ITunes Videos/Shows to DVD

Does anyone know if you can burn your iTunes shows/videos to DVD?

You can burn the purchased videos and TV shows to a data DVD (change your settings in the Preferences->Advanced->Burning).
You can't burn them to a DVD to be played on a TV.
Hope that helps,
Sara.

  • ITunes Video Compared to DVD on MBP?

    I want Scrubs season 5 on DVD. But season 4 comes out in October so who knows when season 5 will be out. It's available on iTunes but I am concerned about the quality. If I download the season, will it compare to DVD quality on my MBP? I found this website which definately makes me think it will be fine: http://homepage.mac.com/lesposen/blogwavestudio/LH20040822004609/LHA200510160027 25/#
    How does the quality of an iTunes TV show download compare to DVD quality? And can I then burn my downloaded shows onto DVD?

    Jayhacker,
    The iTunes videos are TV quality, not DVD quality. They will look great, although small, on your computer screen, and would look like broadcast TV played from a video iPod to TV, but they just don't have the bit-rate that a DVD would provide.
    Still, I have never been disappointed with the quality on my computer, and I might even say that I prefer viewing shows on it to watching them on TV. Of course, catching a show on TV is free
    Anything that you purchase from the iTunes Music Store is protected. This means that you can't transcode them, even using Quicktime Pro. You can drag them out of iTunes to a blank DVD to make copies for backup purposes, but you can't convert them to MPEG-2 (the DVD standard). In other words, burning a video DVD is out.
    As far as I know, the only options for viewing the videos on a TV set is either via a video iPod, or by connecting your computer to your TV.

  • ITunes video showing up as a grey checkerboard

    I'm trying to watch an episode of Hannibal over livestream with some of my friends. When I start playing it, I can watch it just fine - but it shows up on the livestream as a grey and white checkerboard pattern, like the transparency on photo editing programs. The audio still goes through, though?
    The same thing happened when I tried to take a screen cap of the show - it plays in my iTunes window just fine, but the screen cap comes up blank as if the video isn't even there.

    Yes that did work.  My ipad was full but now it works.  Thank you!

  • ITunes TV Shows to DVD for TV?

    Is there anyway to burn my purchased iTunes DVD tv shows to a DVD to be viewed on my TV, through its DVD player? It doesnt seem right of the company to limit me to watching the program which I purchased from them to just on my computer. I downloaded the season of my favorite TV show, because I thought I could put them on a DVD to be viewed on my personal DVD player on my TV in my living room. Not only does it have a comfortable area to sit with the family, and a larger screen, it has a better sound system. This is not right to limit us to just our computer or iPod. No where did I see a disclaimer stating that I could not put the files onto a DVD to be viewed on my personal DVD player. So Apple/iTunes, please let me know how - or refund me?

    I have to agree with TodayBledFate. When i first came to itunes, there wasn't much of a TV selection, if any at all. I was there for the music. I am a big TV watcher and when I saw the shows they were adding, i decided to download some of the kid programs. I did not think to go back and read the rules and terms i had agreed to long before this. I just figured i could burn the TV shows to watch with my daughter, and yes it is hard to get comfortable at a desk in front of a computer monitor. When you go to download a TV show, something should pop up and warn you that you cannot copy them to DVD. I am a little disappointed with the service. The shows take up a lot of space on my harddrive, and my computer runs slightly slower. Since I can't burn them and free up some space, I now have to delete them and waste my money.

  • Can I burn a purchased Itunes video onto a DVD?

    Does anyone know if I can burn a purchased video in ITunes to a DVD? I bought CNN Planet in Peril.

    Not onto a video DVD. A data DVD will work, but these will only play in iTunes and are subject to authorization.

  • Playing iTunes videos to a personal DVD player

    I'd like to play iTunes videos on my DVD player. I copied them on to a USB, then tried to play them on the DVD player. But they show up as "MPEG4" files and a red circle with a line through it appears. Guess that means it's a No Go. Any suggestions? Advice? Help? Thanks.

    Well, I wondered...I tried playing the videos off the USB while it was plugged into my computer, and the video file in iTunes opened. Does that make sense to you? Yes, they do play on my iPod, but I hear you telling me I am NOT going to be able to play them on the DVD player. I also tried burning them onto a DVD disc, but that didn't work either.

  • Saving tv shows to dvd?

    If I buy a tv series like Ugly Betty which is not yet out on DVD in uk, can I transfer it to DVD? If so does anyone know the file size of average episode so I know if room on mac/to back up to dvd?
    Thanks

    Hi Angus,
    I've checked this out for you, I bought the series of Ugly Betty (each episode averages out at 500 mb )
    Bizarrely, iTunes won't let you burn the episodes to disk - you get a message that this kind of file is not supported, or something like that. You can, however, make a burn folder in the finder and do it that way.
    Strange that iTunes won't let you backup your purchases to disk when the finder will.
    I just found this on the Apple support page -
    (+How do I burn my purchased videos to CD or DVD?+
    +You can burn back up copies of iTunes videos to a data CD or DVD. However, you cannot burn iTunes videos to a DVD for playback on your home entertainment DVD player.)+

  • Hrd Drive Full- Archive iTunes Videos to DVD?

