Burning playlists with ogg files

For some reason, when I try to burn ogg files in my iTunes library (using xiph plugin they play fine from iTunes) the burning process simply skips them. I looked at the info of one of the files and it seems that iTunes thinks that ogg files are quicktime movies.
Seems like a bug to me. Is there a way to fix this other than re-converting the ogg files to another format?

If you wish to use iTunes, then convert your OGG files to one of the formats that iTunes supports. Use the converted ones for iTunes and save the OGGs for future players that can handle them.
Ok dude. So you know, there are a number of reasons why I phrased my original question thusly, emphasis added:

I had already rejected that option before you kindly suggested it. To reiterate:
*ogg files play in iTunes after installing xiph;
*I am financially invested in my iTunes library, which I use to play break music at gigs -- it's excellent for this purpose;
*I think ogg files are quantitatively better than the other alternative codecs;
*it would be silly to re-encode those files just so I can make my girlfriend a mix-cd -- and I don't want duplicate songs in my library since I might accidentally play the second-generation file at a gig. Some of us have professional standards, you know
Indeed I do hope that Apple reads these forums and especially bug reports. They would be wise to keep people like me happy, since I'm responsible for more than $5000 worth of business for them over the last five years or so.
Again, though, I do think this is a pretty minor issue. It would just be nice if Apple could write a quick email to the guys at xiph pointing them in the right direction.

  • Archive a playlist with media files and the song settings

    I want to remove a body of songs from out of my library (Holiday and Christmas -- surprise, huh?) and yet have it ready to reimport next November, complete with song settings -- for example, I go through and amend the play volumes rather than using Sound Check.
    If I delete the songs from my main library, but keep files, I realize I still have them, but do I have to go back into my folders next year and find all the songs again? ... by Artist, I guess, since that's how the folders are organized.
    One year I burned the Holiday playlist with the media files as a data CD, and that worked okay, but didn't retain the individual volume adjustments I'd made.
    Thanks

    Are you trying to add songs to a smart playlist? If so that would explain the behaviour. To add songs to a smart playlist you need to adjust the rules or modify the tag so that it meets existing criteria.

  • Issues with burning playlists with itunes 11.1.3

    When I try to burn a playlist to a disc, itunes freezes. I am using an imac running on Mavericks with two user accounts. When I try to burn a playlist with the other user account it just works. So seems to be an user specific issue. Any suggestions?
    Rgds, Bernard

    You're welcome
    If you're happy with iTunes 11 then I'd probably stay with that.  The last two versions of iTunes 12 (12.1.0 and 12.1.1) seem to suffer from multiple issues on 64-bit Windows systems (not specific to Windows 7), and even though most of these are resolvable I'm not sure its worth the effort to do so if your earlier version is working for you.  I would wait for 12.2 (or whatever the next major release is) and even then check back here to see what reports there are of full resolutions to the issues in 12.1.
    Having said that, I'm running 12.1.1 without problems on four systems (three in daily use) - two Win 7 / 64-bit, one Win 7 / 32-bit, and one Win 8/1 / 64-bit.

  • Burning Playlists with Sub-Folders

    I have a playlist and then about 16 sub-playlists under it. I wanted to burn the whole playlist to a DVD disk as a data CD. This is primarily for my car. For example, the USB feature allows me to put music in folders and I can navigate through the artists with one button instead of pressing the button ten times to get to the next artist(s). It lets me burn the individual sub-playlists, but when I try to burn the entire playlist, the "burn playlist to disc" button disappears entirely. I was wondering if there was a way to burn the WHOLE playlist with the subfolders on iTunes, or if I have to stick with just burning the individual sub-playlists.

    Sort the playlist by Album or Artist then burn it.

