Cs3 and dvd burner program

Hi,
I just uninstalled Roxio DVD burner software package due to it's media manager and other features interference with CS3 application.
Anyone know of a free DVD burner --- I only need the DATA DISC function...to save files to DVD....that I can use with CS3 and it doesn't hook into all kinds of crazy stuff re: media ?? Or....a relatively inexpensive program would be OK but I am struggling a bit $$ wise, so less is more.
Rod

copy that...Did see the window with info re: what it's doing...I usually just select a bunch of files I want to save to disk and just drag to the burning program and thats that...easy...I look in explorer beforehand what the total byte count is...so it's not more than the DVD capacity...
Thanks for the heads up...
Bloomberg wants to charge $20 to drive into manhattan...(beyond tolls and parking expense at garages) He wants to have utopia ....kinda like Hitler and Napoleon, Stalin...etc...everyone that wants utopia ends up bringing on hellish consequences historically...and this guy is jewish, you would think he above all others would know better...
but we pay him exactly $1 per year for salary...(well I dont anymore cause I no longer live in city ..I'm just beyond city limits) - and what can you expect from someone you pay $1 per year ? I mean, really...think about it...
Rod
sorry, went off on tangent

Please recommend best DVD burning program and external burner

My FCPX "Share" will no longer burn a DVD on my MacPro 1,1 via the "DVD" destination. However I can send it to "Master File" and it will make a high quality .mov file. I've then tested using Roxio Toast on a 2 minute .mov clip and it did burn a DVD, but the quality was very, very poor. (Much worse than the DVD that I used to be able to get via FCPX Share).
Your thoughts on: 1) Why does FCPX --> Share --> DVD no longer work/ how to fix it? and 2) Can you recommend the best DVD burning program and external burner? With thanks! Duncan

Toast should give you the highest possible quality so you are obviously doing something wrong.
The only thing I don't like about Toast are the menus . . . which are total rubbish compared with iDVD.
You should also be able to burn DVDs from FCP X so once again you are either doing something wrong or there is a problem with your FCP X setup or computer.
Try trashing the preferences using this free app.
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
1. Ensure that FCP X is selected.
2. Click Trash
The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.
There is absolutely no danger in trashing preferences and you can do it as often as you like.
The preferences are kept separately from FCP X and if there aren't any when FCP X opens it automatically creates new ones . . . instantly.

Since i don't have idvd on my new imac, what is the best alternative dvd burning program with similar features? (creating menus, elegant and easy to use, etc.)

I just found out that Apple no longer ships a solo version of idvd with the new macs. I used this program with my imac as it was simple and got the job done.
In imovie, under "share" there is an option for idvd, but it isn't a program i can get into like the old one for menu creation, etc.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a really good reliable dvd burning program with menu creation features similar to idvd?

Hi
There are two answers
A. No there are nothing like iDVD - at all
B. read on
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

File name punctuation WILL cause MP3 and DVD burn errors – workaround?

OK, I’ve seen TONS of questions about problems burning MP3 format CDs and DVD. I’ve been having this problem for quite a while and today I just got ****** off enough to do some deep research. I seek to share my finding and suggestions for work arounds.
THE PROBLEM
iTunes can burn regular CDs since the song file name is not actually put on the CD. The CD or DVD burner work for burning audio discs and with other applications. All the burn preferences are set correctly and have been validated. But when you attempt to burn an MP3 CD or DVD (for backup, transfer or for player that play MP3 discs), iTunes may do the following:
Checking media (iTunes will ask: “You have inserted a DVD. Are you sure you want to create a Data DVD? answer yes, it’s a blank DVD disc in a working DVD burner)
Checking playlist
Burning disc… initializing
"The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (xxxx).”
THE CAUSE
Many times the error is due to song, album or artist names with unacceptable punctuation in them. iTunes does not tell you why and the error message and Google searches and Apple support/discussion forum details are sketchy… but in most cases its “illegal” punctuation in the song name, artist or album. I isolated at lest the apostrophe ‘ there are probably other illegal name punctuations too.
The cause my be explained by Apple following ISO or Joliet file name specifications or file name length specifications for CD or DVD discs. But since this appears to be undocumented (to the iTunes user) there is a need to understand the restrictions to allow error free disc burning.
THE CHALLENGE
Even if the playlist name does not have punctuation, if ANY playlist song name/artist/album does, the DVD burn will fail. Removing the offending songs from the playlists results in a successful burn but hey, I WANT those other songs too!
POSSIBLE WORK AROUNDS
Changing actual song file name – even if you change the name in iTunes (Get Info, Info, change name, artist, album) the actual song file names are not updated and continue to have the punctuation error resulting in a burn failure.
It appears that the actual file name needs to be changed. This can be a challenge. If you change only the file name you need to add modified file back into iTunes and the old file link is now broken. This is a bigger problem if that song file is in multiple playlists (the old ones are broken and the new one needs to be substituted). This is a REAL problem if you have 2,800 songs with an ‘ in them (like I do).
LETS WORK TOGETHER AND SHARE RESULTS
I’ve seen many, many unanswered questions about iTunes CD and DVD burning problems that will likely be solved if we can collectively develop and document a workaround. So, here is
THE QUESTION
What is the best way to rename (or retag) MP3 song files to eliminate punctuation and update iTunes and playlists so these songs can be burned to CD or DVD without violating the undocumented illegal punctuation restriction? The work around may differ for OS X vs Windows users so help on both would be appreciated.
Thank you all in advance for your help!

