Burning movies to DVD or CD

I want to make movies and burn them to a dvd or cd. How can I do this with a PC?

Thanks. More specifically, the videos are not compatible with Windows MovieMaker. On my current system, they are only compatible with QuickTime, which does not support burning of Dvds or cds. What software is there for PCs to do this?
I would like to be able to take basic clips on my ipod, download them to my pc, then string them together like in imovie or moviemaker, then burn them to a disc.
What software is good to do this? Is getting imovie for the ipod a good option to put the clips together before burning them to a dvd, or is there pc software that will do this? Money is an issue, so is there any good, basic, cheap software available? Do you have to convert the .mov to some other format?
I thought about windows media player, but this does not recognize .mov files.
Thanks again.

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 may caused by the video codec which are not recognized by your DVD Player.
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).

No sound when burn movie to dvd (premiere elements 3, sony vaio, vista)

Hi,
When I burn a movie to DVD using premiere elements I end up with no sound.
Analyzing the VOB with avicodec reports it has no audio track - and I get the same problem if burn to a folder or direct to a disc.
Exporting to mpeg or other formats works without problem.
Also - when I try the burn, I find a large .wav file in the temporary files folder, which seems to match the sound the DVD should have.
But for some reason PE isn't combining it into the VOB?
My current workaround is exporting as mpeg, and importing this to moviemaker and burning from there - but it's a pain to do this.
I saw some posts about this topic from last year - and mentioning VAIO as a common factor - but none of the sugggestions there have worked, and I can't find any solution/new info. Apologies if I've missed something in the forums.
Any info/suggestions would be much appreciated!
cheers,
Mark

Sadly, we see a number of problems that are unique to the VAIO.
Sony is notorious for rewriting the operating system to fit their needs. Still, you'd think, if Premiere Elements came bundled with it, it would at least work with the system.
I highly recommend manually updating the operating system and firmware (these things become outdated weekly, and outdated firmware can really wreak havoc on your machine), clearing off the junkware, optimizing Vista and making sure you have the latest version of Quicktime and, if you're using Premiere Elements 3, that you have installed the 3.02 patch. These links to the FAQ library at the top of this forum will show you how.

And, if all that fails, it might well be worth a call to Sony, since they supposedly built and tested their machine and software before they sold it.

Burning movie to DVD after it was already done

Created a movie in iMove HD6, burned it to DVD. All is great!
Days later, I need a few more copies, and iMovie wants to do the long rendering process again.
Since it was done once, is there a way to expedite the process?

No, you will need to do the long rendering process again, because you burned directly from iDVD. But, as long as you have to re-encode again, instead save your iDVD project as a Disk Image (an option on the File menu) and burn your DVD from the Disk Image using the Disk Utility application on your Mac. The rendering process will be done only once, when you create the Disk Image. After that, you can burn as many DVDs as you want, in as many different sessions as you want, from the Disk Image with Disk Utility without any more endoding. Takes about 1/10th of the time.

Burn movie to dvd

Imported all photos, video, music, itunes, and movie is made, edited and ready to burn on a dvd so I can share it with friends and family on tv.

Burning movies to DVD

I have just edited an hour and a half program that needs to burned to a DVD and copied to a VHS tape. I used iMovie. When I go to iDVD, it says I need a double layered DVD. What is that? I am doing this for a cable TV program and don't know if that would work. Also, they want a VHS tape copy. Can I do that, and if so, how? Can I export it to a VHS player and record it? Help!!

Go:
Preferences
General
Encoder Settings
Best Quality
And:
No, you can't not have a theme. Just pick one like 'Transparent Black' from the 4.0 themes. It has no music or motion. You can just drop in a still of your own from your movie.

Burning movies onto DVD

I have some movies on my MBP and want to write them onto DVD so I can play them on my DVD player. They are played through quicktime on my MBP, if I burn them to DVD will they just automatically play through my DVD player or do I have to do something else?
Also, what kind of DVD format do I need?

