How to format DVD-R so a movie will play in a DVD player

How to format a DVD-R useing HP computor so it will play in any DVD player Bought movie from I tunes

Sorry, but you cannot burn a movie or video from the iTunes Store to a video DVD. The content owners will not allow Apple to make that possible. You can view movies from the iTunes Store only in iTunes on a computer or though one of Apple's players (iPod, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV).

How do you save and burn a movie to play on a dvd player to show on your tv

I finished a movie, and saved it as a MP4 file. How do you save and burn a movie to play in a dvd player and show on your tv.

I found an iDVD program through Softonic. Do you know anything about reliability and if it is safe to download this one? If not do you have any suggestions for one I might download.

How do I change file format so I keep HD and can play on blu ray player?

how do I change file format so I keep HD and can play on blu ray player?

Hi
Part of it - in my way of doing is
Roxio Toast™ Pro incl BD-component.
• Burn short AVCHD - on standard DVDs (20-30 minutes at HD quality) - NEED Blu-Ray player to be viewed
or BD-burner and disks - for full Blu-Ray Disks (not got to this yet)
I think that saving as .mpeg4 H.264 and save on USB-memory to be put into PlayStation3 also keep high quality playback.

Buy iDVD.
Yes, there are other programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the substitutes. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD.
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/idvd.html
With iDVD you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.
IDVD is easy to get. It is available on disk as part of iLife 11.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40. (works with all Mac OS 10.5 and newer.)

Try using VLC Media Player 2.0.6. EasyWMA 3.3.5 or Music Converter 1.5.1 should be able to convert them to .mp3.

How to reinstall DVD Player?

Hi everyone -
For some reason my DVD Player (4.6.5) wasn't playing my DVDs (originals, not copied) and kept giving me the error message "Supported Disc Not Available".
So I trashed the DVD player and emptied the trash. I downloaded the DVD player off the Apple site and tried to reinstall, but it says that it can't reinstall since a newer version exists on my HD.
Any thoughts on how to remove DVD player completely and reinstall?
Thanks!

Yangster:
Glad your issue is resolved.
Let me reiterate what Steve said that you do not delete applications as a remedy. Re-installing when there are problems in the system does not necessarily remove the problems, and may create more.
If you don't mind, please take a moment to mark any posts that were helpful or led to your solutions, if there are any.
Good luck.

HT1498 How can I find out when a movie will be available for rent?

How can I find out when a movie will be available for rent?

You can't. A movie's only available for rental if the copyright holder allows that; nobody except for them and Apple would know when or if a specific movie will be.

Why some movies will play on home sharing and others won't

Why some movies will play on home sharing and others won't

Fixed it! I guess that I had installed avast! a few days ago and completely forgotten about it. That seems to be what the problem was, because I uninstalled it and it's working fine now. Thank you though, you rang the bell that reminded me! (:

My movies will play on my iPod but not my computer

I've purchased a few movies in iTunes (2 Days in Paris, Inglourious Basterds) that play fine on my iPod—and have bought television shows that play on both my iPod and Macbook—however the movies that I have purchased on my iTunes won't play on my computer. This is the computer on which I bought the movies and I am using the most current version of iTunes. A screenshot shows up in "Now Playing" but I otherwise get a black box where the movie should play (screengrab attached). Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way to fix it?

I'm having the same problem. All suggested fixes from Apple have not worked. I get the same picture in the corner, and the menu screen will show up too and play music, show the screen shot in the corner for each of the scenes, but no movie will play. I'm at my wits end -- I hope someone has a new fix to try.

How can I convert Music Videos or Movies to play in iTunes ?

I am running Windows 7 Professional and I have alot of Music Videos and Movies that I am wanting to play in the new iTunes ( 11.1.5.5 ). I am trying to find a good Program that can convert alot of these so I can import then into iTunes . I do not have Quick Time installed on my computer , to see if they will play on Quick Time. I play most of them with the VLC Player . My computer just will not give me the option of playing most of them with iTunes , so I realize that most of them are not compatible with iTunes .

Here's one way:

Or, you look for software like this:

How can I verify if SHRNK or MOVE will reclaim space?

Hi all,
I need to optimize a 9.2 and a 10.2 database.
I suspect fragmentation to be one of the causes of slowness (some queries do a lot of full table scan), but I want to rebuild only the objects which really contain unused .
How can I verify in advance if an ALTER TABLE SHRINK or ALTER TABLE MOVE will really reclaim free space? I'd like to verify if some segments are good candidates for shrinking rather when do an "ALTER TABLE MOVE" on the whole database...
Is DBMS_SPACE.SPACE_USAGE the only thing I can use?
thanks in advance for every answer.

Normally I use this package from Tom Kyte to check the space usage of the object.

How to connect DVD player to FIOS TV (with standard TV)

The Verizon techs installed my FIOS system. I already have the router, DVR and standard TV connected and working. How do I add a DVD player to the mix?
I found wiring diagrams for my FIOS DVR, but they do not include my configuration. Here is what I found:
http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/FiOSTV/Receivers/Wiring+Diagrams/Motorola+7232+HD+DVR/12763...
The above diagram includes an A/V receiver, which I don't think my configuration includes. The tutorial does not offer a choice of configuration that is just the DVR, standard TV, and DVD player.
Where do I find a wiring diagram that connects my DVR, standard TV and DVD player? Do I have to do anything to the router when I connect the DVD player? Sometimes I see references to set top boxes--are they the same thing as the DVR?
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sorry to hear about you trouble.
If you are using a standard TV you need to check the back ports for RCA connections. They are listed as video/audio inputs, with color coding.
From your DVD player use RCA output jacks, yellow for video, red and white for audio
Take other end of RCA cables and connect to TV inputs at the back
Set your TV to what ever input was used for DVD player and this should allow you to see DVD from TV.
I sent you a PM if further assistance was needed.

How To Get DVD Player Back?

I was once dumb about 2 months ago to go under accounts, click on advance options and simply change the name of my account name. I changed it because I didn't like it; it was the first time i've ever done this and had to manual drag and drop everything from an old account to a new one. My Macbook runs perfectly but I have to assume that the one thing I missed during the process was DVD Player...
Recently I've had to use Front Row only when viewing DVD's. Not the worst thing, but a big downer when I want to surf the web at the same time or work on other apps.
How I can I get DVD Player back?
All advice is generously welcome.

DVD player doesn't live in a particular user account. It sits in the Applications folder at the root level of the hard drive. Migrating from one user account to another could have no effect on it. As mentioned, you can reinstall it from the install DVD using Pacifist. while you wait for your install DVD, you can use [VLC player|http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html] to play DVDs.
