"protected MPEG-4 movie" won't burn to disk

I am realizing I have a lot to learn about movies as I move to mac (which made it possible for me to do movies...). Anyway, I have imported all my movies to iPhoto, deleted the originals (to some extent may have backups) and am moving to Aperture.
I had a sort of bas tard mix of .mov, mp4, wwf (/still/ can't figure out how to convert these...) and I just sort of imported what I could into iMovie and then imported what I could into Aperture. I /exported/ some from iPhoto and I am trying to burn them to a disk. They are 41KB, 16 KB, 29KB, 29 KB and 459 KB. I am getting an error that says there is not enough room on the DVD and I noticed three of them are described as "protected MPEG-4 movie" (the other two are Quicktime movie.
Is there a way to solve this and burn them to disk?
Thanks.

They are 41KB, 16 KB, 29KB, 29 KB and 459 KB.
Are you sure that's KB and not MB? those are awfully small files for movie files.
Where did you get these movies? How are you burning them to disk? If it's from iPhoto you will need to export them to a folder on the Desktop first as Format=Original. Then burn that folder of movie files to disk with the Finder.

  • Protected MPEG-4 movie

    I have a catalog of personal M4V/H.264 files and have "set all" these types of files to open in Quicktime X because I find the default iTunes extremely annoying.
    QuickTime seems to think that all M4V files are copy protected content and writes "Protected MPEG-4 movie" as the file type unilaterally.
    What's going on with this? The UTI declaration is wrong. Will this in any way affect/block the use of these files in other applications or using externally? Not sure - what exactly does being labeled as "protected" do? (Something looming for iOS?)
    Alternatively if one sets M4V files to open in iTunes, they are not seen as protected file types.
    hmmm

    Something is not right. An M4V should not be assumed to be protected content.
    Correct. However, problem seems to limited to your system. I have no problems playing files generated using the same work flow in both QT 7 and QT X on Snow Leopard platform or QT 7 on older PPC G5 under Leopard. Both are running under latest respective versions of the OS.
    If you have a spare external drive, I would recommend creating a "pristine" minimal start-up system and try the same files while booted from that drive. If they work properly, then the problem is likely a corrupted main system or embedded QT structure in the main OS. If files are still bad, I would install HandBrake on the external start-up drive and make a few test files to eliminate the possibility that the files themselves were somehow corrupted during creation but this seems less likely here since the files "can" play correctly with modified extension.
    Using the "Save As... Movie" (QT X) or "Save As..." (QT 7 Pro) option will copy the M4V file data to a "real" MOV file container (i.e. internals will match extension) or the "Save As..." option in MPEG Streamclip can copy the M4V data to a "real" MP4 file container. This would be a temporary workaround if you want your original data in properly headed containers that avoid your current problem (based on what you said about changing the file extension), but does not really address the real problem here. (Am assuming the files do not contain extraneous data tracks that MPEG Streamclip would filter out during the copy and that you have not mismatched the Snow Leopard embedded QT structure with the wrong QT X Player app.)
    In any case, once the problem is isolated, I expect you should be able to fix it.

  • Suddenly iDVD won't burn a disk

    I use iDVD a lot. I'm a pro photographer and I love it for showing off work to clients.
    I have a disk that I definitely, absolutely ned to get out of the door today and for the first time ever I hav problems with it. The burn gets all the way to the end (about an hour or so) and I get an error that the burn has failed with errors. (It's -34506 - it's supposed to point to an Applescript error).
    The disk is a slideshow from iPhoto + a folder of slideshows just created in iDVD. All of them preview correctly. I can burn other disks and if I drop the iPhoto slideshow then I can burn the disk (but I really need the iPhoto slideshow!).
    So far I have tried:
    switching to save image rather than a real burn
    reducing quality (to best perfomance - this burns but the quality is terrible - I need best quality)
    trashing the preference file
    rebuilding the slideshow in iPhoto including reimporting all the pics
    changing the theme
    I have run software update a couple of times to bring everything up to date. iDVD is version 5.01.
    Project duration is just over 28 minutes. Size is 0.8 GB. 5 tracks, 2 menus, 44 seconds of motion menus.
    Plenty of free disk space (93 GB on boot drive, 500 GB on all drives - really).
    HELP!!!!!!!

