Multi-recordings on DVD

Can I make multiple recordings on a RW DVD on my iMac? If so, how can I do it?
Thanks for your help.

You can't write multiple sessions to a DVD on the Mac. You would have to erase the drive totally and write it from scratch.

  • Create single-volume multi-session cd/dvd

    I am a Mac OS X User.
    I am having trouble creating a single volume, multi-session CD/DVD from my MacBook Pro.
    Can anyone show me how to perform that task?
    John P.

    Hello again,
    I may have realized that it may be possible by burning two or more images onto an optical medium by using a similar command.  It's something like this example:
    hdiutil burn <image> | <image> | <image> ...and so forth.
    Can anyone help me on how to perform this properly, so that the terminal would not bring me any error messages?
    Thanks in advance for your responses.

  • Multi-language subtitled DVD

    Hi
    I am building a multi-language DVD which contains numerous dramas all subtitled into 8 different languages. The dvd has a language selection page linking to scripts for each language and then the first of two scene selection menus. This link gives a quick overview of the scripts I've currently used.
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/dvd_languagenattress.html
    The problem I have is that the order of the buttons for each language needs to be alphabetical which means that a link which is on menu 1 for the English subtitle is on Menu 2 for the German subtitles. I can programme the DVD to take the user back to Menu 1 German as a default but not to menu 2.
    My knowledge of scripting is quite simple but I have tried adding a script which resets the GPRM for the second menu when accessed from the first menu. I thought this would then set a differnt GPRM reference for the return to submenu script to read. However this failed to work in the simulator.
    Any help or useful advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Kind regards
    Dan Creed

    A suggestion: Submit a
    feature request
    for access to GPRMs. :) A GPRM (General PaRaMeter) is a variable which can be set and evaluated. In this case you could have used it to check from which menu the user came and return to that menu.
    Other than that the only solution I can think of is to create multiple versions of the chapter menus. If the menus aren't motion menus the extra DVD disc space required will be minimal, but it will be a lot of extra work.

  • Multi-plexing Error-DVD will not burn

    How do I get rid of errors? There are none that show up on the map view. This is a 6.0 theme, no music, one QT file with chapter markers. Thanks for any help you can give. I have tried about six times.

    Made a few minor changes, but major change was to go from Best Performance to Professional Quality.
    There's a bug with iDVD that causes problems when a movie is edited and then the probject is re-encoded and burned.  The best route to take is create a new project, add the edited movie and go from there.
    Also I suggest you follow this recommended workflow:
    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 and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was 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 because they have a higher concentration of dye in the burn layer than other brands.

  • Probook 4530s w/dvd RW Multi DLlightscribe - Burn dvds ??

    HI:
    I have the Probook 4530s with DVD RW SuperMulti DL LightScribe Drive. can I burn dvd's with the lightscribe. If not, can I use a free dvd burning software. Please suggest one compatibale with win7 64-bit home prrem . 

    No Lightscribe only burns an etched label for your disc, you also have to have disc that are lightscribe. You will need a burning software for DVD's. I recommend Nero however it is not free. But ImgBurn is. follow the link below.  http://download.cnet.com/ImgBurn/3000-2646_4-10847481.html If disc is copy protected you will not be able to burn it to your hard drive. Let me know if that is the case, I have a workaround.

  • How to export clips to be used for multi-angle video DVDs??

    I've read all the posts here that I can find but I'm still coming up empty. I have three clips, one a multiangle clip and then the two source clips that went into making it. All three have the same in and out points marked and the same duration and I've gone to compressor and qued all three up before submitting, with all the same video settings. But I still can't get all three to work. Only the two source videos go together. It keeps telling me that "The Video Asset 'X' is only usable up to XXXXXX" and asks me if I want to use it anyway. If I say no, then it tells me that there was an incompatible GOP structure. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? I am this close to literally banging my head against the table in my attempts to figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    When working with multi angle or mixed angle, the alternate sequences must have the exact same GOP structure each... this means that when the encoder converts them to MPEG that 'I' frames are in exactly the same position for all three pieces.
    Typically, a cut in your FCP timeline will force the encoder to place an 'I' frame, which then means that ALL the clips need to have the same cut. Additionally, ALL alternate sections need to be the same length (to the frame).
    There is much debate about the differences between VBR and CBR encoding. I have had nothing but trouble with VBR and multi-angle... so use CBR. Also, I am one of the first to say don't use DVDSP to act as your encoder, however for mixed or multi-angle work it seems to produce a more reliable result in terms of GOP structure (sigh... ).
    In short, use an encoder that doesn't employ scene detection , use CBR and make sure all sections are the right length.
    How did you encode this footage to begin with?

