Windows Installation Burning to dvd-r location problem

Laptop: SateLite L455
just over 5 weeks old. Trying to make a installation disk but can't find it any place on the laptop to make it. Bought from Best-Buy. Hard drive is making very loud noise and starting to have hard drive problems and plan to get a new drive this week but like to burn Windows Installation first. I don't feel like buying Windows Installation at best buy when i should be able to burn a copy from my new laptop.

L4500-S5000 is model #
Sloppy. Maybe this one?

Moving imovie project to a windows pc to burn to dvd

Hi iv been looking all over the place my question is how do i move an imovie project to a windows pc so i can use nero or something on the pc to burn the project to a dvd that can be watched with a dvd player the reason is i have no super drive
please help!!!!!!!!

...because in imovie format you cant select it..
my guess was, because your harddrive is "crowded" usually, any project saved into the movies-folder on your internal drive, should be available via iDVD... (??)
.. Plan B): create a new iDVDproject, and drag'n drop your iMproject (icon has a black star on it) into the iDVD window...
then, choose in iDVD "create image"; that creates a "digital, virtual" copy of your final disk => "mydvd.img",... following the advices I posted above, you can use any window app to burn from that a videoDVD, compatible with all standalone DVDplayers/PC/Mac dvd-player-apps PLUS all shinin' blinkblink of an iDVD-production.

Validation Error when burning a DVD

When I export a slide show from iPhoto to iDVD and press the icon to BURN, a warning comes up that there were problems during validation process (whatever that is?) and suggests not burning the DVD until the problems have been corrected. I can continue and it will burn the slideshow to the DVD okay even with this warning but later, say on another day, if I try to bring up the slide show in iDVD to try and burn it again, a message comes up that says there were problems during the validation process and won't let me burn another DVD. How do I go about fixing this problem?

Welcome to the discussions
The error you are getting can be caused by a different Formats of the slideshow you are trying to copy. Example if you are trying to copy Tiff, Jpeg, and Pic files through iDVD this may be your problem.
iDVD was developed for the user to make copies of there home movies and the like.
You will find that 3rd prty software like Roxio;s Toast-8 will make your problems go away.
or you can use the finder and follow the directions in this link.

Burning a DVD from CS4 on a Windows 7 computer

I'm unable to burn a DVD from the edited timeline in CS4. I have Windows 7 Home Premium software loaded on my PC. When I go from Dynamic Link to Encore I get an error message stating Encore is not compatible with my PC. How can I burn a DVD using CS4 and Windows 7?

Create an ISO (Encore) or folder on your hard drive (Encore or Premiere Elements) and then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)
Imgburn will read the ACTUAL disc brand from the disc, which is not always the same as the box label (Memorex is notorious for buying "anything" and putting it inside a Memorex box)
When you write to disc with Imgburn, use the slowest possible speed setting, so your burner has the best chance to create "good, well formed" laser burn holes... since no DVD player is required to read a burned disc, having a "good" one from a high quality blank will help
Use Taiyo Yuden single layer or Verbatim dual layer
Or Falcon Pro for inkjet printable dual layer

Why can't I burn a DVD of photos from my iPhoto that will be viewable on a Windows computer?

Why can't I burn a DVD of photos from my iphotos that will be viewable on a PC using windows?

Darned if I know. What exactly are you doing?
The general answer is to select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder (file menu ==> export). In the finder right click on that folder and burn to disk

How to burn a slideshow to DVD for anyone to play. I burned a DVD and can play it on my mac, but will not open in windows

Need to know how to burn a DVD that can be viewed by any DVD player. I created a DVD from a slideshow created in iPhoto. I can open it on my computer, but it will not open or even be recognized in my home DVD player. I asked a friend to try it on a Windows computer and he could not open it. What's the key to creating things for friends & family that do not have Mac anything?

I used iDVD to create an IMG file
You created the video DVD, the IMG file, with iDVD and just burned it with Disk Utility. As Klaus1 pointed out Disk Utility can't create video DVDs.

I'm using DVD Studio pro to burn a dvd but it won't let me cause I keep getting a "Formatting Failed" error message. It says "Formatting was not successful. Layer 0 exceeds max layer size allowed. Choose a suitable marker location." What does this mean?

It means your file is too large to fit on a single layer disk.
Recompress to keep the overall size (audio,video and menus) below 4.5GB

How to burn a dvd with both Mac and Windows files

I have a DVD that has both Mac and Windows formatted files. When the DVD is mounted only Mac formatted files show. I want to burn a DVD copy containing both formatted files. How do I do that? Thanks in advance.

Correction! It is a CD and there are two partitions with Mac and Windows files.

Unable to burn DVDs on iMac. Folders dragged to DVD window appear as documents. DVDs from same package burned OK last year. Using Lion. CDs burn OK.

Unable to burn DVDs on 2009 iMac ( Lion ). Folders and any files dragged to DVD window appear as blank documents.
Burned DVDs from same package ( Memorex ) last year OK. CDs burn OK. DVDs are several years old, if that matters.

