Burning ITunes Movie in IDVD

Is it possible to burn a movie downloaded in the ITunes store using IDVD?

Hi K
Only way I would try and ONLY with material that's not under Copyprotection law.
I would connect my Mac S-video out or via iPod to a VHS VCR recorder. From
this to an analog/digitalconverter or Camera with video trough or tape on a
miniDV tape.
Then import into iMovie.
Copy protection signal will probably stop this but if not You have to follow law
anyhow.

I cannot burn my movie onto IDVD.

I cannot burn my movie onto IDVD. Says multiplexing error. Tried rerendering it as suggested on error code. Apple wants to charge me $29 to look into it and says the money is non refundable. Suggested I come here. Can anyone help me? Please...

I went to the TROUBLESHOOTING desk yesterday at our APPLE store. I got 15 minutes free. They told me that IDVD is no longer supported by APPLE and my Mac Mini is 5 years old, therefore, I'm out of luck. They told me to download new software and I thought the technician said the software is called IM DVD, but of course, I get home and I can't find it. Now what?

Making itunes movie into idvd to burn. won't encode.

When trying to encode my idvd, the bar doesn't fill in as if it were loading. it looks like it is a gray shade. How do i fix this?

Sorry, but what do you mean by an "iTunes movie". Do you mean a movie you purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, those are copy-protected, and the movie studios will not allow them to be burned to video DVD.
If that's not what you mean, please post back and clarify the source of the content you're trying to burn in iDVD.
Regards.

HOW TO BURN ITUNE MOVIES TO DVD

i bought itune movies for my kids, i tried to burn them on dvd but they would not play in the car when we go for a road trip. Can anyone help me?

You cannot do this. You can make a backup copy to data dvd, but you CANNOT burn to a dsik that you can watch in a DVD player.
From the itunes store terms of service.

Burning a movie from idvd

i made a movie on idvd and im trying to burn it...... when i put a blank dvd in it spits it back out and says insert a readable dvd..... i am using dvd-rw....... please help! i need to burn this dvd for an event today

#1 Rule ..... Don't stress.
Let me make a suggestion. Burn a disc image to the desktop if all else fails here. This essentially eliminates the need to burn to Dvd completely and uses the mac's internal hard drive as a virtual Dvd for playback purposes (keep in mind that both a disc image and a finished idvd respond to apple's dvd player in an identical fashion). You can always use your mac and apple's dvd player to present the disc image to most set tops or TV's with the proper cables ..... Might this work for you?
Other than this, the only other suggestion is to secure the correct / recommended media from the very start.

I have been trying to burn a movie in iDVD and it has been VERY slow. Never had problems in the past. HELP!

Hi there, I have been trying to burn a movie I created in iDVD. When in the "creating your DVD" it is VERY slow saying it will take over 6 hours to burn the movie. I have never had this problem before. It also won't let me minimize the screen, I just get the beeping noise that something is wrong, but no pop up window telling me what to do. Does that make sense? Also the black & orange burn wheel is spinning VERY slowly and will often just stop. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Hi
When iDVD goes slow to ridiculously slow - it usually depends on - low free space on Start-up hard disk
• I set for a minimum of 25Gb free space
• 10Gb might work but slow
• 5Gb - slow and un-stable - DVD usually doesn't play
• <1Gb - iDVD might not even start and even so Mac OS runs into problems.
Else
Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named.
*com.apple.iDVD.plist*
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple’s Disk Utilities application)
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK will work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’09 v. 7.0.4, Mac OS X.5.8 AND QuickTime 7.6.4 - is OK (does work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
or
Macintosh HD/Users/Your log-in//Library/Application Support/iDVD/Installed Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
No of Colors - must be set to millions
EdinSF writes that, The 10.6.3 update with an Open GL fix seems to have taken care of the problem.

How do i burn iTunes movies to dvd

Hi,
I purchased several t.v. programs from itunes , would like to make more room on mac desktop, so want to burn programs to dvd's. How do I do that? Thanks, Pamela

You're better off putting the entire iTunes library on an external hard or flash drive. If you want to use DVDs anyway, burn the movie files to a data DVD in the Finder and drag them back when needed.
Content burned to DVD in this way isn't playable outside of a computer, and for DRM protected content, outside of iTunes.

