Space to burn-I'm Burning for you!

How does the MB allotment work when burning to CD-r? I try to keep it under 700mb as I did with transferred music but it asks for more disks as it only allows around 80mb per disc?. Am I just figgering it wrong? The discs say 700 MB no decimal, What's the difference between a CD track and an Apple Mp3?
Also does anyone else have the same problem with bad disks on XP machines?, sometimes I'm lucky to get 5 out of 10 that will work when burning. When I do a windows format on some through vista they will work at times, the office depot sale discs are performing better than the gold memorex tonight! My recycle box is full of gold circular trash yes...it ***** But what can you do?? Thanks

An audio CD (just audio) is time limited to about 70 minutes. That applies for discs you want played in a regular CD player. Data CD's or MP3 cd's can carry up to 700 mb of songs. Audio CD's and MP3's are two different beasts and their capacities are recorded differently

  • Instant Ken Burns For YOU! ..... Or The Idle Thoughts Of An Idle Editor.

    Let's not beat around the bush ....... I am lazy!
    I have always admired the way, with a few simple clicks, you can transform a selection of your slides in iPhoto, into quite an impressive instant slideshow.
    One big advantage is the auto-Ken Burns effect, though on occasions it can pan something important out of the frame!
    Now for lazy people like me, there is the FCE equivalent ........ in the form of Piero's Ken Burns Filter which is called the "Auto Pan Zoom".
    It can be used in auto-default mode if you are like me, but can also be customised to give the exact effect you want.
    I have just done one of my infamous "One minute tests" and was quite impressed.
    I imported a random selection of photos and dragged them into the timeline along with the transition.
    I then selected them all and dropped the KB Filter onto them.
    Finally I de-interlaced them and added a bit of music.
    The whole experiment took less than 5 minutes.
    I don't claim it to be a prize-winning film but I think it shows how well Piero's filter can work for a slothful person like me!

    Very nice...
    The little jump you may have noticed during the fade-out during the end was recently fixed in Piero's newer version (I believe this to be the case).
    This is a life-saver for people like me who frequently make trip videos with hundreds of photos and don't want to spend the time keyframing every single one of them. Before I got FCE this year, I had been using iMovie HD ('06) to do the "Ken Burns" effect very nicely. However, this often took months to complete a project. I really want to use FCE for my next trip photo show, but am aware that individually keyframing each photo would probably take even more time than I could do it in iMovie.
    I realize this was not the purpose of this thread, but here is a question about importing photos into FCE. In iMovie, I experienced pretty decent quality just directly importing the pictures from iPhoto. However, reading through recent threads has given me the impression that importing stills into FCE is considerably more work.
    If I simply imported my stills from a folder on my desktop, would I experience similar quality to using them in iMovie HD? Or does the way FCE works make me have to go through more steps?
    And finally (as if I already haven't asked enough questions), how did you import your photos Ian? The quality in your creation is good enough for my purposes, and I am hoping that there is an easy and quick way to do what I want.

  • How to see available space when burning a disk?

    Please can someone tell me how I can see how much space is left on a blank disk when I am adding files to burn? In Windows there is a clear indication at the bottom of the screen showing how much space is left on the disk, so you can calculate which files/folders will fit into the space left. On my Mac there seems to be nothing - or at least nothing I can see in the Finder window - so how am I supposed to know when the disk is full or not? I usually end up putting too much on there & then it tells me once the burn process has started that there isn't enough space. This isn't very helpful or practical. Any advice appreciated....

    Thanks BDAqua for reminding me to redownload Burn so I can use it on my new iMac.  Glad that it still works in ML. 

  • Not Enough Free Disk Space to Burn - - Please HELP!!!

