How do I burn my purchased videos to CD or DVD?
You can burn back up copies of iTunes videos to a data CD or DVD. However, you cannot burn iTunes videos to a DVD for playback on your home entertainment DVD player.
In other words, the only way to watch the videos is with an authorized computer .

  • I can't burn a dvd using any method, Idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when i click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac

    I can't burn a dvd using any method, idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when I click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac, or how do I do whatever I need to do to get it working: I have already tried using a lens cleaning cd and also restored my nvram or something i forget what it was called but i restarted my computer holding down  command+optoion+p+r and still nothing???
    Free solutions are the best, although if I have to pay I will, I would prefer to not have to buy an external burner if possible and already know that is an option so please don't give me that answer... thank you for any help you can give

    Unless your iMac is still covered by AppleCare, get an external DVD burner.
    You can get perfectly good ones from Amazon for less than $40.

  • By using "Disk Utility", will I burn a DVD to watch on TV or burn a DVD for storage?

    Old Toad tells me to burn a DVD from"Disk Utility", but will that burn my DVD so I can watch it on TV, or will it store those files on a DVD?
    If best, I would like to actually watch the DVD...

    Disk Utility will create a data DVD for storage.
    Ony iDVD will burn a video for playback with a DVD player or your Mac.
    The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:

    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast.

  • How do I split a project in IMovie into two projects?  When I try to burn a DVD RDL in IDVD, it tells me the movie is too long.

    I am running  IMovie 8.0.6.  (OS X Mavericks 10.9.5) How do I split a project into two projects?  When I share it in Media Browser to IDVD, and try to burn a DVD- RDL, it keeps telling me the project is too long.  Do I split it in IDVD and how do I do that?

    AppleMan  Thanks very much for the information, however I could't make it work. I followed your instructions to the letter, in fact I tried every which-way. I created a dedicated file into which I copied and pasted the project from "package contents"  but it was still greyed out when I went to retrieve it. I also found that the file size was reduced to only a few Kb.  Any further step-by-step instructions would be appreciated as I am obviously doing something wrong.  Babowa  It appears that in imovie everything has to be "finalised" before it can be used or shared elsewhere in the same way as a disk has to be to be played elsewhere. Funnily enough an MOV file I converted to Mp4 was not greyed out and I was able to import it.... an exercise I am not keen on because of resolution loss during conversion

  • I-movie. I made a movie for a party of my daughters using photos and music. The video looks great on my Mac but when I burned a dvd and watched it on several t.v.s it looked like crap. The pictures looked blurry because of the movement of transitions?

    Does anyone have ideas to sharpen the video i made. Looks good on computer but not on tv. the transition between pictures blurs the images. Is it my tv that causes this?

  • I can not burn a cd in itunes.  It tells me the drivers for importing and burning cd and dvds are missing.  It tells me to reinstall itunes.  I have done this several times and it does not help.

    I can not burn a cd in itnes.  When I open itunes it tells me the dirvers for importing and burning cds & dvds are missing.  It tells me to reinstall itunes.  I have done this and it does not help.  How can I solve this problem?

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • How to burn on DVD

    I have Avi file and .srt file for subtitles how to burn on DVD to watch on desktop player ?
    I used ffmpegX but maybe doing something wrong, I just dropped avi file in window and just under filters add subtitles no other things done, I encoded but no subtitles
    Any help ?
    Thanks

    Insert a blank disc into the optical drive.  choose Open Finder from the pop-up menu. The disc appears on your desktop.
    Double-click the disc to open then drag the files and folders you want to burn to the window.
    Arrange and rename the files if needed.
    Choose File > Burn and follow the instructions.

  • I'm finished with project and burned to DVD.... Can I delete?

    What is everyone's opinion on what to do with the their projects once they are completely finished burning all of their projects to DVD? I really like keeping my HD nice and neat and don't want a bunch of video taking up space. I have burned the DVD to watch and made a backup DVD of the important video's. I will keep the backup DVD in a safe place. Do you think I would be ok to delete all of my projects and clips that I have created?

    I keep everything. This has let me do some really interesting things. I have videos going back to when my children were small. This January, I made a movie showing scenes from my daughter's 18th, 17th, 16th, 12th, 8th, 6th, 5,4,3,2,1, birthdays and the day she was born. This was simple in iMovie because the footage was all there and you can combine clips from multiple events in a single project.
    This also gives you flexibility for the future. If BluRay or something beyond BluRay becomes popular, you can easily share you movies to the new format.
    You can get an external 1 Terabyte drive ( or pick a size you like). It needs to be formatted as MAC OS Extended (journaled). (If it comes at FAT32, you can reformat it using DISK UTILITY)
    I use Firewire 800, but if you have a recent MacBook, you may not have Firewire so USB will work fine.
    Open iMovie and click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK. You will see an icon for your disk in the Events list. Hold down the command key while dragging the event to the icon for the disk in the event list.
    Projects work similarly. Command-drag the project to the external drive in the project list.
    Good luck.

  • How to burn a slide show to a dvd to watch on tv?

    I have a slide show set up in Aperature. I am needing to burn it onto a dvd, so friends are able to play it in a dvd and watch on their TV.  What program works best for this?  I have the Adobe -  Creative Cloud if there is a program that would be simple to use.

