DATA DVD

I will make a DVD from a FCP generated file with settings HDV 720p25.
The DVDSP references are:
project: SD DVD, PAL,
general: SD DVD - and HD DVD display mode = 16:9 letterbox, and HD DVD resolution = 720x576
The movie can be shown on the Macbook.
The DVDSP simulation and compiling was successful
DVDS logging:
The file ‘DVDSPRO_2000.layout’ found in the ‘HVDVD_TS’ folder is not a DVD-Video file and will not be included in the final disc or DLT.
Note: The file ‘VOB_DATA.LAY’ found in the ‘HVDVD_TS’ folder is not a DVD-Video file and will not be included in the final disc or DLT
What can I do?

Do not panic!
.LAY and .layout files are never burned to the final disc (nor should they be). So this "warning" is nothing to worry about.
What you should worry about is that you are not creating a SD DVD, you are creating a HD DVD. HD DVDs will only play on Macs, and a few (now obsolete) Toshiba HD DVD players.
You need to change your Preferences in DVD SP to make a SD DVD, and then you have to start all over again creating a whole new project.
You should also be aware that SD DVDs can only display SD video, not HD.

How do you save iphone 4 videos to mac hard drive/data DVD? I just want to backup my videos.

I sync my iphone 4 to my macbook and my movies are on itunes/imovie, but how do I save the movies to my hard drive or a data DVD so I have a back up? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

use iphoto and import the videos and pictures, then burn a disc.

Data DVD burn cancels

I have tried repeatedly to burn a back-up data DVD of a playlist. The burn cancels in the first song. I have culled through the playlist and removed anything purchased online or shifted over from another desktop on the same computer. None of the songs are from the iTunes store; all have been uploaded from CDs and are listed as MPEG audio files. I am not concerned about preserving playlists, etc. just want to back up the songs. The ultimate goal is to transfer the library to a new Mac (don't have it yet).
My knowledge is basic, so please use simplistic language in any responses!
Thank you.

Can you burn from the Finder?

Error when trying to burn a Data DVD

Whenever I try to burn a Data DVD I get the same error - "The items in this playlist will not fit on one data disc." The playlist in question is 2.88gb, well under the 4.3gb limit. Is this a known issue? I remember an older version of iTunes would do something similar to this, but I thought that was corrected.
iTunes 7.7.1, MacBook 1.83ghz Core Duo, 2gb RAM, MacOS X 10.5.4 (fresh install, not one week old) and an LG DVD-RW GH22LP20 burner, which is BRAND new, just got it an hour ago to replace a failing Pioneer unit which would no longer burn DVDs.
Also, how do I get iTunes to stop asking me if I'm sure I want to burn a Data DVD? Of course I'm sure! That's why I'm doing it!

I don't know why you are getting that error, but one work around might be to put the blank in, let it mount on your desktop, then simply do a Select All on the playlist and drag and drop them to the DVD icon on the desktop. After the Mac finished make a cache file of everything, when you drag the DVD towards the trash it should turn into a BURN icon.

What is "error 4480" while doing a data DVD backup

I am running Windows Vista (blergh) and I get an "error 4480" burn failure every time I try to do a data DVD backup of my iTunes library.
What is that error and how do I fix it? My CD/DVD drivers are all up to date.

What brand of discs are you using, and at what burn speed? Also, which drive is in your computer?

Some data DVD's and External Hard Drives not recognized by Leopard only.

1] Some data DVDs that were burned under Tiger do not show up in Leopard. Only a dialog box asking what I want to do with the blank DVD comes up when I insert the disk. On my Tiger computer, the disk shows up perfectly fine. It is a DVD+R being used on a MBP 2ghz... and was burned on that very machine in Tiger and would load fine in Tiger. Now nothing on the same computer in Leopard. I'm going to reburn the disk on my Mac Mini on a DVD-R, but still wanted to know any ideas or input as to why it won't recognize the disk.
2] I also have an external USB2.0 HD. I formatted the disk using my G4 Mac Mini (which has Tiger) and it is not recognized on my MBP. In Disk Utility I try to reformat the drive, but it says that it cannot do so because the "resource is busy". I plug the drive back into the mac mini and it works perfectly fine. Why would this be and how do I correct it?
Full updates on both OS's. No other problems with either computer that I know of.