The music is a tune that was purchased/downloaded from the iTune store. The slide shows (five of them) consist of digital photos (jpg) that I have taken. The interesting thing is that I also have an eMac (about three years old) that I have created the same iDVD project (identical music & identical slide shows). I have been able to burn a DVD disk of this project on my eMac WITHOUT A PROBLEM. The thing I do not like about the eMac is that I purchased family pack of iLife 6 last year (because I liked some of the new Themes). However, when I installed it on my eMac, for some reason it takes about 5-10 minutes to get iDVD 6 "up and running." Once it has loaded the Themes, however, I am "good to go." I've had this computer into the "Genius Bar" at the local area Apple Store TWICE and they are unable to get it to work more efficiently. The even reinstalled the entire operating system to no avail. So, the solution is to launch iDVD 6 on my eMac and then go do something else for 5-10 minutes. But at least I am able to burn my iDVD projects to DVDs.
With my iMac, iDVD launches quickly but is useless since I am unable to burn my iDVD slide show projects to DVD.
So, as a result, I am pretty much ready to "call it a day" with the iMac and will go back to my eMac.
Thanks for your time.

I would like to know how to burn a dvd in such a way that each image can be skipped over by pressing the skip button? If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!

Here's how top get a slideshow that will let the viewer manually control the forward and backward movement of the slides with the forward and back buttons on the DVD remote.
1 - put the images you want to use in an iPhoto album.
2 - launch iDVD, select a theme and add a slideshow using the "+" button at the bottom:
3 - click on the Media button at the lower right hand corner of the window and then click on the Photos button.
4 - locate the iPhoto album containing your photos and drag it into the left hand pane:
5 - select Side Duration to Manual.
In order to get the maximum manual control of the slides you cannot have add any music to the slideshow. If you do add music the slideshow will continue you advance unless you pause the slideshow and/or use the advance/back buttons and then pause.
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Hi
And if You change view - in main "window/view field" so that You see the box-plot structure.
No exclamation marks there either ?
and non at the front page ?
iDVD do not copy Your material - only points to where it is stored. So if on any external hard disks, USB-memories, CDs or DVDs are missing - assetts are broken.
Or if You changed location of any material or directed iPhoto or iTunes or GarageBand to a new Library - Then iMovie/iDVD also get's lost.

Burning a dvd

I copied a VHS tape onto a DVD+R disc. Now I want to make an additional copy of the DVD disc I made from the vhs tape. Can someone please tell me if I use Imovie or Idvd to produce it?
Thanks(I'm very new at this)

iMovie does not "burn" DVDs so if your iDVD project has already been erased, your would have to go through the entire process of sending/opening your iMovie project in iDVD to re-create a DVD burn. If you still have the iDVD project, you can burn another DVD by simply pressing the "Burn" button. The mount of time the burn takes will depend on whether or not you have made an major changes to the project, whether these changes have already been re-encoded in the background, and/or how extensive/compext your menu is and how difficult it is to re-encode. If you previously created/saved an "Image" of your iDVD DVD, then you need only burn this image as many times as needed.
If you have a copy of the previously burned DVD available and other applications like Toast, then you can "copy-burn" your "original" DVD directly or burn a copy from the VIDEO_TS folder contained on the DVD. Another option would be to to drop your VIDEO_TS folder icon or DVD icon to a free utility like DVD Imager which can automatically create an image file from either source that can then be burned using Toast or Apple's Disk Utility application in your "Applications > Utilities" folder.
If you don't have any third-party applications, you can manually perform the same work flow entirely from within the Apple "Disk Utility" application. In this case,
1) Open the Disk Utility application
2) Press the New Image icon button
3) When the new window opens,
... a) Enter a "Save As:" name for the image file to be stored on your hard drive
... b) Enter a "Volume Name:" which is the name of your DVD
... c) Select an appropriate "Volume Size:" (e.g., 4.7 GB DVD option)
4) Wait for the image file to be created on your hard drive and then mounted
5) When the image file is mounted, open its window and "drag 'n drop" the AUDIO_TS, VIDEO_TS, and any other extraneous folders present to the Image file.
6) Once all files are copied to the Image file, return to Disk Utility and select the Image (".dmg") file in the list
7) With the Image file selected, press the "Burn" icon button and follow instructions for burning your DVD.
This work flow is generic and should work with any OS X Mac having the Disk Utility application which has been around for some time. Its advantage is that the image file you create can be used more or less like a "virtual DVD-RW" disk on your hard drive. If left on your drive, you can burn additional copies of the image any time you want and/or, depending on its location, it can be mounted and played back in applications like the Apple DVD Player or Front Row. Since the data is stored on your hard drive, it eliminates the need for two optical drives or the continuous switching of discs for copying DVDs using certain older DVD copy applications. When no longer needed, it can be deleted entirely, or its contents can be removed and the image file re-used in much the same way as any re-writable optical disc. The disadvantage is that it takes up space on your hard drive. Basically it is a trade off between convenience in your ability to access content and the space required to store it.
