Burning Downloaded movie to DVD/ placing movie to ipod

Hey
I have recently downloaded a movie off itunes and i am having a couple of issues with it.
1. The movie won't go onto my ipod (it did once but never played- went back to menu)
2. I would like to put the movie onto a dvd to play on my dvd player. I have tried various programs- they won't take MPEG-4 format- and i tried to burn it off itunes but only gave me the data dvd option and wouldn't play on any of the dvd players in my home.
If anyone has a solution to these issues that would be great!
Thanks.

iTunes Movies are copy protected and can't be burnt to a DVD for playing in a regular DVD player. As you've already seen they can only be burnt to a Data DVD for backup/storage.
If you have problems with your download you can email iTunes Store Customer Services from this link. Choose a category that most closely describes your problem and add any additional information in the box provided: Customer Service - iTunes Store Support

Burning downloaded content to DVD

Hi all
Seems like I am still a newbie switcher but trying to learn fast. Hope I do not bore you all to tears!
Although I know that QT does not support .avi or .divx formats.
If I download content from the net in those formats (TV series or movies) can I still burn them to a DVD to play on a standard home DVD player? Or should I use something like Visual Hub/iSquint/Handbrake etc. to convert the file formats?
How do I burn the content? Do I merely drag-and-drop the file onto the blank DVD disc-image? Or is that too simple?
Thanks so much,
Chris

I would get QT Pro and the codec you need then file-export. Make sure you own the content . Then figure out which format your dvd-player can play. check out the dvd forum org. ffmpeg also works. some dvd players do divx. I would try to burn a Video CD or a regular DVD. If you do DVD it'll have to be AC3/PCM audio and MPEG-2. That's an extra cost. Or you could try iDVD or DVD Studio pro, but those are kind of buggy also. Verbatim media.

Burning a Mac/PC DVD ROM movie

I have a completed Director movie with Mac and PC projectors.
It was created on the Mac using Director MX. It works fine on all
Macs and PCs but when the duplicating company made a copy it
doesn't work on either platform. They say the following "The
programme runs perfectly from the master on any PC or Mac, however,
when we make duplicates the programme fails to run on a PC
(autostart doesn't work, and nothing happens when the programme is
double-clicked) while on a Mac, the duplicate disc does not even
appear on the desktop. " The master was burned on Mac using Toast
6. Any ideas?

Yes, I used the custom hybrid format. Apparently the issue
was solved by burning a copy on PC using Roxio s/w and then
duplicated which seems to work fine. Thanks

IDVD is not on my system and I cannot download it from the App store. How Do I burn my home movies to DVD?

iDVD is not in my macBook pro and I need an iDVD or a good program to burn my home movies on DVD with menus. I cannot download iDVD or any other professional programs like DVD Studioor ... from App store. Please help me how do I burn my short films to DVD? Also please tell me any other free programs alternate it for burn DVD with putting menus.

Hi
iDVD is not or never been free !
there are up-dates but still You need the original iDVD v. 7.x.x to use them.
Best of program - not sold by Apple any more but on Amazon or e-bay in boxed versions of iLife 11
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 can i burn an itunes downloaded movie to dvd?

I have purchased movies from itunes, downloaded them and can only burn them to data DVD...which is useless in a DVD player. How can I burn these movies to DVD so that I can view them on a DVD player?

You are not licensed to burn any iTunes video products, regardless of whether it's to a data DVD or a playable DVD.
See the iTunes Terms & Conditions, Usage Rules v. "(v) You shall not be entitled to burn video iTunes Products or tone iTunes Products." Additionally, you are only licensed to use iTunes products on iTunes authorized devices, which DVD players are not.

I downloaded some home movies onto my IMac but could not find a way to burn them to a DVD. Does Apple have software to do this or do I need to purchase one. If so, what is recommended.

Do you want to create a video DVD that will plan on a TV set via a DVD player or just burn the video files to a data DVD disk for storage?
If the former the read the following:
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Softwareor eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty 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.
However, there are video DVD authoring apps that are available at the App Store that will create a video DVD disk. They won't be as extensive as iDVD but can create a simple video DVD.
iDVD 7.1.2 is compatible with iDVD but we don't if it will be with the next system generation.

Burning movies to DVD or CD

I want to make movies and burn them to a dvd or cd. How can I do this with a PC?

Thanks. More specifically, the videos are not compatible with Windows MovieMaker. On my current system, they are only compatible with QuickTime, which does not support burning of Dvds or cds. What software is there for PCs to do this?
I would like to be able to take basic clips on my ipod, download them to my pc, then string them together like in imovie or moviemaker, then burn them to a disc.
What software is good to do this? Is getting imovie for the ipod a good option to put the clips together before burning them to a dvd, or is there pc software that will do this? Money is an issue, so is there any good, basic, cheap software available? Do you have to convert the .mov to some other format?
I thought about windows media player, but this does not recognize .mov files.
Thanks again.

Burning movies to DVD using imovie

I downloaded some movies I took from my Canon FS100 to iMovie. How do I burn them on a DVD?

First, make a project. Then share your project to the Media Browser.
If you prefer to make a DVD of your raw import, go to the iDVD Media Browser and navigate to the Event file.

HT4095 how to download my own dvd movies to ipad

I want to convert or download my own dvd movies to my Ipad 2 but how to do it??

