Burning mov file to DVD

I am trying to burn my mov file to DVD. It keeps telling me that there is not enough space on the DVD even though the DVD states that it has 1 hour for HQ, 2 hours for SP, 4 hours for LP. The sequence is about 90 minutes.

You will need to set encoding to VBR and the lower the bitrate until your content can fit onto an SL DVD or opt for a DL DVD. Where are you encoding? DVDSP or Compressor?

  • 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.

  • How do I burn a .mov file to DVD?

    I need to burn an MPEG-2 video file saved as .mov to a DVD that will play in a regular DVD player.
    I have tried opening iDVD and the selecting 'Create a New Project'. When I have selected a location for the project and the main window opens, I go to File > OneStep DVD from Movie...
    My understanding is that when I import a movie file, it will burn it straight to the disc without any further options. It does this, however after a couple of minutes the DVD is ejected blank and iDVD says the burn has completed.
    How can I solve this problem or is there another way to burn a .mov file to DVD?
    Thanks, Dan

    A green screen in an indication that the movie is in a format not supported by iDVD.   It should be in one of these formats:  DV, high-definition video (HDV), MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-4 SD, MPEG-4 HD, and AVCHD.  (From SDMacUser's post in What input file formats does iDVD...: Apple Support Communities). The post has other requirements that need to be met.
    SD = standard definition.
    Open your movie with QT Player and bring up the Info window for the movie.  It will have the format:
    Another possible reason is the Energy Saving settings on the Mac.  Turn off energy saving and screen saver before starting the save as disk image or burn.
    Other possible fixes can be found in this tipic: Green Screen with audio after Burning: Apple Support Communities

  • Mov file to dvd

    I have moved my videorecordings from my Ipad to my PC (not mac). Is there a program I can use to burn the mov-files to a dvd. My burningprogram can not burn MOV files

    .wmv is, in fact, Windows media format, so yes, a PC should read it. But a PC should also be able to read .mov or .mp4. I can understand that there might be an issue with the DVD media, but the flash ought to work. Is the problem that the movie fails from the flash drive, or that the flash drive itself is unreadable (i.e., Windows can't read the drive's format)? You can try reformating the flash drive, or a new one, as FAT32 using Disk Utility and see if there's any better luck at school.
    Another "Share" options from iMovie is YouTube; do you have a YouTube account you could post to and point the teacher that way?

  • HT5839 Will it help to burn ts file on dvd

    Maverick osx will it help to burn ts file on dvd to make dvd playable on other DVDs?

    Yes. You would first need to out put a VIDEO_TS folder from FCPX (if that's possible). I can't help you much there since I use the Adobe Premiere Pro suite.
    But once you have a completed VIDEO_TS folder, you can use Toast Titanium to burn your disks. Unless a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements that is two versions back and the other weak software bundle items interest you, don't waste you money on the shovelware of the Pro version.
    You do need to purchase a plugin in order to burn DVD and Blu-ray video disks.
    You don't need to output an AUDIO_TS folder. As you'll notice, they're always empty. They're a holdover from way back at the beginning of DVD movies where the audio actually was in that folder. The only reason any software creates that folder now is for backward compatibility with old DVD players that won't play a disk if that folder isn't present - even though it's empty. Toast will automatically always add an AUDIO_TS folder to your disk when you drop in the video folder to burn a disk.

  • 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.

  • How can I import .mov file into dvd studio pro?

    Hi,
    I have a .mov file and want to but a dvd with menu and chapters. But when I try to import the .mov file into dvd studio pro it says Incompatible format. How can I import my .mov file in to dvd studio pro?

    Two ways…
    Transcode into a codec like Pro Res, import into DVDSP and let it do the encoding.
    Or better yet:
    Import into Compressor, choose a DVD preset and let Compressor encode. It will make two files, separate video and audio files. Import those into DVDSP.
    Good luck.

    Burned mov file of finished video as always but on playback there is a sudden loud audio feedback-type-buzz about a minute into program. Wisdom?

    Thanks for all your help and thorough answers. After trying several things
    without success, I ultimately just rebooted the system and...bingo...the
    problem went away. It was such an unusual problem that it just didn't occur
    to me that it would be that simple. Sometimes it isn't. I appreciate your
    working to help me deal with this.

  • Burning AVI movie files to DVD, whats the trick in iDVD?

