Converting home burned dvd's

i was wondering if anyone knows how to get dvd's i burned on my dvd recorder on my ipod. i use videora, but it doesn't work for some reason.

Imagine that "Videora" not working. You and half the world. Never touched it. When I saw that it was "patched" together from other freeware programs (ffmpeg and AVISnyth) I knew it was doomed. Go here and get one that works by a company that knows what they are doing.

  • Converting and burning DVD from NTSC to PAL

    I have created a DVD using iMovie (6.0.2) and iDVD (6.0.2) using NTSC format. I want to share a copy of the DVD with relatives oversees and I have been trying to create/convert a DVD formatted for PAL. I have not had any success!! These are the steps I have used:
    1. Under PREFERENCES, I selected 25 fps
    2. A message window came up indicating the original iMoive file was converted from 29.97 fps (NTSC) to 25 fps (PAL)
    3. I Selected Save As and saved the converted iMovie file at 25 fps as a different file
    3. I Opened the Saved iMovie file under iMoive checking that the PREFERENCES was set at 25 fps
    4. Export from iMovie (full quality) the movie (I have selected 25 fps under PREFERENCES prior to exporting
    5. Import the movie file I just exported and then set the chapter markers and save the new movie in iMovie
    6. SHARE the new movie and select iDVD
    7. When iDVD opens, I check the PREFERENCEES and it has PAL set in the preferences and also has PAL selected under Poject Info
    8. I set up all the themes, fonts, etc. to customize my DVD
    9. I then select BURN DVD and I get the following message: "TV Standard Conflict? It seems that we are burning a NTSC movie on a PAL disc. Proceed with burning?
    ANY Suggestions or Advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello Morris,
    you do not actually have to convert your iMovie NTSC project to PAL before burning in iDVD. just go to iDVD preferences and select PAL as new standard, then create a new project and import your NTSC iMovie. iDVD will do the standard conversion AND encoding.
    the NTSC/PAL conversion done in iDVD, however, doesn't produce the best results - give it a try though, but if you're not satisfied with the DVD's quality, consider getting JES Deinterlacer to do the standard conversion. this software can handle directly the reference movie stored in your project and will output the converted movie to the same location, so when you open your iDVD project, it will be in your media pane
    JES Deinterlacer is freeware and you can find it here:

  • Can't mount home burned dvd-rw

    At one point things were fine. I could mount my dvd-rw with .avi files on them. I had burned them myself and could watch them with Quicktime & flip4mac. Now the dvd's won't mount. The Mac says they are blank dvd's. What is up with that? I am trying this on the PowerBook G4.

    David Pogue wrote about this, he's had trouble with DVDs being that age (4 years & under) not reading anymore! try a different computer - newer mac or PC, if one is available to you.

  • Putting home burned dvd's on ipod

    i have TiVo connected to my TV and i have a DVD burner, so I like to burn TV shows and sports. when i try to decrypt those dvd's it doesn't read. does anyone know of a free dcryper that works.

    They aren't encrypted.
    You simply need something to RIP the DVD to your hard drive.
    Have you tried using TiVoToGo? This allows you to connect your TiVo directly to your computer. No need to burn to DVD to get it on your computer.

  • Home burned DVD keeps kicking out

    I have a recent 2010-2011 iMac and so does my sister.  She burned a DVD with hundreds of photos on it in iPhoto and sent it to me.  At the time she was given a prompt that it would be a Mac-only read.  I pop it in mine and it thinks for a few minutes.....never shows up on the desktop....then kicks it back out. 
    I've put in a DVD movie and that plays fine.
    Any ideas?  Was it the way it was burned?  I can see the imprint on the back of the disk so there appears to be something on it.

    Yes, it kicks me out of Safari and Maps. Both are web apps. A really large page in Safari seems to kick me out most frequently. (Ironically, the Engadget in depth iPhone review is particualy bad in this regard.)
    I have been kicked out of iPod but only when I was running Safari. That could be a coincidence, or not. Too soon for me to tell. But I can watch a 1 hour video podcast without interruption, so I suspect it is the web connection that is involved.
    It recovers gracefully from these crashes, but they happen fairly frequently and it is still frustrating. I assume this will be high priority for thm to fix.

