CD burning program for Gnome?

Hi,
I'm just looking for an easy to use cd burning program for Gnome.
Anybody inhere that can recommend any programs?
Sincerely, Jorgen

I tried both and they are nice (I especially like graveman) but neither seems to support overburning. I had a data CD that was 701mb and they refused to write it.
Is there any way around this? If I can figure this out I can finally get rid of k3b.

Looking for an advanced configuration program for Gnome

Hi there,
I had once found a program to configure gnome in an advanced way. Like applications opening on a specific workspaces for instance, but it could do plenty of other things. I just can't find the name of this program anymore. Anyone have an idea??
Thanks

Cannot set default programs for a file extension in Gnome

After a gnome upgrade (cannot remember when), I can no longer set the default program for a particular file extension by right clicking the file in nautilus -> going to "properties" -> going to "open with" tab -> highlighting a program -> pressing "set as default".

The program I was trying to set was totem for default video playback; wine had made windows media player the default player prior. Interestingly, once I installed gnome-mplayer; the default program changed to gnome-mplayer and I was then able to switch default programs. This error may be related to wine.

What's the best replacement program for idvd to burn dvd's, what's the best replacement program for idvd to burn dvd's

What is the best dvd burning program to replace idvd? i'm trying to burn good quality DVD's from imovie.

There is no truly "best" replacement - I haven't found one that can do what iDVD can (customizable menus/themes).
You can still purchase the retail iLife 11 disk which includes iDVD from online resellers, ebay, and Amazon. I've seen it there for as little as $25; Apple no longer offers it - I'm assuming they ran out of stock. I purchased it because I use it extensively and wanted to make sure I can reinstall if necessary.
The closest alternative would be Roxio Toast ($$); excellent burning app (plus a slew of other things), I use it, but its' menu choices are not acceptable to me.

Blank CDs not recognized by burning programs [SOLVED]

EDIT: By some divine intervention, the computer just started recognizing my blank CDs, I have no idea why it just started working, but it did!
Hi all, got a new laptop recently (Dell Vostro 1320) but burning programs don't let me choose a "destination drive", as if one doesn't exist. However, if I insert an acutal DVD, vlc-player will run it just fine. If I insert a blank disk, under gnome's "places" an option for Blank CD shows up, but when I click it, nothing seems to happen. How can I make burning programs recognize the existence of my drive? perhaps its not pointed in the right direction? I have brasero and graveman.
Here is my policy file for HAL
<config version="0.1">
<match user="tom">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
</config>
I also have my CD/DVD lines commented out in /etc/fstab
#/dev/sr0 /media/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
#/dev/cdrom /media/cd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
#/dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /media/fl auto user,noauto 0 0
NOTE: I've tried playing around with fstab, commenting, uncommenting, but to no level of success. Please let me know if you need me to post more outputs.
I will try to post some more information about my burning program preferences.
Thanks for your help, and hopefully, it can be resolved!

fstab wont help you at all - that's for reading, not writing.
I know zip about brasero et al, but cdrecord/wodim should be ok to use.
Most probably, your cd will be /dev/sr0 and to burn an iso-image you do something like this:
cdrecord -v driveropts=burnfree dev=/dev/sr0 -dao -eject -data /name/of/iso/image
I hope you realize that cd/dvd-burning is mostly a matter of transferring a whole image, you can't really use it as a 'normal' filesystem (at least as far as writing is concerned).
I guess someone will jump down my throat and tell me it is possible - and it is ... though not in the usual way of using a filesystem ...

Are there any legit DVD authoring programs for Mavericks?

Seems like Apple is just done with optical media... which is probably about a decade early.
In any case, does anyone have a legit (as in I won't be beta testing software for 3 days) / simple program for authorizing DVDs.

I was unaware until yesterday that FCPX could burn a basic DVD. We will give this a try.
None of us are pros... so we're just creating archives of things we import into iMovie presently. But we just invested in a new Mac Pro, so it's definitely time to look at FCPX and figure out how we can leverage its capabilities... We need a workflow that is simple and can be followed off of a ilst of instructions. ... Thus, we've defaulted to iMovie. I'll have to spend some time on Lynda and get it figured out.
I was sure that when I brought in iDVD onto the new Mac Pro it would work, but something is failing someplace, between the new Mac Pro, Mavericks, iDVD, the LG Blu-ray burner, and our standard DVDs.
Anyway, I appreciate your suggestions and your time.

And this "Macblurayplayer" program does not seem to have that suport for my BR-player (that also says it is compatible with my mac).

Which DVD Burn Software for Blu-ray from Folder

Per the recommendation in Steve Grisetti's PrE11 book, I would like to burn to a folder and then to DVD and/or BD-R. However, based upon the Adware problems with downloading ImgBurn, it does not appear to be the way to go at this time. I understand using Custom install on their "options", but it appears that even the most knowledgeable people sometimes get caught.
Therefore, what is the recommended software for burning DVDs and Blu-ray DVDs from a folder (for those that don't have old versions of ImgBurn). I will purchase software if that is the best route.

