How to create a dvd to play in dvd player from an avi file?

Hi, i have a new macbook pro and have alot of avi files of full length movies (not home movies, box office) and would like to burn to a dvd.
Everytime i convert it to an mpg or something and drag into iDVD it just bounces back to the desktop.
How do i burn an avi file to a dvd to watch in a dvd player.
Have tried the program "burn" which worked a few times but seems to stop working every now and again.
Help please!

.AVI is just a file wrapper that can contain content encoded in many ways - several of which can't be used with iDVD.

Unable to make a DVD to play on standalone player from DVDSP4

This post summarizes a problem I wrote in about last week. DVDSP4 on my main g5 will not burn a simple DVD to play on a standalone player. My second g5 can do this. This rules out problems with external players and media. I have uninstalled reinstalled the software and it still won't do it. Before that I had tried deleting the preferences. It has been able to create disks that play on the computer's own DVDPLAYER.
I have to fix this problem. What's the next logical step? A new burner? Is there something I'm missing re: the computer itself? (which seems okay.)

Take a look here for some media brands (did not see HP or who makes it). Verbatim are usually good for +R DL and Taiyo Yuden -R for single sided. (Many people swear by TYs, the DL is a bit more open)

It sounds like something fishy is going on with the machine, but worth trying other media. You may also want to try to build to another location and make sure you are formatting from there. Perhaps somehow you are using an older build?
Also check your VTS view and try making the first play VTS 1 (even if it is only a few seconds of black).
But it does sound like something on the burner itself may be off. Try the disc image as a start or use Toast if you have it. (I seem to get more reliable burns that way as oppossed to using DVD SP)

Exported slideshow from Iphoto11 to IDVD 7.12 so I could burn DVD for play on DVD player. Fine but show stops 1/2way through because DVD has 2 chapters. How do I eliminate chapters?

I exported slideshow from Iphoto 11 to IDVD 7.12 so I could burn DVD for play on DVD player. Fine, but then when playing on DVD player show stops about 12 way and starts over. Seems there are 2 chapters in show. I wan t show to play straight through until end. How do I elimiante chapters or solve problem. Thanks. Bob Low

Try this workflow:
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.
Play the disk image with DVD Player and see if you get the same start over half way thru.
Did you create the slideshow in iPhoto in the slideshow mode?
or were you in an album and then used the Share ➙ iDVD menu option? What I'm trying to find out is if the slideshow in iDVD is a movie file or an iDVD slideshow with the photos from iPhoto? If it's the latter how many photos in the slideshow?

FC/e is based upon the Quicktime-engine; so, on 'Export using QT', you'll get all codecs & settings.
but which one..
due to sheer popularity, YouTube became a 'standard' - I'm happy with the convenience, YT and the 'embed'-code offers - excellent quality, automatic adjusted to the watchers connection&hardware.
my export settings are 720p, h264, 6MBit/sec - gives a - imho! - superb quality.
(example of a 'screen-test' from my latest project CLICK )
for creating so-called 'flash video'/.flv, you need 3rd party apps.
Sorenson Squeeze is more of an pro-tool, .. you need some background knowledge to get noticeable 'better' quality.
.. and the question is: are you willing to pay $.$$$ for that 0.x% more quality .. ? does your source offers such a 101% quality, which needs such affords?
if bandwidth is an issue, because you're hosting on your own servers, consider the free codec xh264, you can install as a free QT-plug-in.. with low or super-low bitrates, it offers a superior quality compared to h264 ...

You definitely need to check what 'EVENT STRUCTURE' is and how to use it... because thats needed to write such code.

IDVD created disk will not play with dvd player.

We created a 3 slideshow DVD in Idvd 7.1.2 with an additional file of some of the photos added to the DVD ROM. It plays on tv, but only intermitantly will play on the IMAC24, and not at all on the IMAC20. Dvd player says "no compatible disk". both macs have OS 10.6.8. We are using Sony DVD-Rs. How can we get this to play?

Hi
A. I set down burn speed to x4 => less burn errors ---- iDVD/Preferences/Advance - set burn speed
B. I only use Verbatim
C. I use DVD-R
D. I secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk (only one important)
E. I use a Cleaning DVD from time to time

How do I burn photos from macbook air to dvd to play on dvd player

You also need to determine what kind of DVDs your player supports. My player will play discs with image files on it. Some players will even play files in mp4 format. If yours will only strictly play DVDs in DVD format then you have to author them with a tool such as iDVD (no longer sold).
If you are playing these at home you might see if you can ouptu video straight to the video device from your MBA.

Burn keynote prensentation onto DVD to play on DVD player

I have created a slide show in Keynote and I want to burn it onto a DVD to play in a DVD player. I exported to quicktime and created a version there. It has a .m4v extension when completed. Then I burned that to the DVD disc. It won't play in a DVD player. I tried changing the extension to .mv4 and .mov but it till won't play. This is getting expensive. I need this in 2 days. I have researched the web and followed every advice I could find. I cannot afford to buy more software such as toast, to make this work.

It has a .m4v extension when completed. Then I burned that to the DVD disc.
That is not how you make a DVD Video.
This is the workflow you need to use:
Export a Quicktime Prores file from Keynote using custom settings
Use a DVD authoring application to create a DVD Video: examples are iDVD; no longer available from Apple but Amazon and ebay have it available, or try the free test of isky DVD Creator.

Dvd not playing on dvd player

Burning the dvd works and the dvd plays fine in the computer, but it doesn't work on my dvd player (or the other two that I tried it on...all relavtively new dvd players. I think my settings may have changed or something? any suggestions? I'm exporting my clip as a quicktime and just dropping it into idvd. thanks so much!!

I see this is your first post. You have a problem which keeps coming up and I'm not sure I have see a definitive solution.
First, DVD players re designed to accept commercial DVDs and DVD-Rs are a sort of extra so they don't read them with the same certainty.
Some suggest trying different brands, verbatim is a popular choice.
It is always worth burning a slower speed than the disc rating, this appears to help.
My favourite hint is to quit all other applications whilst burning the disc. Particularly internet connection if you run an application like Entourage which accesses the net at regular interval.
Show respect! you are asking the system to burn over 32,000,000,000 and only a small number of errors will spoil the disc.
I hope this helps.

How to create a new user id in OID for Oracle Collab suite File System

Dear Friends,
I want to know how to create a new user id in the oracle internet directory where i can use that user for the new subscription of the oracle collabration suite file system..
Please do the needfull and thanks in advance...
With warm regards

Hi!
The way you suggest should not be used.
A CS user will be created as a normal OID user and will receive the CS attributes in a different subtree later during the provisioning.
For creating CS users use oesuser and uniuser. Files provisioning will work in a different manner anyway.
