Question

How can I move pictures to a DVD from a Mac computer to view on Windows?

Community Answer

Use the DVD burn function on your Apple device. There is a CDROM on your computer (unless it is an Apple iDevice or an Apple laptop manufactured after 2011).

How do I burn a DVD if it says that there is not enough space on the disk?

You're going to have to compress the file (which you can do with a third party program) or get a bigger disk.

Question

How new does my Mac need to be to burn DVDs? I'm using a Mac Pro with High Sierra 10.13.6 and a SuperDrive, but my .mp4 videos won't play on DVD players when burned to DVD-R disks.

To play on standard DVD players, the videos must be in a format like DVD-Video, not simply .mp4 files. You may need software to convert your files before burning them.

Insert a blank DVD. Open Finder, select and right-click on your files, choose "Burn [X] Items to Disc." Set the disc name, burn speed, format, and encryption. Click "Burn" and wait. Eject the DVD, then re-insert to verify. Your DVD is ready.

How do I finalize a DVD on my Mac Pro?

Amna Rajppoot

Community Answer

If you have an external DVD burner connected to your Mac Pro, you can use third-party DVD authoring software like Roxio Toast to create and finalize your DVDs. Be aware that newer Mac Pro models do not include built-in optical drives.