  • Disk Utility burn error with dmg file

    I'm using a Pioneer DVR 106D to burn a dmg file on to a blank DVD. I've done it many times before with the disk utility.
    But now I'm getting this message when I try to burn the dmg or make a new image off the old DVD master:
    "Device drained its buffer without burn underrun protection"
    Can anyone please tell me how I can fix this problem?
    Thanks
    OS 10.3.9

    I have encountered the same problem. I have a Mac Book Pro from 2007, and it has gone through 3 DVD writers so far, all of which have ruined DVD+R DL disks. I have occasionally been able to burn one, but usually during verify, I get this error message:
    Communication to the disk drive failed: 0x8002022
    And disk utility fails with a "Invalid B-tree node size" error
    Oddly, when I try to burn a disk near capacity (6.5Gb or more) it is more likely to fail than if I burn a smaller disk.
    I've been using Memorex DVD+R DL disks, but I have used other brands in the past but they have failed, too. Out of about 50 disks so far, I have had success with about 5.

  • QuickTime using PlayList with OMF file

    I have a OMF video file.  It is composed of many individual video clips combined together as a OMF video file.   I could get a playlist from our video creater that has the information of each of the video files (like the timestamp information where the start and end of a video file).   I am sure I am using the correct terminology, but I think the idea is there.
    I will be given a playlist for a different filtering of the OMF video file.   I want the ability to tell the video player which video clip to show.
    I believe Quicktime is able to view OMF files, but I don't know if it can handle playlist, etc.
    The OMF video file will be download to the iPad and I was planing on using power point to show a video for each of the slides.   Each of the slide is part of the playlist that I want to show.   So for Slide #1, I will program in the power point the controls to start the iPad player and instruct which playlist to play.
    I appreciate any help you can offer.
    Thanks,

    QuickTime version 10.3 found in Mavericks drops support for dozens of legacy formats and codecs.
    The same files will work in the free version of QuickTime Player 7 without the need of a Pro upgrade.
    If your registration shows as "invalid" then 99% of the time the name and number fields did not exactly match that found in the email.

  • Burning DVD with AVI files???

    I am strugling to do this - all I want to do is back-up an avi file to dvd, but when I use the mac proprietory burner, I get an error message saying that the codec is missing....
    Please help someone!!

    Install Perian and convert the AVI to a format usable in the burning application. Alternatively, use the Finder to burn the file as data; if you're trying to make a backup and not a video DVD, this is the best option.

  • Idvd can't burn .mov with error message

    Hi guys,
    I just finished a 57 min. project with Final Cut Express4 containing 8 sequences. I export them separately.  I burned them with idvd : File>Export>Quick Time Movie (self contained uncheck), I include Audio & Video as usual and save them in the Movie Folder as .mov; everything goes fine and I can watch them both in computers and TVs. But when I export the entire project with chapter markers (exactly the same way I did for the above), the result is different, and the idvd refuse to burn it, an error message says ”unsupported file type: broken reference movie”.   Those exported in separate sequences are shown as .mov with a picture icon in my Movie Folder while the other 2 exported with chapter markers are also shown with .mov but with a QuickTime Movie icon.  Although these with Quick Time Movie icon are not accepted by the idvd, I still can burn them through the dvdproj file, but the product can be played with computers only.
    I know I must have done something wrong but I don’t know what it’s.  Some one is kind enough to help please.
    Thank you.

    First of all, thank you folks for the responds.  I check back as suggested and found the following: -
    Hi Al
    All the Chapters Markers are more than 2 seconds apart and are more than 2 seconds from start points; all sequences are well butted without any gap in between.  However there are markers marked a few frames after the sequences started, which means the previous sequence ended a few frames before the Chapter Markers.  If this is overlap, what should I do from here?  Please walk me through.  Thank you again.  puisum
    Hi MartinR
    I am sure you read my response to Alchroma. You both having valuable points.  Now, this is a very good question “if I nest the sequences”. To be honest with you, I am not 100% sure what I did (because this project have been sitting in my computer for 9 months) I but I think I start the entire project with only one sequence at the beginning and I use copy & paste to make the 8 sequences after I put in the chapter makers.  At this point, I have found some problems on the Chapter Markers and I am sure Alchroma doesn’t mind to walk me through then I will take it from there.  Please don’t give up on me yet.  Thank you in anticipation.  puisum