been searching myself to create my own cdg for use in universal karaoke players. Kjams appears to offer the most hope for all I want to do. although there's something new now called Aria which promises to do a bunch of stuff for 79 $. Otherwise, all that I want to do as listed by the original poster, would cost me Kjams lite, plus the burn plug in is extra, plus I'd need the kjams producer as I would be building a cdg by adding the synced lyrics to something I've removed the vocal from, on Audacity program. if I go with Kjams, those 3 softwares, it will cost me 150, while I'm so jealous all those PC karaoke singers have free software for karaoke they can download.
I've been buying my cdg discs at 1.99 a pop, but they don't have special songs I want to perform. Aria for Mac might just do it all but I don't need the "scratch" sound they are pushing. that makes me steer away from the software.
experimenting with the Imac 10.6 idvd movie quicktime might work. I made a few cdg but have not tried them in the club karaoke machine yet. I added the lyrics to tuneprompter which is a free software that lets you add and sync the lyrics to the music with the spacebar. thats fun. but it's all in experimental thing so far. I know Kjams does not let you add lyrics and sync them yourself. you are supposed to import cdg to kjams that are already available and pay for them. in this case I want to find my own special tunes. good luck to you. there's one other thing but it's expensive. buying software which turns your mac into a windows platform by partiioning it and you start up in one or the other. that's also about 100-150 software.

Free dvd burning programs

anyone have any recommendations for a free dvd burning program? i am trying to burn dvds (movies) that i already have ripped to my hd.
thanks.
kyle

You can burn them in the Finder. Go to the "Help" menu in the Finder and type in "Burning DVDs" in the search field. You will find instructions there. You basically mount a blank DVD and drag your folder with video files in it to the DVD.

What is the best dvd burning program with a nice menu like idvd that works with Final cut pro

What is the best dvd burning program with a nice menu like idvd that works with Final cut pro, I am wanting to burn mainly wedding dvds but also sports and other things we used to use idvd but then upgraded our computers and now we dont have it. idvd was the only thing i could find that worked.
Thanks

There is no real substitute for iDVD.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

Best DVD burning program

Well, since BURN doesn't work with Mavericks anymore, and iDVD isn't around (as far as I know), has anyone got any recommendations on a a good (preferably free, or maybe inexpensive) DVD burning program?
thanks
John B

a quick followup:
went out and bought toast. tried to encode video DVD from mpeg-4 files, which seems to go okay, then when it goes to burn the DVD it gives me something about a "sense error" , says 'sorry, the dvd couldn't be created" and then that's it. I'm using Verbatim AZO DVD-R's which used to work for me okay. Hmmm---maybe bad batch??
I have a stock dvd burner in my Mac Pro
other relevant stuff (or not) OS: 10.9.3, Ram: 10 gig, HD space: 4 TB, video card sapphine HD7950 3 gig VRAM
well, that's it...I'm stumped for right now....any help appreciated
thanks

