Movie flattened after sharing to DVD

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find it, if it has been.
After sharing to full quality DVD, I open my movie in Quicktime 6.5.2 and it looks flattened. Sort of squashed. Like it was being stretched out sideways.
I have one logo that is suppose to be round, but it ends up being more than oval shaped.
I selected DV format and NOT widescreen before making my movie. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

Also I've noticed that in Quicktime, everything in the movie looks really lousy. Like I have lost all my quality, by sharing to Qu
The Full Quality DV movie is probably fine, but the movie's High Quality playback setting is not turned on. You need QuickTime Pro to turn it on. When you play it in QuickTime Player, you don't see the quality that's there.
Likewise, a DV movie looks "squished". That's normal too.
Don't worry about these features; they don't affect the quality of the image on the DVD. Everything is just as it should be; DV just looks different than you expect.
Everyone says the same the first time they see a Full Quality DV movie. The name comes not because it has a "full quality" image. Rather, it's because this type of QuickTime movie preserves all the quality of the source material. And because the movie is very large, the High Quality playback was historically turned off so the movie would play smoothly on yesterday's Macs.
To include it on your DVD, just drag it into the iDVD window. Everything will be fine.

When using Final Cut Pro X (iMac mid 2011 model-version 10.1.3) to burn 1 hour movie onto DVD, it seems to render but when computer says 'Sharing to DVD successful' and yet DVD is blank, what's my next move? Burning hardware is working as I burned a project using iMovie afterwards. I filmed a funeral service and family get together afterwards but can't share it with family and friends...plz......suggestions/recommendations/condemnations........

Another update to my burning problem...in my movies folder there is an img file (states it is a classic disk image-2.82GB) after I have tried burning a DVD unsuccessfully and when I open the img file I see 1) AUDIO_TS AND 2) VIDEO_TS files. I 'control' clicked the file and tried burning this folder onto a disc. Result it seemed to burn both files onto DVD but still couldn't view video.

After creating a new slideshow I export it with the setting HD 1080p it is then saved as a .mov i then create a dvd in idvd and the quality is not as good as the original photo's when viewed on the monitor or a TV, am i doing something wrong?

DVD's are only 640 x 480 (interlaced), so yes, the quality is not nearly as good. You should probably create your .mov in DV format to best match the DVD format

Download movies from home sharing?

I ripped most of my DVDs so I can play them through Apple TV, etc. I share them via iTunes using home sharing. However, I want to be able to download movies from that shared library directly to my iPad and/or iPhone so I have them when I travel. I read you could just 'drag' them to a different (say, local) library, but I do not see how to do that. I'm viewing the content in the shared library and can't find any way of copying that content anywhere.

Thanks, but that is not my question. My question is whether I can transfer/download from home sharing.

Sharing to DVD all my projects stops att 66 % - without error messages.

Sharing to DVD all my projects stops att 66 % - without error messages.
I'm a beginner in Final Cut Pro X. Not good at ¨computer terms¨ and computers so please take it easy when explaining.
My first three project was succesfully . (I then had no background image.)The fourth project (about 59 minutes) was at first successfully even with a background image. (But when I played the DVD on my DVD-player it stopped completely after 45 minutes, but went on when I tried to play it again, from the place where it stopped.) Then I replaced the background image with another and after that it stopped at 66 %. I read about the error -29 and made my image ¨smaller¨ but nothing happened. I also made the project shorter, about 57 minutes, nothing happened.
I tried a couple of completely new project from 2 – 20 minutes long – the same happened, it stopped at 66 %. (Read about deleting render files and tried that too without results.) I have a Mac OS X 10.8.3 Mountain Lion
Grateful for help after a week with problems. It’s a dancing project and people are waiting for the DVD…

"What finally got it to work for me was Share>DVD>Settings>Backround; added a small jpeg, then removed. For whatever reason, it seemed to jar Create Disk awake."
Using this idea I didn't even add or delete an image, just opened the the Background window and closed it again.
This made one stubborn Project work/burn even with some retimed clips in it.
This action must flick an internal ON switch somewhere????
It's something simple but annoying. I have no idea where to look.
At least with a couple of extra clicks it's now working as expected.
Annamatilda might try the same to confirm the above??

Advice concerning sharing by DVD or other method

Friends,
I'd like some advice concerning saving/sharing my projects by DVD or other method. The short question is whether storing projects on DVD is the best way to store projects with high quality that, at the same time, are easy to transport and view.
I've got a fairly large number of projects, some created/edited in FCPX and others exported from FCE, imported into FCPX and edited. I often upload the projects to YouTube, but I'd like to save them on something easier to use and more dependable than YouTube. The projects are primarily home movies, three to fifteen minutes in length. I can use the share for DVD function in FCPX, but it's unclear to me if the quality is the best it can be (I don't know if there's compression or something else at play, but the files I've shared for DVD seem smaller than I would have expected). On the other hand, even at these smaller file sizes (150MB to 1GB), it won't take long to fill a DVD. I'm working on an imac i7, so BluRay, with its greater storage capacity, isn't an option unless I were to obtain an external BluRay drive.
Any other suggestions? I haven't actually burned my DVD projects to a DVD, so they might actually be the high quality that I want.
Thanks for any thoughts.
Steve

You don't have to convert them to DVD files.... you could just dump them as "data" files onto a DVD disc. e.g. as .mov files with their original quality.

