Burning to dvd disc

After I export a project using quick time to a .mov file, when I used toast titanium to burn to disc, the quality dropped very bad even though I set it to best quality and medium. It got lines when ever there are fast movement in the clips. But when I used I-dvd to burn to disc it was fine except that sometimes I don't want to use the themes. Please advise..

I'm not sure what question you're asking. If you want your DVD content to "auto-play" when the disc is inserted, click on iDVD's Map button and drag your QT file into the auto-play screen at the root level of the DVD.
How are you judging the quality of your Toast DVD? View it on a television, rather than a computer monitor, for best results.

  • Why can't I burn a dvd disc on my macBook pro ?

    I transferred some video footage to "iMovie' for editing and when I tried to burn it to a dvd disc, there was no option for that operation. All of the choices were to transfer it to You Tube, of facebook.Can I burn a dvd disc on my macBook pro laptop or not?

    If you have a macbook with internal or USB external Superdrive, insert disk, and an option appears for burning files.
    Otherwise drop the movie into a folder and click on the settings button of the folder and choose "burn .......to disk"

    You dvd has been written in sessions (three in this case).
    You can copy all the data from the original DVD into one folder and burn the folder onto another DVD.
    Do you want to make your life harder? Do the following: start Disk Utility (inside /Applications/Utilities) and click on the new image icon on top left. Pick a name for the image and specify the size (4.7 or 8.0 GB depending on the size of the original DVD as well as the rest of parameters from the drop down menus: encryption-none, format-read/write. Save the image and expand it (open it). Coppy all the required data inside it and burn it.

  • Idvd: once a project is burned to dvd disc the resolution is very poor.

    I have created a project in idvd with several sub menues and images. Once I burn the project to dvd disc the resolution is very very poor. Besides the images being very pixelated, the menu screens are just as bad(pixelated), so it's not just an image quality issue. The funny thing is, when idvd is open (in the editing mode) and I play the project, everything is crystal clear. Then I burn the project, and play it in my computer to verify and the quality is terrible for both, my images and the menu and sup menues. I did import my (hi-res, average of 5mb) images into iphoto, then pulled them in to idvd from iphoto. I used a supplied template, but did change the positioning and font of the text on the menu and sub-menues. I have chosen the encoding to be 'best quality' rather than 'best performance' under the idvd preferences menu. There has to be something else I can do to get a great quality with this program.
    Thanks!

    iDVD's Preview function can and will lie to you. Use apple's dvd player as a more accurate indicator of what the final image (or rather disc image) will look like.
    Additinal recommendations: Use best performance for QT content 1 hr. or less and not best quality setting. This may help somewhat. Also make a disc image first from the file menu in iDVD6 and then lower the burn speed to 4x or lower in apple's disc utilities or roxio toast. Use only Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R for troubleshooting purposes only.
    Lastly, when shooting on minidv camcorders make sure not to pan too quickly. Avoid sudden movements. Use a tripod whenever possible. Make sure your subject is in focus and well lit. Use new / quality minidv tapes only.

  • In iMovie or iphoto I have made a good slide show with music. I want to burn to DVD disc for viewing on any DVD player.

    In iMovie or in iPhoto I have made slideshows that I want to burn to a DVD disc. But they only play on computers and I want it to play on DVD players. How do I do that?

    Hi
    You need to do a Video-DVD
    Your Mac can only make Data-DVDs without any extra program.
    • If it's some Years old then iDVD was included to do this
    • If brand New - iDVD is not supplied any more. Nor does Apple sell it either.
    (Can be bougth from Amazon or second handed in boxed version of iLife. The iLife on Apple Store do not contain iDVD or iWeb any more)
    alt. is
    If there are/is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

  • Imported Subtitles Don't Burn on DVD Disc

    I am new to Encore. These are the steps I followed. New project, import an .AVI as an asset, create a timeline, drag the .AVI on a timeline, then Import Subtitles as a text script selecting an adb.txt file that I paid to have created. In the monitor the subtitles play. In the preview mode they do not. When I do File > Build DVD > DVD Disc the subtitles are not displayed on the disc.
    It is only a 6 minute video that I want the video and the subtitles to automatically play - just as it appears in the monitor. I did the check project button and it stated that I didn't have an end action set. I don't need it to do anything when it is done with playing the video and subtitles the first time.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Angie

    I just read your post from yesterday where you wrote
    "a button must always be selected when you enter a menu, so you would never have a case where no button is selected (but you can fake this with a button with no subpictures set to be your default button, although this is a usability design flaw)."
    I want to create a DVD to use as the source for creating VHS copies, so I think it would be OK to use a fake button process.
    If you agree, can you explain how to do this?

