Hi Angus,
I've checked this out for you, I bought the series of Ugly Betty (each episode averages out at 500 mb )
Bizarrely, iTunes won't let you burn the episodes to disk - you get a message that this kind of file is not supported, or something like that. You can, however, make a burn folder in the finder and do it that way.
Strange that iTunes won't let you backup your purchases to disk when the finder will.
I just found this on the Apple support page -
(+How do I burn my purchased videos to CD or DVD?+
+You can burn back up copies of iTunes videos to a data CD or DVD. However, you cannot burn iTunes videos to a DVD for playback on your home entertainment DVD player.)+
Regards

HT5628 After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp "removed" the DVD drive!

After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp “removed” the DVD drive. I think there is an issue because I reinstalled Windows 8. If I don't install driver, then I have reduced functionality (no Apple keyboard, no sound etc), but once I install driver, I lose my DVD drive.

Hi, guys, I have had the exact same problem since the summer of 2010. Here's what I was able to find out.
Deleting upper/lower filters, running all those Fix Ya programs and other Microsoft crap is useless. This problem is most certainly has nothing to do with registry of any software on your computer. I took my HP 9620us to a couple of repair places and, they tried a lot of things and it appears that the root of this problem is a faulty motherboard connection. Of course, it costs about 400 bucks to fix it so I'm not sure I want to pay this kind of money.
Anyway, if somebody was able to fix it PLEASE post here to let us know. Again I am 99 per cent sure it's some piece of hardware in the motherboard.

How to show business dvd on ipad 4?

I have a business DVD that I now show from laptop or DVD player. How do I use iPad to show this DVD presentation?

You can't use an iPad to play a DVD disk directly. You'll need to convert the DVD to a format the iPad can play - if these are not copy-protected disks Handbrake works well and has a preset for the iPad - and then sync the video to the iPad through iTunes.

Equium P200D PSPBNE: device manager does not show the DVD-RW DVR-K17A ATA DVD/CD

Hello experts out there i need urgent help!!

I am running Vista Home and despite deleting the drive and trying to update the driver nothing seem's to work can anybody help i am getting to the point of throwing it out of the window.
Regards
Stephen

Hi dude
This issue is known to me it happened to me too
The problem is you Windows registry!!!
One registry entry is corrupt and therefore the CD/DVD ROM does not work as I should.
So what to do.
Firstly remove the driver from the device manager. Just simply delete it.
Then access the registry and and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Then reboot the notebook.

Can you import shows from DVDs???

I just got a new video ipod and instead of spending money on shows from the music store can I import shows from DVDs???

The ripping guide in the external link ought to work just fine, but the main reason I'm posting is to say that it would be quite unreasonable to use HandBrake to rip a DVD, especially with 2-pass encoding, if you care the slightest bit about the longevity of your optical drive. Before further experimentation, you might want to know that HandBrake also supports encoding from DVD folders and images, which can be extracted in a matter of minutes (not hours and even days) using other free software. And of course none of this will ever work with any DVDs except the ones you've made yourself and own the rights to. Pakko sanoa semmoista, voi vitsi.

Dowloading TV Shows from DVD's to Visio

Does anyone know how to dowload TV shows from DVD's to your Vision M? I have Windows Media Player . For two days I've been trying to save (rip) one of my favorite televison show DVD's and I just can't get it right.
Can I download the contents of the TV Show DVD directly to my Zen Vision M?
Thank you.......
P.S. I am definitely a novice computer user. (That's why I love the Zen so much..... It took me only about 20-25 minutes to load my pictures and music library when I first got the player.)Message Edited by MP3User on 08-3-2006 09:9 AM

The issue with DVD's is unique as its not really a matter of Fair use, but a matter of copyprotection and encryption.
Under fair use laws, yes you are allowed to take something you purchased and use it on another device.
But DVD's are protected from copying (and reading for that matter) by a digital encryption scheme.
Under the DMCA if you break the CSS copyprotection on a DVD to copy it, you are breaking the law. Untill a court overides the law in favor of the consumers (doubt that will happen), it is illegal to sell software or use software to copy a "protected" DVD.
http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-353_7-528652.htmlThe laws very significantly on this by country to country, to creative doesn't allow people to discuss how to copy DVD's at all here in the forums, because they don't want to run a foul of any other countries laws where they opperate.Search on DVD and DMCA on google and you will find quite a bit of information. There have been many court cases where software manufacturers have lost because they sold DVD Copying software that would copy CSS protected DVD. Am not aware of any cases where an individual has been convicted for copying DVD's for personal use. All I can say is proceed at your own risk. The link above lists which software packages are considered illegal and legal in the courts eyes.

