Burning mixed 5.1 songs to DVD-A as individual tracks?

Hi All,
A noob around these parts and to Logic Pro 9 so please be gentle
After a fair bit of looking online I can't find the answer to my particular problem, which is...
I have recorded & mixed a jazz band in 5.1 on Logic Pro 9.
I have bounced the whole session as a 5.1 DVD-A disc with no problems but I want to be able to have each song as an individual track, not one long track with no breaks.
Is this possible to do in Logic 9 Pro or do I need another 3rd party bit of software?
Any help much appreciated,
Jon

Hi, noisyjon.
Can you select each track as a separate region and use save as to write them as in dividual tracks. Another way is to use the locators ans select how much of the full track [the entire dvd] you want to bounce and save that file.
ie. say track 1 is from bar 0 to bar 71. select that in your bounce menu and logic will only bounce that portion of the project. You can also name it whatever you want in the bounce drop box. Repeat for each track.
Hoe this helps,
Regards,
Scorpii.

Version 8 takes longer to burn CD's on songs I purchased

Hi,
I have noticed that ever since I upgraded to version 8, it takes longer to burn CD's of songs I purchased. Has anyone else noticed this? It takes about anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes

One of the other problems is that I put in a blank c.d. and after a while it spits it out. (forgot to mention) I end up putting songs on my "flash" drive from iTunes and transfered them to my "old" iMac where I was able to burn.
One of two things:
1. Bad CD - (if it does it outside of iTunes as well) older optical drives may read them when newer ones won't.
2. Bad drive or software - Heat will kill optical drives, and it's just possible that the iTunes update has affected it.
I use an external DVD-R/RW/DVDRAM drive so I haven't had any problems with 11.1.1 yet.

I am trying to burn a cd from songs on my ipod. however for certain playlist there is no burn cd option

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

Sharing a purchased song or dvd ofrom iTunes's store

Once I have purchased a song or dvd, or audio book is there any way I can make the other computes with access to my account have what I purchased instantly? Now I would like to know if this can be done without turning on the share feature on iTunes, and with out having to burn a copy and manually install it to the other computers.
Thanks

f I downloaded a song lets say here in FL on my PC, and I went to NY with my laptop that has Authorized audible account with my iTunes is there a way I can still get that song into my iTunes on my laptop without physically burning or moving the file from one to the other?
As Chris said, no. If you want the song on your laptop, you have to copy it there, or purchase it a second time and download it again using that laptop.
BTW, an Audible account is for audio books.
if iTunes doesn't sell DVDs what the ** did I just purchase from them???
You purchased a movie via a download service. A DVD is a physical disk and delivery format, one way movies are distributed but not the only way. Some people have purchased movies from the iTunes Store expecting a physical disk to arrive in the mail, something that will not happen.

How best to burn avi movie file to a DVD?

I am the owner of a new 20" iMac and would like to burn an avi movie file to a DVD. I am informed by an Apple tech rep that the avi file has to be converted to a DV or MPEG-4 file before the iDVD program can burn it to a DVD. To make the conversion a Roxio program called Popcorn has been suggested, but the cost is $50.
I will appreciate any advice as to alternative lower cost programs that will accomplish the conversion.
I am also open to any other approaches that will enable me to burn the avi file to a DVD. (Before switching from a Windows computer to the iMac I used to burn avi movie files to DVDs with no sweat via NeroVision Express which was part of the Nero 6 software package that was supplied with an external DVD burner).

I’m not conversant with the technical aspects of the information on the other two websites to which you refer. I really can’t tell whether these programs would meet the demands of this particular situation. I do not want to download programs, even if they are freeware, if I don’t know what I am getting. This movie stuff is certainly a much more complex issue to deal with than mp3 song files!
I am too new to the world of Mac to know whether QuickTime Pro would be of advantage. I’ll have to look into it.
I think QT Pro is like another editing app in and of itself and much more. It is very much worth every cent that apple is asking for this software. In fact, in some situations it's actually vital in the creation of several projects.
I'm guessing you too will find this out on your own when it comes to combining two QT movies together as one project or triming and existing QT movie rather than reworking both separate projects from scratch.
Bottom line is that it's significant time saver. And for me time = $$$. (Hence this QT software is worth every cent of $29).
Btw... and nobody pays me to say this about apple software. I'm just stating what works best for me.
Speaking of which .... I also happen to be my own beta tester.
I think you're going to have to get used to the idea of testing your own software / plugins that will work best for you and in your own situation. You might want to consider investing in an ext. HD if you don't already own one.
The way I approach this is to clone my exisiting HD using CCC and then running the latest apple update /software on the cloned HD rather than attempting to alter my existing HD (which to me is essentially my bread and butter).
Hope this helps.

How to burn my pic's to a DVD-R?

