How to burn a DVD disc to play .mov files?

Although WMP will play Quicktime files, I am dismayed to find that they are not compatible with Windows DVD Maker. What can I do to burn videos that can be played on a regular (and viewed on a TV) dvd player?

The. MOV files must be converted to a compatible
format before importing in creation of DVD... WMV would be
be a good choice.

There are to many converters available on the net...
the following links are some examples.

Proceed at your own risk *.

(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)

First... the commercial full version of Apple Quicktime Pro
has an option for conversion. MOV files to other formats.

  • How to get a DVD player to play jpg files (pictures) engraved on DVD

    I have 2800 weird pictures (JPGs) coming to a little more than 4 GB. I have them numbered Filename (10001) and following, such as recommended on another thread on this site. Using of Windows on a new DVD burner laptop computer that is running Windows 7 and ensure that I selected the format of the ISO image before burning, I burned the files on DVD discs.

    I tried DVD + R and DVD-R, but my DVD player does not recognize them as DATA disks. When I go to the photo Navigation, it loads sometimes 3 pictures sometimes more, and then freezes.

    My DVD player is a Sony DVP-NS39 bought in May 2009 and fortunately displays photos (jpg) files burned toCD s, but also to play happily on the movies.

    Is a nice person out there able to tell me where I'm wrong?

    Thank you very much

    I downloaded the software (which looks just like the other burning programs, I tried - but I thank you for this kind) but always with the same result. Either way, it cannot be the number of files ' cos I tried with just a couple of hundreds and got the same result!

    I'll assume my Player DVD has a gremlin and try the disc on the drive of a friend in the next few days. Will let you know the results...

    Barkwaypark

    ====================================
    Well... I thought it was worth the try. You would certainly
    Think that a JPEG compatible DVD player would recognize JPEG
    photos.

    Perhaps the DVD player only works for individual photos
    When it is burned on a CD. Check your manual for the it
    may provide.

    Maybe a DVD must be a movie file. Maybe you could
    create a video slide show with DVD Maker. (I could be
    wrong, but I think someone told me that it was limited to 999
    photos)

    The DVD works in your computer's DVD drive?

    Hello

    I doubt that this is possible because Bluray discs are mostly protected against copying.
    But if you have the Bluray m2ts file on your HARD drive, then you could try the tool called convertXtodvd. But I don't see that the reasons for this

  • Satellite M30-604: how to burn on DVD - RW?

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone could show me how to use the DVD - RW in the Toshiba M30 604.

    I know how to record on a CD. Simply, do a right click, send on a DVD - RW and then inside the window, click on write these files to CD. However, when I place a DVD disc + inside and use this process, he said that there is no disc inside.

    While hoping somone could give me some advice.

    Thank you

    Hello

    First of all; Are you sure that you computer laptop also uses a DVD burner or only the CD burner to 100%.
    If the (disk) material doesn t supports the media if you are unable to burn the media.
    That's why first check the properties of burner.

    But if your drive is compatible DVD - and DVD + engraving so I would recommend using additional burning as Nero software to burn it to CD or DVD.

  • How to burn a DVD

    I'm burning images to an album in first 12 items. When I took DVD to the couple of picture of retail kiosks said machines that DVD is blank. Put and returned an it on another PC that I burned and the pictures came on the right. How can I fix it.

    Jim

    Thanks for the follow up with more details.

    In this case, from the point of view Adobe Elements, you really do not need first of 12 elements in particular. You need organizing items 12.

    12 elements of Photoshop and first 12 items are stand-alone programs, each with a 12 organizing elements. (When two programs are on the same computer, they share the same catalog organizing elements 12.)

    Yes, from what you described, if you had 12 Photoshop elements with its organizing elements 12, you wouldn't need first of 12 elements. In other words, if you had first items 12 and its organizing elements 12, you would not need Photoshop elements 12 for this activity (unless you want to edit photos).

    Everything you need is organizing items 12, your photos in organizing items 12, Menu file / "Copy/move to removable disk" and a DVD disc in your DVD burner tray.

    I just wanted to be sure you were OK.

  • How to burn CDs & DVDs on Satellite M60?

    Could someone advise me how to burn a CD or a DVD on my laptop Satellite M60-164. I can't find any software CD/DVD burning on my PC.
    Thank you

    Hello

    If you use an operating system preinstalled Toshiba then the Sonic Record Now! Basic application must be installed on the laptop.
    This software is capable of burning CDs and DVDS.

    But maybe you want to use another application of part 3? Been to Nero?
    This is a very nice program, and it allows you to burn different types of media.
    For example it allows you to burn and create video or audio CDs.

    It s my favorite.

  • Qosmio F60 - how to burn a DVD?

    Hi all
    I recently purchased a Qosmio F60 as my first laptop and I am trying to burn a DVD. What is the normal burning time?

    I am a total newbie to DVD burning (this is my first attempt) and I'm trying to burn a movie that I recorded on my desktop which is 53 minutes in length. I inserted the blank DVD in the drive and click "burn" and so far, it took 1 hour and 30 minutes, and it's only 27% full. Does this sound right?

    All the basic information, tips, advice, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Remember, I am a total newbie and need basic instructions!

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey Buddy,

    The combustion speed is depending on the DVD player, burning speed and the data you burn. But 1 hour 30 minutes is too long, even you burn a DVD with 4, 7 GB of capacity with low burning speed.

    What program you use for burning discs? I recommend Nero or CDBurnerXP freeware tool.
    Also try different media, not all are compatible with all the drivers. I have good experiences with DVD-R from Verbatim and TDK discs.

  • Satellite P20: How to burn a DVD?

    When I try to burn a DVD it tells me to insert a blank DVD. When I put a DVD - RW in it still dose not recognize. I can read the DVD burn cant just ok
    hope someone can help

    Hi Pete,.

    You don't say exactly what P20 model you have but I think that they were shipped with a DVD burner able to burn-r and RW discs. If you try to burn a RW - then he will have to get in shape first.

    I'm not sure what you use a burning software, but there should be an option to format a RW disc before using it.

    It is also interesting to note that some readers are very picky on the who do the blank media you are using you may need to experiment a bit to find a suitable brand to use. It is worth noting that some of the cheaper brands might be more effective than brands 'name '. Personally, I use "Datawrite" discs with no problems in a mat * player.

    Try to burn a - R and not a RW - as a first test to ensure that the optical drive is working properly.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    I imagine that you replace didn t drive of the laptop.
    Many laptops come with a different hardware configuration. This means that as different readers might be installed in the laptop. But if you bought the laptop with the DVD burner I see not why the reader should not burn the DVD.

    What burning software do you use? I use Nero. It's great and easy to use.
