How to burn iTunes audio book to CD that will play in my car

I purchased two audio books from the iTunes music store. I have no intention of sitting at my computer for twelve hours listening to the books. I intend to listen to the books on my car CD player during long road trips. When I try to convert the files I get a message that says that they can't be converted because they are protected files. How can I play them on a CD in my car?

I THINK my iTunes preferences were already set to "Audio CD" on my first, failed attempt. For this failed attempt I simply hit the burn icon in the upper right of iTunes. When I followed your advise my preferences were already set as you suggested but this time I used one of the pull-down menus along the top to select "burn playlist to ....". This worked perfectly. Problem solved. Thanks for your help.

How can I burn CDs that will play on my car stereo CD player?

Make sure the format when you burn your playlist is one your car's CD player will recognize. Typically mp3 songs are readable now but when in doubt, burn an audio cd. Yes, you will get less songs per cd (as compared to mp3 formatted one) but you are guaranteed the cd will work in any place. Most cars have it written on the radio somewhere what formats it can read for CDs.. Good luck!

How do I burn a movie to a dvd that will play in a dvd player?

If you want to burn a video file which doesn't have any copy protection (DRM), there is a great free App called 'burn OSX'. Google it if you want to use it.
If its a iTunes movie, and you want to play it on your TV you could use a cable connected to your iPod/iPhone/iPad or use an Apple TV box.

How can i convert a quick time movie file to a cd that will play in a car stereo?

how can i convert a quick time movie file to a cd that will play in a car stereo?

In quicktime, I would try File -> Export -> Audio. It will create an audio file. Then drop it onto your playlist into iTunes. Burn the list from itunes with File -> Burn to disk and then select Audio CD.
If you have Quicktime 7 it should be easier and export to AIFF directly

Has anyone used an app with the Maverick software to burn iPhoto slideshows to DVD disks that will play on any DVD player?

Has anyone used an app with the new Maverick software to burn iphoto slide shows to DVDs that will play on a standard DVD player? This probably cannot be a demo app in that the amout of photos on the slideshows is large.
Thank you,
Jim

Export the slideshow from iPhoto, that makes a movie of it.
Do you want to use this DVD in a domestic DVD player? If so, then the disk will have to be 'authored' to make it the correct form for that. If you have iDVD then that's the app you use. However, iDVD is no longer developed or distributed by Apple. You may be able to get it on an old iLIfe install disk.
Other options:

Toast: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/6351/toast-titanium
But there are lots of others too. Search on the App Store or MacUpdate

I am trying to burn a slideshow onto a dvd that will play on a standard dvd player and tv, but everytime I copy it I cannot play the disc except on my Macbook

You can't just copy the slideshow to a DVD as, you've found out, that won't play on a TV. You need to use a program that will render it into DVD format, complete with the proper lead in and trailers. I use Toast to do that, however, there are other programs that can do that too.

Burning HD content using DVDSP 4 that will play on Toshiba HD-XA2

How can I burn HD content using DVD Studio Pro 4 that will play on my Toshiba HD-XA2 DVD player? And if it is possible, can I burn it to DVD-R Discs or do I need a different kind of disc?
Thanks

I never had luck with the A2. I would try either the A1 or the Xbox player to see if that works. There were alot of bugs in both DVDSP builds and players. DVDSP makes whats called "Standard Content" HD DVDs. Toshiba had alot of bugs with these titles - even with few replicated titles for HD DVD (Earth, Wind and Fire/Chicago ) was one of them. Have you updated the firmware?

How do you burn a slideshow to a DVD that will play on DVD players and PC computers?

I burned a slideshow in Aperture onto a DVD containing about 40 photos with a sound track from iTunes. The disk will play on my iMac but not on my wife's PC or on two of our DVD players (less than three years old.). What am I missing in the burning sequence that causes the problem?

What Shutttleworth says is the way to go however you might run into one gotcha, iDvd is no longer available if you bought your current machine with Lion on it.
iDvd use to be part of iLife but is no longer offered as either a seperate download from the App Store or as part of any App Store bundle. If you can still find an iLife boxed set iDvd will be on the DVD in the box. Other then that you'll need to look at thrid party solutions.
Of course if you upgraded to Lion and had iLife before the upgrade you should have a copy of iDvd.
good luck

Can no longer burn cds that will play in my car's cd player

Yesterday I tried to burn a replacement CD for one that got damaged. The disc was one I created in Itunes a couple of years ago. It won't play in either my sound system's cd player or my car's. The only thing that has changed is the version of Itunes (current) and my OS which is now 10.6.8. I also bought an album from Wofgang's Vault, and got identical results. I tried to burn in both Itunes and straight to the CD burner. I tried audio format vs MP3. I tried a windows machine with a different CD burner, the same machine actually that I was burning Itunes discs on originally. Same results. Is this a Rights Management issue? Has something changed recently in this regard? How do I make CD's that I can play in the car?
Thanks for your help

Get a different band of CD-R.

How do I burn a slide show to dvd that will play in a dvd player

I want to burn a slideshow from iphoto to a dvd to show on a tv using a dvd player. I'm running Mountain Lion.

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
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 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.
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 retailier 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.

Can't copy iTunes or Library music to CD that will play in my car stereo

I am having problems burning purchased iTunes (and my own CDs in my Music Library) to a CD that I can use in my car stereo.
I've read the articles on how to do this, but it's not working for me.
The purchased CD is in the AAC format as are my own CDs that I loaded into the Music Library. Audio CD is selected in the Preferences>Advanced>Burning tab. I'm using CD-R music CDs by TDK. These CDs have worked in my car stereo without a problem (when I've done an exact disc copy of a CDs I've purchased at various stores). The car stereo is a factory installed multi-disc CD player in a 2005 Lexus.
Before trying to burn a CD in iTunes, I create a separate playlist and copy the songs I want to burn to that playlist and then select the Burn Disc button. The burning process works just fine. However, when I look at the contents of the burned CD, it only contains 1KB files (one for each song track). When I look at the properties of the files on the CD, it says the files are to be opened w/iTunes. Well, that totally defeats the purpose...my car obviously doesn't have iTunes.
Everyone else I talk to says they just hit the Burn disc button and they get a CD that works in their car. What am I doing wrong???
I've also tried re-importing the burned CD (w/the 1kb files) using the AIFF format and then burning a different CD w/those newly AIFF imported songs, but I get the same result (and waste another CD)...1kb shortcuts...
Oh, yeah, and I have TWO Dell computers (both w/the newest version of iTunes (7.0.2.16). I tried burning a CD on BOTH computers but got the SAME result (nada) on both.
From searching on the message boards, no one else seems to have this problem...what am I missing??

Nevermind...apparently I have no clue what I'm doing...it works...

After buying and downloading videos from itunes, how can I burn them to a DVD that will play in a standard DVD player? I have tried burning the playlist from itunes, and the disc would not play in anything I put it into.

Out of excitement, I bought both seasons of the tv show "Sym Bionic Titan" from the itunes store, since I can't find it anywhere else, in hopes of being able to burn them to dvds and watch them. When I burned the disc from itunes, it would not play in any player I put it in. Not my dvd player, not my ps3, nothing. So the only place I can watch the show is on my computer, which is definitely not what I had in mind when I purchased it. Is there a way to burn the videos to a dvd that will play in a dvd player?

Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.
