Is DVD Creator good for burning MP4 video to dvd to view on TV

Is DVD Creator by Aimersoft good for burning MP4 video to dvd to view on TV?

I tried the trial and found the theme/menu option too simple to interest me, so I deleted it. I use iDVD to add some pizzazz to my movies and then either burn it with iDVD or Roxio Toast. As for burning mp4: you might need to check on that - as far as I know, movies need to be in an mpeg-2 format to be able to play on a regular DVD player - the apps I use automatically create the correct format.

  • Encoding error when burning mp4 videos to dvd-rw using idvd

    hi all, i'm trying to burn mp4 videos on a blank dvd. i used the magicdvd option in idvd 08 but the error message of "encoding error" had appeared before it burned the videos to the dvd. could you please let me know if mp4 is not supported by idvd? i heard i must convert mp4 to mpeg-2 in order to watch it with regular dvd player, can i do that with mpeg streamclip? is mpeg-2 supported by idvd? thanks!

    Hello Alarkin,
    is there a free alternative to toast?
    Yes, it's Disk Utility - just follow this procedure:
    1. create the disk image in iDVD
    2. double-click the resulting .img file to "mount" it. Next launch DVD Player to view your DVD .... if everything is fine, close DVD Player and eject the virtual disk.
    3. Open Disk Utility and drag the disk image into the left hand pane, then hit burn.
    Note: Set the burn speed to 2x or even 1x. Most burn errors are the result of high burn speeds. Also use only high quality DVD-R media (e.g. Verbatim)
    hope this helps

  • Which DVD are good  for burning

    I tried many different dvd/cd for burning movies and music, but they are not all working very well.
    Does somebody knows which dvd are good for burning movies and music.

    Hi Sue,
    Thanks for your answer. I bought them also before, but it seems that not all working very good.
    I burned dvd's and play them on my Home theather. Beginning good, later it gave reading problems. What I also know is: Dvd players from 40 euro's works better then one from 1600 euro's.
    I shall buy the -R this week and hopefully the work better.

  • Best settings for editing MP4 videos in Pre9?

    Hello!
    I have some MP4 video's that I wish to edit.
    When I edit them and try and save them, I am struggling to find the best settings to use.
    If I try making them Pal DVD widescreen the motion is very jerky.
    If I use H264 wide screen the file is enormous.
    For example the mp4 is 1Gb, when edited and saved as H264 the file is 18.4Gb.
    Any one have any suggestions?
    Cheers.

  • My "Saved-for-iPod" mp4 video stops, while audio continues...

    This has recently happened both with saving iMovie HD 6.0.4 projects as mp4s, and for DVD. 1) In iMovie, I imported a .mov I made in iPhoto (slideshow with jpegs & added music). Just that one file. I then saved it for iPod. I played it in iTunes, and the first minute is fine, but then the video "freezes" while the audio continues. Same thing happened when I synched it to my iPod. 2) In iMovie, I imported 5 avi files and added dissolve transitions. Sent to iDVD 6.0.4 and made a DVD. Same thing. The video image freezes at some point, and audio continues. I previously made DVDs successfully, by importing avi files to iMovie HD 6.0.2 & adding transitions. I can't figure out what could be wrong. Any help is appreciated.

    I have the iPod Touch 32GB and my video podcasts do the same thing. The video portion just freezes randomly but the audio continues on. This happens with a variety of video podcasts on my Touch. Very annoying and unacceptable for unit in this price range. I would love to see a solution to this problem!

  • Good .rm to .mp4 converter?

    I have some Real pLayer movie files, whats a good, free converter that I can DL to make them good iPod quality .mp4 videos?

    Actually, I think iTunes will convert them to AAC so they will be compatable for your iPod.

  • How to burn a Video CD?

    Hey all! I downloaded few videos which are in Real Player format. I want to burn these on a CD and view it on big screen. I copied and pasted them on a CD and played it in my CD player but its not working. Also, what do I do for burning a video DVD? I tried iMovie HD and iDVD but it gives a message that it accepts only files which are supported by Quick Time Player. I do not know how to play the videos in real player format in Quick time. Is there a way or all the videos should be supported by Quick time player itself? In windows I used to burn CDs and DVD's using NERO software, which has options clearly like burn a video cd or audio cd etc..
    Please help me out with this. Thanks for your time.

