Naming Burned CD'S

How do you set a name to a CD that you've burned? For example, when I put the CD into someone elses's computer, will the playlist name come up as the CD title?
-Also, how can I ensure that the song titles and artists will show up?
THANK YOU!
-O.

Normal audio CDs do not support this. However an extension to the spec for audio CDs called CD Text does let the CD store artist, track, album name information.
iTunes 7 added the ability to burn audio CDs with the CD Text included, Roxio Toast has had this capability for some time.
Not all CD players can read the CD Text, iTunes and Windows Media Player cannot (WMP also cannot burn CD Text), a lot of in car CD players can.
If you are burning an MP3 CD then the situation is totally different. In this case, any information displayed is read from the MP3 tags contained in the MP3 tracks.

Burn folder naming

Hi:
Ever since the 10.4.4 update, naming burn folders has been a problem. although I have set preferences to show extensions, when I try to name a burn folder without typing in the extension, something I have never had to do with any folder, I receive a message telling me I can't rename the folder. If I retype the name and add fbpf, it accepts that. also, for reasons unknown to me, sometimes the folder pops up with a name like burnfolder3.fpbf. Everything seems to work but I wonder what's going on and if there's something I should do to fix it.
thanks.

Don't use OneStep.
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

I burnt a dvd from a file I exported from quicktime using the share with apple and pc option. It was burnt directly from the finder. The dvd works perfectly on my mac, and also runs in my windows, but the sound in my windows pc is stammered.

This is file I created in SnapzPro (which was saved as a Quicktime mov - Animation) of a Powerpoint Presentation.

Jon, how do I re-compress the Snapz data for dvd playback?
That depends on your specific work flow strategy. I normally perform the processing in two stages if editing is involved or in a single stage if I don't plan to trim, title, add a narration track, add special effects, and/or add filters to the Snapz Pro X captured screen data.
In the two-stage process you export the captured data to an intermediate low-compression, high-quality fomat. (This can be the default settings for Snaps Pro X or a more modern editing specific format like ProRes 422/Linear PCM depending on the codec components for which your system is configured and your personal editing preferences.) The Snapz Pro X intermediate file is then edited in the application of your choice and the results are re-compressed to your final target compression format.
In any case, whether you are re-compressing the data using QT 7 Pro, iMovie, GarageBand, MPEG Streamclip, Snapz Pro X, or similar third-party app that accesses the built-in OS X QT routines, the export process is essentially the same. Whether you use a "Movie to MPEG-4" or "Movie to QT Movie" export, you must export to a data rate limited, multi-pass H.264/AAC compression combination to take advantage of the "Optimize of CD/DVD" option. Specific data rate limits depend on the playback dimensions of the file you are creating, the minimum level of quality you will accept, and the playback speed of the hardware to be used. (I normally target 4X-8X settings for SD content but if you know the recipient has a higher rated optical drive and your content is HD, then you can use higher encode settings for improved quality.)
I captured the slideshow again in Snapz, and saved it as H264/AAC. Is this good enough?
If you did not specifically use the "Optimize for..." feature, then the file is automatically targeted for "Computer" playback which assumes playback is from an hard drive which has greater bandwidth/faster throughput than an optical media player. If the target display dimensions are resonably small, the the contextual nature of the H.264 video encoder may or may not be within the playback limitations of an optical drive usually depending on the encode matrix dimensions, graphic complexity of the source data, overall brightness of the scenes, and limitations you may have place on the target file—i.e., the larger the encoding dimensions, the faster the data date and the less likely the file will be compatible with optical drive playback without having to constantly interrupt playback to cache/rebuffer additional data. However, you can always tell the recipient that if this happens, he or she should simply copy the movie file from the CD/DVD to their hard drive for playback.
What now? Do I open it in Quicktime and use the "share for mac and pc", then right-click on it in the finder and "burn to disc?"
What you do next depends on how you plan to burn the file. The steps explained above allows you to create a file that is compatible with playback from an optical drive in a QT Player app but is not authored for playback from a commercial DVD Player. Your next step is to burn that file to an optical disc that can be read by your recipient's computer. I my case, I normally burn the disc using a hybrid (HFS Plus/ISO 9660) format which supports HFS Plus, ISO-9660, Rock Ridge, and Joliet with Rock Ridge file systems. How you do this is up to you. You can, for instance, use a third-party app like Toast or Dragon Burn to create a data disc; create/burn an image file with your Disk Utility app (this is a good option if you plan to burn several discs now and/or in the future); create a named "Burn" folder, drop the file to it, and press the burn button; or simply insert a blank optical media disc into you optical drive, change the default disc name to whatever you want, drop your file to the blank media's Finder window, and press the "Burn" button. (NOTE: Burn options may differ depending on the software installed on your system and/or the version of OS X under which you may be operating.)
Dont see any specs re playback from an optical disc drive? The slideshow is only 3 min long, and I want to avoid turning it into a video DVD using iDVD, iMovie etc, as the quality of the pictures and type degrades badly. Thanks for the help. Been struggling with this for weeks.
As noted above, this is an encode setting that only becomes active when you are targeting your H.264/AAC encode for multi-pass/data rate limited compression. When active, the "Optimize for..." pop-up allows you to select "computer" (targets playback from a hard drive), "CD/DVD" (targets playback from optical media), or "Streaming" (targets playback from a realtime streaming server) options. This option prevents data rate excursions from exceeding limits normally associated with each of the named types of playback. This option has nothing to do with the file system used to burn the media disc which determines which platforms/OS can read the disc and the file it contains.

