Need Help! How to Burn a DVD from an Image on my Desktop

I have an image on my desktop that I want to burn so that it can be played in any or most DVD players. I put an empty DVD-R in my drive and opened it with finder. Dragged and dropped the image and burned it. That does not work in the DVD Player. Can someone please tell me how to do it right?
Thanks,
~Meko~
PS: Whish I still had the original DVD SP Project!

i could do with some help now!
i recently bought a macbook. its got a superdrive so its got a dvd burner.
i have copied dvds as disk images and i want to burn them but they are all more than 4.7gb, so they dont fit on a dvd.
is there any way i can get them to fit?? aldo, does burning as a disk image allow them to be played on a normal dvd player, and does it get rid of the region code?
thanks

  • What software do I need so i can burn a DVD from iMovies?

    I simply want to burn a DVD from my iMovies and send to another party to be able to play on their computer or DVD.

    Apple don't want you to do that.
    The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast.

  • Help. trying to burn a dvd from fcpx. says bitrate too high

    I'm using fcpx for a montage with effects like generators etc...not sure if this is why it says bitrate too high. I want to burn a dvd and it stops at 66% saying bitrate too high. I've seen an answer from 2011....wondering if anyone has anything new? My computer is Mac book pro 15 inch, latest software. I went to compressor but the final product doesn't allow me to put in a title and i'm worried about final quality. Thanks for any help

    I would say usually it's about the same. If the settings are adjusted properly, it can sometimes improve the results; conversely, there's always the potential to get terrible results if the settings are wrong. (FCP X Share kind of takes that risk out of the process.)
    Where the software can often add value is when you have long videos that you're trying to fit on a disk. Or trying to compress certain HD material with complex scenes. Or sometimes, you'll run into players that choke on a DVD and the adjustments in Compressor give you a chance to adjust the bit rate to a level that widens the disk's playability. And there are audio and video effects that can be added in Compressor without re-editing in FCP.
    BTW, I don't believe you've yet told us how long your project is.

  • How to burn a dvd from Bridge, through the Output Module to a DVD?

    How do I burn a dvd pdf slideshow?  I have CC, ACR, Bridge and I have loaded the Output Module.  I know how to create the slideshow in Bridge.  How do I get from Bridge through the Output Module to the DVD?

    Copying the pdf to DVD is an OS function, not something to do from Bridge.  When you save the pdf you select a location where to save it (desktop or folder of your choice).  To copy that saved pdf file to DVD you use a DVD writing program on your system or OS copy function (such as windows explorer if on windows) to copy from the location where you saved the pdf to the DVD drive on your system.

  • Need help- How do I transfer iTunes from external/internal to new computer?

    My old computer crashed. I have iTunes on an external drive, but not exported exactly as iTunes suggests in "back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive". I am following the directions from support "Restoring your iTunes library backup". Get all the way to "Choose Library", which I do, and then select iTunes folder. Step 7 says to click "choose". I click on the folder, because i do not have a "choose" button. Nothing happens, it just opens the file. If I connect my ipod it opens and a screen tells me I have to "erase and sync" because my ipod is synced with another library. Do I erase and sync? I'm scared of losing hours of music I copied from CD's. (I was able to transfer purchased music.) I have downloaded iTunes 9.0 on my new computer.
    Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Well, I would skip the Firewire since it isn't essential. Connect the backup drive to your new Retina when it arrives, but before you turn it on for the first time. When you then turn it on you will begin in the Setup Assistant where you will have an opportunity to restore your files from a backup drive or another computer. Select the appropriate option. You can then restore (migrate) your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences. Once that is completed when the computer restarts you will be all set up in your old Home folder.
    Note that you will be transferring files over a USB connection. Depending upon how much data you are transferring this may take a very long time, so be patient. A USB drive's typical transfer rate is about 12 GBs/hour.

  • Need help - How do I sync contacts from iPhone TO my computer (Windows XP)?

    I have manually entered my contacts into my iPhone for a year now and would like to transfer the information from my iPhone to my computer. My default email account on the iPhone is my Yahoo! account. I am afraid to try it on my own because I don't want to lose my info. Advice, please?!

    Firstly, ensure you're using iTunes 7.7. In iTunes, select your iPhone and then go to the info menu. The first selection will be contacts. Tick the box that says "Sync Address Book contacts". You can then select all contacts. Click the Apply button (bottom right corner) and sync. Contacts should appear on the computer. It syncs between the not delete. As for yahoo email account, you can try, nothing will be lost.

  • How do you burn a dvd from imovie if computer does not have idvd anymore?

    How can I burn a dvd from imovie if this computer does not have idvd? is there anything in mountain lion that will allow this simple task to be completed.'
    When i try to finish a project in iphoto it wont even do that...can anyone help?

    Buy 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.)

    How do I burn a DVD from an imovie?

    Use iDVD.
    Apple no longer sells it. Buy any version of iLife 11, 09, or 08 from your favourite software vendor and install just the iDVD app.

  • How do I burn a DVD from IMovie?

    I have created a project in IMovie 08 and would like to save it to a DVD that can, in turn, be played on a computer or TV.  However, there is no obvious way to burn a DVD from IMovie.  How do I do this? 

    Hi
    You start by saying - I have created a project in IMovie 08 -
    But then say that You don't have iDVD ?
    If You got iMovie 08 then this was delivered with iDVD - so by finding this on hard disk or DVDs and then install it on the New Mac - DIRECTLY THEN - Update (do not try it first - will mess things up) by using Program-Up-date under Apple menu. to iDVD v. 7.1.2 - and all will be well.
    Only brand new Macs delivered with iMovie'11 v. 9.0.4/6 - will be delivered without iDVD.

  • Burning to DVD from iPhoto - Help!

    Hello All
    I am trying to burn all our photos from iPhoto to DVD. There is 7.3gb of data, and I am trying to burn to a DL DVD with a capacity of 8.5gb.
    The steps I take to do are Share -> Burn. However, when I try this, the bottom of the screen tells me that the disc, with a capacity of 9.3gb, is full. Aside from the weird discrepancy on capacity, this doesn't make any sense, as this is a new, blank DVD fresh out of the packaging/
    Strangley, when I go to eject the DVD, it is not on the desktop, and does not appear in Disk Utility, although pressing the eject button does work.
    I am using a workaround, having exported the photos to a bun folder and then burning a DVD from there - this is progress and, fingers crossed, seems to be working...
    Any ideas?
    Cheers
    MC

    There is 7.3gb of data,
    Where are you getting this report?
    The iPhoto Window reports the size of the resulting folder if you exported the current version of everything in the Library.
    The actual iPhoto Library is much larger. It contains thumbnails, originals, database and cache files.
