Can I burn a dvd to my hard drive?

I have a dvd I'd like to keep on my computer for travel and commuting time killing but I can't seem to figure out a way to burn it directly. 'Little help?

Hi there,
Copy the video_ts and audio_ts folders from the dvd to a new folder in your Movies folder. Then, google a tiny program called DVDAssist. After following the instructions in DVDAssist you should be able to watch the movie through Front Row without the dvd in your drive.
(This works perfectly for me on my Mac Book Pro).
Cheers and best of luck,
Ben

HT1338 How can I burn a DVD to my hard disc?

I wanto to burn a DVD into my Macbook pro hard disc and I can find a way to do so.
Does anyone have a answer for that?
Thanks lot.
Jucasom

If you mean to burn a disk using your mac, you have two options.
1) If you just need to burn the files (this will not automattically playback in a dvd player) than go to finder, click File and select 'New Burn Folder' . Add your files to the folder and then insert your dvd and burn.
2) If you have a video you want to playback on a dvd player then you must use iDvd to setup the movie and burn using iDvd.
Hope this helped.

Can't burn any DVDs on external firewire drive

Since I installed OS 10.4.9, neither DVDSP or toast titanium will recognize a "stable connection" to my external firewire lacie recorder... the message I get from toast is:
1. Interface Error: -50
The connection is not stable
2. The drive reported an error:
SENSE KEY = Illegal request
SENSE CODE = 0x30, 0x50
CANNOT WRITE MEDIUM, INCOMPATIBLE FORMAT
And I've been using the same media for years, without a problem.
But if I connect this device to another laptop or desktop, it'll work fine.
It still can burn CDs, and read every format. But just can't burn DVDs.
DVDSP gives me the same problem. I can use my internal burner but it's slower than using my external drive.
Ideas?
Thanks.

That's the first time I've heard about ldm, but its readme https://github.com/LemonBoy/ldm says it only automounts stuff, nothing about rw support for every existing filesystem.

yeah everything works now thanks again

How can I burn a movie to external hard drive or thumb drive

how can I burn a movie to external drive or thumb drive?

how about using Handbrake to burn to a disk?

Is it possible to burn a DVD to your hard drive?

If so, how would I go about doing that? Would I need special software? I want to burn an unprotected DVD (my own) and edit it in imovie. Is this possible?

You can take an exact image (.dmg) of the disc using the disc utility found in your utilities folder.
you can also get the largest sized .vob file in your video ts folder of the mentioned dvd and move to your hard disk . and use ffmpegx a completely freeware program to encode the video file into the format of your choice eg. .mp4 .mov .avi etc etc It will be easier to edit that way
you can get ffmpegx here : http://ffmpegX.com
hope this helps

Can i copy a dvd to the hard-drive

i have a DVD the a friend of mine burned for me but i'd rather have it on the mac so i don't have to carry it everywhere. i don't know if it's posable to copy a DVD to the mac without having to buy some kind of software.

Of course you can - if it is non-copyrighted. Right click on the DVD icon and select "duplicate" then paste the duplicate wherever you want.

In order to help you, I've saved an error log from nero. I hope it could be helpfull to someone who could help me !

Hi
The error log doesnt provide any very useful information.
According to this error log the simulation was running correct but the burning process was not started.
In such case its very hard to say why it happens. Possibly the drive is damage and cannot calibrate the lens properly or you use not compatible medias.
The burning process depands also on the fiels and data which youwant to burn.
Some data, CD, DVDs are encrypted and its not possible to burn and to copy it.
In other case you could also try to burn the medias with lower speed and not with 24x.
But in worth case you the drive has a malfunction and you have to replace it ;(

How can I burn a dvd without themes?

how can I burn a dvd without themes?

(From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results. That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option. Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
Hope this helps!

Can't burn to dvd

FCP 10.0.9 on MacBook Pro. I saved a movie to FCP and when it was finished "Create Disk" opened and asked to insert media. I insert a DVD and it is not recognized by "Create Disk" I get the screen that asks what I want to do with the DVD.
I need to get my short movie on DVD. How can I do it?

See if you can make a disk image by choosing Hard Drive for Output Device. Then see if you can burn it from Disk Utility, If you can't, I would suspect your optical drive.

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.

How can I burn a dvd now that I can't download premiere pro cs6 with Encore?

How can I burn a dvd now that I can't download premiere pro cs6 with Encore?

Here's what you do to get Premiere CS6 + Encore:
Just click here (it's the same link as the more information link in CC.)
or
Go to your Creative Cloud application (on the menu bar) and go to Adobe Premiere CC and click more information
There is a dropdown menu that says "Adobe Premiere Pro CC" near the top.
Click it and the other option is "Adobe Premiere Pro CS6." Select that.
Now on the top right corner of the page it has a download button that says "Download Adobe Premiere Pro CS6."
It is included in your CC subscription.
However, a word of warning, you cannot use Adobe Dynamic Link to link to a Premiere CC sequence directly in Encore. A CS6 sequence still works fine, but if you have a CC project, you will need to encode your sequence into a DVD friendly format (MPEG2 file). I'm really hoping that Adobe changes this in their upcoming release, and just adds the ability to import CC sequences into Encore, then I would be fine with them not including it in the normal CC package, or updating it. But I haven't seen anything about it in the release notes.
A lot of people still want their DVDs and it's a lot easier to just dynamically link the sequence.

Downloaded the Combo Update (other than the one intended for 'early 2011 MBP', and it will not run on this computer. Says something like it is not authorized, or not intended for this computer. Did re-run the update for 'early 2011 MBPs' same result. Was able to solve the font display issue, but not the incorrect icon issue, and FaceTime will not run at all. Says it is not designed for the OS I have on this computer, and will not even start. I have tried to go to the AppStore, just to see if I can download the latest version - no dice. Won't let me download it. Says FT already installed on this computer. Tried deleting FT, and then downloading - same message. ?????

Can I burn a DVD with Leopard?

I just purchased a new MacPro and it should arrive in about 2 weeks. A simple question. Can I burn a DVD using the OS or do I need a seperate software package to do this?
I haven't used a MAC in about 20 years so I am a "newbie".

You can burn a data DVD with Leopard's Finder:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8398.html
or Disk Utility:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8729.html
and the Mac Pro also ships with iDVD which supports up to 2 hours on a 4.7 GB DVD, and over 3 hours on an 8.4 GB Dual Layer DVD.
Since I'm not as familiar with iDVD, you may want to post your question here if you plan on using it:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=128
Other movie DVD software made by third parties offer additional capabilities.
