Havind I- DVD, burned disks/movies copied onto lots of DVDs.

I made a DVD for the company I work for. They would like to make several copies and send it to other departments. They are asking all about layers, capacity and other things and speaking a foreign language!
Can a company who copy DVDs for companies just take the DVD I have made and whizz is through their machine or can i movie projects that are burnt, only be burned again from scratch rather than copied. It has chapters and all the other bits that IMovie / IDVD can use etc.
Also, some people have had difficulties playing the DVD on combi tv/dvd players and some other players. Currently use DVD/RW+ disks but having read some posts may switch to DVD- (which i hear are even worse for compatibility as many machines dont play DVD- at all!.
Help - what if they can burn it and then it doesn't work, I will look very bad!

yepp, you can use your "master" to copy as much copies you need, including all chapters etc...
using your Mac, read...
HOW TO copy previously-burned DVD-R video discs:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42724
… and for sure, a commercial copy center can do that too... RW+ is a little exotic, but.. anyhow... (ANYone could erase your disk! it is reWritable...!)
for best compatibility, use dvd-r; + is little/not supported on older standalones; same wir -rw media.... keep away from dual layer -rw, these are just supported by the latest standalones and computer drives....

    Then your iTunes must be looking at the removable disc, not your hard drive. Did you actually copy the songs onto your computer, or simply tell iTunes to look at the removable drive?
    Highlight a song and click on File/Get Info/Summary>Where and check the location that iTunes has listed for the song. What does it say?

  • Burning Purchased Movies onto a DVD

    If I purchase and download a movie from the iTunes store, can I burn that movie to a DVD the same way that a burn or back-up my music to a CD? Also, if I put the movie onto a DVD, will it play in a DVD player?

    Not exactly, to anyone reading the Terms of Service, it's not all that apparent really. Here's what the Terms say:
    "(vi) You shall not be entitled to burn video Products or ring tone Products.
    (vii) You shall be entitled to export, burn (if applicable) or copy (if applicable) Products solely for personal, noncommercial use. "
    To me, this just tells me that I can't burn video products, but then contradicts itself saying that I CAN burn video products, but only for personal use (in other words, the standard rules of not reselling or distributing videos, as all videos state in the beginning)...
    I did read the Terms before making those purchases, and they are not very clear. So with this in mind, I do blame Apple for not stating the terms more clearly...

  • Burning a movie onto a dvd

    I made a 4 minute movie on imovie. I want to burn it onto a dvd so it can be viewed on a dvd player or on another computer. How do I do it?

    You need to use an authoring program to burn a DVD disk that can be played on both computers and DVD players. That is what the iLife application iDVD is designed to do. Use it. The basic process is that you open iDVD and create a new project. You will need to select standard or widescreen. Once iDVD opens, go to its Preferences and select PAL or NTSC depending on where you live. In the US, you need to use NTSC. Next choose a theme. Then use the Movies tab to locate your iMovie and drag/drop your iMovie into the main menu of iDVD. You can customize the font type, size and color in your iDVD project. When you have finished editing the project, you can either create a disk image file of it and burn disks from that using Disk Utility, or you can just insert a blank DVD disk and burn it directly.
    Be sure to use a good brand of DVD disk such as Verbatim, Maxell, Sony or Taiyo Yuden; not store brands, TDK or Memorex.
    Also, select a burn speed of 4x or less.
    Have a look at the iDVD tutorial for the version you are using so that you can learn how to use iDVD:

    This one is for iDVD 6, but iDVD 8/9 are not that different.

  • I can't find iDVD on my computer, and I need to burn a movie onto a disk. Help?

    I can't find iDVD on my computer. I need to burn a movie onto a disk, and I need it quickly. Can someone help me? I've searched for iDVD in applications, but it's not there.

    iDVD is no longer supported by Apple and does not come pre-loaded on new Macs.
    If your computer did not come with iDVD and iWeb preinstalled, you can ask Apple for a free copy here:
       http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
    Alternatively, you can purchase a boxed version of iLife '11 from Apple, Amazone, etc. Boxed versions come with iDVD and iWeb still on the disk.

  • Burning a movie onto a DVD+RW ??

    How come when I burn a movie on my DVD+RW, it works when I play it through my mac laptop computer, but it doesn't work in my DVD player???
    Do these require two different disks or something?

    one of my older set top dvd players also has issues with rw (and/+ plus) media. not uncommon. I think it's because some RW's have a lower reflective surface than standard dvd-r (and again this varies by brand /manufacturer). so yes, this can happen.

  • Been trying to burn a movie onto DVD and get this "The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media" Anybody know what it means and what to do? Help! Thanks

    Been trying to burn a movie onto DVD and get this "The disc can’t be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media" Anybody know what it means and what to do? Help! Thanks

    It generally means that the media is faulty or of poor quality. Most of us here use Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden media.
    OR
    Your Superdrive may need a clean.
    If you have further questions please state what Mac, with what versions of OS X, iMovie and iDVD you are using.

  • I burned a movie onto a DVD-R, but can't be played on my macbook, why is that?

    I burned a movie onto a DVD-R from my macbook, but can't be played on my macbook, why is that?

    What program did you use to burn the DVD? What format is the movie in? What happens when you insert the DVD into the MBP?

  • Is it impossible to burn a second copy of a DVD after you have burned the first from iDVD? i am using OS 10.6.8 and iDVD version 7.1.2. the DVD is inserted, then iDVD ejects it, but keeps running as though it is working but it's not.

    any help is much appreciated.

    thanks guys; but the problem is that iDVD does not want to burn a disk now from the original movie-project. i see the movie project on teh desktop and can launch it just fine - even play it through the iDVD application - but when i click burn, it asks for a disk (I insert a memorex DVD+RDL 8.5Gb 240 minute dual layer) and it ejects it a few seconds later. the IDVD progress bar still runs as though it is burning just fine - its progress drops from 18 minutes all the way to "less than a minute" and then it hangs. even if i insert a different memorex disk, it still doesn't start actually burning it. it only burned the very first memorex disk i inserted successfully. i have tried disk utility to burn from a .dmg file copy of the original successfully burned disk, but disk utility can't burn onto the memorex disk either. maybe something wrong with the super drive? thanks for your ideas.

  • How do you burn an iPhoto slideshow onto dvd?

    I am trying to burn an iPhoto slideshow onto DVD - any tips? Thanks!

    If you want to create a video DVD that will play on a set top DVD player to your TV read the following:
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

  • Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from I-Photo not viewable by a Windows PC?

    Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from iPhoto not viewable on a Windows PC?

    Because you did it wrong? It's hard to know unless you tell us what you did.
    What should work:
    Select the photos you want to share
    File -> Export and export them to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to the disk with the Finder.
