How to Create a DVD from a .mov File?

I have a .mov file of a concert and I want to make a DVD out of it. Ideally, I'd like to have full menu options just like a normal DVD. From the main menu, I'd like to have two choices: 1) being able to watch the full length concert, and 2) being able to select individual songs (much like a scene selection on a regular DVD). The .mov file is in really great quality (the concert was filmed in HD) so I'd also like to keep as much quality as possible. How can I separate my .mov file into separate chapters so I can place each individual song into the menu choices? Thanks for any help!

NOt sure what you mean by "first play." I've done the tutorials on iDVD, but still can't figure it out. Is it possible to delete a movie that in the right box, i.e., previously selected? For some reason it says i've exceeded the size of the DVD even though it's only 1.8 GB. So i want to delete it and compress what i have, but i can't get rid of what's there. I suppose i could just delete the whole iDVD file and start again, or change the file name of the movie on the HD, but that seems very unMac-like.
There's nothing in the iDVD help either on "project validation" errors or how to correct other errors. But right now a simple way to delete a movie would be helpful.
Thanks

  • 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.

  • How to create a dvd from iPhoto11

    I've created a book using iPhoto 11 (v9.5) and want to create of the book using idvd 7.1.2.  The share menu in iphoto no longer has the option to export to idvd.  Any assistance would be appreciated. I'm using Mavericks
    Thanks

    Here's the Export button:
    You can't make a slideshow of the book pages unless you follow the workflow I posted above.  Here's a revised version of it:
    First go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
    Next go into the book and start a print process:
    1 - go to the View All Pages mode in the book.
    2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
    3  - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
    4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered and 200 for slideshows, etc.).
    5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
    That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto.
    6 - immediately rename the images in order with the Batch Change ➙ Title to Text  ➙ Page with Append checked. This will let you keep the pages in order by naming them Page -01, Page - 02, etc.  This will let your get them in the right order by a simple sort by title  as their original titles are really weird and can't be sorted into their original order by any method.
    6 - select the images of the book and create a slideshow in iPhoto in the slideshow MODE.  You can set the theme and transition and add music to it if so desired.  This demo page has such a book converted to an iWeb slideshow. It will give you an idea what the page images will look like: iPhoto Book as an iWeb Slideshow
    7 - export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size =480p.
    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 quality 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.

  • How to create a DVD from mts in Premiere

    With my old camcorder I captured avi files in Premiere, exported them and created the DVD with Encore.
    Now I have a new camcorder. I capture the files to the PC with the camcorders transfer utility and I imported the mts files in Premiere and cut them there.
    As I want to export now I see that on File/export everything is greyed except AAF and Final cut pro XML. No idea what animals those are but certainly not the film/a format I can take to Encore to make the DVD.
    As you see I am not an expert in all that and I have no idea now what to do. Can someone help me please ?
    kind regards

  • How do I create a screensaver from an mov file that other mac user can download? Is there free software or shareware available for this?

    I have seen iScreensaver and PulpMotion and several others but I simply wish to convert an mov file to a screensaver that other mac can download. I haven't been able to come across a tutorial for this that works on Lion. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

    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 to create a dvd from video camera

    Can I burn the dvd straight from the video camera or do I have to first upload to iMovie?

    No, you don't need to upload the files into iMovie before burning, but you had to load the files from camera onto your Mac.
    What file format does your camera shot in? MTS? or MOV? Check out DVD Creator. It will burn anything (video, audio, image) onto your DVD. I've never used it myself but it gets good reviews.
    See it in: http://www.appgeeker.com/convert/burn-mts-to-dvd.html
    P.S.: iDVD is used to be a great burning program built-in Mac system, but now the new Macs don't ship with it! It has been discontinued. It's still available on the old iLife, though.

  • How to Create a DVD from sliding Panels Slideshow.

    I have the latest MacBook and iLife software.

