Burning iPod Videos to DVD for DVD Player

Just wondering if and or how it is possible to take an iPod video downloaded from iTunes and burn it as a video CD or DVD to play on my DVD player?
Thanks.

The only way that i know of would require a video card with some sort of video out a video/audio capturing card and video editing software such as roxio videowave or equivelant, just hook up your video card and your audio out to your capture card and play the video fullscreen once the video is done create a dvd in you video editing software...however it is pointless to do this because the resolution of the video is to crappy to watch even on a 20" or higher television. in other words it will look like ****, even if you do capture it and write it to a dvd. all i can suggest is if you want something you can play on your home tv then buy the dvd itself, or you always rent the dvd and use dvd shrink to remove the css protection and then make a copy, but that's up to you.

  • Burning ipod videos to play on dvd player

    does anybody know a way or a free program i can download to burn the videos on my ipod to a dvd so i can watch it on a dvd player?

    Are you referring to purchased videos from the iTunes music store? If so, they cannot be burned to a DVD that will play in a DVD player.
    They can be burned to a data DVD which will play on computers however.

  • FCPX DVD export to Compressor: error burning disc; video file incompatible for DVD creation

    I've been working on a project for months now (feature film) in Final Cut Pro X. Therefor I have done about 20 exports already from within FCPX to Compressor for DVD. Did the same process last night as always.
    From within project timeline I go to SHARE -> DVD -> setup a basic menu then select USING COMPRESSOR
    Compressor opens. I click submit and after the progress indicator fills up way too fast, I get this error:
    "there was an error burning your disc the video file is incompatible for DVD creation"
    DVD spits out and that's it. Compressor and FCPX are both still running and haven't crashed but I'm confused. I have burned since the recent 10.0.3 upgrades (and whichever upgrade just came out for Compressor as well) so I can't imagine it's the upgrade.
    Any ideas?
    I tried making a duplicate of the project and renaming and exporting and had the same results.
    At this moment I am trying to export to DVD directly from FCPX with default settings and it has bee "processing" with no movemtn on the progress bar for an hour (it's a 2 hour video so this may not be abnormal).

  • Burning ipod videos to dvds for viewing?

    Is there any way to burn ipod videos onto a dvd for watching on a tv? I know there's some way to do it, but I don't know what it is. Anyone know of a program with a free trial i can find somewhere?

    Videos purchased from the Itunes Store cannot be burned to DVD as they are DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected and thus locked. As with any DRM file, each has an embedded code within the file that only Apple knows. DRM locks you into where, what and how you enjoy the entertainment you paid for. You own it, but are restricted to how you use it. Hope that helps.

  • Different DVD to iPod Video Converter Software for Mac?

    Does anybody know about different DVD to iPod Video Converter Software
    for Mac besides QuikTime Pro?
    Thanks,

    Handbrake is the way to go.
    Quicktime Pro does not have the ability to rip and convert DVDs.

  • I have question regarding comment below - unable to burn a video file onto a DVD

    Everytime I try to burn a video onto a blank DVD i get the following message - I would appreciate any help to resolve the problem.
    The disc can’t be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.

    this could mean:
    laser dirty - some people recommend 'cleaning disks', some say this would kill a drive finally
    or,
    your kind of disk brand isn't 'first choice' for your kind of drive.
    best track record on Apple drives: Verbatim or Taijo Yuden (hard to get outside Japan)
    or,
    you did try to use DVD-Rom disks, instead of dvd-r/dvd+r

  • Burn a DVD for TV player

    I need to do something that seems pretty simple, but is really giving me a headache. I want to take my FCP project that is all edited and ready to roll and burn it to a DVD so that it plays in a regular DVD player hooked up to a TV.
    I have exported the Sequence as 640x480 Quicktime and as 720x480 Quicktime. Both get stretched when I burn the video through Roxio's Toast.
    How else should I burn it?
    I have iDVD, but don't want all the menu crap you are forced to use. Just a simple video on DVD that plays without menus.
    Any help would be appreciated

    In FCP, go to File-Export->QuickTime Movie (NOT 'Using QuickTime Conversion'). When the export window opens, place a check mark next to 'Make Self-Contained' ... do NOT 'Recompress All Frames.' Keep the settings at 'Current Settings.' If you've added chapter markers in FCP, choose to include DVD-SP chapter markers, then export. This will make a file with the same settings as your FCP Timeline so it will be a rather large file.
    Once the export is done, you have several options:
    1. Import the new file into iDVD.
    2. Import the new file into DVD-SP.
    3. Import the new file into Compressor.
    4. Import the file into some other compression/authoring/burning program.
    NOTE: While Toast is a great burning utility, it lack a lot when it comes to encoding. Instead use DVD-SP or Compressor/DVD-SP for encoding and authoring. After that you can still use Toast for burning only if you want.

