Is it possible to burn a dual audio/data CD on an iMac running Leopard?

I'd like to burn an audio CD with the MP3s included on the same disk. Can I / how would I do that on my iMac?
thanks
chris

When you burn an audio disc it doesn't matter if you burn just 4 minutes or 54 minutes, the entire disk has been used up. The only way it might possibly work is if you have software that lets you burn a multi-session disc. Burn a session then see if you can burn the audio on the rest. I've never thought to try doing this.

Cannot burn songs to a "data disk" on new iMac

I have some demo songs that I can burn as Audio CDs, but sans a CD title and track titles that I need for easy sharing. However, when I attempt to burn the same playlist as a CD data disk in iTunes using Mountain Lion on my New iMac I cannot initiate a burn after clicking burn and inserting a blank CD.
It spins waiting for me to "Please insert a blank CD" . Both times I used identical blank ativa brand CD-Rs rated 52x 700MB 80 min. However the same blank ativa disks can be burnt as "data disks" on my older core 2 duo iMac running Snow Leopard. What gives?
The same new iMac has song and CD titles missing using Toast Titanium 8.

Hi,
Create a play list that you wish to burn. Select playlist, the file from main menu which gives to an option to burn the playlist. A pop up box appears allowing you to select burn speed and disc format.

Does Captivate 7 have the capability to do dual audio recordings?

Does Captivate 7 have the capability to do dual audio recordings?
Do the setting of the recording devices affect its ability to do so?
I am working on an HP EliteBook 8560W.

When you say "dual recordings", do you mean two audio sources (say audio playing from the laptop and narrator recording the audio)? If yes, then it is possible. You have to select the System Audio check box and the source of your narration audio before you start the recording.
If not, please mention your audio sources and also type of recording you want do.

Possible to burn DVDs of videos purchased from iTunes

Is it possible to burn a DVD of the music videos i purchased with iTunes.
I can't stream the audio portion to my airport express, and i want to listen to this version of "City of Blinding Lights" through my nice stereo, not my computer.
Any thoughts shy of running an audio cable from my sound card through a few walls? =)
thanks,
chris

Just to verify I've selected all songs and made sure they shared the same information and I've selected "Get Info" and numbered the tracks in order, so yes, I've done the obvioous stuff.

Nano lacks dual audio output?

When I plug in my Nano into the Alpine iPod adapter of my car audio deck unit, I have to unplug the headphones to get the Alpine to receive an audio signal.
I'm pretty sure that the regular iPods were able to receive an audio signal through the dock connector with the headphones plugged in.
Is this the way the Nano is supposed to work?
This is annoying because I've found that the easiest way to wear out the connectors of the headphones and the connectors of the iPod is to plug in then and unplug the headphones on a regular basis.
Can this be corrected in software? Perhaps a dual audio output can be activated with the next firmware release? If not, it should be possible to direct the audio output to the dock connector instead of the headphone output when the dock connector is active. This can be done as an optional setting in the menu since I would assume that not everyone would prefer this setting all of the time.

Did you get your Nano to play? I have a 420i adapter for my Alpine HU. Plugged in the Nano, the unit recognized it. The Alpine splash displayed on the Nano but, no sound.... Had a mini before and everything worked fine.

An investigation of times required to burn DVD during 'audio' phase.

