How to burn wedding DVD

Our uncopyrighted DVD was created in Final Cut Pro and plays on both my powerbook and every DVD player we've tried. I'd like to make copies of this without having to pay for a reproduction service.
When I copied the disc into a folder on my desktop, then dragged the folder to an blank DVD and burned it, it wouldn't play. Also, I couldn't drag it into iDVD either.
What steps do I need to go through and what am I doing wrong?
The DVD has a video_ts folder and an audio_ts folder.
Thanks for your help.

Ashley, louie points you in the right direction.
Just a note. Apple furnishes entry level burning software with all of its computers. If I can suggest,it is well worth the Investment to step up to the top of the line in Mac burning software. Roxio makes several that also include compression software of folders that have more than 4.7gb.
There Newest is Toast 7. and then there is Popcorn.
Both of these are very affordable and have several options which include PC only..Mac only..and PC & Mac.. Both of these are very easy to use and will burn anything you send there way... Hope this helps...Don

HT1479 I would like to know how to burn a dvd in such a way that each image can be skipped over by pressing the skip button.

I would like to know how to burn a dvd in such a way that each image can be skipped over by pressing the skip button? If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!

Here's how top get a slideshow that will let the viewer manually control the forward and backward movement of the slides with the forward and back buttons on the DVD remote.
1 - put the images you want to use in an iPhoto album.
2 - launch iDVD, select a theme and add a slideshow using the "+" button at the bottom:
3 - click on the Media button at the lower right hand corner of the window and then click on the Photos button.
4 - locate the iPhoto album containing your photos and drag it into the left hand pane:
5 - select Side Duration to Manual.
In order to get the maximum manual control of the slides you cannot have add any music to the slideshow. If you do add music the slideshow will continue you advance unless you pause the slideshow and/or use the advance/back buttons and then pause.
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 and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was 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.

Insert a blank disc into the optical drive. choose Open Finder from the pop-up menu. The disc appears on your desktop.
Double-click the disc to open then drag the files and folders you want to burn to the window.
Arrange and rename the files if needed.
Choose File > Burn and follow the instructions.

How to burn a DVD with other DVD??

I'm new using the Mac OS. I don't know how to burn a DVD using another DVD, I try using the programs iDVD and iMovie HD but I think that they are for DVD creation, not for burning using another DVD

HOW to Burning A dvd with 5.1 audio AND WATCH IT AT HOME ?

I have had I nightmare with the compressor application trying to burn 5.1 audio and the film together had no luck . I wonder what does a guy do to listen to 5.1 files in his home cinema set up ? I know that I can bounce the 5.1 audio into the film in logic but can I burn a dvd with the 5.1 audio and film and take it home and listen to what I have done in a non studio environment ?
Would much appreciate some help on this cause frustration is not the word to discribe me going nuts for like 5 hours trying to figure out how that non musical program works .
Thanks for any feedback ...

Ah, got it.
Since you have Compressor I would guess you also have DVD Studio Pro. Anyway a quick movie showing how to do it. Drag the m2v and audio into the asset bin (you will see it in the lower left of the movie) then it goes through the steps. Note the audio and video streams are not the same length, I just threw it together quickly to show you. Of course menus can be fanbcier and all the rest and there may be some gotchas in the details, but it will generally work. Also make sure to set a First Play for the disc. Usually it is good to have a small couple seconds of black frames or warning on a track before jumping off to the next thing, and you can set the Track to be first play in this case if you like. try to use good media (DVD-R/+R) brands like Taiyo Yuden, cheaper media can cause issues.

Well there are alot of things to take into consideration, but that should give you a good jump start

How to burn to DVD without using a menu

How can I burn a project to DVD without using a menu? When I open iDVD, it wants me to select a menu. I just want my project to play without using any kind of menu. Can someone walk me through this? Thanks.

If you use iDVD it is quite simple: after creating the iDVD project, open the tree view, where the project is presented as a tree of menus. Drag your movie from the finder to the top (root) node of the tree, and burn the DVD. Your movie will be played just after inserting the DVD in the player, without showing any menu.

