Itunes 7 have a dvd burning feature?

does itunes 7 have a dvd burning feature to burn tv shows to dvd? Who do i email to request this feature if itunes 7 doesn't have it?
thanks

It does not have it because the movie studios and television producers do not want it (not because Apple can't/won't put it in there).

Does iTunes 7 "Include CD Text" Burn Feature Work?

The CD player in my car will display the disc title and song name if it is encoded with CD Text information. It works well with Toast. I noticed that iTunes 7 has a Burn preference "Include CD Text" checkbox, but when I select it and burn a CD the info does not appear in the car.
Does anyone know what's up with this?

I burnt a CD yesterday with iTunes 7 and the CD Text feature turned on. I tried the CD in my car, a 2005 Nissan Aramda, but nothing displayed. I know the CD player supports CD text so I wondered if iTunes didn't burn the CD correctly. I started trying the CD in all my CD and DVD players. On my Sony DVD player, the disc did display the disc title but not the track titles. However, I'm not sure that it would since it's a DVD player. That at least told me that iTunes wrote something on the disc. Then I read that if you insert the CD you burned back into your Mac and launch Toast, select Disc Information under the Recorder menu, you can see a listing of all the burned tracks and the CD text that was written on the disc. Sure enough, iTunes 7 had burned the disc title, track name and artist for each of the tracks.
Given that iTunes appears to burn CD Text correctly, the mystery is why my car doesn't recognise it. I'm also wondering about the two standards for CD text and if maybe the one iTunes supports isn't the same as the one my car supports. I'm hoping that maybe someone else can shed some light on that.
Thanks,
Eric

ITunes should have a "Play Next" feature

Hey all,
I'm not sure about anyone else, but when I am playing music on iTunes, I would love to have a "play next" feature. For instance, if you're listening to one song and you know what song you would like to play next, you can simply just select that song and choose for it to be "played next." I get annoyed by making playlists and it just clogs my side bar on iTunes whenever I decide to do so.
Anyone know how I can contact Apple to let them know they need this feature on their next update?

Hi, I totally agree with PJM1. The party shuffle will do the trick for one subsequent song, but not if you want to say build a cue of 4 or 5 then sit back and listen. Sending a second song to the party shuffle replaces the first one sent there. There should be some sort of temporary cue you can build with a simple click. And it would be even better if iPods had the same feature, where some button combo told it to play whatever song as soon as the current one is finished. I find it really annoying, especially when driving, to navigate to a song, then have to wait for the first one to end, then navigate back to select the next one while some song I don't wants starts up.
There was once some sort plug in that supposedly did it, but when I tried it it didn't work. I think it was for like iTunes 4 and didn't work even with iTunes 6.

Burning onto a DVD when I have no DVD burner on my Laptop

Do not have a DVD on my Mac Laptop so from final x pro I chose Burn DVD and selected a removable hard drive where a img file was created. I then burned the img file onto a DVD on my IMAC. However, it does not play in a DVD player, how do I resolve this?

You need iDVD.
Purchase iLife 11 (or iLife 09) (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

ITunes Folder Size and DVD Burn

Not sure whether this is the right category. I'll put it in "iTunes", too.
Got Sony DVDs. 4.7GB.
When I click on the iTunes folder and "Get Info", it's shows 4.6GB in it.
Try to drag and drop it in order to burn it onto a DVD for backup and get a message saying it's too large a file for the disk. I should delete some tunes.
Check the amount of GB available on the disk in Disk Utility. Says "0". Tried three of them with the same result. Not sure what this means.
Also: when I put the disks into the drive, the icon that shows up as a folder with a burn symbol on it. Not a disk symbol.
I'm really not sure what this stuff means. I could start deleting songs/albums from iTunes...but not sure whether that's the problem.
The file should be able to fit onto the DVD. (?)
Thanks for your time.

When you burn a DVD or a CD a directory has to be created on it so that the computer will know what is on the media. This takes a certain amount of the available space. I don't know how much of the space it takes as it depends upon the size of the directory. With the total of your library being so close to the rated capacity of the disk there probably isn't enough room for a directory to be created.
You will need to reduce the size of your library in order to do the burn.

I am putting three iphoto slideshows into idvd. the music included came from itunes, but when my dvd burns, the music all sounds scratchy.... Help1

The project with the 3 iphoto slideshows and 2 video clips look fine in idvd before I burn them. then the music all sounds scratchy. I have done numerous videos in idvd before, but never had this audio problem. What is going on....?

Backup is asking for a dvd - why when don't have dvd burner?

