My DVD will play DVD's but will not burn from FCP

my DVD will play DVD's but will not burn from FCP also the Finder does not recognize when I load a black DVD

You need DVD burning/Authoring software.
EIther iDVD or Roxio Toast or try freeware burning software Burn for OS X.
iDVD is no longer available, but the last complete version that still works comes with Apple's iLife '09 apps.
You would need to search for this on online sites like Amazon to see if you can still purchase.
You install the iDVD app and all the authoring themes by doing a custom install of the disc and ONLY installing the iDVD app and iDVD themes.
Here are a few copies of this for sale on Amazon U.S. site.

Roxio Toast is another option.

  • ITunes music will play on iTunes but will not play in my iPod

    I downloaded music from iTunes. It plays on my computer and shows up on my iPod. However, it will not play. When I attempt to play the iPod says "now playing" skipping all 25 tracks. The music is in the purchased, artist, music, etc. folders.
    Any thoughts?

  • After using video capture device to copy VHS to DVD, burnt DVD will play on computer but not

    After using video capture device to copy VHS to DVD, burnt DVD will play on computer but not on DVD player. Tech support for the VCD said my HP DVD burning software has to burn "DVD Video and not DVD data" and to check with HP. How can i check myself.

    Grahamster, welcome to the forum.
    I recommend trying CDBurnerXP for burning video CD's.  I have been using it for years without a glitch.  I use it mainly for burning ISO's, but have used it for all types.  Please let us know if it works or not.

  • DVD Player plays DVDs but will not play VIDEO_TS files from my hard drive

    When logged into my home account DVD Player plays DVDs but will not play VIDEO_TS files that are on my hard drive. I get an error message: "there was a problem opening the media. Media type is not supported." When logged in as "root" DVD player does play these same files. Also, when logged in to my home account, I can play these same files in VLC.

    Go this this thread for more details:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1075814
    But the gist of the fix is to delete or rename "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist" and let the DVD Player build a new one. It seems that this is caused by a migrated PPC preference that borks DVD Player 5 on Intel Macs, which is what just happened to me. Hope this helps.

  • IMac will play DVDs but not CDs

    My 2009 iMac will play DVDs but not CDs (bought music CDs and burnt CDs). The last time I tried (successfully) was December 2013. Can anyone help?

    Start a new topic and don't hijack this one.  You're problem is different from the OPs. When you start the new topic give your system version, iMac year and model and what type of CDs you can't read, i.e. commercial or those you created yourself.  Also if you can read DVDs.

  • How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play in quicktime but not iTunes

    How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play with quicktime but not iTunes so I can't sync them

    Th AVPlayerHD works well for playing other video types.  You can transfer the videos via USB in the app tab in iTunes on your computer.  When you open that tab when you have you iPad connected to the computer scroll down and you will see apps listed on the left and a blank on the right.  Click on the app and then click on the add button under the blank window on the right.  Then navigate to the video you want to play and it will transfer it to the iPad.  I have about 14 movies on mine using AVPlayerHD.  works very well.  Also have VLC player (before it was yanked from the app store).  Works about the same.
    You can also get the app Air Video and stream the video to from your computer to the iPad, and even have Theo ad connected to the tv to watch on there.  I do that all the time with my iPhone.  Saves time with not having to sync movies all the time.

    If you haven't tried re syncing the apps using iTunes..
    Connect the iPad to your computer. Select it under Devices left side of the iTunes window. Select Apps from the menu, make sure the boxes next to those apps are selected then click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.

  • Some videos not playing in Quicktime but WILL play on VLC Player

    Hello,
    All of a sudden, some of my video files will not play on Quicktime. OT reads the length of the movie but when I click play, all I get is a black screen and no sound even though the progress bar rolls per usual. When I open the videos in my VLC Player, the play just fine. This is not with all of my movies. Some movies play fine in Quicktime. Also, if this helps, Final Cut X will not recognize these movie files for import. Am using Quicktime 10.1.
    Thoughts? Help? Anyone?
    Thanks,
    John

