DVD burner on windows computer

Hello,
I have created a clip with iMovie 4 using my ibook. However, I only have the Combo drive and not the Super drive. Hence I cannot directly burn DVD from my ibook. I do have a PC desktop computer with Windows platfrom connected with a DVD burner.
So my questions are:
1) how do I export my iMovie file to burn on the DVD burner on the Windows PC desktop computer.
2) can I burn my iMovie file as a VCD from my ibook's Combo drive, so that I can view the VCD on my DVD player.
Thank heaps for the help in advance.

I encounter the similar issue but in my situation I transfered all the fcp document files to my windows desktop computer over the network to free up some space on my mac, thinking I would be able to use the files later on on my mac thru the network. The files aren't shown in fcp file types but in exec, it wont open using imovie or final cut pro. Just wondering if there's a way to make it work. In another words can u use a windows computer to store fcp document files and then access it from a Mac over a network?

Dvd studio pro: DVDs won't work on DVD player and windows computer

Hi
I have burnt some dvds on DVD Studio Pro I checked they were set to SD and PAL and have played them on my MAC and DVD player no problem but now I am hearing back from my client that they tried playing them on their windows computer and laptop and their DVD player and it isn't working what could be the reason for this?
From Mike

You can see if they have another software player available. Usually VLC is a good option. Windows player can be a bit all over the place depending on patches of the OS and other items. I have encountered some strange things, including people claiming that DVDs I have authored were doing things that had nothing to do with the DVD (beyond the scope of what a DVD can do, etc.)
When you say DVD Player, does this mean they are also trying to play it in a DVD Player (real player and not in computer?) How did you burn the DVD? Straight from DVD SP? Check first play settings and other items?
These are some of the first things I would be starting with, particularly if real DVD players (not in computers) are concerned. It also can be something as small as dirt or scratches on the DVD itself. Some machines can be better at compensating than others are.

DVD burned on windows appears blank on my Mac

Hi. I had a buddy make a DVD of a bunch of MP3s for me. He burned them to a DVD+R on Windows and said he checked it on a couple windows sysstems and seen that the files were on there. It shows up as an Untitled Blank CDR on both my Macs and appears empty. When I eject the disk it ejects but the disk image remains mounted on the desktop until I trash it. Any ideas of how I could workaround this. I need to get to these files to DJ a party Friday night... Didn't forsee this little obstacle. Thanks for your time in a reply! I really appreciate any help.

Did you ever figure this out? I'm stuck with some DVD's that were burnt with an HFS+ file system on an iMac, but when they are inserted into my macbook pro, they show up as blank. When I take them back to the iMac (or another iMac), they show up fine. Now I don't have access to the iMac's, but I can get my dvd's to show up with their data on them; OS X still says they are blank. This is extra-ordinarily frustrating.

Multisession data DVD burned on windows don't show the folders on Mac.

Hi,
I think that is a well discussed thread but I weren't able to find anything at this concern on google and this forum.
I've burned a multisession data DVD on Nero (windows XP). That DVD already have files burned and is multisession. After burn it, the folder that I'd copied on PC don't show up on Mac. Is there a way to burn that files on windows that can be recognised on a Mac? Is this a question of burn format? The parameters of copy on Nero was keep as default.
Thanks in advance.

It seems like Mac OS X doesn't support multisession-burnt DVDs, no matter how you put them together. In the best case, you'll only be able to see the first session. Finalizing DVDs has no impact on Mac OS X ability to read them completely.
I learnt it the hard way when switching from Ubuntu to Mac OS X, while on the first, Nero-burnt DVDs would read flawlessly, finalized or not. I ended up being forced to burn back around 120 DVDs in one session in Nero.
So far, Apple doesn't seem to have any plan in supporting multisession DVD burning and reading in OS X. As they have a tendancy to ditch obsolete technology sooner than others, I wouldn't hold my breath on it. On a personal level, this lack of support has made my hard drive space needs skyrocket, as I'm no longer able to incrementally burn DVDs, as I always did in Windows and Ubuntu.
Hope that helps.

MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-816 DVD burn fails if computer is doing other things too

I can burn DVDs successfully if I leave the computer alone and don't try to do anything else with it while the burn is taking place. However, if I am printing or typing or even using the Finder at the same time, then the burned disk will not verify (errors in sector such and such). This is with Toast 7 and the Superdrive. It also happens with my external Pioneer 4x burner too.
Is this normal?

Just a note of interest. as a brody points out.
It is not a good practice to burn DVD's and use other applications at the same time.
Burning is not only very Ram Intensive, there are several other processes that are taking place as well.
It is a very good idea to burn by itself and not do any other process.
Many users that try to multi-task while burning report burner errors and overall poor preformance.
You are also using a burner that is a few years old as well and there have been updates to not only the burner, but firmware and software and media as well.

No burner on project computer

I don't have a DVD burner on the computer that I'm making my project on but I do have one on my computer at work.
What is the best way to get my project to work and burn it there?

a G4 Duel with a Superdrive
I was thinking that I could 'save as disk image' and put it on an external firewire drive and take it in to work. I should then be able to make a pysical disk from the image.
Can anyone confirm this for me...

No dvd burn drive

Hello, I bought a season of a television show off of itunes, and I want to back it up, but my computer doesn't have a dvd burner. The show is taking up way to much space on my hard drive. My friend has a dvd burner on his computer, and I was wondering if there was any way I could transfer all of my files to his computer, back them up on dvd, but still be able to watch them on my computer.

Well you can back it up to an external harddrive or if the file size is below 700MB burn it to a data CD.

Remote Disc Can't recognize Blank disc, but it does recognize other discs. I am trying to burn something from my itunes on my mac mini to a blank disc on my windows computer. What could be wrong?

Remote Disc Can't recognize Blank disc, but it does recognize other discs. I am trying to burn something from my itunes on my mac mini to a blank disc on my windows computer. What could be wrong?
I can see other discs such as music and stuff so I know I have installed it correctly but how come I can't see the blank disc that I need to burn?

You can't burn discs remotely, you can only read data discs remotely (i.e. you cannot play movie DVDs either).
Either copy the files to the remote computer or get an external drive.

Windows dvd maker does not recognize the dvd drive in this computer

I have windows 7 release candidate on my old desktop and this newish notebook. Windows DVD maker works fine on the desktop but on this Lenovo 3000 N200 it will not recognize the built in dvd drive. I have checked with Device Manager and the software is up to date and the device is working normally. I can make DVD movies using a free program called DVD Flick. DVD Flick recognizes the DVD burner, so why won't Windows DVD Maker work??

Hi Ppprrrggg,
The following information was copied from Troubleshoot problems with creating a DVD-Video using Windows DVD Maker
My DVD failed to burn. What can I do?
Try one or more of the following:
Verify that the DVD burner is connected properly to your computer and powered on, and that any necessary software drivers for the DVD burner are installed. You can check your hardware settings in the Device Manager by doing the following:
1.
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2.
Click Hardware and Sound.
3.
Click Device Manager.
Make sure that the videos you're trying to burn are not corrupted. To see whether the videos you want to burn are corrupted, try playing or viewing them using Windows Media Player. If the files don't play using the Player, Windows DVD Maker cannot burn them.
Choose a slower burning speed for your DVD burner by doing the following:
1.
Return to the Add pictures and video to the DVD page, and then click Options.
2.
In the DVD burner speed box, select Medium or Slow.
Does it work?
Thanks .
I uninstalled DVD Flick and followed the steps above but no luck.....any other ideas??? Apart from the fact that Windows DVD Maker SHOULD work I find it extra annoying because I think it is a very good program....it's better than DVD Flick, and besides not wanting to fork out money I would prefer to have nothing to do with programs like Nero.
Hi,
When you click DVD Maker-what exactly happens?Or what kind of error is?
when i click dvd
when I click dvd burner I select videos 2 burn.....videos I can watch on windows media player. After selecting the slowest burn speed I click on ''burn'' just like I do on my 7 year old desktop (which will then burn a dvd movie). But on this notebook I get a little window......''windows dvd maker''. It reads ''dvd burner not found. A dvd burner was not found. Make sure a dvd burner is connected and installed then try again.'' How useless is that???!!! I find it hard to believe this problem cannot be solved. Also I don't believe I can make the problem any clearer!!! Windows has no problem finding the dvd drive if I want to burn a data dvd so how come I can't burn a dvd movie using windows??? please help!!!!!

Burning .dmg file from Windows computer

If I create an iDVD project and save it as a .dmg file (instead of burning it right away), can that file then be burned to a DVD from ANY computer--Windows or Mac?
I'll be away from my external DVD burner (only have the combo drive in my PB) and want to be able to use a Windows computer at work to burn the final DVD.
Is this possible? If so, will it still burn a regular playable video DVD?

Doesn't sound like image files are universal (take a look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.img). But, why not give it a try? You'll need some method to transport that large file that's also cross-platform (perhaps create a tiny trial project).