  • Problem chosing layer break point for multi-movie DL DVD

    HI. If you're authoring a DL DVD containing several short movies which can be selected from a menu in any order, how are you supposed to know which order they're burnt to disc in so as to know where the layer break point needs to be? Is media burnt in the order it's added to the project or what? Does it actually matter about choosing a LBP manually so long as DVDSP provides a choice of automatically determined points?

    You can use VTS view to see the order they are laid out in
    http://dvdstepbystep.com/vts.php
    As to manually selecting a layer break, you can if you want to, especially if you know a section is a fade to black (for instance) where it will be less noticeable.
    Some background -
    There has to be a break point where it crosses over from Layer 0 to Layer 1, if you have no Chapter Markers at all (or a limited number of Markers, none of which fall near the point which is a bit more than half the size of the assets you will get an error that a Layer is the wrong size.
    What you do is
    1.) Set up markers in the areas where your would guesstimate the Layer Break(s) should be
    2.) Build the project (but not format)
    3.) Format a Disc (in the dialog that comes up, click on advanced tab, then where it says break point, use the pulldown which will have all valid breakpoint markers dark/black, while non-valid Layer Break Markers will be faded) If no marker is black there is no marker in the right place, regardless of you use automatic or not.
    4.) If the layer break(s) are not where you would like them (in other words a place where they may be more noticable) use VTS view to re-order then go back to step 1.
    When you do enough DLs, you start getting a sense based on the size of tracks where things should land

  • Burning multi-session DVD+RW's

    Since the finder won't burn in multi-session with DVD+RW's and neither will Toast, what will?

    Lawrence,
    The only application I'm aware of that will burn Multisession onto PLUS Media is DragonBurn - Toast can't, neither DiskUtility.
    Minus media do not Miltisession at all.

  • DVD player crashes Mac

    Trying to play a DVD on my Mac causes it to freeze/crash. Dock is unresponsive can't cmd + Q or even force quit. I can move my cursor around the screen, but nothing is click-able. No spinning coloured wheel either. Have to hold power off and restart. First time my Mac has actually crashed...
    Happened three times
    1) started full screen crashed after a few seconds
    2) started in windowed mode crashed when i tried to resize said window.
    3) was playing fine for four minutes then froze as described above
    Why is this? The DVD is brand new, and clean of any scratches or dirt.
    Thanks for any help
    btw, my specs are;
    Silver Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard
    2.4ghz
    4GB RAM
    I'm not sure of the graphics card, but it's good, Can run all applications fine.

    I'm also having the exact same problem. For me the time to freeze varies and it's only after I start playing the DVD. Navigating through the DVD menus seems to work OK, I only have trouble when playing content.
    It typically freezes within about 5 or 10 seconds but can go a little longer. The sound continues for a few seconds after the video has stopped, but after that I have to hold the power button to force a restart.
    It doesn't matter if I'm using DVD Player or Front Row. I have noticed that the screen briefly (VERY briefly) flickers once every few seconds when it's frozen. This seems to be independent of whether the player is in fullscreen or windowed mode.
    I've found that it only affects me on a couple of music DVDs as well; I think this is because these ones are multi-region. DVDs encoded for a single region seem to play just fine (as long as they match the drive's region setting, of course!).
    I have definitely played one of these music DVDs before but I don't remember when so it may or may not have been before I upgraded to Snow Leopard. I see that the 10.6.1 update included a fix for DVD playback... maybe that fix broke something else?

  • How do I burn a CD or DVD that can be opened on a Windows PC?

