Burning TS folder as Data DVD vs. Video DV. Is there a difference?

Is there a difference between burning a Video_TS folder as a Data-DVD vs. a Video-DVD in a program like Toast?
I'm experiencing a wierd problem with a client where my discs only play on computers and not on DVD-players and I wonder if I may have burned the folder as a DATA DVD instead of a Video DVD and that is the problem...
Does this make sense or am I a complete loon?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the link and quick response. I did use Toast
When I was working on this proj a few monthes ago, I remembering giving them a "Master" disc with the TS folder in it. I'm currently wondering if perhaps I burned it as a DATA disc because (according to my thinking, let me know if its incorrect) that a TS folder burned as DATA would be of higher quality than a TS folder burned as Video, should they ever need to have it replicated.
Come to find out they had the disc duplicated in-house. And those discs (including my Master) will only play on computers not DVD players... which seems to be consistent with a DATA disc. They inspected the disc and the folders/files look to all be in place so its kind of a mystery. Again, this seems to be what would happen if I burned a DATA instead of VIDEO: all the files would looks to be in place.
Thoughts?

  • Data DVD burn cancels

    I have tried repeatedly to burn a back-up data DVD of a playlist. The burn cancels in the first song. I have culled through the playlist and removed anything purchased online or shifted over from another desktop on the same computer. None of the songs are from the iTunes store; all have been uploaded from CDs and are listed as MPEG audio files. I am not concerned about preserving playlists, etc. just want to back up the songs. The ultimate goal is to transfer the library to a new Mac (don't have it yet).
    My knowledge is basic, so please use simplistic language in any responses!
    Thank you.

  • Burning Downloaded shows on a DVD

    I tried burning a DVD with "The Office" shows bought from iTunes Music store, but after i burned the DVD whenever i try to play it on either of my DVD players it refuses to start playing, niether of them can read the disc. I burned it on a Data DVD format, because it was my only option. I am using Sony DVD-R disc's to burn. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank You,

    Sorry to be the messenger of bad new but, with purchased video you currently can not burn it to a playable DVD.
    Apple has done this to make sure "Hollywoods" content is fully protected and to keep them happy. Now there are some DVD players that will read and play a DATA dvd, but most don't. DATA DVDs are mainly for backup only incase your PC crashes or something.

  • Are you burning HD footage to HD DVD's?

    This is for you guys in the USA, I see you are shooting and editing in HD, have you got HD burners for your Macs?
    I have shot some footage on my Sony Z1 and edited it in FCPro for the future when I manage to get an HD burner. Im dying to burn my HD stuff to DVD, but as you know there are no compatible HD burners for Macs as far as I know.. at the moment I just export as SD.
    So tell me this why are some of you editing in HD and burning HD DVDs?
    Im curious...ta!

    We create HD DVDs using standard red laser dye DVD5 discs and DVD SP 4.2 or 4.1.2.
    They play with menus on Toshiba HD DVD A-1 players with the latest firmware.
    We encode either to HD mpeg2 or h.264 using DVCProHD footage.
    No HD DVD burners available. Superdrives work fine with standard DVD Rs.

  • Burning to folder and then to dvd

    Hello,
    I am getting into a complete mess trying to burn my project in PE7 to a folder ( can't even see "burn to folder" option!) I need to comlpete this project today so can u PLEASE give me the steps I need to take. I did look in forums, but still none the wiser. I assume it is the Video .ts files that i then burn to dvd from the folder.
    Help much appreciated.