  • Internal Software Error while Burning to DVD Disc

    I am using PE3 and during the latter part of the burn, the process stopped and the following error message was displayed.
    .\Vobulator\Block Planner\Block Planner.cpp.line215
    Had no trouble the first time. Have tried burning to both +R and -R. Would appreciate any help, as I don't understand this message, or what I can do about it. Thanks

    I assume that you are using Encore CS4 for this Project. Is that correct?
    Now, let's look at your SlideShows. Is there any chance that the Audio is longer than the Video (the slides and their Duration), by even one Audio Unit? If so, then extend the Duration of the Video by a tiny amount. I do my SlideShows in PrPro, and always have about 2-3 Frames more Video, than Audio. I find Encore's SlideShow feature to be rudimentary at best. Also, make sure that your still images have been resized to the Project's Frame Size, outside of Encore. This would be true if you were doing SlideShows in PrPro too.
    Last thing, Encore can have issues with MPEG Audio. This can either be in muxed AV files, or Audio streams, like MP3. In general terms, MPEG is not even an optional Audio stream for DVD-Video. In PAL-land, it is "optional," but that is falling out of favor. The exception is the DD AC3 Audio stream, but it is unique. If I had MP3's, I would convert to PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit outside of Encore, and NOT use anything MP3. If I am doing the Transcoding in PrPro, prior to Import into Encore, I always do so as elemental/elementary streams, i.e. one Audio-only and one Video-only file. I then Import the Video-only file as a Timeline, and the Audio-only file as an Asset. Once into Encore, I just drag the Audio-only file to the appropriate Timeline, where it snaps into place.
    Oh, one more thing: ganging Assets on the same Timeline can be problematic, and for some of the things mentioned above, like slightly longer Audio, than Video, plus gaps. I always have one Video Asset per Timeline, and then use Play Lists for my navigation.
    Good luck, and hope that this helps.

    PS - if this is related to Encore, there is a great forum for that program, with some excellent subscribers, like Jeff Bellune and Neil Wilkes. You can get some very good and specific responses from them. Here is the Encore Forum link - see you there.

  • What do I need to burn a dvd if my mac says it doesnt support SuperDrive

    I have a Mac OS X. When i open iDvd it says:
    Your Machintosh does not have a supported SuperDrive. Please note that while you will be able to work with iDvd projects you will not be able to burn a DVD disc.
    I checked under About this Mac and under CD-Write it only says -R, -RW
    I made a movie on iMovie and therefore the only way to get it on a dvd would be through iDVD...right?
    So what do I do now? Do I have to buy something? How much will it cost?

    Welcome Prisiclaz
    If your mac doesn't have an internal burner you can still use an external S-Drive/burner (via firewire) and it should work fine. Lacie makes ext. fw S-Drives for macs or you can make your own like I did with a pioneer 110 or 111 and a standard FW 400/800 enclosure:

  • Error Message while trying to burn a DVD-R with my MacBook Pro: "The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.

    While using my Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 to burn a DVD-R I keep getting the error message: "This disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
    So, I tried the iDVD and got the same error message.
    Can anyone out there help me? I've tried both a DVD - R, and a CD.
    I made a short 2:20 minute presentation from iMovie and used the "share" to iDVD, then to iTunes, then I tried exporting it to Quicktime and saved it on my desk top. That is when I tried burning by opening the blank DVD-R in the finder then draging the movie on to it and selecting the burn option. Thank you for your time in helping me with this frustrating problem.
    Peace, Pyxidis

    I have had that same problem, but it was unrelated to any upgrade.
    In my case the optical drive was simply failing, and I replaced it - it was a Powerbook, about eight years old.
    It is possible that it's unrelated to Lion, as unlikely as this may seem, since you've just upgraded.
    Optical drives seem to be the most life-limited component in these computers. The laser just seems to get weak with age.

  • How can I burn more than 1 movie to a DVD when there is room on the disc for it. Premiere wants to overwrite once 1 movie is burned to the disc

    How can I burn more than 1 movie onto a DVD? Once 1 movie is burned successfully to the disc, I try to burn another movie and Premiere wants to overwrite the first movie. One movie is 1.2 GB, second is 2.3; so there is room on a 4.7 GB DVD-RW.

    What you report is what it is.
    Each burn to of Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO format on DVD disc results in the disc containing one OpenDVD Folder and one VIDEO_TS Folder.
    Only one VIDEO_TS Folder can be put on a DVD-VIDEO disc even when Premiere Elements is not involved. I have seen that written about online, and I have
    never found a way to overcome what seems to be basic behavior description of DVD-VIDEO..
    Premiere Elements will allow you to write to a disc with content already on it, but only after you give the OK for erasing the disc content before going ahead
    with the burn to.
    If you have several movies, one possibility is to build a Timeline with the movies, use stop markers, and setup disc menus according so that the viewer
    can selectively watch the movies. More on that later if wanted.
    Any questions or need clarification, please ask.
    Thank you.

  • I have created a slideshow using i Photo. How do I burn it to disc so that I can play it on my DVD?

    I have created a slideshow using i Photo.
    How do I burn it to disc to play on a DVD.
    I cannot access i DVD.
    Is this the problem?
    I have exported the slideshow as a movie quick time file.
    What do I do next???

    If your Mac is a new one, like mine, then it comes with a version of iLife that doesn't have iDVD and if so, there isn't an easy way to burn a DVD from iPhoto or iMovie that will play on a normal DVD player.  There is quite a bit of correspondence about this, but I couldn't find a good answer, apart from this:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18460085#18460085
    I ended up buying (via Amazon) a boxed version of iLife11, which has all the same software I already have, but with a copy of iDVD with it. 
    Seems to work well with iMovie, but at the moment, my copy of iPhoto has crashed - see:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18943719#18943719
    Having only just transferred from a Windows machine to a Mac, it seems incredibly arrogant for Apple to think people don't use DVD players anymore.
