Burn DVD from VIDEO_TS folder

Hello! In 10.4 we used to burn video DVDs in Toast by dragging a folder containing VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders and clicking burn. Is there any built-in functionality in 10.5 that will achieve this, or must we purchase a new version of Toast? We also have Final Cut Studio 2, if that would help.

As Kurt stated, a version of Toast that works in 10.4 also will work in 10.5 for what you're doing. As for anything built in to OS 10.5, you need to use the application DVD Imager to create a UDF-format disc image before burning it with Disk Utility to a video DVD, just as in 10.4.

  • Burning playable DVD from VIDEO_TS Folder

    A friend of mine had a DVD Demo Reel that was damaged and wouldn't play, so i was able to rip the files (VIDEO_TS) folder onto my hard drive from the DVD using MacTheRipper.
    Is there a program (preferably free) that i can burn the VIDEO_TS folder to a DVD so it will be playable in a DVD Player? I used to use Discribe to do it (came free with my ext burner) but i can't get that program to work on my new MacBookPro.
    ANY help is greatly appreciated!

  • How to burn valid video DVDs from VIDEO_TS folder

    Hello,
    Sorry if this topic is not in the proper location, but as the question is broad, I thought this was the best place to ask.
    I just want to burn files located in a VIDEO_TS folder, properly ripped on the hard drive, so as to make a valide Video DVD.
    I already attempted to use Burn, to no avail; it fails withing the first seconds, and outputs this line in the Console:
    19/06/09 15:24:16 /Applications/Burn.app/Contents/MacOS/Burn[596] Unexpected quarantine error: -43; ignoring
    I don't want to use Toast since it's not a freeware, and using Nero on Ubuntu does provide a valid DVD.
    Thx for help

    I don't want to use Toast since it's not a freeware
    But it's worth every cent of it! I have been using it for a long time and can't even remember the last time I stuffed up a disk, burning DVDs Music & MP3 CDS, photo cd's data etc.
    I have tried a couple of freeware and shareware programs that are supposed to be ok, but spent most of the time producing drink coasters. if there is one program I think everyone should fork out for it would be Roxio Toast.
    maybe someone can recommend a freebie, but I will always swear by Toast and think it has easily paid for itself already.
    Cheers

  • From EncoreCS3 DVD-9 VIDEO_TS folder to replication house via DDP (mastering steps in GEAR etc.)

    Ok, the "solution" or steps I'm trying to provide here is not complete, just the way I see it now. We will do it this way as we want to deliver the DVD-9 dual layer DDP master to the replication house. The intention is that this should be corrected or fullfilled in order so that in the end we have a proper guide for everyone here, so people, read this, and share you info and if there is anything to be corrected or tips for making things work better.
    Here we go:
    Let's assume we have created successfully a VIDEO_TS folder from Encore CS3, meaning we have not set a layer break yet, but otherwise we have a working product.
    STEP 1. SET THE LAYER BREAK IN GEAR Mastering Edition, guide http://www.gearsoftware.com/howtoguides/dvdvideobreakpoint.cfm
    Possible problems: non-seamless cells don't exist in the layer break window
    Possible solution: Use PGCEdit to change the cell type from seamless to non-seamless. This happens by opening the VIDEO_TS folder with PGCEdit and then double clicking on the VTS which holds the layer break point "window" (the VTS you chose in GEAR). Then you deselect the seamless joint checkbox in the cell (making it non-seamsless) you want to use as the layer break. Then you press OK and save the DVD. After that you create a new project in GEAR, do the layerbreak calculations based on the newly changed VIDEO_TS (with the non-seamless cell) and re-open the selected VTS_xx_0.IFO now in IFOEdit where you can now find the a proper non-seamless cell address for the layer break. Now you should be able to finish setting the non-seamless layer break in GEAR.
    Question: Do we have to and do we need to have the When saving, leave at least 32K of space between IFO and BUP" from the Options to be on when we do this in seamless joint change and save the dvd in PGCedit?
    STEP 2. CREATE DDP IMAGE FROM THE PROJECT, guide: http://www.gearsoftware.com/howtoguides/dvdvideotoddp.cfm
    STEP 3. TEST THE DDP IMAGE BY BURNING IT ON DVD-R DVD-9
    First you need to restore the DDP Image you just created, guide http://www.gearsoftware.com/howtoguides/restoreddpimage.cfm
    Burn the restored VIDEO_TS folder to DVD-9 with GEAR, guide
    http://www.gearsoftware.com/howtoguides/burndvdmovies.cfm
    STEP 4. SEE HOW THE PRODUCT LOOKS LIKE WITH THE LAYER BREAK SET
    -If the product looks good and the layer break makes you satisfied, deliver the DDP image to replication factory for replication.
    .............Ok people, share your thoughts if something is wrong or if you got points to remember, answers to the questions given, suggest changes, or even better, write here a better version of this guide? The aim would be in the end having a guide which says all the required things in order to achieve a successfull DVD-9 project.

