ISO file burn to DVD problem!

I have recently obtained a 3.8GB .avi file and would like to burn it to DVD so my home DVD player can play it.
I have run it through VisualHub and converted it to a .iso file.
How to I go about burning it.
I have Roxio Toast Titanium. OSX 10.4.11. DVD Burner.
Tried it once but my DVD player couldn't read it!
Thanks!

"Should I and why please?"
Yes.
Because that's how I made a video disk (VCD) in Toast 7 a few days ago. Toast converted my video files into an ISO file, which I burned to a CD using the procedure in my first reply.
It should be worth a try.

How to burn a .iso file to a DVD

i want to burn a windows 7 home premium.iso file to a DVD but i have only an imac at home and no windows computer , what software should i use to burn an .iso file to a DVD in an imac?

I would use Burn from app store
it's free

Can't see .iso file on a DVD Burned using a windows pc.

A friend burned me a dvd using windows. When I open it on my mac I can't see anything. When I use VMware and windoze 98 I see a .iso file. Is there any way I can make my Tiger see this file. I can copy the file from VMware to my desktop and watch the movie via dvd player but I am low on drive space and don't want to leave this image on there as it is 4.33GB. I would love to be able to just pop in the dvd. watch it then eject it. Any help would be great.

Sorry, this is not a "Vista in a nutshell" or "Windows for beginners" forum, it's about "Windows compatibility (of Mac hardware and/or with Mac OS X)". Please seek out for help on Windows forums or ask a friend with more knowledge of Windows Vista.

Problem with iPhoto files burned to DVD

I just installed my iLife '06. I want to back up my digital photos on DVD's. I've tried both DVD-R and DVD+R to burn to. They burn through completion stating when finished, that the DVD was burned successfully. When I re-insert back into the CD player, no disk image appears, and the CD player doesn't engage whatsoever. After 30seconds. it's ejected.
My intention is strictly to back up the photo and related data files. I'ld like to actually eventually delete them altogether from iPhoto, to free up some space...once I know I've got it all on a disk.
It plays commercially purchased DVD's just fine, as well as Burned CD's.
My profiler shows I have a Pioneer DVD-RW DVD-1060
DVD-Write -R, -RW +R, +RW.
How do I determine what is really wrong, and correct it?
(I originally posted this in a different forum and it was suggested that this forum would be more appropriate for my question. Sorry for the redundancy)

As of yet, no.
I just attempted to burn a DVD using a DVD-R. I selected a goup of photos from iPhoto and drug them to a burnfolder on my desktop. I selected: file>burndisk.
After the "burn" was completed, the DVD disk image with the burnfolder title was still on the desktop. I ejected it and then re-loaded it. Again, there was no response from the CD drive (no sound or movement), no disk image appeared on the desktop, and no disk image appeared on the Disk Utilities window which I had kept open to monitor it. After 30 seconds the disk drawer opened on its own.
Considering how inexpensive a new and upgraded optical drive is, maybe I should just replace it, though I would still like to discover what the cause this current problem is, regardless.

Burn to DVD - Problem

I want to back up my iPhoto library to DVD using the finder. I followed the instructions: exported to a folder, inserted a DVD-R, dragged the folder onto the DVD disk icon, burned the disk by selecting File > burn disk. When I double-clicked on the disk to check if it burned, it seemed OK, and the photos opend with Preview.
BUT when I ejected the disk, then reinserted it, it spun for a while and automatically ejected. This has happened several times with several disks. What am I doing wrong?
I have not experienced this problem with CD's, just with DVD's
Stan

Stan:
Try running a DVD/CD player cleaning disk in your optical drive. That has helped others with a similar problem.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Files burned to DVD on Windows XP not visible on my iMac

Of eight zip and PDF files burned to a DVD+R on Windows XP using Nero, only about half are visible when I put the DVD in my iMac.
The DVD is 4.7 GB. There is plenty of leftover space.
When I take the DVD back to my pc at work, all of the 8 files are still there.
Thanks for any help.
best,
Mac

Is there anything in common with the files that aren't visible?
No. Some zip and some PDF.
I don't think that Mac OS X is able to understand Nero files without help. There seems to be a version of Nero for Mac OS X that might help. I also found a mention that Toast can convert Nero files to .dmg format.
I never had trouble before, so I do not think that nero is the issue.