Unfortunately, commercial DVDs that you have bought 99.9% of the time will be copy protected and Apple's forum terms prohibit discussion of circumventing the copy protection. In various places circumventing digital copy protection is potentially illegal even if you own and intend to keep the DVD. Hence Apple do not wish DVD rippers etc discussed here.
Another problem is that AppleTv cannot play back DVDs copied to an external drive as it does not understand the format. So even if you can 'copy' your DVDs you then need to convert to h264 format to play on AppleTV.
Video formats for AppleTv are limited. They also do not support DVD like menu structures (thogh AppleTV 1 did with itunes Extras movies).
If you have unprotected video you wish to convert eg home video on DVD, then something like Handbrake or MPEGStreamclip with Apple's MPEG2 component might do the job. These programs are not DVD rippers but can process unprotected MPEG2 video.

Brand New iMac unable to read data DVD or eject it.

Hello all,
I'm no good with technology so please bear with me.
I just purchased a brand new iMac a couple of weeks ago, and I'm attempting to run a Data DVD that I got for an online university class.
When put in to the disc drive, one of two things happens:
1) It fails to recognize that there is a DVD in it.
2) It eventually recognizes it (about 5 mins), but then shows nothing on the disc.
after that it is nearly impossible to eject the disc without rebooting the computer or pushing eject a million times and waiting 10 minutes.
Assuming the disc is good (the rest of them are, but I'm getting a replacement just in case), what else can I do?
Thanks.

If it just does it with the one disc the disc is likely bad. Get a replacement disc.
If it does it with multiple discs the drive may be faulty. With a new Mac I'd take it back to the store.

Disk Utility - create ISO Data DVD image for burning?

Which are the exact options in Disk Utility that I need to select, in order to create an ISO DVD Data image that will be readable by PCs and Macs alike?
I have looked on the web and in the help but am none the wiser due to lack of an explanation of the options
Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled),...,MS-DOS (FAT)
Partitions:Single partition - Apple Partition Map,...,Single Partition CD/DVD with ISO data
If you cannot point me in the direction of some decent documentation, please just tell me which options I need to select to create an ISO Data DVD
Thanks

Try this link.
Basically, you can drag a folder into the list on the left. Then, with the folder selected, click New Disk Image from the toolbar at the top (not sure of the exact wording, but it's something along those lines). Make sure to select ISO from the pop-up menu.
Also try this article to convert a DMG to ISO.

DVD drive cannot read some of my data dvd's

When I put in some of my data dvd, it reads it as a blank media.
It is strange. I can read data of the exact same DVD in another mac computer.
The problem is I can read some, but some I cannot read. Burning is no problem / no errors.
Any thoughts would be great! Thanks

Wow, that's interesting.
I haven't had a problem with reading discs in my Powerbook (yet to really use the DVD drive in my MBP), but my old 1999-vintage iMac DVSE with it's DVD-ROM drive often won't read burned DVDs. It has no trouble with commercial discs, or burned CD-Rs, but it fails to read DVDs on a seemingly random basis. Indeed, I had been importing video on my Dad's G5, and burned it to DVD-R (Verbatim). The iMac wouldn't read the discs, while all our other DVD reading Macs would.
I wonder if it's not the write strategy? I know different drives/applications have various methods for burning discs. See Wikipedia's optical disc article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opticaldiscdrive

OS 10.7.2 thinks Data DVD is blank, but it isn't!

