Can disc utility copy an R+ dvd disc for playback on a dvd player on TV

I have a dvd (R+) that plays on my TV okay via a Sony DVD Player. When I try to copy it with the Finder to another R+ DVD the copy plays back okay on my iMac but not on the TV (using File Info on the copy the format is Mac OSX Extended). Can Disc Utility make an exact copy that won't have this problem?

Thanks, I was able to regenerate & verify that the DVD copy from the Master worked okay with my Sony DVD Player & TV. By using Disc Utility to generate the disc image &then the actual DVD copy I got the UDF format (which I guess stands for Universal Data Format). It is strange that the Finder's DVD copy process does not do the same, it always gives you the Mac OSX Extended format which doesn't work on a TV.

    im making a photo slide show using imovie. how will i make a dvd copy that can play in both pc and dvd player.  i dont have an idvd anymore. m using a mbp early 2011 osx 10.8.5.
    after making the photo slide show, i clicked share>export movie.  after which i burned using toast. the file became a .mov.  i tried playing it in my mac and it worked. my fear now is will it also play in a regular dvd?... i read from google that mov files won't run in dvd players.  what format should i convert it to so it'll play in a dvd player.  can you suggest a faster way i can burn my projects for it takes me almost an hour to export.  im going to make 28 slideshows for my kids in school. *=( if i need to do this process 28 times, i may not be able to finish it on time.  please suggest a software or an alternative as to how i should do this... m more comfortable using imovie than iphoto.  thanks and i hope to hear from someone soon *=j

    Thank you QuickTimeKirk...used toast to burn project... my project was in .mov, i tried to play it a dvd player, it did play... will try again tomorrow using another dvd player just to be sure it'll will really work with dvd players.  thank you again for your reply *=)

  • Can't install the Toshiba HD DVD Player for Windows 7 - 64 Bit

    Notebook: Toshiba Qosmio G40 with windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
    I can't install the HD DVD Player Driver from Toshiba for Windows 7 - 64 Bit 4.60.03 from 30/11/09 !
    The installation will be cancel with information that the software can not be installed on this system.

    Problem is that this file you have downloaded is not the player but just an update.
    Usually you should be able to install player designed for Vista and later install this upgrade but, as I can see, Toshiba doesnt offer HD DVD player for Vista 64-bit.
    I presume your notebook was delivered with Vista 32-bit only. Am I right about that?

  • HT4108 Can I connect my external apple DVD player to play movies on my ipad 3?

    I am afraid you cannot connect the external DVD player to the iPad. It won't work.

  • How can I connect my iMac to a TV for playback of videos? My TV does not have HDMI.

    How can I connect my iMac to a TV for playback of videos? My TV does not have HDMI.

    You need to find out what video out you have on your iMac, and what kind of video inputs there are on your TV.
    It will help to know exactly what model iMac and exactly what make/model TV you have.
    Depending on the exact model iMac you have, it may have miniVGA, miniDVI, miniDisplayPort or Thunderbolt output.  Your TV may have composite, S-video, component, DVI, VGA or HDMI inputs.  Once you confirm what kind of ports your iMac and TV have, then we can probably suggest the correct cable or adapter so you can connect them to each other.

  • Is there a way to create a cd or dvd of photos that can be "played" on a regular dvd player?

    I have a lot of pictures that I'd like to burn to a cd or dvd that can be "played" or "viewed" on a tv via dvd/blueray unit.  Can this be done?  If so, how?

    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large [iPhoto 8 (09)] and earlier or 480p [iPhoto 9 (11)] or later.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago. 
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them. 
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

  • Can't play Disk Image in DVD Player

    I saved my iDVD project to disk image so I could view the video on my Mac Pro prior to burning the project.
    When I double click the saved disk image icon, the archived file that I made earlier populates on the screen instead of the DVD player opening. That's strange?
    I see an Audio_TS file, Video_TS file, and a DVD-ROM contents files instead of the DVD player. Why isn't the DVD player playing the disk image that I saved?
    I also tried the process in reverse. Trying to open the saved disk image from the DVD Player and the saved disk image is all greyed out not allowing access to view the video.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    All I want to do is just play the disk image.
    Read through the following for help.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/18.html
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html
    Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
    There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
    Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

  • How can I watch MKVs on a DVD player and keep 5.1?