    Neil, once again, thanks a lot.
    >The seamless/non-seamless question is a bit of a non-issue unless you are using multiple camera angles, as this is all it refers to. Unless you have multiple angles, ignore this completely.
    In Multiple Angles (unsupported in Encore anyway) Seamless means there is no pause in playback when switching between angles. That is all.
    So, I really thought the seamless/non-seamless would have affect on the actually layer switching when playing the DVD, so that it might affect the slight layer switch pause time. It's just that the gear guide says that you need to find a non-seamless break in the IFOedit, and that's it, so I guess it is a bit missleading there in that GEAR guide. But, I'm glad you cleared this out that this only has to do something with the multiangle views.
    >The 32kb of space is a "must-tick" option, otherwise you stand a high chance of having the master rejected by the factory. Nero is a bugger for running these 2 files (Video_TS.IFO & Video_TS.BUP) into what the player will see as one file.
    Ok, so unless you use PGCEdit, this should be already ok in your project, right? But if you use PGCEdit for something like changing the seamless joint for multiple angles to your VIDEO_TS folder, this selection should be always on in PGCEdit.
    >One gotcha though - early versions of the GEAR Spreadsheet for calculating the layer break seem to give the VTS to use the start sector from as VTS_xx_0.VOB - this is wrong.
    Yeah, luckily this seems to be fixed now in the GEAR guide calculator.
    Another way I've found that is useful what comes to the selecting the layer break from the layer break "window" for your project is this:
    In order to know exactly where the cell starts in your video, you can use IMGBurn to preview the cells, so that you can choose the most suitable cell from the "layer break window". This means following the SET THE LAYER BREAK IN GEAR Mastering Edition guide to the point where you have found out the "layer break window". Then when going to the IFOedit you can see the cells that fall in to this window. Mark them down in your notepad and open the VIDEO_TS in IMGBurn, set the BUILD mode, choose to burn the VIDEO_TS folder and proceed the workflow ahead until you get to the set the layer break window. In this window you can preview the cells of the project, being able to see the videos of the cells. Go through the cells you marked in the IFOedit and find the cell that starts in the least disturbing place where the possible pause might occur during the moment when your dvd player changes the layer. When you've chose your cell, cancel the process and continue what you were doing in the GEAR layer break guide.
    If there are any other methods for this test purpose, or if there is something I'm missing, please share?
    Question about choosing the layer break cell: Is it the fact that no matter how you have bitcalculated your project size when building it in Encore, the layer break window that the GEAR spreadsheet provides you, doesn't take this into account at all? Meaning, if you choose the biggest cell number from the layer break window to be the layer break cell, it will go over the 4% overhead at the outer layer edge? If this is the case, you shouldn't use the last cells from the layer break window at all? And should we always try to choose the cell with the smallest number no matter what (in order to make the layer break as far from the layer's outer edge)?

  • I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows.  My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over".  This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player.  Any suggsts

    I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows.  My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over".  This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player.  Any suggestions on how to overcome the 99 "Chapter limitation" that IPhoto has?  Has anyone heard or tried an app called Vilisoft?  I read good things but I am not sure if it will do what I want.
    Jim

    Then use multipel 99 picture slideshows. 
    You can have up to 8 or 9 slideshows per menu.  If you add a sub menu reduce that by 1 and add 8 more to the sub menu.  The top menu can have links to up to 8 or so submenus (depends on the theme) and each submenu can have up to 8 or so slideshows. 
    However, converting a very large slideshow to a QT movie as Terence suggested does not envoke the 99 slide limit in iDVD.  It just becomes a single video/movie file.  So you should not have a problem with exporting at the large size, 720 x 540,
    and dragging the resulting file into the iDVD menu being sure to avoid any drop zones.

