Playback quality poor when burning files to DVD

I am burning quicktime files to a DVD. (I want to keep them as quicktime files so the recipients of the DVD's can manipulate the files if needed.)
After burning the file (2.81 GB) to a DVD-R (4.7 GB capacity) The playback of the burned DVD file is odd. It seems to have all the information (video and audio) But it will freeze on the first video frame while the audio keeps going. Not sure why this is happening.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to prevent this? OR, possibly a different file format to use? I don't want the files in a an iDVD menu because then you can't extract the files and manipulate them with ease.
If anyone can help... THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE

I'm thinking you burned the dvd as a data dvd.
Your mac can't keep up with a video that is burned as a data dvd. You need to copy the DVD content to your hard drive to be able to play the video with no problems.

Including Captions When Burning Files

Photoshop Elements 7 - when burning files to CD/DVD, what setting is needed so that the captions are included?? Tried, under File, Make CD/DVD and also Copy - neither included the captions....

1) The captions were entered at the bottom of the file display where the blank captions box is displayed. All the captions in question were entered in Photoshop Album 2 which was later converted to PSE 3 and that was converted to PSE 7. None of the captions in question was entered in PSE 7.
2) I tried displaying the photos in Windows by clicking on the drive which then allowed them to be displayed in file name sequence.
3) The version is PSE 7 on a PC using Windows 7 Professional.
4) The recipient of the files will probably not print the photos from the CD/DVD but if they do printing the captions wouldn't be an issue.

Burn Files in DVD

Hello guys,
Which APP should I use to burn files in DVD in Lion native ?
Thanks

Depends on what you are burning and how you expect to use the DVD.
If you're just copying data files to the DVD then using a burn folder in Finder is fine. If you're making a video DVD that you want to be able to play in a regular DVD plaver you will need video authoring software.

Elements 9 Projects plays fine on computer however when burned to a DVD it drops the last part

Hello,
this is my first post and first Question ever on Adobe site. I hope thatt someone can help. I have used Elemenys 3.0 for a number of
years. I have now upgraded to Elements 9. I am having an odd problem with a project that I am working on. Everything seems to be OK on the EDIT
and on the DVD PREVIEW mode ; However when burned to a DVD, I am loosing the last part of the project, and the laat scene button does not take me to the correct scene, It takes me to the one just BRFORE it. When the burning process is done, it shows that it all went well. No error messages. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what is causing this?

hi photonutguy,
Since your question is about burning your video to a DVD disc, it is actually an Adobe Premiere Elements question. This forum is specifically about Photoshop Elements and is frequented by people who use Adobe Photoshop Elements for their photos.
there is a separate forum for Adobe Premiere elements where you will find the people knowledgeable in the video process for burning that DVD with menus at
http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements
So I recommend that you post your question at that Premiere Elements forum .

Very Poor Quality when burning to regular DVD

Can somebody tell me why when i burn to regular dvd the quality looks like a vhs video which is out of focus ? When i burn to blu ray its crystal clear !! I dont expect great great quality but i would expect something that is watchable !!

Well if you are working with Premiere Elements 10 or above and want high Blue ray Quality content on DVD discs, then you have got the option of AVCHD disks in Share->Disc->AVCHD.
But due to high bit rate, the amount of content that can be burnt on to AVCHD disks is much lesser than on to DVD disks.
You can change the bit rate and increase the amount of content that can be burnt(but that will once again start diminshing quality)
You will have to manage this quality-size tradeoff.

How can I avoid video quality loss when burning Canon FS100 footage to DVD?

When I put the footage onto iMovie it looked great, and then I sent it to iDVD to burn onto a disc. After I burned it to a DVD and watched it on my DVD player, I noticed that I lost a lot of the video quality (or at least it seemed). It looks a little fuzzy and seems like it could be much better considering how great it looks in iMovie. Is it just me or does sending it to iDVD make me lose video quality? What is another alternative so I don't lose the quality? I've heard that Wondershare is a good option and that you won't lose any quality burning it from there, is that true? What is my best alternative? A relatively expensive DVD burner? Thanks, any help is appreciated.