How to make a photo into a single or 2 colored stamp/vector type image

I'm fairly new to photoshop and have seen designs like the few I've posted below and I want to know how I can make my pictures into items like those. I tired doing a search but I'm not even sure what this type of image & techinque is called, so the search ended in failure. I have the newest edition of photoshop as well as photoshop, photoshop elements and corel painter essentials. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

When I go to Blu-Ray on the Status it says No Burners detected, and with AVCHD it says Busy.
1. Does your burn dialog have a field named burner location:? If so, does your Blu-ray burner show up as a choice in its drop down list?
2. And, with that "...with AVCHD it says Busy", have you selected Publish+Share/Disc/AVCHD disc and inserted a Blu-ray disc instead of a DVD disc, when you get the Busy message? The choice of Blu-ray is a Blu-ray disc; the choice for AVCHD is only a DVD disc. So, please clarify that point.
3. Have you tried Publish+Share/Disc/AVCHD disc with a DVD double layer single sided disc?
4. As a note..the maximum bitrate for burn to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc 4.7 GB/120 minutes and 8.5 GB/240 minutes is the same, that is 8.00 Mbps. Whereas, the maximum bitrate is much higher for the AVCHD burn to DVD disc and the Blu-ray burn to Blu-ray disc (about 15.74 to 15.50 Mbps for AVCHD DVD, and about 20.19 to 24.0 Mbps for Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc. More details on the exact values if needed.
What is the bitrate of the AVCHD file that you have imported to the Timeline? See if you agree...if the source has a higher bitrate than the export bitrate, would not you expect smaller file size for the export? And if the source has a lower bitrate than the export bitrate, would not you expect a larger file size for export?
Do some mini tests runs to prove or disprove that. Look at the Space Required and Bitrate reading in the burn dialog when you have a given disc in the burner tray.
Please review.

Dvd quality not up to HD expectations

hi folks, doing a first HD project here...have a 23 minute timeline project in 1080i using Photo JPEG compression in the timeline. all my source material is 1080i and I have added in some material shot at lower def. Problem is when I export and burn a DVD, the DVD playback is less than stellar. Even the graphics and static graphic overlay is blotchy. I have upgraded the DVD player to HDMI output to an LED play back screen. The image fits the 1080 window but the quality is pixelated. However the quality on the computer screen is superb. I export as 1280x 720p and its rock solid on the computer. When I burn that to disk, the quality degrades. Any suggestions as what I may be doing wrong?

