How to burn movies

I cannot figure out how to burn a movie. I have some dvd's I would like to copy but cannot figure it out.

If you want to burn a movie you created in iMovie, use iDVD. Apple doesn't sell it any more.
If you are trying to copy an already burned DVD that someone else made, you can use commercial software such as Roxio Toast.
If the DVD is copy protected it cannot be copied.

  • How to burn movie with no theme

    I would like to burn movie without a theme...can't figure out how. I tried exporting to the desktop and then dragging onto Magic movie, but that still seens to require a theme.

    Thanks for replying Showman. I have seen reports on the forum as to a variation to the solution described here, but haven't tried it personally. It doesn't require looping of the movie, but is slightly more involved.
    The idea is to use a fairly basic theme, with no animation or music (one of the earlier themes if you have them). Replace the background with a black image and change all text to black. So effectively the theme is completely black. Now use the procedure previously described (which you are familiar with) to automatically play the DVD without seeing a theme (using the first drop box in Map view).
    But don't loop the movie. Now when the DVD finishes playing, it will return to the black theme (which is of course the opening menu). If you press Play or Enter it will start playing again, otherwise it will just sit there showing a black screen.
    That may be a better alternative for you. I will be interested to see how things go using Final Cut Express' "print to video" in conjunction with One Step DVD.

  • How to burn movie to dvd from imovie?

    How to I burn a home movie from imovie theater to dvd?

    Steve Jobs "BluRay is a bag of hurt"
    Not if you buy FCPX from them at $300.
    Then they will provide you with the ability to burn both DVD and BluRay.
    Not dead yet !
    The "BluRay is a bag of hurt"  is a bunch of hooey.
    Apple's business model is for downloaded everything. They don't sell software/movies/music on physical media.  It's as simple as that.
    I have iTunes, Netflix and Flixster. But the movie watching experience is always vastly superior when I just pop in a Blu-ray and watch my movie in 1080P and 7.1 sound.

  • How to burn movie in idvd without themes, chapters, etc.....

    I just want to burn some video I edited in imovie in idvd without the themes, chapters and all. How do I do this? I tried going to file>'onestep dvd from movie' and when trying to import received a message that said 'unsupported movie type - make sure your movie is in a format supported by idvd'. ????????Help.

    How to create a DVD in iDVD6 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.
    3. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: 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.
    4. 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:

  • How to burn movie onto DVD???

    I have made a movie that is about 5 minutes long. All I want to do is burn it onto a DVD so that it plays like a typical DVD movie. In other words, when I insert the DVD into a computer or DVD player, it just plays.
    I tried making a Quicktime movie out of it at full quality but when I burned it onto a DVD, all of the text in the titles came out badly jagged. I tried sharing it with iDVD but it wanted me to create themes and other stuff that was way more complex than I wanted.
    How do I burn my movie onto a DVD so that it just starts playing on a DVD player or on a computer?
    Thank you!

    It sounds like you have a burning application besides iDVD. You can skip the Export step by using the existing Quicktime version of your movie to see if that helps your titles (right click your iMovie and Show Package Contents; look in the Shared/iDVD folder and drag that Quicktime movie to the menu area of Roxio Toast or whatever you're using). Small fonts with curly elements don't work well; try a san serif font like Arial or Helvetica and make it large.
    Converting video into a format for set-top players is fairly complex work for the computer and some of that requires user decision-making. One idea is to get one of the "Missing Manual" series by David Pogue. You'll get lots of ideas and his explanations are decent. A number of people post here wanting an autoplay DVD -- iDVD can do that, but menus can add another level of enjoyment to your project.

  • 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.

  • How to burn movie files onto a disc for others to use not just watch?

    Hi! I used my video camera to record my sister's wedding ceremony and other little clips throughout the day. I want to give her those files to use however she wants. I don't want to edit them or give them to her as a watchable DVD.
    I want to be able to burn them onto a DVD-R and then she can upload them onto her computer and edit/manipulate them as she pleases.
    Problem is, the ceremony video alone is 9.28 GB! How can I get her these files? Thanks!

    Not if any single file is 4GB or larger; this is the size limit for FAT32 drives. The OP stated that one file was 9GB.
    Good point - I've kept a small, portable drive formated with FAT32 to transfer an occasional small file to my PC friends.
    Mac OS X 10.6.6 can read and write exFAT
    Since not all my systems use Snow Leopard, exFAT isn't yet an option for me.