Touchsmart IQ775-keyboard, mouse, front USBs, and DVD burner

My power went off and immediately back on while I was using computer. Now, my wireless mouse, wireless keyboard, front USB ports, and DVD burner won't work. The computer doesn't recognize them. I have tried reconnecting the mouse and keyboard and replacing batteries. I tried to burn a recorded TV show onto a DVD--doesn't recognize the recorder. The printer works--it is plugged into a rear USB port. The touchscreen feature works.
Any and all help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

This does not sound good - to me, it sounds like the enumeration of your devices is corrupt in the registry - caused during the power failure.
If you can get to Microsoft System Restore, use it to go back to a few days time before before the outage ocurred.
If that doesn't work, thenHP recovery is my suggestion.
... an HP employee expressing his own opinion.
Please post rather than send me a Message. It's good for the community and I might not be able to get back quickly. - Thank you.

"Full-Featured" CD and DVD Burning Capabilities Included?

I'm currently running an old XP machine with Nero 9. I'm purchasing a new ThinkPad W530 with Windows 7 Professional SP1 and the usual ThinkVantage software overlays. My question involves the CD/DVD burning capabiliites are included in Windows 7 and/or ThinkVantage.
In burning CDRs I'm used to being able to specify details like the filing system (UDF and/or Juiet and/or ISO 9660), multi-session (start, continue, or finalize) or disk-at-once, keep original file dates, and verify after burn. I have similar capabilities for DVDRs (single or double-level).
Is some of all of this included in the software bundled with the machine, or do I still need to delete or diaable that an purchase third-party burning software? -- JCW2

>>I use imgburn, which is free.<<
I understand it is now bundled with "OpenCandy," which is apparently a controversial advertising program. Is it **appears** possible not to **permanently** install OpenCandy when installing imgburn. On the other hand, BurnAware Free apparently doesn't include OpenCandy, is probably easier to use, and might be good enough for my purposes... -- JCW2

BluRay Burner and DVD Burner will access the disk and then disappear and then access the disk again constantly.

Hi, I have a Dell system maxed out. I have both a DVD Burner and a BluRay Burner drive in the system. I just had to replace the fan on the CPU as the plastic that would hold it onto the mother board broke. I have a 120GB SSD as my main
and a 600GB 10,000 RPM drive as my secondary drive. Because I did not realize the Fan was the problem keeping the system from booting up all the way. Which never had any problems before I had to put the system into storage when I retired from the Air
Force last year. So any ways I rebuilt the system back with Windows 7 Ultimate. Everything was working fine. So I started installing all my other programs. Over the next several days I did not notice any problems. Until I went
to play one of my games that requires a Disk to be in the drive to verify it was a OEM disk. When I went to play I noticed the game kept asking for the disk even though the disk was already in the drive. Went to my System display and noticed that
the disk would show up for a few seconds and then disappear and then the drive would access the disk again and then disappear. This keeps happening in both my drives. I have read though the forums and this is not anything to do with the disk drive
disappearing that I see all over the forums. Also, when I start the computer up from the DVD or BluRay drive it starts up with no problems. So it is not anything to do with the hardware. I believe this is something to do with some software I may
have installed or something, but I don't believe it is hardware. Now I see that it has duplicated my Two optical media drives. If I can't get someone to help me fix this, I may have to go through the process and re-install the system and my other
software to see if that fixes the problem. Like I said I have never had this problem before.
Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas.

If the paste wasn't changed it will lead to heating problems, something that will show in different ways all the time, but thsi isn't the issue here.
Could it bee that you accidentally moved the cables to the drive on the motherboard when you changed the fan? Make sure it's correctly connected in both ends.
It could also be that the drivers for the SATA-controller needs to be updated, try and download the latest ones from the manufacturers webpage.

Need Video Capture Card and DVD Burner Quick!

