Burning wma files onto cd

I have some large wma files on my mac created by an
Olympus digital voice recorder. I'm able to play
them through Windows Media Player for Mac. I would
like to:
1) burn the files onto a cd playable either on a Mac
or a PC. I did burn a cd on the mac, but my pc at
work doesn't even recognize the cd,
and/or
2) create an audio cd with these files playable on
any cd player.
Olympus support wasn't helpful, so I'd appreciate any
suggestions here. Many thanks!
Thanks for your replies. FYI, here's how the problem was resolved:
1) I was able to create a cd playable on both a Mac and a PC simply by burning directly in Finder and not in Disk Utility. I also used a "music cd-r" disk instead of a regular cd-r (I don't what the difference is, actually, or if it really mattered).
2) I downloaded EasyWMA for $10, converted a wma file into one playable through iTunes, and burned an audio cd from there. Unfortunately each of my voice recorder files (recordings of classes) runs for 2 hours and an audio disk with the converted files holds only 80 minutes of material, so it wasn't really worth going through that process. If anyone knows of a way of fitting more on an audio cd, I'd be interested.
Thanks.

How to burn VOB files onto a DVD?

Hello everyone, I've seen this question asked in other forum postings, but I can't seem to find the specific answer I'm looking for. Basically, I have several VOB files that I want to burn onto a DVD that I can play in a regular DVD player. Can anyone please recommend any applications that would be good to do this? I appreciate any help and support I can get, thanks!

How to burn movie files onto a disc for others to use not just watch?

Hi! I used my video camera to record my sister's wedding ceremony and other little clips throughout the day. I want to give her those files to use however she wants. I don't want to edit them or give them to her as a watchable DVD.
I want to be able to burn them onto a DVD-R and then she can upload them onto her computer and edit/manipulate them as she pleases.
Problem is, the ceremony video alone is 9.28 GB! How can I get her these files? Thanks!

Not if any single file is 4GB or larger; this is the size limit for FAT32 drives. The OP stated that one file was 9GB.
Good point - I've kept a small, portable drive formated with FAT32 to transfer an occasional small file to my PC friends.
Mac OS X 10.6.6 can read and write exFAT
Since not all my systems use Snow Leopard, exFAT isn't yet an option for me.

Burning mp3 files onto a cd

I have a list of songs that I need to copy onto a disc. To save space I want to copy these as mp3 files. My songs seem to be a combination of mp3 files and files I copied off my own cds. I've been able to burn the mp3 files, but how do I get the others into mp3 format?
thanks

Need help quick! Please! How do I burn Picture Files onto a DVD?!

When I put in a blank DVD, it doesn't show up in finder. So i thought i'd try using the Disk Utility. I select the DVD on the side bar and press the "burn" button. The picture files are grey and unelectable; i actually didn't see a selectable file. Please please help, I need this done in 30 minutes! Do i have to burn them onto CD's?

Since I have no idea what Operating system your using I will give it for both Tiger and Leopard.

Depending on which version iPhoto you have that could also be used. More detail would help make answering easier.

Burning music and video as data files onto DVD-R?

How can I (using what program) burn music and videos to a DVD-R on my MBP? To be clear, I just want to use the DVD's as storage, not to watch them on a DVD player
Thanks (and sorry for the potentially stupid question)

Put a CD-R in your optical drive. Drag the files you want onto the disk icon and then drag the disk to the trash. That'll burn the files onto the disk. Real simple.

Split & Import WMA file from windows to mac

I have bought several wma files online that are rights managed that I want to play on my ipod. A few days ago, I found a workaround to getting them from the internet to my ipod - download file on the windows side of my mac (I have XP installed and use boot camp), play for a few seconds on the windows media player to acquire the license, burn to CD and then go back to the mac side and use CD to download songs to itunes, then to ipod. Works great except for this problem:
I just bought a file that is too large to get onto an audio CD. I am trying to use software to split the file but I think the license is preventing me from doing this. Anyone have a suggestion?

I'm not sure that solves my problem. I still have to start on the windows side to acquire the license by playing the file a few seconds on a windows media player. Then I have to burn the file onto an audio CD in order to import it into itunes on the mac side. My problem is the size of the file is preventing me from burning it onto a CD. I'm not sure how a program like Switch would help.

How do you get a 4.36-gig file onto a DVD-R that will only take 4.28 gigs?

