  • How do you burn videos taken with myIphone and stored on my computer to a DVD disc.  I purchased and tried using RealPlayer Plus 16 but got error message saying "unsopported media type"?  I alos tried using Real Players file converter with no success!

    How do you burn videos taken with my Iphone 4S and stored on my computer to a DVD disc.  I purchased and tried using RealPlayer Plus 16 but got error message saying "unsopported media type"?  I also tried using Real Players file converter with no success!  Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

    Probably the OP is no longer paying attention to this unless the OP is subscribed to this discussion.  While not really an iPhone question I guess using an iPhone to produce the movie which then needs taking to the next step makes this as good a starting place as any unless you happen to know enough about what to do to determine in which forum to post.  A suggestion in that direction would help.
    Anyway, Apple is backing off from supporting optical media.  It also depends upon what you mean by "DVD".  A DVD is just an optical disc which can support different file formats, but many people think it means a movie disc you can put in your TV.  Producing a movie disc requires special iDVD authoring software Apple used to sell but stopped several years ago.  I don't know if the old versions work under newer systems.  There's also the free Burn application which authors DVDs but takes a bit of learning and has nowhere near the features of iDVD.
    If the OP means simply burning the transferred movie files to a DVD for archiving in computer format you don't need special software for that; its built into the operating system File > New Burn folder etc.

  • I have created a slideshow using i Photo. How do I burn it to disc so that I can play it on my DVD?

    I have created a slideshow using i Photo.
    How do I burn it to disc to play on a DVD.
    I cannot access i DVD.
    Is this the problem?
    I have exported the slideshow as a movie quick time file.
    What do I do next???

    If your Mac is a new one, like mine, then it comes with a version of iLife that doesn't have iDVD and if so, there isn't an easy way to burn a DVD from iPhoto or iMovie that will play on a normal DVD player.  There is quite a bit of correspondence about this, but I couldn't find a good answer, apart from this:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18460085#18460085
    I ended up buying (via Amazon) a boxed version of iLife11, which has all the same software I already have, but with a copy of iDVD with it. 
    Seems to work well with iMovie, but at the moment, my copy of iPhoto has crashed - see:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18943719#18943719
    Having only just transferred from a Windows machine to a Mac, it seems incredibly arrogant for Apple to think people don't use DVD players anymore.

  • How do I burn a CD or DVD that can be opened on a Windows PC?

    How do I burn a CD or DVD that can be opened on a Windows PC?
    Here's what we tried - and none of this worked when we tried the CD and DVD at our local library on their Dell, Compaq and IBM PCs.
    1. We have 11 documents composed in Word (2004) in .rtf format with many, many photos embedded. The documents are in a folder.
    We first created a disk image of the folder using Disk Utility: File> Create image from folder. Once we had the .dmg which was about 1.16 GB we burned this onto a DVD choosing no compression and no encryption. This DVD worked fine on the MBP but it wasn't even recognized by any of the PCs at the library.
    2A. We tried to compress the folder to burn it onto a CD. In DU, by choosing compression with no encryption we reduced it to about 530MB. For some unknown reason when we tried to burn this onto a CD using DU, we got the message that the CD didn't have enough space. It is a 700MB CD so that made no sense - does anyone know why this would occur?
    2B. So, we went to the Finder to use its burn option. We were able to put the 530MB compressed folder which we created in DU onto a CD using the Finder. Again, this worked fine on the Mac. At the library this CD was recognized by the PCs, but Word couldn't open it. Once we got a message that it was too large to be opened (bigger than 32MB!) - the librarian did not recognize this as a default that they might have set. Mostly, we got the message that Windows could not open the document.
    What should we have done? What should we do to achieve this? I know there must be a way.

    Thanks for the extra info, K.
    This sounds like a good idea, but the CD is a gift for a friend in India and presenting him with a flash drive just won't be the same. (Although I suppose we could take the drive with us and burn something there - but that's too risky if it fails on the ground and besides, what we'd have on the drive would be Mac created, unless you have an idea on how to get around that - DU DVD/CD master? convert?)
    {Little space is gained by putting a .dmg file inside a .zip file; I've checked with some
    of mine and often it isn't really a deal maker to add a step in this process.}
    The original folder as a dmg was 1.16GB too big for a CD. As a compressed file done in DU it was about 530MB and as a zip it is 450 or thereabouts. The files are on the MBP and I am on the G4 now and it is not turned on.
    The fairly easy to use application the link takes you to, has almost no learning curve.
    It will not compress an item, but you can easily; to include putting items in folders and
    then use Create Archive to make them one package...
    The Burn 2.3 utility makes Mac+PC compatible disc recordings, in DVD and CD media.
    The simple interface is why it is handy. Otherwise, one could probably get by with the
    other methods which are native to the Mac; through other steps...
    I'm not sure what I am gaining at this point in time by doing this - if you both think archive (zip) and burn from finder will work.
    This does sound like something we can definitely use in the future, thanks.

  • How do I burn a cd on macbook pro to play on cd player?

    How do I burn a cd on macbook pro to play on cd player? Spotlight has never heard of such a thing.

    I already have them in itunes and have dragged them onto a burn folder and burned the cd. But if I put the cd in a cd player I only hear a loud buzz. I have done this before but have forgotten where to find the directions -- there used to be a link you could click to burn for a cd player.

  • HT1382 Is there anyway to convert video taken by ipad and burn it to a DVD that can play on DVD player?

    Is there anyway to convert video taken by ipad and burn it to a DVD that can play on DVD player?

