Making music DVD?

Hi there. I wonder if it's possible to burn a DVD with music files that can be played on a standard DVD player (NOT a backup)? I was hoping to take advantage of the large capacity of DVD to make discs of my music for my car.
Thanks!

No way to do this? I have an Alpine DVD player in my car and I only want to use the large capacity of a DVD disc to hold more music. No way?

    Export the slideshow out of iMovie via the File  ➙  Share ➙ File menu option as a 480p Quicktime movie.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Making a DVD from Keynote

    This should be a simple process, but I can't find out how to do it. (I get it to work after hours of trial and error, usually, but this time I'm stuck)
    I make a Keynote show - beautiful photos, text, etc - but without the music since I've been told the best way to add the sound is to make a movie first and THEN use that to make the DVD.
    I exported the Keynote presentation to Quicktime (iMovie wouldn't take the actual Keytime presentation), and then moved that to iMovie. But it won't let me move the clip below to actually make a movie and add sound.
    And I tried moving the Quicktime presentation (of course no sound in this version, but the original has sound) directly to iDVD. It appears on the Media/Movie page but I can't figure where to go from there. Nothing happens.
    Sigh. Any help would be appreciate.

    This actually is an addendum to my own email since somehow half the message got dropped. Sorry.
    Basically I've created a Keynote presentation (lovely photos, text, etc) with the intent of making a DVD to share with my mother who is bedridden.
    (In the "olden days" I would just make a slide show in iPhoto, add sound, and burn. But I love whaat Keynote can do, it's just figuring out how to get THAT presentation to a DVD I can play in a regular DVD player.
    I didn't include sound on the version I exported to Quicktime since I was told that the best way to make the DVD was to make a Movie first so I could better adjust the sound. So I exported the soundless one to Quicktime and then moved that to iMovie, but couldn't get it to let me move the clip below.
    I also tried moving the Quicktime version directly to iDVD. It is there on the Media/Movie page, but I can't get anything to happen after that. (I could easily use the version of my Keynote presentation with sound, if it would let me,, but I understand there is a problem with that too....)
    Again, any suggestions would be helpful.

  • Music DVD .. 10 Hours of Audio? Slideshow??

    Roxio Toast has a Music DVD option that can add hours of audio on a single DVD.
    I tried to look for info on how to do this in Encore .. but there is nothing.
    As a slideshow, my test only had three audio files .. which took up 1/4 of the disk.
    What is the smallest audio file to import into Encore? I used a mp3. I saw a transcoding menu pop-up that converted the m.mp3 to ac3
    Can I save space and steps to do this?
    Anybody make a Music DVD before?

    Music DVD - how I have come to loathe that description, along with the equally ghastly "Audio DVD".
    Both usually mean DVD-Video containing music, and should definitely not get confused with DVD-Audio although well authored DVD-A discs will also play on video only players.

    Frequently - Encore is somewhat limited in this respect because the DVD specifications were not really set up with audio playback as the primary stream type so it's always a bit of a fudge getting things right as changing any video or graphic asset forces the audio to change right along with it.
    I suspect that the Roxio app you mention is cheating by what it is not telling you - reading it carefully I see no mention of any visuals or imagery being used, so I think it is simply taking one timeline of audio and matching it up to a blank video stream, and allowing you to add markers as chapter marks.
    The result would be many hours of audio to blank screens....
    Launch Encore.
    At the splash, choose "New Project" and set according to TV Standard - PAL if in Europe, NTSC just about everywhere else.
    Set "Default Transcode Settings" to suit - automatic transcoding to a maximum of 6 mbps (just to be safe) and the audio form to Dolby Digital.
    To get this done the best way is to get all your audio imported into a project first. I would not use MP3 if I could use anything else as it is a form that is already heavily data reduced, and is also not a DVD legal format so must be changed into one that is. Encore will do this automatically to either LPCM or Dolby Digital (depending on your project transcode settings) by decoding the MP3 back to 32-bit floating point PCM and from there into Dolby Digital (ac3) at 192 kbps which is about the same as the average mp3 file. Downside here is that a heavily reduced file just got even more heavily reduced so quality loss is a very high possibility as despite the claims of Roxio, Dolby Digital is not particularly high quality. But I digress.
    Now, you can have up to 99 titles in any DVD, each one with up to 99 chapters.
    So, put any imported asset to a new timeline, and add chapter markers as needed.
    Do not add any video or graphical assets as this will trigger video encoding which will greatly reduce the available space.
    You will need eiother a basic menu, or else you will have to link everything together in the flowchart, making sure you set a FIRST PLAY and to link the end action of one timeline to the start of the next or you will get a coaster. It might be a good plan to get a +RW disc and practise this a few times.
    Now - adding any still images is difficult. If the audio is segued, you cannot do a slideshow - even with Scenarist! All you can do if the audio is segued (a live performance, or a continuous piece) is either not have chapter points or have one "slideshow" per piece. You can only do this in a standard timeline set to blank (not black) video.
    Compile and test - you will have a disc full of straight audio.

