Files burned to DVD on Windows XP not visible on my iMac

Of eight zip and PDF files burned to a DVD+R on Windows XP using Nero, only about half are visible when I put the DVD in my iMac.
The DVD is 4.7 GB. There is plenty of leftover space.
When I take the DVD back to my pc at work, all of the 8 files are still there.
Thanks for any help.
best,
Mac

Is there anything in common with the files that aren't visible?
No. Some zip and some PDF.
I don't think that Mac OS X is able to understand Nero files without help. There seems to be a version of Nero for Mac OS X that might help. I also found a mention that Toast can convert Nero files to .dmg format.
I never had trouble before, so I do not think that nero is the issue.

Burned a dvd but, it will not play on my dvd player for tv

I created a slideshow with itunes music added in iphoto. I tried the recommended free "burn for mac" software download. It burned a dvd but, this will not play on my dvd player for tv. What software title can i purchase that will burn my iphoto slideshow to a dvd that will play on typical home dvd player for tv AND on a windows pc?

some dvd players are very picky on what they will play some only
play dvd+r some only dvd-r some can't play dvd+rw and or dvd-rw
dvd burnable is a pretty fragmented std.

I am trying to burn a dvd and it will not allow me to do this because it states that i do not have enough space for encoding disk. how do i free up space and from where?

iDVD can only use your startup hard disk for the "scratch space" it needs for calculations during the encoding process. 25 GB is a good average requirement, but a large project (3 or 4 hours of content) might require more.
To free up space, you will have to move items to an external hard drive and/or delete items you no longer want.
Please note that iDVD can't use and external hard drive for this "scratch space".

In logic X I am trying to normalize but the track and file option in the edit window is not there at all just the drop down for pointer eraser etc. Any ideas? Thanks!..

Can't burn bootable DVD. Err: Device not supporting this operation

I'm trying to create bootable DVD of Lion. The following error message pops up after clicking "Burn" under "Disk utylity":
"Unable to burn "InstallESD.dmg" (The disc drive doesn't support the requested burn operation)".
Can anyone help?????
More background:
1. Running clean&fresh install of Lion
2. MacBookPro i7 early spring 2011
3. DVD drives's spec:

5. I was able to burn a DVD (to exactly the same DVD type) when doing the burn from under iPhoto and when launching the burn function in Finder ("right click" and select "Burn xxxx file to disc..."
6. BUT I am getting the above mentioned error message when attempting to burn the bootable DVD from under Disk Utilities. I'm following the steps recommended on various forums explaining how to make the bootable DVD drive. Briefly:
               a. placed InstallESD.dmg on my desktop
               b. launched Disk Utility. Verified (checksummed) the InstallESD.dmg file
               c. Press the Burn button
               d. The error message pops up.....
                    (The same happens with x8[max speed], x4, x2.4)

Thanks for the prompt reply. What you say is correct - the installer deleted itself after the instalation.
I then downloaded Lion again (another 8 hrs went by) from AppStore (using the "trick" with pressing "Option" button which changed "Installed" status into "Install" button) and therefore I DO have the Lion instalation content (including the mentioned .dmg file) on my computer ready for burning. (BTW, I've managed to burn a DVD with it from "Finder's" menu. I guess though, that such DVD will not work as the bootable one. Am I correct on it?
So, the status is that I have Lion's "InstallESD.dmg" file visible in the left side of Disk Utility window - the "Burner" (in Disk Utility) just doesn't want to start burning a dvd with this file. I need some suggestions on resolving it. Thank you in advance!

