How can I burn a QT file to a CD or CD ROM?

I'm doing a job for someone who wants me to convert some of his digitally transferred movie footage to a Quicktime file and put onto a disk - in order for him to do his own editing on his computer.
At first I was going to create the QT file and import it into iDVD, where I would then format the title page to have just one "Play Movie" button.
For his editing purposes, is this the way to go? Or do I need to purchase any particular video CD - where he can bypass the DVD's title page and go straight to the QT file?
Any advice would be most appreciated.

Am now in the process of exporting Quicktime to create data DVDs (later to be used for editing in iMovie). I've already created one DVD that's approximately 20 minutes in duration, and it seems to work fine when I drag and drop the Quicktime .dv file from the DVD icon to the desktop.
When go to export from iMovie, the dropdown menu gives me "Camera", "Quicktime", and "iDVD". Once I select Quicktime, the next dropdown menu gives me several Quicktime formats to choose from: 1) Web Movie, small 2) Email Movie, small 3) Streaming Web Movie, small 4) CD-ROM Movie, medium 5) Full Quality, large and 6) Expert
At first I tried using #5 (Full Quality) but never had enough room to drag the QT file into the DVD, so I went to #3 (Streaming Web Movie), and it worked. Burned it onto a DVD and so far life is good.
Afterwards I tried to export iMovie to QT #4 (CD-ROM, medium) just out of curiosity, and the resolution on this version of QT appeared sharper.
My question is: Since the guy will be editing this to create DVD's for his family, before I burn any more DVDs...should I stick with Quicktime #3 (Streaming Web Movie, small), or QT #4 (CD-ROM, medium)?

    If you need simple burning, do as Robert said. However, if you need more advanced options, take a look at Roxio Toast 10 Titanium. There is also a Pro HD version if you need more video burning options.

  • How can I burn a disk of photos with a modified file name?

    After importing photos from scan device, I use Photos > Batch > Change to rename files.  When burning a disk the changed file names do not transfer with the image but use the original file name.  How can I burn a disk of photos with the modified file name?
    This is what I have done so far with no success.
    Drag selected photos from Event to Burn Folder where the file names were changed. Burn folder lists file with original file name.
    Drag albums to Burn Folder with the same result.
    In Filer I am able to change the iPhoto Library > Master > Date > Filename and then drag to burn disk folder and see the changed name but this is a single file exercise without a view of the file's image, but to use the new file name in iPhoto events I have to repeat the naming convention.

    File > Export.
    In the resulting dialogue note the "Name" section. Choose to use the Title as Filename.

  • How can I burn a dvd with a short movie file on my Imac so it will play on a dvd player? I keep getting an error message on my player "wrong disc type".

    How can I burn a small movie file to a dvd that will play on a dvd player? I keep getting an error message "wrong type of disc" on my player. My burner is built in to my monitor. Will I have to buy software such as Toast to burn with?

    I'm using the burner utility that came with the computer. The video is on I took with my small camera. I'm using a DVD-r disc and I drag the file to the disc icon then hit burn and everything seems ok. I can remove the disc and put it back in and see the file but if I put it in a DVD player it won't play, just get error message.

    Hi Joanna,
    What Adobe application are you working with? Are you working with a PDF file in Reader or Acrobat? Is the Save As command available? If you are using Acrobat/Reader, is the PDF password protected (do you see SECURED in the title bar)?
    Best,

  • How can I convert an M4A file to an MP3 version?

    How can I convert an M4A file to an MP3 version?

    Thanks for your reply but that's not my problem.
    I know that I can burn an M4A file to a CD and then import it back as an MP3, but that's an annoying process and wastes blank CDs.  I thought iTunes had a menu choice to convert a selected file to MP3 format.  I guess that's not true with M4A versions. 
    I will simply buy my music from Amazon from now on and I won't have to deal with this file format and protection nonsense.  I can download music from Amazon in MP3 format as the rest of my music is in.

  • How can I burn a dvd now that I can't download premiere pro cs6 with Encore?

    How can I burn a dvd now that I can't download premiere pro cs6 with Encore?