Hi, Once again I want to thank all of you for your great help. Like I said I am a rookie at this stuff. My question is now that I have alot of pic's in my collection's from my organizer what is the easiest way to burn those pic's on my dvd-r? I have Roxio Easy Media Creator software 7.5
Or can I burn it using just my Photoshop Elemants 4.0?
Thanks again

Hey Raftman:
The way it finally sunk in for me was to first determine what the final product might be, and who would be using it.
In one case it might be a DVD with pics for a brother (who has a DVD player only in his computer) and a DVD movie/slideshow for sister (who has a standalone DVD entertainment player) and printed pictures for Mom an Dad (who refuse to use anything new).
But to really answer your question concerning DVD's. There are really only two ways using DVD recording software (Roxio/MyDVD/...etc).
1. You simply copy the images to a DVD as data or files. These DVD's are no different than storing the images on a hard drive except that they are portable and you can give them to someone who has a DVD player and image viewing software with their computer. However, this "Data" DVD is not a DVD that you could play in most standalone entertainment system DVD players (the one hooked to your TV)
2. You can also make a DVD that would contain your images as a slideshow or still movie. This format is the one that can be played in a standalone DVD player. Rather than view them using a computer and computer monitor as in #1 above, you view them on your TV. To do this again you need the proper software to create a DVD movie. That software essentially converts the images (JPEG, TIFF...etc)into the MPEG2 format which is the DVD movie standard. Normally you just drag and drop the images into the program...adding music is sometimes an option. I can't go into depth, because it depends on the software which you'll have to read and understand.
What are the primary advantages/disadvantages of each method?
Well, besides needing a computer and monitor for #1, everyone has to gather around the computer. But, a computer monitor will always be the best quality. Looking at the images would be no difference than looking at them on your computer. Just double click or load the image software and browse away.
Using a DVD and TV is easy for a group, but the televisions resolution or quality is no where as good as a computer monitor. Here you would simply load the DVD as a rented movie and the images would play or you would select them with your remote. There is the problem that all recorded movie DVD's are not 100% compatible with all entertainment system DVD players. "R-" DVD's are the most compatible. Many older DVD players simply will not play a recorded DVD.

CS6 Error Message When Burning a Blu Ray Project to DVD

Hi,
I'm trying to burn a Blu Ray project to DVD and I'm getting this message when I try to build the project:
The project is an excerpt from a larger one and contains only 2 video files and no menus. However it's particularly worrying because the project from which this is an excerpt is large and complex. I have created it as a Blu Ray project but my final deliverable is DVD. I really don't want to have to rebuild as a DVD project because it took half a day to link up all of the menus and chapters.
Is there something I need to do in my encode settings?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply John.
It's extremely frustrating that this is the case. I'd have started with a DVD project in the first place had I not read this: http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/using/building-finished-project.html , specifically the following excerpt:
"You can build the same project to DVD and Blu‑ray formats no matter which format you select in the New Project or Project Settings dialog box. Encore makes the appropriate adjustments to transcode the elements to the correct format."
Reading that gave me the confidence to go ahead and build as a Blu Ray. I now have to find another half day to rebuild the project as a DVD.
Thanks again for the information.

When I try to burn my slideshow.mov to a dvd disc, it will burn but when i put it in the dvd player it says 'disc error'. I have burned it thru iDVD before but forgot how to do it and it won't do it now. The slide show is on my desktop

Rather than burn directly to disk follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Trying to get my fcp project to burn to dvd at the highest quality? Ive used compressor and then tried to put it in dvdsp put its not working. I am having problems with the audio or when i burn it , i cant play the dvd? any help would be appreciated

I suspect you are attempting to burn an HD DVD, which will not play on a DVD player...
But if you provide more details such as the settings you are applying in Compressor, then we would be able to provide you more accurate information.
How are you adding the files to Compressor?
In FCP, what are your footage properties (command-9) and sequence settings (command-0)

There are many reasons this could be the case but whether an optical disc can be read or not is a function of:
The reflective media layer of the disc
Whether the burned disc was a DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW
The brand, model, and production lot of the disc
The specific frequency of the Write lasers that burned the disc
The specific frequency of the Read lasers that are attempting to read the disc
Are the Read lasers in the drive working (it is common for one set of lasers in a drive to fail while others continue to work)
How old are the Write and Read drives (laser frequencies change with age)
Is there dust on the read laser
Is there dust on the read lens
etc.
At one time it was estimated that fewer than 80% of all burned discs were readable in 90% of the drives. That has, I believe improved over time but at the same time it seems the faillure rate of lasers in the drives has increased but that may simply be the result of how many different read and write lasers there are in today's superdrives. Fortunately todays drives are a lot less expensive the replace -- now that Apple no longer installs optical drives in their computers.

How to burn read and write files on DVD

I would like to know how to burn DVDs (image files) with the Read and Write setting. I have changed the settings in Get Info for the image files to Read and Write for Owner, Group and Others and yet when I burn the DVD and try and copy the files back onto the hard drive (to test if it works or not) it won't allow me. When I check the Get Info it says Read and Write for owner (greyed out) and Read Only for Group and Others (greyed out too).
I have also tried to change the status of the blank DVD before adding files and after adding the files (but b4 the burn) to Read and Write, this works but then during the burn process the DVD or burner changes my settings to Read Only.
I am burning with Finder and have tried with Toast 10 Titanium. What am I doing wrong, or not doing at all?! I'm going loopy with frustration!

