Burning DVD files....

Can someone please answer this question.....
Which Roxio Toast app is compatible with my Macbook?
I need to be able to burn .dvd/.avi files For Later Viewing, Not For Re-Sale...
Macbook OSX 10.4.11
2GHz Intel 2 Duo

Hi - and what results you have using Toast? Did you ever used iDVD? I never used Toast but always iDVD, and pretty much every time I run into trouble playing burnt DVD - they skip, or freeze, stutter, etc. I tried all kinds of blank media, thinking that that could be a problem; I started to buy Verbatim with an extra protective layer; I burnt (in iDVD) the discs at 1x speed.... and - still no much of the difference - even if they play once or twice without interruption - the discs will pause, skip, or freeze, or stutter eventually...
WHAT TO DO, so the burnt DVDs will play smoothly?
Is the TOAST 9 or 10 any better at this point (than iDVD)???

Can't burn DVD, file too large?

I downloaded a movie to my hard drive using Drive-In. I am now trying to burn the movie file onto a blank disk but keep getting this error message: "DVD is too large to fit on the disk. Remove some files and try again." Now the file size is 44KB, the disk can hold 4.7GB. Can anyone make sense of this? I opened a burn folder and dragged the movie file into it, do I need to do something else to the file or am I doing it the wrong way? Thanks in advance. Boston

You can not burn that file.

Hi,
It may be worth trying another burning application to see if this helps the issue.
Download and install the free utility, ImgBurn and use this to create the DVD. Guides on using this to burn to single layer and dual layer discs are below.

Burning .avi files

I have an iBook G4 with a that will burn CDs and view DVDs. I've been burning .avi files onto regular CDs, but have a few .avi files that are too big for such discs. Can I burn them on the blank DVDs I see for sale alongside the blank CDs? Or do the discs come formatted in such a way that I can't use them that way, even though I don't want to burn DVD files?

Or you can use the terminal split command. Here are the instructions I COPIED from some other guy on it's site. I've tried it, it works and it's not complicated.
Say you just used forty two to rip a DVD to a 1.1GB AVI file and want to split it up so you can fit it on two CD's. Just fire up the terminal and run split. Here's what it would look like if you wanted to make it fill the first 700mb CD completely and then have a 400mb file for the second CD. % split -b 690m bigsupertroopers.avi supertroopers
The -b option is for bytes and the 690m tells split to break the files into no larger than 690mb files.
This will create two files called supertroopersaa and supertroopersab. If you didn't add the supertroopers on the end of the command you'd have two files named xaa and xab.
To join the files back together, just use the cat command. To join the files in this example, type % cat supertroopersaa supertroopersab > supertroopers.avi
This joins the two files with the > output and creates a filename that follows the > . If you have more than two files or you just don't want to type each split file then you can use wild cards to make it easier. For example, you could just type % cat supertroopers?? > supertroopers.avi and it will join the files just like the above cat command.
You'll then have a file identical to the original bigsupertroopers.avi only now it's called supertroopers.avi or whatever you called it.

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.

I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do? How can I get the data off this disc? I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?

Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive. Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth) around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.

Burning copies of DVD files

With earlier versions of OS X, I could copy previously burned DVDs by transferring the files (AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS or whatever) from the DVD to the desktop, ejecting the original DVD, inserting a new clean DVD, dragging the files to the new disc, and clicking on BURN. Since switching to SnowLeopard, I follow the same steps but get a disc that is unreadable not only by my iMac but by the several DVD players I own. I get a variety of different error messages, e.g. "Unknown Disc" and "Disc is incompatible" and "Disc is unreadable." I can see that something is burned on the disc. Am I doing something wrong or is there some new procedure to follow?

#from Disk Utility help#
To duplicate a CD or DVD (using Disk Utility):
Insert the CD or DVD disc in the optical drive, and select it in the list at the left.
Choose File > New > “Disk Image from {disc name}.”
Type a name for the disk image.
Choose “compressed” or “read-only” from the Image Format pop-up menu.
Choose “compressed” to create a smaller disk image. Choose “read-only” to create a disk image that’s quicker to create and open.
Click Save.
After Disk Utility creates the disk image, eject the original CD or DVD.
Select the disk image in the list at the left, and choose Images > Burn.
When the Burn Disc dialog appears, insert a blank CD or DVD, and then click Burn.

DVD burning - all files do not copy

I have been having a burning problem with the system burning DVDs.
When I burn a disc not all the files copy. Sometimes one whole folder of many does not get copied; sometimes just the materials within a specific folder does not get burned. No error message is given and the DVD verifies 100%. I have tried burning at different speeds and it does not have any effect. I use to have no problems and can not think of what the problem is... HELP!
Thanks!

Some files did burn that were over 32 characters, but some files that were shorter did not. Should I not have file names over 32 characters?

Burning AVI files to DVD

Can someone please recommend a freeware or open source program to burn AVI files to DVD?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Credit BGreg for:
There are a number of ways to turn an avi into a DVD viewable on a normal DVD player. You need to convert, or render, the avi file to a DVD image and then burn it onto the DVD. Here are a few ways to do that:
Using included Apple iLife apps, you can import an avi file into iMovie, passing it on to iDVD for making the DVD, which includes menu's.
Commercial programs Popcorn 2 and Toast 7 from Roxio are good for converting different file types to DVD, and give you more options than the included Apple iLife programs.
You can use programs like MPEG streamclip, truly the video Swiss army knife for video stream conversion, and DVD imager to burn the image. Both are available through http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx
When you burn your DVD, using quality DVD's will maximize the chances that your DVD player will play them (I tend to use TDK when available on sale). Unless you have a pretty new external DVD player, you should probably stick with DVD-R or DVD+R disks. DVD-RW probably won't work in older DVD players. I've used both -R and +R's successfully.

DVD BURNING AND FILE DOWNSIZING

Hi I want to burn a dvd on a 4.7gb disc. Yet the dvd file is to big. Is there a way to downsize the file so I can burn this file on to the disc?

Depending on what it is exactly you are trying to burn.
Roxio's Popcorn, and Toast-7 both have the ability to compress large files and compress them to fit on a standard 4.7gb DVD.
This is how you fit a 7 or 7.3gb file of a Commercial DVD Movie on a 4.7gb disc.
I would however suggest when you pose a question, give as much detailed information as you can.
This will allow all to give you a detailed answer to your problem.
Cheers Don

Burned dvd not showing name or files.

I have burned an archive dvd by copying files onto the blank dvd and selecting the "burn" button from the finder window. Everything burns correctly and once the dvd has finished being verified, I have my uniquely named dvd and files displayed.
However, once the dvd is ejected, and then re-inserted, the dvd no longer has the name I have given it, and shows no files in the window.
How do I correct this? Are all the archive dvds I've burned no good?
Robb

The above burned dvds mount correctly on other drives and files can be copied from them.
How do I get my drive to recognize these dvds as having been burned and contain data?