Why does my final cut express movie flicker after i put on disk using idvd

Why does my final cut express movie flicker after burning to a dvd using idvd. Its about 90 minutes long.

Hi
As Alchroma writes - more info needed.
FCE/P to iDVD
Several things
• How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
• Free space on Start-up hard disk
• Encoding
• Brand and type of DVDs used
• Burn speed set
• iDVD BUG
• Chapters
How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
• Disable Screen and Energy saver
• IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
• Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
Free space on Start-up hard disk
I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
Encoding
• I use Pro Quality encoding
Brand and type of DVDs used
• I use Verbatim
• I use DVD-R
Burn speed set
• I set down this to x4 (or x1)
iDVD BUG
• One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
of them will work.
Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
Use of Chapters
• I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
• NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
• No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
(Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
them except at very beginning - still)
Material used to build movie
• video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this e.g. .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
• audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
• photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
from post ??
May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving

How do I view a movie I rented and downloaded to my computer on my apple TV. The ATV is not seeing the rented movie in my shared itunes library? I can't seem to transfer the rental to the ATV from the computer!

Dear friends,
Thank you for responding to my problem so promptly. Frankly, I did not expect to hear from people so soon! The fact is that as soon as I posted the question, I was shown a number of similar queries and managed to find the answer. I have to say it's not intuitive! I have an apple TV original version. Apparently I had the ATV on streaming and not syncing. Streaming does not allow you to stream a rental from your computer whereas you can sync and transfer the rental from the computer!
Thanks again.

HT5628 After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp "removed" the DVD drive!

After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp “removed” the DVD drive. I think there is an issue because I reinstalled Windows 8. If I don't install driver, then I have reduced functionality (no Apple keyboard, no sound etc), but once I install driver, I lose my DVD drive.

Hi, guys, I have had the exact same problem since the summer of 2010. Here's what I was able to find out.
Deleting upper/lower filters, running all those Fix Ya programs and other Microsoft crap is useless. This problem is most certainly has nothing to do with registry of any software on your computer. I took my HP 9620us to a couple of repair places and, they tried a lot of things and it appears that the root of this problem is a faulty motherboard connection. Of course, it costs about 400 bucks to fix it so I'm not sure I want to pay this kind of money.
Anyway, if somebody was able to fix it PLEASE post here to let us know. Again I am 99 per cent sure it's some piece of hardware in the motherboard.

If the Safe Area settings are OK then it's well a settings issue in either the DVD player or TV or both.

Can't move songs after installing the iTunes 10.5.3 upgrade

Jan. 23, 2012. On Friday, Jan. 20. I installed the iTunes upgrade from the previous version to 10.5.3 and now I can't move my songs in or out of my playlists. The only thing that has changed since the update installation from the previous latest version of iTunes is installation of the upgrade to 10.5.3. I can not add songs to my plyalists or take them out. I can not copy a song to the desktop like I previously could. Wha' happened? I've used the disk utility to repair permissions and I've got read and write permission within iTunes.

So far no one has responded and I've not been able to find anything via search. Last evening I managed to move files by dragging them either into a playlist or onto the desktop after I had used the disk utility to repair permissions. The first attempt produced no change. A bit later I decided to try again. That is when iTunes functioned properly. However, this morning when I tried to drag files, reorganize, etc. The same problem was back. I opened up the disk utility again to repair permissions thinking that might work since it worked yesterday. Well, same thing. No change after the utility was done. Back to square one.
Since I was able to move music after a second attempt yesterday, I'm going to try the disk utility to repair permissions again, but I have to close out of this and will have to start a new reply.
I've never had this problem with any of the previous iTunes versions or operating system updates/upgrades. My computer is a 5 year old MacBook that works fine and currently has Snow Leopard 10.6.8

After creating a DVD with music, the pictures all come out fuzzy and not sharp. I have tried all the options, and nothing works, they all come out fuzzy. I have wasted about a dozen DVD's

Have you tried enhancing and sharpening in Premiere Elements before burning to disk?
What steps are you doing exactly?

We have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong?

we have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong? it comes to the last loading page where it shows the desscription of the movie befor it acually plays.

It can come about without any change done by the user, and it's not just from other networks. The placement of the router can also affect performance. Also make sure router is up to date.
Apart from that would be the reboots.

HOW CAN I STREAM I TUNES PURCHASED MOVIES TO A GM FACTORY DVD SYSTEM WITH RCA IN

Having trouble finding away to stream i tunes purchased movies to a gm factory dvd system that has rca in only. I have the lightning cable to hdmi but can not find any reliable info on a way to convert to analog out (rca) I also own the apple tv2 but it only has hdmi connection only as well. I also have the wdtv live system but can not find a good solution for it as well. Anyone having the same issue, any info would be much help, thanks

Using apple tv or whatever means and why couldn't I,
The AppleTV and iPhone do not have composite video (which use RCA connectors) outputs.
I purchased the movies and should be able to use anywhere as long as i have internet or downloaded to my phone.
and you can.
You just can't send them over composite video from those devices for the same reason you cannot view broadcast television on your iPhone.
It is not capable of doing it.
I have found other forums that say you can.
Then I suggest you ask those other forum posters exactly how they did it...