  • ITunes 11 - Burning Playlist to Audio CD fails when including CD Text

    I just started running into an issue where I am unable to burn an Audio CD and include CD text. 
    I tried everything including different burn speeds and cannot get it to work.  I get the error:
    The attempt to burn a disc failed.  An unknown error occured (4000).
    Luckily nothing is ever written to the CD, so I am not making coasters.
    For kicks to make sure iTunes CD burning was working for anything, I selected Data CD instead of an Audio CD, and the Data CD succesfully burned.
    Then I attempted to burn the Playlist and unchecked "Include CD Text", and the CD was successfully created.
    It has been a while and that means it was with a prior version of iTunes, but I have successfully burned playlists with CD Text.  How come this is not working in iTunes 11.0.0.163?
    Anyone have any recommendations how to fix the CD Text Issue?

  • ITunes 9 no longer supports iPod to sync playlists made with podcast files

    With the last iTunes upgrade my iPod can't recognize those playlists I had previously created with podcasts files downloaded using iTunes. They just have disappeared from the list in the section Playlists of my old iPod 5G. The same occurs with a new iPod Touch 3G, thus it seems to be related with some change in my computer's software rather than the iPod.
    With this last v.9 upgrade all my old podcasts had also disappeared from the section Podcasts but I eventually I could find the cause and fixed it: By default iTunes 9 is configured so that those podcasts which have been totally or partially listened are not synchronize. This can be easily modified opening the Podcasts tab in the iTunes device settings and change the options in 'Sync Podcasts'.
    I'd really appreciate I could transfer again my podcast playlists to my iPod. I find rather disappointing to lose the iPod feature I've probably being used most frequently during the last 3 years. It'd thank anyone who could tell me some way to go around this constriction. Otherwise I hope this feature to be supported by iTunes in future upgrades.

    I noticed that the same topic was posted in September as an iPhone issue. The discussion also centered around smart playlists. Although a few workarounds were posted, mostly involving changing the podcast genre to "Music" from "Podcast", I have not been able to sync these playlists.
    I want to simply create a playlist with podcasts and sync these playlists to my ipod Touch. This is handy, if not essential, for safe enjoyment of my podcasts while driving.
    Is Apple considering a fix for this ?! Or is there a workaround ?

    I'm having the same issue, i restored my phone to Factory settings, even tried restoring it to my backup, half of my music bought from itunes won't play on my iphone and i'm super annoyed, this only happened once i updated to ios 7.2 so i assume its another glitch to go with my imessages not sending, getting sick of this.

    my project needs to be saved as a Video_TS/Audio_TS file for burning purposes with a company that does bulk burring. how do i go by this?

    VIDEO_TS (and an empty audio_ts) folders are part of a standardised DVD structure.  So, what you need a DVD-authoring tool.  FCPX offers to create a very simple DVD, one movie, two designs (black or white), no menu, done.  Older Macs came pre-installed with iLife/iDVD  … export your project as a 'Master', drag into iDVD, select any design template ...   Apple axed 'disk creation' about 7 years ago ... the AppStore is crowded with other, convenient, consumer, template based  tools. Professional structured DVDs are only optional with obsolete DVDSP (part of FC-suite) or Adobe Encore .....

    i have a 2008 imac with snow leopard.  i installed update 10.9.3 not realizing it's best for Maverick's users.  Now my Itunes 11.2.2 won't burn playlists to CD.   Anyone else with this problem?  CAn I uninstall the 10.9.3 update?  Also my HP scannerwill not save the displayed scanned document since this update!  it just saves gray.

    If you have your old system backed up then erase the drive and restore your backup. If you don't have a backup then backup your entire Home folder. Erase the drive and install Snow Leopard after which you can restore your Home folder from the backup.
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    Or you can:
    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
         computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
         screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).
