Idvd not loading movies

I just bought ILife today. When trying out idvd, I cannot get any movies to appear. The movies appear in itunes and in Quick time, but cannot get them to appear in idvd. Any suggestion.
Thanks.

Hi
I think that the info about iDVD and what it is or not - are to scarce.
iDVD can encode some few video formats to some DVD brands (it is picky)
It Can't play - anything else than the movie project that's under construction
if the parts is of the right sort.
So to begin with - a movie in iMovie can be used directly if iMovie 1 to HD 6
If iMovie'08 or 09 - then it has to be published to the media-browser first.
iDVD - IS NOT a general video converter to .mpeg2 and video-DVD format
.avi - can contain movies that works - BUT MOST OFTEN don't do that = wrong format
and so on
May be some of tutorials might guide, some of them on internet

  • I rented a movie on an iPad mini while connected to wifi. Now I'm in the car with out Internet and when I try to play the movie is says "could not load movie" what can I do? I purchased it from iTunes and let it load fully before leaving.

    Can somebody help me figure this out? So before a road trip I rented a movie on my Ipad mini. The movie fully loaded before I left. It downloaded under wifi. Now that I'm in the car I tried to watch the movie but it isn't working. When I press play an error message pops up saying "could not load movie" can I not watch it with our wifi? What's going on? What can I do to watch the movie?

    Having the same problem. Watched 25 minutes of a rental and it stopped with the message"unable to load video"
    Using current version IPad mini.

  • After watching 25 mn, it stops "Could not load movie"

    I rented a movie on my iPad from iTunes Store.
    After 25 mn of watching it stops and it says "could not load movie” then it has been fully downloaded.
    The Apple assistance says "if your download was interrupted
    1/ From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    2/ For iPad, tap Downloads."
    But I don’t have Downloads button ("More" give me only the kind of movie)
    If I go back on the icon of the movie on iTunes Store, it suggests me to "play" and the problem remains the same.
    I switch iPad off and on again, nothing better happen.
    I put 3 days to download in HD, so rental will expire before the end if I delete and I try to download it again.
    Any idea? Thank you.

    When I tried that I got a message that moving the rental HD movie back to the computer would delete it instead and I would have to re-rent (for an additional fee) the movie. 
    No word from Apple on how to solve this problem. 
    Does anyone here have a solution? 

  • "Could not load movie" with YouTube videos.

    Hi there,
    In both the past and present I have had much difficulty with playing many YouTube videos on my iPod touch 4. This happens to be the case no matter if I am in the YouTube app or on the mobile YouTube site in safari. I will try to play a video to watch it and often times I blue box will pop up saying 'could not load movie'. This makes video viewing and sharing quite difficult! Please help! Thank you very much!

    Here is an explanation for you for the "could not load movie" error, which I have also received on my iPad.
    If you run across this error on your iDevice, keep the following in mind:
    This is taken from another site, so I will quote:
    "Most of the time its due to the age of the video upload, this one for example was done back in 2009 which was 2 years ago now. YouTube as you know relies heavily on Flash for video playback which is not compatible with the iOS range.
    However to combat this, YouTube did work on converting chunks of videos to H264 playback, but by default the entire backlog of videos did not go through this conversion process...so you will find the odd video out there that does not play.
    I believe though (and please someone correct me here if i am wrong) YouTube by default now encodes uploads in H264 as well as flash and a few other formats for multi-platform enjoyment :-) "

  • "could not load movie" error message

    Hi my name is Patrick. I downloaded a tv show episode SOMEHOW three of the same episode downloaded. Want to delete these episodes (I have already seen them) one episode can be deleted but the other two episodes won't delete when i swipe. It starts opening the movie, and when I'm offline, it won't play and it says "could not load movie" but when i'm online it plays. It's weird.
    How do I delete these two episodes?
    iPod touch (4th generation), iOS 6.0.1 I'm looking to NOT reset my iPod

    Thank you so much! That worked. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! YOU ARE MY HERO!!! THANK YOU!!!

  • "could not load movie" effing error...

    I tried a soft reset but problem still the same .( btw when i do a soft reset i do not see the apple logo appears like some say... Is it normal ? I just obtain a dark screen and the device shut down thats all..)
    So what can i do coz im very angry about this.

    Realizing the above YouTube links could have been taken down, so it will not apply to those, but if you run across this error on your iDevice, keep the following in mind:

  • IPad:Could not load movie

    I downloaded a 'digital copy' DVD via iTunes onto my Mac. I then synced it to my iPad and when I try to play the video it says 'Could not load movie'. Is there a solution?

    Having the same problem. Watched 25 minutes of a rental and it stopped with the message"unable to load video"
    Using current version IPad mini.