When trying to use the backup feature of version 8 I'm getting the message, "There is a file whose size is bigger than that of a blank CD. You need to insert a blank DVD." I don't have a dvd burner and can't find a file bigger than a cd.

i'm not sure about the whole not having a file bigger than a cd, but the main reason that it's asking for a DVD is that DVDs have a larger capacity than CDs. iTunes is trying to help you save money by using fewer discs by burning your backup of the iTunes library to a DVD instead of a regular CD.
unfortunately, i don't know of any way for u to burn a backup if it won't let you use a CD...sorry...

DVD burner no longer burns...

Hello,
Did a little research and followed some solutions but to no avail...
I have Roxio installed and has co-existed w/ Encore without problems up until just recently... I don't know what has changed as I don't shange the system much...
For some reason or another, Encore doesn't burn to the DVDs. When I place a blank DVD-R in the burner, I used to get an XP OS dialog box asking what I want to do with the media... This no longer occurs and as long as this happens, Encore will not burn a disk...
I have uninstalled Roxio's Drag-To-Disk feature, edited a couple of registry entries but still have no DVD burning capabilites. I can still burn CDs though...
Any direction is greatly appreciated...
Thank you for your time,
Jim

Jim.
Go into "My Computer", and right click the burner.
Under "Recording" turn OFF all XP recording to that drive.
What you are disabling is the XP version of Poxio (oops, freudian slip there) that installs a packet writing utility.
This is most likely conflicting with your installed version of Poxio.
In all honesty, you will be much better off getting rid of poxio completely - but the uninstaller doesn't work!
If you mail me off-forum, I will send you the Poxio Zapper that will remove all it's little tendrils & finickity bits that interfere.
When it starts doing this, you really will be far better off without it altogether. It doesn't like co-existing with other burn apps at all, it gets resentful and this causes major grief.
Sorry to bear bad tidings, but it is better to draw a line underneath it & get a better suite.
GEAR Video is superb
Nero is supposed to be good now as well.
Both have trial versions, and GEAR gets my vote as it carries it's own drivers that do not use generic Windows ones, or Adaptec, or Poxio, - it has it's own ASPI layer.

DVD burning trouble

Hi, Whenever I try to burn a Data DVD using Itunes, it checks the playlist, and then tells me that the playlist is too large for one Data DVD. Itunes is showing that the playlist is 4.53 GB, and the DVD is good for 4.7 GB. I've tried using a Sony DVD and a Verbatim DVD. I would prefer to avoid burning small amounts on to DVD's when I know what is happening. What am I doing wrong that Itunes is preventing me from burning the songs onto a DVD. The songs are recorded in 128 bite, and are in MP3 format. Thanks fro your help.
P.S. I have a DVD burner built into the Ibook
Oh, and as a side note, if I try to drag more then about 20 songs into a folder on my desktop, Itunes won't let me. This was another way I tried to burn a DVD, but realized it wasn't time smart when messing with around 1200 songs. Once Again, Thanks for the Help

Although your DVD says 4.7 GB, you can't fit more than 4.3 to 4.4 GB of data on it.
There are two reasons for that.
Manufacturers of storage devices advertise with GBs, where they state 1 GB = 1000 MB.
Your computer uses: 1 GB = 1024 MB, which is correct.
So a DVD can hold 4.7/1.024 = 4.59 GB at maximum!
Not only data is stored, but also an index of all the files on that DVD.
That also has to be substracted from the total capacity.
Effectively, you should not try to store more than 4.3 GB on a DVD.
Your second problem could be due to the following:
If a file(name) that you're trying to drag into the desktop folder already exists, iTunes won't let you copy it.
If you try to do that in the Finder, you will get a warning (of course)
iTunes doesn't give a warning, just does nothing.
Hope this helps.

No dvd burn drive

Hello, I bought a season of a television show off of itunes, and I want to back it up, but my computer doesn't have a dvd burner. The show is taking up way to much space on my hard drive. My friend has a dvd burner on his computer, and I was wondering if there was any way I could transfer all of my files to his computer, back them up on dvd, but still be able to watch them on my computer.

Well you can back it up to an external harddrive or if the file size is below 700MB burn it to a data CD.

