  • Apple TV needs a dvd player?

    Anyone else think this would be nice add-on?
    Message was edited by: djmckay

    no...
    i already have a DVD player and don't need another one and i think 99.99% of the people with an appleTV already have a DVD player too.... don't even need the one i have at this point.
    in fact i don't want anything do do with physical media at all... it's a pain in the behind.. it takes up huge amounts of room to store.. when you have lots of titles it's incredibly hard to find something to watch or listen to, kids love scratching them... when you start a DVD you have to wait for the FBI warning, commercials, menu... etc, etc it's BS... with appleTV you press play and it starts.
    i hate physical media... i got an appleTV so i don't have to deal with it... i wouldn't be willing to pay for apple to add a DVD in an appleTV that i don't need..

  • Need External DVD Player that Works on Mac

    My G4 fell (ouch) and the right corner bent and the DVD player doesn't work anymore. At Best Buy I bought a LG DVD player and burner, but my G4 wouldn't recognize it. Then I bought a Pioneer DVD player and burner, but it wouldn't recognize that either (this one has a place to plug in a cord to power it from the wall, but it didn't help).
    Does anyone know of an external DVD player and burner that will work with a Mac G4? They seem to all be well under $100, a lot cheaper than having a Mac repair person open up my G4 and try to fix the internal player and also replace the shell.
    BTW, I guess I could get by without a burner, so if you know of just a player that would work with my G4, I would consider it. Also the LG player says on the box it works with Mac, but then I noticed it needs OS X 10.5 . I suppose it costs over $100 to upgrade, so I don't think it's worth it.

    All PowerBooks starting the G3 "Pismo" dating to Feb 2000 have Firewire Ports. On the 17" G4, the FireWire 400 port is the only labeled "2" in this image of the right edge of the computer:

    FireWire is an Apple trademark for the IEEE 1394 interface. Other companies will usually use the IEEE designator to avoid mentioning Apple.

  • I need a DVD player software for my computer...

    I had the working DVD player software for my Powerbook G4 installed, and somehow it got deleted, and now will not play any DVD's. I don't have any of the starter discs that came with the computer and dont know anyone who has another mac like mine, that uses OS X 10.3.9
    Where can I download the application that I lost that will work?

    it was confusing at first, but it worked perfectly. thank you!

  • Mini as a DVD player & PVR

    Your expert opinion needed:
    I'm soon to upgrade my entire AV set-up at home. This is what I'm thinking:
    Mac:
    Intel iMac/MacBook where iPod will dock
    Audio:
    iTunes Library held on a Time Capsule
    Wireless music in house with Sonos (no doubt Apple will soon bring out an update to Airtunes allowing the same functionality using an iPod Touch!)
    Video:
    Video files stored on Time Capsule
    Apple TV to watch rented/ripped video content
    Mac Mini to act as DVD player and as PVR/Tivo using EyeTV
    Does anyone have any experience of using the Mac Mini as their sole/main DVD player & PVR/Tivo? Is it in practice a bit clunky to boot up a full working computer (rather than a stand alone DVD/PVR machince) to watch or record a show (and having to come out of TV stream to access recording functionality)? Or does the addded functionality/adaptability work really well?
    Would love to get opinions as I'm still undecided about having this set up or a Topfield (Toppy) and EyeTV on the iMac. Only trouble with that would of course be that I would also need a DVD player and recording a TV show wouldn't be very sponstaneous as the EyeTV would be in a different room. Would be nice to have recorded shows ready to go on my iPod though. Decisions decisions...
    Many thanks

    I had had a setup like that for a couple of months now. It is easier to never turn the Mini off and simply put it in sleep mode when not in use.
    The most annoying part is the keyboard and mouse. I use a Logitech DiNovo Edge wireless keyboard and trackpad and it is a bit akward. It would be really nice to have some kind of "air" mouse which can act as both a mouse and remote for Front Row.
    Another issue is that there is no good way to keep 5.1 audio when you rip DVDs to something iTunes/Front Row and see and play even though the Mini as a TOSLink output which goes to my Yamaha receiver. DVDs played through OS X Leopard player keep 5.1 audio just fine.
    I use EyeTV and it seems to work ok, I just wish it was fully integrated with Front Row rather than using its own menu system. EyeTV can automatically recompress recorded shows to H.264 and dump it into your iTunes library which is really convenient.
    Things get complicated if you're trying to use EyeTV for, say, cable TV and over-the-air HD. I have tried using 2 USB tuner sticks and EyeTV requires that both use the same signal type (cable or OTA). If you use a QAM capable tuner card with cable, you'll be able to tune in all open HD channels (cable companies were mandated to rebroadcast local network stations unscrambled in HD by the FCC)

  • I need to play iMovie on dvd player

    I've created my movie on iMovie, saved it to disc.  When I put it in a DVD player, it wouldn't play.
    What else do I need to do?

    Hi
    You've created a DATA-DVD - and it will not play in any DVD-player - What You need to create is a Video-DVD and to do such You need a DVD-authoring program as iDVD or Roxio Toast.
    There are no way around this.

  • Why do I need to restart to play a DVD movie?

    I'm not sure if this MacBook related or Leopard related. When I put a DVD in my internal or external optical drive my MacBook locks up completely and a message appears stating that I need to restart by holding down the power button or using the reset button. I hold the power button down to shut the MB down and then I reboot and I'm able to play the movie which is still in the drive. These are original commercial movie DVDs and the problem is repeatable with different movies.
    Any ideas why this would be happening?

