DVD BURNING FROM I TUNE...NOT!!!

Hi all..
Just had to potch about going through the motions of chucking i tunes etc on new laptop..Not only did I have problems, as the i pod(Mini) didn't load my 168(I know but it's fairly new) tunes, so I had to go get i gadget to do it, I now cannot burn dvd's from my i tunes library!!
Before, I burnt to 5 cd's BUT I have switched to DVD's as the obvious choice of getting more on a single disc..
Anyone help with this problem or am I stuck with it..

Hi Sam..
Many thanks for your reply..
I have done that..
When I insert a DVD-RW into my drive, a box comes up with the following message..
YOU HAVE INSERTED A BLANK DVD BUT ORIGIANLLY SELECTED(Whatever format I have tried, which is ALL).. ARE YOU SURE YOU WISH TO CREATE A DATA DVD INSTEAD.
DATA DVD's ARE ONLY USABLE IN COMPUTERS WITH A DVD DRIVE.
BURNING A DVD MAY TAKE AS LONG AS AN HOUR.
With a Question mark on bottom left, DATA DVD button & CANCEL buttong on right hand side of box..
I haven't got any more hair left, as this is making me pull it out!!!!
HELP PLEAE ANYONE?

DVD burned from iDVD skips on TV not computer

Help! I create a graduation DVD every year for the 8th grade at my daughters' school. It is created in iMovie and is made of pictures and music - basically a slideshow. After I create it in iMovie, I pull it into Garage Band to chapter it, then send it to iDVD from there. Basically I have been getting calls from parents that when they try to view the slideshow it skips terribly on a television. However, if they put it in their computer it views just fine. Can anyone tell me how to correct this problem? I will soon have 40 parents calling me for new DVDs!!!!
Thank you in advance to anyone that can help me with this problem!!! It is truly appreciated.
Lisa
PS The music teacher informed me that previous video projects I created for her before April viewed just fine on a television. It was with the April 19th Musical that started to have problems and only could be viewed on a computer.

Just to add to the good advice already posted above; might also what to consider two more items. The first being that your mac is not built for burning back to back dvd's. You can burn one fine, maybe even two but thereafter you must allow the lens to cool prior to burning subsequent dvd's or you will experience exactly what you pointed out above. Namely, much higher error rates when burning additional dvd's causing them to skip, distort, or stop altogether.
Secondly, consider making a disc image to the desktop and burn from that image only to Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, or Maxell Dvd-R at no higher than 4x. Use Minus media if the distortions are solely visible on set top dvd players or TV's (as opposed to your mac or pc). Minus media will give you better results over plus media toward your objective of universal playback.
Hope this is helpful but if not just come on back.

DVD burned from a disk image won't work on different computers???

Under the directions for how to burn a DVD from an disk image, the Apple Help document (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93006) says this:
"Note: When burning a disc from a disk image, the burned disc will have the same format as the disk image. If you need a disc that will work on different computers, burn the disc in the Finder."
Does this mean that the DVDs that I am burning from the disk image won't be able to be played on a PC? a Mac other than mine? Neither? WHAT? I am planning to sell the DVDs of a workshop I present -- to people who may be playing them on PCs. Should I not be using this method (burning from a disk image) to burn my DVDs?

Video DVDs are in the UDF format. The disk image you created is in the UDF format. When you use Disk Utility to burn the disk image to writable media, the new discs will be in UDF format and all will be well.
You are doing things correctly.
BTW, unless you have an external burner with lots of cooling, if you expect to use the burner in your Mac (which DOESN'T have lots of cooling), it's a good idea to pause between discs to allow the burner to cool down. (BTW, this comment is based on the reported results of several people in the forum. If you don't allow the cool down timer, you will start to create 'bad' discs. Also it is VERY important that you reduce the burn speed in Disk Utility to 4x or lower in order to create discs with maximum compatability with players. (You should see a way to change the speed in Disk Utility afterr you have inserted a disc.)

