Burning multiple copies of a data CD?

I need to burn multiple copies of a data CD (50).  Dragging to a burn folder each time is tedious... is there a way I can enter the number of CDs to burn and then mindlessly feed blank CDs into the (external) burner?

Well, not quite mindlessly ....
A bit easier process would be to use Disk Utility to create a DVD/CD Master image of the folder you want to burn to CD.  Then use Disk Utility to repeatedly burn the CDs.  But you will still have to initiate each burn; there's no batch function and of course you have to manually feed the blank CDs into your iMac.
In Disk Utility, do File > New > Disk Image from Folder.   Select the folder you want to image, then select Image Format = DVD/CD Master.   This will give you a .cdr file.   Then, still in Disk Utility,, select the .cdr file from the list of disks and click the Burn button.

  • Burning multiple copies of a project

    Don't mean to ask a stupid question, but here goes.
    After I build and format my first copy of a project, all subsequent copies get a message saying that a VIDEO_TS directory of this project already exists. Choosing Reuse will reuse as much of the current VIDEO_TS contents as possible.
    Is this normal? By resuing am I getting a DVD with less data than the original?
    I must not understand the process involved. Any help out there??
    Thanks.

    What is the difference in burning a TS folder in TOAST or saving in .img and using DiskUtility to burn many DVD ?
    I have many copies to burn, what is the best workflow ? The TS folder in Toast ( I have vesrion 5.2.3) or format in .img and use DiskUtility to burn ?
    When burning multiple copies it is preferred to burn from an disc image file, which you could do with either Toast 5.2.3 or Disk Utility. What's vital is that the image file is UDF format.
    Burning a VIDEO_TS with Toast 5.2.3 is prone to error because you have to use the DVD format in the Other tab, click New Disc, add the VIDEO_TS, create an empty AUDIO_TS and then click the burn button. And don't open the VIDEO_TS folder in the Finder before burning because that adds some invisible directory files that could affect the ability of the DVD to be playable. (Toast 6 and 7 automatically remove those files if present).
    By the way, Toast 6 and 7 added the ability to select the quantity of discs you want burned.

  • Do I need to get a separate program to burn multiples copies of a DVD on Mac?

    Do I need to get a separate program to burn multiples copies of a DVD on Mac, and not have the copies separate into AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS?  I made a series of lesson plans on iMovie.  When it opens on the original disk, it goes right to my music and intro menu.  When I try to burn it to a new DVD, it shows up as AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS.  It does not open at all.  Please advise. 
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Does the disk image that you created from the previously burned iDVD project look like this?
    If so you don't copy any part of it to a blank DVD.  You open Disk Utility and select it like I do in this screenshot:
    insert a blank DVD and click on the Burn button. 

  • Burning multiple copies of a DVD

    How do I burn multiple copies of a DVD in DVDSP without it formatting it every time?

    Kevin Rieg wrote:
    How do I burn multiple copies of a DVD in DVDSP without it formatting it every time?
    Unless I'm misunderstanding, you actually do want DVDSP to Format every time. In DVDSP jargon, Format is the writing of a Build to disc - either optical media or, as Jon mentions, to a hard drive image.
    What you don't want it to do is Build (or Build/Format) every single time. Build your DVD once, then Format (aka Command-F) every single time after that.
    (I recommend Build first - without Formating - because I like to open the folder I've built to in OS X's DVD Player and confirm that all my functionality is correct. Also, once in a blue moon, I'll have some type of Build issue, like a menu rendering incorrectly, that I'd prefer to spot before I commit to Formatting.)

  • Best way to show multiple copies of same data to different users

    Hi,
    I am new to configuring and using Oracle. I have an oracle db installed on a server machine and I loaded it with a set of data. I have multiple users who would all like to access the tables but they need to see unique copies of the data.
    What is my best approach? Should I create a new database instance? If so what is the best way to copy data to the new instance?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Each developer should copy from the 'base' schema to his own the tables he requires to do his work. Give each developer select privileges on the 'base schema' tables so he cannot change them. This way, the developer can refresh his data as needed on his own. Public synonyms for the base schema tables will enable developers to only have to copy tables they wish to modify.
    Creating a separate fully loaded schema for each developer is going to create a never ending load of work for you as developers will be constantly asking you to refresh their schemas. Alternatively, you could create an export of production on a schedule and let the developers do the import to their schema when they wish.
    Basically, these folks are developers and, IMNSHO, should be managing their own development schemas.