DVD Burn problem. "Device error - the target device isn't suitable for use"

Hello everyone,
I initially had a lot of problems with PE8. However the nVidia driver update solved most of them.
Just thought it was important to report success as well as failure!
However one problem remains. I get the following error at the 96% mark while burning. "Device error - the target device isn't suitable for use". It is always at the 96% mark and the program is "compiling [something]" when this happens.
Having searched this site I notice that user rgferg posted a similar problem 13 days ago but was redirected to repost in a different place, but never did.
I have tried to burn a 1hr clip 4 times and every time I have selected the slower burn speed (8MB/s) as has been suggested. It seems that inferior media is a culprit, so I have bought some [quality] Verbatim DVD-R media to try in my Phillips SATA optical drive. I am sceptical this will work, but open minded nonetheless. I will give it a whirl when my computer has stopped capturing the VHS I am working on.
Each time the burn failed the disk was automatically ejected and the burn process had actually started and progressed perhaps ~40% or so.
This indicates to me that it is a drive sharing issue, rather than a media issue. Somewhere on this forum it suggests that I go through a 20+ step process and delete/disable every piece of software that can compete with Premiere among other things. IF I do this what do I burn with outside of Adobe? Do I have to get imgburn or whatever it was called? What if I like Nero? Nero 6 has worked great for me for 3 years.
So given I am willing to uninstall my old optical drive burning software, who out there can recommened commercial software that for them creates a painless Adobe burning experience with no errors or conflicts? Perhaps there is another solution that I did not see on this forum?
I am running Windows XP SP3. I have the latest nVidia drivers for my SLI GeForce 7600 GS cards. I have 3 monitors. RAID 0 SATA, 2GB RAM, Athlon X2 5400.
Justin.

OK been working through the list of 20 things Adobe recommends to fix DVD burn error. No luck yet:
system meets minimum requirements
Project size does not exceed disk capacity
successfully burned project to DVD folder -thus skip to step 8.
8. Using new blank media for burning
9. Try different media and DVD burners. Bought Verbatim DVD-R. Don't have another DVD burner. Adobe's supported burner list is VERY short, so of course mine is not on it.
10. Uninstalled Nero 6. Did NOT uninstall Acronis True Image workstation or Lightscribe. These do not access the drive unless I say so!
11. Have not yet disabled startup items and services. This will take a lot of work and will leave to last. Deactivated Spybot thus far.....
12. Disabled IMAPI CD burning COM
13. DMA if available already set. Haven't set this in BIOS yet. I already think it is, but will check next boot.
14. Updated DVD firmware
15. Already updated nVidia drivers
16. Don't have any other DVD drives to disconnect.
17. MPEG workaround. Will resort to if required.
18. Disable Autoplay? XP only has "prompt me each time to choose an action". I have set this for ALL file types.
19. Have NOT refreshed the DVD drivers in the registry. This step involves uninstalling PE8. Will leave this as last resort.
20. Visit forums to see if other have the same problem. Hi guys
So still working through some of the items above.
Can anyone direct me to advice on how to write the encoded files sent to the hard drive, or the VOB files that PE8 failed to burn to a disk? Will the former work with DVD menus?
What a process.
Stay tuned.
Justin.

IDVD/Macbook/external DVD Burner

Hi All,
There are several threads already relating to this subject. I have read them, but am having a little trouble fathoming a straight answer to my query.
I have a Macbook - 2GHz Intel Core Duo - 1GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM with Leopard operating system and iLife 08.
I don't have a DVD burner as part of the laptop and want to use an exteranal burner in conjunction with iDVD. Is this possible?
Some threads are of the opinion that you can't use an external drive with iDVD, some say there are ways round it. Please could someone say which is true?
If it is possible to do so, i'm guessing from other threads on here that Lacie is the way forward. I'm not in a position to build an external DVD writer - I can't even build LEGO!
All help is appreciated
Kind Regards

I know in that past that iDVD would only work with an Apple supplied "superdrive", but I am pretty sure that's not the case anymore. Even if it is, you can create a disk image with iDVD and then use the Disk Utility to burn it to another drive> Which, by the way, is a better way of creating DVDs.
As far as burners go, I believe there are 3 main suppliers: Pioneer, Sony, & Samsung. LaCie doesn't actually make the drive, they just put it in their case- which would be the same thing most any other vendor would do. As example:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MRBFWU2D115/
Pioneer drive, in their case. I don't mind LaCie optical drives (I don't like their hard drives) but you can generally find an external burner for less and as long as you know the drive component, you should be OK.

DVD Studio Pro and Firewire DVD burner

Hi All,
I'm using DVD Studio Pro 3.0.2 and trying to burn a project on a firewire dual layer dvd+-r burner. I stick in a blank dvd-r and hit the burn button and it keeps telling me to insert acceptible dvd media. This drive does work, as I have used Toast to burn stuff on it. I do have a dvd burner in my powerbook, however it's an old burner and won't burn to the new 16x dvd-r's, so I don't have any discs for it. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
J Silverman

Did you author a DVD and now you are trying to burn it by using "build/format"?
If so, make sure you use a new disc because if you have tried to reuse this disc, it could have written a bit of information during the lead in, making the disc useless.
If it is a new disc, then just select Build/Format and when you are prompted to insert the disc, put it in.
Does your burner show up in the Output Device tab when you choose Build/Format?