These figures are for a 1 hour 40 minutes movie, with 3 tracks of Audio, trying to save to disk image on desktop. 80 Gig of HD free.
When iDVD appears ‘hung’ it is actually saving to a file, called ‘tempmovie.mov’, in the iDVD project, which in turn is actually a package. I used a spreadsheet to track the size over time of this file, which hit a max of 1.01 GB in my case.
• First attempt, 3 audio tracks....
Rendering Menu/Assets took 3 1/2 hours.
Rendering Audio
- Phase 1. iDVD ‘locked’ and ‘unresponsive’. Rendering the file tempmovie.mov took 42 hours using up to 80% of processor time. iMovie used 12-18%. Initial spurt of several hundred Mb of file size in an hour, then about 100 Mb in second hour, then adding to the file at a low of 10 Mb per hour, high of 15 Mb/hr.
- Phase 2. Spinning activity wheel (burning wheel?) started back up after indeterminate time (running at night). New file called ‘CurrentAudio’ created, but not added to, no files ‘growing’. iDVD unresponsive, but not marked in the Activity Monitor as such. Menus greyed out.
Rest of audio terminated after waiting 60 hrs with iDVD using average of 13% processor time. I gave up on it, had to force-quit. iMovie was using about 8% of the processor time.
• Second attempt...Single audio track.
Trashed old iDVD project. Opened iMovie file with Garageband; took 41 hours processing time to merge the 1 stereo track and two mono tracks to 1 stereo track. Saved audio as two stereo tracks of 192 bit AIFF in less than 10 minutes. Exported it to iTunes.
Turned off two tracks in iMovie file (top & bottom tracks), erased third (center) track and imported Garageband track to center via iTunes. Sent to iDVD.
Rendering Menu/Assets took 3 1/2 hours
Rendering Audio
- Phase 1. iDVD ‘locked’ and ‘unresponsive’. Rendering tempmovie.mov took 16 1/2 hours, max. 80% processor for iDVD, max.12% for iMovie. Initial spurt of 240 Mb file size in first hour, then about 130 Mb in second, 90 in third hour, 66 in fourth, average of 45 +/- 6 Mb per hour after 4 hours. At end, 20Mb file ‘CurrentAudio’ created.
- Phase 2. 14 hours at least spent with iDVD only using average of 2% of processor, iMovie using 5.5%. No spinning ‘burning’ wheel. Again, iDVD was unresponsive, but not marked in the Activity Monitor as such. I terminated the process with a force-quit.
• Third attempt. Trashed, then re-installed iMovie & iDVD, with updates. Single audio track, erased the turned-off bottom track, as Activity Monitor had showed iDVD still opening the clips from the turned off bottom track during the second attempt.
Trashed old iDVD project. Made small edit to iMovie project. Changed destination for finished disk image to Movie folder rather than desktop.
Rendering Menu/Assets took 3 1/2 hours
Rendering Audio
- Phase 1. iDVD ‘locked’ and ‘unresponsive’. Rendering tempmovie.mov took 1 hour 45 minutes. Initial spurt of 600 Mb file size in first hour, then about 570 Mb/hr for balance. max. 88% processor for iDVD, max. 3.2% for iMovie.
- Phase 2. 11 minutes to save disk image.
Conclusions.
Using three tracks of Audio increases the rendering time enormously (42 hours for audio).
It also pays to erase unwanted tracks in iMovie rather than just unticking them (16 hrs vers. 1.75 hrs for audio).
It takes the same amount of time to render three tracks in iDVD as it does to export them to Garageband, (and you still have to re-render in iDVD afterward).
Either iDVD doesn’t like saving to the desktop, or I had a corrupt/missing file that prevented saving the disk image. Probably the latter.

Brian,
this year's price "Most Longanimous Person of The Year" belongs to you!! THANKS for you efforts and reports..
you've probably read Karl Petersen's reports about some mysterious "benchmark", when an iM project gets stuttering/unrespondsively due to "too many" audio clips..
.. I'm actually producing my Xmas gifts.. 55min project = 2h encoding ... (see spec below) ...
but: I'm editing my iM projects mostly on an external harddrive; and it is a "habitual ritual" of mine, to import the final movie as QT/Full Quality file onto my internal hd, THEN fire-up iDVD => never had any trouble with audio-encoding; my videos are "solid" dv-streams ...
so, how about adding that (single dv-stream of your movie) setting to your test set-up ...?
and: why the hack 1:40h for testing?? why not ... 5min? ;-))
happy holidays ..

Is it possible to create a dual y-axis chart in Xcelsius?

Is it possible to create a dual axis type chart, mixed bar and line?

Xcelsius does not currently have the ability to create a dual axis chart. However, other users have been able to create a workaround by layering two charts on top of each other and hiding the undesired elements of the second chart. A third chart can be added in much the same way to display the second axis' label(s). Searching the internet for articles from users should locate step by step instructions.

Is it possible to burn 1 dvd project onto 2 dvd's at the same time?

Is it possible to burn 1 idvd project onto 2 different discs at the same time. i have an external burner so that wont be a problem i am just wondering if it is possible to burn both at the same time

You can't do it out of iDVD.
If you create a disk image file (.img) out of iDVD you MIGHT be able to do so using Roxio's Toast and the .img file.

New version of iTunes will not allow me to burn audiobooks to audio CDs

i just pruchased an audiobook from iTunes. as i've always done in the past, i went to burn an audio CD to back it up. i have did this with Diamond's 'Collapse' and was signaled that it would take multiple audio CDs. no problem. when i went to burn this new audiobook, i was given a warning that sometracks could not be burned to a single audio CD. no kidding? i clicked 'OK' and then was prompted that the tracks would not fit on one audio CD, but would require multiple discs, just as it had always been. no problem. so, i clicked 'OK' and waited, and waited, and waited... you get the picture. nothing happened. i tried it several times. same result. so, i can't burn my new purchase to an audio CD with the newest verion of iTunes. this is irritating because now i can't burn it to audio discs in order to listen to it in my car. why is this not working? i've also had issues with other aspects of the new version, but this is the most immediate problem. my last question went unanswered, so PLEASE someone help me out here since you can't go to iTunes for any help. thanks in advance for any assistance.

I think I've discovered what the new iTunes lets you do. You need to drag and drop a new playlist into the iPod. After about 10 tries at this, and 2 forced quits of iTunes as the screen froze, I finally saw my playlist listed under the iPod contents and the synching began. Then the iMac told me that synching was impossible as it couldn't find the device. No iPod connected! So now iMac shows no iPod attached, but iPod thinks its still synching. I'll leave it for an hour and see what happens.

Mel, Sure, although that is "copying," not "burning." It is easily done, as follows:
Insert the USB stick into your computer, and open it up so it looks like a folder. Highlight the songs you want in iTunes, and drag them into the folder.
If you normally run iTunes in full screen mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag.