Hi there -- the kind folks in the iDVD forum explained why my 4.7-gig DVD-Rs won't actually hold 4.7 gigs, but the topic seems to have ground to a halt after that.
I have a 4.36-gig video/movie file (suffixed "ISO," if that's relevant) that I tried to burn to a 4.7-gig DVD-R, but the DVD-R says there's only 4.28 gigs available. I tried this on three different disks from two different packages.
What can I do to burn the file onto a DVD-R?
I have Final Cut Express if that can be used to reduce the size a little bit -- I've never used the program, so any instructions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Al -- thanks for your reply. I actually e-mailed the file's originator and he suggested using Disk Utility instead of just trying to drag the files onto the DVD-R. He said it would fit if I did this, and darned if he wasn't right!

Burning .avi files

I have an iBook G4 with a that will burn CDs and view DVDs. I've been burning .avi files onto regular CDs, but have a few .avi files that are too big for such discs. Can I burn them on the blank DVDs I see for sale alongside the blank CDs? Or do the discs come formatted in such a way that I can't use them that way, even though I don't want to burn DVD files?

Or you can use the terminal split command. Here are the instructions I COPIED from some other guy on it's site. I've tried it, it works and it's not complicated.
Say you just used forty two to rip a DVD to a 1.1GB AVI file and want to split it up so you can fit it on two CD's. Just fire up the terminal and run split. Here's what it would look like if you wanted to make it fill the first 700mb CD completely and then have a 400mb file for the second CD. % split -b 690m bigsupertroopers.avi supertroopers
The -b option is for bytes and the 690m tells split to break the files into no larger than 690mb files.
This will create two files called supertroopersaa and supertroopersab. If you didn't add the supertroopers on the end of the command you'd have two files named xaa and xab.
To join the files back together, just use the cat command. To join the files in this example, type % cat supertroopersaa supertroopersab > supertroopers.avi
This joins the two files with the > output and creates a filename that follows the > . If you have more than two files or you just don't want to type each split file then you can use wild cards to make it easier. For example, you could just type % cat supertroopers?? > supertroopers.avi and it will join the files just like the above cat command.
You'll then have a file identical to the original bigsupertroopers.avi only now it's called supertroopers.avi or whatever you called it.

Burn files onto DVD

Can someone explain how to burn files onto a blank DVD, please? I have iMac with Lion and DVD-RW. When I insert the DVD, no icon appears on my desktop. If I go into the disk utility, the disk shows up there. Then I click BURN, and a window opens up for me to select files. But all the files are grayed out and non-functional. What am I doing wrong?

Burn a PDF file onto a CD that contains music

Hello, I'm currently in the process of completing a physical version of some music I made. I also want to include the lyric booklet PDF file but I would like to keep the CD as a music CD so there won't be any compatibility problems. Is there any way to burn the PDF file onto the CD with the music without sacrificing playability? An album that I know has done this is Fall Out Boy's "Folie a Deux". They put some files onto the CD that would allow you to download additional content. Thank you for any help!

I know you can to this with Toast, Roxio Toast 11 Titanium - CD, DVD, Blu-Ray Burning Software Program for Mac I've done it before. Toast calls this an "enhanced audio CD". I don't know if you can do this with iTunes or Disc Utility, but probably not.

How to import WMA files into iTunes to burn to CD?

My coworker gave me a voice recorder that records in WMA files. I cannot simply drag the audio file into iTunes like I have from other recorders. I need to get the audio into iTunes so I can burn to CD. Any ideas?

Problems -
EasyWMA is not free.
Switch looks fine, but after installing the wma plugin as prompted, and feeding it the first batch of .wma files, it crashed.
I'm now 'borrowing' an EasyWMA.
Pros : simple to use. you can have it process your entire music folder at once. adds songs to itunes right away.
Cons : limited functionality! E.g. there's no option for VBR (variable bit rate), so I set it to 256 fixed. E.g. when having it run through my entire music folder, there was no option to restrict it to wma files - it also worked my flac's, for which I'd already found a better solution (fluke).
Sigh Hate to complain, but hey, this stuff would be easier on Windows

Can WMA files be burned into Cd format using Creative Media Sour

If so - using what version. I have recently had to "back track" my instsallation to version 00.2 in order to get everything to run properly. But this version does not support conversion of WMA files to the cda foramt.
Thanks

Version 00.2?? I have version 3.30.2. Where did you got the 00 version form??I am sure the version 3.30 supports conversion from wma to cda format. Otherwise, use Windows Media Player, or the Creative Audio Converter to convert from wma to mp3, then burn those mp3 with Creative Media Source. To get Creative Media Source 3.30.2 go to the Downloads page and search for it. It is free, the same as Windows Media Player.
