Burning movies to a dvd

i cant get my downloaded movie,in iTunes, to burn to a dvd-r. I changed my preferences- advanced- burning to data or dvd, but it keeps telling me i need to insert a blank disc. The disc is blank and so i re-insert it and it "checks media" and then quits. I can't figure it out at all. I'd like to watch my movie on my tv, but things aren't looking so good

iTunes doesn't support what you are trying to do. First problem is that it won't let you. The other is that video files are not in a format compatible with playing in a DVD player anyway. If you get a docking station to plug into TV you could play the video on TV that way.

Burning mov file to DVD

I am trying to burn my mov file to DVD. It keeps telling me that there is not enough space on the DVD even though the DVD states that it has 1 hour for HQ, 2 hours for SP, 4 hours for LP. The sequence is about 90 minutes.

You will need to set encoding to VBR and the lower the bitrate until your content can fit onto an SL DVD or opt for a DL DVD. Where are you encoding? DVDSP or Compressor?

If so, do you have the divx codec installed?

You might also check out divx doctor, which will "fix" or convert the file to a .mov which can be easily used in idvd.

How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:

Burning movie to a dvd?

I just burned my quicktime move to a dvd, now how can I burn the same movie so it can play on a dvd player on my tv? Do I have to convert it?

Not sure what you're asking
Are you saying the DVD you burned doesn't play on your TV? If not, how did you encode/burn it, using what software?
To create a standard DVD than can be played on set top players, first export your movie using Quicktime Movie. Then you could use Roxio Toast or iDVD to make your DVD
Perhaps you created a data file with your Quicktime movie, not too sure. You have to encode it to MPEG2 first, using the above methods

Vixia HF R500 camcorder burning movies to a DVD

I have copied movies from the memory card to my computer and burned the movies to a DVD from the computer but my DVD player can't read the disc. The movies are still on the memory card and I don't want to erase them until I have a hard copy in my hands that we can watch. These movies are of the first few days of our first grandchilds life. The memory card is a 32 GB SanDisc Ultra Plus. The movies are recorded in the AVCHD video format. The disc plays in my computer but not in my Memorex player or our Wii player that we can watch on our TV. Help - I am only somewhat computer literate and zero camcorder literate.

Hi Bo21!
It is likely that the format or configuration you used when you created the disc is not supported by your player. You may want to contact Memorex and the software vendor to make sure you have each configured so the disc you create with the software is supported by the player.

Burning movies on to dvd cds....

i understand the late 2007 white macbook comes with dvd burner. I downloaded a couple of movies and was looking to burn them on a dvd cd to enjoy it on my tv. can someone tell me what kind of program i need to burn movies? thank you
and does dvd-r and dvd+r both work?
thank you

Depends on the model you have. Each generation of MacBook has had a low end model that does not come with a DVD burner. It comes with a combo drive and the low end models are all white. There are two white models of each generation a low end one and a middle tier one. The late 2007 that has a DVD drive is the 2.2 GHz. The one with the Combo drive is 2 GHz.

Burning .mov file to dvd via IDVD

I created a slide show to music on IMovie. Playing the .mov file through my computer and even projected on a big screen it looks great. But when converting it to a DVD via IDVD, the font on the couple of lines of text that I have coming up with the pictures is pixilated and really horrible. I tried a couple of different burns and always choose best quality but the results remain the same. The dvd created through IDVD is horrible with really badly pixilated edges on the fonts. How can I burn DVD's so that they look as good as they do playing directly from my .mov file so that I can burn copies for others who have requested my music slide show? I am working with a brand new MacBook Pro computer and the IMovie and IDVD programs that came with it, if that helps at all.

Hi,
The info helps explain what's happening -- the 1080p version is widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) and physically large (1920 pixels wide and 1080 pixels tall), and much more compressed than the DVCPRO50 version (the 1080p file is less than half the size even though it's more than twice the screen space). So, iDVD would have a difficult time crushing that down into the standard DVD video dimensions.
The DVCPRO50 version is also widescreen, so you want to be sure your iDVD preference is set to 16:9 aspect ratio (if not, start a new project and re-import).
iDVD also has to crush this version to make it fit the standard 720x480 format, but not as much as the 1080p version. Text can particularly suffer when video dimensions are altered.
Is your iMovie version gone or just won't open?
I'd be inclined to experiment with a copy of the DVCPRO50 version. Try the free MPEG Streamclip to see if it can resize the video to 720x480 before bringing it into a 16:9 iDVD project. Next try using Streamclip to convert the format to DV (DV Stream or .dv) to see if that format change makes iDVD happier.