Unable to boot on Mac Mini from DVD burned from .iso image

I'm following the Beginner's Guide to try and install Arch on a Mac Mini "Late 2009".
I have downloaded archlinux-2014.10.01-dual.iso and associated .sig, and have verified it using the gpg2 command described in the guide (including the link to http://sparewotw.wordpress.com/2012/10/ … -sig-file/ which gave some assurance that the ambiguous answer produced by gpg2 was in fact legitimate).
I then used OSX's Disk Utility to burn the .iso file to a blank DVD. After verifying the burn, it ejected the disk.
When I re-inserted it, I received a message that the disk was unmountable, giving me the option to Ignore or Eject. I chose Ignore. Then I went to the System Preferences > Startup Disk, to see if it would at least appear there as an option, but it didn't.
(I should mention that I also burned the same file to another disk using a Windows machine, and when I inserted it into the Mac I got the same message, so I don't think it's corrupted media. (Bad reader, perhaps? eek.) )
That's where I stand. There are so many variables at play here (many of them Apple-induced, I think) that I've been unable to find a solution that fits my situation. Could someone please provide suggestions / pointers / answer?
Thanks,
Chap

Scimmia wrote:Ignore what OSX tells you, just try booting from it: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1533
Exactly right. Holding the Option key caused a display of various bootable OSes, including the one I had just burned from the Mac using hdiutil (weirdly entitled "windows"). I selected it, and it booted. I now have a console. Problem solved. Thanks.
UPDATE: note that this boot disk *cannot* be seen or selected via the OSX System Preference > Startup Disk panel. Holding the Option key during startup seems to be the only way to select it.

DVD burner (UJ-825) does not recognize blank media - alignment error

Hello,
when inserting (tried several) blank DVD into my iMac DVD burner, it spits it out after a few seconds ...
error message in the logs
Jul 4 04:43:46 Bazounga kernel[0]: disk2: alignment error.
is there anyway I could re-calibrate the head of the DVD burner or is could the problem be coming from somewhere else.
N.B.: home burned DVDs cannot be read anymore (same behaviour)
When inserting a blank CD it recognises it but trying to burn a "burnable folder" is fails with error message 0x8002006E)
Finder: Write (10), block: 4294967146, count: 32 -> 3/0C/00 Medium Error, Write error
Finder: Burn failed, Wed Jul 4 05:33:38 2007
Finder: Burn sense: 3/0C/00 Medium Error, Write error
Finder: Burn error: 0x8002006E La gravure a √©chou√© √† cause d'une erreur d'√©criture sur le m√
same kind of error appeared previously with DVD's
But commercial CD's and DVD can be read after some "hesitation noise"
Is my burner dead ?

Normally this error message is caused by incorrect Format or some of the cheaper incompatible Brands of Media. I suggest you use this.
http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
I also suggest you use DVD-R Media.
it is the most recognized all around.
Be sure when you buy that your optical drive will burn at the speed it was designed to use.
Many of the higher speed media like 16X will not work on older computers.
They will give you error messages
Here is another good link that explains it.
http://www.videohelp.com/dvd
I suggest you find Maxell 16X DVD-R media in the individual Jewel Cases and read the packaging and you will see that it will burn at 1X,2X,4X,8X,and 16X this media will work with just about anything in the way of computers.

Tag at beginning of dvd burn... but not on the timeline

I just made my first dvd burn of a fcpx project and when I played back the dvd... it started with the project's video tag. Yet when I look at the timeline, it's not there. How do I get rid of this tag being the first video to appear?

At the beginning of the dvd... on playback of the burn... there is what looks like a (computer/fcpx?) generated graphic. It has the projects name at the top left and about middle bottom 1/3 is a play button... It looks like something from the event library. It's there before playing the video and it goes away as soon as I hit play with the remote. What is it and why is it there? How do I get rid of it?

DVD burned from a PC mounts as blank CDR

A client of ours has received (on a few occasions) simple photo images burned to a DVD that when they arrive, they mount on the Mac as a blank CDR, asks if you want to "Open it in the Finder" to burn to it, etc... I have allowed the Finder to mount the "blank" media (mounts with the CDR icon), and even tried burning to it to see if it was actually blank, but would get "too much data to burn" errors when trying to burn a 52k Word doc, so it certainly seems as if there is data on them, and you can see the burned area on the DVD itself (about half full).
Since this has happened a few times to them, and it is reproducible on all machines when it does, it seems it has something to do with the way the PC user is burning them or with the media itself (dual layer maybe?), and simply wanted to know if there was anyone here that knows what the problem might be, or at least have a hint. On a Mac, as you are all aware, it's as simply as dragging stuff to the DVD icon and burning... so I'm not sure what issues on a PC could cause this (or what burning program, burn setting, format, etc...). Mounts as a blank CDR, even though there is data on it, and the printing on the media itself states it is a DVD.
Thank you very much for any info!

DVD burn on Vista can not be mount on Tiger

Hi,
I've received DVD burned on Vista which contains jpg file, but my Tiger doesn't want to mount it. It's visible on Disk Utility but Mount option is unavailable. Do you have any ideas what might be wrong?
DVD is ok I've chcked it on XP.

