Burning & playing music burned on dvd data disc

after i burn a regular cdr in audio mode and i play the newly burned disc, i can change the format of the screen/playback by editing/amending the screen and right clicking on "copy play order" and it saves the changed settings each time i insert that cdr.....but.....when i do the same thing and copy wave music files to a dvd in data mode, when i insert the dvd after it's burnt, itunes will let me change the screen format (ie; name, song, year, album, rating, beats per minute) but when i right click on the inserted dvd, it doesn't give me the option to "copy play order" so i can save it to the disc.......any way around this??

What I do not love is the Smartdrive being unable to correctly play music CDs (on this machine). I consistently get noise during the songs. I've tried many CDs, all the same.
why not rip the CD's (to _*Apple Lossless*_, for example), then add the files to iTunes and play them through iTunes ?

  • Select multiple playlists for burning to DVD Data disc?

    Hi, i need to burn about 5 playlists to a DVD Data Disc for temp backup, iTunes only is allowing me to select one playlist at a time. Of corse one play list is about 300 meg and this is totally wasteful of a DVD.
    Anyone know how to burn multiple playlists to a single disc? maybe some other app can read iTunes's playlists and provide burning?
    I want each playlist to create a self titled folder on disc with the tunes in each.
    Thanks

    Hi man, good idea.
    Unfortunately, in iTunes, the "Burn Data Disc" button disappears when the folder is selected, in addition to the burn menu item. The burn button reappears when a single playlist inside the folder is selected, unfortunately again, more than one playlist cannot be selected.
    It does appear iTunes can burn only 1 single playlist to a disc or the entire library and nothing in between which is very problematic for me right now.
    Sadly the "Back Up to Disc" option in the File menu provides the following options :
    "Back Up entire iTunes library and playlist"
    "Back Up only iTunes Store purchases"
    This appears also to be useless.
    Toast 8 won't import exported iTunes XML playlists either and just burn the tracks in each playlist to a folder on the disk.
    Suppose we need "iTunes Pro" to do something simple as I require :-((

  • Burning DVD data discs?

    When I insert a blank CD-R in my Superdrive(tm), the blank disk appears on my desktop, making it easy to drag and drop files to it to be burned.
    Blank DVD+R discs don't show up on my desktop, however. Is that by design? I'm guessing I could still burn a DVD data disc by using a burn folder, correct? Is there a better way?
    I know the disks I'm using are compatible with the Superdrive because I've successfully burned DVD movies to those disks using iDVD.
    Thanks.

    It is possible that when you insert a blank DVD, it is set to open up in a specific application (maybe iDVD). Open up system preferences, click on "CD & DVDs" and make sure that the category "When you insert a blank DVD", the drop down menu is on "Ask what to do" so that you have the option of opening it in the finder.

  • DVD data disc song order

    Is it possible to burn a DVD MP3 disc in itunes. Every time I select MP3 disc and insert a DVD it switches to data disc. I then end up with a disc of seemingly randomly organised tracks which is pretty useless when trying to play in my dvd player as I cant browse by album.

    If the footage was shot in NTSC and they want PAL, you'll need to convert. JES Deinterlacer is an excellent (and free) tool for that. Just export from iMovie, then convert to DV PAL.
    If you have Toast, make sure you select "DATA DISC" and "MAC & PC", then just drag the video files into the window. Remember that DV PAL is roughly 13 GB/h, so you can fit about 15 min max onto an SL DVD.

  • IMac 20 will not read DVD data disc

    Today I tried to copy a DVD data disc and the iMac opened the finder Cue window to ask if I want to open the untitled CD. It was a DVD with 3+ GB of data. Funny, but the same disc opens on the PowerBook G4 17" just fine... has anyone else have this problem and have found a fix?
    Thanks
    Greg

    If the drive can read a movie DVD then the problem must be that the OS DVD is either dirty or badly scratched. Look at the shiny side. If it has finger prints clean it with a lint free cloth. If it has scratches you can call Apple for a replacement disc for a nominal charge.