What are you using to "burn a DVD?" If you are using iDVD or similar program, you will never get a HD result. IDVD only makes 480i mpeg1 DVDs. There is no HD in the standard DVD spec. You can get HD on a DVD or blu-ray disk that will play on most standard blu-ray players. Apple doesn't support blu-ray. For blu-ray you will need an external blu-ray burner and a program like Toast 11 or RevolverHD....
It can also be done by exporting or converting you HD video to AVCHD (.mt2s) format and using tsMuxeR to create the BD file structure and the Burn program to burn the DVD. The following is from a post from last year. The noted apps are freeware.
As noted earlier, the current official version of tsMuxeR does not work with Snow Leopard. The work around is to download an unofficial recompile at the following link:
http://rs709.rapidshare.com/files/327599781/tsMuxeR_1.10.6_VoxMac_Unofficial_Bui ld.dmg
Additionally there are two fonts that seem to cause tsMuxeRGUI to fail. They are AppleMyungjo.ttf and Gungseouche.ttf located in /Library/Fonts. They are Korean fonts, so if you don't need them, delete them.
Now tsMuxeRGUI will run. Use the .M2TS file as the input. Select "AVCHD disk" as the output and select an output directory and start muxing. This creates the necessary file structure.
I used an app named Burn to make the AVCHD disk. It is available at:
http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html
From Burn use the data tab. Drag and drop the two folders that were created by stMuxeR to the file list in Burn. I selected DVD (UDF) as the type of disk then inserted a blank DVD-R into the mac. After Burn acknowledged the disk I click on the burn button and a few minutes later I had my AVCHD disk that played in my Samsung Blu-Ray box in glorious HD.
Hope this info helps,
Dan

Something in Disc Drive?

Hello. I have a Macbook 4,1 for over a year now and I have been having some problems with the drive.
I had it in my backpack and when I got it out in class, I noticed something blue in the drive. I didn't have anything that could remove it right then and there, so i decided to wait until I got home. At home, I forgot about it and put a disc in (stupid!)
Since then, I've had major problems with discs, namely burning. I managed to get the disc to read discs by sliding a thin paper into the drive and sliding it out diagonally to try to clear the obstruction. The drive began to work as far as reading, but when trying to burn an iso using Disc Utility it failed (giving me an error stating the media was incompatible or the speed was too high, neither of which were true) and when it ejected it sounded like it was caught on something as it was getting out which is funny, because the discs go in perfectly...
My warranty has expired and I didn't have the money to get Apple Care when I needed to. I have opened up my Macbook before (to check the fan and cooling system and to remove dust), but I am hesitant to open it again for fear of stripping some of the smaller screws and thus being unable to put it back together again. Also, did that disqualify my computer from getting repaired by apple?
Please help!
Thank you.

Also, did that disqualify my computer from getting repaired by apple?
You can get your machine repaired by Apple, but the cost is likely a lot more than just buying an external optical drive simply because the warranty is expired.

How to make a 2 hour long dvd? With highest quality? PE12

I made a two hour long event which I plan on burning into a dvd with the highest quality. It's avchd files. I want to burn it in h.264 1920x1080i pal dolby. I then tried to export the file onto my computer but it showed the file size to be 36,000 which is about 35 gb. I need to know if I export it directly to a dvd, will the size be smaller or the same. If it will be a large 35 gb then I guess I'll need a bigger dvd gb size which all I can find is blu-ray single layers, but I only find 25gb, also do this recordable disks be allowed to play in any dvd player or just blu-ray? Any good cites to buy them cheap? Here are the pictures, first one is where it shows I want to export it to my computer, and the second is to dvd, (DVD is not put in.)