    How do I select photos, projects to burn for a dvd?

    Frank's answer tells you hao to export your slideshow movie on a data DVD. But if you want to burn a video DVD that you can play in a DVD player you will need additional software, see Karsten Schlüter's User Tip:

  • M30x MultiDrive will not burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker

    Hi,
    My M30x MultiDrive will not burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker and other applications.
    I have also had problems burning CDs (unbranded) from Windows XP, built in utility.
    Does the multidrive have problems, with cheaper brand disks?
    Just to note,
    The laptop has been back to the support guys three times so far with various issues.
    (1) The hard drive failed.
    (2) The multidrive failed.
    (3) The motherboard got replaced, because of power failures, it wouldnt charge the battery or recognise that the power adapter was plugged in.
    Note: The harddisk, not the exhaust fan makes the most noise in mine!
    Thanks

    Hi
    As far as I know the preinstalled burning software (i.e. record now, drag ndrop) disabled the Windows XP burning option. In this case if you want to use the Movie Maker or Windows media player burning option, you should to enable this possibility.
    Please go to driver properties (right click). Please select the Recording tab. The option Enable CD recording on this drive should be marked.
    I use the Nero burning software and in my opinion its a one of the best burning programs. Furthermore you should try different CD/DVD manufacturers because some CDs and DVDs are not compatible with some drives. Check the TDK CDs and DVDs. I never had any problems with these medias.
    Best regards

  • Can iDVD create disc images from VIDEO_TS folder, and burn them?

    That first question is pretty self-explanatory.
    Background is this: I've downloaded some video folders/files from forum/torrent trading websites. When finished, I have a VIDEO_TS folder, often an EXTRAS_TS folder as well. A while back, I downloaded the app DVD IMAGER to create a disc image. Yesterday that stopped working effectively, so maybe I need to re-download, but I was wondering if there's just a better way? I also downloaded the app called BURN, but can't see yet how that creates disc images.
    Once I create that disc image, I need to burn it, and I was using Disk Utility for that. I'm really looking for some help and advice on the best way to perform these processes.
    Thank you, and let me know if I need to post in another forum.

    Additionally, do you have experience w/ DVD Imager?
    Nope. Like I said, Roxio's Toast Titanium is the top application (and is probably the one that most experienced people use).

  • Problems burning DVD from iDVD disc image

    I'm burning a disc image onto a DVD using Toast and can't seem to get the disc to automatically start or be read by either my home DVD player or my Powerbook G4 (through DVD player). I'm a little unclear if I burn the .img folder onto the DVD, the mounted drive containing the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS files, or the AUDIO_TS, VIDEO_TS files themselves. I've tried all of these and none have worked, which made me think that it was something wrong with my DVDproj file from whence the disc image was made.
    Do I have to have something in the box labeled "Drag content here to automatically play when disc is inserted" in teh MapView? I'd prefer it to just bring up the DVD menu.
    Thanks!

    Pre edit:
    Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
    There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
    Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

  • Burn DVD from video

    Somewhat a rookie so go easy on me. I produce a 30 minute TV show in Final Cut Express. I print to video for my media that I give the TV station. I'm often asked to present one of my episodes to a club, etc. A DVD is most convenient for this. I've never had luck printing a good DVD from FCE...I'm sure it's my technique. So, I got the smart idea of using my edited and finished video that I would send to the TV station and use iDVD OneStep (iLife 09) to produce a DVD. Everything seemed to go fine until I put my new DVD in a DVD player...no sound. The image quality is very good and very happy with that...but no sound. What have I done wrong or is iDVD simply not made for this purpose?