Ed
I do not endorse any particular program (up for purchase) for the task of taking video files to DVD-VIDEO, AVCHD format, or Blu-ray disc format on disc. Note that I wrote Nero or program like Nero. One of the app of the Nero program is the "Nero Burning Rom". Use that in your google search. That is the app in a Nero version that you should need for your task. If interested in Nero for this feature, please check out the Nero web page for the versions that have the Burning Rom and the associated price after you have looked at the tryout. The following is a how to for Burning Rom feature
http://ftp6.nero.com/user_guides/nero2015/burningrom/NeroBurningRom_en-US.pdf
There are other programs on the market that can accomplish the task. Nero products have a long history of often competing with other programs for the burner, but I have not run into that issue using an OEM version that came with one of my computer burners. All the Burning Rom should be doing is taking your files already in the DVD-VIDEO or BDMV structure to disc, not creating those structures.
In spite of what you have read, I do not consider Premiere Elements burn to folder to be a "native" approach/route to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc. I see that only as a troubleshooting alternative when the user experiences unsolved Premiere Elements burn to disc issues. Have you run into problems with the Premiere Elements burn to disc - burner not recognized and/or media not present/other?
Looking forward to learning of further developments.

Is Premiere Pro CS3 the right program for me?

Is Premiere Pro CS3 the right program for me?
I am looking for a program that I can:
Import files that were recorded on a DVR (mp4 format)
Take two files placed next to each other on one screen and record a DVD
| | | |
| | | |
| image one | | image two |
| | | |
|______________| |_______________|
Also export the files to other file formats, AVi, MOV

Dave,
Premiere can do a PiP, Picture in Picture (basically, your PiP is one half of the frame), BUT your MP4 source is not the best to edit, especially with PP. If you had DV-AVI files, Captured in PP from a miniDV (tape) vid-cam, it would do a great job, but so would its little brother Premiere Elements, which wants the same source files as PP.
I have not used Womble, that Jeff recommends, but think that it has PiP. Ideally, you want to keep any re-compression down to a minimum, as you are already working with compressed MPEG files, and every additional re-compression WILL cause image degredation. Depending on the CODEC used to create your MP4 files, you have probably lost a lot of info already, and when you go to MPEG-2 (DV CODEC), for DVD, you'll loose even more. About the only way that I see you keeping any quality is if your MP4's are coded for Blu-Ray, and you can find a program with Smart Render, leaving them just as they are, allowing you to edit, then burning to a BD. Lot of "if's" in that.
I'd check out Womble and see if it can do PiP and if it works with MP4. If Jeff recommended it, it's very likely to do that. Juat expect a major quality hit, because you're already compressed the heck out of the image data once, and will have to do it again.
You could convert your MP4's to DV-AVI with a 3rd party program, Import them into PP, or PE, edit and then burn to DVD - with Encore in PP, or directly from PE. See above for comments on quality hit. It's those source files that are the problem. That format is meant for distribution/viewing and not for editing. The effect, however, is easy as can be. There are many tutorials on how to do it with variations, on the Web, but nearly all NLE programs want better source material to start, if any quality is to be maintained.
I'd also post on the Premiere Elements forum, as a lot of people there work with less than ideal source files, and might know of good free, or cheap, conversion programs to use. If you have the CODEC on your machine, DigitalMedia Converter can handle the conversion for you, and do it in batch. It's cheap at ~ US$45, and can batch process, but it cannot improve the quality, or get back the data lost in the first compression - nothing can.
If this is all you want to do, with the above comments on conversion first taken seriously, Premiere Elements will cost about US$100 and do it easily.
Sorry for the bad news,
Hunt

Suggestions on burning programs used with iMovie-quality horrible with iDVD

I have read the boards on iDVD and find myself having the same problem. I made an all photo slideshow for my husband to show clients in iMovie. I transfer it to iDVD, burn it (both using best and professional quality) and the pictures look horrible. Pixilated and grainy, not good enough to show clients. So I'm guessing the problem lies with iDVD (because it looks excellent in iMovie) does anyone have a suggestion of a burning program that is more professional quality? Or should I not be using iMovie for this kind of project at all, and do you have suggestions on a slideshow program? Thanks!!

"..One more question: You remember the spider that lived.." ..Sorry; 'Blade Runner' on the brain..
"..Can you tell me how I import into iDVD? Right now, I have selected share to iDVD in iMovie. How do I get the project into iDVD without sharing it?.."
Same as with any Mac program: you start by specifying the existing File which you want to use - in this case a movie or video - and you think what you want to do with it; in this case you want to import it into iDVD.
So in iDVD's top-line Menu, click on File, then Import, then Video... and choose the project which you were just editing:
If you were using iMovie '09 or iMovie '08, just navigate to your 'Movies' folder, and then the 'iMovie Projects' folder within that, and choose your recently-edited movie:
If you were editing with an earlier version of iMovie, just go to your 'Movies' folder and choose the movie you want.
(P.S: Just to come back to the question which Karsten asked you, above: "are both apps, iM and iDVD set to same framerate?"
iMovie and iDVD default to (will automatically be set at) NTSC 30 frames per second. For anyone in the States, that's exactly what you want. As you're in New Jersey (I assume) you won't need to make any adjustments. For anyone in European 'PAL-land' doing this, they'd first have to set iDVD's Preferences to PAL 25fps so that the frame rate in iDVD matches the frame rate of a PAL video, and then start a new iDVD project with that new 25 fps frame rate. You would NOT want to import, say, a 25fps movie into a 30fps iDVD project - or vice versa - as everything would stutter.)