    Hunt,
    Bottom line: I believe that the Bitrate 8.0 vs 5.45 or 7.8 or other is a non issue for Premiere Elements 7 Burn to Disc or Folder. I respect the great work of Robert Johnston, but question generalizations from the work that others have made.
    I have not found the original Robert Johnston/Premiere Elements 3/Bitrate 8.0 vs 5.45 link with the reported proof for Premiere Elements 3, but did find the recent follow up chat on that subject in the following March, 2009 link
    http://muvipix.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4977
    Based on what I read there and my actual studies on the issue with Burn to Folder (with Nero to Burn VIDEO_TS Folder to DVD) as well as Burn to Disc (Sonic within Premiere Elements 7), I am left to recommend the following if you are using Premiere Elements 7 and want to put your Timeline on a DVD disc in the DVD-VIDEO format:
    In Share/Disc/Disc or Share or Disc/Burn to Folder
    Work with “Fit Contents To Available Space” checked
    If the Bitrate is less than 8 Mbps because the program is laboring to fit your Timeline on the disc, stop and consider the consequences of
    a. Bitrate lowering vs Quality, judging each case on it own merits, AND
    b. the fact that you may not have enough resources to complete the burn.
    The only time I ever leave “Fit Contents To Available Space” unchecked, is if and when I get a Data Rate Error message. The major fix for that is to leave the “Fit Content to Disc” unchecked and then manually lower the Bitrate gradually to a point where the Data Rate Error message just disappears.
    From Robert Johnson’s 2009 fuzzy recollections of the details of his original work done years ago in Premiere Elements 3 to the more recent chat on the subject, I would question generalizations made from the chat and applied to other situations. Robert Johnson does say in the 2009 link that in Premiere Elements 7 he does not see the quality vs bitrate issues that he reported in Premiere Elements 3. There are too many questions to be asked
    a. what was video source and format and duration…is he altering the bitrate on a Timeline whose content exceeds the available space of the disc or one whose content is already within the available space of the disc
    b. if you are opting for burn to folder, how if at all are the burn software and/or DVD disc brand and type impacting the quality of the result
    c. what does this all have to do with the way Adobe has programmed this Bitrate factor with and without “Fit Contents To Available Space” checked.

  • Is it possible to burn a data DVD without numbered folders?

    In iTunes I have a playlist sorted on Album by Artist with the intent of getting folders for each Artist, inside of which would I expect to have Albums when I get this to DVD-R, which our Acura MDX can read & play and display ID3 tags.
    Problem is every folder on the burned media is preceeded by a number. I want the DVD-R to NOT have this since I can use the hands free selection knob which 'speaks' the folder names, but with numbers it's anoying since every album reads out "001 U2, 002 Kings of Leon...etc, etc"
    I have a hunch that this only works for MP3 CD media, not DVD, as when I select MP3 CD iTunes seems to want me to create a data DVD.
    Help! TXS!

    I am not sure I understand your question... Premiere Elements is a video editing program, with disc output being a MOVIE DVD or BluRay
    I think you need to use a different product to write computer files to a DATA disc

  • Burning Data DVD's

    When I try to create and use a burn folder to store a collection of jpg's all I can add are alias', not the pictures themselves. This function works just fine on the Mac Pro running Tiger but I can't drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste in Leopard. How do I fix this?

  • Making a Video & Data DVD

    This is probably a dumb question but I'd like to author a DVD with video files that can play in a standard DVD player but also include a folder of data (photos) that can be drug onto a computer desktop. Is this possible?
    iMac G4 (flat panel)   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    You could do this by simply setting the DVD ROM content path to a folder on your mac, inside which would need to be another folder which contains the photos.
    Click on the disc icon in the outline view and look in the property inspector under the general tab at the bottom, check the DVD-ROM box and browse for the folder which contains the folder you want.
    DVDSP will include the contents of the folder you specify on the final disc - if you point it to the 'inner' folder then DVDSP will take the content and place it at the root level of the disc, leaving you with a load of images and a VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folder. For this reason, you point it to the 'outer' folder and keep the root of the disc tidy!
    If you wish to use DVD@ccess then computers can launch the default viewer for the images - which is what David is suggesting. The only caution I would add is that it is tricky to get DVD@ccess working on PCs (OK on Macs). It does work, but not on all machines and with all DVD playback software.

  • Multisession data DVD burned on windows don't show the folders on Mac.

    Hi,
    I think that is a well discussed thread but I weren't able to find anything at this concern on google and this forum.
    I've burned a multisession data DVD on Nero (windows XP). That DVD already have files burned and is multisession. After burn it, the folder that I'd copied on PC don't show up on Mac. Is there a way to burn that files on windows that can be recognised on a Mac? Is this a question of burn format? The parameters of copy on Nero was keep as default.
    Thanks in advance.

    It seems like Mac OS X doesn't support multisession-burnt DVDs, no matter how you put them together. In the best case, you'll only be able to see the first session. Finalizing DVDs has no impact on Mac OS X ability to read them completely.
    I learnt it the hard way when switching from Ubuntu to Mac OS X, while on the first, Nero-burnt DVDs would read flawlessly, finalized or not. I ended up being forced to burn back around 120 DVDs in one session in Nero.
    So far, Apple doesn't seem to have any plan in supporting multisession DVD burning and reading in OS X. As they have a tendancy to ditch obsolete technology sooner than others, I wouldn't hold my breath on it. On a personal level, this lack of support has made my hard drive space needs skyrocket, as I'm no longer able to incrementally burn DVDs, as I always did in Windows and Ubuntu.
    Hope that helps.