    Hi
    There is a lot to this. Some basic.
    DVD - is a standard in it self - CAN only do SD-Video (as old CRT-TVs at it's best)
    Neither iDVD, Roxio Toast™ or DVD-Studio Pro - can do anything better.
    (Roxio Toast 10 (11) Pro incl BD-component - Can burn to Blu-Ray and even small movies
    as this on Standard DVDs - BUT they NEED a Blu-Ray Player to be viewed)
    *DVD quality*
    1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (vers 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
    iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality *(movies + menus up to 120 min.)* - BEST
    • Best Performances *(movies + menus less than 60 min.)* - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) *(movies + menus up to 120 min.)* - slightly lower quality than above
    About double on DL DVDs.
    2.Video from
    • FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov *(not selfcontaining, no conversion)*
    • iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
    when the movie includes photos. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
    • iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
    3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly eg x4 (x1) (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
    This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application.
    4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
    use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc).
    5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
    6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW)
    7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
    8. Don’t burn more than three DVD at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while befor next batch.
    iDVD quality also depends on.
    • DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
    deliver anything better that this.
    HD-DVD was a shortlived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
    These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-layer.
    *Blu-Ray / BD* can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
    _ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl BD-component
    _ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
    _ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to plyback
    The BD-encoded DVDs can be playbacked IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
    Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
    • HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx 25Gb.
    less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
    • How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
    • Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
    • Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
    iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera recorde in = 100% to iDVD
    • What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
    other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
    Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
    strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
    Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
    • What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
    (If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JESDeinterlacer3.2.2 do the conversion)
    (Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
    (US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
    (EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
    UNLESS. They are plabacked by a Mac - then You need not to care
    • What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
    • How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
    Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
    Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
    Best / High Performances (most often my choise before Pro Quality)
    1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
    (x4 by some and may be even better)
    2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
    Region codes.
    iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
    DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
    1 = US
    2 = EU

    What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
    I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
    I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
    For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
    TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
    • Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
    • No other programs running in BackGround eg EnergySaver
    • Don’t let HD spinn down or be turned off (in EnergySave)
    • Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
    • Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
    • Set screensaver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
    pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show

  • Create DDP image from VIDEO_TS folder

    Hi. I have a mastered DVD-R for DVD-5 replication. The replicator is requesting a DDP image - can I create a DDP image with DVDSP4 from the VIDEO_TS folder? Or from a disc image of the DVD? I don't have the DVDSP project - just the disc. The replicator is waiting! Any help greatly appreciated!!

