Ability to change iDVD from 4.2GB disc size to 4.7GB disc size?

Hello,
I have a project that comes to 4.3GB in professional quality output. I want to burn it to my 4.7GB single layer disc, but there is no option to change the single layer disc size. Therefore when i go to burn my project it kicks up a fuss saying there is not enough DVD disc space to burn the project.
Is there another setting that I can change that will allow me to select the more sensible size 4.7GB single layer disc? If not can I tell iDVD that it is using a dual layer 7.7GB disc in order to trick it to burn onto the 4.7GB disc? Or will this not play back correctly.
Any help will be uber appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
This is a compleat missunderstanding.
iDVD Doesn't care about Gbs AT ALL
ONLY in minutes duration of Movie + Menu/s
iDVD 8 has three levels of qualities, iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• *Professional Quality* (movies up to 120 min.) - BEST
• *Best Performances* (movies less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• *High Quality* (in iDVD08) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
So add together and see. My movies can have a size of 25Gb or more still fitting
onto a DVD burned by iDVD.
Yours Bengt W

I just downloaded an old version of iDVD from a disc I purchased from Amazon (iLife '11). I only downloaded the iDVD portion of it. Now my recent version of iPhoto will not open and I get the message that iPhoto may be damaged or incomplete

I just downloaded an old version of iDVD from a disc I purchased from Amazon. I downloaded only the iDVD portion of the disc. Now when I go to open my new version of iPhoto, I get a message that I cannot open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete. What can I do to get this resolved?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

IDVD from iMovie

I am trying to create a DVD using iDVD from an iMovie I have created.
I have added clips and photos into iMovie, inserted audio, titles and transitions.
I have Shared this as a file (twice).
When I open iDVD I am unable to see the movies in iMovie to import. I can however see movies in iPhoto.
What do I do?

That's how iDVD worked - you have allways to use a 'Theme'.
If you want a theme-less disc, you should use the auto-play feature in iDVD. Which asks for a theme either …
When you (re)install the old themes, there're very simple ones, which you additionally can 'mod' ad infinitum to your needs.
Had a website about that (omg, 2009!!), don't maintain it any more, but maybe of help:
https://sites.google.com/site/idvdmodding/backdrops-and-background
This 'modding-by-drag' n drop'-ability was the outstanding feature of iDVD, which made it exceptional to any other authoring tool. Apple stopped development 8-9y ago, and any hope for a iBluRay-version was burried, since SJ mentioned BluRay "a bag of hurt" - allthough Appe was member in a BluRay-consortium...
Will be interesting when iDVD will finally stop working - Apple makes for years a transition to new code (Quicktime >> AVFoundation), I'm surprised, that iDVD works with Yosemite, anyhow.- If your with DVDs, keep an old Mac alive just fo this purposes.-
… the canned templates were never my thing, too ...

Installing iDVD from a system restore disk

Hello all-
I posted a question elsewhere looking at this problem from another angle, but I think this might be the way I want to go about it, if I can.
To make a long story short (or at least try): I just bought a six-month-old Power Mac G5 on eBay. I am planning on moving all my apps and data over from my old computer, a G4. The system restore disks came will put OS 10.3.5 on the G5. The G5 has a built-in DVD burner, and thus also came with iDVD. The G4 does not have a DVD burner, and thus did not come with iDVD.
I have a commercial version of OS X 10.4, and what I'd ideally like to do is make a totally fresh and clean install of 10.4 onto the G5, and then use the setup assistant to import all my stuff from the G4 over. However, my fear would be that in doing so I would lose iDVD. Is there any way to install iDVD from the install disks that come with the G5 without installing OS X?
Thanks in advance,
jf

Put your install disc inside your PC and right click and choose Show Package Contents on the main installer - then have a look in the sub folders for the iDVD package - it should be in there - this should work again once you re-install your machine.

Need to have ability to change payment currency in invoice form...

Hi All,
I need to have the ability to change payment currency in invoice form.
For example my invoice currency is USD then I need to select HKD in payment currency option. But right now there is only USD available in payment currency.
Also I need to know how and from where the type, invoice and payment currency details are automatically fetched when opening the invoice form.
Thanks,
R. Bala

Bala,
From the User Manual:
Invoice Currency. The supplier invoice currency is used as a default for new supplier sites you enter. The supplier site invoice currency is used as a default for the Purchasing documents and Payables transactions you enter for a supplier.
Payment Currency. The default for Payment Currency in the Suppliers window is the value you enter for supplier Invoice Currency. You can change the Payment Currency value only if the Invoice Currency has associated fixed-rate currencies (for example, euro). If the Invoice Currency is a fixed-rate currency, you can change the Payment Currency value to an associated fixed-rate currency. The supplier Payment Currency is used as a default for all new supplier sites you enter.
The supplier site Payment Currency is the default for the Payment Currency field in the Invoices window. It is also the default currency for invoices you create for this supplier site by using Payment on Receipt, Open Interface Import, and Recurring Invoices.
Hope this helps.