    Thanks Len.
    Sorry - should have posted back that I worked round this a couple of hours ago.
    I narrowed it down to one of 130 jpegs (or more than one - I just know there was something freaky in there). They were all edited files that originated on a D2X and were edited in Photoshop CS2 and all of them opened successfully in a bunch of applications.
    Anyway I wrote a PS action that reduced the size of each a little and resaved it. This should make sure that every byte of the file was rewritten. Reimport to iPhoto and rebuild the slideshow. Export to iDVD and burn - and it worked!
    Did a search on 34506 and it really looks to me that there is some kind of lurking bug deep in iLife - when an app finds a file it doesn't like it chokes the whole system. What's weird is that the crash isn't in an app that's processing the file directly. I rendered the jpegs into an avi with Fotomajico. This worked fine and the avi played beautifully but iDVD crashed when trying to burn it.
    I guess one day there will be an iDVD update and this error will majically go away.....

  • IDVD won't burn a disk successfully

    I have iDVD '08 on my iMac G4. I tried a number of times to burn a disk with an iDVD project. At first it at least bruned the disk, however, the audio and video came out choppy on the DVD when I played it from my DVD player on my TV. I then used Disk Utility to burn an .img file to the dvd disk. That didn't work. The disk was unreadable in the DVD player. I also bought Toast 8 to burn the .img to the DVD disk. That didn't work either. The disk is unreadable in the DVD player. I went back to burning the disk from iDVD 08 and now I am getting formating errors. Could it be that iDVD 08 just doesn't work with my G4 iMac? Any ideas? (My .img file is about 270MBs.)

    I have the same problem and I have not been able to resolve it. I get an error message that says that there was a problem during the rendering process. This is the first time I've tried burning a DVD since I upgraded to iDVD 08. Always worked with the previous version. I, too, am using Verbatim DVD-R.
    Thanks.

  • Movie won't burn, export or compress - 'cause it contains AVI files?

    Please help, I'm getting errors and other bad news hours into a burn which is an hour long i-movie project but features AVI clips taken on a snapshot camera - could this be the problem, and if so - how come i-DVD has a problem with it but i-movie accepts the files okay?
    For big i-movie projects I often make the i-movie in two or three separate chunks and compress the second and third parts as Quicktime files and add them as huge clips at the end of the original i-movie file. I have not had major problems with this before.
    I tried exporting the movie back into the camera onto DV cassette and on the flip out screen on the camera there was sound but no picture.
    I tried converting the AVI files using Visualhub only to find that the AVI files nestled amongst the DV clips in the imovie project had the DV affix anyway when dragged onto my desktop.
    It would be really great to get this solved.

    You are posting in the iMovie 6 discussion, so I am assuming you are using that version. iMovie 6 requires that the video be in .dv format to play properly. As you have found, avi is more of a container for video that can be in a variety of formats.
    Do the video clips play in your iMovie? If they are not compatible with iMovie, you may see them and the video may play, but not the audio. If the clips play fine, then the problem is not the clips, nor iMovie. If they do not play with proper sound, you will need to convert them to DV format. You can use MPEG Streamclip for this if Visual Hub did not work.
    You can try exporting your iMovie as Full Quality Quick Time to your desktop (if you have enough drive space). Then, open a new iMovie project and import this newly created quicktime movie.
    Now, open iDVD, create a new project and drop this new iMovie project into it. That should burn fine.
    Be sure to use a quality brand DVD-R disk, Verbatim, Maxell, or Taio Yuden. Burn at a slower speed, 4x or less.

