Burning photos onto a dvd

I am trying to burn photos onto a DVD and I always get an error that I need to remove the number of photos selected becayse the file is too big. Is there anyway to see how much space I have as I am adding images? thanks

I find the "burn folder" very useful. While in the fFinder, click the file menu:
and select "New Burn Folder." Like Klaus says, it gives you a size as you populate it. I like these because I can have a folder ready to burn when someone asks for a CD or DVD of images, or when I need to make multiple copies.
A burn folder is easy to spot because it gets a different icon (this is from OS 10.6.8):
and you can rename it anyway your like (ex., "2012 Family Reunion")

Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users?

Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users?

You can burn a plain CD/DVD by just dragging the photos there; but, that may or may not be playable by everyone. To be sure that the result would be playable in any computer or CD/DVD player, it would be better to use either one of the apps already on your system - such as iPhoto. I don't use that myself - I use other third party software - but take a look at iPhoto help. And, you could make it more interesting by creating a slideshow - also in iPhoto, or iMovie. To give it the final cool touch, bring it into iDVD to give it a polished look if you'd like. You can burn it then from any of the above.
If you happen to have Toast (an excellent burning app), you could use that as well (that is my preferred way to work). In Toast, you have multiple choices: burn a data CD/DVD for Mac only, for Mac & PC, etc, burn a picture CD, video DVD, etc, etc.

HT201788 How do I burn photos onto a DVD from iPhoto?

I am trying to burn photos/folders from iPhoto onto a DVD/CD but when disc utility opens I am unable to burn any of the items or folders onto the disc. I thought that my optical drive was perhaps malfunctioning so I purchased a SuperDrive. However, I am running into the same problem. The folders or pictures within, that I want to burn remain inactive. How can I burn these pictures onto DVD/CD?

What kind of DVD disk do you want to create? A data disk that just contains the image files or a video DVD disc that can be played on a DVD player on a TV set. They are two entirely different types of disks and require different workflows.
If you're running Yosemite then you have iPhoto 9.6 or 9.6.1.
For a data disk:
1 - select the photos to be burned to disk and export to a folder on the Desktop File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu. Set the Kind = what you want, the original file or the current, edited version.
2 - insert a blank DVD in the optical drive.
3 - drag the folder of photos onto the DVD disk's icon.
3 - drag the DVD disk icon to the Trash Bin in the Dock which turns into the Burn function:
For a video DVD disk:
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality 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.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

I am trying to burn photos onto a dvd and cd but it keeps saying disc burn error. what do i do? i have already went through 5 cps and 1 dvd.

I have been trying to get these pictures off of my computer so i want to burn them but everytime i try it says disc error. i have tried several different cds. it will say finishing burn but then eject it and says burn disc error.... please help

How are you burning the photos to the disc? Via the Share ➙ Burn menu or buy exporting the photos to a folder on the Desktop and then burning that folder to disc?
The former method creates a mini library on the disk that can only be read and use by a Mac with iPhoto. The latter method saves just the photos to disc which can be used by any computer.
What system and iPhoto version are you using? How much free space do you have on your MacBook Pro?
If you're using the Share ➙ Burn method can you burn a disc from the Finder?
Describe in detail what you're trying so we have a better understanding and can better offer a solution.

I'm trying to burn photos onto a CD from Finder, but my iMac won't recognize either a CD-R or a DVD-R.

I'm trying to burn photos onto a CD from Finder, but my iMac won't recognize either a CD-R or a DVD-R. Any clues? Nothing shows up in Finder as far as a Device, and I have a message telling me to "Insert a blank disc to begin" and that I will need a disc with at least "47.6 MB"--it's only 18 photos, and I need to burn them for a parent of a student (I'm a teacher). I have tried several different discs, so it's not the actual CD or DVD.

Create a new folder. Place the photos in that.
From the Finder File menu choose New Burn Folder. That will appear on your desktop. Place the folder of photos you created into that.
Now open Disk Utility and you will see that Burn Folder listed. Choose Burn from the menu.

How do you burn pictures onto a dvd?

Hello. I need some help. I been working on trying to burn pictures onto a dvd but still have the pictures in order from at least oldest to newest. I know how to burn pictures I just don't know how to keep them in order still. I have over 7000 pictures on iphoto (i kept dreading saving them lol) and I need to get them to a dvd. I was thinking on making different albums then saving them that way but that's such a hassle. I would rather have just the pictures. Any advice would really much be appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple user to user discussion forums
Files is Files
THe order they are displayed in is determined by the sort order specified in the file viewer you are using and is totally independent of how they are recorded on the DVD
For example if you are using the finder you can go to the view menu ==> show options and select from a number of sort options (they depend on the view you have) which included date created and date modified -- note that a file viewer is only looking at file dates - it has no knowledge of photo dates which are recorded in the EXIF data within the photo

I am unable to download photos onto a dvd from my iphoto. Any ideas?

Since I downloaded Lion OS I cannot burn photos to a DVD anymore. Either from my Superdrive or to a peripheral that has worked before.
Any help is appreciated.

I thought now that you could directly edit iCloud docs would mean the same as editing on an iDevice.
Apple really needs to improve on this...