    I use Burn alot, works very well for what you are wanting to do.

  • Question about VOLUME LEVELS for BURNING...

    when i download music from the itunes store, the volume levels sound fine when i play them from itunes or the ipod. but when i burn the albums to CD, the volume is significantly LOWER than other audio CD's. the same is true when i burn them in mp3 format. does anyone know how to adjust the sound levels (turn them up) when i burn the albums, or is this a common problem with music downloaded through itunes? i don't encounter this when i copy directly from an audio CD and burn to another. someone HAS to know something about this. it's really frustrating. help me out, friends.
    Dell E1505   Windows XP  

    With all due respect, I have burned alot of CDs with soundcheck checked and the recipients of my 'mixes' all complained. I noticed it as well. Perhaps there is another place where user checks soundcheck...?
    I know soundcheck can make playing disparate tracks in itunes level, but that does me no good for burning.
    Thanks for the reply.
    PS: here are reviews I read re: ivolume. I have no idea whether or not they reflect the views of others, but they do exist (source: http://www.macupdate.com/reviews.php?id=12687&pid=142223). I hesitated considering ivolume because some of the problems seem to be linked with itunes 7, which I use.

  • I recently got a MacBook Pro and want to burn my videos taken with my iPhone to DVD. What is the easiest program for me to accomplish this? Help!

    I recently got a MacBook Pro and want to burn my videos, taken with my iPhone, to DVD. What is the easiest way for me to accomplish this? I've been told I need to download a DVD creator/burner. I've downloaded 3 different free versions, but none of them seem to recognize the video files from my iPhone. I don't need anything fancy or complicated. I just want a way to store these vidoes and be able to play them on our DVD player. Help!

    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder on your PC to /Music/ on your Mac.
    Then delete what you don't want.
    You will need to authorize yrou computer for the iTunes account yoru mother has.
    You should create & use your own iTunes account for any more purchases.
    You don't need to export anything and definitely don't need to (and shouldn't) convert anything.

  • How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc which has ample remaining free space? After preparing the new video for burning and clicking on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject.

    How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc with a video previously successfully recorded on it? (The disc has ample remaining free space.)
    After preparing the new video for burning and clicking in the File menu on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject. My assumption has been that iDVD would automatically find the free space and continue with the new recording from there. I'd be grateful if anyone can shine light on this.

    There are, but not with a DVD written as a movie disk. It must be closed when completed, or it doesn't work.
    Apple's built in Burn utility also automatically closes any data CD, DVD or Blu-ray disk you burn. Doesn't matter how much space is unused, you can't use it. You'd have to use a more advanced disk creation app, such as Toast Titanium. I then have the option of choosing to write the data as a session:
    I can keep doing this until the disk is full. If I've written five sessions to the disk, when I put it in the drive, five CD/DVD icons will appear on the desktop since the OS will treat each session as if they are separate physical disks. At any point you choose Write Disk when writing a group of data, that means you're closing the disk, and again can't add anything after that. So if I had written two sessions, and the third was Write Disk, it's over. I can't put anything else on that disk.

  • I am trying to get a good copy of my home video on DVD using IDVD.  On editing the video all the viewing screens show the video perfectly in HD.  When I burn the video to DVD all the end results are buzzy with squiggly lines.  Any fix?  Thanks?

    Hi
    There are several layers to this Q
    A. There are no HD in DVD - DVD is as standard only SD-Video what ever tools used to produce it !
    iDVD or DVD-Studio Pro or Roxio Toast™ - will only make SD-Video on DVD
    B. DVD can be better or worse
    • Using "Share to iDVD" is no good way - Better is Share to Media Browser and as Large (NOT HD as result will be worse)
    • Using iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - are not tools to chose if highes quality is of importance - iMovie up to HD6 or FinalCut any version is far better as they send over all lines to iDVD and not only every second one.
    • Using Right encoder quality depending on movie and Manu duration is very important
    • Use of high quality brand of DVD - is important - I use Verbatim DVD-R
    • Type of DVD - DVD-R plays on more DVD-Players (even old ones)
    • Burn speed - I set it down to x4 - resulting in less burn errors - plays on more players
    • I secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up Mac OS hard disk as iDVD and Mac OS needs this and it can not be taked from other hard disks - has to be here.
    • What You feed iDVD does matter
    Video codecs
    Audio file formats
    Photo file formats

  • Burning ipod videos to dvds for viewing?