    Hi,
    I have several MKV files which I want to convert to play in a DVD player/Xbox 360.
    I want to keep the hi def and 5.1 sound in the newly encoded file.
    I have tried using Handbrake with some success. The video is outputted in hi def and it plays in my Xbox but for some reason Handbrake keeps downmixing the audio to stereo.
    Is there a professional package that can do the job? How can I watch MKVs on my players and keep 5.1 surround sound?

    You need a Thunderbolt or mini DisplayPort to composite converter like this one:

    Yikes, unless you can find one for much less than that, I'd put than kind of money toward a TV with HDMI connections.

  • Why is the LaCie copy silent on DVD player?

    Friends,
    After several frustrating hours (LaCie's readme only tells me how to connect to LaCie's readme--it should say, "if you are reading this don't bother to read this.") I finally burned a DVD. It was made from a videocam film that we had copied to a DVD. The sound was very bad, but as it was a souvenir film we want the sound.
    On my computer, all works well but when played it on the television the video plays but it is silent. Did I miss something in the Burning Process?
    I was so proud, but now I'm lost again.
    Patricia

    Is the DVD player built into the TV? or is it an
    external DVD video player? or are you using your iMac
    to send the video to the TV?
    Thanks, Dwayne--you pointed me away from the iMac and LaCie and I found that the DVD player was not properly connected to the TV.

  • What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on PC or DVD player using MacBook Pro?

    What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on a PC or DVD player?  I'm using a MacBook Pro since that's the computer that has all the photos (in an album) and music.  Thanks.

    I would suggest that you post this to the Adobe Encore>Menus & Buttons forum. What you want to do, if I read correctly, is pretty simple. There will probalby be links available to step you though it. I'll look for this there, and start gathering some links.
    Good luck,

  • Can AE provide wired LAN connectto DVD player with internet streaming

    Hi!
    Can you please tell me if the Airport Express (in a home network that has a Airport Extreme as the primary router) be used to connect wirelessly to the router and then use the LAN 100 port to connect a DVD player with internet video streaming.
    Bottom line, can the AE LAN port be used to feed a wired connection, or is it only for taking a LAN input to create a wireless network?
    Thanks!

    You could continue to use the older "g" devices to stream with AirTunes, but yes, the slower "g" speeds will drag down the performance on the network.
    I would give a strong look to ethernet powerline adapters. They are almost as good as having a straight ethernet cable connection and will provide much more bandwidth and speed than wireless.
    If you are going to download movies or stream audio and vide, wireless is not the way to go. Ethernet is always the best way to go if possible. Second choice is ethernet powerline adapters. Distant third for movie streaming or gaming applications would be wireless.

  • Can the rubber facing on my dvd player be repalced?

    The rubber facing on my DVD player/recorder prevents a DVD from being ejected.
    I have to pull up on the top of the frame for the DVD opening so it will eject.
    Does anyone knowif this can be repaired?

    Hi Nancy,
    Yes, it can be repaired, but it means taking much of your MBP apart to get at the "seal" from the inside, and having the ability to carefully glue it back on.
    You could also have it repaired by Apple, but that would almost certainly mean replacing the entire lower case, rather costly. By any chance are you still covered under an Apple Protection Plan?

  • Lost My DVD Player

    My girlfriend dragged my DVD Player on my desktop. I thought It was just a shortcut and deleted it, so my DVD Player is gone. I've tried finding a download, but I can't. Is there a simple way to get my DVD Player back or should I get a hold of Apple?

    Welcome to Apple Discussion
    You can extract a copy of the DVD player from your Installer DVD. To do so, you'll need to use 3rd party shareware Pacifist. This application is usable for unregistered version, however, there is a 20 second delay on the start-up.

  • Can't burn to dvd.  Message says dvd player is incompatible.

    I am using a MacBook Pro running OS10.7.5.  I am using the burn folder to burn some files to a dvd.  I get a message that says "The disc can't be used because the dvd player is not supported" error code 0x80020025.
    I have burned dvds before and have not had this problem.

    That is a system/hardware issue, not an iDVD issue. I've asked the Hosts to move this to the Lion community.
