Help burning DVD

When I burn my final DVD, I get some strange posterizing effects. I've tried re-exporting my video from FCP and now I want to burn a "test" DVD but when I try I get a warning that "a VIDEO_TS Directory already exists. Choosing delete will overwrite the existing VIDEO_TS contents."
What does this mean? Will it overwrite my current project or can I go ahead and burn my test without losing my project?
Thanks!

It will overwrite the DVD that you previous created.
You can choose another burn folder, or delete that folder or overwrite it.
If you elect to overwrite it, then the test DVD that gave you trouble will be deleted and replaced by the new one.
The project stays intact.
please take the time to mark a response as solved or helpful

  • Desperately needs help burning DVD from iPhoto

    I am using iPhoto 6.0.6. I desperately need help burning a DVD of a slide show that I created for my daughter's wedding.
    I put several songs together by opening them and then combining them using QuickTime Pro. I imported the audio into iTunes and created a slide show using iPhoto. The slide show is perfect! The slides are finally in sink with the music just as I want them! But I don't know how to burn the slide show as a DVD.
    I tried exporting the video from iPhoto to my computer, but at the end of the export, I get this message: please note that the music included in the slideshow can only be played on authorized machines. And when I try to play the video (after the export), most of the music on the video cannot be heard. When I try to authorize my machine, I am told that it's already authorized.
    If someone would send detailed instructions on how to proceed, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Is your problem the DRM audio tracks you purchased from iTunes store?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • URGENT HELP Burning DVD from Final Cut Pro

    I have a video due to buyers bye wednesday. If anyone knows how to take the movie I made and burn it to a DVD, please let me know as soon as you can. It wont let me export it to iDVD and when I try to "print to video" my camcorder only picks up the sound and not the video. I need help PLEASE!!!!!!!!! Thanks everyone. Zack

    For exporting to iDVD, chose FILE>EXPORT>QUICKTIME MOVIE (not quicktime conversion). Select SELF CONTAINED and USE TIMELINE SETTINGS. Then import this file into iDVD and when you click BURN, it will compress it to the DVD format for you.
    As for the Print to Video issue, look at the following list to see if it is one of these:
    Shane's Stock Answer #8:
    A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
    Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
    Then go View > External video > all frames
    Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
    Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
    Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
    If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
    1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
    2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
    3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
    4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
    5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
    6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
    If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

  • Help burning DVD w/Toast 7

    I'm not able to burn a DVD of a movie w/ iTunes on the soundtrack using Toast 7 on external LaCie burner (no superdrive on my iMac). When I drag the movie into Toast, dialog says 'only apple iTunes can burn data'. I'm 'iTunes authorized' on my iMac so what's up?
    Deano

    The quick and dirty way is to burn the iTunes song(s) to CD,
    Put the CD Into the drive open iMovie and select the soundtrack off the CD to import into iMovie's timeline at the same position on the timeline as the old soundtrack that you're going to replace.
    PS. The iDVD forum can help you with burning an iDVD project or creating an iDVD disk image to burn to an external burner (Superdrive not required) if you're interested.

  • Help burning DVD with Disk Utility

    I have a Mac Mini with a SuperDrive.
    System Profiler confirms that I can write a DVD-R:
    But Disk Utility won't let me burn a DVD. With a brand spanking new blank DVD-R in the drive, it says "Write Ability: Read Only":
    What's the problem, and how do I burn my .dmg disk image?
    Mac Mini Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Eject the disk.
    In disk Utility, select the disk image file and click the burn button.
    A drop down window should appear and ask for a blank disk. Insert the disk.
    Soon the window should change and show burn options, and the burn button at the bottom right should turn blue. Choose any options you need and click the blue burn button.

  • HELP! MacBook Pro cant recognise or burn DVDs but only CDs, and...

    Hi all
    I noticed that there many of you have the same problem, but I really need some advice here, my MacBook Pro cant recognise or burn DVDs but only CDs, well actually occasionally it does recognise the DVDs then it burn but cannot write (on Toast), also in many other apps, like iDVD or DVDSP, it does run well on the first part of the burning but then failed at the end, with all kinda diff error msg. I have tried using many diff brands of disc too, inc verbatim.
    So I borrowed my friends external DVD writer (actually a cheapy one with no brand), when I tried to burn using the external then an error msg comes up and says the writer cannot recognise the disc.
    I dont wana get the MBP to repair but just wana get a external DVD writer to solve the problem, cos i need to use my computer and dont have a replacement mac, but now I am worry if the problem i now having is a system problem or just hardware, not sure if it is because the DVD writer i borrow is cheapy so it doesnt cope with mac, or just my MBP have system error that cant burn DVDs...
    But my MBP can burn CDs so it is not a hardware problem? and if that is a system problem so even I buy a new DVD writer wont solve the problem?
    btw, I have tried many solving methods like rewriting permission, reset PVRAM, etc
    PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS HELP