  • How to make movie in iDVD without themes.  iDVD app quitting during burning

    I am trying to make movie without themes and still having problems. I have tried using the map view in themes, dragging movie into the first box on left, looping it - but am seeing a yellow error sign in the theme box. Don't know why this is. Have tried to burn movie anyway but iDVD app quits halfway thru. Today I tried just simply going to iDVD >file>onestep DVD from movie>select movie and inserting disc. This seems to be the simple solution I have been looking for to burn a movie without themes but iDVD still quit on me halfway thru burning just now. Is this a space problem? Disc problem? help...

    OK F Shippey - Using this computer for anything other than email is pretty new to me. I have just recently began using imovie and idvd. I have burned one idvd and working on a second. While making the movie I was constantly having to delete old footage to make room for space. In other words I don't know much about space and usage. I know that in my new imovie project it says that i have 7.53 Gb available. I know i have a Lacie external with one DVD on it. So what do i need to know about space on a hard drive while using imovie? How do you monitor how much hard drive space you have while working on projects like this? Do I find this info in About This Mac? Sorry for so many dumb questions. Clearly I don't know what I am doing. Thanks for your reply.

  • Idvd was not included with my mac mini how do I burn movies?

    dvd was not included with my mac mini how do I burn movies?

    It is now confirmed that iDVD and iWeb have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    In addition the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on.
    HOWEVER, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.
    You can purchase the iLife 11 boxed disk at the online Apple Store while supplies last or possible at Amazon.com or eBay.com.

    Thanks much, that's very helpful for step one (getting old phone onto new phone).  Very clear.

  • How to burn Quicktime movie to CD

    hello- i need help. instructions on how to burn a quicktime movie to a cd. i exported an iphoto slideshow to quicktime so that i can share with family. now, i have a .mov file but don't know how to burn it to cd. do i need quicktime pro to do this? i appreciate any help. thanks

    If you just want to burn it to a CD (or do you want this CD to play in a DVD player?) all you have to do is insert a blank CD, Choose to let the Finder handle it, drag and drop the file on the CD then drag and drop the file on the Trash (the Trash icon will change to a burn icon).

  • Pretty basic this, but I'm a total beginner.  Can anyone tell me (in simple steps!) how I burn a movie I bought in iMovies onto a DVD?  After I stick the DVD in, what happens then?  Sorry about the unsophisticated question.  Thanks.

  • How can I use iDVD to burn movies I legally purchased online?

    Please help, I have an older macbook pro with updated iDVD program. I am new to making DVDs so I have been watching and reading and trying to find any info on how to burn a dvd that can be played on any dvd player. I have purchased movies through itunes over the years and want to be able to use them off of my laptop, and i also have torrents that I want to burn. they are all either .avi or .m4v  and every time i import them into the iDVD project it will show the titles of the chapters but no movie, no pictures, and will not even autofill dropzones! Please help, I have read that i need to make the .avi into .mov but i don't have the slightest idea how to do that without paying for something to slow my computer down even more. Any solutions that are not too complicated or expensive?

    From iTunes Help:
    Movies and TV shows purchased from the iTunes Store can’t be burned to a DVD or VCD that will play in a DVD player or Video CD. 
    As for the various .avi and .m4v files, you need to convert them to something that iMovie can use, like DV,, and then pass it to iDVD for burning - always assuming they are not copy protected and you are not breaching copyright.
    For that you need mpegStreamclip:

  • How to Burn iTunes Movie?

    HI- I purchased a movie from the iTunes store and want to know how to burn to DVD to watch on my TV? Thanks

    Sorry, but you can't.
    Due to DRM purchased movies can't be burned to a DVD-Video that will work on a standalone player.

  • I recently installed the new operating system.  iMovie doesn't seem to work the same as in Mountain Lion.  I can't figure out how to burn a movie to a DVD.  Has that feature been eliminated?

    I am having difficulty figuring out how to burn my iMovie to a DVD.  Has that feature been eliminated?

    unbelievable... the amount of RAM is the issue... I found a post (http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=8448) on an unrelated matter, but the user solved their issue under X64 by limiting the amount of RAM WinXP x64 was using by editing the boot.ini file.
    The basis of the "trick" is to add " /maxmem=4096" to the end of your OS line, but I elected to copy the line and add it to a new entry so I could easily select which "mode" i wanted at boot.... like so...
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition()\WINDOWS="Window s XP Professional x64 Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition()\WINDOWS="Window s XP Professional x64 Edition - X-Fi tweak" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /maxmem=4096
    amazingly this solved my issue... but now my system properties only report 2Gb instead of 4Gb... unacceptable!
    When Can I expect a fix for this Creative?
