m4v burned to DVD

A very easy method, but not free, is ConvertXtoDVD: http://www.vso-software.fr/products/convert_x_to_dvd/

Download the trial and see if it fits your needs.

HTH,

Dan: ConvertXtoDVD does not seem to work. I have created 2 DVD files (VOB) for movies. I have 4 remaining which are MPEG4 (m4v) format. Unless I am doing something wrong, it will not convert the m4v files correctly. I have contacted their tech support to see what they say. (Because it worked on other files, I purchased it; I have asked the company to refund my purchase if this problem cannot be solved.)

I have looked in many places, and it appears that the VSO product is one of the best.
I am disappointed; but hopeful.

When you drop the m4v files into ConvertXtoDVD, is the preview shown?

Try dropping a single m4v file, then press the "Convert" button. That should, by default, create a dvd structure in "Documents/ConvertXtoDVD/<name>" and then ask for a blank DVD.

If that works, then the problem can be solved. Post the log from your custom project that fails and we'll see what went wrong.

HTH,
Dan

OK

I successfully converted and burned an mp4 movie into VTS; but when I attempted to do the same with an m4v movie, the enclosed files will show that it crashed; within less than 1 minute the conversion reached 99.7% (abnormal) and froze "rendering chapters" at which point everything seems to have locked up. I am also enclosing the logfile.

I've requested that this question be deleted for the following reason:

I don't appreciate today's screwball mentality where, when you have a "newbie" question, you are falsely accused of doing something intentionally illegal. (So much for "Fair Use" on something purchased. I am upset. In Peace, I will say no more. Case closed. Goodbye.

GadgetDude, no one accused you of anything. I simply stated that you have a DRM protected m4v (from your log) and that I don't think we're allowed on EE to discuss methods on circumventing that.

I'll post this as an objection, so a moderator see this. If it's allowed, we can continue to help you.

There will be no further comments save this final one: I don't appreciate being accused of doing something illegal when that was not my intent. So much for the BS of "Fair Use.'
Wanting to make a copy of a DVD I purchased so that I could keep the original safe. I despise being falsely accused. I have had that happen to me 3 times in my life; and in point of fact, I was exonerated on all counts! The people either outright lied or were misinformed. Making judgments and accusations before they have all the facts.

On this matter, no further comments will be made, accepted nor answered. I have had my final say!
CASE CLOSED!!!!!!!

No one talked of legal/illegal, right/wrong, except GadgetDude.

You posted a technical question that the TOS of this site (that we all accepted) does not allow us to answer.

Yup, case closed :)
