I have been downloading The Office Tv Episodes and i was wondering how to turn them into dvd's Toast and idvd both will not convert them.. is there something i must know to convert them? when my friends want to watch an episode i would rather them watch them on the TV instead of the Laptop. I know that i have an s-video jack and a DVI output but i just want to know how to make a DVD with them.

I'm not sure what you mean by this being "a big issue." Yes, people would like to burn these videos they download to video DVD and be able to play them anywhere. But the content providers required Apple to not allow this. Talk to the content providers, and send your polite feedback to Apple about it. It is possible that Apple could negotiate new DRM terms that allow burning to video DVD in the future.

  • Burning slide show on DVD.

    Have P E 5.  Wish to create and display slide shows on HDTV.  Have created a show, but just learned that my version cannot burn the show to DVD.  Am I missing something?  Are there other options?  Does the latest version 10 have this feature?
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Fred

    No version of PSE has this function, since Adobe wants you to buy Premiere Elements.
    If you have a dvd burner you must have some kind of software you can use for this, even if it's only windows movie maker. You may also have gotten something like Roxio. Check to see what you have on your computer already. Then just output your slideshow as a wmv file and use whatever it is to create the video disc.
    However, note that PSE does not create HD output.

  • Burning TV show to DVD

    I recently purchased the TV show, Series 5 of Madmen from iTunes.  How can I burn them to a DVD to enable me to watch them on my TV via my DVD player.  I tried creating a play list as with music and burn to a DVD-R but this was not recognised by my DVD player.  Do I need special software?  Any tips help would be greatly appreciated.

    the question has been answered satisfactorily.
    Not really. Many of us are frustrated by the ultrahigh levels of copy protection that do little to stop crooks from copying movies but does a lot to frustrate and complicate the lives of honest people.
    Movies purchased on iTunes and movies purchased on DVD often live in two separate universes. I like to use my Apple TV to purchase TV shows and the like. But when it comes to movies I always buy them on DVD.
    There is a low cost method that may be available to you.  Many Macintoshes can be connected to televisions directly.  If you told us about your computer and your TV someone here might be able to explain how you can watch your shows on your larger television using the appropriate cable.

    David,
    Below is an extract from a discussion I had with others on forums who had your current dilemma. Adobe's answer is generally to use Adobe Premiere Elements to burn the DVD; if you have it installed there is a additional option to burn to DVD on that menu. However, you may have other choices.
    If you have a DVD burner, want to make a PSE 3 or 4 slide show that plays on a TV DVD player, and do not have Premiere Elements:
    - create a WMV file using DVD NTSC or DVD PAL (according to your country TV standards) as the OUTPUT parameters
    - then read the doc that came with the software that supports your DVD burner (might be Nero, Sonic, Roxio) looking for a function that will create a Video DVD (note that it must specifically be creating/authoring a VIDEO DVD intended for play on TV rather than just burning a data DVD). Once you find this function, use your WMV file from PSE 4 as the input and choose the software options that give you a video DVD.
    Based on my experience and conversing with others on forums, this will give you a DVD that is significantly better quality than the Elements VCD (written to a CD) and but not quite as good as a program that does a slide show direct to DVD. Quality is a subjective judgement, so I am not saying this is the answer for everyone. However, my philosphy is generally to try the software I have first before purchasing additional software.
    Notes: For Sonic, I used a MyDVD limited edition that came with my burner. For Nero, I communicated with someone who did it with Nero Vision Express. I don't have any specifics for Roxio.
    Notes: Creation of the WMV will almost always take a long time - depending on the number of slides and the number and type of transitions, zooms, pans. Each photo must downsized in resolution, then each individual type of motion must be applied; these photos must then become frame per second video (a significantly different format translation). All this takes time and processor power.

  • Error burning Slide Show to DVD

    In the completion stage of the DVD burn in PreE 4 I receive the following error message.-  Device error - Sense Code (37304) -program memory area / rma update failure.
    Can anyone tell me what the problem may be? Previously i have burned a slide show successfully. Now, after 2 trys for this slide show I receive this same error message.
    Sanray19

    This error can display two reasons
    1. Bad quality disc solution : Use  a new disck
    2. DVD driver is incorrect or Power supply or disconnect the cable while encoding process is ongoing. : solution : Burn it again.
    3. You are working long time in editng, this scenario memory would increased, so that application would not get enough memory generate  encoded file.  Solution : Restart and burn again.

