Create a dvd from scan photos on iMac

Is it possible to create a movie on (DVD) from scan photos? And will it be compatible to play on a PC?

You can create an automatically advancing, with some fading and sliding effects, slideshow of your scanned Photos in the app "iPhoto" on a DVD on your iMac.

  • Create a dvd from past project and event moved to external hard drive

    i have version 7.04 DVD. Moved several projects and events to external hard drive. How do I go to "existing dvd projects" and create a dvd from a completed past dvd project? do i have to move the project and event back to the iMac hard drive..thanks

    A iDVD project contain links to the various elements you have used to make the project. Unless you have actually saved the project as an iDVD Project Archive (an option under FILE in iDVD) which can be a very large file because it actually contains all the elements used in the project with adjusted links, simply moving a project (and/or elements used in the project) breaks all the necessary links. Sometimes you can reestablish the links (iDVD usually gives you a chance to try), but it can't always be done.
    Good luck.

  • Novice.  Creating a DVD from camcorder - help please..

    Hi all,
    I am tasked with creating a DVD from some of my dads camcorder tapes. Can anyone provide a simple advice list. I assume that iDVD (which i have never used) will be the software to use?
    Look forward to hearing from you helpful and intelligent people out there.
    From a complete simpleton.
    Kind regards,
    Alan

    Hello, Alan,
    First, you need to determine if these tapes are digital or not. If they are not digital, you will need to convert them into a digital media format that your version of iMovie can accept. (For example, iMovie 6 can accept only DV footage).
    Does your dad have the camcorder that he used to record the tapes? If his tapes are not digital, you can connect his camcorder to a digital camcorder and record each tape to digital miniDV tape. I think it is easier to use iMovie 6 for your movie-making, especially if you are thinking about editing this footage, cropping out bad parts, adding titles, effects and/or audio clips. That is why I am recommending recording to miniDV tapes.
    Having the original footage on miniDV digital tapes is also a good way to store the originals, takes up very little space.
    If his tapes are some other format, post back for info regarding how to proceed,
    What version of iMovie do you have? I am assuming that you have iMovie08 since you are posting in iDVD08. As stated, I recommend that you do this project in iMovie 6. If you don't have it on your computer, you can download it here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html
    And, I recommend viewing this tutorial: http://www.apple.com/support/imovie/tutorial/
    Once you have the footage on the miniDV tapes, you can connect your digital camcorder to your computer's Firewire port, open a new iMovie project and import the footage. You should limit each iMovie to about an hour and a half, if possible. A single-layer DVD can hold about 2 hours of content maximum. It doesn't matter what the size of the iMovie is in GB, only its length matters for iDVD.
    After you import the footage you want, you can edit the clips and place them on iMovie's timeline in the order you wish. You can choose to add titles, transitions, effects and audio. iMovie has one video and two audio tracks so you can easily see what you are doing. If you want to have different chapters(scenes), you mark them in iMovie. Another advantage of iMovie 6 over iMovie 8 is that you can put chapter markers where you want them, not just at specified intervals.
    After your movie is finished, close iMovie.
    Open iDVD, create a new project in which to place your movie.
    You should do this tutorial before you begin to work in iDVD:
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#idvd-create-63
    Once you get your first iDVD project ready to burn, do a 'save as disk image' and then burn the actual DVD from the disk image using Disk Utility. You will need to use a good brand of DVD-R disks, such as Verbatim or Maxell. Memorex has been problematic for many, and don't use a cheap store brand. Select a slow burn speed, 4x or less.
    That's a brief summary.....
    Post back if you need further information! Good luck with your task!

    The easiest way (if you don't want to do any editing)
    buy a dvd player/recorder, connect the video out of the camcorder to the dvd recorder input.

  • How do I create a DVD from an iMovie '08 Project?

    How do I create a DVD from an iMovie '08 Project? I followed the directions in the help section but when I open iDVD, my project is "grayed out" and I cannot open it in iDVD.
    Rich Rector

    In general, in imovie Share to Media Browser or Share to iTunes.
    Then open iDVD. Open the Media Browser in iDVD (at bottom right of window). Navigate to your movies and you should see the movie you made. Drag it in to the iDVD project.

  • F10 - create video DVD from recorded TV programme

    When I try to create a DVD from a recorded TV programme on my Qosmio F10 I get the following message-
    "Media in the CD/DVD drive is not writable by Media Center"
    I know that the media is writable by the Qosmio under normal windows but under Media Center it doesn't work on any format of DVD - data, video or DVD slide show.
    Any ideas?

  • Using "One Step DVD from Movie" on my IMac 10.8.6 using Verbatim DVD-R ("Life Series") 4.7 GB 16X 120, I get a wide angle version of my two minute story rather than the 3X4 standard aspect ratio that I normally get and want.  Help!

    While using "One Step DVD from Movie"  using DVD-R Verbatim ("Life Series" 4.7  16 X  120 min) on my IMac 10.6.8 I get a wide angle aspect ratio on the DVD not the standard 3X4 aspect ratio.  The Quicktime Movie is is standard 3X4 aspect ratio and the video video footage is standard 3X4 aspect ratio?  Advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Try this basic troubleshooting fix :
    1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 -  reboot.
    4 - launch IDVD and try again.
    Personally I would not the the one step method but create the iDVD project  from scratch so you can make sure the widescreen option is not selected in the preferences and you can follow this workflow:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • How do I create a DVD from iMovie when iDVD is no longer included in iLife (Lion).

