Burning movies to DVD from iTunes

I have a few dozen movies in my iTunes library that I have acquired from various sources - ripping from disc or copying from an external hard drive. I wish to burn all these movies to DVD to free up space on my computer. I have tried burning the movies with iTunes but my DVD player will not read the disc. It gives me a message saying, "There is no video or audio data." What should I do?

It's not. iTunes does not burn a regular, playable DVD.
In this case, you can use some third party DVD burning tool to rip iTunes movies to DVD.
Rip means to get eth info off a CD/DVD.
Burn means to create a CD/DVD (because the disc is burned with the laser).

Burn Purchased Movies To DVD from Itunes

How do I create a DVD from movies that I purchase from Itunes? It allows me to burn a DVD that another computer can play but not a DVD Player.

Does that mean the only way to watch my purchased movie on TV would be to hook the computer to the TV??
You can use a computer or an AppleTV or an iPod/iPad/iPhone connected to the TV.

My burned audio CD/DVD from iTunes doesn't play on a CD/DVD audio player

If I burn audio CD or DVD from my iTunes, I cannot play this music on an external player. Any recommendations? Thanks

Hi I just burned an MP3 CD straight from iTunes, and it doesn't play on any MP3 CD player I've tried it on (car MP3 deck, DVD player that plays audio CDs, and MP3s). Audio CDs burned from iTunes work fine though.
I've read somewhere, that when burning MP3 CDs from iTunes, iTunes burns it with Apples standard format, rather than CD players standard format of ISO 9660. And that is the reason why burned MP3 CDs from iTunes only plays on a Mac.
A work around I've done was select all the songs from my list duplicate them in another folder, and then reconvert them in MP3s (so that I don't have to search all over the place for each MP3 file). I then burned these MP3s onto a CD-R using toast's MP3 CD format. And it works on all my MP3 CD players. However, in doing this process, I've lost all the tags for each MP3. The only thing that comes up in the display is the name of the song. Artist, Album, etc... don't show up anymore.
Is there a way of burning an MP3 CD that will play on all MP3 enabled players, while keeping all ID Tags intact, in iTunes?
Thanks.

How to burn movie to dvd from imovie?

How to I burn a home movie from imovie theater to dvd?

Steve Jobs "BluRay is a bag of hurt"
Not if you buy FCPX from them at $300.
Then they will provide you with the ability to burn both DVD and BluRay.
Not dead yet !
The "BluRay is a bag of hurt" is a bunch of hooey.
Apple's business model is for downloaded everything. They don't sell software/movies/music on physical media. It's as simple as that.
I have iTunes, Netflix and Flixster. But the movie watching experience is always vastly superior when I just pop in a Blu-ray and watch my movie in 1080P and 7.1 sound.

I'm not very techy, so be gentle! i am using midvd app to burn home movies to dvd from iMovie '11 version 9.0.9. It now burns the dvd but there is nothing on the disc. its not recognised by the iMac or any other dvd player.

I was using midvd app(i never had idvd) to make home movies on dvd from imovie '11 version 9.0.9 with no problems before xmas 2013. ive just tried to make a new one today and it wont work.
It seems to burn to the dvd (you can see a mark on the back of the dvd as if it has some info on it) but it wont play on imac (just says blank disc) or any other dvd player.
I have tried reinstalling midvd app and also tried 2 other dvd creator apps and the same thing happens the app says its burning and the external superdrive whirs like its doing something but it wont play.
The only thing i have done since xmas is all the updates to the operationg system and updated imovie (i didnt like the new version so went back to using the previous one)
Any ideas - i am new to all things mac!

When you export your movie from iMovie, are you choosing H.264? That is the only compression method supported by this miDVD. Youc an give this a try first:
Use Share > Export to Quicktime > Movie to Quicktime Movie > choose Options and then make your choices in Settings, etc (you can choose whatever size your video is - mine was 720 HD at that time):
If that does not work, I'd suggest going to their support site as they claim to be able to burn to DVD.... I just checked their site and here is their list of supported file types:

Three issues here. The pre-pending is useless when selecting songs to play, plus it.takes up much of the admittedly limited space in my on-screen menu. Since it doesn't help me select a song to play, it simply prevents more relevant info from being displayed in that area. However, there is a second area on the menu that is designed to list title, artist and album but those fields are blank - despite I-tunes inclusion of the info in the xferred files.
JCP,
Regarding the tags, on an MP3 CD iTunes simply burns whatever is embedded in the MP3 file. From your description, it sounds like the Onkyo is seeing the filenames but not the tags, which does seem strange. You may want to try the question in an Onkyo forum.
If you don't need the pre-pended serial number, and don't care about the sequence, you can burn from iTunes as a data CD instead of an MP3 CD.

