Burning on Mac Book Pro

I'm relatively new to Mac Book Pro. I don't have any additional software, and would like to not buy any if possible.
Anyway, i have a folder of music files (wmp files, converted with Flip4Mac). I would like to burn this onto a CD. So i did the following:
1. Created a "burn folder"
2. Dragged the music files into the burn folder
3. Pressed burn with the blank disc in.
4. And what it did was burn the actual files onto the CD (like it copied the folder) as opposed to burning a music CD
Now, this is probably second nature to all you seasoned vets, but try not to flame me. If anyone can help me out with what i did wrong, or how i can change it to burn music files instead of the data, that would be great!
P.S. I know about Toast 8, and will buy it if necessary, but would like to see if there is burning capabilities without buying this.
P.S.S. Yes, i have tried to drag the music into iTunes and burn it from there, but iTunes doesn't accept that file type.
Thanks in advance!

I know you stated that you would prefer not to buy anything, but if $10 is not too much you may want to download the trial version of EasyWMA. If it will do the trick and you have a lot to convert $10 is not so much right? The full version does batch processing and has iTunes integration.

How do I burn an iMovie using a bus super drive for mac book pro

I have a new mac book pro using the maverick operating system. I also have a ubs super drive. I am trying to burn an i movie to the dvd to be shown on a dvd player. It is saving as a mp4 and will not play in the dvd player. How do I save the movie to play it in a dvd player.
Thanks

For that you need iDVD. If you don't have it:
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

Help! I need a recommedation for a Mac Book Pro or Air for a singer-songwriter who needs to burn CDs and makes 30 minute to hour-long recordings. Thanks!

I am a hypnotherapist and singer-songwriter who purchased Pro Tools and took a brief class, but I'm not an engineer and it is over my head. I am looking at purchasing a Mac Book Pro or Air to dumb down to a Garageband app in order to keep production moving while I learn Pro Tools.
Can anyone recommend which laptop to get? I now have a Dell Studio XPS with Pro Tools on it. Just need to keep my clients happy,and I make recordings that are 30 minutes to an hour long for them, then burn CD's and/or make mp3s that I email to them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Many thanks!

BTW (speaking as a Dad of 3 daughters in Grad school) if you don't already have and use a DropBox account, or some other similar online "cloud" based backup of your school documents, you should start doing so immediately. By keeping all of your important documents in the Dropbox folder on your computer, you have instant access to them from any other computer (or iPad), should you be w/o your computer while in for repairs (or if, God forbid, it is stolen). It's free for 2 GB of online storage, which is more than enough for a few years worth of Word documents, etc. (If you get other people to sign up via your email "invitation", then Dropbox gives you even more free storage space.) Every time you close a document, it is updated on the Dropbox servers (encrypted), if it is in the Dropbox folder (assuming you give it a few seconds to update before turning off your computer). Do a google search of "Cloud based storage comparisons" to compare the amount of free space each of the competing services give you.

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

How can I burn a DVD from iMovie from my Mac book pro

Since the new mac book pro does not have a DVD drive and does not come with iDVD, I can't figure out how to burn DVD's from iMovie.
I have the external drive and was under the impression that it would be able to burn DVD as well as play them.
Any help is greatly needed. I have many movies I made in iMovie and need to burn to DVD for players.
Thank you

I have an '09 15" mac book pro running os x mavericks and I'm having trouble burning a dvd.

I have an '09 15" mac book pro running os x mavericks and I'm having trouble burning a dvd. In iMovie, I sent my movie to file and then to iDVD to burn a copy. It was saved in Documents. When I went to iDVD, the thumbnail image of the movie to be burned was faded and inoperable. What's going on now?

Did you export the movie out of iMovie as 480p? Next just drag the movie from the Documents folder into the iDVD menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Lastly 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.

I have an '09 mac book pro with an iDVD 7.1.2 (1158) and I'm having trouble DVD burning.

I have an '09 mac book pro with an iDVD 7.1.2 (1158) and I'm having trouble DVD burning. I attempted to burn a DVD but the following error message appeared - 'Burning preparation error. Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets. iDVD needs 6,541 GB of disk space to encode the remaining assets, but only 2,179 GB is available at "Macintosh HD". I've moved several items over to an external hard drive but this error message remains. How do I save this movie to the preferred external hard drive?

You can move the iDVD project file to the EHD but you still need plenty of free space on your boot drive for encoding.
It's strongly recommended that a minimum of 20-25 GB of free space be maintained on the boot drive. Otherwise you'll run into what you're experiencing and increased encoding times.

Can anyone suggest a reliable dvd burning app for a mac book pro without the idvd app

I recently purchased a Mac Book Pro and find that it has,nt a facility to burn home movies fro imovie. After contacting apple they tell me to purchase a third party dvd burning app, After a little research on the app,s available from the app store the reviews are not good. Has anyone found a reliable app that will do the job,.

Toast is exellent but is no substitute for iDVD - but then nothing really is.

IMAC DVD Player does not recognizing dvd movie . I have an IMAC (10.7.4) using DVDPlayer (vers. 5500.26.11) and it will not recognize/play a dvd movie...it thinks it is a blank dvd. The IMAC will play rented dvd movies. The dvd movie plays fine on my Mac Book Pro (10.6.8) on the Pro's DVDPlayer (vers.5.4) abd in my external Sony DVD Player The dvd move was made/burned on a PC. Why will a dvd movie play on my Macbook Pro and not my IMAC?

Hello:
This is not an area I have much experience in......I rarely insert DVDs and I have never had a similar problem.
When the DVD is in the drive (and DVD players is open) click on File>get disk info.

HT1338 Is there an application or software I can use in my Mac Book Pro as a journal?

I just want to know if there is a free application or software to use as a jourmal in my mac book pro, I want to be able to record a journal and keep updating it daily.

Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, DVD Creator, Wondershare, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie.