PC Can't open a DVD/CD made on my Mac

I made a CD and a DVD of jpeg photos on my mac. I did not do it from iPhoto. I did it with disk utility after making a disk image from a folder. I then gave it to my daughter who runs windows XP on her laptop. She is not able to open either disk. I can't help her because PC's make me nuts!
Is there a way to open them?
Is there something that I did or something or that I can do (formating?) so that she can open them if I make another set of disks?

Paper
If you made a disc image from a folder and burnt it, you most likely made Mac formated disc (either Extended or Standard) which wouldn't be able to be read on a PC. Now I haven't used iPhoto to burn discs, so I don't know if it can do hybrid discs (Mac & PC), but you can try this...
If you go to the File menu (when in Finder), select "New Burn Folder". Drag your photos into the newly created "Burn Folder". Don't worry that the files look like aliases (they are just placeholders, the actual files will be written to disc). When you are done loading the folder (and don't forget to rename the folder to what you want the disc to be named), burn the disc by either clicking the "Burn" button in the open "Burn Folder" window, or selecting "Burn 'Folder Name' to Disc..." via the Finder's "File" menu. Insert blank disc, and away you go. According to the dialog, a Burn Folder burn "should" be readable on both Mac and Windows.
Or...
Open Disk Utility... click New Image... then select Image Format>MS-DOS (FAT)... then select a size that can accommodate all the photos... name the image, then create it.
When the image mounts on your desktop, drag your photos into it (like a virtual HD), then unmount it. When you are done, burn it to disc with Disk Utility.
Now since this is in MS-DOS format, you may need to rename the files in the old 8+3 format (XXNAMEXX.EXT), or the files maybe truncated when viewed on a PC.
Hopefully one of these methods will work for you. It's been awhile since I've done either of these, as I use Toast for my burning needs. However, you should be go to go.

DJ SUGGESTIONS for Itunes

Hello,
I have 2 suggestions to make to the creators of itunes:
1- When will you create a NOW PLAYING list for the program??? Like Windows Media player has. It is a stupid idea everytime you want to listen to a selection of musics create a New Playlist and then later erase it. A Now Playing list is intantaneal, you listen what you feel like to listen in the moment and then adding to it whatever music you feel like. THIS IS IMPORTANT because everyone wants this.
2- my second suggestion has to do with my work as a DJ, and what i suggest is to create a new Column in the Music Library named "Burned" to see if that song as already been burned in a CD or not. This is usefull for me as a DJ because I download a lot of songs and then burn it in CD´s for mixing in my CDJ´s. I have so many CD´s and so many songs burned that i loose track of what i have already burned. Sometimes a burn the same song 2 or 3 times. Othertimes i think that i have burned a song but when i search for it i can´t find it in my CD´s collection meaning that i haven´t burned the song.
Hope you agree with me and can improve your software.
Thank you.

Sorry, but I for one have no idea what it is you're talking about here. The "Now Playing" list in Windows Media Player just displays what track is currently being played along with a Visualizer-type display; it doesn't control anything itself in that mode. Could you please then explain further what it is you want iTunes to do?
You are aware, aren't you, that you don't have to create a playlist to listen to an entire album or artist? Just turn on the Browser (under the View menu), and you can select artists or albums and play them. No need to create a playlist.

Burn a named CD using applescript

I am having trouble invoking a CD Finder burn command in applescript.
What I want to do is have the applescript get selected text, name the CD based on the selected text, burn it, verify it and finally eject it.
How would I create a script like this? Also, I'm only burning one folder to each disc I make. So the specified name would be of the selected folder. Thanks

Hi,
You shouldn't need to use Disk Utility to burn a plain data CD/DVD.

