Why can't I burn a movie to me external dvd drive?

I can share movies digitally to itunes, youtube, cnnreport, and vimeo. But can't burn to my external drive. What am I doing wrong, or is the macbook pro just that way?

Not if you have iDVD. You haven't said yet whether you do or not. If you do, here's how you can create a DVD from the new iMovie 10:
In iMovie 10 go to File>Share>File, choose the size (probably should choose either SD or Large) then click Next, give it a name, then click Save (remember where you saved it to).
Wait until the Activity Indicator shows that the sharing process is complete.
Go to iDVD. Go to File>Import>Video and select the file you created earlier. It will bring the video into your iDVD project. Prepare you DVD project and when you're ready, click the "Burn" button.
iDVD is no longer officially supported by Apple, but that doesn't mean you can't still use it. It's still a great option...possibly the best...for burning video DVDs on a Mac.

    Not a good idea.
    What you could do, is have the Library content on the external hard drive and simply tell your iTunes programme to look on the hard drive for your music etc.. However, once you set that up, that hard drive needs to be connected and ready to read, before you start the iTunes programme. If it isn't ready, iTunes will simply go back to the default location for the music, find nothing and then you'll be back here saying that you've lost your Library.

    Hello, eco1. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    This sounds like you are wanting to move your iTunes media folder to an external drive and have iTunes this folder from this location.  If this is the case then I would recommend taking a look at the article below.

  • How to burn albums in iPhoto with external DVD drive?

    I have the new iMac which doesn't contain a DVD drive... so I bought an external DVD drive and I am trying to burn albums from iPhoto but in the "share" option, the "burn to disc" option doesn't come up. It's as if iPhoto doesn't recognize a DVD drive available, but it is. Anyone know a fix to this? Thank you!

    open the album and select all - export to a desktop folder (see the user tip on exporting for the various options available) and then in the finder right click on that folder and burn to disk

  • Why can't I burn a movie to play in a DVD player?

    I made a movie in iMovie well it was more like a slide show I did with pictures and dropped some music in there However when I went to burn the the movie I got a message saying that I only can play this movie in a DVD/DVD rom will not play in a standard DVD player. Then I tried sharing the movie to iDVD but I still can't burn into DVD format for (DVD Player) Why do I have to select new themes in iDVD all I want to do is burn the movie that I created to play in a dvd player.
    Thank You

    This feature creates a duplicate of your project onto
    a CD or DVD ROM. It does not create a video DVD for
    playing in a DVD player. Do you want to continue?
    This is the message that I received in iMovie when I
    went to burn to disc File>Burn to disc
    There are two kinds of DVDs we can create from within iMovie.
    1. A DVD containing iMovie project files as Mac files. This kind of DVD functions a lot like a hard disk. The File > Burn to disk command burns the iMovie project onto the DVD. This project movie cannot be played on a TV.
    Most iMovie projects are too large to fit on a single-sided DVD, which is limited to about 4.6GB of data. One hour of iMovie video requires 12GB of disk space.
    2. A DVD containing files encoded (converted) in the MPEG-2 format, which DVD players know how to play. This type of DVD can be played on a TV. When converting your iMovie project to the MPEG-2 format, iDVD compresses the video and audio so (about) two hours of video can fit on a single-sided DVD.

  • Why can't iTunes play music from read-only external hard drive?

    I have a write-protected external hard-drive which I keep all of my iTunes media on. iTunes recognizes all of the files, including the metadata on the id3 tags, and can find the files in Windows Explorer. However, it cannot play the files while the drive remains write-protected. Is there a work around for this as I would prefer to keep the hard-drive protected? Why does iTunes require write-access to play songs? Other media players have no problem playing from my read-only external hard-drive. Thanks for any help

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    When you say you can't play through both devices at the same time, what happens when you try, are you able to select multiple speakers, do they deselect themselves, do you not get the option or does it just not work when you select multiple speakers.