    Eric,
    OK. It may seem like I took off a little on you, and it's true, I’ll admit. But let me fully pour out the real reason that caused my replies, and address the underlying injustice that I believe you’ve done to me personally, to King and Jonathan in the threads here, and to the DVD industry as a whole; not to mention to yourself.
    I saw your offers to do jobs here for two good authors. The first thing I did was to go to your brand new website. I was shocked and dismayed to see some of its contents.
    Where do I begin?
    (For those who want to follow along: http://www.poweragemedia.com/services.html )
    First, your “one man shop just wanting to help out and not charge”, is advertising on that site that you have Eclipse, MEI DVD-Video Verifier, Sonic Scenarist, and player banks – all capabilities I have, and that I know you are not licensed for and/or do not have - any of them. So, It seemed that site was trying to say it had the same capabilities I have.
    Unbelievable!
    On your “Services” page under “Pre-Mastering and Disc Verification” you say:
    “With a final MEI and Eclispe report, you can be assured your title will be replicated without errors or issues. These reports check your disc's file structure and DVD specification compliance. In addition, we delivery all our titles on Type IV DLT tape - the replication standard.”
    Btw, two mistakes with the above quote – you misspell Eclipse, and no report ever checked any file structure or DVD Specification compliance.
    If this were true what you advertise, and that you indeed, have Eclipse and MEI, then you would have never heard a peep out of me, and you would be offering King and Jonathan a great service.
    But since I am the one with this capability in house (it doesn’t work cost and time-wise to try to contract these several testing services to others; that's why I can offer such a reasonable price to everyone), and am licensed with those tools, to see someone else I know that doesn’t have them, advertises to my market that they do, does cause a situation (to put it mildly).
    So, I repeat from my last reply, ‘what are you thinking, Eric?’
    And then, under the “Quality Control and Player Compatibility Testing” heading on the same Services page you say:
    “With several year experience and testing under out belts, your disc will have the widest player compatibility worldwide. We've developed our player banks based on proven data gathered over the last several years. This service was once only offered to major theatrical releases until now.”
    Since you seem to not have been truthful with the other capabilities you advertise, I’m going to have to question that you even have a player bank (I know you don’t have player “banks”). Oh, and you know that I’ve been offering player bank testing services for at least two and a half years already, why would you say “This service was once only offered to major theatrical releases until now”?
    The other services on your site, especially your “Complete Re-authoring Services” where you say:
    “Our most unique service! We Specialize in re-authoring or amending discs from which the source files have been lost or corrupted. Using only your VIDEO_TS or image file, we can add logos, change menu attributes, speed up functionality and compatibility and even add or change subtitles.
    This service is often useful to distributors who have recently bought older titles and wish to add their current logo or make other amendments to a disc.”
    This is also especially dangerous, as you’re talking about making radical changes to the structure of third party clients’ DVDs, and with no tools to check to see what you’ve done is correct!? Early on, during DVDAfterEdit’s development, I was testing customer’s projects to make sure their changes were good; some of them went into runs of over a million. The idea for TFDVD Research Labs sprung up during this time, as I could see I was helping unleash a great power, but I knew a lot of folks could get in big trouble. I spent the $10,000 to get the MEI License and dongle. I would be disrespecting my customers if I didn’t have it.
    Importing a simple VOB into another DVD, by itself, can cause lots of errors, if you don't know where else in the data to make some setting changes. I better stop with the description right here of what all could go wrong with adjustments in DVDAfterEdit, if one doesn't know what they're doing and have the verification tools.
    Am I not being consistent here? If I ‘jump’ on you for simply writing a third parties Image to DLT without verification tools, wouldn’t I be amiss if I didn’t call you on your falsely advertised ability to make and then verify massive changes to a good authors DVDs?
    So, Eric, what am I to think? How am I to respond? Do you see how I might think of this website of yours as ‘stealing’ from me, due to even a perceived 'illegal competition' (of course I know you're not competing with me!)? For sure, as is, your website takes from me my site's uniqueness, as far as listed capabilities, even if your site the way it is a lie.
    I’d be more than happy to help you get licensed with those tools. For sure, there would go your “do it for free” attitude in a heartbeat, when you lay out that kind of expenditure! And then you could be right with any clients; not to mention me.
    And as far as whether or not all projects should go through me, you’re right, they don’t have to; only the “doomed from the outset” Images should be sent to me, so I can prevent disaster for the production company (I’ve seen three company’s go under over the years from Disc playback blowups in the market and repeated Image submission failures; and too many bad studio/client/lost client situations to count). But since the authoring studio, nor you, is going to know which Images are the bad ones, it follows that they all be sent to me; which is the best advise someone can give an author that inquires - trying to be a 'nanny' won’t help them; both of you are put at risk.
    So, I hope it's clearer now: That you started offering to do services here, and at the same time put up a new website with fictitious major capabilities, the whole of which only I offer in our industry; I felt it my duty, as well as to act for legitimate business reasons, to say something.
    I fully expect you to make things right,
    Thanks,

  • Burn DVD from IPhoto slideshow

    I read an earlier discussion on this topic but it made the process of burning a DVD from an IPhoto slideshow (with ITunes music track) almost impossible. I did try bringing the show into IDVD but the "formatting" of the "shows" you can choose from aren't appealing. Is there an easy way to do this?

    I found it easier to create and burn DVD slide shows from within iDVD, but before creating the slide show, I read the instructions provided by the iDVD "Help" menu. I don't remember the exact steps, but I remember dragging a folder with the pictures into the iDVD window first. I duplicated the folder and saved to the Desktop first, since I had to use Elements to enhance the photos before creating the slide show. By duplicating or creating a copy of the folder with the photos, I did not change iPhoto's folder structure.
    You will find the instructions on iDVD's help, under "Getting Started," page 29. Preview will launch to show you all you need to know. However, since I could not copy and paste the text on Preview, I printed just page (29) with the instructions.