  • Trying to watch a home-burned DVD on my Mac Pro.

    When I pop this DVD in (which works fine on Windows), the Mac Pro freezes and I get a message in 4 languages saying I "must restart" by holding down the power button. Once I do this, and restart it, I get the same freeze/error message. Any ideas how a dvd could cause this?

    OS X 10.6.6 Snow leopard.
    Hi there, I have been experiencing this problem on and off with various media types (originally I had issues burning to any disc - cd or dvd- I upgraded to Snow leopard, and the problem was fixed).
    Now i'm having issues READING home-burned DVD-R's, DVD-RW's ( I avoid using DVD+R's). Commercial dvd's load fine. I can burn to blank DVD fine. I have cleaned the internal DVD drive with a VCD cleaner, and tried resetting the SMC (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964).
    I use an LG dvd recorder at home. The discs I use are SONY DVD-R and DVD-RW. These play without error on the LG dvd player.
    However when I try to load the burned discs into the mac, the drive makes a whirring sound and spits out the discs within 10 secs. These are new discs with no scratches etc. I have tried setting the CD&DVD system prefs differently (opening the dvd in disk utility, finder etc) to no avail. I tried both finalizing the discs and un-finalizing them on the DVD player.
    This is driving me nuts as I am a film student and need to access my burned dvds!
    note: I recently had my computer serviced in the last 6months as the hard-drive failed (I live in Christchurch, NZ and the computer was damaged in the Sept 2010 quake). The comp was relatively undamaged in the more recent Feb 22nd 2011 quake, but because of the shaking, could there have been substantial damage to the internal disc drive in this case??
    any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers

    Not sure what else may be the cause of the issue; but if there's
    a chance of other hardware damage after an earthquake, it
    may be wise to have someone check over the computer.
    {I've asked this post be moved to the Intel-based iMac forum, yet the issue
    is likely a generic one not limited to a build model vintage of computer. My
    name's avatar is of the representative PowerPC iMac G4, of this forum area.}
    For general disc burning, I use a small free-ware utility that makes it clear
    what I may be getting; of course it makes quick work and the other methods
    function correctly on my Macs... see http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/ and use
    it with the setting for it to make discs that will work in Mac + PC. Worth a look.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I need to know the best, safest way to convert video for Mac.  I just had home movies converted to a DVD format a realize now that I need another step to burn them to my computer.

    I just had home movies converted to a DVD format a realize now that I need another step to burn them to my computer.  This is for a Christmas present!  Help.

    I don't think you need to use a ripper program to read a home movie DVD. Those are primarily for copy-protected commercial DVDs, right?
    I think you just need to transcode the DVD files using a utility like Handbrake, which is free and fast.

  • How can I convert my imovie from ipad to burn dvd on PC

    I have produced a 30 minute video for my son's football team using Imovie on my ipad.  I do not have an apple computer and need to convert the imovie to my PC in order to burn DVD's.  This process seems impossible.  I have read many forums and am trying to export the project to my camera roll, however the process never completes itself.  It will export for literally hours without completing the process.  This project have taken me weeks to complete, mainly because the process is very slow with imovie and extremely frustating.  Now, I'm ready to finish up and am so worried I will never get it off my ipad.  What do I do??