  • Dvd burn only creates data disc

    recently I succesfully created an SD DVD which I first built and then formatted to a DVD. this disc played perfectly in my dvd player.
    after this success I went ahead and created a new DVD but this time with HD footage (I changed the settings to HD in the preferences before starting the new project), and after following all of the same steps after formatting the dvd it is only read as a data disc in my dvd player.
    studio pro shows "formatting succesfull" when finished in all cases
    can anyone fill me in?
    (as a side note.. when first creating the SD dvd, simply pressing the burn button also only created a data disc. it wasn't until I first built it and then formatted it that the dvd would play properly in my player)
    thanks

    Welcome to the boards
    HD Discs will not play on regular SD players so when you changed to HD in the preferences it probably caused the issue
    HD footage needs to be converted to SD m2v.
    You must build your project before formatting the project, so if you formatted without a proper build somehow that could also cause a problem.

  • MSI DR-8A burns horrible DVD+R disc!!!

    Help,
    Does anyone experience the same problem as I do?
    My MSI DR-8A burns DVD+R of horrible quality. Note that I am using high quality media like PRODISC03 and RICOHJPN02, but whenever I run Nero Disc Quality scan with my BenQ 1620, I get a load of errors and eventually the scanning stops due to some "fatal" unreadable error!
    And yes, I have configured all my hardware correctly... Was using firmware 130D. Updated to 160D and no difference too!

    I'm using the DR8-A2 and have experienced sporadic problems when burning audio-CDs (on CD-R media, not DVD) using Nero6. Haven't done any analysis of the discs or anything, but sometime when playing nero-burned audio-CDs in my car CD player, I get increadible white-noise on top of the music usually from track 10 onwards. If I then burn the exact same compilation (from MP3 files) using the Roxio Easy CD creator 5 software the problems are gone. I know it may sound kinda silly, but it's almost like the data hasn't been burned properly to the disc when using Nero.  And yes, the burn speed has been the same in both Nero and ECDC. Also, this has happened on several different brands of CD-R media.

  • How do I burn a DVD R disc with Windows Movie Maker?  It indicates disc error on my DVD player.  Someone thought it had something to do with Itunes?  I reloaded Itunes 1 month ago and had no problem creating this disc then.  Help

    I have made several DVD+R discs in the past using Windows Live Movie Maker sucessfully.  I made one about one month ago for my son's b-day.  I am using the same discs as I had then.  When I tried to burn the disc, it indicates that it is burning, however, when I insert it into the DVD player at home on our TV (like I"ve always done), it indicates disc error.  Someone mentioned that the burner goes out every now and then when Itunes is uploaded?  When I burn the disc, I can pull it up on my home and work computers, so I know that it is there.

    Yes, you can distribute a burned disk of the project to those who can create duplicate disks.  Or create a disk image of the iDVD project using the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option.
    Then you can distribute the disk image to those who will burn the disks.  For PCs you'll have to convert the .dmg file to a .iso file so they can burn it.  This website describer how: Mac Help - Convert and Burn Mac .dmg or .img to .iso Windows PC-Compatible Disk Image
    Suggest to them to 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.
    It would be prudent to rest your optical drive for about 30 minutes after burning 3 disks in a row. That will give the laser time to cool down before you start another batch.

  • Trouble burning Sony dvd-r discs

    I am not able to burn video to Sony brand DVD-r discs and I am able to burn to memorex discs of same type, if I slow down the burn rate from 8x to 3x.  Any way I can use the Sony Discs?  Thanks.

    Hi! Sense You have not posted your model number found on the bottom of your laptop; there's no way for us to know what OS you have or any thing else. How many different Sony DVD's have you tried to burn video?? If you have W7, there are trouble shooting features in the Action Center, which can be accessed from search.

  • DVD Data discs music backup- Best way to reinstall?

    I'm trying to recover from an external drive holding over 1TB of my music files go down. I have 95 percent of the files copied to another drive, which is the good news.
    I have several hundred other cd's to get back into the library. I didn't get to backing up many, so I'll have to re-rip, Grrrrr.... I have many cd's backed up on Data DVD (Apple Lossless files). My question is what is the easiest way to get these DVD Data cd's back into the library?
    I know I may have to re-do the artwork and I don't use ratings etc. I just need to know if I can drag and drop the Data DVD's into my new library folder (on another ext. drive). Will Itunes auto magically match them to the album etc.? Or do I have to import album by album and go through it line by line. Itunes is back up and running but without the missing five percent of my music.
    Maybe I should start another thread but I didn't use the newer method of the DVD restore/backup disc. I was aware of it but I didn't understand how to use it in my situation. I had over 1tb that I had copied to a backup drive. I would also make Data DVD's over the years, along the way as another backup. To make the backup/restore discs it doesn't seem to let you pick the files to put on it. You can only do the entire collection or items added or changed since last backup. My IMAC doesn't know what I did for my last backup. I dragged and dropped from one hard drive to another without using Time Machine etc.
    Any advice/help much appreciated.