  • Can I export my itunes movies onto an external hard-drive and then remove them from my computer, but still watch them when I plug in my external hard-drive?

    I am running out of space on my macbook. What is taking up the most room is my movies. Can I put them on an external hard-drive and then watch them later after I remove them from my library?

    On Windows, hold Shift (not alt), launch iTunes and select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder you copied to the external drive.

  • Can you file your iTunes movies on an external hard drive and still access them from itunes?

    Yes.
    I have a 5TB iTunes library stored on a Drobo 5D.

  • Why can't iTunes find the music from an external hard drive?

    I moved my music to an external hard drive to free up space on my old laptop.  Since I moved to a new laptop, iTunes never seems to find the music.  I have to go through and manually select a song for it to find it one and then it says should it use this to find the rest of the songs.  Then it crashes.  I have reinstalled iTunes tonight with no real improvement.  I want to be able to create a playlist to upload to my new iPad as well as updating music on my iPod but I can't do any of it.  Please, any advice!

    Has the new laptop given the external drive a different drive letter?
    The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
    If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

  • Why can't I import video files from an external hard drive?

    I am using Adobe Premiere Elements 12 on Mac OSX 10.7.5 trying to import video files from a Lacie Rugged External Hard Drive using both firewire and usb, neither with any luck. The error message I receive is:
    "You're trying to import a file from a DVD or a Removable Media.  Please use Video Importer for importing Videos and Image Importer for importing images. "
    We can't import through the video importer either because the hard drive doesn't show up. We can, however, drag the videos to the desktop and do it that way but we'd like to avoid doing that if possible.
    Thanks
    By the way, the external hard drive is formatted FAT32 if that matters

  • ITunes crashes when I try to burn a cd on an external dvd drive

    Unfortunately, it may just be a problem with the older version of iTunes. Working versions don't always keep working. You should invest in an Intel Mac and get iTunes 10. It would make so much more on your Mac work smoother as well, and you could upgrade to Lion.

  • Can't re-install Leopard(10.5) from external DVD-drive...

    I'm trying to wipe my hard drive and re-install OS 10.5.5 from the start up DVD's apple sent me. The internal drive is broken and will not accept discs so I had to buy an external USB DVD drive. When I insert the disc and start the install process the computer restarts and stops doing anything when it gets to the gray Apple screen(there is a spinning dial just under the apple sign). The computer stays there till I turn the computer off.
    Why can't I re-install? I've tried holding the option key on start up but all that comes up is the hard drive icon, when I click on it it goes right to the desktop.
    Is this caused by the External drive?
    Thanks for any help you can give!

    Check this link and see if your Mac fits the requirements (most information can be found in Apple Menu>About this Mac)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If it's the Macbook you have listed in your signature it will run Snow Leo just fine.
    Or just check to see if it has these things:
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation

  • Why can't I burn a movie longer than 60 min

    Don't know how to be concise on all this but I'll try. I have a 5.50 hour sd video thought mac and imovie would be great, but so far I've spent 35 hours and only have 1 hour of video on a dvd.
    One thing I don't understand is the entire movie is 7.8 gbyt (5.50 hours long) I CANNOT BURN THIS IDVD will not allow me to burn the 5.50 hours. I've called Apple support and been told only burn 1 hour "comeon Micosoft got you guys beat. I already edited and burned this entire video on a p.c. with the help of a third party software burning program called xdvd. I used IMovie and the xdvd for the burn. Another problem is space, the movie (after it becomes an event without any editing ) take up 103 gbyt WHY???? The raw movie is only 7.8 gbypt. My entire h.d. is only 320 so this becomes a problem UNLESS YOU CAN BURN THE SUCKERS.
    Imovie is very complicated and is not straight forward, I don't know if it would help to use the "compression" I've tried to find this in a manual and don't know what its for?
    Does anyone know good manual to buy for either imovie and idvd?? I WISH I HAD NEVER BOUGHT THIS MAC I bought strickly for editing my videos.