  • Burning slide show to dvd

    How do i burn my photo slide show i created in i-movie to a DVD? i tried doing from idvd but it wont play on my pc?

    I recommend you study the iDVD tutorials from Apple.
    If you feel like you know what you are doing and you have followed the tutorials, you may have a failing DVD drive. Call Apple for help getting the DVD drive repaired.
    iDVD tutorials should be available in iDVD under Help menu.

  • IDVD encoding errors when attempting to burn slide show to DVD.

    iDVD fails to burn disk and fails with encoding error.  Have attempted to use best, good, and professional modes of encoding to no avail.

    Hi Patrick,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions. I see you're a new member. Hope you're enjoying your new Mac Pro. What are you trying to burn to exactly?  I use Verbatim Dvd-R with excellent results. If you are using a higher quality media like Verbatim, Maxell, or Taiyo Yuden but to no avail then I need to ask if you have first tried making a disc image from the file menu in iDvd and then playing back said image with apple's dvd player app (prior to burning to Dvd-R).
    This approach helps us narrow down the issue so we can better assist you.

  • Burning tv shows from external hard drive to dvd

    I have all of my iTunes on an external hard drive but not actually on my computer,and I am now putting the tv shows on dvds, but my computer will not play the dvds. Is there a way that I can fix this?

    You can make a data DVD as back up, but you cannot make a DVD that you can play on a DVD player.
    From the terms of use of the itunes store:

  • I created a slide show using my photos on iphoto can I burn this to a dvd with the music in the backgroun

    I created a slide show using photos from iphoto and I was able to put it to music to view it on my mac. I am trying to figure out a way to download it or burn it to a DVD with the music in order that it can be given as a gift. Also is there a way to use multiple songs for the slideshow.
    thanks much

    First if you slideshow requires more than one audio track go to iTunes and create a new playlist with the music you want.  You can take the total time of the playlist and divide by the number of slides to get the approximate playing time for each slide. 
    In iDVD go into the slideshow window and then click on the Audio button at the right.  Locate the playlist and drag it into the music bin at the bottom of the window.
    Click to view full size
    Be sure that non of the audio tracks are DRM protected tracks from the iTunes store.  You won't be able to use them if they are.  And remember this is only for slideshows created by iDVD from still photos imported from iPhoto.

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

    how do you burn slide show to a disk to watch on any tv

    If you only have PSE, then output your slideshow as a wmv file and use whatever  software you have to create the video dvd, even something like Windows DVD maker. If you also have Premiere Elements, then send the slideshow there for finishing.

    how to burn slide show too a dvd-r in web superdrive plugged into the usb port

    I think this link will offer some good insight. I would recommend moving the library to an external HD if you are already using iPhoto on your MBP. If you do decide to move the library directly to your MBP just make sure you are using a different enough name for it that your MBP can easily locate each library independently.

  • I am trying to get a good copy of my home video on DVD using IDVD.  On editing the video all the viewing screens show the video perfectly in HD.  When I burn the video to DVD all the end results are buzzy with squiggly lines.  Any fix?  Thanks?

    Hi
    There are several layers to this Q
    A. There are no HD in DVD - DVD is as standard only SD-Video what ever tools used to produce it !
    iDVD or DVD-Studio Pro or Roxio Toast™ - will only make SD-Video on DVD
    B. DVD can be better or worse
    • Using "Share to iDVD" is no good way - Better is Share to Media Browser and as Large (NOT HD as result will be worse)
    • Using iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - are not tools to chose if highes quality is of importance - iMovie up to HD6 or FinalCut any version is far better as they send over all lines to iDVD and not only every second one.
    • Using Right encoder quality depending on movie and Manu duration is very important
    • Use of high quality brand of DVD - is important - I use Verbatim DVD-R
    • Type of DVD - DVD-R plays on more DVD-Players (even old ones)
    • Burn speed - I set it down to x4 - resulting in less burn errors - plays on more players
    • I secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up Mac OS hard disk as iDVD and Mac OS needs this and it can not be taked from other hard disks - has to be here.