Imac 24" dvd-drive doesnt show inserted DVDs randomly, only after reboot (?

hi
i am very aware of this problem as my powerbook G4 had the same issue,
although its not a big issue i am worring about.
when i insert a DVD sometimes, lets say a commercial Movie DVD, an older burned DVD from 2002 or 2005 or even 2006, my brand new imac 24" doesnt recognize the inserted DVD randomly, not every day, but on some days........
when i start harddisctoolkit, it doesnt show the dvd, too.
the drive spins a bit, then stays calm.
i use to reboot then, and surprise, its always there!
what is it please?
thanks

Burning slide show on DVD.

Have P E 5. Wish to create and display slide shows on HDTV. Have created a show, but just learned that my version cannot burn the show to DVD. Am I missing something? Are there other options? Does the latest version 10 have this feature?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Fred

No version of PSE has this function, since Adobe wants you to buy Premiere Elements.
If you have a dvd burner you must have some kind of software you can use for this, even if it's only windows movie maker. You may also have gotten something like Roxio. Check to see what you have on your computer already. Then just output your slideshow as a wmv file and use whatever it is to create the video disc.
However, note that PSE does not create HD output.

I saved an iMovie to DVD and now I can't find the original working files in iMovie Project library to make additional edits. What happened to the files? Thx!

Did you do the moving of the image file in the Finder or do you have a reference library as asked by Larry? In either case moving the files is a recipe for disaster as you've found out. You must either move the files back to their original locations or try to get those photos back into iPhoto as follows:
1 - Find the folder you moved the files into and COPY it to the Desktop.
2 - in iPhoto delete the photos that you're having the problems with as you normally would even though you can't see see them. Also delete all the photos that are in the folder you moved the other files into.
3 - drag the folder on the Desktop into iPhoto to import them as one event. If you get a duplicate warning I'd let it import the duplicate and use Duplicate Annihilator to find them so you can cull out the duplicate you don't want.
Other than that you might have to start over from scratch as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
1 - Move the existing library folder to the desktop
2 - Open the library package like this.
3 - Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4 - Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.

David,
Below is an extract from a discussion I had with others on forums who had your current dilemma. Adobe's answer is generally to use Adobe Premiere Elements to burn the DVD; if you have it installed there is a additional option to burn to DVD on that menu. However, you may have other choices.
If you have a DVD burner, want to make a PSE 3 or 4 slide show that plays on a TV DVD player, and do not have Premiere Elements:
- create a WMV file using DVD NTSC or DVD PAL (according to your country TV standards) as the OUTPUT parameters
- then read the doc that came with the software that supports your DVD burner (might be Nero, Sonic, Roxio) looking for a function that will create a Video DVD (note that it must specifically be creating/authoring a VIDEO DVD intended for play on TV rather than just burning a data DVD). Once you find this function, use your WMV file from PSE 4 as the input and choose the software options that give you a video DVD.
Based on my experience and conversing with others on forums, this will give you a DVD that is significantly better quality than the Elements VCD (written to a CD) and but not quite as good as a program that does a slide show direct to DVD. Quality is a subjective judgement, so I am not saying this is the answer for everyone. However, my philosphy is generally to try the software I have first before purchasing additional software.
Notes: For Sonic, I used a MyDVD limited edition that came with my burner. For Nero, I communicated with someone who did it with Nero Vision Express. I don't have any specifics for Roxio.
Notes: Creation of the WMV will almost always take a long time - depending on the number of slides and the number and type of transitions, zooms, pans. Each photo must downsized in resolution, then each individual type of motion must be applied; these photos must then become frame per second video (a significantly different format translation). All this takes time and processor power.

TV Shows to DVD?

Is it possible to burn the shows that I downloaded from the iTunes music store to DVD? I'm interested in saving LOST to DVD and then watching it on my TV instead of on my iPod or laptop. Thanks in advance!

Sorry, but you may burn them only for backup purposes to DataDVD but not to DVD-Video.