Podcast how to change speed from 1.5x to 1x speed without having to go through 2x, 3x etc?

Podcast how to change speed from 1.5x to 1x speed without having to go through 2x, 3x etc?

Whereas I need to be
able to go from disc 1/track 1 to disc 1/track 2,
instead the iPod goes from disc 1/track 1 to disc
2/track 1.
Right click on any of these files and do a Get Info. Notice that there is, in fact, a Disc number field. So you can make disc numbers 1/10, 2/10 and so on.
iTunes and the iPod are both smart enough to recognize that there are disc numbers there and act correctly. So it'll start with Disc 1, play all that disc, then go to Disc 2, and so forth. It's just a matter of having correct disc number tags.
You can tag disc numbers for a whole disc at once. Simply select all the songs in a single disc (hold SHIFT or CTRL while selecting the songs), right click, Get Info, and you get the mass tag editor screen. Add the disc number info for this disc, and it'll tag that info to all those songs. Repeat for each disc.

Changing iDVDs default drive

My 104 superdrive went bad and will not burn discs any more, though it will still read discs fine. I now have an external LaCie drive, with works wonderful.
My issue is that I now need to create a OneStep disc, and iDVD wishes to use only the internal (non-working) drive.
Does anyone know how to change the default drive that iDVD uses, so that when I do a OneStep disc, it will allow me to use the external drive?
Thanks.

Hi Michael:
This is one way-
1. Edit your movie in iMovie and put in your iDVD chapter markers.
2. Save the iMovie project and exit.
3. Open iDVD and create a new project. You can now choose where the project will be stored.
4. Go to File => Import=> Video
5. Navigate to your iMovie project folder and select the .mov file that has the same name as your iMovie project.
6. It will ask you whether to import chapter markers, which, if you made any, you do.

Unable to open Adobe Reader with ability to changes PDF to word

adobe reader with ability to change from pdf to word stopped working I purchased a new year and it does not work?

John,
Glad to hear everything is working. I'm surprised, too, though, because these subscriptions are on auto-renewal when you subscribe (unless you cancel before the subscription runs out).
So....I just double-checked your account. You had a CreatePDF basic subscription which expired on August 28 (I'm guessing that one wasn't on auto-renewal).
In any case, I think all is well now!
Best,
Sara

How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

iDVD does not care about file sizes, as it compresses the file to the standard DVD format of mpeg2.
It only cares about length i.e. max 2 hours including titles etc.
iDVD encoding settings:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

Are there any known issues with the epub plugin causing firefox to revert search engine back to yahoo and then disabling the ability to change search settings?

My wife recently added a plugin, epub reader. Upon starting up Firefox the next day she noticed that the default search engine was changed back to Yahoo after we previously fixed this. Furthermore the ability to change search settings was grayed out. After epub reader was removed the problem was solved. I am surprised that I am unable to find anything written to this end about epub reader. Is this a tool promoted and distributed by Yahoo?
Incidentally, how much would each user need to contribute to get mozilla away from Yahoo? Yahoo is, in my opinion, little more than an advertising vehicle, and not a real search engine.

I went to Costco today and asked long known VZW Kiosk rep re what phone would he recommend...DX, DI or Fascinate.
Not to my surprise, I was told that DX is the best of those three. Given the fact that all three is the same price $199, it indicates that is has nothing to do with price.
When I acquired him about how Fascinate sales going, rep told me that since that phone went for sale this Thursday, local Costco only sold 10 Fascinate but that not all...7 of them were returned back to Costco by Saturday. That is a 70% return rate which seems to be way too high for the high level smartphone.
At the same time, local Costo VZW kiosk can't keep up with demand of the DX, they are being sold out as soon as they are getting them. I am not advertising for DX here as I am myself briefly owned DX as soon as it was released and its problem with reboot forced me to return it as I didn't want to deal with replacement as I had bad experience in the past two years with VZW replacing my phones every two to three month with replacement phone being worse then the one that is being replaced.
There is no such a thing as a perfect smartphone (sorry to all iPhone fans) but VZW should take a special "achievement" award for screwing up such a wonderful phone as Galaxy S.
I can only hope that either DX with 2.2 will be better than the one with 2.1 or I will wait for what is coming up with HTC in November.

Hi everybody, I am trying to create a DVD pal without menu with the program iDVD from a .mov file. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

Hi everybody, I am trying to create a DVD pal without menu with the program iDVD from a .mov file. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

(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!

HT2492 ML Dashboard Calendar widget has lost the ability to change the date.

In ML the Dashboard calendar widget has lost the ability to change the day to other days. You can still navigate to different months with the arrow keys, but clicking on any day has no effect. I have not found a keystroke/mouse combination that allows the date to be changed from today's date.
This is a useful function for me, to quickly be able to see what I have scheduled on any day. Now I have to open iCal, which is annoying.

You are correct that there is no way to sort jobs in the print queue window in Snow Leopard. This is to be considered expected behavior. In other words, that's the way the software engineers intend it to work in Snow Leopard. You should provide Apple with feedback as to what you want. You can file a report at: _http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html_.