  • Multiple Copies of Same Data in RTF - Looping using variable

    We have a requirement, where an Invoice batch job will run
    at night and pick up all the entire invoices, batch would contain invoices of
    different customers.
    Each customer will have DFF at site level informing number
    of copies required to be printed.
    Eg:
    Customer ABC Invoice ABC111 No. of Copies -4
    Customer PQR Invoice PQR222 No. of Copies -2
    Customer XYZ Invoice XYZ3333 No. of Copies -1
    I am trying to use following variable in the RTF, for the data to loop but it creates various problems
    Grouping and Variables:
    <?for-each@section:G_HEADER?>
    <?for-each@section:xdoxslt:foreach_number($_XDOCTX,1,DFF,1)?>  --- value coming in XML tag from DFF
    <?for-each:/?>
    The actual invoice tables and rtf
    <?end for-each?>
    Problems:
    If I remove <?for-each:/?> tag, I am
    getting the looping of data but the output file has no data from tags – only column
    labels / headers appear ---- But looping happens
    a.) With <?for-each:/?> tag,
    sometimes the RTF works and looping happens along with data and something the RTF crashes with below error
                  oracle.xdo.XDOException:java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
    b.) When I try with a data containing just single invoice – looping and everything works as expected.
    However, if I load data which has multiple invoices each having different value in DFF for looping, entire file only contains first invoice ---- Looping happens still but does not proceed to next group
    Solutions:
    Can someone please guide me to the solution?
    Please recommend what would be the correct syntax, so that each invoice gets looped dynamically in the RTF.

    Here's the dataset I used and tried to replicate what you were trying to achieve:
    <ROWSET>
    <ROW>
    <ITEM>A</ITEM>
    <COUNT>3</COUNT>
    </ROW>
    <ROW>
    <ITEM>B</ITEM>
    <COUNT>5</COUNT>
    </ROW>
    </ROWSET>
    Here's the code:
    <?for-each@section:ROW?><?variable@incontext:G1;current()?>
      <?for-each@section:xdoxslt:foreach_number($_XDOCTX,1,COUNT,1)?>
      <?$G1/ITEM?>
    <?end for-each?>
    <?end for-each?>
    So based on the count, there are 3 pages where A (from ITEM field) is printed and 5 pages where B is printed.
    Hope this helps.

  • Burning multiple copies

    I am currently trying to use iDVD for short DVD production runs, however, I have been having some issues. First, I have found that after running a 25th copy, iDVD shuts down. Does it have a copy maximum?
    Also, and here is the most frustrating problem, I am having about a 10-15% fallout rate on these copies. It does not appear to be a player compatibility problem, as it is that the burn is corrupted. Some chapters won't play, other times it just hiccups and skips a minute or two. Or, it flat-out won't even load. I actually had one that came back from a customer where only 3 chapters of 36 would play. Are these problems due to iDVD's limitations regarding larger copy outputs? Problems that would be solved by just moving to DVD Studio Pro? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Denis, I appreciate the suggestion. I do have the full Final Cut Studio, including DVD Studio Pro. However, as I am a new business, some of the projects I have been doing have been for very low pay, and I really liked the quick design feature of iDVD and being able to pop a product out within 10-15 minutes. I can't do that with Studio Pro...yet. Time has been a crunch. Business has picked up enough that I just can't do the shortcut anymore. Time to break down and get an industrial duplicator, learn how to use DVD Studio Pro, and do it all correctly. Of course, to be honest, just thinking about having to learn bit rate and audio compression adds a little bit of hesitation, but...it's got to be done. I've got the Apple Training book, so my wife and kids will be fatherless for the next couple of weeks. Thanks for the insight!

  • Burning multiple copies of slideshows

    I made a great slideshow of wedding pictures but it takes forever to burn each disc because the program makes a new .wmv file each time. Is there a better way to do this? I tried saving the .wmv file but it didn't seem to make a difference. Each time I select 'burn a vcd' the process seems to start from the beginning.

    If you use ULead Movie Factory 5, it will take around 4 to 5 minutes AFTER the first copy.
    Place the wmv file in the add video section.
    Select no menu's if you want.
    The first build will take awhile.
    After you burn the dvd,
    choose to return to the finish page.
    Add a blank disc, and click on burn again.
    I had a slide show that took around 2 hours for
    Photoshop to create wmv file (200 pictures with a lot of panning and zooming) about 15 seconds per slide.
    The Movie Factory 5 took awhile also if I remember correctly
    to redo the wmv to vob conversion.
    BUT...the reburns were around 4 minutes 37 seconds.
    I believe the free trial download gives you every thing.

  • Duplicating multiple copies of DVD

    I'm on a backpacker list, and for the last few years, people have compiled a DVD of highlights of the people hiking the PCT that year.
    The program is public domain and copies are made without charge to the recipients.
    I'm duplicating some of the DVDs as my contribution. Is there a way to have disk utility burn multiple copies without starting over each time and doing the whole verification and compiling before actually burning the disk?

    Insert the original DVD, quit DVD Player if it starts, and run Disk Utility. Select the DVD drive in the left column (the drive, all the way to the left, not the volume indented below it). Select :New" from the "File" menu, and choose "Disk Image from disk...". Set "Image Format" to "DVD/CD master", choose a file location (such as "Desktop"), and click "Save". When it finishes, eject the DVD, select the disk image file in the left column, and click the "Burn" button (or use Command-B). If necessary, click the triangle at the right to see the burn options. You can use the disk image file to burn as many discs as you want.

