Create DVD from iPhoto slideshow i created?

How do I create a DVD from a Slideshow residing in IPHOTO?

1. Export it. This makes a QuickTime movie of it.
2. Select an app to author the DVD - iDVD if you have iy, Toast or similar
3. Create a DVD project in that app
4. Add the movie to the project
5. Burn it.

Creating DVD from iPhoto Slideshow with music

I'm trying to create a DVD of a slideshow with music that was created previously in iPhoto and then "Shared with iDVD". The .m4v file located in Pictures> iPhoto Slideshows is not accessible in iDVD. The only way I can make it work is to spend the hour or so required to start from scratch by clicking "Share with iDVD" from an open iPhoto slideshow, thus creating a .m4v file and then going directly to the iDVD menu that's automatically opened at the end of the "Share with iDVD" process. Any ideas?

Welcome to the forums.
When I'm going from iPhoto to iDVD with a slideshow, I get good results by Exporting from iPhoto to a large-sized Quicktime movie. I can preview the video and music, and if I'm happy, I can then just drop the Quicktime file onto the iDVD menu area (not into a drop zone, that's just eye candy). It's been a reliable process for me.

Unable to create dvd from Iphoto slideshow?

I am unable to create a dvd slideshow from Iphoto. Any suggestions?

Yes. Here's some suggestions for getting help:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

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.

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.

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.

How do I burn a DVD from iPhoto slideshow?

Hi all. I am using iPhoto '11 (ver 9.4.2) on my MacBook Pro. I also have iMovie 11 on my Mac. How can I create a DVD that can be played in a DVD player, for ultimate use at an upcoming party (to be played in DVD player and shown on a projector screen)? I had read somewhere abotu clicking the "Share" text and then select iDVD, but that is no longer an option in this iPhoto. Instead, it offers to "Burn" but then a pop-up dialog box clearly states that the DVD would be for iPhoto viewing only.... but I know there has to be another way. Help1?
A little more specs: Although I have several thousand photos on my HDD, I created a new Album of 200 photos for this particular slidehow. I added a playlist and can press "Play Slideshow" within iPhoto. It plays and looks beautifully (can;t get enough of Ken Burns effect!). But, of course, I need to get this onto a DVD? Any thoughts?
So, that is the first question.
Relatedly, if I COULD, I would like to insert a few video (small 10 second snippets) into the slideshow, and mute the music during those segments - is that something I shoudl do in iMovie.... and then how to export to DVD?
Thanks.
Ezra

If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
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, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is 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.

Is there any way to get 720x576 (ie DV Pal) from iphoto slideshow?

I have tried the iphoto forum and have been directed here. Is there any way to get 720x576 (ie DV Pal) for an export from iphoto slideshow? I want to export 200+ photos with random transitions and the ken burns effect. Imovie offers offers automatic ken burns effect via project properties but I can't find a way to add random transitions automaticcally. Is it possible? I want to add the exported file to a movie in Final Cut Studio. Normally I have to resort to using adobe photoshop elements 5 and premiere elements 3 on my bootcamp partition. I would love to do this all in Mac OSX - since leaving Windows, this is the only thing that forces me to use that lousy operating system!
Thanks in advance for any help.

Not directly. But you can do it with a bit of external help. Create a slideshow project in iPhoto using the "Random" transitions and auto KBE you want. Then export the slideshow as a 640x480 MPEG4/AAC 30 fps full motion MOV file. Drop the file to MPEG Steamclip and select the "Export to DV" File menu option. The select the DV format, PAL standard, and aspect you want. (I would normally select the "Frame Blending" option in the main menu when going from 30 fps to 25 fps.)

Burned DVD from iphoto but pics are black

I burned a DVD from iphoto that contained a large file of pictures. Upon opening the disk I could see the pictures. However, after scrolling through a few of them, my iphoto became extremely slow and then the pictures would not come back. Instead of seeing a picture I see a black box with a dotted frame where the picture should be.
The DVD worked when I opened APSE and I edited my pictures that way.
But why is my iphoto not cooperating with a disc that was created with iphoto?
Is it because I created the disc using an older version of iphoto?

