ITunes videos to DVD to Mac

I purchased videos (or TV show episodes) from iTunes on my work computer (which is a PC), and burned the files to a DVD and when I tried to import them to my Powerbook at home, the videos were blank... they showed the correct time of the clip but it was a black screen.

I have another question string that outdates this question.

  • 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.

  • Recording Itunes videos to DVD

    My husband and I just downloaded a TV show from Itunes in the hopes of copying it to DVD for our use. However, the burn command on Itunes is grey when I want to do this.
    How can we do this? Thanks for your support!

    Not getting what I'm saying one bit...
    Alright... scenario:
    Home Based DVD Recorder: No control, pop it in, copy.
    PC Based DVD Recorder: You have control over the lead in/lead out, data on the tracks, burn speed, etc.
    Now, just because the Mac can READ those media types, doesn't mean it was burned correctly for it to read it. Now, also keep in mind, that it may not be the media, but the drive using it, some drives have a hard time reading certain CDs... like my DVD Recorder in my computer, it doesn't like normal CDs at all, won't install from them hardly, DVDs, run fine, perfect. It even burns CD-R, CD-RW, etc. And it READS the ones it burns, it doesn't read any other burn for some reason, some drives are just PICKY.

  • Burning downloaded itunes videos to DVD - How do I do this?

    I have downloaded over $50 worth of video film clips so I could make my own dvd. I assume that paying $3.69 for them entitles you to burn them to dvd as we do songs to cd @ $1.30/song. I have tried burning to a dvd with no luck. How do I do this?

    Unfortunately that doesn't work. It's part of the deal between the iTMS and the right holders that prevents purchased videos from burning to DVD (except from burning to Data CD/DVD for backup).
    The Music Store Terms of Service state (chapter 9):
    "You shall be entitled to export, burn (if applicable) or copy Products solely for personal, noncommercial use. You shall not be entitled to burn Video Products."
    I must admit, I hardly read those 'fine print' articles, but it's all written down.
    Sorry for that.

  • Burning iTunes videos to DVD-R?

    Is this possible? I bought two seasons of a show without enough memory on my PC, so I want to transfer one of the seasons to DVD-R until I get an external hardrive. Any help or other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Did you purchase this from iTunes? If so, you can only burn the video to a disk for back up purposes. You can't burn it to one that can be read by a standard DVD player. If you have a 4 gig nano, you should be able to put the video on it. You may just have to move some other things off for a while.

  • How to transfer videos to dvd's

    Hello,
    I downloaded the free quick time for my grandsons ipod. Unfortunetly it turned all my home videos to quick time format. I can't get them to transfer to dvd now, so that we can play them on our dvd player. How can I fix this? any help is appreciated. I already removing quick time player. It didn't help. I hate to loose all my videos as I have no copies except on my computer.

    it is easy to solve only with the help of *DVD Creator* software. if you are not very sure about the operation, you can refer to the guide article "How to Convert QuickTime(.MOV) to DVD on Mac?"

  • Burning videos to DVDs

    Does anyone know what the playback quality of burning iTunes videos to dvds is like?
      Windows XP  

    Yeah. It’s zero quality because it is not possible.
    You can save them as a data file but not as a video to view on a DVD player.

  • 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.

  • Different DVD to iPod Video Converter Software for Mac?

    Does anybody know about different DVD to iPod Video Converter Software
    for Mac besides QuikTime Pro?
    Thanks,

    Handbrake is the way to go.
    Quicktime Pro does not have the ability to rip and convert DVDs.

    I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie.  Any suggestions to fix?

    Thanks for the reply.  I tried playing with detaching the audio in iMovie, but with 20+ hours of video to correct, it would take too long.  After 28 hours, Corel/Roxio tech support replied that it is a known bitrate mismatch problem and they have no real fix.  I strongly suggest not to buy this product.

  • 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.

  • 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.