Is it possible to burn a movie in full HD quality?

Is it possible to burn a movie in full HD quality?

Hi,
I found the solution to this after two days of head scratching and frustration. Here are some of the things I noticed in my investigation of the problem, and the solution:
iDVD does NOT FULLY/CONSISTENTLY support HD or footage that is imported from FCP X -- when it is rendered you will get reduced quality visuals in your DVD.
Using the "create disk image" option to create your DVD has the same end result.
I found my way to success the following way:
Save your original file from FCP X -- note its file size. If it's a .MOV file you will need to recreate and save to your hard drive because you will need am mpeg file. Your original .mov file is now simply a reference.
Use FCP X to create an mpeg version of your footage from its share options.
Once done, note the SIZE of the file -- it should be larger than your original file.
Purchase Toast if you don't have it -- I am not a representative for the company... I just like what works --(or use DVD Studio Pro, if you have it) to create your DVD ~ DO NOT USE iDVD FOR NEXT STEPS ~
Toast screen shot below:
In Toast, select Video, HD DVD and name your file. Note the size of the file in the bottom of the window... it should be the same as the mpeg file... if you notice the file size is smaller (or the same as the original file size) you have a setting wrong.
(Since I used Toast I won't reference DVD Studio Pro here... don't want to make this response longer then needed...).
Once you verify the correct file size, make any other selections/changes you like for your DVD, then burn it.
You should end up with a DVD with the quality you are after.
Good Luck!

Is it possible to burn music folders on to an mp3 cd?

I have 6 music albums that I would like to burn on to a CD as MP3 files, is it possible to burn the 6 albums in 6 folders and not just all the songs. I would like to have the songs from each albums in their seperate folders and not 60 songs from 1-60.

I'm sorry but, in iTunes 11.3 if you burn a disc as an "MP3 CD" it will burn ll the tracks in the playlist in the sequential order they are in the playlist with no MP3 going into separate folders with only the song name and playlist order number as file name. To burn a CD with separate folders for different artists and albums select the disc format as "Data CD or DVD". I have had this problem multiple times and I wanted to share this info since, after I read this thread looking for the answer, I just mistakenly burnt another CD with only the songs without them being in separate folders by artist and album.
Cheers,
Timm

Will iDVD 6 burn a dual layer with 3rd party burners

G'day from Oz.
I've posted similar to this under the iDVD 5 forum, as this forum wasn't started, but no answer yet. Hopefully people browsing here have updated to iLife 6.
Quote from .... http://www.apple.com/ilife/idvd/
"Go for the burn.
Once you finish your DVD masterpiece, only one step remains. Burning it. Thanks to stellar compatibility, iDVD 6 makes the big burn a painless process.
With support for a wide variety of DVD media formats — including DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, and DVD+R DL — iDVD 6 teams up with a compatible SuperDrive or third-party DVD burner to offer you more media options than ever. You heard right: iDVD lets you burn using compatible third-party DVD burners.
iDVD even lets you archive projects as disc images. Saved this way, your projects are extremely portable and take up less space, and are read-only. What’s more, they’re already encoded, so you can quickly burn them to DVD whenever you have a free moment or a burner handy".
end Quote.
** Note the 'DVD+R DL'. **
Does this mean that burning a dual layer project with dual layer 3rd party burners will be supported?
I've updated to 10.4.4, but my Sony dual layer burner still shows as 'Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)', in 'About this Mac'. The 'unsupported' means 'no dual layer burning' as far as I know. Also, I believe dual burning is only supported from within the OS itself? True or not?
Let's see who's first to try the new iDVD 6 out with a 3rd party burner & dual layer disk. If it works, it means iDVD 6 really does support third party burners.
Please post results.

G'day.
Further to my post a week ago re this subject, from the iDVD 6 help pages.
Quote
Newer SuperDrive optical drives in Macintosh computers can burn discs in DVD+R DL (Double Layer) format. Double-layer discs store almost twice as much content as single-layer discs, making them a great choice for large projects.
To see if your computer's SuperDrive can burn DVD+R DL discs, choose Project > Project Info. If you see 8.0 GB (Double Layer) in the DVD Type pop-up menu, you can use these discs for your project.
To burn a project to a DVD+R DL disc:
Choose Project > Project Info and choose 8.0 GB (Double Layer) from the DVD Type pop-up menu.
Select the encoder setting you want to use. If you have more than 120 minutes of content, select Best Quality.
Click OK.
Click the Burn button (shown above).
Insert the disc when you see the prompt.
If your project is small enough to fit on a single-layer disc and you insert a double-layer disc, you see a dialog giving you the option to change the media type. You can cancel the burn and start again, or insert a new disc and continue.
You should always burn double-layer discs directly from iDVD and not from a disc image. Double-layer discs burned from a disc image may cause playback issues in some DVD players, such as freezing during playback.
End quote
The last sentence is interesting, as the commonly suggested method of burning Dual layer discs is by first creating a disc image, then burning with Toast or Disk Utility.
Also, my Sony shows up as supporting 8 Gig in iDVD 6, but still shows as 'unsupported' in System Profiler.