I have a brand new Macbook Pro and I've encountered a baffling problem. A data DVD (containing multiple PDF's) shows up as a blank writable disc on this computer. I decided to run Parallels with Windows 7 (on the same MBP) and the disc showed up with all the files intact. So I figured it wasn't a hardware problem. Then I tried the same DVD in my older macbook (2008 model) and Mac Pro desktop (both with OS 10.6) and the disc works perfectly. So it's not a general mac problem either, it appears to be a 10.7 Lion problem. I then uninstalled Parallels and Toast just incase they were to blame...no luck. I have tried other data DVD's in my new MBP and they work perfectly, so I tried to figure out what format was messing with Lion. Using Snow Leopard, Toast & my old Macbook here are my findings regarding the format of the culprit DVD:
Medium Type: DVD-R
Space used: 4.38 GB
Diameter: 120 mm
Layers: single
Manufacturer ID: RITEKF1
Content:
Title: Feb 22 2011
Content Type: Data
File System: UDF
Tracks: 2
Sessions: 2
Details:
Session 1 Start=0, Size 1.16GB
Track 1 Start=0, Size 1.16 GB
UDF Feb 22 2011
UDF revision 2.01
Session 2 (open), Start= 645216, Size = open
Track 2 Start = 645216, Size = 3.15 GB
UDF Feb 22 2011
UDF revision 2.01
So as you can see it's a mutisession DVD, which you cannot create under Lion but you should be able to read it. It's also UDF format, etc. Does anything else look fishy?
Anyway, I brought the MBP to the genius bar today and showed him my findings. I tried the disc in his MBP and it also apperaed to be a blank writable DVD. He believes it is a Lion bug and had nothing more to say. Any thoughts from the techies out there? Anyone have a similar experience? I would love to have my results duplicated so that I can make apple aware of this bug. Thanks all!
My specs:
MBP 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
OS 10.7.2

I have a Mac Mini (Fall 2010) which I bought in 2011. I just tried the DVD last week,and it doesn't work. Im trying to burn image to DVD and nothing happens.
Ive tried Disk Utility, the New Burn Folder feature, Toast, and other programs. The optical drive is just dead. WHen I first bought my computer they came back to me and said that the one I bought didnt work, and gave me a new one. Seems this was part of the same scheme.
There are many different ways to burn, and many different kinds of files, so it can seem difficult, however, the disk utility and the New Burn Folder are easy, but nothing works. The drive just spins, holds it for minutes, and then spits it out, or doesnt, and only rebooting and holding the Eject Button, or the Mouse button down, works to eject the disk.
Solutions may have worked for people wanting to burn Music, but that's not what I want to do. In addition, this has nothing to do with the brand of DVD-RW we use, or not, I've tried over 5, and others have tried all the other versions.
Likewise, Im running 1.6.8 and not Lion, but Lion people are having problems also.
Of course my warranty is over, and I never tried burning DVDs before this.
Do we have to start a Save our Systems movement to get notice, camped out in front of the Genius stores? Im sorry, but Im tired of dishing out money for what appears to be really inferior products. My friends Mac Pro actually exploded! My last HD died. My computer before that also had to be replaced. What gives? Maybe it really is the fact that Apple products are being made in China, and we, the consumers, are paying the price, literally and figuratively.

Data DVD from iTunes not working - please help

I burned a 4 GB playlist as a data DVD from iTunes 7.
I am trying to put the files on a PC running iTunes 7, and NOTHING is happening. The drive in the PC is DVD-rom and all other DVD's work fine.
What's the deal?

What is "Adding to library"?
Huh?
This is how you get songs into iTunes.
Open iTunes.
Inset the DVD.
Go to File -> Add File (or folder) to iTunes and select the files/folders on the DVD.
The DVD is not going to show up in iTunes because it is not an audio CD. It is a data DVD.
Do not try to Import the DVD because Import is used for audio CDs only.

Files copied from UDF data dvd are Read-only

I have a bunch on data DVDs burnt on a pc using Roxio Easy Media Creator 7. These disks are UDF format and can be read perfectly on pc or mac. The problem is : if I copy a file to my desktop, it becomes owned by me but r-xr-xr-x. It's not a problem for me personally but other users I support have a hard time figuring what's wrong when they can't rename the file they just copied.
Is it normal behavior or am I the only one with this problem ? I was supprised not to find anything in apple forum about this.
The work around is to change permissions to read-write in the getinfo window + apply to included elements + password or use chmod but it's not how I'd expect it to work. And I don't know how to modify the default permissions given to files from an UDF dvd. Copies of files from iso9660 disks are read-write.
3 PM G5s and 2 G4s Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I don't believe this is a problem of leopard in general. i can not reproduce this behavior with any of my afp shares. no matter how i connect (as an owner or as a guest) after I copy something to the desktop it gets standard 644 (not 600) permissions.