Data DVD from iTunes not working - please help

I burned a 4 GB playlist as a data DVD from iTunes 7.
I am trying to put the files on a PC running iTunes 7, and NOTHING is happening. The drive in the PC is DVD-rom and all other DVD's work fine.
What's the deal?

What is "Adding to library"?
Huh?
This is how you get songs into iTunes.
Open iTunes.
Inset the DVD.
Go to File -> Add File (or folder) to iTunes and select the files/folders on the DVD.
The DVD is not going to show up in iTunes because it is not an audio CD. It is a data DVD.
Do not try to Import the DVD because Import is used for audio CDs only.

Problems Moving Ripped DVD from Itunes to Ipod

Problems Moving Ripped DVD from Itunes to Ipod
I am having a problem transfering ripped DVD's from the Itunes Video folder to the actual Ipod. I thought one of the cool points of the Video Ipod was that you could play DVD's on it. I know I needed to use special software to achieve this since I researched it here. I am using Handbrake Lite since regular Handbrake look too daunting for me. I also used Isquint, since it was recommened here. I used both without changing anything on both of those progams other than click the go button. The DVD's will play in Itunes but it won't allow me to drag them to the Ipod. They are in the Video folder in Itunes. What in the wild, wild world of sports am I do'in wrong? I assume it's something stupid because the device is stellar. Hope someone out there can lend us a hand.
Kind Regards,
Julias

Burning movies bought in the iTunes store?

Is it possible to burn movies bought in the iTunes store onto DVD so i can play them through a normal DVD player? It's kind of difficult for me and my family (four of us) to all gather around my 13.3" screen to watch a movie that i bought. Any help is appreciated.

Officially no, they will allow you to back-up the movie as a "data file" on a DVD (for back-up purposes), but not burn it onto a DVD to watch in a DVD player. You would need to either connect your computer to your TV, or there are accessories available to connect your ipod, for video playback.
There are some hacks/workarounds out there (try googling this topic), but nothing official.

On my iPad, when I try to open a movie I purchased from iTunes, I get "The requested URL was not found on this server."

On my iPad, when I try to open a movie I purchased from iTunes, I get "The requested URL was not found on this server." It's on my laptop but when I play it there, it 'jerks' every couple of seconds. How can I fix both these issues? Thanks!!

Select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.

How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well?

How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well, I keep deleting stuff from iTunes to try and free up some space only to find the file still in the library?

It depends upon what preferences settings you use. Most people use default settings so when you delete an item it asks you if you want to get rid of the file too.
If iTunes absolutely refuses to get rid of the file (I have never heard of this by the way) you can always go to the media folder or wherever the file is located and drag it to the trash yourself.

HT200109 Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?

Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?
Great, so now I have to airplay it by linking my computer to my Apple TV and then the movie has to buffer! So, all that time I spent downloading the HD video has to technically "download" again by buffering. The more I use Apple TV, the more I feel like this item was not created by Apple. I don't even use it for what I originally purchased it for. If I would have known that anytime I wanted to sync a movie from my computer to Apple TV by using airplay that it would have to buffer the movie, I would have never ever ever ever ever purchased this waste of time device. So the video has to technically play all the way through one time first so Apple TV can "remember" the movie to play it back in real time afterwards.
Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong that can be fixing my problem? I should have known that the Apple TV had so many things backwards when simple things like when you are using the remote and you reach the bottom of your list, in order to cycle back to the top of your list you have then press the directional buton back the other way rather than most modern day devices that will automatically cycle you back to the top or to the other side when you reached the bottom or end but keep on pressing the button. That **** annoys me when I am doing a search for a movie and have to type the name in manually and have to cycle back and forth to the letters. It makes me feel like I am using a rotary phone or something!

I was told by someone to try and purchase something directly from my Apple TV and that will help authorize my Apple TV. So I picked something that was free and it downloaded.
Then I went back to the Movie that would not work and it played just fine.
So it seemed to work. I will have to try it on other movies and TV shows later.

How do i move an app from itunes to my iphone

how do i move an app from itunes to my iphone?

Connect the iPhone to your computer, select it under 'Devices' on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side of iTunes on the Apps tab you should be able to select which apps to sync to the iPhone.

I downloaded a movie last night from iTunes and it downloaded to my laptop and my phone but for some reason it now won't play on my laptop. The album artwork on my laptop has gone and it exists perfectly on my phone. What do I do?

Help!
I downloaded a movie last night from iTunes and it downloaded to my laptop and my phone but for some reason it now won't play on my laptop. The album artwork on my laptop has gone and it exists perfectly on my phone. What do I do?
I paid for it so I'd really like to avoid paying again just to see this movie. Is it because it's on my iPhone? Whenever I try to click on the movie to make it play it just does nothing like it's not there. The file for the movie exists within my iTunes library files but I can't seem to click and drag it into iTunes or open it with iTunes. Need help.

Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

As far as I know, motion templates can only be used with DVD Studio Pro. FCP X only lets you add a background image to the DVD menu.