I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported and edited them in iMovie and then burned them onto a DVD using iDVD. I can see the weak jerkiness when panning in both laterally and vertically. I shoot with a camcorder Canon

I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported
and edited them in iMovie and then burned them onto a DVD using iDVD.
I can see the weak jerkiness when panning in both laterally
and vertically.
I shoot with a camcorder Canon Vixia HF10. The camera has been set to deliver HD quality (1920x1080). But I have accidentally filmed with a frame rate of 60 (?).
When I import the films in iMovie I have been asked if I want to change to frame rate 30 (instead of 25). I have chosen 30.
Could it be the setting of a frame rate 60 in my camcorder that causes jerkiness when panning or what else?

Burning videos onto a DVD

I bought the first season of the TV show LOST assuming I could burn it onto a DVD. I have a DVD burner and blank DVD's but I can't figure out how to burn the shows. Does itunes allow that?

Gentlemen, Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
From the Apple Knowledge Base:
Videos purchased from the iTunes Music Store have FairPlay digital rights management embedded in the files and are in a format that can be readily synced to a Fifth Generation iPod. Just like with music you purchase from the iTunes Music Store, you own the videos you purchase. You can authorize up to five computers to play purchased videos, and you can sync the video to as many iPods as you like. iPod can contain purchased content from up to five accounts; iTunes will not allow you to add data from a sixth account to iPod.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301461
What this means in relation to your questions is that you can
b and should
back up the videos you've purchased from iTMS.
One method of doing so is to burn the files to a DVD as a Data disc. But you will only be able to view them on an iPod or an authorized computer.
You cannot burn them to a DVD for playing on your home entertainment set-up, though ... unless that set-up includes an authorized computer. You would not probably want to do so anyways since the videos have a resolution of only 320 x 240 pixels and watching them on a full size screen (or medium size screen for that matter) would not be the optimum viewing experience.

Error code 0x8002006E when trying to burn photos to a dvd disk. Please help.

Im trying to burn photos to a DVD so my friend can view my pictures on their windows computer. There is only 371 pictures for a total of 1.72G of space. It starts to burn them, and then in the middle of the process I get an error code 0x8002006E and it stops, wasting my disk (I assume because the computer no longer recognizes it afterwards). So, I am now down by two DVD disks. What I did was, I made a folder on my desk-top and placed my photos in it from iPhoto '11. I did this because it said that's how to do it if you want your friend to be able to view them on a windows computer. Then, I closed iPhoto and right click on my folder (on my desk-top with the pics in it) and click burn.

What speed are you burning at and what brand/type of DVD disk are you using? Are you able to burn a CD?
It could be a dirty laser in the optical drive. Get a disk cleaning disk, one with dry brushes - no liquids and use it to clean your optical drive. Burn at the slowest speed available, 2X - 4X. Use quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums

Could it be i have too much stuff taking up memory already on my MAC? i really need to export it!
All of the other movies i have exported have worked perfectly but this one just wont export.
I have iMovie 08

This is the error code that I got when I right click on the movie and click burn "movie" to disc:
The disc can't be burned because the communication between the computer and the disc drive failed (error code 0X80020022

I made an imovie project that's over 2 hours so iDVD won't let me burn it onto a DVD. What do I do?

I made an iMovie project that's over 2 hours long so iDVD won't let me burn it onto a DVD. What do I do now?

Would I need to switch the disk in the middle of it burning so it can burn the other side
No, you do not flip over the disk. The dual-layers are both on the same side of the disk. You can't see them, they are just there, and iDVD will do what is necessary if it needs to burn both layers.
You would only flip over a disk if it were a "double-sided" disk. That's an entirely different kind of disk and it has only one layer on each side. Those are much older kinds of disks that were used commercially before the advent of dual-layer disks. I don't know anyone who uses them any more.

Failing to burn photos onto a disc

When I try to burn photos onto a USB SuperDrive it fails. It worked before, but now it says "The burn to the SuperDrive drive failed. The disc drive didn't respond properly and cannot recover or retry." Is there anything I can do?

Hi Old Toad, thanks for the reply. I've been busy the last couple of days and haven't been able to get back onto the forum until now. I'm trying to burn from iPhoto - I'm not sure how to from Finder and can't seem to find a path for that. If that works then that would save me a bit of hassle to be honest. The weird thing is that while trying to burn photos onto a disc (and wasting about 14 of them in the process) I tested it on an iTunes playlist and that worked without a hitch. I'll explore Finder, but if you could give me a few pointers it would be appreciated.
I'm using Mountain Lion on a MacBook Air that is coming up for a year old, which was bought at the same time as the SuperDrive.

I have downloaded a film and want to burn it onto a dvd disc, how do i do this so that it will play in most DVD players?

please advise!
thanks

Buy iDVD.
Yes, there are other programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the substitutes. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD.
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/idvd.html
With iDVD you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.
IDVD is easy to get. It is available on disk as part of iLife 11.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40. (works with all Mac OS 10.5 and newer.)

Burn Photos onto CD

It keeps saying unknown error when I try to burn photos onto a cd. How can I fix this?

Are you using iPhoto to do this or something else?
Are you able to burn CD for other purposes, such as making a music CD in iTunes or a data CD with the Finder?
Are you using CD-Rs or CD-RW disks?
Have you tried a different brand of CDs? Sometimes this will help.
Let us know, we'll keep working with you.
