How to combine 3 completed short movies into one disc?

I made 3 projects, created disc images, and burned them successufully, one at a time. Since they are only about 15 minutes each, I would like to now combine them into one DVD. I want to keep the originals as is, meaning the same different DVD theme each one has. Is there a way to do that? I tried to use Toast, but it can't import some files and tells me there is a mac error. Can I create a new DVD theme, sort of introducing the 3 projects, them import the 3 completed projects into it, so that it will play the different iDVD thems for each? Any help would be appreciated.

hey there MaxFS,
you can put all 3 movies into 1 DVD project, but you can't have 3 themes in one project--no version of iDVD works that way. neither does any version of Toast. 1 Project=1 Theme. if you have submenus you can make the submenu page be different from the main menu page.
good luck.

How do I combine several short movies into one large project?

You’ll often find a longer project much easier to work with if you work on it in shorter pieces. Doing this can minimize system lugging and maximize program responsiveness as well as reduce the likelihood that you’ll run into problems when you try to output your finished movie.
Once each segment is finished and output, open a new project and combine the segments into a final mix.
In order to do with this minimal loss of quality and maximum performance, you’ll want to output each segment in its ideal video format – a format that the program is designed to work with natively and won’t have to re-render. Instructions for outputting each of these ideal video formats are found below.
The ideal source video format for a standard definition video project is the DV-AVI, although DV-MOVs will also work.
The ideal source video format for a high definition video project is either the 1920x1080 HDV MPEG or the 1920x1080 MTS AVCHD file.
For standard video
If you’d like to export your video project – or even a portion of your project – so that you can import it into a standard definition Premiere Elements video project on a Windows computer, use Publish & Share/Computer/AVI with the DV preset option. The file you output will have an .avi suffix
The Macintosh equivalent to the DV-AVI file is the DV-MOV. To output a DV-MOV file from your project, use Publish & Share/Computer/MOV with the DV preset. The file you output will have a .mov suffix.
For high-definition video
If you’d like to export your video project – or a portion of your project – from an HDV (tape-based high-definition) project for use in another HDV project, use Publish & Share/Computer/MPEG with the MPEG2 1920x1080i 30 preset (or 1920x1080i 25 for PAL).
If you’re working on an Full AVCHD project, output your video by clicking Publish & Share/Computer/AVCHD and using the M2T 1920x1080i preset (with the appropriate frame rate). For more information on outputting AVCHD video.
Both forms of high-definition video will output with the .m2t suffix.

The best way is to use an audio editor. A popular one that is free, and has both Windows and Mac versions, is Audacity.
If you want to try to do it with iTunes, you will need to burn the tracks to a CD, and then rip back from the CD using the "join tracks" option. However, this method will not give you any control over the transitions.

How to combine several short movies using a single theme

I have several completed short movies I'd like to combine with a single theme allowing the various movies to function as chapters. Some of the movies were completed totally in iMovie 6. Others were edited in iMovie 8 or 9, then transferred to iMovie 6 for music. My operation system is version 10.5.7. I also have the "Missing Manuals" for iMovie & DVD 6, 8 & 9, but can find no help in them for my question. Can this be done?

Unfortunately, iMovie doesn't allow concatenation of multiple projects into one (feature request for iM10!)... One workaround that I use, is to render the QT files using the Export option, and then use QT Pro to concatenate the individual movies. You can re-import the final movie back into iMovie (any version) to do any further edits.
Here's a great demo on how to use QT to merge movies: http://web.me.com/jrwalker4/QuickNotes/QTPro/QTPro.html

Trouble Combining 2 QT Movies Into One

Help! I have QT Pro but this is driving me nuts! I am using select all, copy and then paste to combine 2 separate 20 second QT movies into one 40 second consolidated movie. The trouble is that when the play head reaches the beginning of the second movie, it continues to advance, but the sound and motion simply stop at the end of Move 1 and beginning of Movie 2.
I think it may have something to do with the little tabs that slide back and forth for include, exclude but I'm not sure. Also, when I select all and then try to use the "Copy" command, its grayed out. I have to click on either one of the first or second movies before "Copy" becomes available to me. Something is going on but I can't figure it out, despite several hours of "playing with it", checking the forums here and calling Tech Support at Apple.
Yikes! has anybody else run into this before?

By the way, I think I got 2 of these cotton picken files to join together seamlesy last night. I need to kind of confirm that and (if I can double check and then replicate my success) will explain how.Would be interested in seeing the result. Streamclip should provide best results for two reasons -- 1) it allows "near" (if not frame-level) setting of in/out points (unlike QT which only operates at specific GOP intervals of MPEG-1/2 content and 2) it allows you to "fix" timecode breaks that can wreak havoc in QT playback.
Normal procedure would be:
1) Load, trim file segments if needed, and re-save raw files using the "Save as..." option in case of "accidents" later (I usually name the files so they appear in the order I wish to merge them) Don't have to do this but I tend to be "accident" prone
2) Use the "Open Files..." option to navigate to your "safe" files and load them as a group to Streamclip work area
3) Use "Fix timecode breaks" option (Command-F) to remove any possible timecode breaks between/within segments
4) Use "Save As..." option again to save the "merged" data file
You mentioned an interest in old TV shows, my favorite is Bonanza.My "biggie" is the original Doctor Who series. However, am also collecting the old Supeman (George Reeves) shows, The Avengers, Space Patrol, Commando Cody, Tom Corbett, as well as, things like the old Flash Gordon serials and SciFi "B" classic movies from the 50's and 60's. Heare's a SAMPLE FILE.

How to combine three PDF documents into one PDF document ?