    Is there any way to burn ipod videos onto a dvd for watching on a tv? I know there's some way to do it, but I don't know what it is. Anyone know of a program with a free trial i can find somewhere?

    Videos purchased from the Itunes Store cannot be burned to DVD as they are DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected and thus locked. As with any DRM file, each has an embedded code within the file that only Apple knows. DRM locks you into where, what and how you enjoy the entertainment you paid for. You own it, but are restricted to how you use it. Hope that helps.

  • Have a .mp4 video and would like to use it to burn to a disc and be able to be played on a dvd player, should i use idvd or what? also have a .avi file what should i use? thanks please help

    Have a .mp4 video and would like to use it to burn to a disc and be able to be played on a DVD player and a .AVI file what program should I use idvd?

    iDVD may or may not work with them – depending what kind of MP4 and AVI each is.
    Drag them into iDVD and preview them to check compatibility.
    If there are issues, use MPEG Streamclip and re-wrap them as QuickTime.

  • After bringing in the movie from a video camera in iMovie and enhancing it tiles and transitions etc how do you and where do you save the project for burning DVD's using iDVD?

    Where do you save a movie project for burning DVD's using iDVD?

    I recommend that you use SHARE/TO MEDIA BROWSER in Large size. Then in iDVD, you open the Media Browser and navigate to your project. You can drag it into your iDVD project from there.
    You can also use SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and save to the location of your choice. You can then drag and drop into iDVD.

  • Just not getting render for burning to DVD

    Using Premiere elemtns 12.  I have video in MP4 that I am burning to DVD.  Does rendering affeect the MP4?  Rendering seems to create a new MP2? file that I am not understanding if the MP2 rendered file is used for burning to disc.  Not worried about burn time want the best looking video.  Thanks

    Looks like it is OK, but to be sure on the fine points....
    a. There is nothing in your video properties given that tell me whether the .mp4 is 4:3 or 16:9.
    Your screenshot indicates that you are setting the project preset for 4:3 with your choice of
    NTSC/Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorder - description showing the Pixel Aspect Ratio = 0.9091.
    Do to double check, import the .mp4, right click its thumbnail in Project Assets, select Properties, and
    read what the Pixel Aspect Ratio is. If the Pixel Aspect Ration = 0.9091. Good.
    b. Now the only other thing that could trip you up is whether or not your video is interlaced and has a
    Scan Order (also called Field Order) = Lower Field First (also called Bottom Field First) or Upper Field First
    (also called Top Field First).
    A video properties readout program such as MediaInfo (Tree View) would give you that information.
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/mediainfo/
    Just watch out for carryalongs with the download - can mess up your browser(s).
    If your .mp4 has a Field Order of Top Field First, then you are OK with your project preset
    NTSC
    Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorder
    Standard (or whatever you confirm between Standard and Widescreen)
    If your .mp4 has a Field Order of Bottom Field First, then you should use the project preset
    NTSC
    DV Standard (or DV whatever you confirm between Standard and Widescreen).
    (This has a Field Order of Bottom Field First.)
    The whole thought is that the DVD-VIDEO format that you are heading for represents interlaced
    video with a Field Order of Bottom Field First, and you want the project preset to be in keeping with
    that characteristic.
    So if you are starting with video with Top Field First, the Hard Drive Flash Memory choice is supposed
    to be taking care of this Top to Bottom Field First matter.
    ATR
    Add On...I stayed with the Top Field First and Bottom Field First (MediaInfo readout designations) throughout the post to be consistent with MediaInfo. But within Premiere Elements, you will be seeing the Upper Field First or Lower Field First counterpart descriptions.