  • Idvd won't burn dual layer movies

    Hi. Can someone help me figure out how to make my idvd burn dual layerd movies? I've done everything the same as I always have and it still won't do it. Do I need to buy something other than Sony discs? I'm at my whits end. Any ideas out there?

    what is a screen shot?
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_shot>
    Read the intro and the Mac OS X section. When you compose a post, you may add a screen shot by clicking the camera button and following the instructions.
    Under the cricumstances, I think it's better to start a little further back.
    Quit all apps and restart the Mac.
    After you've logged back in, first check how much free disk space you have. In Finder, select your hard disk and choose File > Get Info. Look at the General section (if it's not expanded, click the disclosure triangle to the left of the word "General". Check the figure for "Available". If it's not al least 12GB, you need to clear up disk space. You should have at least 12GB free disk space to proceed. (This is not a carved-in-stone figure, but something that should keep you on the safe side. More is better; but there's no need to exaggerate.)
    Next, let's check the drive. Press the Option (⌥) key and click the Apple () menu. The first item on the menu should be "System Profiler…" When System Profiler is up and running, under "Contents" you should see the line "Hardware". If it's not expanded, click the disclosure triangle to the left of the word "Hardware". A few lines down, you should see "Disk Burning". Click on it. You should get the details of your DVD drive. "Burn support" should say "Yes"; "DVD-Write" should say "-R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW". If all that is correct, quit System Profiler.
    Next, start iDVD. If no project is available, it should show the opening dialogue.
    Click on Magic iDVD. In the Magic window, type a short name for "DVD Title". Let's say, Test.
    Drag your movie to the "Drop Movies Here" strip.
    On the bottom right there are two buttons, "Create Project" and "Burn". Click the "Create Project" button. iDVD should generate and save the project. The Project window should appear.
    Choose "Project Info…" from the Project menu. Check the choice for "DVD Type". It should be "Double-Layer (DL) - 7.7GB". If it isn't, make it so. Close the Project Info window.
    Now choose File > Burn DVD… Make sure the DVD you insert is indeed a DL (it should be marked as such, and the label should say something like "8.5GB data").
    If it fails as before, you should return to the project window. This time, choose File > Save as Disc Image… Save it to a convenient location.
    Open Disk Utility. Choose Images > Burn…, select the image saved in the previous step, and try to burn it. If it works, then the problem is with iDVD. (Keep in mind that a DL disc burned with Disk Utility may not work or may cause problems in a DVD player. This is only a test to try to isolate the problem.)
    If it doesn't work with Disk Utility either, then the problem is with the drive or the disc. Reset the SMC and try again.

    <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964>
    If it still doesn't work, try a different brand of discs, from a different manufacturer (and preferably manufactured in a different country).
    If several brands of discs fail, then the problem is likely with the drive. Get a lens cleaning disc and use it to clean the drive. If that still doesn't solve the problem, then it's probable that the drive is damaged and should be replaced. If the drive is old (4–5 years) the likelihood that it's damaged increases.

  • My 3 year old MacBook Pro, with OS 10.7.1, won't play movie DVDs I burned on Panther. Why?

    My 3 year old MacBook Pro, with OS 10.7.1, won't play movie DVDs I burned on Panther.
    Why?

    But to answer your question, you might be able to create a ISO of the DVD and burn that to a new DVD.
    Insert your DVD.
    Open /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app.
    In the left side of the window, select the “DVD”.
    Click “New Image” from the Disk Utility toolbar and select where you want to save the temporary image. For “Image Format”, choose “DVD/CD master” and for “Encryption”, choose “none”.
    The image extension in the “Save As” box will be .cdr (this is what you want) — click “Save”.
    Once the temporary image is created, it will show up on the left side of the Disk Utility window. Select it.
    Insert a blank DVD (I prefer Verbatim discs).
    Click “Burn” from the Disk Utility toolbar.
    Another problem could be that you burned the DVD using a codec that your new machine doesn't have.
    Install Perian, VLC and Flip4Mac, that combination will play anything.
    Also install Flash for web content and Silverlight for Netflix.

  • Really hard to beleive but a new imac won't burn home movies on DVD?