Hi Folks,
I have a requirement to combine 3 PDF documents into One PDF document, let me explain clearly.
I have developed two Adobe forms in T.code SFP and I have one PDF docuement which is stored in DMS (T.code CV02n), and now I want to combine these three PDF documents into one pdf.
I have tried below link, but only 50% can able to do my requirement.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/404e4dc1-a79c-2d10-a7b5-9a266dfed9cb?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
Is there any best solution to fix this.
Best Regards,
Naresh Kumar.

Hi Lukas,
Thanks for your response on this.
Krisztian's solution will work/merge only for Adobe forms created in T.code SFP but can't merge with the pdf document which is sitting in CV02N (This doesn't have Adobe form name in T.code SFP), this is what I understood.
And one more bad news is we are not able to install that unix file in our client system, it is not compatable.
Best Regards,
Naresh Kumar.

How to combine multiple podcast folders into one

When I open itunes Podcast section I find that it shows multiple folders or podcasts with the same name. I want these to show up as just one podcast. How can I do this?
For example:
When I look at my HD>itunes>Podcast folder; I see one folder called "Ask Dave", but in my itunes podcast column it show three separate "Ask Dave" podcasts. I want it to show only one.
Similar but different example:
A podcast that I have subscribed to for several years has changed its name slightly; Podcast_Photoshop User TV, Photoshop User TV, Photoshop TV, NAPP TV.
I have 4 folders as I listed in my itunes>Podcast folder. But in the itunes window it lists 9 folders: 1 - Podcast_Photoshop User TV, 5 - Photoshop User TV, 2 - Photoshop TV, 1 - NAPP TV.
These are all the same podcast, and I'd to have just one folder / entry in my itunes window called Photoshop TV and have everything show up in one place.
Is there a way to consolidate these and others?
I'm running Leopard and iTunes10
thanks in advance for any help with this.

Your old account is the one you migrated, but it has been renamed because the new account had the same name. "Fixing" this is a bit complicated. It is possible to transfer data from one account to the other. See Transferring files from one User Account to another.
A cleaner solution is to do this:
Create a temporary new admin user account with a completely different username.
Log into this new account.
Delete the new account you created before migrating.
Delete the old account you migrated that has the changed name.
Re-migrate your old account from the Mini.
Log into the newly migrated account and delete the temporary account.
And, the simplest solution is to use the migrated account as-is and delete the account you originally made on the new computer.

Combine 2 iMovie projects into one movie

Referring to thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1172735&tstart=0
I was able to combine both movies into one iMovie, after lots of hard drive clearing! I also had a problem with QT export quality, but remembered to export in "expert setting" as a DV stream, which worked well.
Follow up questions:
1. In QuickTime, is the "Expert Setting" / DV Stream output better, worse or the same as "Full Quality" export setting? I might be going through unnecessary pains to wait ou thte Expert Setting when Full Quality could be just as good and take less time, I'm not sure.
2. My movie is long - I know that DVDs hold 120 minutes of footage, not counting the themes. I think my movie, without themes, is about 2 hours long (it's a documentary). I'd also like to include some supplemental footage that will easily cover 1 additional hour. I believe the next step is to burn the final movie onto 2 DVD discs, if not 3. Once I create chapter markers in iMovie and begin burning, will the system ask for an additional DVD or do I need to figure out how to divide this up ahead of time?
Thank you!

same.
.. will the system ask for an additional DVD or do I need to figure out how to divide this up ahead of time?
no, iDVD isn't that clever (hey, suggestion to programmers!)
you have to split your iM project into 2/3 parts manually ...
if enough disk space is avail, you can simply select a few clips (=half/third of project) and choose 'selected clips only' in the Export dialog to create the 'parts'; drag that export into yoir iDVD project. when the disk is finished, you can erase the export-file, choose the next clips... repeat.

How can I combine two itunes accounts into one?

How can I combine two itunes accounts into one?

Items purchased from the iTunes Store are permanently associated with the account from which they were originally purchased. Apple provides no way to change this.
However, if you wish to put content from two accounts into a single iTunes library, you can easily do so. Use the command File > Add File (or Folder) to Library.

No it is not possible. Content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, and Apple does not provide a way to change it.

How do I combine two slide shows into one?

I need to combine two slide shows into one and put the whole thing into a loop for a Kiosque. Can someone help?

Drag and drop the slides from the Thumbnail viewer (left side of the window) from one Keynote to the other. They should copy with all the Actions and Transitions still in place. Then go to Inspector>Document Tab and check the box that says to Loop slideshow.

Pls advise current info as to combining 3 imovie projects into one imovie. I will finish with idvd.
I am in a rush today to complete a video for my brother's memorial for tomorrow. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply, Klaus. I'm just now getting to try your suggestion to copy and paste from timeline rather than drag and drop from clipviewer. Alas, it seems to be choking terribly on the transfer. This video is not a 60 minute movie, either; it's about ten minutes. I has about 60 files to it. I did get to the point where I felt confident enough to empty the trash and save the project, so I assume the clips that are there are not still "attached" to the unedited dvs.
Earlier I tried to export, in the advanced settings, to the full quality dv, but the quality really dropped, way too much for the intended use. I'm pretty much stumped at this point, unless I can hear some other suggestions.
What I might try doing is simply dragging and dropping all the packet contents of the media folder into the other movie's media folder, but then I suspect I'll have to rebuild the darn thing from bits and pieces and it may be like putting Humpty Dumpty back together again...ugh.
I'm sure I'm not the first person to face this challenge, am I? Of course, my lesson learned is to build one dvd's contents in one imovie project. If it weren't for the fact that I need to offer viewers the option to "play movie" (play all the videos as one movie) I'd simply drag each movie into iDVD and do it that way (the dvd showing each video separately).
Would still love to hear of other possible solutions here, before trying some other forum.
thanks!