  • Choppy playback after burning data dvd in toast

    Hi Ive just finished burning a copy of various short clips which I exported as a quicktime files from FCP onto my desktop then saved them as quicktime mov. through QT player which was successful enough.I then burned a copy of this QT movie in toast as a data dvd compatible for Mac & PC viewing.When I played the dvd in QT 7.4.5 the playback was choppy but the sound was fine. I then played the same disc on my G5 desktop running panther and QT 7.4.1 and it was absolutely fine.Is this process rather a roundabout way of doing things ? and what could be causing this choppy playback on my laptop?

    Data DVD's and regular movie DVD are not read in the same way. A regular movie that is being read by your DVD player app is being stream too...and the player is set up to read from a DVD that way.
    On the other hand a data DVD the data is just setting there...The DVD player can't send the video to Quicktime fast enough to play smoothly. That's why you need to copy the data DVD to the hard drive.
    It would be if you had a 1gig image on a DVD and tried to edit it with Photoshop from the DVD. Photoshop would constantly bog down trying to read from the DVD while editing the image. Same if you had video files on a DVD tried and to it them from a editing app. The editing app not getting the data fast enough making editing very slow. Sometimes the program that's trying to read the from the DVD will freeze or crash. Best to copy the data from the DVD to the hard drive.

  • Burning Data DVD

    I am trying to burn a data dvd but everytime i insert a dvd, idvd opens up and i do not get a dvd icon on the desktop
    do i use idvd to create my data dvd and how or how do i fix the problem

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Open the System Preferences and choose "CDs & DVDs". Under the section that says, "When you insert a blank DVD" be sure to choose "Open Finder". Then, when you put a blank DVD in, an icon for the disk will appear on the Desktop and you can drag your items into the icon.
    You can leave this setting this way and wait until iDVD asks you for a blank disk the next time you're making a video DVD.

  • Previously burned data DVD comes up "blank"

    My previously burned data DVD's are now coming up as "untitled"  and blank. However, my dvd will read a movie DVD. These discs are perfectly clean of smudges/scratches. These discs open fine on my other iMac.
    The DVD will read data and music cds.  Why would it not read all my DVD-r back up discs? Help, please.
    I've ran the utility to repair permissions, and shut down-unplugged for 15-replugged and started up. No difference.
    The DVDs are DVD-r

    Not yet, but again I cannot see the relevance to dust particles being the issue if the laser reads video DVDs just fine. And it reads CDs just fine.
    Maybe this has something to do with the DVDs? These are stored stacked inside a plastic container in a cabinet.
    I am leaning more in the area of a defective SuperDrive or at leaset in the Superdrive firmware? Something set this off, but I have not updated any software since this happened.
    I'm heading out the door and will pick up a cleaning cloth. I seriousely doubt this is the issue but will try it for the sake of eliminating another step.
    Thank you for your replies. Any other suggestions are surely welcome.

    I have three videos to edit. How do I save each one so I can burn them together to a DVD?

  • Error when trying to burn a Data DVD

    Whenever I try to burn a Data DVD I get the same error - "The items in this playlist will not fit on one data disc." The playlist in question is 2.88gb, well under the 4.3gb limit. Is this a known issue? I remember an older version of iTunes would do something similar to this, but I thought that was corrected.
    iTunes 7.7.1, MacBook 1.83ghz Core Duo, 2gb RAM, MacOS X 10.5.4 (fresh install, not one week old) and an LG DVD-RW GH22LP20 burner, which is BRAND new, just got it an hour ago to replace a failing Pioneer unit which would no longer burn DVDs.
    Also, how do I get iTunes to stop asking me if I'm sure I want to burn a Data DVD? Of course I'm sure! That's why I'm doing it!

    I don't know why you are getting that error, but one work around might be to put the blank in, let it mount on your desktop, then simply do a Select All on the playlist and drag and drop them to the DVD icon on the desktop. After the Mac finished make a cache file of everything, when you drag the DVD towards the trash it should turn into a BURN icon.