  • Best workflow config for music DVD

    Hey.
    I am about to produce a live music DVD with 5.1 surround and wanted to get some opinions on the best workflow for the project to yeild the best end result for amazing audio.
    I was going to start in Logic Pro and finish the final mixdown, then finalize between FCP and Soundtrack....then pull it all into DVD SP. I can keep all the tracks separate if that is a useful strategy. Also, the live audio will be 38 separate channels and then pared down for the final mix. The video and editing I am not worried about.....but making sure the final audio mix in mindblowing is still a huge concern to me. Any suggestions?

    I'd go with Bias Deck.
    Good luck,

  • Is this PowerBook Good enough for making music?

    Is this powerbook : PowerBook G4 17Inch
    17-inch TFT widescreen display with 1680x1050 resolution
    1.67GHz PowerPC G4 processor
    2GB memory (DDR2)
    120GB 5400rpm hard drive
    Slot-load 8x SuperDrive (DVD+R DL/DVDRW/CD-RW)
    ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 graphics card with 128MB DDR memory
    The Latest or the last model of Powerbooks
    Is it good enough for making music or editing few video clips?
    Will Snow Leopard run on it?
    Can i upgrade more ram in it ?

    Yes, that Powerbook can be used to make music or edit video clips. When it was new, it was required at the North Carolina School of the Arts for their Film program, using Final Cut software. Having a more powerful Intel CPU would speed up the rendering and processing times, however, the 1.67Ghz Powerbook can certainly handle video editing.
    I know people that have used Garageband on it to make music.
    The last operating system you can run on it is OS X 10.5 Leopard, with the last release being 10.5.8.
    It's RAM is maxed out at 2GB. 
    As long as you don't need newer software that requires an Intel processor and aren't going to rely on that as your system to access streaming video's on the internet, it should work for you.

  • Music DVD

    Can I download music from a music DVD,  to iTunes (on a PC), then on to my iPoc classic? If so, how? Thanks

    on toast you can create music DVD's, but not the type that you are thinking about. it will creat .mp3 or .wav files that will playback on compatible players.
    on DVD Studio Pro you cannot create the same type of music DVD's. also, you cannot creat Audio DVD's.
    hope that helps

  • Music dvd in Toast and iTunes 9.2.1

    I am trying to create a music dvd in Toast 10, but it always crashes right at the very end when it is supposed to write the dvd or the image file. Looking at the recovery file in Toast, the last completed file is the dvd folder, though that is probably not completed.
    Someone on the Toast 10 Pro forums suggested that burning a music dvd from Toast 10 Pro was messed up with iTunes latest update. At first I was trying to burn 26 playlists (26 cd's in other words), and Toast would crash. Then I combined playlists simply by dragging the separate tracks into a single folder. That's where I am now. But Toast still will not burn the dvd or finish the disk image. Any help or pointers greatly appreciated.
    Mac Pro ver 1.1, 13 gig ram, 4 X 2tb hd's, OSX 10.6.4, Toast 10 Pro 10.0.7

    Found out how. Lots of work with manual entry of track names. But it works.

  • Music DVD vs. DVD-A vs. SACD

    Hello all ~
    Back once again with hopefully a tough question that someone can answer.
    I found that there are at least three types (formats) of DVDs that have music only and they are "Music DVD", "DVD-Audio" (or "DVD-A"), and "SACD". I discovered that Toast Titanium 8 can create Music DVD's (which are really just like standard DVD's, but they have only music, according to the Toast documentation), but NOT DVD-A's or SACD's.
    Well, this doesn't say if I can PLAY DVD-A's or SACD's, and doing searches here, it doesn't appear that the topic has come up. I do know that people have to buy "special" DVD players to play DVD-A and SACD disks.
    But I'm at a loss here, can my MacBook Pro 2.33 GHz play DVD-A's or SACD's? If not, can newer models play them? If not, why???
    Thanks much all!
    Chaz

    No, your MacBook Pro cannot play the DVD-A or SACD format. Neither can the new models because Apple has not yet decided to license or support the technology into any of their Macs. Nobody can know why Apple will not include newer formats, such as Blue Ray, so speculation is a moot point.

  • Can you download a music DVD to iTunes

    I was just wondering can you download a music DVD to iTunes?

    (1) If you're talking about commercial, copyright-protected DVDs, you should be aware that it is illegal in many counties, possibly including yours.
    (2) If you're talking about commercial, copy-protected DVDs, you should be aware that providing advice on breaking copy protection schemes is illegal in the US, where this forum is based; posting such advice would break the forum's ToU, and hosting such advice would make Apple liable to prosecution.
    (3) If you're talking about DVDs which are not copy protected and whose copyright holder gave you the licence to copy them, then you may use Disk Utility. Once copied, you can play the content using DVD Player.
    For common DVD, i think hanbrake can meet your needs.
