Burning iDVD images on a Windows DVD burner?

Hi All,
My dad has a 12" iBook G4 (combo-drive only, no super-drive), and he want's to burn a DVD out of iDVD. He has a DVD Burner in his PC, so can he export the image (ISO, or whichever format it is) transfer it to his PC, and then burn the DVD there?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Reza,
Welcome to the Discussions.
You need to "Save as Disk Image" of your DVD project, transfer over to the Window PC, change the file extension from .img to .iso, then burn, see another thread: http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=205201

  • IDVD - problem with playability of DVDs burned

    Hello -
    I'm experiencing trouble when I export a Quicktime file from my Final Cut Pro 5 to burn to a DVD using iDVD5 on my home computer. All worked fine up until about a month ago. I'm unclear what I could have changed in terms of settings at that time that's caused the problem, but here is the situation I'm now experiencing:
    When I burn a DVD using my iDVD5, the DVD will play in a computer, but it is not readable on a normal DVD player. It's unrecognized as a playable DVD.
    If I take the exact same Quicktime file and the exact same blank DVD (I'm currently using blanks that are TDK DVD-R) over to a friend's house and burn the DVD using his iDVD, the DVD is playable in a DVD player and works just fine.
    So something in my iDVD settings seems to have gotten very badly messed up. What can I do to fix this?
    Many thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

    It looks like it would cost as much to buy a new external DVD burner as it would to have the internal one for my computer fixed,...?!
    True!
    EDIT: You have a G5 iMac ...correct? If I'm not mistaken, it too has a smaller slot loading S-Drive.
    Yours might looks somewhat like this:
    If so, then it too could experience the above symptoms of overheating after multiple consecutive burns/ back to back DVD's.
    The best Ext. S-Drives with their own built-in fan and power supply for back to back reliable burns look like this:

  • Burning iDVD Projects on a Windows Box

    Is it possible to burn an iDVD project to a DVD-R (Sony DRU-510a) that is internal to my Windows XP machine?
    I was in the Apple store the other day and noticed you can "burn" a project to disk, and wondered whether I could simply move the resulting file (I believe it was an .img file) to my Windows machine and then burn it to the DVD-R.
    Many Thanks.

  • Burn .iso image from CD or DVD

    Hi,
    How do I create an .iso file from a CD or DVD in Mac OS X?
    Thanks for your help.

    Or use Toast from Roxio.

  • DVDs burned in iDvd work in other devices, but not on my Mac!

    Strange. I switched to iDvd 6. Now I am having troubles I never had before (and it isn't due to bad disks -- I use the same ones burned successfully with iDvd 5).
    Burning to disk produces a "NDIF disk image" -- not what I would have expected. The burned disks work in my DVD player for the TV, and even work in a PC! But they aren't able to be read by my Mac! I get a "this disk is in a format your Mac doesn't recognize" type of error. Or if the disk goes in, it doesn't show up on the desktop.
    I have tried just about everything. Burning directly to disk produces the same effect.
    As a note, the Disk Utility recognizes there is a disk there!
    Any suggestions? I'd really like burn DVDs that are readable on my Mac again (as well as everything else).

    Does anyone have an answer to this individual's problem?
    I have been successfully using iDVD burning disk images and direct to DVD disc with not a single issue.
    To conserve my main hard drive space I kept my iDVD templates on one of my other hard drives. Recently I was spring cleaning and inadvertently relocated the iDVD template library. Upon recently launching I realised this and reinstalled the templates.
    So when I go to work I have every detail set up as usual and instruct iDVD to burn a disk image of the file so it's ready to burn to disk upon my return home from work. I have no idea why iDVD is now burning NDIF images. I have used Disk Utility to burn the image to a DVD and all seems to work fine, despite the seemingly slow verification process. After which "Your Disk has been burned Successfully."
    Question:
    Why is it that my Intel Mini is capable of recognizing and playing my newly burned DVD from this strange and suddenly appearing NDIF image, while my PowerMac G4 Dual 867 which I have used to burn and play burned disks for a few years now, not recognize or play a burned DVD disk?

  • Burning a windows DVD from iPhoto 09

    Dose a Windows DVD burned from iPhoto have the information on board to allow printing of the photos, I seem to recollect one had the choice of including this info prior to the burn, but cannot remember from where.

    Thanks for the simple instructions. You made my day.

    Yes you can run programs from a differnt drive. All you have to do is download that prgram to that drve same as you would to the c:drive by defualt we will have to reload everything as if you never had itunes.
    1 make a folder on your drive called itunes.
    2 go to the website and get the itune ( click on the download link and when it ask to run or save click save and tell it where to save.
    3. After save is complete click on the install app. it will default to install to you c drive. Change this to your desired drive and folder. (this will install it on that drive and folder.) then you will have to make a shortcut to open Itunes.
    4 If you more than one pc configure in the same order and # of drive you will be able to run this drve from any pc.
    I do this with alot of programs at work from a 4gb penn drive to get around the firewall and admin rites. (I.T. department)

  • External DVD burner/iDVD and iMovie

    Would iDVD work with this external dvd burner?

    That would depend on the brand of dvd drive they are using inside there enclosure.
    In my experience Pioneer drives always work well.
    One would ask why you want to get a small external drive. full size tray loading drives are faster more robust and are much more efficient.
    It doesn't have to be a small drive. I picked that particular drive because it was the only drive I could find with Apple listed under supported OS.
    I put together my own external drive. I used a pioneer 112D 18x DVD-RW cost £16. I got an icybox dvd enclosure for £20. This enclosure has usb2 and firewire.
    It is recognised in the apple system profiler as 'apple shipped'. And works with idvd and itunes and diskburning.
    It looks like that copy is only in the UK. Perhaps there is a US version?
    Or maybe I just need to find one that is USB supported and it will work on my Macbook? I have a feeling some will work. I just wont be able to use the software for them.