Good evening, Pascal
"Multiplexing errors" can happen for many reasons. In addition to the fundamentals above, consider these ideas from another of the iDVD experts in this forum:

Playing QuickTime file burned to DVD Slow

Hello,
I have burned a 3gig quicktime file to DVD. When I play it from the DVD, it is stuttering,stops plays, stops. It is basically useless when played from the DVD play. This is on my iMac. When played from directly on my iMac it is fine.
How do i resolve this?
thanks

Hi, Xotol. The problem is not that the drive won't burn comments to DVDs; it's that you need to use a format for the DVDs that preserves all the Mac file metadata, including those comments. I'm not conversant with all the different DVD formats (I've only ever burned plain data DVDs), but someone who is (or the Toast manual) should be able to tell you whether there's a format you can select that preserves all Mac file metadata. A key factor probably is whether the discs you burn will be usedc only on Macs, or whether they need to be Windoze-compatible and/or play on standard DVD player devices. If either of the latter is true, the Comments field may just not be the right place to put your copyright notice. There's no place in a PC's file system for Mac metadata, and I have no idea whether a standard DVD player can read Mac Comments at all.

FCP Video files burn to DVD, Only gets audio when played

Hi,
I know this has been asked many times, but, it's late at night and I'm looking for a quick answer please.
I burnt ideo clips,which I have exported thru FCP, and burn them straight onto a DVD thru the Finder.
The person who got the DVD said he only gets audio from the clips, so, he can't see them.
Have many ideas of what I should do, but, what is the most common solution to this problem?

#48 - Cannot view DVCPRO HD or HDV or ProRes on my computer.
Shane's Stock Answer #48 - Cannot view DVCPRO HD, HDV or ProRes QT files on your computer.
The DVCPRO HD, HDV and ProRes codecs only comes with FCP. If your computer does not have FCP installed, it cannot view these quicktime files. It doesn't matter if it is a Mac or PC, without FCP installed, you cannot view these files.
If you need to view ProRes material, you can download the ProRes decoder (mac and windows compatible) for ProRes
http://support.apple.com/downloads/AppleProRes_QuickTime_Decoder_1_0_forWindows.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/AppleProRes_QuickTime_Decoder_1_0_forMac
If your footage was captured as DVCRO HD you can buy the Calibrated DVCPRO HD decoder:
http://www.calibratedsoftware.com/QDVCProHD.asp
HDV, XDCAM? Calibrated has you covered too:
http://www.calibratedsoftware.com/QXD.asp
If you have MXF files from a P2 camera and you need to view the footage on a computer without FCP, you can download P2CMS from Panasonic:
http://www.panasonic.com/business/provideo/p2-hd/downloads-and-updates.asp
Or you need the other party to compress the footage into a format your computer can play, like H.264.

How to import .MOD Files burned to DVD?

After a recent trip, a friend transferred my videos from his Panasonic hard disk camcorder to DVDs in .MOD format. When I try to open these .MOD files, I am told "The movie could not be opened - The file is not a movie file".
Does anyone know or have any tips as to how I can get these files on to my Mac and:
a. View them in Quicktime?
b. Import them into iMovie for editing/movie-making?
My apologies, I do not have much experience in this area. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Chapter allocation is out of sync after burning to DVD or ISO

Hi,
I have a menu with links to chapter points. When I run the menu preview everything works fine. But after I export the project to an .iso file (or to DVD) and play the DVD, a mysterious extra chapter point was created during the export and the last chapter was removed. This puts all the buttons out of sync.
I suspect it may have something to do with the fact that I'm burning a dual layer DVD as I've never encountered this problem before with single layer DVD's... but this is just a hunch.
A couple of facts:
* The problem persists on both DVD players I tested it on.
* This phantom chapter is added to the main timeline somewhere close to 1/3 of the way. The timeline is 2hrs 10 mins long.
* The final size of the ISO is 7.8 GB. When I remove the transcodes and compile a smaller version (viz. 4.7 GB) (still dual layer) the problem disappears and the buttons are in sync, but of course the quality of the picture is not satisfactory.
* I'm at my wits' end.
Please help.
D

With a DL title and a single timeline a chapter point at the start of the second layer is unavoidable. If Encore can't find an existing chapter marker in the window it has to put in the layer break, it is forced to create a new one.
As for the overrides: While there is nothing wrong with the override option by itself, it is quite easy to lose track of what is going on in your project when using overrides. A safer and easier option would be to create a
playlist.

Removing ownership & permissions for all files burned to a DVD?