    NO files larger that 500mb (which is **** near any video)  will not transfer!
    At: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    It incorrectly state this:
    "Windows XP cannot import video files larger than 500 MB using Camera and Scanner Wizard. You can transfer these files directly from your device by selecting them in My Computer and dragging or copying the movie files to your computer's hard drive."
    Problem is that NO videos are shown as I open my ipad up in "My Computer", only photographs I have taken
    THIS INSANE.  You put Hign Def Video camera on the IPAD and NO simple way to get the you home made videos of it?  Search this topic "transfer video from ipad to computer"  you get NO help.  the only responses are from people hocking there "computer programs that will do it"  or "apps" that transfer files. 
    Apple here is the reality. At this point, regarding computers, PC is King...get it?  We do not all have apple computers to go along with our ipads.  ... So incase i need to break it down for you....YOU NEED TO HAVE A EASY WAY TO REMOVE VIDEOS FROM AN IPAD TO A FREAKIN PC...
    I am not sure what is most amazing:
    -ipad designers not seeing this as a problem
    -the lies at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 that discuss easy it is to simply open up "my computer" and drag an drop
    -ignorant people responding to several other people with my same simple problem with stupid response like "so you want to put a video on your ipad, you do that thru itunes" or "gosh it's been a while since i did this but its real easy, i think..."
    There are not even any you tube videos on the subject... Am I in Bizzaro World here????

  • Video converting and burning home videos

    Do anyone know the best program to convert my sonyhandycam video files and then what software I should use to burn these home videos onto a DVD? Sony's software is not compatible with Mac and iMovie won't recognize them! iDVD is not on my Mac (just purchased a few weeks ago)!!

    The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that nothing could be further from the truth has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD.

  • I want to use my home dvd player to burn dvds/cds onto my MacBook Air. Please help!?

    I want to use my home dvd player to burn dvds/cds onto my MacBook Air. I have an hdmi cord with thunderbolt connector. Where do I go from here?

    Apps for OSX aren't in iTunes: they are in the App Store in your Applications folder. The payment method is the one registered in iTunes. There's no app actually called Yoga Studio, though there are several Yoga apps. There is an iOS app called Yoga Studio but it appears to have no OSX equivalent, though I haven't done a detailed search.

  • I have made several iMovies.  Can the DVD be converted or Burned to view on regular tv?

    I have made several iMovies of family.  Can these DVD's be converted or Burned so that they can be viewed on regular tv?

    Hi
    There are two kinds of DVDs that You can burn on Your Mac
    • Data-DVD - DVD is on deskTop/Finder and You put files on it - This will not play on ANY DVD-Player at all. It's a Data-DVD
    • Video-DVD - Here You use iDVD or other DVD encoding program and add movies, photos and audio then when iDVD ask You to - Insert a new blanc DVD - Now iDVD will encode and burn material to this to result in a Video-DVD that should play on most DVD-Players
    So dragging material to the DVD indicates - wrong way to do it.
    In iMovie - Do not use Share to iDVD but "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (Not HD or other res. as quality will drop)
    In iDVD import movie/s from Media button / Movies. (Do not go back to iMovie/FinalCut as this will trigger iDVD to set of the iDVD-BUG when returned here. If You must! Then start a brand new iDVD project.)
    Yours Bengt W

  • Burned DVDs skip on some Home Players

    I know this is a topic that has been thrown around for some time, but is there any new info out there that can help the playback on the DVD home players that skip when you play burned DVD's (DVD-R & DVD+R). A group of us are trying to fix this problem. We have used different brands of DVD's as well.
    One person suggested changing the bit Rate???
    What do you know???

    supposedly the DVD standard says bitrates of up to 10 Mbps are allowed. in practice, standalone players don't handle this. particilarly older players have problems.
    first, the bitrate is the total (video + audio + subtitles). i had a video (miniDV) which i imported into FCP4 did some minor editing and sent it off to Compressor 2.0.1. in the MPEG4 panel, if i used anything higher than 6.5 for the peak bitrate for video, the disk would not work on a playstation 2 (the audio part i used dolby and it was only stereo). same dvd worked fine on Macs, XP and an high end dvd player.
    so, yeah, the solution is to make sure the bitrate doesn't exceed 6.5Mbps. it also helps to burn at a slower speed (perhaps) and to use decent media (i've been using both TDK and Fujifilm w/o problems).

  • Copying Home video DVD, converting PAL to NTSC

    I have a home video DVD in PAL format that I would like to convert to NTSC. I have tried to look up the settings in Disk Utility but that was no help.
    Can this be done through iMovie? I don't have FCP so I understand I'm at a big disadvantage here. Any help?
