My MOV videos do not play when I burn a DVD using iPhoto.

My MOV movies do not play when I burn a DVD using iPhoto.  I can use the other method with my Mac to burn DVDs but the videos are not good quality like they are in my iPhoto albums.  How can I get better quality in the DVD videos if I am unable to burn a DVD using iPhoto?  I upgraded to the free Mavericks.

Hi
Most common origin to this are:
Brand of DVD used - NoName, Memorex etc cheap brands might work as Data-DVDs - BUT NOT as Video-DVDs
Type of DVD used - I only use SL-DVD-R as they also playback on older DVD-players. DVD+R for newer DVD-players. Never ever DVD+/-RW. Dual-Layers usually creates more problems than Single-Layers
BURN SPEED - Very IMPORTANT factor - I never go faster than x4 - Normally I use x2
Material used - Video Codec, Photo and Audio file formats
Video-Codec: StreamingDV, AIC and HDV (I use)
Photo: .jpg - NO .bmp or other - all converted to .jpg first
Audio: .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz (as on Audio-CDs) - NO .mp3, wma etc ailient formats - all converted to ..aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz first
Free Space: on Start-Up (Macintosh HD) Hard Disk - I never go less than 25Gb when doing Video-DVDs (for SD-Quality Video - if HD material is used 4-5 times more are a safe low level) (Other external Hard Disks - DO NOT COUNT as space here can not be addressed by Mac OS or iDVD for it’s massive use of .temp files)
Dusty DVD-burner Laser: I use a Cleaning DVD (no liquid but the one with brushes) from time to time.
Harmed DVD-burner Laser: Easy to do by burning more than three DVDs at a time - I let it rest for 30 minutes till next batch of three DVDs. If this happened - then only a costly repair will help. It will not heal by it self.
OBS: There are more than one Laser in the DVD-Burner so other functions might work OK as Playback CD/DVDs and even burn CDs. Still being broken.

  • Anyone had video just not play when on the timeline?

    Video is just not playing when pulled down to the timeline.  Seems to resolve itself for a bit after I reboot the program.

    Using optimized media should be fine to work with given those specs.
    Does the problem happen often? When you say it doesn't play, I'm not exactly sure what you mean. 
    One thing to check for is that the timeline scrollbar hasn't moved (vertically) so that the issue isn't just that you can't see it due to a scrolling issue. This has happened to me a few times -- especially when zooming in/out. I think it's a bug. But all you have to do is scroll up to get your clips back into view.

  • Why video does not play when embedded in a PDF when viewed in Windows 8?

    I have a situation where video must be embedded within the PDF document and it was working for us using older versions of IE and on 32 bit machines and using acrobat X. When the same file was tested on Windows 8 it looks good and behaves well except the embedded video does not play. The same video (.mp4) will play on the new OS if it is not embedded in the PDF.
    Is this because the PDF is looking for a 32 bit flash player? Am I doing something wrong and/or is there a fix for this situation?

    Are you watching the pdf file from Adobe Reader?
    Windows 8 by default has a diferent reader for pdf files that does not support rich media elements.

  • Videos will not play when Adobe Flash is installed

    I have always used Adobe Flash, and never had a problem with it.  When I installed the lastest release several months ago, I discovered that videos would not play at all. It's not just You Tube either; it's whatever site I visit. Six months of dealing with that was too much, so I uninstalled it, went online to look for an alternative, and guess what? The videos play just fine at MOST sites.  Others say that I need to install Flash Player.
    This is confusing, especially since I have no idea as to why this is happening. At the moment I do not have Flash installed, but I do need to resolve this. Any help would be appreciated, as far as ideas, recommendations etc. Thank you.

    YouTube is almost finished with the transition to HTML5 (MP4). The reason thay've done this is to be accessible to phone and tablet viewers who can't use Flash. Javascript in their pages determines if a browser has Flash Player, and if it doesn't, the page will display video in HTML5. THAT's why you see what you do there. NOT ALL websites have done this though. Yahoo is working on it, as are Hulu, Dailymotion and others. NetFlix has switched to SilverLight for playback which causes its own problems if you don't have THAT installed.
    Add to this mix, Microsoft released (without any "real world" testing) IE 11 almost two months ago (October 18) and it's been a nightmare to say the least. Pages/Sites don't recognize it because they screwed up some code in it, and... if a page or site can't recognize the browser, it certainly won't recognize any plug-ins it uses. Not a problem for HTML5 video which doesn't require the Player, but Facebook games, Pogo, and many other Flash sites DO require a browser and plug-in that the code recognizes.
    Is IE11 your browser by chance?