    I'm not at all familiar with Adobe; you do need software that will properly encode the video so the DVD is readable by any DVD player. Top of the list would be iDVD with customizable menus to give your masterpiece that special look - no longer available from Apple, but still available as part of the retail iLife 09 or 11 disk - some resellers, including Amazon, still have it. Then there is Roxio Toast ($$) - excellent burn software, but no customizable anything. There is Burn (free) - it does what it says: burn. And there are others; you can google for them - I've tried several and prefer to use iDVD and Roxio Toast.

  • HT2801 I can't burn a dvd. It tells me my superdrive is missing. How can i get that back.

    I can't burn dvd. It tells me my superdrive is missing. How can I get that back

    You forgot to add what Mac you are using and what version of OS X, but Superdrives do not go missing, although they can develop faults.
    If you are running Lion it may be that it not the Superdrive that is missing, but the iDVD application:
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion.

  • HT1645 whether i use a DL DVD or just a DVD R, it tells me there was an error during multiplexing.  I have tried changing every setting, best performance, professional quality, etc. and still get the same error message every time i try to burn to dvd.

    whether i use a DL DVD or just a DVD R, it tells me there was an error during multiplexing.  I have tried changing every setting, best performance, professional quality, etc. and still get the same error message every time i try to burn to dvd.

    Welcome to the forums.
    Looks like that error message does refer to encoding (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1645) but a problem could be that your video has to be reloaded into iDVD if you started the encoding process and then switched settings.  You could start a new iDVD project, or try deleting encoded assets.
    Let's start from the beginning -- what length of video are you trying to fit on the DVD? (this will indicate what encoding options you have).  Double layer DVDs can be finicky and are used for video more than 2 hrs long.
    Use good quality media -- Verbatim is often recommended around here, and I've used Sony DVD-R with good results.
    For a detailed treatise, see:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3926901?tstart=0

    I am not a computer savy person.  I just need to plug in and have the machine do what it should do.
    Not a problem, but that indicates you have a lot to learn.
    File extensions like mpeg, mp4., avi, wmv, etc. are just wrappers. It is like a box the audio or video content is placed inside. The audio and video content must be encoded with a codec before it is placed in the box. There are thousands of codecs. Not all are installed on your Mac. You must have the same codec installed that encoded the video in order to play it. So, while Quicktime does support mpeg wrapper, it may not have the codecs to decode the internal video.
    Some programs have lots of the codecs available to them, like VLC, Niceplayer, MPlayerX, etc.
    You can also get "plug-ins" for Quicktime that add codecs to Quicktime, like Perian. Although it is no longer being developed, Perian still works well.
    Why is it so difficult? Probably because they are always working on ways to compress the video to get better playback.

  • After I purchase a TV show on itunes can I burn it to DVD to watch

    I have tried several times to burn a show to a DVD to watch on home dvd player. Im having no luck with it I dont want to watch it on my monitor...Is this the only way I can watch it. Whats the secret to buring it with my dvd buring software to watch on home player....thanks

    Why would you figure that? Personally I expect that if I download it to my computer, that I will watch it on my computer. If I want to watch it on TV, I will go out and by the DVD or go buy an AppleTV.
    And as has been said before, if you have an issue with this, you need to go talk to the copyright holders. They are the ones who make Apple do this

  • Watching Movie Burned to DVD on Television

    I have recently just started using iMovie and iDVD to capture the video that I am taking of my hockey team that I coach. Each game "tape" is about 45 minutes in length, which comes out to about 10GB on my computer when I import the video. As I understand it iDVD will compress this for me so that it fits on one DVD. What I would like to know is if after I have done this and burned the DVD, when I watch the movie, how large will the resolution be? The reason I ask this is I want to be able to use the DVD to put in a DVD player and show on a television to my team to go over the game in our video sessions. Previously, I have just connected the camcorder to the television and done it that way. However I want to save the game videos for later use and do not want to have to keep a bunch of tapes. Thanks.

    As you mentioned, iDVD will compress, that is remove certain amount of data per frame, but if you keep your iMovie of each game or practice to less than 60 minutes, the viewing quality of the resulting DVD will be more than sufficient for viewing on TV with a DVD player. The key as far as the DVD itself is concerned is the bit rate, which for the compression involved for a 45 minute video, is about 6 million Bits per second. VHS is (was?) about 2 million bits per second when everything was working. Use Best Performance in iDVD (open iDVD Preferences and look within General) for burning and keep the Themes simple.
    The key to the quality in the DVD is the "production" quality that you can achieve during your video taping and for your purposes that may be mainly lighting and color, assuming your video camera is high quality. Having more than one camera recording the game also helps. The idea is to reduce the amount of camera movement as much as possible. Lighting,color and movement(motion) all impact compression process prior to the burn.
    As you may know, there is some compression by the video camera to record onto the tape so you are starting with already compressed material.
    Although you seem to prefer DVD to tape, tape actually provides greater video detail and color is often better.
    Tape is always available for editing, while DVD requires a lot more work to retrieve old material. As long as they are kept in their plastic boxes, tape is more resistant to abuse, such as scratches. And if you are not planning to archive your videos, you can the same tape several times before seeing significant problems during playback. Tape is the preferred medium for archiving.
