Can't Burn a .img file

iDVD file plays fine on Mac. File is a video transferred from VHS to iMovie, then made into iDVD file, with added scrolling block comments and one picture. The burn process completes the "Processing" step, but gives a message and hangs up without burning the .img file. The message is: "The selected folder contains no pictures. To see a slide show screen saver, add pictures to your picture folder, or choose a new folder that contains pictures in desktop and Screen Saver preferences".
What's this?

  • Can I view a .img file?

    I've made a .img file to burn DVDs with. I thought I read somewhere that I could view the file (on my computer, similiar to viewing a DVD). Am I making that up? Or is there a way to view a finished iDVD project more accurately than the "Preview" mode? I'd appreciate any help with this.

    This should help you:
    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. 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 5 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.)

  • Can I burn a .mov file directly to DVD?

    How do I burn my QT movie to a DVD so that the resulting DVD movie can be played back with QT?
    It is only 2GB in size, so should not need compressing.
    QT 7.6.4 simply does not play the video once it is on DVD.
    What am I missing?

    I'm not quite sure how Movie and QT Movie differ, since they both have the .mov file extension name.
    The MOV, MP4, and M4V file extensions refer to the container in which the data is stored. MOV, for instance, is a generic file container which can contain up to 99 tracks of compatible data. In the case of audio and video content, that means any compression format compatible with whatever codec components you have installed on your system to include third-party components. You can place WMV, DivX, or even "muxed" MPEG-1 data in an MOV container. On the other hand, an MP4 container is normally limited to MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC audioi/video content which normally opens using the QT Player. The M4V container is even more specific --normally limited to H.264/AAC or H.264/AAC/AC3 content which automatically opens in iTunes when double-clicked (assuming you have not changed the opening application yourself). The same H.264/AAC data placed in any of these file containers will play equally well. However, owing to differences, in the container itself, they may appear to have differing file sizes or possess differing file characteristics. However, as mentioned above the A/V data is exactly the same in each. In fact, using the "Save As.." command on either the MP4 or H.264 file will save the active A/V content of that file in an MOV file container.
    Now how should I burn this QT Movie to DVD to get best quality?
    As previously stated, the easiest way is to place the file in a "Burn" folder and press the "Burn" button. This action simply copies the file(s) in the folder to your optical media without changing the file at all. You can also burn "data" discs using the Disk utility included in the Utility Folder but using the burn folder is an automated Finder feature that burns media without having to open a dedicated application.
    Toast is obviously out, since it takes the resolution down and changes the ratio aspect. Burn with Finder does not make a dvd that is playable on a dvd player... Does this mean I should use iDVD, or is there a better option?
    Here you have to make a decision. Commercial DVD players do not support HD content. You can either "author" a DVD in an application like Toast or iDVD and have it converted to SD content (the standard 720x480 VIDEO_TS VOB files) or you create an HD file that plays back in HD but only on your computer using one of the QT-based player applications. You can't have it both ways. If your files must be HD and play on a commercial player, then buy a Blu-Ray player, buy a Blu-Ray burner, and then use the Toast 10 High-Def/Blu-Ray plug-in to create either short HD DVDs or Blu-Ray discs that will play your HD content in HD on your new commercial Blu-Ray player. This is not, however, what you originally asked how to do and the HD content will not be QT compatible.

  • Can't burn my artwork files with my music onto CD WHY?

    I am a musician, so when I want burn a disc of all my tracks from my own playlist, for my friends and family, I want to burn my original artwork files (which are all jpgs, pngs, gifs or tiffs so they should be compatible), onto the CD as well! I have already created my own original artwork which is in the playlist, but when I come to burn a copy of my music, it doesn't burn any of the artwork files that are in the playlist! I thought iTunes '09 new version, was supposed to be an improvement from the last versions for more flexibility and creative control for users. This obviously is NOT the case. I would like any correspondence from Apple or technical help as to why I can't do this because it's so frustrating and very annoying. iTunes isn't all that, that Apple claims it to be if it is this inflexible creatively! Surely, it can't be that difficult to write in the software for this creative facility that allows us to burn our own artwork files on to CD's along with our music? I would appreciate any comments you may have regarding this design fault. Anyone with any reasons as to why Apple have NOT addressed this problem? I am so disappointed with this lack of flexibility for musicians alike.

    Hi to everyone that replied and many thanks for your input.
    I have bought well known and established artists CD's containing their music, track lists and artwork files from branded retailers. When I have loaded them into iTunes, it automatically loaded the artwork files FROM the CD I bought, so all that nonsense about audio CD's having nothing but audio isn't accurate. No, they were not DVD's either. I will endeavor to find a software package that CAN do what I need as an independent artist. iTunes just doesn't cut the mustard for me, even though it's free. I do know about issues with copyright and artists protection, but there should be something that can be done or made in iTunes, so it doesn't infringe copyright of artists, but can be used by artists like myself without the software being abused by freeloaders. Oh well, maybe when I'm too old for this malarkey...

  • Can PE9 burn Blu-ray files to DVD?

