This is also true for cd-r and cd+r, the better compatibility has been -r there too. And verbatim has worked well with me, however I have heard issues with verbatim as well. Sony, maxwell, verbatim, ritek, too many more. Another thing, is read up on media manufacturers, and this includes DVD burning hardware, about some media will not work very cooperatively with some of the hardware! Usually the media type can be a problem. I may be reverse here, but I believe to correct. The -r type I have found to be more universal on most players, while the +r isn't as compatible. There are known issues with manufacturers which can allow and not allow the DVD or cd player to read. Compatibility with DVD players can be attributed to the type (DVD-r or DVD+ r) of DVD you use. Just a brief note, and experience sharing. Not a data disk of files and folders.Ĭreated correctly as a video disk, it doesn't matter what type of computers your school has. Put any DVD movie you've purchased into your computer the OS automatically recognizes it as a video. It is treated differently from a data disk by both a video set top player, and your computer. The data.Ī video disk is written specifically to be used for video. They don't play in a video player, then open on your computer and you can see all of the files and such on the disk. Just like the CD or DVD installer disks your software comes on. Otherwise it behaves the same as any other disk with files and folders on it. Except that it's read only when finished. It then behaves the same as a hard drive, floppy disk, etc. There's all kinds of disks:ĭVD: -R, -R DL, -RAM, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RWĭata or video disk refer to how it's written, not the disk type itself.Ī data disk is if you write files and folders to the disk like any other media for a computer. When it's done, you'll have a correctly built DVD video that will work on both your computer and set top player.Ī DVD+R is a type of disk. So it's going to re-encode your MP4 videos down to MP2 (your originals will remain as is). The software will figure out the highest bit rate it can use to fit the two videos onto one DVD.īe prepared to wait a while. Under the Encoding tab, just put it on Automatic, and the slider all the way to the right for best. If you leave the Number of Buttons on Automatic, it will create two menu options for the two MP4 videos you dropped into the left window of the first screen. Drag and drop your two MP4 videos into the big left hand window.Ĭlick the Customize button to setup the menu screen the way you want. To create a proper DVD video disk of your MP4 files, you need to use the DVD-Video drop down choice under the Video tab. Basically, you're lucking out that your player (most likely a Blu-ray player) can read a data disk and play back the MP4 files as raw video, rather than as a DVD written as a video disk. Once the conversion was completed, it continued to sort them and then burned them to disc.You must have burned the MP4 videos to a data disk, and not as a video disk. It encoded 1.3 GB of files within 20 minutes on my 2.0 GHz MacBook running OS X 10.7 Lion. It will then ask you to convert them to MPG files and asks you where to save the converted files. Grab your video files, drop them on – I threw on some MP4 files – and hit the Burn button. Want to create a video DVD with titles and menus? Don’t want the hassle of having to tweak and edit it all? Then this is for you. There are plenty of apps online to do the above, but the last feature is the one that turned my head and puts this app in a league of its own. I am not sure if it creates bootable discs, that I haven’t had a chance to try out yet. It can burn images and copy disc to disc. You simple drop on the audio files you want, in varying or mixed formats and create the disc of your choice. It can burn audio disc in audio CD, audio DVD and MP3 discs. It can burn data CDs and DVDs for use on both Mac and Windows, in HFS+, Joilet, Mac & PC and UDF. The main screen is simple, with just four buttons/tabs across the top to set the type of disc you want to burn. It isn’t as fancy as Toast, but it does pretty much the same. However, not everyone has the funds to spend nearly £100 on it or perhaps you think you might not use all the features.īurn is a no frills app. There is no denying it, Roxio’s Toast is a great piece of kit with recent versions adding more and more fancy features especially in the DVD video creation area. I had some video files I needed burning to a DVD-video yesterday, so started looking around for something free, and I stumbled across a superb little application called Burn.