  • Burn Multiple Copyright Protected DVDs

    After I have created a copyright protected DVD (Formatted for CSS), how do I make/format multiple copies?
    I have tried making DVDs where you are allowed mutliple copies from that DVD but subsequent copies cannot be made from the copies. However, I find that the copies I have made from the original CAN in fact be easily copied using Toast.
    I tried copyright protection by Formatting for CSS and that seems to be more difficult for others to duplicate. The problem is that I have not been able to figure out how to format/burn multiple copies straight from DVD Pro. I have been doing it just one at a time.
    I would like to burn/format multiple copies of a copyright protected/no copies allowed DVD I have created. I have a Primera Bravo II Disc Publisher
    Message was edited by: Alex Cena

    Thanks Gary. That helps me on the Primera issue though I can just as easily burn the project onto a DVD burner on my computer then tell Primera's program to copy that x number of times. Your method may be quicker though so I will give it a try.
    In terms of copyright protection, I read what you wrote but I need to follow up with a question. First, when I check "No Copies Allowed" on DVD Pro, my users have not been able to make copies of that DVD. At least not easily with what the average person has on their computer. I want to make multiple copies of that kind of DVD w/o having to do it one at a time. Is there an easy way to accomplish that for runs of about 20 copies? I do runs of 10-20 copies several times a week so I am looking for a way to reduce my workflow.

  • Reprocess XML data to deliver multiple copies

    I am working with the Word Template Builder. I have an XML database to process into a PDF file. When I use XML syntax and for-each@section as the context in order to restart page numbering with each new document, it works fine. If I duplicate the for-each loop and try it again, I get no data to display - "This file cannot be opened because it has no pages to display". Once I pull out either of the for-each loops, it processes as expected. I'd like to reprocess the same data file in this manner in order to get multiple copies of the same data. If I pull out @section, it will process the data twice, but then the page numbering starts at 1 and is not reset at the beginning of each new document. If 3 documents are there totalling 7 pages, I get page 1 of 7 and 2 of 7.
    Any ideas how I can reprocess the same data file multiple times using the section context so that page numbering will be reset with each new section (document)?

    If you are talking about a page with an insert query, ignore the fact that it's a page refresh.  It's just another way that someone can insert duplicate records.  I like to handle this in my insert query.
    insert into thetable
    (f1, f2, etc)
    select distinct
    value1, value2, etc
    from some_small_table
    where you don't already have that record

  • Printing multiple copies of PDF causes huge amounts of data to be sent to printer...

    Whenever I need to print multiple copies of a PDF file Acrobat sends the complete file for each and every copy. This really chokes the RIP or laserprinter and takes many times longer to print than needed.
    It seems it is something to do with the CS3 software for Intel Macs and the issue has been around for a long time... My only solution at this stage is to print PDFs from the Preview app (built into OSX).

  • Multiple Copies of iTunes.MSI file

    I am in the process of cleaning up my older Sony Vaio system disk (XP Home), and noted I have multiple copies of iTunes.msi and Quick Time.msi files in a subdirectory entitled *'downloaded installations'*. Some dates go back to 2005. Is it advisable to delete older versions or are all versions/dates necessary to remain on the system? I also noted many ipod updater files from 2006. Are these necessary along with *restore.jpsw files to be kept? I'm hoping there is a concise file listing of whats really necessary to keep vs. install or update leftover files. Most of these are 35Meg+ so I have a lot of disk space being used right now for these older files.
    Thanks in advance...............

    I never noticed theose before! I had several. I got rid of them all after a quick google convinced me I'll never need them again.

  • Running multiple copies of an App on one NetWeaver server

    Hi there,    (V12 with ERP/ECC transactions)
    We are setting up our landscapes/environments for development, beta testing, final QA and production.  I am wondering if we can combine development and beta testing on the same system. 
    The obvious concern is that they will have copies of the "same" transactions.  If we don't do anything special, the data source name is hard coded in the transaction and as we are on the same MII server, they can't point to different data sources unless we edit the transactions.  Is there a way to have a transaction use a configuration of some sort to dynamically specify the actual data source?
    Are there any other issues attempting to do this?
    Thanks,
    --Amy Smith
    --Haworth

    Thanks Jeremy,
    Thanks for the suggestion Jeremy. 
    Our server is not capable of another instance.  It is not easy to get our SAP Basis people to install and configure a new system and we are not allowed to do it ourselves.  I was trying to find a way to use our existing instance of NetWeaver/MII to run multiple copies of the application.  In J2EE apps I have worked on, it is as simple as copying the software, changing the URL, changing the application config files for the data source and deploying the new duplicate app under a different name.
    Seems that in MII the transaction "hard" links the data source name to the data source definition and that link is not dynamically configurable.  Would that be a fair statement?
    Thanks again,