    This is a user forum.
    I can see your frustrated, but yelling at other users won't help.
    This forum is for mobile iMovie (iPhones, iPad e.t.c).
    you may need the iMovie Mac forum:

    iDVD can burn up to 120 minutes as a DVD.
    There are more DVD encoding apps that can make longer videos.
    But 5.5 hours on one DVD will be very low quality.
    I recommend you break it up into 2 hour parts and burn if you can.

  • Why can't I read or write from my external hard drive?

    Hey there, I recently borrowed my brother's laptop to use as a media station for listening to music from, and watching movies, in order to free up some space on my main macbook.  In trying to migrate some files over, I discovered that my hard drive, a 320 GB WD Elements drive, is having some problems which I've never encountered before.  It has always worked fine in the past, but now I can't transfer any files to or from it, from either computer.  In all of my troubleshooting, I've gotten various errors, (-36, -50), and various messages saying how the device can't be read or written from, or how some files contian unreadable data, etc.
    Disk Utility found an unused node when verifying the disk, and notified me that the disk needed to be repaired.  I then used Disk Utility, which said it was able to successfully repair it, but the same problem remains, and after verifying the disk, it still says it needs to be repaired.  I've tried to find any files that may be causing the problem, and was finally able to delete a seemingly troublesome file that was stuck in my trash bin from the external drive after trying various apps, (ie Trash It, Cocktail, What's Keeping Me?).  This didn't end up solving anything...I've used terminal to eliminate some other potentially problematic files, with no luck still, and I'm not too confident with Terminal so I don't want to be messing around too much without more guidance.
    Most recently, I've used Disk Warrior to try to solve the problem, but still with no success.  When I use the app to Check All Files and Folders, it does so for only a few seconds, then reports that "An unexpected error ocurred while attempting to perform file operations" for several files, and that several files' "Property list is damaged and cannot be repaired".  When using Disk Warrior to REBUILD the drive, the app pauses for about 15 seconds, then says that it can't be rebuilt because it is in use.  Again, I've used the What's Keeping Me? app to kill any activity with the drive, and the same error occurs.
    I've spent a lot of time trying to sort this out...It's very frustrating, and I have a lot of files that mean a lot to me on my drive, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks a lot!
    Ryan

    I have this problem too with my Western Digital 1TB My Passport for Mac.
    Downloaded Card Data Recovery - did not work. The software self terminated itself when the problematic WD is connected. Starts up fine when the WD is not connected by USB.
    Then I downloaded Remo Recovery. Starts up fine, scans fine and appears to save the files but ALL the files 'saved' are unreadable.
    Finally, downloaded Stellar Phoenix in a last ditch attempt to recover my precious video files. Starts fine, saves fine BUT it cannot save files above 200MB because the WD stops working every 10 minutes.So, did not solve my problem totally because I have so many files above 200MB.
    And yes, I PAID for all the software above. And the first two software are reluctant to refund me my money until their development team can ascertain whether it's a software bug, over online web conference. And because of the time differences, I can never get online with them. So, all my money gone.
    Until one day I opened Activity Monitor and noticed this 'fsck_hfs' starting up everytime I connected the problematic WD My Passport for Mac.
    So, tried to Force Quit 'fsck_hfs' and VOILA!
    A dialogue box popped up and says that the Passport for Mac cannot be repaired and that I can move and copy files from it but not save to it.
    PHEW!!
    At least I can access the files and save them to my Seagate 1TB although now I am having a problem opening FCP X project files rescued from the WD.

  • Why can't I edit SOME pictures on the external hard drive in iPhoto?

    I have moved my iPhoto Library to an external drive. I can see all photos in the thumbnail, but there are several pictures that when I click on them to edit, the screen is black, while others show up. I'm confused.

    If in the middle of that black window is an exclamation point then iPhoto has lost link to the original file. If you're running a "managed" library (copy image file into the library when imported) try the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
    Fix #2
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