    The .dv videos that will NOT play:
    I suspect you may have a number of problems here. The first is having elementary DV and PCM audio streams in a DV stream file container. (I.e. DV/DV audio and video stream data is normally stored in the DV file container while DV/PCM data is normally wrapped in the MOV file container.) The second problem is the fact that the DV video seems to be missing the aspect ratio "aware" information. As you can see from the playing file, the format line should read either
    720 x 480 (640 x 480)
    or
    720 x 480 (853 x 480)
    Based on this, I am wondering how old this file may be and/or how it was captured. (I.e., the playback problem may be due to file container not being compatible with the QT X player which, in fact, relies on an embedded aspect ratio parameter rather than the QT 7 embedded "Current Size" setting and is not expecting PCM audio to be contained in a DV stream file container.
    These videos are older (almost 10 years old) and they were edited in iMovie HD.
    In addition, there is a question (at least for me) as to whether the DV video streams are embedded sequentially or as alternative video tracks. (I.e., if you have QT 7 Pro installed, please post a copy of the "Properties" window.
    Installed QT 7 and videos play fine. No issues. I don't have QT7 Pro.
    Not sure if this will work, but if I had a copy of the non-playing file, the first thing I would try would be to open the file in MPEG Streamclip and re-save the data to a "real" MOV file container to see if it would then be playback compatible with the QT X player app.
    Tried Streamclip and it will save as MOV but the size changes (from 640x480 to 720x480 and I get a stretched look. OT X will play it however. Tried to "export" using differrent formats but with mixed results. Sometimes I got sound but no video. I will continue to fiddle with settings but it doesn't seem like a reliable path to go down.
    Could I be missing the codec component? Is there a way to check?
    Not very likely if any files play have the same video compression format. Had the non-playing files been encoded with one of the HD DV codecs, then yes, that might have been a possibility whould could have been checked.
    Would your answer be the same now that we know QT7 plays the videos without any issues?
    Exported out to a .dv file. Format exact same as the working one above. Plays fine.
    Of course. You exported the audio and video as a DV compressed data in DV stream file container. Thus, both the file format and compression format are now QT X compatible.
    The container is a .dv. I did rename it to .mov at one point to see if that helped but got the same result.
    Of course. Changing the file extension is like calling a cup of coffee a glass of coffee—i.e., the coffee is still in a cup. Basically, this only works if the data in the container is already compatible with the file container and the container is compatible with the player. For instance, H.264/AAC compressed data will play in either QT 7 or QT X players whether it is in an MOV, MP4, or M4V file container. On the other hand, "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 data won't play in the QT X v10.2 player with a VOB file extension but will play if you change the extension to TS or MPG. On the other hand, the VOB or MPG file (with the QT MPEG-2 playback codec component installed) will play in both QT 7 (without audio) and MPEG Streamclip while the TS file won't open in the QT 7 player but plays fine with audio in MPEG Streamclip.
    I THINK I understand! : )
    I do have a DropBox folder.
    If you also have an online DropBox account, then yes, that would be a good method for posting large files. You then only have to post or email the URL to the people you want to have access to the data.
    True. One of the issues is that I want to re-edit some of these files which means I need to get them into FCP. I know there is a workaround, i.e. importing them into iMovie like I did and then spitting them out again so they will play but I feel like I am losing quality that way. Aren't I? This was before I started saving projects so I could always go back into them. Plus, I really want to preserve the original files for backup sake.
    Jon, thanks again for taking your time with me. Really apprecite it.

  • This an IPOD I bought used.  Everything else works fine.  It syncs to my computer and plays my music but will not connect to the USB interface in my car. My wife's IPOD, which seems to be identical, works fine.  Any ideas?

    This an IPOD I bought used.  Everything else works fine.  It syncs to my computer and plays my music but will not connect to the USB interface in my car. My wife's IPOD, which seems to be identical, works fine. I should say it connects but then immediately disconnects.  Any ideas?

    Then my last suggestion is to Reset it, while connected to the BMW Audio.
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.

    Hi Goofy Goat,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you have done some great troubleshooting for your iPod nano that is not responding. In this situation, if resetting it did not resolve, I would suggest restoring the iPod back to its factory settings and then sync your content back onto it from iTunes. Please use the following article as a resource for restoring.

    Have 60 gig ipod classic will power up will go to songs but will not play any songs just sits there on 0 I can fast foreword but it still will not do a thing just sits at new spot in song and will not play , help please.

    Update!
    This is what I did to fix both the skipping songs problem and the iPod verifying forever & not able to restore problem (because of iTunes 9):
    a) I used Disk Utility to reformat my iPod while in Disk Mode using the instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363?viewlocale=en_US
    and here:
    http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/ipodsupport/erase/index.shtml#backup
    b) Do not unplug your iPod after reformatting (mine showed up as a firewire disk) - simply launch iTunes ( I went back to 8.2) and follow the Restore instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339
    iPod is recognized, syncs and doesn't skip songs anymore after that miserable experience with iTunes 9!!!