    I have AVI movie files that I want to burn to a DVD. I am able to "import" the file and do all the extras with iDVD but I am unable to select chapters and when I try to preview the movie its just a blank screen. What am I missing?!

    Hi
    .avi is no Video Format/Codec - it is a container and can hold Codecs that iDVD can use or NOT
    • Open it in QuickTime Player
    • then open Inspector (cmd+I)
    • read - Video Format/Codec: nnnnnnnnn
    What does it read ?

  • Burn a mov file to dvd disk

    Hi, trying to burn a short MOV file to a dvd and wish to know the proper procedure.
    The file is presently on my iMac, but wish the dvd to play on a dvd player.
    Step by step instructions would be great since I've not done this before.
    I've never perfomrd a burn image, so if that's necessary kindly provide instructions.
    Thank you.

    First you need an applicartion that can create/author a video DVD.  The best available for the Mac is iDVD. 
    However, If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them. 
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty 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.

  • H.264 HD MOV file in dvd studio not importing?

    I have an H.264 HD video (1,440 x 1080, 16 x 9). I was able to import into FCp and export out to quicktime successfully yet when I attempt to import this file into DVD Studio it shuts down as it tries to import, throwing an error? Any ideas.

    I'm having the same problem when attempting to produce an HD DVD as recommended by Rick Young.
    I have no difficulty in burning an HD DVD using MPEG compression, but I'm unable to get DVDSP to accept an H264 file created using compressor (H264 for DVDSP setting). The .mov file when brought into DVDSP4 is seen only as an audio file; it plays as video in QT and also in iDVD as expected. Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

  • Burning movies (.avi) to dvd

    well what i need to do is burn a .avi movie onto a dvd so that i can watch it on my dvd player in my livingroom. i asume i need a conversion program to convert the .avi to some format of which i dunno. then what do i need to burn the movie onto a viewable dvd?

    Is this a divx .avi?
    If so, do you have the divx codec installed?
    http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
    You might also check out divx doctor, which will "fix" or convert the file to a .mov which can be easily used in idvd.

  • Burning movies to a dvd

    i cant get my downloaded movie,in iTunes, to burn to a dvd-r. I changed my preferences- advanced- burning to data or dvd, but it keeps telling me i need to insert a blank disc. The disc is blank and so i re-insert it and it "checks media" and then quits. I can't figure it out at all. I'd like to watch my movie on my tv, but things aren't looking so good

    iTunes doesn't support what you are trying to do. First problem is that it won't let you. The other is that video files are not in a format compatible with playing in a DVD player anyway. If you get a docking station to plug into TV you could play the video on TV that way.

  • Burning movie to a dvd?

    I just burned my quicktime move to a dvd, now how can I burn the same movie so it can play on a dvd player on my tv? Do I have to convert it?

    Not sure what you're asking
    Are you saying the DVD you burned doesn't play on your TV? If not, how did you encode/burn it, using what software?
    To create a standard DVD than can be played on set top players, first export your movie using Quicktime Movie. Then you could use Roxio Toast or iDVD to make your DVD
    Perhaps you created a data file with your Quicktime movie, not too sure. You have to encode it to MPEG2 first, using the above methods

  • Can't burn some files with DVD studio pro...Makes no sense to me

    I'm sure this problem is a result of me not having understanding of video compression, or codec, or something like that, but I am beyond frustrated with this program at the moment.
    For some reason I DVD studio will not recognize certain videos.
    Example...I downloaded two videos from youtube...both mp4's.
    imported both into FCP for editing
    Exported both to my desktop using the Export at Quicktime Movie option
    Went into DVD Studio to burn to DVD. one worked, one would not.
    Anyone PLEASE help, what am I not understanding about why DVD SP won't recognize these files?
    Thank you
    Todd

    First, take a look at the manual.
    Second. well. YouTube mp4s (h.264) Aren't in an editing codec. So when you exported as a quicktime movie you probably did so with the h.264 codec which DVD Studio didn't like.
    DVDs really like Mpeg files for picture and ac3 for audio. Now you can create those first (in Compressor for example), or, DVD SP will create them for you, but only if you give them nice healty MOV files. The problem really lays in how you got them out of FCP. We'll want to know exactly what form of MOV ended up on your desktop. The easiest way to tell is to go to the Sequence menu at the top of FCP and look at the sequence settings and tell us what they are. We can help from there--there's nothing wrong with your software, at least at this point.