  • MOV video does not play

    Hello guys,
    I have posted a H.264 video clip on my website. It's size is 31 MB. It had played great when I was testing it from my desktop, but once I post it, it does not play. "Q" logo shows up, then the very first frame of the video shows up, but that's it. It does not start to play. Here is the link:
    http://www.icebergfilms.com/Video_files/demo1.mov
    Any idea what I do wrong?
    Thank you so much

    Hi Kirk,
    reason I am doing all these conversions is to achieve the smallest file possible for internet streaming in shortest period of time. I am exporting my video from Final Cut Pro timeline as QT movie. Then it goes to Compressor to be converted to ProRes to make it progressive and to change frame size. Resulting file goes to Compressor again to be converted to H.264. ProRes is an intermediate codec saving a lot of compression time.
    I am trying to check settings during last conversion (from ProRes to H.264): Make it Fast Start and change the audio to AAC. But even though resulting file shows that video is AAC, the file is not any smaller at all. And video does not upload any faster with Fast Start on. So obviously, I am doing something wrong.

  • Picture is shakimg when I burn a DVD using iDVD 8

    Can someone help me? Every movie I create looks good when played using iDVD preview but... when it is burnt it shakes!!

    Did you use iMovie or FCP to edit the video? if it's the latter, there is no field dominance tab in FCP however you change it thru your sequence, ctrl+ click your sequence in the browser and then choose settings.
    Change your field dominance there.... like this:
    if on the other hand you used FCExpress and not FCP, then add the following video effect filter:
    Effects -> Video Filter -> Video -> Shift fields

  • Pictures are blurry when slideshow is burned to dvd using iPhoto, iMovie and iDvd. How do I correct?

    I used iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD... How do I create a slideshow burned to a DVD without getting blurry images when slideshow is played through DVD a player?

    You created the slideshow using the built-in Ken Burns effect in iPhoto or iMovie? I've never found that to be up to my expectations; additionally, if the people or objects in the pictures have certain designs (in their clothes), using movement can blur them. I use Photo to Movie myself - to me it creates the smoothest movement in slideshows. Another possibility is the size of your images: did you increase or decrease their original size? And when you encoded it, what settings did you use? I use the Share > Quicktime > Expert settings and then choose these options:
    I've found that these settings result in the most lossless conversion. After the new .mov file is saved to the desktop, I then add it to iDVD after creating a customized menu and theme.

  • Some videos do not play when "Block all sites from storing information on this computer" is selected

    I have CS5 installed on my i Mac, running OS X Lion 10.7.5. Using Firefox, I have been having trouble with Adobe TV and the other instructional video's, however some of the video's promoting the new products do work (not all), but when I right click the menu gives me an option that shows flash player 11. whatever is working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the version that came with my CS5 Design Premium only to be told that to play the video's I have to update my flash player, when I do then the same nothing happens again.
    I can however run the video's on my iPad2 with Safari, haven't set up yet with Firefox. This is becoming a real pain to make room on my desk to view both screens so that I can use the tutorials, video's and tips while working on the various programs. I have checked all of the forum questions that have anything close to my issue to solve the problem. Unfortuately none of the suggestions posted so far have helped.
    If anyone has any other suggestions for me I would be truly grateful.
    Thank you, Tess.

    I know that you have to confirm some of these settings and the exact
    versions Installed and Running  to troubleshoot an issue. Believe me that I
    have been trying to resolve this issue for some time now using every
    suggestion that I can find online (your forums and other site forums). I
    have uninstalled and reinstalled some dozen times over the last couple of
    months trying to correct whatever happened to cause this problem, I will
    continue trying to look for other conflicts or blocks of some kind that may
    have come from some update. I haven't updated my OS yet until some of the
    issues are resolved by Apple, the college I attend updated the lab computers
    and now we cannot scan directly into Photoshop CS4 anymore. I have CS5
    Design Premium but just in case I will hold off for a while to upgrade.
    If I find the issue on my own I will send the information to you so that if
    anyone else has the same problem perhaps they won't have so many headaches
    to fix the issue. See below and attached for all the screens and versions
    that I am currently running for Flash Player, Firefox and the graphics card

  • Video does not play when imported from FCP

    When I import a clip from FCP into motion the clip opens up however only one frame shows up in the motion viewer. When I press play, there is no video..only that particular frame that was showing.
    The media tab shows the .mov file, and plays it in seperate window when i double click on it.
    Thanks for helping me out.

