Do any DVD players on the market support the .MOV format?

Our DVD player that the kids use with their TV has died. We need to buy a new one. However, I want one that will read the QuickTime .mov format. That way I can burn copies of videos I get from the web onto a blank DVD and watch with the new player.
Can someone point me in the right direction for finding one that will support .MOV?
Thanks!

To answer your question, no. You need to convert the .mov to a format that a dvd player can read. Preferably to Mpeg-2. Quicktime can't convert videos to mpeg-2.
Toast can convert and burn the dvd.

All my movies are in 4:3 scale. I need to finalize a dvd, and when the movie enters in iDVD, burns in 16:9 format. What must I do?

I need a help from you. All my movies are in 4:3 scale.
I use always the same Easy SepUp in Final Cut. My movies is compressed as DV NTSC in 4:3 format.
I need to finalize a dvd, and when the movie enters in iDVD, the preview appears already written in green "widescreen preview", and so the finallized dvd goes to 16:9 format.
I checked in Idvd, and the size is choosed to 4:3.
Interestingly, I've used iDVD several times, including by using templatesmade to 16:9, and changing the format to 4:3 it always worked well.
Maybe is an Idvd update that causes it?

Sorry,I know this is a month late, but I think I remember this happening to myself some time ago. As I can best recall, I believe I had used an MP3 music file in my project (exported from FCP 7) and that was the cause in some strange way. I remember deleting a file (again, I believe the mp3 file) and then it worked fine as 4:3.Not positive, but I hope this helps.

Movie created in iDVD 7.01 won't play in any DVD Players at all

I created a movie in iMovie HD 6 and mastered in iDVD 7.01 it plays OK on my computer but,
it wont play on any other DVD players at all, mine or my friend's, I just get the "Loading" message on my TV. Could this be related to the brand of DVD's I'm using or the encoding that older DVD players are not able to read?
If any one knows what the problem is, Please HELP!!
Thank you so much.
Josh

+Could this be related to the brand of DVD's I'm using or the encoding that older DVD players are not able to read?+
Yes and yes. If it plays in your Mac, it should play in a DVD player. Use DVD-R, not any other format. Verbatim works flawlessly for me.
I recommend a disk image burned to Verbatim DVD-R at 4X or slower using Toast or Disk Utility. You can set burn speed in iDVD '08 if not creating a disc image.
David Pogue also recommends Verbatim on page 356 of his iDVD 6 book:
iMovie HD & iDVD 6: The Missing Manual
Quoting David: "Cheaper brands don't use the same amount of organic dyes and are more likely to suffer premature deaths."
iMovie '08 & iDVD: The Missing Manual.
I buy Verbatim white inkjet printable in stacks of 50. Verbatim's part number: 94971. They have been flawless for me.

Question about using DVD covers for the movies I import

Question for all you mac genii - When I import a dvd that I own into my itunes library and sync to my  tv, how can I get the DVD cover art to appear so it looks like the stuff I have purchased from the itunes library? It there a way to edit the cover art for movies? Thanks in advance...

You add it just like you would for music - the catch is that if you are doing syncing, you need to re-sync the whole file (so the embedded artwork will transfer). Add the artwork, un-check the movie/tv show to be synced, do a sync (it should be removed from the ATV), and then check it to synced again and do a sync (it should push it back out to the ATV again).
Kind of a pain - so it is best to tag your files (MetaX is awesome) before you do any syncing of files.

Is there any way to invert the movement of the arrow on the Panorama function?

Does anyone know if it's possible to invert the movement of the Arrow on the Panorama function so that when you move the device UP it moves DOWN??
I feel like I want to move the line to the arrow and not the other way round.

None that I know of no

Everything about the movie formats change going from FCP into iDVD.

I made a few movies and I simply want them on a DVD. I convert them into QT movies and everything looks great. When I move the files into iDVD, it squishes the actual movie into 4:3 even though the original QT movie is 16:9 and iDVD is set up for 16:9 and the quality is horrible. I check the "Project Info" and my 3.1GB file has shrunk down to a 376MB file. This has happened with the last two movies I made. I'm really getting frustrated. Help!!