    Hello -
    I'm having a lot of trouble creating my iMovie and DVD. After several days of trying to delete applications and files off of my hard drive, I apparently still do not have enough free disk space to burn the DVD. This is very frustrating for me as I've created several movies/DVDs in the past and haven't had this much trouble. (I have deleted the old movies for more space.)
    I have used Monolingual to delete unnecessary language files, and have deleted the iDVD plist as was suggested in other threads, however I still do not have enough free space.
    Any additional suggestions would be VERY much appreciated! I tried to copy the iDVD file to my iDisk thinking maybe it would burn from there since I have almost 10GB available there, but again there wasn't enough space.
    Thank you so much for your help!

    Lindsay,
    One of the problem with the Powerbook G4s is that most of them tend to have small - in today's term - hard drives. I have a couple of external Firewire drives from Iomega that I use with my Powerbook to fee as much free space on the internal hard drive as I can. You will have to do the same.
    iDVD probably won't be able to use a project file on your iDisk.

  • CD Burner for Mac 9.2.2

    Hi,
    I am new to Mac computers. I recently got an old iMac (manufactured in 2000) but it does not have a CD Burner, only a CD reader. I am looking for an external CD Burner for my iMac
    OS 9.2.2
    G3
    320 MB Built-in memory
    It's got two FireWire conectors and four USB ports.
    If you happen to know of any CD Burners on the market compatible with my old iMac, please let me know.
    Thanks a lot.
    Dan321
    iMac   Mac OS 9.2.x  

    Dan321...
    OUCH, Dan. It may have been worth the extra $25-$50 to have an iMac with an internal CDRW drive.
    External support is diminishing as we speak. You would have to throughly search out for one that hopefully includes some additional software or pay extra for decent software.
    Forgit USB unless you have lots of time on your hands. It would burn 650MB very slow. Maybe up to 90 minutes per CD.
    Good Luck!

  • Looking for a external blu ray dvd burner for my mac

    looking for a external blu ray dvd burner for my mac

    There are plenty of options but I have found that the LaCie d2 http://blu-ray.burnworld.com/burners/lacie-d2.htm works more consistantly. I use Toast 11 mainly for Blu-Ray. The drive does come with a basic verison of the software which is good for most but you need to upgrade to do some serious authoring.

  • ITunes is not installed properly. If you wish to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTunes .

    I have installed iTunes on my new Windows 8 laptop and I get the "iTunes is not installed properly.  If you wish to Import or burn CDs you need to reinstall  iTunes." 
    I have worked with Dell technicians and we have re-installed iTunes numerous times.  We modified the Registry by adding the Upper Filters key and we removed the CD player in Device Manager and allowed it to be automatically reinstalled by the computer.  All of this failed.
    Please help!

  • TS3299 iTunes was not properly installed.  If you wish to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTunes

    I've installed iTunes 10.6 on my Windows 7 machine.  Everytime I start it I get this message:  iTunes was not properly installed.  If you wish to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTunes.
    Reinstalling iTunes made no difference.
    So I found this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3299  and updated the registry like it said and it still didn't work but it also had the effect of making my CD drive no longer work for anything, including playing movies.   Before following those instructions I could read and write cds using Windows Media player.  Fortunately, I had backed up my registry leaf and restored it.
    So I've been trying to figure out how to burn a cd from iTunes for close to two months now with no luck.  Does anybody know how to get rid of the above error message?
    Thank you!

  • Rate SONY 820 UL/T DVD burner for burning iMovies-what's better?

    I have an iMac G5 with internal CD burner, but not DVD burner. I do have the iDVD and iMovie software--so I installed this external driver to burn iMovie projects and after hours of messing around with my blessed iMac G5 and mystified SONY support techs finally learned it won't burn iMovie or Quicktime movies with Mac software bundle it comes with (Roxio Toast Lite 6..) Should I send back driver and get something else, or stick with it and upgrade to Toast 7? I am frustrated since the Sony/Mac software bundle leads you to believe you CAN burn your videos.

