How to Create a DVD from sliding Panels Slideshow.

I have the latest MacBook and iLife software.
I have created a 650 picture slideshow in Sliding Panels theme. It is 1.1 GB.
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.

  • 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 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
    Manfred

    Select the timeline panel first, then the Media option will be available.

  • 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 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 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 With No Menu?

    hi there.
    i've had DVD Studio Pro for a while and never used it.
    would it be to hard to give me a step-by-step guidance on how to create a DVD from a QuickTime file in DVD Studio Pro (initially, in the form of a VIDEO_TS folder or IMG file) with no menus at all, so that it's played straight away once inserted into a stand-alone DVD player?
    anyone, please?

    If you are starting in SD and can use compressor, that works better: there are more knobs to twist to adjust the results to your liking. Going from HD to SD, I think compressor or a third party encoder is a must. Just too many things to tweek to get it right for the video you shot.
    AC3 has another advantage in addition to file size: bit rate. There is a limit on what DVD players will handle - usually less than 10mb/s. And if you can have video + audio well under that, you disc will be compatible with more players. If can always put both on the DVD, and use a menu to let a user pick one, but you don't want menus yet, as you said. Many music DVDs do just that: PCM for best fidelity (it is noticeable on a really high end system that most mortals don't have), or DD, even 5.1 for everyone else.
    Encoding: I use 7.5mb/s max for video, and adjust the "average" depending on how big my video is; I've used as low as 4.2 for stage plays and it was not too bad. If you have a short video, you might use CBR (contstant bit rate) at 7.5 for the best quality. I likewise adjust my AC3 bit rate; 192 stereo where I must save space and the original sound quality was not great anyway, up to whatever the max is (384, I think).

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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 to create session id from different string controls

    how to create session id from different string controls

    fais,
    Please create the VI you are talking about and save some default data into all of the controls. Also on the front panel, place the session ID that should be generated by that data. Now, post your VI to a response so I can download it. I can then take this VI and help you create the functionality. (Please post what version of LabVIEW you are using.)
    My guess it that you are going to need to use a good number of string concatenations as well as a few string indexes to get parts of strings out. As for the date, you can use a Property node with the Numeric Text.Text property to get the actual string displayed on the front panel for the date and parse out the parts that you want.