    I'm having the same problem you are on my 2.4GHZ Core2Duo MBP running 10.5.2. It will sometimes recognize DVDs, sometimes not... it chuggs and clunks and then spits the disc out. If i re-insert it a view times it will show up on the desktop. I get failures from Toast as well as iDVD. If i keep trying i have been able to burn files onto a disc with the finder, but then the burner fails during the verification. If put the disc back in the contents appear to be correct (after a quick look). Burning CD-Rs seems to be working fine, that with the occasional DVD write seems to point away from the HW. I am trying with both Memorex DVD+RW and Verbatim DVD-Rs...
    I have tried the command/option-PR reset combo with no luck.
    Any ideas?
    thanks,
    -graham
    PS the specific error i got from iDVD was: The error #-2147352539 was reported…

  • Unable to burn DVDs because I renamed the drive the project and burn files are on. Please help.

    I am unable to burn DVDs because, not thinking, I renamed the external drive the project is on. How do I fix the problem in DVD Studio Pro 4? I changed the name back on the drive, the files show as linked, but it won't burn. I've tried to refresh the assets, didn't help. Relink is not available to try. I tried to go to file/advanced burn & build, but it was not available either. I'm new to all this so am very afraid to trash the preferences, not knowing if I'm going to do other harm.
    Thanks,
    Trish C

    Reimport the files and drop them into the project.
    Your links should work.

  • I need help finding a program to burn dvds on my ibook

    i have a hp dvd1040 external DVD burner, my ibook g4 reads it, and i can burn cd's,and watch dvds with it, but the program it came with to burn dvd's is only for windows, I'm looking for a free program that i can download but cant seem to find any, any suggestions? thanks!

    Not sure about the capabilities of the HP external drive in question,
    but with a variety of drives known to be supported in Mac OS X
    for certain tasks, there are some freeware and shareware utilities.
    One that may be helpful, if not in that case, in the general arena,
    is this open-source Burn 1.721u freeware. It can do quite a bit:
    http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/
    It may be, the better type of external DVD recording device would
    be a FireWire one; as they are generally better suited with Macs.
    In any event...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • PLEEEEEEASE HELP!!!!! Burning dvd problems

    ok, i had the imac g4, and i was burning dvd's perfectly fine with it, using idvd. i'm using dvdxdv to transfer from my dvd recorder, put it in to imovie, then record off idvd. now my dvd's are incompatible with my dvd player.
    do i need to use a different program to tranfer from dvd to my mac?
    what am i doing wrong?
    thanks

    Robert,
    This really doesn't sound like an iDVD issue, but a disk burning issue. Don't be too surprised in going back to iDVD5 doesn't help.
    Burning at a slower speed on other media is the first thing to try, along with a proper cleaning of your DVD burner.
    But let's look at your image first. When you mount the image file and view it with the Apple DVD Player, does the video look good there? Or is it still jaggied?

  • PE3 crashes when I click "burn dvd". Any help, please?

    Hello. My PE3 works just fine, except for one problem, that has plagued me for some time. When I finish editing, then complete the menu (title) page, I click "burn dvd". Invariably, PE closes. When I re-open the project and redo the menu- the forced closure didn't save the menu- it works fine, every time. I tried saving the project and re-opening before burning, but it doesn't seem to help. I'm running XP, Service Pack 3, with 2.80 GHz and 1 Gig of ram. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi
    No audio on DVD disc.
    Most common origin.
    1. Imported audio from iTunes.
    • In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
    • Use this in Your movie project
    2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
    Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
    (iM’08 & 09)
    3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
    large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provocing it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
    176x144
    480x360
    640x480
    720x540    960x540
    4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
    • Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
    5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
    Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
    6. Ed Hanna
    Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
    Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
    That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies—except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format—that I have noticed.
    7. GarageBand fix.
    In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
    (if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
    Before burning the DVD.
    • Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
    • Double click on the .img file
    • Test it with Apple DVD-player
    If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
    Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
    • In iDVD 08 - or - 09
    • Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
    • OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it
    Yours Bengt W

  • I want to use my home dvd player to burn dvds/cds onto my MacBook Air. Please help!?

    I want to use my home dvd player to burn dvds/cds onto my MacBook Air. I have an hdmi cord with thunderbolt connector. Where do I go from here?

    Apps for OSX aren't in iTunes: they are in the App Store in your Applications folder. The payment method is the one registered in iTunes. There's no app actually called Yoga Studio, though there are several Yoga apps. There is an iOS app called Yoga Studio but it appears to have no OSX equivalent, though I haven't done a detailed search.