    My daughter has filled up her laptop's hard drive. The big culprits are movies and TV shows purchased from iTunes. Is there a way that these files can be taken off her hard drive and archived to a DVD? She's not watching the files now and is OK if they come off her iPod, but doesn't want to erase something she paid for in case she might want them at some later date.
    Is this possible? If so can someone point me to directions on how to archive these to DVD and how to restore to the hard drive at a later date?
    Thanks!

    Hi L Powow- thanks for responding to my question. That's not quite what I had in mind. I don't want to back up the entire library, I only want to back up select iTunes video purchases for archival purposes.
    I would like to remove the iTunes video purchases from the iTunes library on the computer's hard drive, because they take up too much space and they are not being currently used on the iPod.
    I want to know how I can back-up only purchased videos to DVD, so that if I remove them from the library on the PC's hard drive and if, at a future date, there is a requirement to load the videos back onto to the iTunes library, I will be able to restore the videos from a DVD to the iTunes library on the PC hard drive.
    Any suggestions on a backup and restore procedure to do this? Thanks.

  • Burning itunes videos to DVD

    First off - new to mac, new to forum, primarily use itunes for music. Having said all of that...is it possible to download a video from itunes (or a TV show) and burn a DVD? I was looking into it and can't seem to find any info. Tried it w/itunes and can't get it to "Burn disc". Help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I'm assuming you want to burn a purchased video to a DVD disc that is watchable in your DVD player. The short answer to this question is, no, it cannot be done.
    The DRM that protects the video files you buy from iTMS do not allow this type of burning. You can, however, burn the files to Data disc for backup.

  • ITunes Videos (Both Movies and TV Shows) are skipping/ studdering.

    iTunes Videos (Both Movies and TV Shows) are skipping/ studdering.
    These videos were taken from my hard drive, converted with Format Factory, then placed in itunes.
    ON ipad the videos playback perfectly, but in itunes itself it fails drastically.
    Same problem happens with quicktime. If i open these videos up with quicktime, it studders and skips, while if i open it with VLC, it works fine.
    I have already disabled 3d acceleration, which helped a very small bit.
    The Rest of itunes runs smoothly, just video playback is screwed
    Specs:
    HP Envy 14
    Intel i5 quad core processor 2.53 ghz
    6 gb ddr3 ram
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Itunes 10.5.1
    Quicktime 7.7.1

    Update
    It turns out that the reason for not playing TV shows and movies is not the network.
    Something happened with the files while copying them from the Macbook to the NAS station.
    I noticed that after copying a TV show from the NAS Station back onto the Macbook Air drive; it was not possible to import that file into iTunes. iTunes ignored importing that file.
    On the other side the TV shows will be played by Quicktime, either from the NAS station or from the Macbook.
    It might be important to mention that the NAS station is not OSX formatted.
    Does someone know what happened ?
    Regards

  • Mystery videos showing on iTunes?

    I just recently got an iPad and when I connect to my laptop on look at the content in iTunes it shows me three videos that I most certainly did not download and I have no idea where it came from. Any ideas on how I can delete it from the iPad/from iTunes? There are two videos I recognize from my old Windows Laptop (I have a Mac now) but the other three videos is of some TV show I don't watch and have never heard of before and is quite inappropriate. I have no idea how to delete it! Even though it just shows up when I plug my Ipad to my laptop and open it in Itunes i really really want to get rid of it. Help?
    Also does anyone know if whats on the Icloud fills up the "Other" section of Ipad Usage? I have a HUGE other section on my Ipad and like I said very new so I have no idea where its coming from

    What is "Other"
    1. Cache for apps, browser, mail, Messages, Reading List
    2. Saved games
    3.Documents and data
    4. Notes
    5. Voice Memos
    You can backup and restore to reduce "other" but they will start building up over time.

    You would need to have home sharing enabled on Apple TV and iTunes.
    Setting up Home Sharing for Apple TV (2nd generation and 3rd generation) - Apple Support
    They would be accessed by going to the Computers icon on Apple TV. . Your computer would need to be on and running iTunes.

    Also try:
    1. Resetting the SMC > Resetting the System Management Controller
    2. Resetting the PRAM > Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    Then perhaps while you have it off and disconnected from the power, give the output jack a quick shot of electronic cleaner, then run a jack plug in and out a few times and follow up with a short blast of dry air.

    After deleting a purchased video that, then re-downloading I now have the same exact video showing twice in iTunes & iPhone.  How do I get one to go away?

    Verify/repair your disk first (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there's enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
    1. Quit Mail if it's running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong -- e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down.
    3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
    4. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be "imported". Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it's "importing", but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
    BTW, you haven't answered which mailbox has the problem. I could be that just rebuilding that mailbox fixes it -- you should verify/repair the disk and make a backup copy of the Mail folder first, nevertheless, though.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.
