Creating interactive DVD from HTML

I want to create interactive DVDs from html. The end product will be a website stored and browsable on the DVD using the remote control to navigate the menus. Can I do this with Encore?

  • Creating an interactive DVD from a Keynote presentation

    Does anyone know how to create an interactive DVD from a Keynote Presentation?
    I tried the export to Quicktime option, and then brought that QT movie into iDVD. The problem is that the interactive pauses between slides that I get with the QT version, isn't there in iDVD. The transitions turn into chapters, and when you play the DVD, one chapter goes right into another.
    I'm sure someone has dealt with this before.

    I should make something clear here...
    Be careful with terminiology. WIth Keynote 3 you can create a linear DVD, that works the same way a show in Keynote works if you plan to move through the show in the order you built it (complete with all the builds). What it does NOT appear to do is allow you to make a non linear DVD, which is, if you put a button/hyperlink on a slide, it won't work in the DVD. See my other thread about this for the reason why. I'm praying the next version of DVD Studio Pro will read iDVD projects, which would allow us to customize what Apple creates for us automatically.

  • 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!

  • 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?
    Tia,

  • Creating a DVD from camcorder video tape

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Create RSS feed from HTML DB?

    I've been using a streaming RSS feed extension in Firefox for several months now and get feeds from all over including asktom.oracle.com and http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/index.html. Very cool.
    Recently I've installed HTML DB and have begun creating some basic reports - nothing very dramatic as I'm just learning. Now I'd like to begin sending out RSS feeds from my HTML DB application to my RSS extension in my Firefox browser but can't find an easy way to do it.
    I see several posts of others wishing to do the opposite (read RSS feeds into their HTML DB application) but nothing that shows how to create a feed from HTML DB.
    I looked at Tom's description of his method at http://asktom.oracle.com/~sdillon/rss.html but this seems very cumbersome to me - is there an easier way?
    I would think that there should be a "create RSS" feed button somewhere in the HTML DB interface when I'm defining the page's attributes.
    Thanks in advance for any advice/suggestions.

    Actually, Tom's method is not as hard as it looks.
    You can really just copy it all into your own procedure and replace the inner query.

  • 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.

  • How do I create a DVD from iMovie with menus? What iDVD use to do!

    iDVD has disappeared on my new MacBook Pro, so how do I create a DVD with menus and everything?

    Hi
    You can not do that - without any DVD authoring software as iDVD.
    So either
    • Treat to return Your new Mac (within 14 days) if Apple doesn't give You iDVD
    • Buy a second handed iLife'09 (pref as You then get all Themes - not so in iLife'11 - AND - after program-up-date they will be the same version anyway)
    • Buy another DVD-authoring software as Roxio Toast™ (costs a bit - contanin lot's of other things too - that was of great value to me (not so to everyone)
    • Use the free (and very simple/basic) BURN™ - as You at least can get Your Movie onto a Playable DVD
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

  • Trying to create new DVD from selected portions of existing DVD

    I have a DVD I created of my son singing from a video we copied into the Mac several months ago. I can't find the file on the MAC and I'm not sure it would help with my objective if i found it. The video tape has been taped over.
    I want to capture selected portions of the old DVD onto a new DVD.
    Using a camcorder and a different tape, I learned tha I-movie lets me capture clips directly from the camcorder.
    How do I create clips from the old DVD and import them into iMovie like the camcorder allowed me to do. Once I create the clips, is it difficult to create a new DVD from the clips. This is a new process to me. It may be an easy step I'm missing, but missing that step is a show stopper. Can someone help. -- thanks

    Hi
    Tapeing over an old tape - has it's major disadvantages. You'll never get that
    same good quality again. The DVD disc has a very much lower quality than the original
    what ever way You choose.
    Easy: Connect Your Camera to a set-top DVD player and copy to a new tape.
    Best quality I've got.
    More elaborate (read pricey) use a video-bridge (some Cameras can do this)
    Lazy and not that expencive: Buy Roxio Toast™ and let it convert back to streamingDV
    that iMovie can handle. Probably about the same quality as copy to tape.
    And don't put a mini DVD disc into Your Mac. You need a trayloaded DVD to do this.
    or *Read what Karsten collected* (not all apply to You - please be selective):

    DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and

    QuicktimeKirk stated: I use the analogy of the old Polaroid
    "instant" cameras. Push the button, wait for the print to develop and
    show it off. ..
    for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in
    recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
    • DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    • Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
    • VisualHub (23.32$)
    • Cinematize >60$
    • Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    • Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
    • connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
    • Drop2DV (free) a free tool claiming to convert DVDs into dv-stream...
    • Use iSquint for your conversions : www.iSquint.org

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to create a DVD from several FCP projects?

    I'm strugeling to create a DVD. I feel like a fool because it used to go so easy with my old computer but with my new Mac it doesn't seem to work.....
    What I'm doing:
    - Footage MTS 1920x1080, 24Mbps .MOD files
    - I upload them from my camera into FCP
    - I make projects (let say 20 different ones)
    - I want to put all the projects on 1 DVD as seperate 'chapters/ icons'
    - With FCP I can only put one project at the time on a DVD, so that doesn't work
    - I bought DVD creater to put the exports of FCP on a DVD, problem I can not create a export out of FCP that will be recognised by dvd creater.
    I know that I will be able to convert my FCP export into something else by some programme. But this is a work around, I don't really want to do such a extra step because the quality will be lower.
    Ik hope someone has a solution for me!

    Hello T,
    I have just exported the slideshow from iPhoto to the iPhoto Slideshow Folder, opening iDVD.
    I selected create a new project as EJ3 in MoMs folder hit CREATE and iDVD quit, disappears,
    THE iDVD icon is still active on the doc but how ever it is simply GONE,
    this is the second time i tried this. I will restart the computer and come back and try it again.
    OK. I restarted the Mac, opened iDVD, selected MAGIC iDVD and in the movie section EJ3 was no where to be found.
    I will now close iDVD and try create a new project, saved MY GREAT DVD to the desktop.
    Cannot find EJ3 or the other exported iPHOTO slide shows under Elizabeth.....
    they are here
    but I can't select, or import, or open in iDVD.
    I am totally lost and thinking that this can't be done for some unknown reason.
    I am thinking if iMOVIE is the way to go OR if I should delete iDVD and reinstall it from the iLIFE disk.
    I am sorry for all this failure.
    at a loss right now.