    Here's what you do to get Premiere CS6 + Encore:
    Just click here (it's the same link as the more information link in CC.)
    or
    Go to your Creative Cloud application (on the menu bar) and go to Adobe Premiere CC and click more information
    There is a dropdown menu that says "Adobe Premiere Pro CC" near the top.
    Click it and the other option is "Adobe Premiere Pro CS6."  Select that.
    Now on the top right corner of the page it has a download button that says "Download Adobe Premiere Pro CS6."
    It is included in your CC subscription.
    However, a word of warning, you cannot use Adobe Dynamic Link to link to a Premiere CC sequence directly in Encore.  A CS6 sequence still works fine, but if you have a CC project, you will need to encode your sequence into a DVD friendly format (MPEG2 file).  I'm really hoping that Adobe changes this in their upcoming release, and just adds the ability to import CC sequences into Encore, then I would be fine with them not including it in the normal CC package, or updating it.  But I haven't seen anything about it in the release notes.
    A lot of people still want their DVDs and it's a lot easier to just dynamically link the sequence.

  • How can I burn a dvd without themes?

    how can I burn a dvd without themes?

    (From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
    How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
    1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
    2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
    3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
    Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
    4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
    5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
    Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
    • create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
    • Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
    • Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
    • Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
    • Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
    • Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
    • Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
    http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
    Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results.  That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option.  Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I burn ipod touch videos to dvd?

    How can I burn ipod touch videos to dvd without compressing and losing quality?

    iDVD is not longer officially supported by Apple, but still works like a champ.
    In iMovie 10, go to File>Share>File, choose the size (probably should choose either SD or Large) then click Next, give it a name, then click Save (remember where you saved it).
    When the activity indicator shows that the Share has completed (may take a while depending on your hardware and the length of the movie) go to iDVD. Go to File>Import>Video and select the file you just created. It will bring the video into your iDVD project.

    How can I burn a 60 min Hd video on a PC at best quality, I can't split the project in the timeline?

    Harbi
    I replied long before post 7, but my reply did not get posted...instead it remained unsent. I have been having computer Internet connection problems. I was able to recapture it from restore feature of posting. Below is what I wrote.
    Thanks for the reply.
    Just in case note....for a regular DVD player, granted it is important to have a video format that the player supports (namely DVD-VIDEO format); however, the other half of the consideration...the player needs to support the disc type (media type) that the video format is on. I do not know of a regular DVD player that supports DVD-VIDEO on a memory stick.
    If you have recorded PAL 1080i (1920 x 1080 @ 25 interlaced frames per second), that interlaced video exists with Field Order: Upper Field First.
    But, you end product DVD-VIDEO is characterized by Field Order: Lower Field First. If you run into this type of Field Order problem, then there are 2
    possibilities to get that taken care of
    a. Assuming that you are using Premiere Elements 11, 12, or 13....set the project preset (manually) to
    PAL
    Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorders
    Full HD 1080i25
    or
    b. Import the source media using
    PAL
    AVCHD
    Full HD1080i15
    and then, for each Timeline 1080i, right click it, select Field Options from the pop up menu, and then select Reverse Field Dominance.
    When you export to file, you lose the opportunity for menus. The only export to file with menus is found in the webDVD export which is
    in reality a flash file with menus. That might be a consideration for playback through the web browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox.
    If putting a file on a memory stick is a working possibility, you might want to look also at AVCHD.mp4 1920 x 1080p25, but all depends on the
    support of the player.
    Lots to think about. If you need clarification on any of the above, please do not hesitate to ask.

  • How can I burn an iMovie project onto DVD?

    I just finished a project on iMovie. I need to burn a copy on a DVD.
    IDVD does work for my needs. The old versions of iMovie had an option to burn DVDs.
    So... how can one burn an DVD copy without using iDVD?
    Also best program to convert file format from iMovie ... i.e. Windows computer?

  • How can I burn my imovie creation onto a disk so that it will play on windows or other computers?

    I have been trying to burn my imovie project onto a DVD to show it to my school, but the school has windows computers so the disk won't play. I have already tried to use iDVD but nothing is working. How can I burn my project onto a disk so it will play on a windows format? I have the latest version of imovie by the way. Any tips or advice would be helpful. Thanks!

    What do you mean by "nothing is working"? Create an iDVD project, burn to disk and it can be played on a PC as long as the PC can play video DVDs, either commercial or home made.
    Export the movie out of iMovie as 480p.  Open iDVD, select your theme and drag the movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones that may be present.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty 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.