    I'm still experiencing this problem and can't pin it down so if anyone can understand these things I'd appreciate it. I have of course used the Report function to send Apple this panic log:

    FC/e is based upon the Quicktime-engine; so, on 'Export using QT', you'll get all codecs & settings.
    but which one..
    due to sheer popularity, YouTube became a 'standard' - I'm happy with the convenience, YT and the 'embed'-code offers - excellent quality, automatic adjusted to the watchers connection&hardware.
    my export settings are 720p, h264, 6MBit/sec - gives a - imho! - superb quality.
    (example of a 'screen-test' from my latest project CLICK )
    for creating so-called 'flash video'/.flv, you need 3rd party apps.
    Sorenson Squeeze is more of an pro-tool, .. you need some background knowledge to get noticeable 'better' quality.
    .. and the question is: are you willing to pay $.$$$ for that 0.x% more quality .. ? does your source offers such a 101% quality, which needs such affords?
    if bandwidth is an issue, because you're hosting on your own servers, consider the free codec xh264, you can install as a free QT-plug-in.. with low or super-low bitrates, it offers a superior quality compared to h264 ...

  • What program do i need for making dvds I can play in a dvd player

    what program do i need for making dvds that i can play in a dvd player?

    iDVD.
    Apple no longer sells it. Buy any version of iLife from your favourite software vendor. iLife 11, 09, and 08 all contain the same version of iDVD.
    When you get the disc install only iDVD, then update it here:
    iDVD 7.1.2

  • I need an app for my Mac Pro to convert MP4 to MOV  format to play in a DVD player

    I need an app for my Mac Book Pro to convert MP4 to MOV  format to play in a DVD player.  Thanks

    Quicktime can do this.
    Open the MP4 in Quicktime Player. From the menu bar, File >Export > select quality. The subsequent file will be saved as .mov
    Alternatively, you can simply change the extension on the mp4 file to mov since the codec is the same.
    *I should mention that .mov format is not DVD format (TS_VIDEO), and the DVD will not play in a DVD player, even if you successfully burn the file to it.

  • Need help getting ipod/phone videos onto a DVD that will play in my dvd player

    I have so many videos on my old ipod and my two iphones. I need to get them onto a DVD that will play in my dvd player because they are all the videos I have of my kids when they were babies(bad I know!) So I bought iLife and have iDVD and a macbook pro laptop. Would anyone be willing to write step by step what i need to do to get them onto a DVD as I am very new to all the technology these days. Thank you so much in advance

    First you need to get them onto your Mac.  Use image capture and download them to a folder on the Desktop.  Next, you need a video DVD authoring program.  IMO iDVD is the best.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Softwareor eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the download movie files into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.  Some themes will only allow 6 items per menu, including sub menus, others up to 10 I believe.  Sub menus can always be added to add more movies to the project. This is an example of a project with multiple slideshows/movies and menus:
    IMPORTANT:  iDVD is not concerned with the size of the media files in regards to what the iDVD disk can hold.  All that's important is the total playing time of all of the movie files including the menus.  A single layer DVD disc can hold up to 120 minutes of playing time.  A double layered disk 240 minutes.  IMO it's best to go with multiple single layered disks.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty 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.

  • Need DVD to play on windows media player also?

    I made a dvd of some footage and output as a quicktime movie. I then used the best DVD setting in compressor. Lastly I used toast to burn the dvd. The dvd will play on everything except the windows media player. How can I get the dvd to play in the windows media player also. I looked at the flipformac site and was wondering if that program will do it. What are you guys using?
    Thanks

    Hi David
    My statement 'Windows Media Player is not a DVD video player' is not mine, it is a Microsoft definition. Windows Media Player is specifically for playing Windows Media Video files - WMV. It can also play mpeg(1) AVI and other sound files like CD audio.
    For some kind of licencing/payments thing, WMP is not packaged with an mpeg2 codec and some other bits that make the DVD interactive. Microsft's advice is to use the software player that is packaged with the DVD drive.
    What can be tried is the Microsoft utility which might let the video play but might not navigate correctly. Not all codecs are compatable with WMP.
    My own suggestion for reliability is, to playback DVD Video always use the installed dedicated DVD player and never WMP.
    What can be a problem is that the user has not installed the DVD software player which is often on a separate resources disc.

  • I used the download Burn to burn my iMovie onto a dvd.  It won't play on my dvd player.  Is there anything I need to do?

    I made a movie using imovie.  I have a macbook pro 11.  So I don't have iDvd.  I used Burn to burn a dvd.  It works on my computer.  But not in a dvd player.  Is there something I'm missing?

    Is there something I'm missing?
    Yes, iDVD.
    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.)

  • DVD from PE9 won't play in computer let alone another DVD player

    I produced a 7 minute video in HD. I can play it on my computer either as HD or at standard res from files produced via the "Computer:Export files..." on the Share menu. I need to produce a standard NTSC DVD and when I burn using the "Disc: Burn DVD..." I get a message that the burn has been completed successfully. Yet the DVD will not play on my computer if I reinsert in in the same drive I just used to burn it, and won't play in a regular DVD player either. The computer doesn't even see the disc if I search for it. I've read a lot of stuff about DVD-Rs and booktypes and bitsetting but this doesn't seem to apply here since the computer can't read its own disc. Burning a copy of the files burned to folders doesn't work either. The DVD burner burns everything else just fine. I am using DVD+Rs. Would it make any difference if I used DVD-Rs? Or is there anything else anyone can suggest? I am using Windows 7 Professional. Thanks.

    >burning to a folder
    If you are able to write (not burn) the folder structure to your hard drive, you may use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc
    Put a commercial DVD in your drive and take a look with Windows Explorer to see the folder structure and the types of files... and make sure what you write to a folder from PE is similar