    I've been doing video editing for many years on PC using the Pinacle software. I have for years wanted to switch to a Mac that is known to be far better for this purpose than PC. A few days ago I bought an IMAC 27 inch, 3.1 MHz and was impressed with the Imovie program until I was going to burn the project onto a DVD as I had read about and explained in all Apple stores I've visited.
    I realize to my great surprise that in the Lion version is no longer possible to burn a DVD using IDVD as mentioned in the help menu and in the Appel documentation online. I have tried with various other applications as well with no success. It is completely incomprehensible that Appel actually has removed this option from Ilife (IDVD) and I feel cheated.
    I have now spoken with three different people from the support and none of them can give me a good explanation of how to burn an Imovie project onto DVD with this new operating system (which actually is a basic need). All documentation I find on internet and in the help section refers to iDVD, which is not included in Lion, and it does not even appear that I can buy the program separately. The new operating system is marketed as an improvement and this I find misleading advertising when such a basic need as creating a DVD is no longer possible (or extremely complicated). I do not experience that I have received the product I have been informed about in several stores and on Apple's website and considering of course to raise the entire purchase.
    Does anybody know how to do this without iDVD? I want to create both a DVD frontpage and chapters as I have been doing on my pc for years.

    Does anybody know how to do this without iDVD?
    You can't.  You MUST buy iDVD.
    Tell Apple how you feel.  They do read these comments, and often react.  Be nice.
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    (On the above link, you will notice under Mac apps they do indeed show, iDVD!)
    If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 on disk (don't get the download) for about $29. You WILL get iDVD.
    or if you like downloads, go to the Apple Store via the Store button at the top, (not the App Store) and look for iLife 11 it will list iWeb and iDVD.  It IS available online.

  • Creating a DVD from FCEHD

    I have just completed a 50 minute project (3.62GB) in FCEHD v3.0 on a G-4 Mac with OS 10.4.3 and want to burn it onto a DVD. The program contains 8mm movie clips, scanned photos and video clips with voice over and/or music background. There are no chapter markers needed from my standpoint. This FCE project has been exported as a QT Movie (v 7.0.3) to my desktop. Can someone give me SIMPLE directions on how to burn this project onto a DVD? I presume I need to export(import) the QT Movie into idvd (v 5.0.1) to burn it onto a DVD in order to have a DVD playable on a DVD player. Since the project is self contained, I do not want to use "themes", music etc from the idvd software. Thanks much. Jack Akerboom

  • Creating a DVD from iMovie '09

    I have created a movie using still images from a trip. When I send this project to iDVD there is a noticeable fall off in quality. Is there a way to create a DVD without having to sacrifice quality in the process?

    Hi
    Is there a way to create a DVD without having to sacrifice quality in the process?
    Simple answer is NO
    But there are several layers to this.
    A. DVD is as standard only SD-Video - there are no HD-DVD (to be mentioned)
    B. iMovie shows a much better picture than any DVD can support
    C. Share to iDVD - Is not the choice I make - I do "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (Not HD) and in iDVD click Media Button - Movie and select it here. This gives as good result that iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 can do.
    D. What file format on the photos used is of importance - I use .jpg - NEVER .bmp
    E. iMovie'08 to 11 - are not the optimal choise if one do a SlideShow or a Movie with lot's of important photos - as they all just delivers every second line over to iDVD = Loss of definition. Better is iMovie up to HD6 or FinalCut any version or for SlideShow - FotoMagico™ - As they all delivers full interlaced video to iDVD.
    So as You see - a simple question - doesn't allways have a simple answer in spit of that it's a Mac and so on.

  • Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from I-Photo not viewable by a Windows PC?

    Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from iPhoto not viewable on a Windows PC?

    Because you did it wrong? It's hard to know unless you tell us what you did.
    What should work:
    Select the photos you want to share
    File -> Export and export them to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to the disk with the Finder.

  • How do I create a DVD from existing M2V and AC3 files?

    I have previously used Compressor 4 to render a M2V file and an AC3 file from which I burned a DVD 'job'.  Now, a week later, I wish to go back and burn another DVD from these files, (without rendering them again).  How do I use these EXISTING files to create another DVD (using Compressor 4)?
    Thanks,
    Geoff

    If you anticipate that you may need multiple disks, the way to do it is to select Hard Drive as your output device/ That makes a disk image, from which you can burn multiple copies.
    WIth the separate files already created, you could bring them into an authoring program like Toast. But if you want to re-use them in Compressor, I think your only option is to multiplex them in something like MPEG STreamclip and bring the new file back into Compressor.
    Probably easier to redo the Compressor job with the original source.

  • How to create a dvd from iMovie '11

    I have created a video in iMovie and am trying to transfer it to a DVD.  However, there is no Export function.  When I share the movie to a file it uses a .mp4 format which is then not able to be be burned to a disc.  In the past, the extension was .mov and I was able to create a DVD without any problems.

    You need iDVD.
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.
