn DVD ROM. Could someone please help understand #3 burning a DVD ROM disc. I tried and it would not play on my settop player.
    If there are other considerations in the compatiblity area please advise me of them too.

    1-yes
    2-yes
    3-no... a MOVIE DVD is not the same as a DATA disc
    To
    Burn Error Proof DVDs (Well, close to error proof!)
    Use the SLOWEST possible burn option your burner will allow in Encore, since it is much better to take a bit more time burning the disc than it is to burn "fast" and have a disc that won't play
    Set the VIDEO portion of the transcoding options to a Maximum of 7,000 so your burned disc will have a better chance at playing in desktop players (which support burned discs, if at all, only as an "after thought" of the DVD specification)
    Use AC3 or PCM audio transcode settings for best player compatibility (some discussion of MPEG audio not being supported by all players, especially for NTSC discs)
    Buy and use Taiyo Yuden (or Verbatim?) brand blank discs

  • How can I make 10 Copies of my DVD

    I have a Mac G5 running system 10.4.7. I am using iLife 6.0.2 and i have Toast 6.0. I have been using iLife for a couple of years and have made many short DVDs using iDVD with no problems. I read an artical in the July, 2005 issue of Macworld on page 78 titled "Prevent DVD Disasters". It tells how to make several DVDs using the disk image method. It also says that you can put the raw images on the disk. I did not try to use disk utility as they suggested. I wanted to use Toast as they also explained. I have made three attempts and each has failed to work properly. Since the movies that I made in iMovie were so short the movies and the raw data fits on the DVD with no problem.
    I created two movies and an intrduction. I work with teenagers in our church. About a dozen of us camped out in the woods behind our house, played paintball and went swimming. I took all of the pictures with a Canon camera. The introduction is 1 minute and 14 seconds, consisting of movie clips and still shots. The first movie that I made was combining 8 video clips that I made using iMovie, the movie is less than 3 minutes long. The second movie consists of one video clip that runs for 33 seconds and 24 still pictures, this movie runs for less than 5 minutes.
    Here is what I am trying to do, one include the raw data and make 10 copies of the DVD with out having to make them with iDVD one at a time. I know that if I use iDVD and make them one at a time it takes much longer than making them from a disk copy. I know it would not be much trouble with this short DVD, but I would like to learn so I could make longer DVDs and save time.

    HOW TO copy previously-burned DVD-R video discs:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42724
    you need to create ONE dvd in iDVD, then you can follow advice in the link above.
    Or simply use the "copy" function of Toast...
    we are less interested in the content of your project (teenagers in your church), but ...
    * did you use a miniDV or a still-cam with some "moving image" ability? which Canon model?
    * do you create an iM project, or did you try to import the files direct to iDVD
    * do you want to create a dataDVD (not possible with iDVD) or a videoDVD?
    you're talking of "raw pics"- do you mean, you want to create a videoDVD with some data content in a DVD-rom section...?
    besides: you should update your version of Toast to 6.1.1. (think this is the actual one)...

  • Burning .mov file to dvd via IDVD

    I created a slide show to music on IMovie. Playing the .mov file through my computer and even projected on a big screen it looks great.  But when converting it to a DVD via IDVD, the font on the couple of lines of text that I have coming up with the pictures is pixilated and really horrible.  I tried a couple of different burns and always choose best quality but the results remain the same.  The dvd created through IDVD is horrible with really badly pixilated edges on the fonts.  How can I burn DVD's so that they look as good as they do playing directly from my .mov file so that I can burn copies for others who have requested my music slide show?  I am working with a brand new MacBook Pro computer and the IMovie and IDVD programs that came with it, if that helps at all.

    Hi,
    The info helps explain what's happening -- the 1080p version is widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) and physically large (1920 pixels wide and 1080 pixels tall), and much more compressed than the DVCPRO50 version (the 1080p file is less than half the size even though it's more than twice the screen space).  So, iDVD would have a difficult time crushing that down into the standard DVD video dimensions.
    The DVCPRO50 version is also widescreen, so you want to be sure your iDVD preference is set to 16:9 aspect ratio (if not, start a new project and re-import). 
    iDVD also has to crush this version to make it fit the standard 720x480 format, but not as much as the 1080p version.  Text can particularly suffer when video dimensions are altered.
    Is your iMovie version gone or just won't open?
    I'd be inclined to experiment with a copy of the DVCPRO50 version.  Try the free MPEG Streamclip to see if it can resize the video to 720x480 before bringing it into a 16:9 iDVD project.  Next try using Streamclip to convert the format to DV (DV Stream or .dv) to see if that format change makes iDVD happier.

  • Where's can i Buy any Professional Authoring DVD for IMAC, did you know about Studio DVD pro ?