    How do you bring the file into Motion and what file are you actually opening in Motion?
    Are you exporting your FCP project as QT? or
    Are you sending your FCP project to Motion?
    Regards,
    Hisham

  • Videos Will Not Play When Using Safari Browser

    G'day,
    When I use IE 7 or Fire Fox Browsers the You Tube Videos play fine on my My Space page, they load on Safari, begin to start then freeze. Any help would be appreciated

    Try installing the plugin for Adobe Flash from this URL:

    if that doesn't work, a new one may be available at adobe.com:

    I made a movie with iMovie and cannot get the audio when I burn into dvd. I would like to transfer video to a dvd to be played in any computer and TV

    Go to the Map mode in your iDVD project and make sure the blue bin at the left is empty.  That's where you drag slideshows to if you want the DVD to open immediately to that slideshow and bypass the menu. 
    Click to view full size
    If there is an item in there drag it out.

    why the audio of my video in my itunes is not playing when i fullscreen it? HElp me please..

    Hi eversonjm,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If you are out of authorizations but only have 1 computer, deauthorizing all computers and reauthorizing your correct computer might be a good idea.  See this article for instructions:
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    If after deauthorizing and reauthorizing your computer, you are still not authorized for the 96 songs, this article has some steps for seeing the account name that was used to purchase a song, in the event that a different account may have been used:

  • I have a iMac - when I burn dvd of my home movies it does not play on other dvd players

    When i burn a dvd on my imac - it does not play on other dvd players

    Buy iDVD on Disk.
    Yes, there are other programs that will put a movie on a DVD.   I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, DVD Creator, Wondershare, and others.  None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie.
    http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/idvd.html
    With iDVD you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.
    IDVD is easy to get. It is available on disk as part of iLife 11.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.  (works with all Mac OS 10.5 and newer.)

    Do you have Flash installed?   Check HD > Library > Internet Plug-Ins
    If the Flash Player app is not in the Internet Plug-ins folder, download and install from here.
    When you post for help, please state which OS X is installed.
    If you aren't sure, click About this Mac from your Apple menu 

  • Ipod Video 30GB will not play when it is being charged...

    My new ipod will not play when it is being charged..., it keeps saying "Do not disconnect". Is it normal. If so this ***** !!! Or is there a setting I have overlooked !?
    Gosh, I am a techie and I am having so many problems with this crap & iTunes. Why the fcuk can it not just copy Directory structure (which has music files, photos, etc.) as is and not have to create freakin Playlist.
    Finally I found EphPod, but that thing will not do vidoes and photos.
    -cj
    XP 2000 Intel    

    But the iPod says "Do not disconnect" with the charging symbol !
    Have you Restored the iPod?
    if I eject ipod manually from the cradle or by ejecting it using iTunes. But then it stops charging.
    Your USB ports shut off when the iPod is Ejected.
    Here’s how to fix that.
    1. On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
    2. Double-click the System icon.
    3. Click the Hardware tab.
    4. Click Device Manager.
    5. Scroll down the list of devices to the Universal Serial Bus controllers
    6. Click the plus icon next to the Universal Serial Bus controllers.
    7. Double-click one of the indented USB Root Hub entries.
    8. Click the Power Management tab.
    9. Deselect the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" option.
    10. Click the OK button at the bottom of the window.
    11. Restart the computer.
    Also, about the playlist, if you do not create them, how will you sort or find from 1000's of music files
    You can use playlists but you don’t have to.
    On the iPod they are already sorted by;
    Artist
    Albums
    Songs
    Genre
    Composers
    EPHPod automatically creates a Playlist using the Directory name. Why can't iTunes do the same.
    It doesn’t need to. See above.
    You can create playlists as you want to.