    Hi bite the bullet and bought a brand new imac (paid two times the price of a really nice PC) in hopes of owning a computer that would solve all my PC issues. Now that I have it at home I down loaded my family snow board trip from my camera and found out that it won't burn it to a DVD. What? Called tech support and yes it is true imac won't burn a DVD unless you buy ilife $49 and install it. Even the cheapest PC will burn a DVD this is really disappionting.I did see some free third party software and thought about trying it but I really hate to risk adding unauthorized software to my brand new computer. Is there hope on the way in the form of free update or is this what I get? Other than this I have enjoyed using it but this is really a major deficiency and a real disappointment.

    I purchased the iLife 11 retail disk (I've seen it for as little as $25 at Amazon) because, in my opinion, there is no equivalent for iDVD's capabilities of adding pzazz to customizable menus/themes - taking your efforts from amateur to professional looking presentations.
    And, it is somewhat disappointing since iMovie still has a link to send your movie to iDVD and the idea of being able to produce movies including making DVDs is now being "replaced" by trying to get you to post all your content online (in the cloud). For anyone concerned with their privacy, that is not an option; neither is it for people who may not even have a computer, but would love to be able to see the event they participated in on their TV.
    I'd buy the iLife suite and also send feedback to Apple:

  • Won't Burn. Error While Multiplexing. I've tried everything. Please help.

    I've seen this topic all over the boards. I have iDVD6 and my project won't burn because, after a couple of hours of asset encoding et. al., I get a message saying that there were errors while multiplexing. Here's what it's not:
    1) It's not that I have chapter markers in bad places. I followed the rules. Then I eliminated all the chapter markers.
    2) It's not that the sound is Mpeg. It's properly formatted.
    3) It's not too long. I get the same problem with a 60 second version of the movie. And I have plenty of space on my hard drive.
    Here's what I thought it was:
    1) The film was created with three cameras, at least one of which was using 12 bit sound and set on LP, two problems I've learned that iDVD doesn't like. However, to solve this problem I did the following:
    a) I created a full quality Quicktime Movie
    b) I imported that full quality Quicktime Movie into a new iMovie project.
    c) I exported the movie back onto my video camera, with the camera set for 16 bit sound, and LP.
    d) I opened a new iMovie project and imported the new, edited, film back onto my computer.
    e) But when I tried importing it into iDVD6 I got the exact same message about the multiplexing error.
    It doesn't seem possible that I cannot use iDVD to burn my project. Any thoughts?
    (I don't have toast, and I don't know any other editing programs. I want to use iDVD and iMovie. That's what I paid for and they should work. I assume that since this problem is all over the Forum boards that there may be a bug in the program. Has anyone heard about a patch?)
    Thank you to all who resond. Much appreciated.

    Charlie,
    Tell us about the computer you're using. See my specs below for guidance.
    As John said, make a disk image and then burn the DVD.
    Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save As Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
    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.)
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93006
    2) It's not that the sound is Mpeg. It's properly formatted.
    What does "properly formatted" mean?
    at least one of which was using 12 bit sound and set on LP, two problems I've learned that iDVD doesn't like.
    As you've learned, that makes iDVD VERY unhappy.
    e) But when I tried importing it into iDVD6 I got the exact same message about the multiplexing error.
    You got the multiplexing error when importing into iDVD??? Or do you mean when encoding/burning direct to a DVD-R (not DVD+R or any other format)?

  • TS1424 What's the difference between "protected mpeg 4" and "mpeg 4"?

    I recently downloaded a tv series and can only view episodes labelled "protected mpeg-4".  Those labelled "mpeg-4" are unplayable.  Error message "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes" appears.  We have the latest version of itunes, and if I open quick player on my mac I can play the mpeg 4's. They just won't work through itunes, which means I'm unable to play them (as far as I know) on the ipod/pad.  Can anyone help please?

    Thanks, if I put a logic board from one iPhone 4 on gsm in to an iPhone 4 CDMA would it work ? Thanks

  • Using Apple TV for first time - to rent a movie.  Logged in successfully - billing info updated.  Keep getting message to log into Itunes on PC - movie won't load on TV

    using Apple TV for first time - to rent a movie.  Logged in successfully - billing info updated.  Keep getting message to log into Itunes on PC - movie won't load on TV -
    any advice?