  • DVD Burner problems A505 with Windows 7 Home Premium

    No matter the burn software (windows DVD Burner or Corel) I get errors on 9 of every 10 blank DVDs. This can't be correct. Anyone offer some hints? Thanks!!

    I just want to say that many Nokia Ovi Suite problems have showed up for me recently. I tried everything (including many reinstalls, cleans, etc.) and nothing helped.
    Finally I found the solution:
    I realized that I have installed Service Pack 1 on Windows 7 (32-bit), and this stopped Ovi Suite from working correctly. The solution is to run Ovi Suite in compatibility mode as "Windows 7"
    (You may be surprised to run an application in "Windows 7" compatibility mode on Windows 7. But after installing Service Pack, it is no longer "Windows 7" but it is now "Windows 7 SP1"! This is different. So "Windows 7" is the old mode without the service pack, and in this old mode Ovi Suite works.)
    Concluding: After installing Service Pack 1 just use compatibility mode as "Windows 7" to run Ovi Suite, and this program should work OK (at least for me it works on a 32-bit OS).
    PS. My version of Ovi Suite is 3.0.0.290

  • Internal and external DVD burner ?

    Hi all, have a general question, currently have a HP ProBook 6455b, obviously has an internal DVD burner.. I am looking to add an external DVD burner...is this possible to run an internal and external at the same time? would I need additional burning software? Burning is quite slow takes over an hr to burn one DVD, currently using Windows DVD burner because it is simple and effective.. or should I just use another program that is quicker? any ideas or suggestions on fast burning programs? thanks you guys are the best!

    You're very welcome.
    I have never burned a movie with mine but I have burned large 3+ GB ISO images using CD Burner XP, and it takes just a few minutes.
    Now, if you mean can you insert a disk in one drive, and copy that disk via the other drive using the same program set to copy or grab disk, that should be possible.
    It should show one drive as the one to copy from and one to copy to, just like if you had two DVD drives in a desktop PC.
    If you are asking can you simultaneously burn two different files on two different burners using the same program at the same time, that I have no clue. I guess you would have to try it and find out.  You would open the program and burn one file to a disk and open the program again and burn another file to the other DVD burner. If the program won't let you open two instances of it at the same time, then you probably could open a different DVD burning program such as the one I posted above and use that to burn the other files with.

  • Dvd burned from iPhoto not open

    I burned the images of iPhoto on dvd.
    When I try to open the dvd a message says: "the library of iPhoto is in a protected volume: Restart iPhoto with access reading/writing or restart with option key".
    Nothin happens. Why???

    You're accessing it wrong. You don't try open that Library, instead you open iPhoto normally and the disk appears in the iPhoto Window.
    Or
    Copy the library from the DVD to your HD. Then open it.

  • What DVD burner is recommended for burning an iMovie?

    I would like a recommendation for a DVD burner app that will burn quality movies.  What does everyone use?  I downloaded a couple of free ones from the App Store, but I was not satisfied with the quality of the movie that I created in iMovie.
    Thanks!

    babowaNov 4, 2014 7:32 PM Re: What DVD burner is recommended for burning an iMovie?
    Re: What DVD burner is recommended for burning an iMovie?in response to mikmarjas
    I use Roxio Toast as well as iDVD. The quality is also dependent on a) the camera/quality used, b) the process used in iMovie (which version?), and c) which method (quality settings) is used to export it from iMovie. Every process/step (including the encoding for burning) will compress the video and may result in a slight loss of quality.
    babowa, how do I go about knowing the correct steps that you mentioned to produce a good quality video?  My videos look good on my computer, but on the tv the quality is greatly diminished.
    Thank you for your response and help!

  • DVD Burner keeps encoding and won't burn my file.

    Trying to burn a home made video onto a DVD and when I attempt to do it, it won't go any farther than encoding the video.  I have left it on for 2+ hours letting it encode and it won't get any higher than 60%.  I'm using Windows Movie Maker software and Windows DVD burning software.  There is no way it should be taking this long.  I am using a Toshiba Satellite L355-S7902.  Do I just need to change my DVD burning software or what?  Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.  

    I don't think so. I bought new disks yesterday to be sure and the result is the same. Also, when in the drives, none of the disks (old or new) make any kind of not-normal noise. Everything seems normal, except neither computer can burn. Weird!

  • Mixing Ken Burns effected images w/ stills

    I'm creating a slideshow that mixes images with the Ken Burns effect on, and images with the effect turned off. I've noticed that when I place a non-Ken Burns'd image immediately after a Ken Burns'd image, the playback isn't accurate. The still image appears black or doesn't accuratly play back what's represented on the timeline.
    I've dug through a lot of threads here but haven't found my answer. And help or just links to other threads would be great!

    The workaround for this, for people running Snow Leopard, is to insert a smallest possible Cross Dissolve transition between the Ken Burns clip and the still. Actually, probably any transition will work.
    The problem seems to be related to Quicktime 7.6.6, and manifests with stills, not movie clips. However, Snow Leopard folks, unlike those running Leopard, have not successfully been able to revert to an earlier version of Quicktime--at least as far as I know. You will notice that the problem does not manifest between Ken Burns photos or video clips, but only when non-Ken Burns stills are involved. Ken Burns stills are really movie clips. Inserting a transition will also turn a still into a movie clip. Thus evolves the workaround.
    Hope this works for you.
