Burning purchased videos

I want to back up my purchased vidoes from the music store, but when I go to burn it to a CD it says that it can't because burning is disabled for those tracks. I was able to burn purchased songs, but not videos. Is there a way to enable the videos to be enable to burn them?

You can only backup purchased videos on Data CD/DVD.
Due to DRM, you cannot burn them in other formats.

What am I doing wrong, I am trying to burn a video that I downloaded form I tunes

I have a Compaq Presario desktop no CQ3240AN and am trying to burn a video that I purchased from ITunes, I keep on being asked to load a disc, which I have many times. The disc I am using is Kodak DVD-RW,. My computer doesn't seem to recogonise the disc. It is more thann likely I have missed a step, but I don't know which one.
The video is on the computer but I want to play it on my TV.
I have never done this before and could really use some help.

HI Marge,
It's possible that the optical drive is not compatible with the optical media that you are using. Look closely at the DVD media disk. Do you see DL? If you are using DVD-RW DL media then the optical media is not compatible with the optical drive in your PC.
Try DVD+R optical media.
If you do have the correct media then review the tips in this posted article.
If you are using DVD-RW (single density) media and it is "closed" then you have to reformat the disk before attempting a burn. Make sure that it is closed by the burning program. The optical media being used must be compatabile with the optical player attached to your TV.

Can Burn Ripped Music, Can't Burn Purchased Music

Help!!
Ever since installing 7.0.2 I can no longer burn purchased music to CD. Music I ripped from my own CDs burns just fine.
Data from desktop burns fine as well as music from other programs such as sonic and Windows Media Player. Actually iTunes worked fine until I upgraded to 7.0.2 from 6
I'm thinking ther must be some kind of problem with the protected MPEG4 that apple is using that is messing up CD burning
I have downloaded latest firmware, updated drivers, re installed IDE/ATA, Reinstalled iTunes, Re installed CD burner, tried every burn speed from fastest down to 1x, Turned off spam & spyware, turned off firewall, turned off virus prtection made, Made sure IMAP CD settings are set to automatic and started.
Nothing works. I'm at my wits end and getting very frustrated because I have hundreds of dollars of purchased music that is now stuck on my computer and won't burn.

I don't understand, we buy this music for a buck a piece, and then when you want to make an mp3 cd to play in your car, like i have( i can make one cd with 150 songs)or what ever , we can't even do that. I also have an ipod but i don't bring it into my car all the time. I thought that because we are buying the music and technically we own them, that we can use the music which ever way that you want. And now we have to buy a converter if we want to make mp3 cd's. I have resorted to spending my money on cd's to make cd's of my protected files, just to rip them back on my computer again as an mp3 song, remove the protected songs, and all this to do what i thought we could do with our purchases music because, oh i don't know, call me crazy, we were able to before!!! All i now see is that we have to spend money to get our music to spend money to change our music to use it the way we want to, to spend our money to make our own cd's. The operative words, spending our money. Does anyone find this absolutely rediculous? Anyone ever hear the phrase "Don't fix it if it ain't broke"? Anyone else frustrated?

Burning iTunes videos to DVD-R?

Is this possible? I bought two seasons of a show without enough memory on my PC, so I want to transfer one of the seasons to DVD-R until I get an external hardrive. Any help or other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Did you purchase this from iTunes? If so, you can only burn the video to a disk for back up purposes. You can't burn it to one that can be read by a standard DVD player. If you have a 4 gig nano, you should be able to put the video on it. You may just have to move some other things off for a while.

Burning itunes videos to DVD

First off - new to mac, new to forum, primarily use itunes for music. Having said all of that...is it possible to download a video from itunes (or a TV show) and burn a DVD? I was looking into it and can't seem to find any info. Tried it w/itunes and can't get it to "Burn disc". Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm assuming you want to burn a purchased video to a DVD disc that is watchable in your DVD player. The short answer to this question is, no, it cannot be done.
The DRM that protects the video files you buy from iTMS do not allow this type of burning. You can, however, burn the files to Data disc for backup.

Burning Music Videos

How can I burn the audio component of music video files to a CD. I've built up a large collection of music videos instead of buying the audio only, and now wish to put these tracks on a CD for my car

Sorry, no. All purchased video content is protected & can only be burned to a data disc which is suitable for backup purposes only.

How do I burn my videos onto dvd

How to burn purchased TV Shows to DVD

Hello, I recently purhcased "Downton Abbey: Season 2" for my mother. She want's to view it on our HDTV in the living room, but my computer is a desktop so it will be inconveneint to move it all the way to the living room just for that purpose. Since the DRM won't let me put the files on a USB drive for playback on the HDTV or our Blu-Ray player, I was thinking on burning the video files onto DVD's so that it'll be simple to understand for my tech-illeterate mother.
I am not planning on selling or giving out these DVD's, they are for my use in my home only. I have the right to do with them as I please as I purchased it legally, and won't be violating any copyright infringements for playing back the files for personal use.
Is there a way I can do this? I currently have iTunes 11.01.12 installed on my Windows 7 PC.
Thank You

@babs1003
I do have wireless internet, but it's pretty bad for streaming (I live in a rural area). That is why I opted to download the videos on iTunes, as they are DOWNLOADED there is no need for them to be streamed.
My question for the Apple TV is that can it directly stream video from my computer & not from the cloud (like Netflix)? If this is the case, this might be a good idea.

