Can't burn a dvd even in DVD creator pro??? What's up?

I'm trying to burn a video that I made in iMovie. I open the app DVD Creator Pro- Burn DVD. Everytime I insert a blank DVD, iTunes opens up and says...
You’ve inserted a blank DVD. To burn items on the DVD, select the playlist that contains the items you want to burn, and then choose File > Burn Playlist to Disc.  If you haven’t yet created the playlist, choose File > New > Playlist, then drag items from your library to the playlist.
I don't have my Video saved in iTunes so why does my blank dvd open up there???
I tried burning it in my DVD Creator Pro, and I get an error every time.
Thank you
Cinda

Make sure that in the System/CDs & DVDs preference pane you don't have iTunes selected to open when you insert a blank DVD.

  • Can not Burn CD/DVD after update to 10.6.7

    Since I have updated to 10.6.7 from 10.6.6, I can't burn a DVD or CD in the Super drive. I switched back to 10.6.6 and everything worked, switching back to 10.6.7, no burning can happen. The burn file locks and would not allow the lock to be removed from the "Get Info" in the file sec. Any solution? please help

    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't burn a DVD without Administrator Rights

    Hi,
    We don't allow our users to run with administrator rights on our domain.  If we take away the admin rights, they can't burn a DVD, but if I do a RunAs Administrator on Premiere Elements, they can.  How can I run P.E. without admin rights so they can burn a DVD?  We are running Windows XP SP3, 32bit mode.  Thanks.

    Aside from Hunt's idea of writing the output to a folder and using the free Imgburn to write to a disc (have you tried that?) you have just run up against one of the design limitations of all flavors of Premiere... Elements and the various versions of Premiere Pro
    The products are simply not DESIGNED to run in a network environment... they are meant to be used by one user on one computer, with full rights to be able to use all functions
    I don't know what to suggest, but you may need to find a different product, if Hunt's suggestion does not work for you
    Do note that I do NOT work for Adobe... but I've been reading these forums for many years, and the answers I've seen have all been the same... the products just are not designed to, and do not work in a network environment
    Even using PPro/Encore CS5, due to Win7 settings, whereI am the owner and only user of the software, I must right click the Encore icon and select Run as Administrator when I want to create a dual layer DVD... but not when I'm creating a single layer DVD
    For your situation... I've never seen a solution other than full Administrator rights to use all program functions

  • 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.

    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 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.

  • 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 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.

    At 98% media encoding the DVD is spit out and I get the following:  internal software error:/premiere/elements/molecules/pre-mediacore/External/AuthorScript/Source
    Any suggestions? I need the video for a class this week!

    ATR,
    Thank you for the reply and suggestions. I did some more researching and found a suggestion to remove the stop marker at the end of my video....and it worked! Apparently the stop marker causes an internal error. Mystery solved.
    Thank you again for the ideas. I'm going to keep them on file for the next burn hic-up.

    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
    Is this an external or internal burner?
    Would you say that this is a case of "it worked before but not now" or "it never worked before"?
    Although you cannot burn to disc DVD, can you burn your Timeline to folder. If so, the VIDEO_TS Folder from the burn to folder + ImgBurn to get your DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc may be your answer to this time crunch.
    Let us start here and then decide what next depending on your answers.
    Next step may be getting more information about your project settings and properties of your source media.
    Could you post a screenshot of the error message that you are getting?
    More details in the morning when we will be watch for your follow up.
    Thanks.

  • Color corrections don't get processed when burned in DVD Studio Pro

    I am working on an FCP project that has alot of darkened day for night clips. I export using compressor at best quality, and project looks great in viewer in DVD Studio Pro, but for some reason when I burn the final DVD and watch it, all the darkness changes are gone, and the footage is in it's original state. What is causing this? How can I burn a DVD that looks like what I am exporting?? Other thing is that when I burn a quicktime of the same project to a DVD using toast, the color changes remain, and they look more accurate- I thought Quicktime would be lower quality than Compressor?

    I have acutaly been using this technique on a recent project, and have a few additional observations:
    One is that, even if you use a black background in your menu, and map your button colors to black, not all players generate the overlay colors the same way, and the black patches sometimes appear lighter then the background, particularly on software players, since computers are generating RGB vs. YUV.
    Another detail is that when a button is activated, the overlays disappear, and all the button graphics embedded in the background are visible while the player switches to the new menu. I have however used the following workaround for this: Generally players will display a freeze frame of the background of the menu while switching to the jump target, usually the first frame or loop point of a menu with motion assets. By creating each menu as an animation where the buttons fade up in the first few frames, I can create a "clean" background for use as the freeze frame displayed during the switch.
    This particular disc hhas a tight bit budget, and lots of menus, and so I am creating very short motion assets (1 second) and setting them to "still" at end. I haven't acutally checked this on a player yet, to see whter the still or the beginning of the asset gets used as the freeze frame, I'll post back with the answer after I have tested it.

  • Can you create a DVD studio pro project from a DVD?

    I have inherited a DVD project that needs updated.  I have the original DVD that was burned, but the DVD studio pro project that was used to map and make it does not exist.  I only want to add to the DVD.  Is it possible to take a DVD that was burned in DVD studio Pro and open it so that you see the layout and links in studio pro and copy that DVD as a project?  Or am I stuck remaking the dvd with links and buttons etc. from scratch?
    Thanks for your help.

    >>Is it possible to take a DVD that was burned in DVD studio Pro and open it so that you see the layout and links in studio pro and copy that DVD as a project?
    No.
    You can extract the disc's video content using MPEG Streamclip. I have a tutorial here... http://www.secondchairvideo.com/?p=739

  • DVD is Not Burning in DVD Studio Pro

    DVD is Not Burning in DVD Studio Pro 4.2.0

    I used build and format approach. Both discs play fine on computer platforms, but not on a consumer DVD connected to the TV. Normally I have no problem. I checked and rechecked several times all the preferences for Studio Pro. The only thing I noticed was instead of generating a Video and Audio TS file, it generated one HVDVD_TS file. Is this the issue? If so,where do I correct this (in the settings)?
    Thanks