Hello,
I am new to the concept of "ownership & permissions". Do they apply to files burned to DVD or just the files on the computer? I would like to burn some files onto a DVD for backup and I do not want to copy the "ownership & permissions" settings of the files - I just need to backup the files only. I would like to back the files up for a year or two and I am concerned that in the future I may not remember my usernames or passwords to access these files from the burned DVD.
Do "ownership & permissions" apply to files burned onto a DVD? Or does the DVD burning process erase the "ownership & permissions" settings? I tried to burn a DVD from OSX by creating a burn folder and I didn't see any setting that allowed me to remove the "ownership & permissions" settings.
Thank you for any insite into this.

Thanks Mulder,
Here is what I am trying to do:
I do not need to backup any system files - I already have OSX on my original DVD if I needed to re-install. I only need to backup the users' document files and maybe some email folders in the users' libraries.
I set up three accounts:
1. The first account is for admin purposes only.
2. The second is for my own use - it is the account used most often on this computer.
3. The third account is for my family.
Note: I will set up a fourth account for our student renter later.
I will have access to the user names and passwords of all these accounts in case I need to go into the accounts to back up their documents. But the user(s) of the family account will not have my password - so the kids don't accidently erase any of my files.
When working in the second account (which is used most often by myself), I sometimes need to place newly created files into the "document" folder on our family account (the third account). And so I purposely changed the "Ownership & Permissions" on the "document" folder on our family account (the third account) to Group: second account. This allows me (the second account) to place files into the "Document" folder of the third account (the family account). After doing this, I also need to change the "Ownership & Permissions" of any added files to Group: third account so the user(s) of the family account can edit (read and write) the files I add from the second account.
An alternative setup that I decided not to use: I could have made use of the "users/shared" folder for this, however, I do not want everyone to be able to access these files - especially when I set up a fourth account (or even more accounts) in the future. I only would like to share the contents of the third account's "Document" folder between two users (user of the second account and the user of the third account).
Now I will continue the explanation of my setup:
Over time the "Document" folder of the third account (the family account) will become filled with a mixture of files with different Ownerships - some created from the second account and some created from the third account - but all editable from either the second account or the third account by assigning each other access via the "Group" designation in "Ownership & Permission". Because of this mix of files with different ownerships, I could, if I wanted to keep the settings consistent, select the "Document" folder of the third account (the family account) and change the ownership of all enclosed items to the user of the third account by using the "Apply to enclosed items". I would probably also change the "Group" designation to the second account too.
I will be able to make all these changes because I have the user names and passwords for all the accounts.
Now here is my main question:
My concern is that when it comes time to backup the document folders onto DVD, what if in a couple years I forget these passwords? You see, I would rather not copy any "Ownership & Permissions" settings of the files onto the DVD. Lets say that in a couple of years I go back to my DVD backup and need to pull off some old jpeg files and put them onto my computer. When I insert the old backup DVD will it say: "Sorry, you do not have access priviledges to view these files" or something like that? That would be a real problem. These are my own files. Why would I want to risk making an important backup DVD un-useable in the future because of some long-and-forgotten permission settings?
What I would like to do is copy all my files onto DVD for backup in such a way that "Ownership & Permissions" are not copied. Why put the risk of a limitation on your important backups? Is there a better way to do this? What do other people do?
Am I making this more complicated than it has to be? As you can tell, I am a beginner with OSX (and permissions) and I am looking for some advice. Thanks
Mulder, when you wrote:
"If you're trying to backup just selected files, such as your purchased music or applications, etc., then ownership and permissions shouldn't be a problem."
did you mean that ownership and permissions are not copied? That would be great. But I am not sure if that is what you meant to write. Thanks!

How do I burn a DVD?

I want to make a video DVD from a movie file I have. How do I go about doing that? I looked for Toast software but could not find it. I have MacBook Air 10.56. I am used to burning dvds with Roxio Toast 6 Lite on my Powerbook G4. I have a superdrive with the MacBook Air. I have no idea how to do it with the MBA. Do I need to download any software? The movie file is .avi. On the Powerbook G4, I have to convert the avi file to mov file using ffmpegx. Do I have to do the same with MBA and Leopard?

Drop the movie file onto the iDVD icon (if it's not in the Dock, it should be in the Applications folder). Change any of the settings you want, then either click the "Burn" icon (looks like a little iris next to the play icon), or select File >> Burn to DVD...
Note: this will only work with movies in a format that QuickTime can play. If QuickTime can't play it, you need to convert it to a format that QuickTime can play first (how you'd do that depends on the format of the video in the first place).
Also Note: you can start from iMovie as well. This would permit you to modify the movie before burning to disk, add chapter markers, etc. Drag the movie onto the iMovie icon.

Error When Burning ISO File via Disk Utility to DVD
