Burning or Converting AVI's to burn in DVDSP

Does anyone know a good way to convert AVI files to a format that will work in DVD studio pro? I've seen some programs you can purchase, but I'm not trying buy anything.

What about creating a disk image in Disk Utility and burning from there? Do you think that would work?
Disk Utililty isn't going to help you author a DVD. You need Compressor to convert the video and then DVD SP to author the DVD.

    QuickTime Pro or MPEG Streamclip can convert them. Some AVIs require that Perian be installed, while others can't be converted in Mac OS X through any means; AVI is a container, not a format.

  • ITunes - trouble burning Playlist converted to MP3?

    tried burning a playlist, received error that the songs had to be originally MP3 to burn to a CD disk.  Followed instructions on how to convert those songs to MP3, which I did, and when I tried to burn the converted playlist, received that same message.
    anyone able to assist?
    thanks

    Zimmer,
    When you convert tracks with iTunes (or most any other conversion program), it creates new files in the indicated format, but leaves the originals in place.
    In your case, you have to go into the playlist, remove the originals, and add in the new MP3s.  They you will be able to burn an MP3 CD.

  • Whether / when to convert to PCM audio burning to Blu Ray discs

    I have been exporting FCP Sony HDV sequences as QT self-contained mov files into Toast 10.0.2 and burning via a Lacie BD external burner onto BD-R discs. They look and sound fantastic. But was wondering, I have stayed with the Dolby stereo audio tracks for the process and let the BD player do the down sampling to PCM audio for the HDMI output to my LCD monitor.
    Is there any advantage to my setting the encode to burn PCM audio tracks on the BD-R discs? Will this take longer? (already 25 to 30 hours encoding and burning a 90 minute QT mov file.)

    I think you have it backward.
    PCM tracks are uncompressed. You're compressing to AC3, and your DVD player is playing AC3.
    PCM tracks will leave less bandwidth available for the video.
    If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

  • Converting AVI to DvD

    Please could someone tell how do you convert AVI so I can play it on my DvD player? I don't have DvD studio pro.

    Use 'Toast' to burn your DVD. Choose 'Video' at the top of the window. Choose 'DVD-Video' at the left of the window. Drag your avi file into the panel. 'Toast' does all kinds of cool things.

    Hi
    My first two thoughts
    • Shared to Media Browser - BUT as Large or HD - try Medium !
    • audio from iTunes - use to go silent
    - in iTunes
    - Create a new PlayList with needed audio
    - BURN this as a standard Audio-CD (.aiff) - NOT .mp3
    - use the files on this CD in Your Movie project - I ALWAYS DO - and only use .aiff ever - never .mp3'
    My notes on this:
    No audio on DVD disc.
    Most common origin. 
    1. Imported audio from iTunes.
    • In iTunes copy out as an Audio-CD .aiff (Same as played on standard Stereo CD - no .mp3)
    • Use this in Your movie project
    2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
    Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
    (iM’08 & 09)
    3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
    large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provoking it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
    Minuscular - - 176x144
    Mobile - - - - - 480x360
    Medium - - - - 640x480
    Large - - - - - - 720x540    960x540
    HD - - - - - - - - 1280x720
    4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
    • Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
    5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
    Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In

    Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
    Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
    That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies — except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format — that I have noticed.
    7. GarageBand fix.
    In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
    (if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
    Before burning the DVD.
    • Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
    • Double click on the .img file
    • Test it with Apple DVD-player
    If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
    Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
    • In iDVD 08 - or - 09
    • Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
    • OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

  • I got an error message while burning a cd in itunes - "The attempt to burn a disc failed.  The burn failed because of a medium write error.  What is that and how can i fix it?t

    I got an error message while burning a CD in iTunes - "the attempt to burn a disc failed.  The burn failed because of a medium write error."  What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    The disk you are using probably has a defect, not uncommon on consumer grade disks. Try another disk or better yet another disk from a different manufacturer or at least a different batch.

  • How can I get Itunes 7 to burn to my external La Cie burner, and not my internal Pioneer burner, which is behaving unreliably?

    Is there a way to reset the default CD burner? I have an internal pioneer burner the DVR105, and an external firewire La Cie burner. The La Cie burner is much newer  and will burn properly. However, itunes 7 is trying to burn to the internal DVR105 only, and it keeps giving me errors.
    How can I get Itunes to burn to the healthy la Cie? I know my Toast software recognizes it...I have burned DVDs to the La Cie many times before  in Toast. Itunes offers me no option to select which burner to use, unlike Toast. My OS is Panther.
    thx
    c-post

    Sorry, Itunes is not giving me that dialog. Lemme tell you, it did give me a related dialog earlier today when my La Cie was not connected. Apparently it defaulted back to the Pioneer at that time. I have since reconnected the La Cie, and the system is seeing it, however Itunes won't offer me the option to burn to the La Cie. It just burns to the Pioneer, then gives me an error saying it can't burn the CD.

    On an older Mac I got this message while trying to burn a CD for the car: "The attempt to burn a disc failed.  The burn failed because of a medium write error."  What does this mean?  And how do I work around it?

    I had been getting this all morning and checked other messages from the community. THe one which worked was trying a different brand of disc.
    I had been using Verbatim which had copied the music fine off the Real Player on my PC at school, but wouldn't work with I Tunes. Tried a Staples and an Office Depot CD-R , both of which did the job.

  • I have a CD burner yet I cannot burn or copy on CD from my collection. When I click on File - burn to CD I get:"To burn to CD you require a CD writer -  Please advise how to burn a collection on a CD Thank you Diane

    Please advise how to burn a collection on a CD - When I click on File then burn to CD - I get:To burn CD you require a CD writer  yet I have one -  which I have used many times with another package.  Also where are the pictures that I have put into a collection stored?  I cannot find them.  I can display them so they have to be stored somewhere in a file or folder etc...I am retired and very new at using this Adobe photoshop edition 3.2  Thank you for your help I am desperate.

    Once the tracks are in your library, you can right-click and use the command Get Album Artwork.  This command will attempt to match your track(s) to the item in the iTunes Store, and get the cover art.
    If that command does not succeed, you will need a copy of the art in .JPG format, either by scanning your CD cover, or by getting it from the web.  Once you have the art, right-click the track, choose Get Info, go the Artwork tab and paste it in.

  • Final cut pro X is supposed to accept AVI. Yet the AVI files my client gave me don't work. I know there are softwares that can convert AVI to APPLE PRORES, but does that affect the quality of the media ?

    Final cut pro X is supposed to accept AVI. However the AVI files my client gave me cannot be imported in my Final cut pro X. I know there are softwares that can convert AVI to APPLE PRO RES, but does that alter the quality of the media ?

    There are apps that will give you tech specs on files. I think Media Info is one. Most likely it's in done delivery codec like DiVX. AVI is a piece of **** as a container anyway and should have been completely abandoned years ago.