He might also need to use Anamorphizer. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=13023833&#13023833

Attach any file type in the same format and send it thorugh mail

Dear Guru ,
I have encountered an issue which i am not able to resolve .
The issue is like this I need to upload any kind of file type(such as .txt, .xls, .pdf, .doc, .jpeg, .bmp)
and need to send that file send that particular file and the same file type format attached in the mail.
how i should approch to get solution to this issue.
I have gone through the all prog refered in the code gallry (related to send mail with attachment) but i am not able to find out any prog which is giving guidine line attach any kind of file type from the PC (most of the prog is with either taking filetype .txt, .xls or RAW) and send it via mail .
Need proper guideline to resolve this issue.... how i should approch to solve this.....
Thanks & regards
Saifur Rahaman

Dear Saha Da,
Yes saha da i know using SO00 or Sap Business Workplace (SBWP) you can send it.
But the requirment is like this it must have to do from the selection scereen of the prog .User can save the path of the file which is residing in pc in a variant and from that variant prog will run in background to automate the process.
We can do it using harcoding the filetype while uploading data from the selection screen.
But we have to provide the flexiblity to the user so that he/she can change to any file or any file path.
I am not pretty sure but i my plan i am thinking 1st i will provide the provision of uploading the file into sap application server and from there we will read the file type , file content and send it to mail.
I know it can be done but right now dont know how it can be done ..... but i will findout...
Can you give me some more guideline reagrding this.
Thanks & regards

Any way to limit the input format for string control?

Hi there,
I need a control for the user to input some string with only alphabets and no special characters. Also need to control the number of characters to input. I search it and see someone use Xcontrol to achieve that but I really have no idea how to get that. Any other way to get this function works on string input?

prvs wrote:
Dear Altenbach,
The VI that you have posted in (Max8Discard.vi) in Limiting Input String Length
limits the entry of string control to required length but it doesnt limit the entry of special characters.
If you have any simple way to do the same it will be very helpful
Thanks in advance...!!!
Regards,
Praveen PRVS
Just change the check after the Lexical Class function. If you just want numbers and letters, then use the In Range & Coerce function to check for class numbers 3 through 5. Play around with the logic some more until you get what you need (I'm thinking that AND should be an OR).

DVD Plays on computer drives, but not on dvd players

iDVD 06 - This is a new problem, just happened two days ago. Previous dvd's burned with idvd 06 work just fine on old and new dvd players. I always test them after burning. However this new project will only play on computer dvd drives (mac or pc) but not on my dvd players. The menu screen shows up, but when the play button is pushed it never starts. Disk is clean, re-burned dvd, re-exported the video and re-did the entire dvd, same issue. I have not changed any settings in iDVD 06.
Yes, I even re-installed idvd 06, but then somehow I lost some of my old themes (which happened to be the ones I wanted to use) I did back up my previous copy of idvd 06 which has my old plain themes that I love to use in the package, so I do have those. But if I bring them into the newley re-installed idvd 06, all the features do not work. Such as being able to change the type size on that paticular menu.
I am using Verbatim 8X DVD-R's and have successfully used these just the other day on another project! And those work just fine on an old and new dvd player!
I had to get these dvd's because my burner would not burn on the 16X DVD-R's that I recently bought.
DVD Burner information is:
SONY DVD RW DW-U10A:

Any suggestions???
G-5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

No rhyme or reason... but tried one more time after putting back my old copy of idvd 06 with my oldest themes in it, and I now have DVD's that will play on regular DVD players!
Now, if Apple could just get us a firmware update for the SONY DVD RW DW-U10A which came with my G-5 and then maybe we could all burn disks at the new 16X speed! Instead of limiting our possibilites.
Oh and yes, I did contact Sony about firmware updates. They informed me that this is really an OEM drive (whatever that is) and that Sony does not support it!

How do you get dvds to work on regular dvd players? It works on PC dvd player just fine.

I created a movie via Elements 13 (Using Windows 7) using video from my camcorder. I added menus and such and then burned it to a DVD -R using Elements 13. The dvd will play on a computer via the dvd player but it won't play
on a regular dvd player that is hooked to my TV. What am I missing?

gibbyutah
What did you create in Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 7 (assumed 64 bit) - DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc or AVCHD format on DVD disc.
Although you can use a regular DVD burner to create the AVCHD format on DVD disc, it will not play back on a regular DVD player. You need
a Blu-ray player or one of those multi media players whose specifications include support for AVCHD format on DVD disc.
So, first order of things is for you to confirm which type of product you produced using Premiere Elements 13.
Also, be aware that stop markers in Premiere Elements (any version) burn to AVCHD on DVD or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc do not
function at playback. Those stop markers work only for DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc.
Please let us know if any of the above targeted your issue. If not, more details please, and we will think about this some more.
Also, please review the specification of your TV's DVD player to verify its specifications as to type of disc supported as well as the format on
that particular disc.
Thank you.