    3GB for a movie? That's almost equivalent to an original DVD. 
    Have you checked in the Recently Added playlist?
    I think this is possibly linear.  Select 'normal' in HB, iTunes accepts it; select 'high quality' in HB iTunes doesn't.  I can't say why; I don't have any video that anywhere approaches 3GB in size.  If that's how iTunes behaves I don't see you have too many options.  You either select normal and it works, or you select HQ and live with playing the movie outside of iTunes.
    I won't ask what movie because any help with illegally ripped copy protected DVDs is strictly prohibited by the Terms of Use so I'm assuming this is a 6 hour video of your puppy playing on the floor.

  • ITunes Error: Cannot play bought iTunes movie from one day to the other "The selected movie won't play on your display."

    Hi,
    just a few weeks ago I watched on my new iMac 5k Retina a long-ago-downloaded movie (iTunes content, HD, Billy Joel. Live at Shea Stadium). I had no issues watching it on the new wonderful display just a few weeks ago!
    Today I wanted to resume the video and got the error "The selected movie won’t play on your display. This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).".
    Actually the movie plays for a few seconds and then the movie window gets black and the error message appears. Restarting iTunes does not help. Restarting the Mac also not.
    How can this be fixed?
    Additionally I get since I moved from my old iMac to the new one the iTunes error "Do you want the application “iTunes.app” to accept incoming network connections?" every time I start iTunes.

  • Won't burn disk

    Hi,
    I have iDVD 6 and have made a small 11 minute movie in iMovie HD. It has a sound track, which is just the soundtrack from the digital tape. I added a few sound effects. I go to "share" in iMovie, and have it sent to iDVD...everything works great, it starts to burn the disk, then goes all the way through and gets hung up on "processing audio", and just won't do anything else. The disk never gets burned. I have tried restarting. I have tried starting with iDVD and not going through iMovie first. Nothing works. It hangs every time. What can I do...this is really frustrating!! Thanks.

    ...I let it set overnight and it got the job
    done. Pretty goofy software, though, that takes that
    long to encode an audio track. I think they need to
    fix that.
    ... or perhaps you need a new, faster computer. Creating DVDs requires a lot of computer 'horsepower'!
    Remember the saying: 'good, fast, cheap - you can have any TWO'.

    I'm having a similar problem, but without any error message at all.
    I have a number of audio files that I created myself using garage band.  These were converted by Quicktime to .mov audio files and loaded into my iTunes library.  Before I upgraded to Snow Leopard, I was able to burn audio cds from playlists containing these audio files with absolutely no problems.
    After upgrading to Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.8) my software update told me that I also needed to update my iTunes.  What a mistake that was!
    Now, when I select a playlist and tell it to burn an audio cd, it asks me to insert a blank disc.  Then it looks like it's starting to prepare the disk image - at least for a couple seconds.  Then it just quits and goes back to the state it was in before I attempted the burn.  The cd is still inside the drive and the only way I can eject it is to quit iTunes.
    I might add that, since all these files are my own original creations, none of them are protected in any way, so there is no reason for iTunes not to allow them to be burned on as many cds that I want.
    I know my disc burner is working because I am able to burn audio disks using the 3rd party software called "Burn."
    The audio files are also OK, because I can play them in both iTunes and with Quicktime.
    I really hope someone has an answer for this.  I need to burn a lot of CDs.  My church choir members use them to practice their singing parts.  The "Burn" application I am now forced to use works, but it is very awkward to use.  I wish I had never "upgraded" my system.  I GUESS IT REALLY WAS A DOWNGRADE!
    Help!!!

    I just bought a 27" iMac with an intel core i5 processor.  Most programs and files have tranferred successfully.  The dimensions of the MPEG-4 movie files have been horizontally distorted.  What can I do to correct this problem and prevent the dimension distortion from occurring in the future.

    Hi landonw
    The HD will probably have to be removed from the MacBook Pro and connected to a USB adapter or placed in a dock to get your data off of it. I would take the MacBook Pro along, the folks at the Apple Store should be more than happy to help transfer your data to a new iMac.

    To protect your data in the future, pickup a USB External HD +(for under a $100)+ and use Time Machine.