I recently got a MacBook Pro and want to burn my videos taken with my iPhone to DVD. What is the easiest program for me to accomplish this? Help!

I recently got a MacBook Pro and want to burn my videos, taken with my iPhone, to DVD. What is the easiest way for me to accomplish this? I've been told I need to download a DVD creator/burner. I've downloaded 3 different free versions, but none of them seem to recognize the video files from my iPhone. I don't need anything fancy or complicated. I just want a way to store these vidoes and be able to play them on our DVD player. Help!

Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder on your PC to /Music/ on your Mac.
Then delete what you don't want.
You will need to authorize yrou computer for the iTunes account yoru mother has.
You should create & use your own iTunes account for any more purchases.
You don't need to export anything and definitely don't need to (and shouldn't) convert anything.

Burning ipod videos to play on dvd player

does anybody know a way or a free program i can download to burn the videos on my ipod to a dvd so i can watch it on a dvd player?
Windows XP

Are you referring to purchased videos from the iTunes music store? If so, they cannot be burned to a DVD that will play in a DVD player.
They can be burned to a data DVD which will play on computers however.

Burning ipod videos to dvds for viewing?

Is there any way to burn ipod videos onto a dvd for watching on a tv? I know there's some way to do it, but I don't know what it is. Anyone know of a program with a free trial i can find somewhere?

Videos purchased from the Itunes Store cannot be burned to DVD as they are DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected and thus locked. As with any DRM file, each has an embedded code within the file that only Apple knows. DRM locks you into where, what and how you enjoy the entertainment you paid for. You own it, but are restricted to how you use it. Hope that helps.

Burning music videos to dvd-r

I just purchased the Linkin Park album, Road To Revolution, a live album. It has about 20 tracks and a "music video" of the whole concert. The video is 1 hour and 25 min long and almost 1 gigabyte. I have a 4 gb ipod nano, and the video doesnt fit on it. I wanted to try to burn the video on to a dvd-r so I could watch it on my tv, but i couldnt figure out how to burn it. I also tried putting it on my 1 gb flash drive, so I could watch it on my xbox 360, but it was slightly to big to fit on it.

Burning Purchased iTunes Songs...

Hi there,
As I have noticed on these boards, many people (as am I) are having trouble burning purchased iTunes songs onto CD's. For about three and a half hours, I tried just about everything to fix this- but no luck. Is there any downgrader to jump back to a previous, working edition? Thanks.

Having similar issues here, but iTunes (6.0.2) doesn't crash. When trying to burn an audio CD (purchased from Music Store) iTunes will act like it is initializing, start burning and then all of a sudden it will finish burning (after 1st song) and then eject the cd (after a minute of sitting there). Message about "attempt to burn disk failed...device failed to respond, unable to recover or retry". I can burn other playlists, just not purchased songs from iTunes.
Any thoughts?

Burn DVD video

I have purchased 6 Pixar animatation videos from iTunes music store.
How do you burn them to DVD?
The settings only allow a data dvd

Easy As It Looks
The virtual shelves of the iTunes Music Store now feature a video section. Music videos, Pixar shorts and select NBC Universal, Sci Fi Channel, USA Network, ABC and Disney television shows live right alongside songs, podcasts and audiobooks. Browse featured listings or search the archive to find just what you want, then click to buy. Once you do, you get stutter-free, ad-free video delivered directly to your desktop. From there, the sky’s the limit, because you own purchased video forever. Watch as many times as you choose, share between five computers, burn to data CDs or sync to the new iPod. Instant gratification never looked better.
This is directly from the Apple Website and in my opinion is FALSE ADVERTISING! Note the next to the last sentance "burn to data CDs or sync to the new iPod." but yet you cannot burn to a DVD to watch on a regular TV. The pervious line says "From there, the sky’s the limit, because you own purchased video forever"....well....Apple has yet to respond to my question for over two weeks now regarding this. I guess it is time for a class action lawsuit from all those that purchased videos thinking we could watch them someplace other than sitting in our computer chairs.....or maybe this was Apple's grand plan to get us to buy the new Ipod with video capabilities.
To think that I have spent thousands to Apple....hundreds of purchased songs, Ipod Mini, Ipod Shuffle....and get the common Big Business....small customer...why should we respond to them lack of support so prevelant in American business today
Sigh. Bad form Apple!

Backing up purchased videos

I'm sorry this is probably a really stupid question but my computer saavy is limited...
I know how to backup my purchased tracks, by burning my Purchased Music playlist onto a CD-R.
But how do I backup purchased videos? Thanks for the help. Again, sorry, probably a dumb question.

I usually backup onto a CD-R. Needless to say that didn't work. I tried a DVD-R but that didn't work either since you can only copy onto something in the CD-R drive, apparently. I was thinking about buying some CD-RWs to try, and then saw this post about iTunes not allowing you to burn videos.
I don't get that. After I bought the videos a message popped up from iTunes encouraging me to backup my "valuable" music. What other way is there other than burning it?
How do I use Windows to do it? They're not showing up on my Windows Media, My Documents, My Video, and I tried a search in for video and nothing turned up. I have Windows XP.