A good suggestion was made before me, but I have another twist on the matter.
From Wikipedia on DVD: "Although many resolutions and formats are supported, most consumer DVD Video discs use either 4:3 or anamorphic 16:9 aspect ratio MPEG-2 video, stored at a resolution of 720×480 (NTSC) or 720×576 (PAL) at 29.97, 25, or 23.976 FPS."
Notice that the resolution for a DVD is roughly 700x500, which when multiplied gives you 350,000 pixels per frame. Now compare that with the video resolution of the FS100, which I see on web pages (eg, on dabs.com) is 710,000 pixels per frame.
This means your camera records more quality than can fit on a DVD. Approximately twice as much information. This means half the information is lost during the conversion. That's why you notice a drop in quality. If you burned to a BluRay disk, you'd probably lose nothing, since they store more information per frame. So your alternative is to buy a BluRay burner and play it back on a BluRay drive.
Another alternative is to burn it to a DVD but not in a form that's playable by a DVD, just in a form thats readable and playable by a computer. You will lose no information that way, but it will be playable only in a computer.

Poor quality video when I make a DVD

Hi,
I've been very disapointed when making DVDs from HD footage. I create a sequence in Premiere Pro CS5 and use the Dymnaic Link software to bring that sequence into Encore with out rendering it. The sharpness and clarity are fine on the original footage but as soon as I make it into a DVD the output is always less sharp and less defined. Now I understand it is reduced in definition when rendered for the DVD but if I buy a DVD and play it on a 65 inch high def TV it is almost as clear as a blue ray. The stuff I make doesn't even look good on a 25 inch TV:(.
Can any one help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?
thanx,
Mel

What are the recommended settings in Sorenson Squeeze 6.5 for making transcoded files for Encore CS 5 SD DVDs? Is this a good work around to the problem in this thread?
Also, anyone know why Squeeze has gone through multiple versions without being able to fix its Blu Ray encoding. A technician told me it was something to do with Encore, but that was it....

Any Way Of Removing Bad Panning Judder When Burning HDV to DVD ?

I have tested this many times and haven't found a cure using iDVD.
When I make a DVD from HDV footage I get very bad judder on vertical lines (lamp-posts, window frames etc.) whenever the camera pans, even extremely slowly.
I also get judder from people walking slowly across the frame.
This happens whenever I Export>QT Movie in FCP and burn in iDVD (using any of the 3 quality settings).
The only cure I have found is to Export>Using Compressor and then burn the DVD in either DVDSP or Toast.
Unfortunately the MPEG2 files can't be used in iDVD.
For various reasons I would, if possible, prefer to use iDVD.
Has anyone come across this HDV problem and found a way of eradicating it in iDVD ?
It would appear that the QT Movie is the weak link causing the problem.

The problem only occurs in iDVD (and Toast) when the encoding is to DV-PAL, HDV
Keep in mind I don't work with PAL at all nor do I own an HD camcorder yet.
But I've seen this same situation before on this forum when working with PAL only.....

Can't burn files onto DVD

I have a Pioneer DVD Drive and when I try to burn files onto the DVD, it goes through the process of burning the files ( I can see the little progress bar ), but the files do not end up on the disk. One disk worked, and I saw that the burn process was verifying the information, but since then I can't get it to work - I have tried several disks.
Is there any brand of DVD that is better than others ? I am new to Mac, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

DVD media is limited to about 19 minutes of DV Stream format.
If your Project is under that limit and still won't "fit" try exporting to Full Quality QuickTime file (.dv) and use the Finder to burn the disc or break your Project into multiple "parts".

Burn files onto DVD

Can someone explain how to burn files onto a blank DVD, please? I have iMac with Lion and DVD-RW. When I insert the DVD, no icon appears on my desktop. If I go into the disk utility, the disk shows up there. Then I click BURN, and a window opens up for me to select files. But all the files are grayed out and non-functional. What am I doing wrong?