    I have tried to (1) export and (2) Create iDVD through "Share". In both cases I get the message that I do not have sufficient Disc space. I have 23GB of available disc space.
    I am probably doing something wrong but any CLEAR instructions?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What system version are you running? As a precursor to trying the following fixes download and reapply the Mac OS X v10.6.3 v1.1 Update (Combo) updater if you're running Snow Leopard or the Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update if you're running Leopard. Follow that with a repair of disk permissions. Then try the export again. If still not working continue with the fixes below:
    First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again.
    If that doesn't help backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.

    Does iDVD 6 support flash movies (flv) importing?
    No. You could probably convert the files to DV video (which is supported) using VisualHub at http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/
    You can try it for free.
    Keep in mind that the DV files will be MUCH larger. DV runs about 12 to 13 GB per hour of content.

  • How to Create new database from cold backup files.

    Dear Experts,
    I have an oracle 10g databae on windows 2003 server.
    The database is in Archive log mode and backup strategy is Taking cold backup ever night.
    Backup steps:
    shut down database.
    copy data files, control files, redo logs, archive logs and parameter files to safe location.
    Startup.
    I have taken a backup at Tuesdaay 1AM and I have archive logs also.
    On Wednesday, I want to Create a new database on another server with the available cold backup files and archive logs. I want to recover the database upto 4PM Wednesday. How can I do this.
    I am not using control file auto backup or control file backup to trace.
    Please help me how can I do this. I am new to oracle database Administration.
    --Thanks                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

    The steps :
    shut down database.
    copy data files, control files, redo logs, archive logs and parameter files to safe location -- you mean the alternate location for the new databaseare correct (except that I would say "alternate location for the new database").
    If you do not have controlfile backups, you cannot either OPEN the database or RECOVER the database until and unless you CREATE the Controlfiles. You have to generate a CREATE CONTROLFILE script using a BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE from the Production serer and create the controlfile on the new server.
    BEFORE the Startup, I would use
    RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL;The "using backup controlfile" tells Oracle to continue attempting Recovery -- ie doing a RollForward -- till the last archivelog made available to it.
    For the Recover command, you then keep applying the ArchiveLogs from the Tuesday 1am ColdBackup upto Wednesday 4pm.
    Once you have applied the last ArchiveLog, you do an
    ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;Here are my notes of doing a RollForward "Recovery" from a Cold Backup :
    http://hemantoracledba.blogspot.com/2007/05/rollforward-from-cold-backup.html
    If you are attempting all these steps on a different server from your current Production database, you should be safe.
    Once you OPEN the database, you can use CREATE CONTROLFILE or the NID utility to rename the database.
    If you are attempting to create the new database on the same server there are many other precautions you have to take and unless you have experience with cloning databases, I would advice you against doing so (only the RMAN DUPLICATE DATABASE command has a safer method of cloning a database).

  • How to create several procedures from several script files?

    Hello,
    I have several procedures for SAP HANA. Every procedure is stored in a script file. I can only use SAP HANA Studio.  How can I easily  run all script files to create all procedures on a schema? Can somebody help me?
    Best regards,
    Y.Hu

    Hi Fernando,
    Thank you very much for you explanation.
    My scripts contain native sql statements for creation stored procedures “CREATE PROCEDURE … AS BEGIN … END”. They are not objects for or from Content/package. The procedures should be created direct in a project schema.
    The option with hdbsql command line is not possible because I may not use hdbsql (unfortunately not allowed for me).
    The option all scripts into a big file is a possible option for me. The big file has only 1600 lines. But there is a  strange problem with the text “FOR” in script (please see the thread http://scn.sap.com/thread/3728741 ). Unfortunately SAP HANA Studio cannot run my big script. 
    I hope there is a solution or workaround for this problem.
    Best regards,
    Y.Hu

    Java uses the JVM to parse the class files. It cannot be converted to a .exe file
    but if you want to distribute it, i suggest you use InstallAnywhere which makes it into an exe installer.
    In the end it still uses the virtual machine...