Burned a dvd, works on mac not on pc

I burned a dvd. originally a .mov file. but pc based media players are not reading it as a dvd.
I didnt do anything special to the DVD. I made it as basic as it gets. I need to burn something today that can play in anything without a problem, whether its windows media player or the appl edvd player or a real dvd player for a tv.
Thanks so much. I also have several different file conversion softwares that I can use if starting with .mov is a bad idea.
Austin

What codec are you using for your .mov? Did you just Export a QuickTime Movie from FCP, or did you change the codec used?
All video DVDs are SD resolution.
If quality if a concern, then you can do one of two things. Change the resolution in FCP by creating a new Sequence at SD resolution and nesting your original Sequence into it. You then have to scale down and render the file. Then you Export a QuickTime Movie. Bring that into DVD SP, or better yet bring that into Compressor and create a MPEG-2 of the video and a AC3 of the audio and bring those into DVD SP.
Or you Export a QuickTime Movie from FCP at HD resolution, bring that into Compressor. Using the setting Best Quality 90 minutes, create a new setting that is the same but with Frame Controls on. Also create a new setting for Dolby 2.0 with the Dialog Normalization set to -31 and the Compression Preset set to None. Bring those files into DVD SP.

How do I burn a DVD. I do not have iDVD, on my new Mac

I have purchased a new Mac (last one was Windows based) I am trying to burn a holiday DVD. I have made the DVD in iMovies, I have purchased an Apple disc burner, Burnt a DVD but the player can not see it - I have been told it is in the wrong format to burn straight from iMovie
I have now install miDVD but can not drag the film into it as it says it can not read the content. Would be greatfull for any help
Thanks

Hi
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)
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.
Free solutions:
Burn - a free alternative from Internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
Gives a fairly good resulting Video-DVD
Free DVD Creator.app - free from Apple Store
(very simple - Quality ?? not sure - looked problematic reg. Interlacing)

Problem with iPhoto files burned to DVD

I just installed my iLife '06. I want to back up my digital photos on DVD's. I've tried both DVD-R and DVD+R to burn to. They burn through completion stating when finished, that the DVD was burned successfully. When I re-insert back into the CD player, no disk image appears, and the CD player doesn't engage whatsoever. After 30seconds. it's ejected.
My intention is strictly to back up the photo and related data files. I'ld like to actually eventually delete them altogether from iPhoto, to free up some space...once I know I've got it all on a disk.
It plays commercially purchased DVD's just fine, as well as Burned CD's.
My profiler shows I have a Pioneer DVD-RW DVD-1060
DVD-Write -R, -RW +R, +RW.
How do I determine what is really wrong, and correct it?
(I originally posted this in a different forum and it was suggested that this forum would be more appropriate for my question. Sorry for the redundancy)
Message was edited by: don.kilometro

As of yet, no.
I just attempted to burn a DVD using a DVD-R. I selected a goup of photos from iPhoto and drug them to a burnfolder on my desktop. I selected: file>burndisk.
After the "burn" was completed, the DVD disk image with the burnfolder title was still on the desktop. I ejected it and then re-loaded it. Again, there was no response from the CD drive (no sound or movement), no disk image appeared on the desktop, and no disk image appeared on the Disk Utilities window which I had kept open to monitor it. After 30 seconds the disk drawer opened on its own.
Considering how inexpensive a new and upgraded optical drive is, maybe I should just replace it, though I would still like to discover what the cause this current problem is, regardless.

How to import .MOD Files burned to DVD?

After a recent trip, a friend transferred my videos from his Panasonic hard disk camcorder to DVDs in .MOD format. When I try to open these .MOD files, I am told "The movie could not be opened - The file is not a movie file".
Does anyone know or have any tips as to how I can get these files on to my Mac and:
a. View them in Quicktime?
b. Import them into iMovie for editing/movie-making?
My apologies, I do not have much experience in this area. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Can't see files burned to CD from windows machine

I'll keep it short.
CDROM burned on a windows PC has files that I want to view on my imac G4. When I put the CD into my mac, there are no files...only folders. If I do "get info" on the folders, they are all at zero KB. If I then take the CD to any windows PC, all of the files are viewable, and the folders show their true sizes. I can then put the files and folders on a USB drive, go back to the imac and see all of my files at that point. This has been tested thee times with the same result every time.
Any ideas?