    Hello Artcart,
    the main difference between iDVD and Toast is, that iDVD is primarily an authoring software (it authors the structure of the DVD with possibility of multiple menus, movies/slideshows) while Toast is a disc burning app ( with the possibility of encoding movies for DVD).
    If you look through the iDVD discussion board you'll find that most users adopt the "divide and conquer" method:
    1. Author the DVD in iDVD because it gives you more choices for menus etc.
    2. Create a disk image (a file that behaves like a DVD, but is stored on your HDD)
    3. Burn the image file to DVD with Toast (more reliable for burning)
    I should be able to select/drag my (NTSC formatted) iMovie project into Toast and the SONY drive will indeed burn a nice DVD for me?
    Absolutely. Toast does the encoding, but offers you only a very simple menu (start-up screen). if that is sufficient for you, you can do without iDVD.
    To add this: I've been using an external LaCie burner for the last 2 years to create DVDs for a living, and have had a very low failure rate .... no worries
    I am not sure what "menu" selection you mean--the "play" title menues offered in iDVD?
    Yep.
    hope this helps

  • How can I know the extact model of burner for my powerbook?

    If I want to buy a new burner for my powerbook, how can do I know the exact specs to order it. My computer is a PowerBook G4 17", Machine Model 5,9 Titanium. And where can I buy one so I can install it myself. Please, it´s urgent. Thankyou.

    Hi, Alex. Your Powerbook is not Titanium but Aluminum. There was never any 17" Titanium PB.
    The model of your current optical drive will be shown in System Profiler and in Disk Utility. But because your Powerbook is now a four-year-old model, the drive in it is probably discontinued now, and there are newer, better, more versatile drives with which you could replace it. A good source for one is OWC:

  • Best External dvd burner for dual layer disks?

    Hi everyone,
    At some point my internal dvd burner in my mac book pro died, and apple replaced it. After that, I couldn't burn a dual layer disk. They've changed it twice more to accomodate me (the genius bar is awesome), but I still only have mediocre results. No problem burning regular dvds or cds. So I wondered is there a REALLy good external burner for DVD-DL that you have experience with? Thanks!

    A good bootable multi-interface enclosure (empty) for an external CD/DVD drive will run about US$70.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MRSFW8U2RF/
    They also sell SATA drives pre-installed in that same enclosure.
    Many users find installing an internal drive themselves no more difficult than doing a memory upgrade themselves.
    Others prefer not to work inside their computer.
    Based on your graphics card and the original drive, I expect your Mac Pro is an older model. All before 2009 accept an ATA INTERNAL drive such as this:

    That page also has a video of how to install a replacement DVD drive.

  • Looking for an DVD burner for my laptop

    Hi there,
    I'm in the process of looking for a good but cheap DVD Drive that would fit into the laptop HP Pavilion DV7-3188cl. Can anyone please give me some advice?..Any help is greatly appreciated.. Thanks for the help in advance..
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Use your P/N on hp driver site and find the Service Manual and see what it list for OD that it uses and you can then use that to reference what DVD burner drive you can get. And if it is a Sata drive most Newer OD are sata you just have to make sure it is a DVD burner and then swap the faceplate to match the original one.

  • Free cd/dvd burner for mac os 10.7 - the version i have is roxio toast but in os10.7.5 when i try to open app - it said  can't open app because powerpc apps arent supported ?

    - the version i have is roxio toast but in os10.7.5 when i try to open app - it said  can't open app because powerpc apps arent supported ?
    is there a free app download to burn cd/dvd for os10.7?

    Depending on what type of CD/DVD you intend to burn, you may not need any 3rd party applications:
    - To burn data CDs or DVDs simply insert a blank disc, drag files to the empty FInder window that represents the disc, then click the burn button (I think t appears near the top of the finder window).
    - To burn music CDs just use iTunes
    - To create disk images from a CD or DVD use Disk Utility.  To burn .iso or .cdr images to disc use Disk Utility.
    About the only type of disc burning that you may need a 3rd party application for is to create a DVD movie (iDVD used to do this but no longer a supported app).  I haven't ever needed anything outside of the built-in capabilities of OS X when it comes to burnig CD or DVD media.  One suggestion is to make sure to remove all of the Roxio software so that it doesn't interfere with the built-in OS X capabilities.
    Hope this heps.