    I need help, i need buy or dowload some Professional Authoring DVD for IMAC, I editing in my Final Cut Pro X and need a DVD authoring
    after installing the Mavericks, my IDVD don't work, can someone help about this ?
    also, did you know if DVD studio pro its available for sale ? if yes, where's can I buy  ?
    thanks

    Apple discontinued DVD Studio Pro three/four years ago. You can probably find copies from private sellers, but whether it will work without problems on OS X 10.9 I don't know. I don't know of any "professional" alternative to DVDSP for Mac, but someone else here may be able to offer suggestions.
    As to iDVD, it should work under Mavericks, depending on what version of iDVD you're running. You might ask for assitance in the iDVD forum. For alternatives to iDVD, see this page for suggestions:

  • Re burning a cd or dvd on optical drive

    trying to backup photos and files . have tried a cd-rw and a dvd-rw. the drive erased the contents fine but then will not show the blank disc. when try to burn a pop up says: you will need a disc with X amount of free space
    when try to open disc in finder a window pops up with:
    the disc could not be used because the disc drive is not supported.
    have used this drive to burn copies just a week ago on the same medium
    any advice would be helpful
    thanks

    In theory all the below:
    CD-Write: -R, -RW
    DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW, +R DL
    should be working fine, however i have come across threads where people had similar problems.

    Just try another make of disc and see whether that helps.

  • Need to author DVD from FCP X

    I converted to FCP X and need to author DVDs from the footage I shot.  Since I still have DVD Studio Pro I imported the footage, authored the DVD and burned it. It won't play on my DVD player, Blu Ray player or even my Mac. In the build I get notes that say:
    Note: The directory ‘/Users/melbraneff/Library/Caches/DVD Studio Pro Files/DSPPublishing’ is not a DVD-Video directory and will not be included in the final disc or DLT.
    Note: The directory ‘/Users/melbraneff/Library/Caches/DVD Studio Pro Files/PAR’ is not a DVD-Video directory and will not be included in the final disc or DLT.
    Note: The file ‘TB_Index_Bg_HDNTSC.mov_NTSC_10000.m2v’ found in the ‘DVD Studio Pro Files’ folder is not a DVD-Video file and will not be included in the final disc or DLT.
    Note: The file ‘DVD_01_VS_EAST_BEARS.layout’ found in the ‘HVDVD_TS’ folder is not a DVD-Video file and will not be included in the final disc or DLT.
    Note: The file ‘VOB_DATA.LAY’ found in the ‘HVDVD_TS’ folder is not a DVD-Video file and will not be included in the final disc or DLT.
    I don't know if that is telling me what the problem is or not. Any help would be appreciated.

    FYI, DVD is always SD, irrespective of whether the authoring program is DVD Studio Pro, or something else. The only HD that DVD SP ever supported was the long-obsolete HD DVD.  Nor has Apple ever integrated Blu Ray devices into their hardware.
    There is a lower quality version of Blu Ray that is available in FCP and which can be burned to a normal DVD-R disk. You start with a Bllu Ray setting and select a DVD drive for the Output Device. The limitations are that it's half the bit rate and you're limited to about 30 minutes. But it is HD resolution. Give a try if you're interested.

  • The burn to the PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06A drive failed?

    I was wondering if anyone ever found a solution to this problem? This is the error message I get when I try to burn a DVD in iPhoto.
    "The burn to the PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06A drive failed. The disc drive didn't respond properly and can't recover or retry."
    I am trying to back up all my photos in iPhoto to DVD. I am using iPhoto 11 and I currently run Mac OS X 10.6.8. I made about 10 DVD copies earlier before this problem started without any problems. Now I get this message all the time. I tried burning a movie DVD in iDVD and it worked with no problem so I do not think the DVD burner is defective. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Same for me here...no luck with TDK DL DVD +R. Seems that this drive is extremely picky with DL supports (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1181990).

    #42 - Quick and dirty way to author a DVD
    Shane's Stock Answer #42 - David Roth Weiss' Secret Quick and Dirty Way to Author a DVD:
    The absolute simplest way to make a DVD using FCP and DVDSP is as follows:
    1. Export a QT movie, either a reference file or self contained using current settings.
    2. Open DVDSP, select the "graphical" tab and you will see two little monitors, one blue, one green.
    3. Select the left blue one and hit delete.
    4. Now, select the green one, right click on it amd select the top option "first play".
    5. Now drag your QT from the broswer and drop it on top of the green monitor.
    6. Now, for a DVD from an HD source, look to the right side and select the "general tab" in the track editor, and see the Display Mode, and select "16:9 pan-scan."
    7. Hit the little black and yellow burn icon at the top of the page and put a a DVD in when prompted. DVDSP will encode and burn your new DVD.
    THATS ALL!!!
    NOW...if you want a GOOD LOOKING DVD, instead of taking your REF movie into DVD SP, instead take it into Compressor and choose the BEST QUALITY ENCODE (2 pass VBR) that matches your show timing. Then take THAT result into DVD SP and follow the rest of the steps. Except you can choose "16:9 LETTERBOX" instead of PAN & SCAN if you want to see the entire image.

  • Multi copies of same dvd

    If I am making many copies of one DVD , what is the best way to do that?

    Hi,
    If you want to make copies of a DVD you are making
    via iDVD [a reasonable assumption since you're asking
    the question in the iDVD area]..
    ..Use iDVD to create a Disk Image, then use Disk
    Utility to burn the DVD.
    Since the Disk Image remains after each DVD you burn,
    you can use it as a master to burn multiple,
    identical DVDs.