    Do these files still exist in the iTunes library or did you have to re-create that too?
    If they do exist there then you can copy the files to the new location but will then have to re-link the files one by one from the library to the new location (so the ! disappears).
    If they are not in the library, or you don't mind losing some information such as playlist association, rathings, and playcount, you can copy them to the drive, then drag the files to the iTunes library and basically re-add them as new tracks. You may then have to use scripts such as available on [Dougscripts|http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scriptcount.php?sortBy=Name& op=y] to clear your library of duplicates which are hte old unlinked file references.

  • Can Leopard burn blu-ray data disc?

    Leopard defines types for Blu-ray discs in the header for the disc recording service.
    Can Leopard burn a blu-ray data disc?

    Since no Mac ships with Blu-Ray drives built-in, there's no automatic support for Blu-Ray.
    However, there are several third-party applications that support burning Blu-Ray disks, including Toast.
    Many after-market Blu-Ray vendors ship a copy of Toast with their burners (after all, what's the use of the burner if you can't write data to it? )

  • Help - can't burn DL DVD+R discs

    I just purchased a spindle of Memorex Dual Layer DVD+R discs to backup some of my project folders that are too large for single layer DVDs.However, I am getting the following error message at the start of every time I try to burn a disc.
    "The disc can’t be burned because because communication between the computer and the disc drive failed (error code 0x80020022)."
    I've been reading that others are also having a problem with burning DL-DVDs. Is this a drive problem or a media problem?
    After the first 2 tries, I checked the "About this Mac" and saw that under "Disc Burning" it said I have a MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-868 drive and that for both CD write and DVD write it says -R -RW. Does that mean it doesn't support +R discs or DL discs.
    I went back to the tech spec page for the MacBook Pro that I have (I bought it 3-1/2 months ago, so it's still new and should have the same specs listed, and there it states the specs as "Maximum write: 8x DVD-R, DVD+R; 4x DVD-R DL (double layer), DVD+R DL (double layer), DVD-RW, DVD+RW; 24x CD-R; 10x CD-RW"
    So what is the issue here, and is there a fix for this?

    Hi eric,
    Your drive, as the specs say, should be able to burn +R discs.
    As Bram has suggested , when only -R discs appear under system profiler this can usually be rectified by simply resetting the PRAM, and sometimes simply by restarting normally, though on rare occasions some level of OS re-installation can also be required.
    Those Memorex discs are a bit of a worry , too, though. Generally you are better off sticking with Verbatim, Maxell or TDK with Apple drives. Memorex have a somewhat unfortunate reputation for compatibility problems, I'm afraid, though it depends which actual third party manufacturer has supplied them with your particular batch to some extent.
    But you will need to sort out the "-R only" problem first regardless. Once you have done this you may find that your particular batch of Memorex are fine. I'd be very wary about buying them for your Mac in future , though.
    Cheers
    Rod

  • Mounting a dvd data disc

    it works fine using a live cd, but not in arch
    im using a custom kernel and i dont think anything was missed in terms of support
    i can only test this on one box since it has my dvd rom and dvd burner on it
    the disc is fine and can be read ok by more than one machine, just not my arch box where I actually want it to work.
    I searched the forums and have already asked in the channel but either no one has a dvd burner or has not tried this.
    any ideas would be appreciated
    btw, it is just mp3's on the data disc

    I have a DVD+R writer, and have used arch to burn MP3 dvds, and it reads fine. This is my fstab.

  • Burning to DVD-R disc

    How do we know if the entire project will be fit to one DVD (4GB)? There is no indicator as to how much the project can hold if burning to a single DVD.

    Forget the size of the project, it is the length that counts.
    iDVD will burn any movie of up to 120 minutes (including titles, transitions etc, for which allow 15 minutes) to a single DVD.
    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