The problem may be how the CD was formatted. Macs support ISO-9660 better than any other crossplatform format.
Recently Software Architects has improved UDF support on the Mac, though I have yet to test it to see how true their claim is:

Open window is not visible!!

Hello Experts,
We are using BPC 7.5 M sp04, SQL Server 2008, Office 2007.
On one of our client laptops having Windows7 and Office 2007 is having the problem (emerged few days ago) that certain dialog (pop-up) windows appear only in the Windows' taskbar but the window itself is not visible. The main Excel session window switches to waiting (non-responsive) mode until the open window is closed using right-click menu at the taskbar.
This applies to the following commands: eTools->Open Dynamic Template, eTools->Save [Dynamic Template] As, eSubmit->Open Schedule Library, eAnalyze -> Open Report Library.
What could be causing this issue. Please Advice.
Thanks & Regards,
Rohit

Hi Rohit,
I don't think it's a BPC issue maybe for some reason the pop-up are out of screen, if so right-click on the taskbar icon, click on move you will see the pointer that change with the for arrows then use one of the arrows key on the keyboard and you should see automatically the pop-up.

NIDaq Windows application not visible in new project

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to build a VB.NET WPF application using Measurement Studio 2013 for Visual Studio 2012.
I followed the walktrough Creating a measurement studio NIDAQmx application, but I get stuck at the point of creating the project as Visual studio does not offer me the possibility to create an NIDaq Windows application.
I have DAQmx9.8 installed for LabVIEW, I downloaded NI device Drivers 2014 feb, but still the same.
When I installed Measurement Studio, it could not find the Device Drivers, and even after downloading them and trying to install them afterwards trought the installer of measurement studio, it cannot find them.
Daqmx support for .NET 4.5 seems to be installed too, although it is not visible in the list of installed softare.
Thanks for your help,
Best Regards,

Hi Matt,
Thanks for your answer, I did a custom install and I installed .NET framework support 4 & 4.5, but I did not install Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 support, is this mandatory?
Although it is working now on some of my configurations at least.
I have 3 machines on which I have made the attempt, with the following configurations:
A: x86 desktop:
-Windows 7
-LabVIEW installed, NI-Device drivers Feb 2014 and NI-DAQmx 9.8.0 (previously installed, for labview)
-Visual Studio 2010, 2012, 2013
-Measurement Studio 2013 for Visual Studio 2010, 2012
=> NI DAQ project and NI DAQ assistant available in both visual studio 2010 & 2012
B: x86 desktop:
-Windows 7
-NI-Device drivers Feb 2014
-Visual Studio 2010
-Measurement Studio 2013 for Visual Studio 2010
=> NI DAQ project and NI DAQ assistant available in visual studio 2010
C: x64 laptop:
-Windows 7
-LabVIEW installed and NI-DAQmx 9.8.0 ( NI Devices Drivers feb 2014, but Ni-Daqmx 9.8.0 was installed before as I am usually working with labview)
-Visual Studio 2010, 2012, 2013
-Measurement Studio 2013 for Visual Studio 2010, 2012
=> NI DAQ project and NI DAQ assistant available only within visual studio 2010 not 2012....
I would like the laptop to work under 2012 too, as it is the machine I use most of the time.
Does the order of installation impact on visual studio integration?
Should I reinstall everything on the laptop from the begining? In which order?
It seems that NI-DAQmx 9.8.0 even with .NET support 4&4.5 is not enough, and it is mandatory to install NI Device Drivers Feb 2014, Is that correct? If yes, why?
Now the most important for me is the ability to check if the signal outputs are generated correctly on the simulated device, thus being able to see traces with NI IO trace, and none of these configurations, using both NI DAQ example or a project generated with the daq assistant, shows anything in NI IO trace.
I have posted related threads on ni.forums.