How to burn a dvd from Bridge, through the Output Module to a DVD?

How do I burn a dvd pdf slideshow? I have CC, ACR, Bridge and I have loaded the Output Module. I know how to create the slideshow in Bridge. How do I get from Bridge through the Output Module to the DVD?

Copying the pdf to DVD is an OS function, not something to do from Bridge. When you save the pdf you select a location where to save it (desktop or folder of your choice). To copy that saved pdf file to DVD you use a DVD writing program on your system or OS copy function (such as windows explorer if on windows) to copy from the location where you saved the pdf to the DVD drive on your system.

How to Burn a DVD

Hi there,
how can I burn a DVD video? I have got in a HD directory Video_TS and Audio_TS subdirectories and I have no idea how to make a DVD video with them.
A sub-question would be how to play a DVD-Movie from HD directory, in other words how to play from the two subdirectories mentioned.
Many thanks for your help.

Hi ecano,
You should ask this of the iLife/iMovie forum. I could be totally wrong, but it seems that the _TS is analog and you first need to convert to a digital format that iMovie can play nice with.

Help, I don't know how to burn a DVD!

Hello,
Not sure where to post this question but I need help with the DVD player part of my computer. It isn't iDVD I'm talking about either.
Okay so I own this collection of Billy Blanks DVD's and so I want to burn one of them onto a blank disc. I insert the original Billy Blanks into the drive. Then DVD player pops up on the bottom. I first hit New Burn Folder under File (I think) then I label it Billy Blanks. I then hit Burn Disc under the same spot (or just Burn when the box pops up) and then it says insert blank disc. So I put the blank disc in and the box that says burn disc stays up and the cancel button blinks. Then nothing happens at all. The new burn folder is always empty. The one time I did manage to get it burn the disc icon showed up in the burn folder but when I try to open it, it says the original can't be found.
How do I burn a DVD? What am I doing wrong here? I just don't get it. I hope this question makes sense.

How to burn a DVD-Video out of iMovie without iDVD (pre-installed Lion)?

I am wondering how I could burn a DVD that works on standalone DVD players out of iMovie since iDVD has been banished from Macs with pre-installed OS X 10.7 Lion.
When I try to export iMovie projects to iDVD the machine naturally cannot find the program. How is the workaround instead?
Thx for your help (Mac newbie).

I have the same issue as olifinger

You need Final Cut Studio to burn 5.1 on mac. (DVD Studio Pro, to be specific)
Yes, IMO Apple really sells Logic users short on 5.1. Sure you can author, but no delivery platform unless you pony up $$$ for FCS.

How to burn a dvd with both Mac and Windows files

I have a DVD that has both Mac and Windows formatted files. When the DVD is mounted only Mac formatted files show. I want to burn a DVD copy containing both formatted files. How do I do that? Thanks in advance.

Correction! It is a CD and there are two partitions with Mac and Windows files.

How to burn to DVD in Premiere Elements 8 to play on DVD recorder.

I'm using Premiere Elements 8 with Windows 7, quad core i760 and 8 GB RAM. When I burn a project to disc, it will play on this PC but the disc is not recognised on my XP PC nor by my DVD recorder. My guess is that I'm burning as an HD DVD but can't see any way of changing this. Can anybody point me in the right direction please?

Geoff, I think you're chasing the wrong issues. The least likely problem is that Premiere Elements is producing unreadable discs.
Have you burned your DVD files to a folder on a hard drive rather than directly to a disc?
Have you tried using DVD-Rs or DVD+Rs rather than DVD-RWs (which many DVD players can't read)?
Your source files -- no matter where they come from -- will have no effect in how your DVD plays. Once it's all been transcoded, it's a matter of your disc player reading your disc. If that's not happening, you need to troubleshoot whether this issue is a problem with the discs themselves, a problem with your DVD player or a problem or a problem with your burner.
Burning to a folder on your hard drive will eliminate Premiere Elements as the cause of the problem. If the program can produce a VIDEO_TS folder full of VOB files, then you know the problem is either in your discs or your hardware.