How can I save my iMovie Project to a DVD or Flash Drive which can be played on a PC and any DVD player

I have an iMac, purchased in January 2011. How can I save an iMovie project to a DVD or Flash Drive which can be played on a PC or any DVD player

I will give you a basic primer, not going to get to in depth, as far as parameters, size of project, or the storage size of your usb flash drive, etc.
1. you have your finished iMovie project. Under iMovie>Share menu. Choose export using quicktime.
2. make Movie self contained. This way your Mov, Mvi, etc files will be part of the movie and it can play without having to reference the events, because it is actually there.
3. so, now on your desktop ( or any where else set up quicktime to save your file) you will see a quicktime file.
Drag & Drop that file on to the icon of your USB Flash Drive, etc.
4. Details that I omitted because I admit I am not well versed. Most Likely that quicktime file is larger than your USB Flash Drive. You have to use one of quicktime compression work flows, also if you open the just created quicktime file. It will open quicktime player and under the File>Export you have to options. I have a Movie that was 42GB 1080P, I exported it as a 720P, so it would still be playable on a large screen and now the new file was less than 2.5GB.
5. Oh, no i just realized that the file should be playable on a PC, as long as the PC has quicktime for windows installled and you left that USB formated at MS DOS as it came originally, or a PC will not recognize it. Will it open up on your Blu-Ray Player that has a USB port, not sure. Since there is no menu. but, perhaps just pushing play will start movie.
Hope this is of some help.

Burned DVD plays on some DVD players and not others

Hello all,
First, please forgive my ignorance because I do not work with video much and have no idea what I'm doing. Someone created a video that I need to burn so the DVD can play on any DVD player. The folder is titled "VIDEO_TS" and then the files within it have the following extensions: .BUP, .IFO, .VOB. with VIDEO and VTS as the prefixes. the largest file has a .VOB extension. The master disk is a DVD-R and I burned the video on a Verbatim DVD-R which played fine on my MAc, a PC and two DVD players. However, I tried it on two other DVD players and it could not be played. So now I'm trying to figure out how I can created a DVD that will be compatible with any DVD player or create an alternate version that can be played on the machines that currently can't play the DVD.
Does all of that make sense? I've been all over the internet and seen different suggestions for similar problems but I don't want to spend money or waste time trying different tactics that won't solve my problem.
Thanks in advance!

Hi
This is a question very familiar in iDVD forum. I use to answer like this.
• Brand of DVD used matters - I only use Verbatim (more organic dye in these) - but there are other GOOD Brands
• DVD-R - plays on more DVD-players than DVD+R as it plays on even older DVD-players (DVD+/-RW - don't even think of it)
• BURN SPEED - is a major contributor to this problem - I never go faster than x4 - I use as standard x2
There are two kinds a blanc DVD can be burned as
• DATA-DVD - Files from DeskTop just stored on a blank DVD - few DVD-players can play this (only very very new ones and they are rare - if I'm rightly informed)
• Video-DVD - a DVD-authoring program is a MUST. iDVD, DVD-Studio Pro, Burn, Roxio Toast etc etc
I'm told that Compressor can do this - I never got it to deliver a Playable-DVD - BUT THIS IS DUE TO MY NEGLECT !
So when iDVD or Toast creates this very special structured DVD - You find the two (must be there) folders VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS (empty) - and if the DVD-player don't find this = it will not play.
Yours - very happy with iDVD and Toast (and DVD-Studio Pro - but this is hard to get right) - Bengt W

DVD plays on DVD players but not on all PCs

I used Idvd to burn a dvd. It plays on DVD players but the audio is garbled when played on some PCs running windows XP. The same PC plays other DVDs ok.
Has anyone had this problem? Does a PC require quicktime in order to play a DVD made from Final cut and IDVD?
Thanks for any help
Rayfred

Welcome to discussions, Rayfred
Does a PC require quicktime in order to play a DVD made from Final cut and IDVD?
No.
Did you burn it onto a DVD+R or DVD-R? Many PCs don't play DVD-Rs well.

Do any DVD players on the market support the .MOV format?