Has something to do with me renaming the rolls of film.

Playback movie burned to DVD from iPhoto

When I burn a movie to a DVD from iPhoto I get an error message on playback that says "the movie contains an invalid data reference and will not playback". Any suggestions?

Also, the movies don't appear on the DVD when I play it in the DVD/Blue Ray in the other room.
You can't burn a DVD like that with iPhoto. You need an authoring application like iDVD or Toast to correctly format the disk.

What is the best way to back up photos and videos to a dvd from iPhoto, not in iPhoto format but just in jpeg format to access on either windows or mac

what is the best way to back up photos and videos to a dvd from iPhoto, not in iPhoto format but just in jpeg format to access on either windows or mac

When you export the videos out of iPhoto be sure to select Kind = Original. Otherwise you'll just get an image file of the first frame of the video.

Creating DVD from pictures

Hi all
Pretty new to the iMovie thing. Need to know whats the best app for creating a DVD of some vacation pics. I want to add titles, chapters (500 pics) & music. I tried exporting a slideshow from iPhoto into iDVD but it didn't play right (stopped playing halfway thru) on the set top DVD player I used....HELP!!
thanks
Dave

It really depends on what type of things you want to do with your photos.
You can set up your slideshow in iPhoto, add music and then import that into iDVD.
Or, you can import the photos into iMovie, add titles, transitions, effects, music and creative themes, you can use some thirdparty effects like 'Photo to Movie' for variety.
Have a look at Apple's iLife site for some tutorials to get you started.

Trying to make a DVD for my DVD player from iPhoto slideshow

I have made an iPhoto slideshow of 100+ photos and 4 songs (from iTunes). I'm now trying to convert that slideshow to a DVD I can send to others and watch on my TV's DVD player. I used "Send to iDVD". When the transfer was completed, iDVD opened and I could play the slideshow (although only the first song would play; the rest of the slideshow was silent). Specifically, what are the next steps to get this slideshow into a format that I can burn onto a DVD?

To get the highest quality images in your slideshow, create it in iDVD. Place your photos in one album and your 4 songs in a playlist. Create a new iDVD project, then click the + button and add a new slideshow. Inside the slideshow workspace, under Media/Photos locate the album with your photos and drag it to the slideshow pane. The photos will be in the same order as in your iPhoto album. In Media/Music locate the playlist and drag it to the slideshow sound button. You can have your photo titles and comments appear in your slideshow if you like. You can also have navigation buttons so the user can advance manually. Another feature is that you can include the image files on the DVD so that anyone with the DVD can load the photos into his computer.
Limitations: no Ken Burns effect, only one type of transition applies to the whole slideshow. Many DVD players can't read more than 99 chapters, so the slideshow may pause or even stop after 99 photos (in an iDVD slideshow each photo is a DVD chapter). To avoid this, you can divide your photos and create more than one slideshow.
Advantage: While you can export your iPhoto slideshow, the photo dimensions are a bit smaller than the slideshow created by iDVD (or so I've read). This is why many people prefer to let iDVD create the slideshow.

Creating DVD from digital camcorder

My question was almost answered before.
I want to create a DVD from my camcorder using a mini DV Cassette.
If I use the idvd and go automatic I get no scene selections on my DVD.
If I go from camcorder to imovie to idvd I get a several different scenes while watching the DVD.
In imovie - my movie is separated by day.
Let me cut to the chase.
Can I create a DVD that will allow me to watch the DVD straight through without stopping automatically between scenes and will allow me to select clips/scenes by DAY.

Copy the .img file to your Desktop and mount it by double clicking on it..
Launch Disk Utility and select the disk image in DU's left hand pane.
Select Burm from the Images menu.
Insert a DVD disk and select the slowest burn rate possible in order to produce the best quality burned DVD.
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.