RW discs is an option but not all DVD players can read them, usuallt the cheap ones (cheaper the better) can read them but the expensive ones can't.
You will have to try it and find out if your DVD player can read/play them without skipping parts or messing up the sound.
Toast will encode the avi or any other file to DVD format and uses the entire DVD space. Toast compresses the movie using all the space it has to keep the best quality, putting more than 1 movie on a single disc is possible if you drag multiple files into Toast's Video section and it will give you the option to make a DVD menu and everything but the quality will get poor.
Best is: 1 disc for 1 movie
Don't be sorry for asking questions that's what the forums are for !
We all had to learn one way or another, why not on a forum

Burning Movies to DVDs

I am not sure this is the best place to post this, but hopefully someone has some insight.
I have some movies on my computer and I want to burn them onto DVD's so I can play them on a conventional DVD player in my house. I already made one dvd DL a coaster by trying to use mac disc utility to make an image. I have used DVD Imager to make an image and now I have two files, one is the name of the movie.img and the other is just the name of the movie (the icon looks like an HD). Which file should I burn onto the DVD? If I go to disk utility to burn the movie onto a DVD, I think I can choose either the file ending in .img or its subfile (the one with the HD as the image). I would like to avoid making another dvd a coaster and I would love it if I can make DVD's that I can play on a household DVD player. Thanks for your help.
Best,
Aaron

You might have used the same media in the past with good luck.
I have read several users here on the fourmns that have had issue with the innconsistant poor quaity of some media used.
I personally have bought a 30 pack and got 5 or 6 from this 30 pack to burn correctly the rest were JUNK. Or as they like to use the term COASTERS.
If both burners you use are doing this I lean toward media, it could also be you need to check for firmware updates for your burners from either the manufactures site or do a google search of your burners.

I can't burn movie to dvd on idvd

I have completed my movie and I am ready to burn but when I insert the blank disk it tells me that I need to enter a recordable dvd. I have tried several new disks and it keeps telling me the same thing on all.

Where are you getting this mesage, in iDVD? What happens if you insert the disk while in the Finder? Do you get the same message? If so them it might be a problem with your optical drive.

Good software to make and burn movies to dvd using 10.8.2

10.8.2 does not support I DVD I am looking for a good software to make my own movies yet be simple to use and burn to DVDs. I'm a beginner and need help thanks

You can use iDVD with 10.8.2 - I am; it still works (although it is no longer included as it used to be). So, if you have a retail iLife 09 or 11, install it. If you don't, it is absolutely worth going to Amazon or ebay or some other resellers and buying a copy of the retail iLife 11 disk.

Flickering distortion when burning movies to DVD

I've noticed that regardless of the source of the movie/photos (digital, scanned, different cameras/camcorders) when the project is finished on a DVD and plays on TV (whether old-fashioned or HD) there are always some sections that have a flicker or shimmer distortion whereas other sections are smooth. I assume this is par for the course and has to do with the conversion process (it plays without distortions on the computer). Is there any software or hardware that can create a more perfect DVD?

I recently downloaded Picasa, not too familiar with it, but will try your suggestion with my next project. Incidentally, just got a DVD re the recent birth of my great nephew, done professionally. Many still photos with Ken Burns effect done as a movie with music. I noticed, the quality was perfect, no flicker distortion whatsoever. So why we have such a problem here? Guess, the processing software for iMovie and iDvd are not up to snuff. Wonder if Final Cut Express Pro and iDVD pro will produce better results. I have both of these programs but I'm too intimidated by their complexity. I might try it if I knew I could get better results. Anyone knows?

Burning movies to DVD using imovie

I downloaded some movies I took from my Canon FS100 to iMovie. How do I burn them on a DVD?

First, make a project. Then share your project to the Media Browser.
If you prefer to make a DVD of your raw import, go to the iDVD Media Browser and navigate to the Event file.

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.

How do I burn Movies to DVD on New Macs with no DVD Drive?

I understand the new I Macs have no CD or DVD Drive. How do I burn my i Movies to a DVD?

Yes, you can use an external DVD burner, BUT:
even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
“when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
“You can still use it one all of your Macs. If you get an invalid certificdate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
“It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date. I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected. For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?