Hello Princess Lynne Anne,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
First I recommend taking a look at this article named iTunes: Music purchased from iTunes Store cannot be burned to MP3 format CD found http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1476.
Songs purchased from the iTunes Store may either be in AAC format or AAC Protected format depending on when they were purchased (older songs used AAC Protected format). You can convert AAC songs to MP3 format allowing them to be burned to an MP3 format CD, however AAC Protected songs can not be converted. You can, however, back them up to a data CD or DVD, or you can burn them to an audio CD (which can be played in a CD player).
And if your issue still persists after converting any of these purchases, then I would recommend this part of the article named Disc Burning Quick Assist found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1152#learn2:
Top troubleshooting tips
In addition to the following tips, check out these articles:
Solving problems with burning discs
If the disc burning options are dimmed or unavailable
If a burn does not succeed, check the disc or try another disc
Eject the disc from the drive and inspect it to see if the surface is dirty or scratched, or if it already has data written on it (the shiny surface is slightly darker where data has already been burned). If it's dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth and try burning again. If the disc already contains data, try another disc. If you're using a rewritable disc that already contains data, be sure to erase it before burning data on it again. Small flaws or surface inconsistencies can cause an unsuccessful burn. Try burning your content to another disc or try a different brand of disc (if possible).
Make sure that your optical drive can record discs
If your drive is built into your Mac, make sure that you have at least a Combo Drive if you want to burn a CD or a SuperDrive if you're trying to burn a DVD (or CD). Consult your Mac manual or your third-party manufacturer's disc drive manual for more information.
Check the disc type
Make sure that your disc drive is capable of writing to your media at hand. For example, you won't be able to burn a DVD+RW disc with an older Apple SuperDrive. Consult your Apple or third-party product manual for your drive's supported media specifications. You should also use discs that are rated for the burn speed of your drive.
Slow things down
In the Burn dialog, specify a burn speed that is slower than the maximum speed rating for your disc drive (if you can) and try burning another disc.
Free up some memory
If you've got other applications open, quit the ones that you're not using (or quit them all except for the one from which you're burning your disc). Allow the disc to burn before doing other things on your computer.
Check your hard drive's available space
When you burn a disc, your Mac temporarily sets aside an amount of hard disk space equal to the amount of data being burned to the disc. If you're burning a large amount of data, you may run out of room on your hard disk if it's almost full, which may prevent a disc from burning. To free up space, throw out unwanted files or back up files to an external drive.
Restart your computer
Sometimes a simple restart can resolve issues. Once you've restarted your Mac, try burning another disc again.
Update your software
Use Software Update (from the Apple menu, choose Software Update) to check for, download, and install the latest versions of your Apple software. If you're using a third-party burner, visit the manufacturer's website for the latest software updates for your model.
Check your connections
If you're using an external disc writer, make sure that all of your cable connections are secure and that the optical drive is powered on.
Cheers,
Sterling

Itunes 6.0 - if download is on playlist, it won't burn - Please help

Hi Everyone (and Toonz, perhaps we can continue where we left off in Dec)
Basically my problem is that I can't burn any purchased tracks from Itunes. I can burn uploaded stuff from my own cd collection, but not if it has a purchased track on the playlist.
It checks playlist, ticks the tracks then freezes/hangs and I have to control alt delete to get out of Itunes entirely.
So far I've updated firmware, tried it with firewall and security system off and pop ups off, tried both cd drives. Tried different burn speeds and cd makes.
What I have done is managed to burn it to data disc, but then of course I can't play it on anything other than the pc, so that's no use.
This all started when I had to re-load Itunes to version 6 after a pc crash. The previous version was fine.
I've updated to the very latest version of Itunes (6.0.2 I think) just the other day, but no joy.

Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

I personally feel that this has something to do with licenses but that's just a hunch.
Does anyone know how licenses can be renewed, or se-sent to my computer to authorise me to use the tracks (Media Player has a function that does this)?
I'm willing to try whatever people suggest if I haven't tried it already.