Problems Burning in Disc in Encore CS4

Hello all,
I just recently upgraded to Adobe Encore CS4 and I'm trying to burn a blu-ray disc but the program is giving me problems.
All of my video assets are .m2v movie clips, which includes the motion menus I am using, compressed to that format in Sorenson Squeeze.
The first time I tried to burn the disc I received an error before it even started to render the menus. The error was Src\VideoFrameManipulators.cpp-563. I did some searching and decided to import the quicktime movies of the menus and use the quicktimes instead of .m2v files. When I tried to build the project again it got through rendering almost all the menus and then I received this error message Src\pp\\PPixHandleUtilities.cpp-114].
After that I tried transcoding each menu video separaretly and that did work, I got the same PPixHandleUtilities error again. I tried re-importing the files, relinking the files, etc, nothing is working. I'm at a loss.
I have burned a blu-ray disc already so I don't think it is the drive.
I'm running Windows Vista Business 64-bit as the operating system.
Any thoughts?
Kristin

I too am having problems burning data disks to dvd. While it appeared to burn without problems. It took over an hour sometimes 2 or 3 to burn the dvd which upon completion was not recognized in either my Dell or my Mac. I hooked up my external drive where my music is kept to my Mac and it appears to have burnt correctly readable by both machines and took about ten minutes to burn each dvd. So it appears the Windows version is majorly screwed.

I am having trouble burning CD's and DVD's. Get the following message: error code 0x8002006E. Can any body help ?

Problems burning a DVD Movie/Warning Message

#1...I had no problem at all downloading a movie from my camcorder, editing, making chapters,,but when I tried to burn a DVD, it showed a Warning Message: "There were warnings dring the project validation. It is recommended to fix these problems before burning."
Does Anyone Know how to Fix the problems? I am Clueless and no help with the help files. My system is about 6 years old, could be it's not fit to burn DVD's..
I am needing to learn to do these DVD's, I want to make more.
I have had to have a friend burn some for me.
Now, next question:
How do I network two computers together so I can transfer files, movies etc... My brother has a New iMac, Fancy New one with all kind of good stuff... I know he has iLife06..
I believe his has a DVD burner...
How fast does a DVD burner work on one DVD, if the Movie is about 85 minutes long.
What equipment or tools does one need to hook up two computers together?
thank you,
sue

hi newsue:
First, read this Apple Article regarding your error. You may not need to transfer anything:

How do I burn a .mov file to DVD?

I need to burn an MPEG-2 video file saved as .mov to a DVD that will play in a regular DVD player.
I have tried opening iDVD and the selecting 'Create a New Project'. When I have selected a location for the project and the main window opens, I go to File > OneStep DVD from Movie...
My understanding is that when I import a movie file, it will burn it straight to the disc without any further options. It does this, however after a couple of minutes the DVD is ejected blank and iDVD says the burn has completed.
How can I solve this problem or is there another way to burn a .mov file to DVD?
Thanks, Dan

A green screen in an indication that the movie is in a format not supported by iDVD. It should be in one of these formats: DV, high-definition video (HDV), MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-4 SD, MPEG-4 HD, and AVCHD. (From SDMacUser's post in What input file formats does iDVD...: Apple Support Communities). The post has other requirements that need to be met.
SD = standard definition.
Open your movie with QT Player and bring up the Info window for the movie. It will have the format:
Another possible reason is the Energy Saving settings on the Mac. Turn off energy saving and screen saver before starting the save as disk image or burn.

I’m going to get the I Mac and since the new I Mac doesn’t have DVD drive on it I was thinking to get the Samsung SE-506AB Slim Portable Blu-ray Writer in order to burn movies from I movie do I need a special software for that since the SE-506ab comes only with windows software.. but I did check and it is compatible with apple. Can you please advise me and or let me know if I’m buying the right stuff or if there is any other blu ray that will work with the I mac as plug and play.
Thank you

This freezing reminds me of really old Macs, long ago, in the days of the old-school peripherals like SCSI drives, terminators, scanners and the like. If you had a SCSI conflict, like the wrong device ID's or something, you'd freeze up like that. Back in those days you'd call 800-SOS-APPLE (AAPL?) and they'd run you through disconnecting all your extra hardware - Jaz and Zip drives, CD burners, scanners etc and then eliminate them one by one by adding them incrementally and testing for the freeze/bomb dialog.
But, today we have Firewire and none of those ancient issues (no free lifetime tech support either). My iMac's ports are all full, and I only know which devices are connected when I have to remove something for another device. iSight, scanner, card reader, external hard drive, USB soundsticks, etc. You wouldn't happen to have any SCSI devices hooked up, would you?
Out of curiosity, have you tried a different USB/Firewire port for the hard drive? Or run the hardware test DVD that comes with your computer? This weird freezing seems to suggest a problem with the computer, RAM or network more than a device. Bad devices, in my experience, cause kernel panics, not freezing.