  • Could not load movie on ipad

    I downloaded my first tv show from iTunes onto my ipad (not rented) and it played fine.  Went to play it again the next morning because wanted to have it in the car for my son to watch, it said  "could not load movie".  I don't sync to a computer anymore and sync to cloud.  Tried reset, reboot, and reconnecting to wifi, but nothing works.  If this means I have to sync to a computer, forget it - I just won't use iTunes for movies,  what the h*** is going on?

  • HT1657 Why did i get Could not load movie error

    I recently rented a movie from iTunes, onto my iPad. I was charged and it appears on my rented tab. When I go to play it I get a message "could not load movie". What's wrong?

  • I rented a movie on itunes and synced it to my ipad but it says that could not load movie?

    I've rented a movie from iTunes on my computer which I synced to my iPad - or at least it appears to have moved over however when I hit the play button on the iPad it tells me that it 'could not load movie',  I'm not sure what to do next?

    If you rented and downloaded it directly on the iPad then it should be in the Videos app - if it's not then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

  • IDVD not loading my iMovie projects

    Hello,
    I really, really, hope someone can help.
    I created a film in iMovie and would like to create a DVD with chapters/menus etc using iDVD.
    Once I had finished my film and set the chapters etc I went to Share -> Media Browser and selected HD 720 and clicked publish.This seemed to work fine and took some time as my film is 57mins and 33 seconds.
    However, when I open iDVD, create a project and then go into the Media section by clicking on the Media button and then clicking on Movies..it just says "Loading iMovie Projects...."
    Now I'm not sure how long I should have to wait...but nothing happens....it just says that message and nothing...just the swirling icon to say it's loading....
    - Now I don't even have many projects in iMovie...about 4 and they aren't as big as this one which I have been working on for some time.
    After doing some research I have been able to double check imovie shared the movie (from what I did in Media Browser) as their is a .mov file in the 'Show Package Contents' of the original iMovie project file called: "720p.MOV".
    Not sure how it all works but I want iDVD to allow me to access the film I shared in Media Browser and then create a DVD that has all the chapters I set in iMovie and so allows me to create a good DVD with all the sub-menu's etc.
    I hope all that makes sense? I just really am struggling to understand why the iMovie projects won't load in iDVD?!? All this work for nothing?? I hope not!
    I was advised to create the DVD this way - I know there is another way to do it in iMovie - Share -> iDVD.....I think I did try that once and it crashed but do I need to do it this way? will that work?
    Hope someone can help and advise me of a way to do this. I don't want to burn this as a DVD without chapters and slick menu's. I was really counting on iMovie and iDVD to work. The screenshot of what is happening follows:
    I am using iDVD 7.1.2, iMovie 11 and a 2008 MacBook Pro (2.2 GHz Dual Core Intel) with 4gb ram and the rather crappy geforce 8600M GT with 128mb.
    Thanks

    To test if - trash pref file is right You can Safely do
    • Start a new User-Account (Apple / System pref/set-up / Accounts
    • Log out and into this
    • Try iDVD - Does it now beheave - then trashing iDVD.pref file can be of big help (in original Account)
    Delete iDVD pref file
    • Delete iDVD pref. file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
    iDVD pref. file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named.
    com.apple.iDVD.plist
    While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iDVD.
    If You run Mac OS X.7 or more - then the Library in the User-account folder is invisibly and need to be set to be viewable. IT IS NOT in the Library on Root level (when opening MacintoshHD - first window = root level)
    ( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter: chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )

  • IDVD not loading imovie projects

    I have made many movies via imovie and idvd yet this time, when I opened idvd to burn my movie, the wheel just spins around and idvd fails to load my processed project. It recognizes all other movies in my Movie folder (including iTunes, archived and backed up movies on other drives) but NOT the two that are in IMovie. I have followed the same steps as always and shared the project via Media Browser. However, all I get in Idvd is the spinning wheel as it looks for my projects. I reset the preferences to look in the iMovie folder but this does not help. I went to this folder directly and used drag and drop to insert the movie to burn to disc and hopefully this works. But what gives that the projects are not loading into the Media pane? Any suggestions as what the problem might be?

  • Flash player 11 is not loading movie

    site movie is not loading , help please

    This is now happening with 11.8.800.94 with browsers and Weather Channel Desktop app.  White, black or blank screen on many web pages -- but not all.  YouTube seems unaffected.  When right click on a blank/black/white screen, grayed out message "Movie not loading" appears.
    Uninstalled Flash Player using adobe uninstaller, then installed older verisons dating back to 11.2.x.  NO CHANGE.
    Obviously I have no idea what is going on, or what to do next.