    Persius,
    Nearly every DVD that will play on a set-top player *should* play on a computer, provided two things:
    1.) the computer has a DVD player that can handle that flavor of DVD media, DVD RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD DL, etc.
    2.) the computer has a software player installed. This feature has been removed from some common media players. You may need to locate, download and install a separate software player.
    There could be another discussion on interlaced vs progressive scan media, but I'll let you ask that question.

  • I want to play AVCHD videos in ipad from my JVC camcorder.which is the best tool for converting the avchd videos to formats that ipad can play?

    I have a JVC HD camcorder that creates videos in AVCHD format that ipad cannot play. Which is the best tool to convert these avchd videos to the format ipad can play?

    Airplay is a wireless streaming protocol. It allows content to be pushed from the iPad through the Apple TV onto your connected HDTV.
    If she wants to see the iPad displayed on the big screen and/or play games that involves mirroring. As long as it's an iPad 2 (or later) then you will be fine. More info on both has been referened below

  • When I transfer a video to my PC how do I burn it onto a CD.

    When I transfer my videos onto a pc it won't let me burn them.

    How are you trying to burn them? One common program to use is Roxio. Also, are y ou trying to burn them 'as is' as in as the mp4's or mov's that they are or are you trying to burn them as a dvd format so that they're viewable on a set top dvd player?
    What programs you have and what you're ultimately trying to do may help to know

  • How to burn movies onto disc

    I bought a movie off of itunes and wanted to burn it onto a disc. I have done this before with music to make cds but for some reason it isn't working. Could anyone help me out?

    You cannot burn a movie purchased from the iTunes Store to a DVD to play on a DVD player, if that's what you mean.
    If you mean you want to back up your movie, the backup to disk option was removed as of iTunes 10.4. If you want to back up your movies to a DVD, you'll need to use other Windows backup software and back up the movie files directly from the iTunes folder. Or you can just copy the entire iTunes folder to an external hard drive or other external medium with sufficient capacity.
    Regards.

  • HT201788 How do I burn photos onto a DVD from iPhoto?

    I am trying to burn photos/folders from iPhoto onto a DVD/CD but when disc utility opens I am unable to burn any of the items or folders onto the disc.  I thought that my optical drive was perhaps malfunctioning so I purchased a SuperDrive.  However, I am running into the same problem. The folders or pictures within, that I want to burn remain inactive.  How can I burn these pictures onto DVD/CD?

    What kind of DVD disk do you want to create?  A data disk that just contains the image files or a video DVD disc that can be played on a DVD player on a TV set.  They are two entirely different types of disks and require different workflows.
    If you're running Yosemite then you have iPhoto 9.6 or 9.6.1.
    For a data disk:
    1 - select the photos to be burned to disk and export to a folder on the Desktop File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu.  Set the Kind = what you want, the original file or the current, edited version.
    2 - insert a blank DVD in the optical drive.
    3 - drag the folder of photos onto the DVD disk's icon.
    3 - drag the DVD disk icon to the Trash Bin in the Dock which turns into the Burn function:
    For a video DVD disk:
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  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.

  • Burning videos onto a DVD

    I bought the first season of the TV show LOST assuming I could burn it onto a DVD. I have a DVD burner and blank DVD's but I can't figure out how to burn the shows. Does itunes allow that?

    Gentlemen, Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    From the Apple Knowledge Base:
    Videos purchased from the iTunes Music Store have FairPlay digital rights management embedded in the files and are in a format that can be readily synced to a Fifth Generation iPod. Just like with music you purchase from the iTunes Music Store, you own the videos you purchase. You can authorize up to five computers to play purchased videos, and you can sync the video to as many iPods as you like. iPod can contain purchased content from up to five accounts; iTunes will not allow you to add data from a sixth account to iPod.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301461
    What this means in relation to your questions is that you can
    b and should
    back up the videos you've purchased from iTMS.
    One method of doing so is to burn the files to a DVD as a Data disc. But you will only be able to view them on an iPod or an authorized computer.
    You cannot burn them to a DVD for playing on your home entertainment set-up, though ... unless that set-up includes an authorized computer. You would not probably want to do so anyways since the videos have a resolution of only 320 x 240 pixels and watching them on a full size screen (or medium size screen for that matter) would not be the optimum viewing experience.

  • How do i burn files onto a DVD??

    I got a NEC 2510A and it didnt come with any software
    I put in a DVD disc and windows doesnt seem to have the ability to burn files onto it like a regular CD-R.
    I guess i have to use a program?
    What is the most popular program for burning files onto DVD discs?  I am not copying DVD's just using the discs as backup for files.
    Help thanks!

    Adeptecs easy cd/dvd creator, also works and has improved greatly from 5.0.  It now almost competes with nero, there is also discjuggler and several other burning suites.  Depends on what you want to do and how much you want to spend.  Probably nero will be your best option.

  • How do you burn a data disc  in ML

    Hi
    I would like to burn  a few install programs to a data disc  so that should I ever need to I can reinstall them  but I  am a a loss as how to do this in mountain lion on 2012 imac  I do have a superdrive  but since i haven't done this before  not sure how to go about it.  I have  several installer  downloads  I purchased , I just don't want to repurchase them later if I can help it . thanks for all help:)
    also on another note but maybe related  can I use  my old idvd program from ( not for this but future home movies )  my 2008 imac  box set???

    In addition to Clinton's method (which is handy if you already have the data files in one place or are willing to move or copy them into one place), you can also make use of "burn folders" -- special folders of aliases that "Burn (name) to disc" will follow while burning. When you drag any file or folder into a burn folder, an alias is created (much faster than copying the data, and less disruptive then moving it).
    Search for "burn folder" in Finder Help for more information.