Problem to burn a movie in iDVD

After I have edited a movie in iMovie, I would burn it to a disc. As I have made, you can only burn an edited movie into iDVD.
But it is not. When you press the "burn" button it should be a progress box where it should be how long it takes to burn the disc. But there is no box, but it says I must insert the disk in the mac, though I have already done so.
What should I do? Could it be something with the movie format, which is originally from a video camera (avi.)
I've actually been able to burn music, pictures and movies directly in the Finder, but those burn as files without having been edited.
Help me, dear Mac users!

Hi
But there is no box, but it says I must insert the disk in the mac, though I have already done so.
YES - this is What NOT to do !
If You insert a DVD before asked for it - Mac will ask You if it should format it.
You can select to ignore this and it should work BUT IF You accept to format Your
Mac will do a Data-DVD and not a Video-DVD.
If You've not been asked to format - then Your Mac can't identify the inserted DVD
(still not asked for by iDVD)
• Use a Cleaning DVD - for Your SuperDrive (DVD-burner)
• Please state Brand and type of DVDs used ? eg. Verbatim DVD-R (what I use)

Burning long movie from IDVD

Hi I hope i'm in the right place. I have a G5 - new in Sept. It has a Superdrive and I am wondering if I can burn my movie (over 5 Gig and just over 2 hours) to a memorex DVD+R DL disk I can't find a compatability list anywhere.
Thanks
Leslie
iMac G5 2G Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Hi Leslie:
According to this Apple Article DVD+R DL disks are compatible-just doesn't mention Memorex by name.

Burning Itunes movie to a black DVD

Anyone know how to do this? I can only figure out how to make a data DVD for back up.

You can only back up your iTunes moves to DVD. You can't use iTunes to make a DVD of the movies to play on regular players.

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.
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2729 - including file formats supported by iTunes and on mobile devices, DVDs, etc.

I just burned a movie in iDVD and in playback there is a flashing/strobing green across the entire screen. This pulsating color field is there the entire length of the recording. Any ideas what I did wrong?

I have idvd 7.0.4 and I loaded a movie from imovie to idvd then burned it to dvdr 4.7G and when I play back I get this pulsating green color over the movie image. Theis color is the same as a green-screen and there is quite a bit of green screen work in the film. Any ideas what is happening in the burn process?

Check the suggestions in this topic: Green line across screen when playing a burned dvd..?
The workflow I suggest you follow is:
1 - save the project as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option.
2 - mount the disk image on your Desktop and play it with DVD Player to assure youself that it plays correctly. This tells you the encoding was good.
3 - burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available, 2x or 4X, to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Burning a .mov without iDvd

I have a 30 gig .mov that I would like to burn to a DVD without using the iDvd interface (regular or DL) but I can't seem to compress it properly - any ideas?

DVD will only burn up to 1.5 hours, I'm not sure what your 30 gigs equals.
iDVD can handle up to 2 hours on a single sided disc or 4 with DL if you have compatible gear.
30 gigs could mean just over two hours of DV or just under 1 hour of AIC.
We could do with more info, that's for sure.

How to Burn iTunes Movie?

HI- I purchased a movie from the iTunes store and want to know how to burn to DVD to watch on my TV? Thanks

Sorry, but you can't.
Due to DRM purchased movies can't be burned to a DVD-Video that will work on a standalone player.

Burn long movie with IDVD

On IDVD I am trying to Burn a long movie. I get a message saying duration too long for disc. How do I burn this to two disc or Reduce the intro of IDVD. The movie is almost 4 hours long. I can put it on one disc that plays on my computer,but I want one to play in my DVD player

A single-layer DVD has a limit of 2 hours, a dual-layer DVD 4 hours.
Roxio Toast can burn your 4 hours to a single-layer DVD using its 'burn to fit' setting but you will see a quality loss.
Toast can also stretch a video over two DVDs.