Here's my situation. I've created some movie titles in iMovie and have no way to get them from my Macintosh to my DVD/VCR to incorporate them in a tape I'm making. I need it like NOW as a lot of people are waiting for copies of the tape!
For some time I've wanted a device called a video capture card. It has the ability to play videos on your computer and you can print out images from them. What I want to do is make DVDs of my VHS home movies. I did learn you can't just walk into any local store and buy such a device; it must be ordered.
Desperation is a great motivator and finally (duh) I decided to look at a site specializing in Macintosh products, instead of studying every capture card online. Surprisingly, they offer three models: one cheap ($50-some), one at twice the price of the first, and a third at ten times the price of the second! That's quite a jump! Here's the middle one, which they claim is the best on the planet: http://www.macmall.com/macmall/shop/detail~dpno~197329.asp
So, as I understand this, I somehow connect this device to my computer (Power Mac G4), hook a VCR to it, and then I can play videotapes on my computer. If I'm in a desperate hurry to burn DVDs I suppose my friend's DVD player will also connect to this device, or am I wrong in this?
Even if I am right (that a DVD player/burner will connect to this) I still don't see how that gives ME a DVD burner with which to transfer my videos to DVD! My combo player will make videos from DVDs but not the other way around! So do I have to run out and buy a DVD burner, and should it be any special kind since it will be used with a device connected to a Macintosh? I need this ASAP so thanks for any advice, or clarification to my understanding of how this process works!

Cornelia,
Lennart's links are very good and informative. But one thing you should know is that an external DVD burner will not play a DVD - it only burns them. Since you want to view the DVD and pause at a particular scene and print it, you'll need some way to view your DVD. You also need a way to convert the iMovie project with the imported VHS footage, to a burnable format. iDVD can do that, but I noticed you have OS X 10.2 (Jaguar). If you don't have iDVD you'll need to buy it from the Apple store.
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/70901/wo/u13Sbz1 DQJRc2kZnHbi1QKZybZA/1.0.19.1.0.8.25.7.11.0.3 or you can buy Roxio Toast 7, but toast is much more expensive. For Toast go to: http://www.roxio.com/
You also need a media player so you can view your final DVD. I did some quick research and found out that none of the free media players allows you to print - which is what you want to do. There are quite a few free media players available, like Nice player and Xine Player, but you need Panther or higher to use them. Because you're running OS X 10.2, the only free media player that you can use is VLC media player. To download a free VLC player go to: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ You do need QT 6.5.2. or higher. So you may need to update your QT.
You can't print a paused image, but you can take a snap shot of the still image, then print that. Snap Shot=CommandShift4. This will allow you to select the paused picture in the screen, or if you like just a portion of that paused picture. It will save on your desktop as a picture. Double click on the Picture, then print that.
Then it sounds like after you've burned the DVD with your titles, you will need to connect a VHS recorder to a DVD player and record your DVD on to VHS tape.
Good Luck,
JAM

Problems with Image Disk, fantom CD on desktop and DVD burning

Hello,
I met the last days a lot of problems related with logical volumes.
1) image disk which refuse to disapear when unmount
2) CD which are duplicate once burnt (the both icons disaperar when one is ejected)
3) Servers (anonymous ftp) who stays on desktop after disconnection
4) DVD burning which begin with the message of the end : « completion of engraving » (in french : « finalisation de la gravure ») and the process abort.
5) Asking information about the DVDs: they contains 1,3Go of data (they are new Verbatim DVD-RW!).
If somebody have an idea…

Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
1) If you are using a file or application that resides on the Disk Image then it will not unmount.
2) If you burn 2 "sessions" with software like Toast you can end up with two CD icons that both eject when you take the single disk out. This is normal.
3) ?
4) and 5) Try burning disks at a lower speed and use media that is suitable for the older drives the iMac G4 has. You shouldn't be using 16x media.
regards
mrtotes
Bonjour et bienvenue aux discussions d'Apple.
1) Si vous employez un dossier ou une application qui résident sur l'image de disque puis il ne démontera pas.
2) Si vous brûlez 2 « des sessions » avec le logiciel comme pain grillé que vous pouvez finir vers le haut avec deux icônes de CD ces tous les deux éjectent quand vous enlever le disque simple. C'est normal.
3) ?
4) et 5) disques d'essai brûlants à une vitesse inférieure et emploient les médias qui convient aux commandes plus anciennes l'iMac G4 a. Vous ne devriez pas employer les médias 16x.
respect

If not, post this in the iTunes for Windows forum, but don't say "I have the iTunes 5.0 or whatnot".
If you're not sure, it's hard to know how anyone will be!! : )

DVD Burner program. I need the program to burn DVD.

I am running an IMac with plenty of memory running Mavricks.

If just want copy data to disc, you can use the Finder.
If you want to copy Audio and Video files for playback on your DVD player, you need a DVD authoring program like Alpota DVD Creator.
