I don't burn that much stuff normally - just CD data disks to back up my files. Everything has all sorts of options for themes, menus, music, etc. iDVD doesn't seem to have such a simple format process. In iDVD I don't want menus or anything else - I just want my movie as is converted to a format which will burn to DVD. So the inflation to 3.7G for Part 1 seems weird after encoding it. I have seen this movie on videotape and it's between 1 to 1//2 hours long or less. Also, my movie file downloaded at about 120 MB, Part 1, and about 60 MB part 2. I am very impatient and I hate reading guidelines that take me a while to understand. Romanian it's a Latin language, so I understand a great deal, including your words.Īt this point, I've given up on iDVD - I looked over the help files and I just don't get it. Spanish, yo no habla, but I love it, so I plan to learn it. I know very well French, but I would avoid writing. I learnt English and French in school, but I practice mainly English nowadays. VLC is a video player that plays about any format possible. DVDs have a special structure and format, which is done by authoring software like iDVD.ĭon't mind about DTS (digital theathre system, a 5.1 audio format). Don't give up, with computers there is a sollution for (almost) everything.ĭon't try to burn the file just like that. Try to get a look at iDVD's help, in few minutes you should understand the basiscs and the settings needed. Those add to the length of the movie, so try to keep them short (around 30 seconds should be fine). MPEG Streamclip can do that.īe aware of the length of the menus you build in iDVD. If it is over 4 hours (which I doubt), you have to cut it in smaller pieces (under 2 hours for single layer, or under 4 hours for double layer). How long is the movie you got from the net? Over 4 hours? Only then it would be too big for a dual layer. Muchas gracias por su tiempo, y sus consejos, es usted muy amable. Shall we abandon this project or keep working at it? Isn't French spoken in Romania besides your native language? I studied German and French in college, but since I don't use them I have forgotten a great deal. I was born in New York City - they were from Puerto Rico. I speak Spanish if that is a language you know - I am bilingual Spanish-English due to my heritage of Puerto Rican parents. You speak English very well for a foreigner. Then I burn the CD for audio or data storage. I just know how to convert sound from any web source (streaming audio) or external input source (like my digital piano) to AIF then to mp3 in my Mac, and set the mp3 parameters for quality from low (128 kbps) to high (160 or 192 kbps) in iTunes. Sorry I can't help you with DTS audio files - I don't know what DTS stands for, nor what VLC means. mov file to the MPEG Streamclip window without setting some sort of parameters? Did I do something wrong by just dragging the old. I am ready to give up, unless I buy Toast and try that. Must buy a stack of 50 without cases - it's cheaper. mov that was supposed to work in DVD.Īnyway, I decided to try burning it as is at 3.7 Gigs via iTunes, but my DVD Player would not read it - message was "wrong disk". I don't understand how my old movie file which was only 114 MB when I first downloaded it from web, expanded to 3.7 Gigs after MPEG Streamclip re-encoded it to the "new". I don't even have a double DVD and none was in the DVD tray nor in my Mac. The message window said file was "Too big for double DVD - 15.8 Gigs of 8.0 Gigs" whatever that means. mov file to work on, export, or burn or anything. I am sorry to say that iDVD would not accept my re-encoded. So my question is what is the problem? Why is my burner taking so long to burn a 4.I love challenges, but I am close to giving up on this one. These are the same media I used in my old LG which worked great and burned fast. the dvd+r that I recorded w/ dragon burn was set at 8x and it took over 25 minutes to complete. Well them 6/32 is more like 24 minutes total completion to done. The problem is thats it is sooo darn slow!! Toast says it will complete burn in like 6 min and 32 sec. Roxio detected and was able to burn and media works. So I hook up he FD to my mini directly to its USB port. It is a FD (Fantom Drives) model# Aopen DUW1616. Worked great 8X dvd+r's on a full 4.7 gig dvdr would be completed withing 6-7 minutes. Just recently my external LG DVD burner died.