Sorry, but if you're referring to commercial and hence copy-protected video DVDs, breaking the copy protection, which would be necessary to copy the videos from the DVD and convert them, is illegal in the US (and other countries), so we're not allowed to discuss it here. Some DVDs and Blu-Ray movies come with a "digital copy" that allows you to download a copy of the movie for use on computers and portable devices. You might see if any of the DVDs you have come with such a feature. Walmart/Vudu also has a service that basicially gives you a digital copy of a DVD you already own. See:
http://www.vudu.com/disc_to_digital.html
If these are home movies that you or someone has burned to DVD and hence are not copy-protected, Handbrake (freeware) is one of the more popular converters. Once converted, you just drag the movie into the iTunes window on your computer and you can then sync it to your iPad.
Regards.

I just finished creating a movie in IMovie and now want to burn it to a DVD and make it loop. Since I just purchased this IMac it no longer comes with IDVD. My question is how to burn and loop a dvd without IDVD. Thanks for any help.

I just finished creating a movie using IMovie and want to burn it to a DVD and loop it. Since I just purchased this mac it looks like they no longer include IDVD. Is there something out there to help me do this. I am new to MAC and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

There is free open source software called Burn that will burn DVDs. Here is a link.
If you wish to pay for software, there are many, including TOAST TITANIUM from Roxio. Apple's retail copy of iLife 11, and Apple's Compressor.
Of these, I would say that iDVD is known for being able to create very professional looking DVDs with intros, menus, lots of interesting templates.
Toast is much simpler and the menus and templates are more plain.
Compressor is a professional tool that does a lot more than make DVDs. Don't expect much in the way of menus or templates.
Burn, I have never tried, since I have iDVD and Toast for those ocasions when I need to burn a DVD. However, since it is free, I think it is worth a try.
Each software package is a little different, but in general, in iMovie, you can use the SHARE menu to SHARE/MOVIE in Large size. Save the movie to your desktop or someplace you can easily find it. Then drag it into the tool of your choice. You can alsouse SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER/LARGE if you have iDVD or Toast.

Help!! I can't get my new macbook to print with my Dell 155w OR burn a home movie to DVD

I cannot get my very recently purchased macbook pro to burn a home video to dvd OR connect to my dell 155w printer. I bought a macbook because it was so highly recomended. But I don't want to keep replacing things. I am so frustrated. I wanted a macbook because of its reputation. But I can't seem to figure out anything. I'm dissapointed and thinking I will just return it.

Your problem may be able to be solved but take this from a Long time Windows user and current Mac owner. Macs are not easier to use. Mac break down just as often as PCs, percentage wise as to how many are sold/produced.
They use the exact same hardware as Win PCs.
The learning curve for OS X is greater then for Windows.
Not sure of the age of your printer but it may not be supported in the newest Mac OS, Lion.
We would need a little more info on how you are trying to connect TO the printer. USB cable or Wirelessly.
As far as burning a Home Movie to DVD. Apple use to supply a program called iDVD for this but with the introduction of Lion OS they stopped supplying that program. You could try another burning program. Try Burn or you could buy something like Toast (Burn is free).
Personally I would return your Macbook Pro and stick to what you know with a good PC notebook.
Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund. Take advantage of that policy.

What is the easiest way to burn imovies onto DVD's. I want to burn more than one movie onto DVD as I create. Can I continue to burn onto the same DVD as the movies are created?

What is the easiest way to burn my imovies onto DVD's? I want to burn movies as I create them and then continue to add more movies to the same DVD as the years go by -- until the DVD is full! Is this possible?

Burning your movie to DVD , slow !

so i have been making lots of home movies, you know the kids parties sort of thing... i finish my editing , and proudly go to burn it onto a DVD for parents and wife etc etc
1hr 45 mins MIN time !!!!!!
am i doing something wrong or is this normal ?
i have a MBP 2.16 ghz

After it's finished, you can save and quit, and the video will be encoded when you open iDVD to burn your project.
That is exactly what is done when the project is saved 'as disk image' so that the project is preserved, ready to be burned (using Disk Utility). Saves on disks, allows you to see if there are any problems before attempting the actual burn.
Also, it worked that way recently for me while making said disk image. The power failed for about a second...just enough to make the mac restart. I thought, oh, great, just as it was nearly finished with the creation of the disk image. It probably had about 3min to go. I figured I had just lost about 6 hours and would have to start the encoding all over again. So, I opted to 'save as disk image' again, and it started with the rendering of the menus and then suddenly 'encoding video' began at the very place it had left off. I was highly skeptical of the resultant disk image, but it took only about 5 min and I had the entire DVD project on the disk image! The burned DVDs were perfect! I had no idea that a power failure would do anything but cause all work to be deleted and necessitate redoing it. What a nice surprise!

Burning Flash movie to DVD

Hi
I am creating a flash animation to be projected. I have to burn in onto a dvd. I have tried converting the .mov file that flash exports, and flv to mpeg. The preview looks fine, but every time the dvd quality is terrible. I have tried HD, h. 264, NTSC. I have also tried converting a .swf to mpeg with no luck.
I am using flash CS5.
Please help.
I was wondering if I try to burn the html file that flash creates to DVD, would that work? Or should I try exporting the image sequence and put it back together in another program such as Final Cut or imovie? Should I use something other than Encore to convert the files?

It's strange that a dvd would be so problematic, especially since it is not a long movie, it has no complicated video or images.
See Jim's suggestion.
DVD is TV, not computer; the specs that determine how DVDs behave on DVD players are very exacting. But primarily, you are no longer creating flash for computer, but for TV/DVD. Follow those rules and you'll get what you are after.