Since 10.4.4 (10.4.5) - i can not burn Data-DVDs anymore...

System: iMac G4, 1GHz, 1GB RAM, Mac OS X 10.4.5, 4x SuperDrive (SONY DVD RW DW-U10A)
Dear Apple Support,
since Mac OS X 10.4.4 (same with 10.4.5) i can not burn a Data DVD-RW anymore. It is so annoying. I want to burn my backup on a DVD-RW with the Burn Folders in Mac OS X. it is not possible.
The Finder burn dialog hangs at the "ending burning process". It is so annoying.
It's not possible to erase this "half burned" DVD-RW too! So I have here a lot of destroyed DVD-RWs around me...
The burning of DVD-RWs is a problem since 10.4.0 here on my machine. With 10.4.3 it was half o.k. ... But since 10.4.4 (10.4.5) nothing works anymore.
Your product "Mac OS X Tiger" is nearly one year in the market. And burning a Data-DVD is not a exotical thing. It is a essential feature of a Operating System today. So what are you doing in your Test-Labs?
I am sitting here since 1 year with an Operating System from Apple an it doesn't works in the essential features.
Whats about your slogan "It just works"?
What happens with the quality of Apple?
Under 10.3.9 Panther i can burn everything. It absolutly no problem there.
So i don't understand what are you doing with Tiger?
It's so annoying!
Regards
Roessner

Data DVD compatability issues between PC and Mac

I own a macbook g4 12" 1.5ghz and have recently created over 30 data file based dvds using disk utility and dvd-r's speeds 1-16 and 1-8 phillips brand.
When I put these dvd's in a pc the drives do not recognize the dvd's or anything being in the drive. I have tried these dvd's on 5 different pc's all with either dvd burners or roms.
When I put the dvd in the mac it recognizes the dvd and the files.
I found this to happen with 2 other macs in which I have used to burn dvd's (they do not show up when in a pc).
What can I do to view these data dvd's on any pc?
Thanks
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Try this instead.
In the Finder select File --> New Burn Folder. Drag your files into this folder and then click the Burn button while its window is open. This should make an ISO 9660 format disk that can be read by both Macs and Windows machines.
Hope this helps! bill

How Do I Copy a (DATA) DVD when I've got TWO Drives?

I have a MacPro with TWO Super drives.
I have a DATA DVD that I want to make a copy of.
Is there not some way to copy this DVD without first making a disk image on my desktop?
Seems to me I should be able to just drag the one disk to the other and click burn... I tried that, but all I got is an alias, not the disk content itself.
Does the presence of the alias mean that if I burn the disk, it will actually burn the contents.
Another question about the Superdrive? Will it burn a two layer (8+GB) disk? I just discovered that the disk I'm trying to copy is like 7GB... I need to get some double layer discs, but I still don't know if the Superdrives will burn both layers even with a double layer disk.
Thanks,
--PS

When I attempt to make a copy through apple's disc utility the only option to copy the dvd is to first create an image regardless of the number of S-Drives in your mac. For example ....
Click Here
Now if you use a 3rd party burn app like Roxio Toast you have this option as well as burning directly from one S-Drive to the next. Like this .....
Click Here
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

PC won't read data DVD

A data DVD burned on MAC won't load in PC.

By default, when burning DVD's from the Finder they should also be readable on a PC. Is this just unreadable on 1 PC? or all PCs?
Also I have seen Maxell DVD's that do not burn on Lacie external burners. Do you have another brand of DVD? I use Verbatim. Also are you using DVD+R or DVD-R? I have seen DVD-R discs not work on certain PCs with DVD drives.