Burning files to DVD

Hi, i have been trying to burn a 850 mb quicktime file and a couple of jpegs to dvd in my super drive. have created disk image and burnt disk all appears good except there is nothing on the dvd . have used both .cdr and .dmg images still same result.(
am able to burn movies from iDVD ok.
help appreciated

Ok, first of all, the amount of data you can burn on a DVD is not exactly 4.7 gb, is less than that, but i dont remember right now how much it is, i make images of 4.44 but, you dont have to complicate things that much, thanks to the simplicity of the OSX, all you got to do is insert the dvd, then the system asks you (if that option is set on the cd & dvd preference pane) what to do with it, then you pick the use in finder option and the image is created, then you copy your things to the image on the desktop, when you finish, simply put the image on the trash (wich look now like a burn icon) and "voila" you got a perfect DVD.
As you see, it just works.
Let me know if you got a question, ill be here.
Good luck.

Help With Burning files to DVD

I'm having trouble doing something that should be ridiculously easy. I'm trying to burn files to a blank DVD RW. I've created a burn folder in finder. The folder has lots of duplicates, which causes the size of the burn folder to exceed the size of the DVD. I tried to delete the duplicate files from the burn folder. I get that low pitched 'bonk' noise that the Mac OS gives you when it won't allow an operation.
How do I delete duplicate files from the burn file?
thanks,
Dan

(What you're describing works as would be expected on local test systems and no "plonk" noise, so...) issue a Get Info on the burn folder and then the (links to the) files within, and see if the protections are blocking delete access. Also select the file, and then see if the Control-Click popup menu gets you anywhere.

Optical drive vibrates when burning files

When I burn a dvd or cd in my optical drive (DVD R/W) the whole drive vibrates so hard that I have to clamp it in place with my hand. Sometimes it will not burn the items selected and sometimes it does. I have ourchased a new (used) dvd optical R/W drive and replaced the opiginal one, but it does the same thing. The drive feels as though it is a sloppy fit in the bay, but there are no adjustments I can see to make the fit better.
Is this a common issue with the Pavilion G6, Win 7, or is there some software fix?
Thanks for any help.

Nothing to care its normal when writing CD/DVD notebook will rotate Disk with high speed due to this optical drive vibrates while burning files.
No more action needed

Exported QTmovie doesn't play properly when burned on a DVD AS a QT movie!

I exported my video using export>QT movie and "saved" on my desktop. Its 5 minutes and 1.1GB. When I drag from my desktop to my QT movie applicatoin, it plays perfectly. HOWEVER, if I take that same movie and burn to a DVD as a QT movie for others to just play using their QT players, the movie on the DVD starts and then the video stalls and then starts and stalls etc. I tried seveal times and even used different computers to try it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Skip

dvd drive can only read so much data per second. data is terms of bytes, mega, giga, tera etc. the rate at which data is exchanged is referred to as the bit rate. doing crude math one can determine the bit rate of your video or you can right-click the file get info and see the bit rate. It's not the entire size of the file it's the amount of data that is transferred per second.

Aliasing When Burning 16:9 DVDs

for weeks, i've been trying to improve my HD to SD conversion. the MPEG2 always looked great on my computer monitor, but i saw aliasing and jaggies on my television when i watched the DVD. i now think i've discovered that my downconversion is fine, but it's the 16:9 aspect ratio that is making my DVD look bad.
on a hunch, i created a "matted" 4:3 version of my HD timeline, and burned a 4:3 DVD (with black bars on top and bottom embedded in the video), and it looks great! but why is that? i've tried multiple TVs and multiple DVD players, and every anamorphic DVD has jaggies on the text and angles...but when i burn a matted 4:3 of the same timeline, it looks perfect. any ideas?

No, that is not the way it should work. This may help:
