Burning Purchased Movies onto a DVD

If I purchase and download a movie from the iTunes store, can I burn that movie to a DVD the same way that a burn or back-up my music to a CD? Also, if I put the movie onto a DVD, will it play in a DVD player?

Not exactly, to anyone reading the Terms of Service, it's not all that apparent really. Here's what the Terms say:
"(vi) You shall not be entitled to burn video Products or ring tone Products.
(vii) You shall be entitled to export, burn (if applicable) or copy (if applicable) Products solely for personal, noncommercial use. "
To me, this just tells me that I can't burn video products, but then contradicts itself saying that I CAN burn video products, but only for personal use (in other words, the standard rules of not reselling or distributing videos, as all videos state in the beginning)...
I did read the Terms before making those purchases, and they are not very clear. So with this in mind, I do blame Apple for not stating the terms more clearly...

I burned a movie onto a DVD-R, but can't be played on my macbook, why is that?

I burned a movie onto a DVD-R from my macbook, but can't be played on my macbook, why is that?

What program did you use to burn the DVD? What format is the movie in? What happens when you insert the DVD into the MBP?

Burning a movie onto a DVD+RW ??

How come when I burn a movie on my DVD+RW, it works when I play it through my mac laptop computer, but it doesn't work in my DVD player???
Do these require two different disks or something?

one of my older set top dvd players also has issues with rw (and/+ plus) media. not uncommon. I think it's because some RW's have a lower reflective surface than standard dvd-r (and again this varies by brand /manufacturer). so yes, this can happen.

Burning a movie onto a dvd

I made a 4 minute movie on imovie. I want to burn it onto a dvd so it can be viewed on a dvd player or on another computer. How do I do it?

You need to use an authoring program to burn a DVD disk that can be played on both computers and DVD players. That is what the iLife application iDVD is designed to do. Use it. The basic process is that you open iDVD and create a new project. You will need to select standard or widescreen. Once iDVD opens, go to its Preferences and select PAL or NTSC depending on where you live. In the US, you need to use NTSC. Next choose a theme. Then use the Movies tab to locate your iMovie and drag/drop your iMovie into the main menu of iDVD. You can customize the font type, size and color in your iDVD project. When you have finished editing the project, you can either create a disk image file of it and burn disks from that using Disk Utility, or you can just insert a blank DVD disk and burn it directly.
Be sure to use a good brand of DVD disk such as Verbatim, Maxell, Sony or Taiyo Yuden; not store brands, TDK or Memorex.
Also, select a burn speed of 4x or less.
Have a look at the iDVD tutorial for the version you are using so that you can learn how to use iDVD:

This one is for iDVD 6, but iDVD 8/9 are not that different.

Help! I can't burn my movie onto a dvd.

Everything works fine, until it gets to the part where it says encoding audio, and then it just stops working, and it says iDVD is not responding. Does anyone know how to fix this, or why this is happening?

Rich is correct.
This question is frequently asked!
iDVD is probably not 'hanging'. Disregard any messages that iDVD is not responding. It is. Do not force quit.
Encoding audio is the slowest part of rendering, and can take many hours. Great patience, even an intermittent alternative hobby, is called for.
Make sure no other application is running, make sure you have not set the hard disk to go to sleep and that the screen saver will not come on. Leave it overnight, or have a 36 hole game of golf.
Sooner or later iDVD will finish!

Been trying to burn a movie onto DVD and get this "The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media" Anybody know what it means and what to do? Help! Thanks

It generally means that the media is faulty or of poor quality. Most of us here use Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden media.

Your Superdrive may need a clean.
If you have further questions please state what Mac, with what versions of OS X, iMovie and iDVD you are using.

Tutorial: Burning QuickTime Movies to a DVD using the Burn utility.
Here is a quick 3 step tutorial on how to burn a QuickTime movie into a self-playing DVD.
Step 1: Click the Video tab and name your DVD.
Launch the Burn utility, and in the main window:
Select the Video tab.
Name your DVD
Choose "DVD" from the pop-up menu.
Step 2: Drag your QuickTime movies into the file list.
Drag some video files right into the Burn file list. Most video files are supported, however some protected QuickTime files may not work. If they are not in the correct format for DVD, Burn will ask to convert them to the right format. Most of your movies will require conversion.
Once you click "Yes" you'll be prompted to tell Burn where you want to save the converted movies. In that save dialog box, in you live in North America, make sure the NTSC format is selected (Read about PAL format).
Note: This conversion process can take some time depending on the size of your movie, and the speed of your Mac.
Step 3: Click the Burn button and insert a blank DVD.
Your computer will display a dialog indicating the DVD is burning. When it's done, eject the disc and try it out in your TV's DVD player.
Enjoy.

I can't find iDVD on my computer, and I need to burn a movie onto a disk. Help?

I can't find iDVD on my computer. I need to burn a movie onto a disk, and I need it quickly. Can someone help me? I've searched for iDVD in applications, but it's not there.

iDVD is no longer supported by Apple and does not come pre-loaded on new Macs.
If your computer did not come with iDVD and iWeb preinstalled, you can ask Apple for a free copy here:

Alternatively, you can purchase a boxed version of iLife '11 from Apple, Amazone, etc. Boxed versions come with iDVD and iWeb still on the disk.

I cannot burn my movie onto IDVD.

I cannot burn my movie onto IDVD. Says multiplexing error. Tried rerendering it as suggested on error code. Apple wants to charge me $29 to look into it and says the money is non refundable. Suggested I come here. Can anyone help me? Please...

I went to the TROUBLESHOOTING desk yesterday at our APPLE store. I got 15 minutes free. They told me that IDVD is no longer supported by APPLE and my Mac Mini is 5 years old, therefore, I'm out of luck. They told me to download new software and I thought the technician said the software is called IM DVD, but of course, I get home and I can't find it. Now what?

I want to burn my movies to a DVD but, it tells me to go to iDVD toolbar on my iMac. If it does not show up how do I find it?

You'll need to purchase iDVD 7 via the boxed iLife 11 disc from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 11(US store) since iDVD has been discontinued by Apple and is not being distributed with new Macs or in the Apple store.

How do I burn a .mov file to DVD?

I need to burn an MPEG-2 video file saved as .mov to a DVD that will play in a regular DVD player.
I have tried opening iDVD and the selecting 'Create a New Project'. When I have selected a location for the project and the main window opens, I go to File > OneStep DVD from Movie...
My understanding is that when I import a movie file, it will burn it straight to the disc without any further options. It does this, however after a couple of minutes the DVD is ejected blank and iDVD says the burn has completed.
How can I solve this problem or is there another way to burn a .mov file to DVD?
Thanks, Dan

A green screen in an indication that the movie is in a format not supported by iDVD. It should be in one of these formats: DV, high-definition video (HDV), MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-4 SD, MPEG-4 HD, and AVCHD. (From SDMacUser's post in What input file formats does iDVD...: Apple Support Communities). The post has other requirements that need to be met.
SD = standard definition.
Open your movie with QT Player and bring up the Info window for the movie. It will have the format:
Another possible reason is the Energy Saving settings on the Mac. Turn off energy saving and screen saver before starting the save as disk image or burn.
Other possible fixes can be found in this tipic: Green Screen with audio after Burning: Apple Support Communities

How can I improve quality of image when burning a movie to a DVD?

What resolution are you using? If the DVD is to be playable on an ordinary DVD player, only ordinary TV resolution is supported. You need Blue ray for HD.

Thanks for your help! Yes I've got FCP X....;) But I'm asking now myself: Do DVD Studio Pro and Toast work with FCP X? Of course, I can import normal files, but I think, that I'll loose a lot of quality, if I don't export files directly from FCP X right?