    I do not have a Blu-ray burner and do not anticipate getting one for a year or two.  I was not able to burn or copy Blu-ray files in PE7 and ask if it can be done in PE9.  I did download the trial version of Sony Vegas HD Movie Studio Suite and was able to burn the Blu-ray files to the hard drive and to a DVD; that DVD played brilliantly on both Samsung and LG Blu-ray players.  I have a lot invested in Premier over the years and would prefer to upgrade.
    The machine is 2.67ghz dual core, 4gb of RAM and a 500gb RAID 0 hard drive with more than 175gb free.

    Lots of other posts on this subject in this forum
    Yes it can - but
    My first attempt played on other players except my new Pioneer player. (Full HD)
    The video on the disk was perfect on my computer.
    I copied the file produced on the Blue Ray disk and used a simple authoring program (PowerProducer that cam with my burner) to burn another disk.
    This plays perfectly in everything.
    The only thing I can think of is that my LG player can write at 8x but I only had 4x blank disks (they are much cheaper). PE9 does not have any speed setting so perhaps the "grooves" werent burnt deep enough??
    or the name of the main folder on a PE9 burnt disk is different - maybe my player did not like it??
    I have a similar computer setup to you except you definately need at least 2 hard drives. The video on one and the project on a second one.
    You need a good fast video card for HD smooth preview, not just the one on the motherboard.
    Also look at recent posts on memory settings for resources.
    I split my raid up to 2 seperate disks and installed a third large disk for video capture files
    OS & PE9 on C
    Video on E
    Project and adove cache files on F
    LG computer burner is available for around $100

  • How can I burn a QT file to a CD or CD ROM?

    I'm doing a job for someone who wants me to convert some of his digitally transferred movie footage to a Quicktime file and put onto a disk - in order for him to do his own editing on his computer.
    At first I was going to create the QT file and import it into iDVD, where I would then format the title page to have just one "Play Movie" button.
    For his editing purposes, is this the way to go? Or do I need to purchase any particular video CD - where he can bypass the DVD's title page and go straight to the QT file?
    Any advice would be most appreciated.

    Am now in the process of exporting Quicktime to create data DVDs (later to be used for editing in iMovie). I've already created one DVD that's approximately 20 minutes in duration, and it seems to work fine when I drag and drop the Quicktime .dv file from the DVD icon to the desktop.
    When go to export from iMovie, the dropdown menu gives me "Camera", "Quicktime", and "iDVD". Once I select Quicktime, the next dropdown menu gives me several Quicktime formats to choose from: 1) Web Movie, small 2) Email Movie, small 3) Streaming Web Movie, small 4) CD-ROM Movie, medium 5) Full Quality, large and 6) Expert
    At first I tried using #5 (Full Quality) but never had enough room to drag the QT file into the DVD, so I went to #3 (Streaming Web Movie), and it worked. Burned it onto a DVD and so far life is good.
    Afterwards I tried to export iMovie to QT #4 (CD-ROM, medium) just out of curiosity, and the resolution on this version of QT appeared sharper.
    My question is: Since the guy will be editing this to create DVD's for his family, before I burn any more DVDs...should I stick with Quicktime #3 (Streaming Web Movie, small), or QT #4 (CD-ROM, medium)?

    Can someone running Windows on a PC burn a DVD from the .img I create in DVDSP?

    Yuo can use OSX Disk Utility (in your Applications > Utilities folder) to convert the img image to ISO image. PCs will burn ISO images fine.

  • Can't open .img file

    I can't open a .img file on my Mac running Snow Leopard. I've tried opening it with Stuffit Expander, the default DiskImageMounter, and Disk Utility. I get an error message "The following disk image could not be opened" The reason "not recognized". I tried changing the extension to .dmg. So far nothing works. What gives? This was never a problem in previous OS X versions. It could be a corrupt file? Its a firmware update for a wireless router that I'm trying to open. I had this happen before and Stuffit Expander did the trick, but not this time. Suggestions? Reasons this is happening now?

    What exactly are you expecting the file to be? There are actually five completely different file types that all use the .img extension:
    http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/img
    If it's an image file created in ancient times by ShrinkWrap, it's apparently not easily openable on Mac OS X. I found a couple posts from 8 years ago indicating that Roxio Toast and Stuffit Deluxe could open them... whether this is still the case is anyone's guess. Remember that 8 years ago, Mac OS X was brand new and most people were still using Mac OS 9 or earlier. Things have changed very significantly since then.

  • Error message when burning .img file

    I got this message when trying to burn a .img file: "Unable to burn "disk 4" - the device failed to respond properly . unable to recover or re-try.
    this happened twice in a row, I suppose that means it wasnt a defective DVD (using verbatim)
    I am running Tiger 10.4.7 with a Dual 1.8 Gz Processor.

    Hi there
    It would appear you are trying to furnish an image and you are trying that by replying via email with the image either embedded or as an attachment.
    Unfortunately those don't survive the trip into the forum post. If you have an image to show, please visit the forum web page where you started this thread and use the camera icon to insert the image.

  • Burning error, can only burn 3 minutes of video on disk.

    I have wasted 6 disks by now. The burning ends much earlier than normal, then got a message saying burning/? ( sorry can't remmber) error.
    The disk still can be played but it contains only 2'50-3'00 of video. Tried other projects, same results.
    I got this problem after burning a few photo CDs, does this matter?
    Also from the very beginning of my experience with iDVD, I have been having a problem with audio encodeing, many times the programmes just stopped when encoding audio and I had to force quit. But next time it may go through without any trouble, I mean the same imovie project. Confused!