Kiraly, I agree that the actual problem here might be something else, but as a side issue there seems to be a difference in the way permissions are handled when a file copy is made using Finder compared to when the copy is made using the cp copy in Terminal. At least in my Tiger system, Finder preserved the permission structure, though not the ownership, when it copied a file, whereas cp used the OS defaults.
I tried the following experiment:
From my test user account "t", I created a textfile named ReadWrite.txt, and gave it Read+Write permissions for Owner, Group, and Others. I then burned it using Finder to a DVD which I named PermissionTest, and then unchecked the "Ignore Ownership" box on PermissionTest.
The original ownership and permissions were preserved on the DVD, though of course you couldn't actually write to anything there:
xxG5-Computer:~ t$ ls -l /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt
-rw-rw-rw- 1 t t 15 Sep 13 18:25 /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt
I then copied the file from the DVD to the Desktop using Finder, and the permissions were preserved!
Finder copy:
xxG5-Computer:~ t$ ls -l /Users/t/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
-rw-rw-rw- 1 t t 15 Sep 13 18:25 /Users/t/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
I then trashed the Finder copy of ReadWrite,txt on the desktop, and made a second copy from the DVD, but this time I used the cp command from Terminal instead of using Finder. This time the permissions were not preserved, but reverted to the OS default:
cp copy:
xxG5-Computer:~ t$ cp /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt Desktop
xxG5-Computer:~ t$ ls -l /Users/t/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 t t 15 Sep 13 19:43 /Users/t/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
I then switched to a different user account "t1", and repeated the above with the same DVD, first copying the ReadWrite.txt file to the desktop using Finder, and then using cp. The ownership of the copied file changed from t to t1 in both cases, but the permission structure again was preserved in the Finder copy but not in the cp copy:
DVD file:
xxG5-Computer:~ t1$ ls -l /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt
-rw-rw-rw- 1 t t 15 Sep 13 18:25 /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt
Finder copy:
xxG5-Computer:~ t1$ ls -l /Users/t1/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
-rw-rw-rw- 1 t1 t1 15 Sep 13 18:25 /Users/t1/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
cp copy:
xxG5-Computer:~ t1$ cp /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt Desktop
xxG5-Computer:~ t1$ ls -l /Users/t1/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 t1 t1 15 Sep 13 19:51 /Users/t1/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
I got similar results when I tried copying a file with Read+Write permissions for all from a USB flash drive to the Desktop, again with the "Ignore Ownership" box unchecked.

How can I load the mix of one song for another song?

I'm going to be mixing a live gospel album with 9 tracks of drums, bass, guitar, piano, strings, organ, lead vocals and 6 tracks of choir vocals. Each song will basically be mixed the same except for variations in the choir levels and lead vocals. I want to mix this in logic but I don't want to create a mix for each song from scratch. All the audio tracks will be consistiently on the same track, meaning Bass-trak 1, guitar-trak 10 etc... for each song. What would be the easiest way to do this without creating a mix from scratch for each song.
Thanks

Hi. I find myself in this situation a lot, and eventually settled on this method.
Mix the first track the way you want it, and getting your levels and plugins settled. Save the song as the title of that particular song. Then, select everything in the arrange window, and delete it. If you are asked to delete or keep audio files, click keep, cos you don't want to lose recorded audio. If you have set markers, delete those too. if you have any automation, select track automation>delete all automation of all tracks.
You are then set with a clean sheet with your tracks labelled, levels set and all the bells and whistles. Now do a SAVE AS and call it something like KICKASSGOSPELTEMPLATE or even save it as a logic template. Then, with this template open, open up another one of your songs, select everything in your arrange window, copy it to your clipboard, move to your template song, go bar number 1, and paste. You will be asked whether you want to copy instruments or tracks. I can't remember which one you select, but a quick trial and error should see you straight. All the audio tracks should come down onto the right audio objects and hitting play should have you almost to where you want to be.

How to play DVD burned on to surperdrive on a DVD player?

Ok I burned a slideshow on to a DVD-R Disc, using a Mac superdrive and can view it on my macbook air, can I view it on a DVD player?

If you’re able to view it in the DVD Player on the Mac, you’ll be able to view it in a standalone player.
If you burned it as a data DVD, you can’t.

Has anybody actually succeeded in burning 96/24 audio onto a DVD-R?

Has anybody actually succeeded in burning 96/24 audio onto a DVD-R and been able to play it back on a standard DVD player? iDVD apparently does not support 96/24 audio files. On three different computers, 2 MacBooks and a G4 Powerbook, with 5 different versions of OS 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 and several different updates to Toast 9, I still have never been able to burn a 96/24 Music DVD. 48/24 works, but that throws away half the musical information/resolution--and that really isn't satisfactory. Is there anyone out there who has actually succeeded in burning 96/24 Music DVDs with Toast Titanium 9???? If so on what machine and with what OS (and I suppose what version of Toast 9)? Any hints? Thanks

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Try having a read of some of the articles on this page. These cover the use of the Burn folder as already mentioned as well as various other methods.