    How do I burn a CD or DVD that can be opened on a Windows PC?
    Here's what we tried - and none of this worked when we tried the CD and DVD at our local library on their Dell, Compaq and IBM PCs.
    1. We have 11 documents composed in Word (2004) in .rtf format with many, many photos embedded. The documents are in a folder.
    We first created a disk image of the folder using Disk Utility: File> Create image from folder. Once we had the .dmg which was about 1.16 GB we burned this onto a DVD choosing no compression and no encryption. This DVD worked fine on the MBP but it wasn't even recognized by any of the PCs at the library.
    2A. We tried to compress the folder to burn it onto a CD. In DU, by choosing compression with no encryption we reduced it to about 530MB. For some unknown reason when we tried to burn this onto a CD using DU, we got the message that the CD didn't have enough space. It is a 700MB CD so that made no sense - does anyone know why this would occur?
    2B. So, we went to the Finder to use its burn option. We were able to put the 530MB compressed folder which we created in DU onto a CD using the Finder. Again, this worked fine on the Mac. At the library this CD was recognized by the PCs, but Word couldn't open it. Once we got a message that it was too large to be opened (bigger than 32MB!) - the librarian did not recognize this as a default that they might have set. Mostly, we got the message that Windows could not open the document.
    What should we have done? What should we do to achieve this? I know there must be a way.

    dongle with the file(s) on there as backup to the one you put on a DVD or CD media.
    Thanks for the extra info, K.
    This sounds like a good idea, but the CD is a gift for a friend in India and presenting him with a flash drive just won't be the same. (Although I suppose we could take the drive with us and burn something there - but that's too risky if it fails on the ground and besides, what we'd have on the drive would be Mac created, unless you have an idea on how to get around that - DU DVD/CD master? convert?)
    {Little space is gained by putting a .dmg file inside a .zip file; I've checked with some
    of mine and often it isn't really a deal maker to add a step in this process.}
    The original folder as a dmg was 1.16GB too big for a CD. As a compressed file done in DU it was about 530MB and as a zip it is 450 or thereabouts. The files are on the MBP and I am on the G4 now and it is not turned on.
    The fairly easy to use application the link takes you to, has almost no learning curve.
    It will not compress an item, but you can easily; to include putting items in folders and
    then use Create Archive to make them one package...
    The Burn 2.3 utility makes Mac+PC compatible disc recordings, in DVD and CD media.
    The simple interface is why it is handy. Otherwise, one could probably get by with the
    other methods which are native to the Mac; through other steps...
    I'm not sure what I am gaining at this point in time by doing this - if you both think archive (zip) and burn from finder will work.
    This does sound like something we can definitely use in the future, thanks.

  • Panasonic DVD Recorders

    I'm looking into options for creating video for my PSP. I have 2 main options, a TV Tuner for the Mac, or buy a "home" DVD recorder and convert those files. I would want the Panasonic machine that writes to DVD-RAM, DVD-R and DVD-RW. I know DVD-RAM is not an option on the Mac, but does anyone know if I would be able to do anything with the recordings on DVD-R or DVD-RW on the Mac and convert them to MP4?
    Cheers
    Matt

    I use VR mode DVD-R discs from my Pioneer standalone recorder. You need Toast 7 to be able to extract the video from those discs. Otherwise you can only extract video from finalized video-mode DVDs recorded on the Panasonic.
    As for DVD-RAM, Toast 7 reports that the Matshita UJ-846 Superdrive in my iMac (iSight) will read DVD-RAM and Toast 7 will extract MPEGs from DVD-RAM media. I don't know for sure because I have nothing that writes to DVD-RAM media.
    Another application that will extract the video from those discs is Pixe VRF Browser. However, Toast 7 works better and is a far better value.

  • Replacing DVD/CD Drive (Question)

  • Transferring old videos to DVD with Satellite M70

    Is it feasible to connect a video recorder to a Satellite M70 in order to transfer video tape recordings to DVD? If it is, what cable do I need?

    Hi there,
    since your notebook is only equipped with an TV-OUT, you cannot just connect a video recorder to your machine, because to do this you will need an Video-IN.
    The only chance you have is to purchase a external video grabber for PCMCIA or USB.
    With such Video Grabber youre able to receive external video signals and to record/edit them.
    Heres a link which shows you an example what I mean:
