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

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?

I get an error code when burning a movie to DVD

I use Premiere Elements 10 in my iMac OS lion vers. 10.7.2
I have 250 Gb free on my hard disc. The movie I try to burn is between 3-4 Gb
When starting to burn my movie to a DVD the following is seen in order on the screen:
Encoding Menu 2 of 2
Computing Media
Burning disks 1 of 1
and then it burns (at the end pretty quickly) to 99% and stay there.
I get an error code:
Internal software error: /Users/labuser/premiere/elements/molecules/pre10-bullseye/molecule-17/External/AuthorScri pt/Source/DVDCreator/FormatLib/Ma.....
When I look on the DVD, it looks like nothing has been burnt to the DVD.
What can be wrong?

I still have trouble with burning my movies to DVD.
Have tried the following:
Found that I had "-" in many of my file names (clips). I removed them from the file names, but this had no effect.
I moved my entire project folder to a shorter path folder. This had no effect.
I have not managed to find blank DVDs on sale here in Gothenburg, but will try to buy them online.
I have four movies that I want to burn on DVD discs.
Have succeeded in burning two of them.
I've tried to find what distinguishes between the two that are OK and the two that I have not succeeded with. They are all at about the same size, about 27-29 minutes long.
The clips are .m2ts and .mts files.
In one of the movies that are OK, all the clips are .m2ts files. In the second movie (that is OK), most of the clips are .m2ts files, but also there are .mts files.
In the other two movies that are not OK, it's a mix of .m2ts and .mts files.
When I try to burn the two movies which failed, I get the same course as I showed earlier (with an error code).
I must admit that I was wrong when I previously wrote that I could burn all the movies to my hard drive. The ones I can not burn to DVD, I can not burn to my hard drive.

HT1095 burn my movie to DVD without iDVD

How do I burn my movie to DVD? I bought a Macpro last November and there's no iDVD.

Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie.
With iDVD you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.
IDVD is easy to get. It is available on disk as part of iLife 11.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

It generally means that the media is faulty or of poor quality. Most of us here use Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden media.

Your Superdrive may need a clean.
If you have further questions please state what Mac, with what versions of OS X, iMovie and iDVD you are using.

You can't use iMovie to create a video DVD - 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?

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.

Trouble burning avi movies to DVD

im new to the world of apple. i tried burning a movie avi format that was downloaded online. when i tried to drag it to idvd it was showing the progress and "asset embeding" literaly a frame at a time this went on for about 3 hours until i canceled out. i downloaded isquint to convert the file and that has been going for about 2 hours its making progress and going just a little longer than real time. im still unsure what to do after that or if that will even work. If anyone could give me some pointers i would be greatful. or a quicker way to burn full length movies that will be playable on my tv dvd player. THanx

It sounds like something went wrong during the burning of the DVD, and that could be many things. Have you successfully burned a DVD before? You might want to try the iDVD forums to see if they have any hints.
Unfortunately, your 800 MHz G4 is going to be really slow doing video compression. There are some things that you could do like maxing out your memory and upgrading your video card (so that the CPU doesn't have to render your screen along with compressing video) but these still won't make your computer a blazing fast system for video (might not be worth the cost to you). You can also try making sure that you don't do anything else with the computer.
Since it's taking an exceedingly long time to try the compression and view the results, it would probably be advantageous to find a small QuickTime clip on the web and use it in your tests...like some trailers for instance. It's still going to take awhile to render, but at least then you'll get to the point of errors in 4 hours instead of 12 or 28. Once you're successful with a few QuickTime clips, then cut the .AVI clip down to a minute and see if that works. At this point, you'll be able to compare successes and determine where the problem might be.
At the point in the video where you notice the squares, press space to stop, then use the left and right arrow keys to examine frame by frame to see if it's just that your video card is having a problem handling the video when it's running full speed (if it's clear frame by frame, then it'll make a good DVD). I wouldn't change the settings in iSquint yet until we determine if there's a real quality problem.

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 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.

Burn itunes movie to dvd

I purchased a few movies and want to burn them to a dvd. How can I do this? Apple seems to make this very difficult to do.

The movie studios make it difficult for Apple to allow you.
Basically you cannot burn them to DVD except in the form they are presently for backup purposes or to transfer to another device you can authorize to play them.