Janieburmy,
You can always deauthorize all your machines from your store account page — just log in and view your account settings and there's a button to deauth all your machines. Which just means for the other machines, it will ask you for your store ID / password the next time you play a purchased song.
So, let's try the filter experiment.
On the start menu, click on "run". in the space it provides enter "regedit" without the quotes. This will open the registry editor.
Find the heading HKEYLOCALMACHINE. Click on it.
Find the heading SYSTEM inside it. Click on it.
Find the heading CurrentControlSet. Click
Find the heading Control. Click
Find the heading Class. Click
Find the heading that begins {4D36E965- Click
Go up to the Registry menu and select "Export Registry File... command. Make sure the "Selected Branch" radio button is checked and save that off somewhere that you can find it.
Delete the key named LowerFilter.
Select the key named UpperFilter, right click, select "modify". Then edit the text in the dialog to just say "GEARAspiWDM" followed by hitting the return key, the return after the word is important.
Then reboot, and see what iTunes does.
To get the system back to its previous state. Run Regedit again and use the Registry menu -> Import Registry File... command and select the file that you saved off in the first section.
I'm particularly interested in getting rid of the "AFS2K" driver in the chain — that's a old driver from a company that hasn't existed in years.
To answer your last question, why am I doing this?... I'm paying off a karmic debt. And someday we'll start that Tequila for Toonz paypal account and then I'll be set.

I name each photo buy replacing the jpeg number with the name. when I burn to disk and open disk the name is not shown. how do I get the name given to show on the burn disk?.

after I burn the files to dvd and load to view the name does not appear. How do I get the name listed to appear on the burn disk instead of the file number?

Naming the Photo - or giving it a title - is not the same as naming file.
How are you burning to dvd? With iPhoto? If so then the Title will be available in any app that understands basic metadata.
If you want the title available in the Finder - which does not understand photo metadata - then you'll need to export the file
File -> Export
In the resulting dialogue you'll see a heading for 'File Name'. Choose 'Use Title' from the drop down.

Encore CS3 crash when i click Build (SWF, BluRay, DVD Burn/Image/Folder) or Check project

So I'm finally done with my DVD. Now i want this burned to a dvd or make an image file. Each time i hit BUILD or START (Check proj) the program quits and I'm left with the normal OS X message: The application Adobe Encore quit unexpectedly >> Ignore - Report... - Relaunch
My DVD is not that fancy but i got a menu with 3 buttons made in PS with a pointer highlight and a animating background made in After Effects (using dynamic link) with some music. All of the buttons link to After effects comps with dynamic link. All of the after effects compositions are transcoded and works within the DVD preview (except the DVD menu background wont play, and i got a feeling it will play when i export an image or DVD). And all the After Effects comps links back 2 the menu when done. So there should be no error in the project flowchart.

(small jpg file)
So i hit build and Encore quits, shut down, finada (Every time!). No matter what out put settings i use. I've exported DVD's from encore before on this computer without problems.

Don't know if this any help but hope anybody got some ideas. I've been trying to look for a solution on the forums, but without any luck.
By the way, I'm using a Mac Pro v3,1 (early 2008) with 2 x 2,8ghz quads, 10GB memory, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (512mb) and plenty of disk space.

Hey, i think if there could be any of the possibilities you talk about, it might have been a naming error. All files i created had the same name in the new project as in the old one. But i used 1 asset arrow that i copy pasted from a library button "Red facets button" and shift pasted on my own buttons as highlight (paste sub picture). In the first project i did not do this as a straight forward thing, a lot of deleting and adding because i had never done it before and there might have happened something with the naming of the arrow i pasted. I used the same arrow in the second project but without messing with delete, paste all the time. But some how there is no problems now, just something wrong with the last project file =S
Not so important:
I also noticed while building the new project i once got an "General error", not sure why but happened after a random crash. And 2 get rid of it i had to delete the menu and make it again (i could not edit anything in the menu without getting the error). I rebuild the menu and had another crash when exiting the program, because i thought my computer needs to boot after 2 days online. When i reopened the project i got "General error" in the menu again, but after some clicking it didn't show up (random). Finally i got my project setup and everything works, i did the copy past as sub picture as a straight forward thing.

Hi James,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue burning one or more CDs on your MacBook Pro. The article linked below has a lot of great suggestions that may be able to resolve the issue.