  • Burning music videos to CD or DVD

    I downloaded some musich videos and planned to burn them to a CD or DVD so I can play them without hooking my computer up to my stereo system. Out of six I tried to burn I got an message saying I could not burn five of them. Don't remember exactly what the message said but got the idea it had to do with something encoded into the download.
    Is there any way to get around this?
    I read about not being able to burn movies but these are music videos not movies, or is the restriction the same?
    Thanks

    Thanks...now I've got to figure out how to play them on a video projector and external sound system. I was trying to simplyfy the setup by eliminating the need for a computer.
    As a follow up, can the plain vanilla iPod player be used to store and play music videos? Or is a higher end one needed?

  • Burn a video to a playable DVD

    I have queried many of the folks at the Apple stores for advice in burning a video to a DVD that is playable on a DVD player for TV viewing. I don't have Apple TV and an HDMI to HDMI connector won't solve my problem if I make a video and send it to my Grandma. I just want a simple video authoring program that works. I've heard that iLife '09 and iLife '11 has iDVD,  but they have been abandoned by Apple and it is not currently the "state of art". Many of the available apps are either free or not free, but the complaints have been mostly universally negative. Is there a reliable program...as iMovie is incapable of doing what I want it to do. And, I'm unsure if Final Cut Pro X is worth the costly investment for what I want out of it. Folks have mentioned, "lemon wire", "Nero", "Burn" and the Apple store folks seem reluctant to suggest third party software names.

    There is no adequate substitute for iDVD.
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    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.

  • Toast dvd under yosemite 10.10.2 fails to create a dvd for home player

    I downloaded from iTunes Apps the application called Toast DVD two days back at a cost of $22.95 or so.
    Immediately after installation, I burned a dvd from one of home videos. I set the options to NTSC as I am in Canada,
    The DVD created does not work on my home dvd player; it also failed to play on my macbook.
    My macbook pro 13 has Yosemite 10.10.2 installed.
    I contacted the support staff at Corel for Toast DVD,  The product shows a version 2.1.10800.
    They have not responded completely to resolve the issue.
    I'd appreciate any help.

    It's always a good idea to buy good quality DVDs because lower quality discs often will have imperfections that increase playback errors. That said, it doesn't sound like the discs are the primary problem. Are you importing the movies or dragging into the menu button area (not drop zones)? What's the total length in time of your slideshows/movies? (under 60 min gets you max quality). It will take a long time to encode video depending on the speed of your processor.
    Here are some general tips to increase the odds of successful burns:
    Lots of memory helps; and you'll need 10-15 gigs of free space on your main hard drive for scratch space.
    Buy good quality disks - I've seen recommendations for Maxell, Sony, Verbatim, TDK and a few others based on testing. I primarily use the first two and usually don't have trouble.
    Give yourself lots of time.
    Turn off your screen savers and energy savers; don't let your hard drive go to sleep.
    Get your computer healthy and ready for some heavy lifting. (video work could be the hardest job your computer can do) I use MacJanitor (from VersionTracker.com) followed by Apple's DiskUtility's Repair Permissions.
    Most of the time iDVD is working, it is encoding (compressing) your video to fit on the DVD. Create an image .img file (Save to Disc Image) and use Toast or Disk Utility to burn it to disk. Burn slower than the highest rated speed of your burner (eg. 1 or 2x on a 4x burner).
    I keep my projects under 60 minutes (for highest resolution).
    I import into iDVD rather than export from iMovie or iPhoto (fewer errors).
    No other apps open.
    Let it encode and burn while you go to bed; it can take awhile, esp. on older Macs.
    If you use iDVD for burning the DVD (and don't make a disk image), don't quit iDVD even when the DVD is burned, until you've played the DVD in a regular player (it's much easier to burn another disk and check to see if the problem was a bad disk, than to go back through all that encoding again by quitting iDVD).

