Help Please: how can I burn a dvd movie without a theme?

I know this has been asked before. But none of the previous answers/suggestions seem to work. I've tried to use the "looping" method from the help menu, I still get a theme, now at the end of my video "package". And it doesn't "loop". I've tried to take a jpeg from photos and cover the theme using the option key, but that doesn't work either. I just want to have the option to be able to "turn off" the themes and create a clean video dvd for people who don't have time to choose on-screen buttons. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

Hey maybe you can help me. I was trying to figure out how to burn an iPhoto slideshow on iDVD, but don't want to use the lame Apple themes. I went to the link you pointed out about one-step iDVD's, but the problem is you have to have a movie, and iPhoto won't let me export my slideshow while keeping the music in sync. Insane.
So two questions... do you know how to export a slideshow to .M4V or .MOV without losing the sync between all the pictures and the music? I've got 88 slides all set to specific timing and Ken Burns effect, but every time I do an export the music becomes disconnected from the pictures and goes out of sync.
I did do an export to iDVD and it seemed to stay in sync but I can't figure out how to get rid of the ridiculous theme that iDVD is automatically using. I don't want a theme at all.
When is someone at Apple going to figure out that most people just want a plain wrapper?
Anyway, do you know any answers to my problems? Thanks. I've lost 4 slideshows this week as iPhoto keeps losing all the slide settings.

    how can I burn a dvd without themes?

    (From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
    How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
    1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
    2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
    3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
    Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
    4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
    5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
    Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
    • create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
    • Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
    • Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
    • Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
    • Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
    • Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
    • Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
    http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
    Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results.  That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option.  Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I burn a dvd now that I can't download premiere pro cs6 with Encore?

    How can I burn a dvd now that I can't download premiere pro cs6 with Encore?

    Here's what you do to get Premiere CS6 + Encore:
    Just click here (it's the same link as the more information link in CC.)
    or
    Go to your Creative Cloud application (on the menu bar) and go to Adobe Premiere CC and click more information
    There is a dropdown menu that says "Adobe Premiere Pro CC" near the top.
    Click it and the other option is "Adobe Premiere Pro CS6."  Select that.
    Now on the top right corner of the page it has a download button that says "Download Adobe Premiere Pro CS6."
    It is included in your CC subscription.
    However, a word of warning, you cannot use Adobe Dynamic Link to link to a Premiere CC sequence directly in Encore.  A CS6 sequence still works fine, but if you have a CC project, you will need to encode your sequence into a DVD friendly format (MPEG2 file).  I'm really hoping that Adobe changes this in their upcoming release, and just adds the ability to import CC sequences into Encore, then I would be fine with them not including it in the normal CC package, or updating it.  But I haven't seen anything about it in the release notes.
    A lot of people still want their DVDs and it's a lot easier to just dynamically link the sequence.

    Ask the store for a local Macintosh Users Group / Club... maybe someone there can help you. You might check pawn shops in the area for a machine that has a full set of disks. Apple will sell/mail you a set. I don't know of anyplace to legitimately download them... For what its worth any commercial (e.g. full retail version) install of OS X on disk should work for your machine.

  • How can I burn a dvd with a short movie file on my Imac so it will play on a dvd player? I keep getting an error message on my player "wrong disc type".

    How can I burn a small movie file to a dvd that will play on a dvd player? I keep getting an error message "wrong type of disc" on my player. My burner is built in to my monitor. Will I have to buy software such as Toast to burn with?

    I'm using the burner utility that came with the computer. The video is on I took with my small camera. I'm using a DVD-r disc and I drag the file to the disc icon then hit burn and everything seems ok. I can remove the disc and put it back in and see the file but if I put it in a DVD player it won't play, just get error message.

  • How can I upload my dvd movies to my ipad for an upcoming vacation

    How do I upload my dvd movies to my IPad 2?

    This would have to be one of the bug bears of iTunes: you can put a music CD in your Mac's optical drive and iTunes asks if you want to import it, but will not do the same for a movie you already own and want to watch on your Mac using iTunes!
    I haven't bought a DVD for years, and happily buy movies, or rather, when at home rent them from the iTunes Store.
    The only way to get movies onto your iPad is to buy movies from iTunes and sync the iPad (make sure you have ticked the sync movies option in the iTunes device settings AND tick only the movies you want in the movies list) or buy movies via the iTunes app on your iPad, or do stuff that is illegal.

  • How can I burn a DVD from iMovie from my Mac book pro

    Since the new mac book pro does not have a DVD drive and does not come with iDVD, I can't figure out how to burn DVD's from iMovie.
    I have the external drive and was under the impression that it would be able to burn DVD as well as play them. 
    Any help is greatly needed.  I have many movies I made in iMovie and need to burn to DVD for players.

  • How can I burn widescreen dvd's on iDVD

    I've been editing videos on Final Cut Express for a couple of years now, I had three OneToOne subscriptions and my trainers have not been able to tell me how to burn a widescreen DVD on iDVD, our main suspition was that it was not in High Definition, but we both agreed there had to be a way. Every time even after choosing "widescreen" menus and settings it would burn with the two side curtains and the video disfigured. Anybody would say "just do widescreen on the TV set, but that didnot work, people in the video would not get the right shape. I tried it on more than four TV sets. Help please, I am tired of printing my videos back to tape (once edited) to recapture them on my PC to burn on Nero.

  • HT1338 How can I burn a DVD to my hard disc?

    I wanto to burn a DVD into my Macbook pro hard disc and I can find a way to do so.
    Does anyone have a answer for that?
    Thanks  lot.
    Jucasom

    If you mean to burn a disk using your mac, you have two options.
    1) If you just need to burn the files (this will not automattically playback in a dvd player) than go to finder, click File and select 'New Burn Folder' . Add your files to the folder and then insert your dvd and burn.
    2) If you have a video you want to playback on a dvd player then you must use iDvd to setup the movie and burn using iDvd.
    Hope this helped.

  • How can I burn a DVD after I "Share" a project to a folder?

    Working wiht Premiere Elements 8 -
    I'm having issues with the DVD burner on on my Win 7 machine and I'm looking for a way to burn multiple DVD's more efficiently. I have Shared the project to a folder and want to be able to burn the DVD's from the folder. This will save me a lot of time as the project won't need to keep encoding every time I try to burn the disk. Buring multiple disks doesn't seem to work for me either.
    Any ideas on how to make this happen?
    Thanks,
    Pat

    Thanks Bill. I downloaded the shareware and started the burn (before I left for work this morning), so I'll be able to test it and see how well it works...
    I'm sure it will be fine - but I'll let you know how it goes and update the "Question has been answered" next reply