Third Party Programs for Motion on Stills

Two questions:
Question 1: I am just starting with FCE but have been using Windows editing programs for a long time. I produce a lot of documentary programs that use mostly still photos with the "Ken Burns" effect. Unfortunately, I can't say that I'm especially impressed with the ease and quality with which that effect is accomplished in FCE.
In the past, I have used a stand alone/plug-in program called Moving Picture from Bill Ferster's Stage Tools to do this. Also unfortunately, his plug-in works only with Final Cut, not Express, and his stand-alone Producer application doesn't work with Intel processors on the Mac.
I have also used Imaginate from Canopus, but of course it is Windows only.
Does anybody know of another third party application, plug-in or stand-alone that will accomplish this easily in FCE witihout having to spend a bundle? I'll appreciate any information or suggestions.
Or maybe I'm just being too hard on the FCE program. I'd like to pan, zoom, and rotate, all at once with a GUI if possible. I know I'm asking a lot.
Question 2: If I am using mostly stills, both in the manner above and as stills only, and a very small amount (20%) of video, is it still important to have a separate media drive? I realize it all becomes Quick Time video in the long run, but I'm just wondering. My system drive has 500G with 412G available.
Since I have a Canon GL-1 camera would I have to download all my resources to the external drive before editing, including video and the original stills and graphics that have been processed in Photoshop?
If I need to do this, can somebody suggest a ready-to-go external firewire drive for my 24" iMac that won't break the bank? I'm going to have to buy a Canopus 110 converter also. The longest program I do is about 30 minutes. Thanks again.

Jim,
I have used Photo To Movie, $50 from LQ Graphics <http://lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php> in the past and found it relatively easy to use. The downside is you have to render/export your motion as a file to later import into FCE. Although I've done that, I now find it easier to work completely inside FCE.
If you need to make even the smallest change, it's fairly quick in FCE. But if you have to go back to PTM, you start the process over again with render/export/import.
Also, there is Pan Zoom Pro $50 from Lyric <http://www.lyric.com/fcp-plugins/panzoompro/pzp.htm>. It works as a plug in for FCE. I have it, but have not yet given it a try.
It did take some experimentation to get satisfactory movement in FCE. It does work. I don't have any problems with the quality once the motion is rendered. Here's a link to a short article by Tom Wolsky on motion control in FCE <http://www.fcpbook.com/MotionControl_inFCE.html>

DVD data recovery program for Mac?

h'lo all
I've burned a Memorex DVD+R DL on my old G5. It burned and verified just fine, but it won't mount on my new MacPro (or any longer on the G5). All of the data recovery programs that are specifically for DVD data recovery seem to be PC only.
Does anyone know of a Mac (OS X) program for DVD data recovery?
thanks

Prosoft Data Rescue II, Subrosasoft Filesalvage, and Boomerang's Boomerang may be able to extract data from the DVD. Make sure the drive in question is capable of reading the DL media burnt at the speed you burnt your disk, and faster. http://www.macsales.com/ has Firewire DVD drives that are among the fastest Mac compatible drives in the market.

Best DVD Burning Software for My Powerbook

I just got a burner and was curious as to what the best software for burning was?

The point is Popcorn does two things - compresses non-protected DVD media to fit a single DVD and some file conversions many of which you can cover with QT pro or MPEG Streamclip.
Toast 7 does as well plus is a full service DVD /CD writiing program. Popcorn came out while Toast 6 existed which did not compress.
For some reason Roxio still pitches Popcorn 2 and tries to sell it relentlessly to Toast 7 owners at a discount, which makes no sense. Since Toast 7 has the technology. I guess I should not be surprised as Roxio still pitches the new Toast 7 to people who already upgraded at a discount to Toast 7. From Roxio.
As for a DVD burning program, it is not that at all - it is a MPEG-2 compressor and that is the extent of its value other than file conversions. You cannot make data discs or anything else since that would limit sales of Toast 7.
The OP wanted a DVD burning program not a one hit wonder. Too bad you bought Popcorn, no need to flog it to people who want better.

How to install only Roxio CD Burner Program from the Recovery CDs?

I bought a T400 a few weeks ago in Korea.
But my company uses English, so I had to install a Windows XP English version.
However, at that time I lost the Roxio software.
I have the recovery CDs for T400 Windows XP PRO SP2.
If it is possible, then please let me know how to install only Roxio CD Burner Programs from the Recovery CDs.
Thanks.

Hello,
unfortunately it´s not possible to install just one program from recovery cd´s.
But on Lenovo support pages, there you should find your software and applications.
Please visit with IE and let autodetect your system.
Then you should able to choose which type of software is availible for you.
Choose CD and DVD drives.
Hopefully the T400 department is up to date now.