  • Burn HD Video to a Normal DVD

    Hi All,
    I Wish to know that how to burn the HD Video to a normal DVD to playback the video on a normal dvd player? Thanks.

    As Shane Says...
    Compressor should automatically determine the aspect ratio...
    If you go in and change the mpeg quality settings to be higher, you'll probably have issues on DVD playback (your DVD play will choke)
    When you go to make your DVD, set the aspect ratio to 16:9. here is a tutorial on how to do that: http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/16-9_dvdsp_setup_stone.html

  • Sending my ipod video 1st gen for service?

    need some advice from anyone who has similar experience.
    here's the scenario:
    my ipod video 30gb 1st gen got contacted with water and now it is unable to switch on.. it'll flicker a white screen once or twice after sometime of inactivity..
    i'm already out of warranty.. should I send it for servicing? or is it better to get a new ipod? i am from singapore and a new 30gb video 2nd gen will cost 400+..
    please do advise me
    thanks to all

    Apple will not fix the iPod if it has been water damaged, it would cost too much money, cheaper to get a new iPod.
    You may be able to sort this yourself though. How long have you let the iPod dry out? It can take a while to get rid of dampness.
    If you can open the iPod (loads of sites show you how to do it). and leave the iPod in a warm area for a few days, then put the back on and try it again.
    Also do you have house insurance, you may have accidental cover that would pay for a new iPod.

  • Burning DVD for DVD Player and Computer

    Hi everybody.
    I thought that I saw this somewhere here, but after looking for it for the past 1 1/2 hours (Unsuccessfully I might add , I thought that I would just ask.
    When I burn a project to a DVD using Quicktime and iDVD, I can view it on a DVD player and on my Apple computers, but not on a windows based machine. Can I burn a DVD that will play on any computer? How?
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    Brian

    Could well be a +R issue. The player must be able to read +R.
    -R is the most universal and should play on just about any DVD machine.
    I noticed that the older the machine the more things things can go wrong for no apparent reason. Later model stuff play just about anything even +R, dual layer, RAM etc. Always check the player specs if you have them.

  • Idvd project with video and slideshow for dvd-rom file access

    working on an idvd project with both a video section and photos in a few photo galleries. its' a slightly more complex project, but still only 2gb on a 4gb disc. After we burn (with all dvd-rom contents checked, and advance>edit dvd-rom contents shows photo files all there) the finished disc doesn't have files available in the dvd-romcontents! its' driving us mad as simpler projects are burning properly, with both photo and video files available. Could there be some kind of conflict occurring? does anyone have any ideas?!

    Steve,
    It sounds like Windows Movie Maker Live was used. The regular WMM will Export to DV-AVI Type I, which will Import into PrPro much better.
    I would recommend converting the WMA/WMV to DV-AVI, and Importing that into a DV NTSC (if you are in NTSC-land) Project.
    Then, you would use Encore to do the DVD authoring. There are several ways to get the material on your Sequence into Encore. ADL (Adobe Dynamic Link) is probably the easiest way to do this.
    What is your exact workflow from PrPro, into Encore?
    What brand of blank media are you burning the DVD to?
    This ARTICLE will give you some tips.
    Good luck, and let us know a bit more,
    Hunt
    PS - Multiplexing is the function of combining the Audio and the Video into one file. There are usually two choices, "None" and then often "DVD." For None, you will get two separate files - one for the Audio and one for the Video. With "DVD" you should get a muxed (combined) file. Actually, the separate Audio and Video is the preferred way, if one is doing an Export from PrPro, and then an Import to Encore. One would Import the Video into Encore as a Timeline, and the Audio as an Asset. In Encore, just drag the Audio file from the Project Panel to the appropriate Timeline, where it will snap into place.

  • Burning ITunes video (LOST) onto a DVD

    Hello all,
    Can someone please tell me how I can burn Lost onto a DVD so I can watch it on my home DVD player?

    Chip,
    I am having the same problem. I tried burning it as a data DVD and playing it in an MPEG4 compatable DVD player. That did not work. I think apple only allows you to play it on authorized computers or iPODs, if so thats crap.
    Let me know if you find a solution.
