Music vid to dvd

Anyone know how to convert a mpeg (or any other) music video to a form suitable to use imovie or idvd to burn onto a dvd so when I have aparty I can play it on my TV and surround sound via my DVD player? right now it only imports the video trac but not the sound track, and a lot of the music videos are shorter than the original songs on the albums due to editing when they made the video... so mixing is not an option in imovie. Obviously i have imovie idvd and quicktime pro 7. please help.

If the video is in meg-1 then this freeware will export both the sound and video to DV stream, which is the needed format for iMovie and iDVD. If it is a mpeg-2 file you would need to purchase the Apple mpeg2playbackcomponent to do the conversion with streamclip. It will also read some other file formats but for some you may need to also purchase QT Pro ($30) from the Apple Store: Mpeg StreamClip

  • I have a MacBook Air w/ 64 GB. I have hours and hours of music/vids/etc. Is it possible to have an external drive specifically set-up for my iTunes? If so, what do I need to do? Thanks!

    Yes, many people do just that. Copy your iTunes folder to the external drive. Once done, open iTunes with Option held down and select the new location of the library file.

  • How do you add background music to a DVD chapter menu in iDVD?

    I just need to add background music to a DVD menu-the main menu
    thanks

    Just to cover the bases, did you check the audio slider bar to the lower right of the iDVD menu screen to make sure that the sound is turned up, or check the menu slider bar for audio in the Menu pane?
    Is your song in aiff format? 
    Sometimespermissions and preferences can get corrupted. Whenever iDVD starts acting funny, a common maintenance procedure is to do the following: Delete preferences by closing iDVD and trashing the file com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User (the House icon)/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair usingthe Utilities/Disk Utility App on your Mac. Open the Disk Utilities window and select the Mac hard drive icon at the top of the side pane at the left. Then click on the Repair Permissions button. When you have repaired permissions and deleted preferences, restart your computer and launch iDVD. iDVD will replace the .plist file that you deleted. Be sure also that you have sufficient free disk space on your hard drive for iDVD to function correctly. 25GB often is recommended by users of this forum. After doing all of the above, relaunch iDVD and see whether you still have the problem.

  • How move music & vid to my other computer?

    scenario: at MacWorld Expo i bought an iPod video; using my 15" AlPB i bought several tv shows from the ITMS and enjoyed watching them on the flight home. Now I want to consolidate that newly purchased video and a couple songs i bought on the PB, on my "main" computer, my desktop.
    When I hooked the iPod vid up to the PB it downloaded onto the iPod the vids and about 400 songs that were on that computer; i've got about 1600 songs (mostly but not entirely duplicates of the 400) on the desktop 'puter. When I hooked the iPod up at home those 1600 songs replaced what WAS on the iPod.
    How do i "merge" the two computers' songs and vids (there's a music vid already on the desktop computer, too) so that everything is on the desktop computer, and for ease of use, it's all in the same place on the PB, too?
    thanks
    terry

    ok, i consolidated each library on its respective
    computer. I then used target mode to mount the
    powerbook on the desktop of the G5. I copied the
    iTunes Music folder from the G5 to the powerbook.
    That was incorrect. You should have:
    1) Copied the files you want to add to any arbitrary folder on the destination machine.
    2) file->addfolder_tolibrary, choosing the arbitrary folder.
    3) Consolidate library, which will copy all files from your arbitrary folder to the default iTunes library folder.
    4) Delete the arbitrary folder, since the files are now copied to the default iTunes library folder.
    That's it. There's no way I know of to also merge all your ratings etc. if the new songs came from another pc... unless you hack and merge the 'iTunes Music Library.xml' file by hand.

  • Importing music from data DVD

    In an effort to transfer music from my old PC to my new iMac, I burnt 2GB of music onto a DVD. Whenever I insert this DVD into the iMac (the 24" model), I'm told I've inserted a blank CD... is there a setting I am supposed to change somewhere?

    Some things to check:
    On the PC, make sure you "finalized" the disk and did did not leave it appendable. Eg. if you're using Roxio Creater Plus you actually have to tell the program to finalize the disk in a separate step after burning.
    Verify that the DVD is readable by a PC, it is possible that it did not burn correctly.
    Can your iMac read other DVDs?
    Hope this helps.

  • Using purchased music in photo dvd.

    Hello,
    I have some music marked "*protected AAC*" and some marked "*Purchased AA..*" and I am not sure what this means.
    However, I did find that I could only use "Purchased AA...." if I wanted to export the music to a dvd of photographs.
    NOW, I don't seem to be able find the ability to purchase the right to use the music elsewhere. Can someone please tell me what I need to do to once more purchase this right????
    I think it might have something to do with DRM which I don't understand nor know whether I need it or not!?
    Thanks,
    David

    "protected AAC" and some marked "Purchased AAC." and I am not sure what this means.
    Protected means that the track has copy protection. Such tracks usually can be used in a DVD via iDVD if the version of iDVD you have is current, but problems often arise if the version of iDVD is older. If you continue to have problems, you might try asking in the iDVD forum.
    I don't seem to be able find the ability to purchase the right to use the music elsewhere.
    Tracks purchased from the iTunes Store, whether copy-protected or not, are for your personal use only. If this DVD you're trying to create would be for your own use, that would be OK, but you would not be allowed to give it to anyone else (the same applies even to tracks imported from CD without acquiring a license from the record company specifically for the purpose).
    Regards.

  • I can't hear the background music on my DVD

    I am trying to replace the pre-programmed music on my DVD with a song from my playlist. I follow the instructions on iDVD and drag the song to the menu. When I "Command click" on the menu I see my music selection in the "audio" menu, but when I click to play the intro there is no sound. What's happening?

    Try installing the latest IDT Audio driver from you support page:

    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.

  • Music Vids show as Movies on the Ipod

    My music vids are loading on my ipod as movies , so everytime a song is done i have to select the next manually , is there a way i can set these up as music videos in Itunes , or have a flow setting on my ipod ?

    Hello Ditler,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Is there *Media Type* set to *Music Video* in iTunes? You can check by right->clicking on a music video and choosing "Get Info". Then under the Options tab, there is a section with a drop down list to change the tracks *Media Type*.

  • C3-01: Where does music/vid media stored?

    Where does music/vid media files are stored when transferred from OVI suite? Does it automatically saved to the memory card or the hardware built memory. How do I save it directly to the memory card?

    The first step in the sync process is to create a backup.  On a mac this backup is located at
    ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup.  The backup does not included iTunes media as it is assumed to be in the iTunes library you are syncing with.  Also, as you have discovered, when you first sync with a new iTunes library iTunes will erase all iTunes media on the phone (music, videos, etc.) and replace it with the media in the library you are syncing with.  Photos from Camera Roll (which are taken by the phone) are part of the backup.  Photos in Photo Library (which were synced to your phone from your computer) are not; again, because it is assumed they are already on your computer as that is how they were synced to your phone in the first place.
    What, exactly, is still on your phone at this point?