If you burned with UDF, you may need Software Architects Read DVD. UDF, in spite of its definition, is not Universal. There are several non-universal versions of it that are only readable with third party software.

Installed New DVD burner, but it will not burn DVDs

I just installed a new Pioneer DVR-112D DVD burner but when I try to burn a DVD with iDVD 4 it will not burn a DVD. It looks like iDVD 4 will get to stage 4 of the process but it will not finish burning the DVD. Can anyone help me out?
Thank you

If you don't have Tiger, or iDVD 6 or higher, you will need PatchBurn

Chapters don't show in DVD burned from Compressor 4

I followed instructions for setting chapter markers in FCP X and they don't show up in DVD created from Compressor 4 output. The chapters do show up under the "video" menu in Compressor 4 output settings, but only project title shows in the menu on finished DVD.
Am I missing a step somewhere?
I also wonder if I should invest in "Toast" software for more flexibility in output to DVD.
Any help on this topic would be appreciated

Possibly – if you need the capability for multiple tracks and/or a bit more choice in menus. But you don't need Toast for chapter navigation.

Dvd burning from idvd with strange results

I have made a short 5 minute movie in FCP and exported it to QuickTime as I have done numerous times before. I created a menu in IDVD and then dragged QT file in. Everything looks great and plays on screen great. Then I burn the DVD. Once done I put it on TV via a different DVD player and it plays however about a minute into the video on the top of the screen I see part of another image. It almost looks like part of my G4 background screen (which is a picture) has somehow leaked through and gotten burned onto this dvd. Anyhow, I thought it was a bad DVD so burned another (TDK 8x DVD-r). Same thing happened again. Even when I put this burned DVD on my G-4 and play it I still have weird image. I went back and checked the movie again in FCP and then re-exported to QT as a self contained movie and did the whole IDVD thing all over again. Still has the weird image leaking through. By the way, before burning I did play the QT file through QT and that plays perfect! It also plays perfect through FCP. I am concerned it could be my drive. Any suggestions or hints.

Well I discovered the problem previously posted by me concerning dvd burning with strange results. I found the exact spot in the burned dvd where the video had the other image appear along the top and then went to FCP and found the exact spot on it. Lo and behold on FCP at that exact spot in the video a "marker" had been inserted. I cleared all markers and re-exported and burned again in idvd and everything works perfectly. So apparently the marker insert in FCP caused all the problems.

DVD Burned from iDVD 6.0.1 plays on iMac but not a DVD player?

After burning a DVD production on DVD-RW and DVD+RW CDs and both directly from iDVD and by first creating a disc image. In all cases they worked on my iMac but none of them worked on the DVD player. Only the DVD+RW is compatible with the player and it appears the DVD starts to load but can not finish the process. Is there something I missed or is there a bug in iDVD 6.0.1?
The iDVD production was made from scratch using Magic iDVD and some video files. The Map has no errors and there where no error messages.

Is there something I missed or is there a bug in iDVD 6.0.1?
The bug is probably the format you're burning to...
Use DVD-R. I'd recommend Verbatim DVD-R burned at 4x or slower. I'll bet that will play just fine...as long as the DVD player is relatively new (2-3 years old).

Track Will Not Burn From i Tunes

- I have one track on an album in iTunes that will not burn to cd because it is not authorized. The rest of the album will burn fine. The track will not play on iTunes or my iPod.
- My computer is authorized and long has been.
- I did not buy the track from iTunes. I burned the entire album as one set from the original commercial 2-cd set.
- Unlike the rest of the tracks, the one in question says "unavailable" in the track time (length).
- OS X 10.8
I'd appreciate any help on this.
Thank you!

Whether your computer is authorized or not shouldn't have anything to do with being able to play your own music, added from a CD.
When you check the path Musuc > iTunes > iTunes Media > Music is the track you want showing up? You could try moving it to another folder, then re-importing it to iTunes.
You should also try opening it with another media player just to make sure the data hasn't been corrupted - though it's probably an iTunes problem.
The obvious other thing is to try and add the track directly from the CD if you have it around.

Dvd burned from iPhoto not open

I burned the images of iPhoto on dvd.
When I try to open the dvd a message says: "the library of iPhoto is in a protected volume: Restart iPhoto with access reading/writing or restart with option key".
Nothin happens. Why???

You're accessing it wrong. You don't try open that Library, instead you open iPhoto normally and the disk appears in the iPhoto Window.
Or
Copy the library from the DVD to your HD. Then open it.
