DVD with program in the DVD-Rom section

I'm wondering if there are any issues or if anyone knows any better ways to basically have a DVD that both plays video on computers and set tops and also can have an interactive Flash program in the DVD-Rom section of the disc. I know how I would set it up and would have a non-executable program). I believe this would be a hybrid disc, correct? Are there any programs that might do it better than DVDSP? I know Encore has a Flash component, but don't know if that program would be better.
Anyone's experience would be helpful

You can put anything you want in the DVD-ROM. Flash, PDFs, whole applications, etc. The thing is that you cannot reliably access any of that from the DVD-Video. You need to tell people that there is additional content on the disc and that they need to get it themselves.

Photos stored in DVD-ROM section of DVD Slideshow

I have created a DVD Slideshow using 50 pictures from iphoto and I checked "Add image files to DVD-ROM" box. I have done this several years ago but am totally baffled as to to link these images to a button which will allow access to them from the finished DVD. HELP!
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 512 MB SDRAM, 800Mghz

Hi cputzi
You can do this w/in DVDSP.
Did you already check out the iDVD Help Menu Procedure?
To create a slideshow in iDVD:
1. Click Media to open the Media pane, then click Photos to display your iPhoto albums.
2. Drag an album to the DVD menu. A button is created that links to the images. The button has the name of your iPhoto album and automatically displays the first slide in the slideshow.
3. If you want to change the button label, select the button and type a new name.
4. Double-click the button to open the slideshow editor.
5. The slideshow editor shows thumbnails of the photos in the slideshow. Drag the slider to change the size of the thumbnails, so you can see more slides at once, or fewer slides with more detail.
6. Add, arrange, or delete slides from the slideshow to create the sequence you want.
• To add other images, drag files or folders from the Finder to the slideshow editor.
• To reorder the images, select the slides you want to move and drag them to a different position.
• To delete an image, select it and choose Edit > Delete.
7. Click Settings and select the settings you want for the slideshow:
• "Loop slideshow" makes the slideshow repeat continuously until the viewer moves to a different part of the DVD.
• "Display navigation arrows" shows navigation arrows on the screen to indicate where the viewer is in the slideshow.
• "Add image files to DVD-ROM" adds copies of the slideshow images to the DVD disc so viewers can download them to their computers.
• "Show titles and comments" lets you add titles and comments to your slideshow images that are visible in the slideshow.
8. Click the Transition pop-up menu and choose a transition to smoothly move from one image to the next.
9. Click the Slide Duration pop-up menu and choose the length of time you want each slide to stay on the screen. Be sure to allow enough time for the transition you selected.
10. To let the viewer advance through the slideshow manually using a remote control, choose Manual.
11. Note: If you're adding a soundtrack, you don't need to set the slide duration.
12. To add a soundtrack, click Media to open the Media pane, then click Audio to find a song in your iTunes library or GarageBand that would make a nice background for the slideshow.
13. Drag the song or audio track from the Media pane, or from another location on your hard disk, and drop it in the audio well in the slideshow editor.
14. iDVD automatically adjusts the overall duration of the slides to match the length of the audio clip. The slide duration is changed to "Fit to Audio." You can change the duration if you want.
15. Drag the "Slideshow volume" slider to set the volume. You can check the volume when you preview the slideshow.
Note: When you add RAW images from iPhoto, the RAW files will appear in the slideshow as JPEG images. The RAW files are placed in the DVD-ROM portion of the disc if you choose that option.
Hope this is helpful

Photo DVD: Saving images to DVD-ROM not working

When creating a photo slide show In iDVD, there is an option to save the photos to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc so that viewers can download them to their own computer.
After I created a photo slide show in iDVD, it played just fine on both the computer and on a DVD player. But when I have the DVD in my computer's super drive and I try to access any of the photos (jpeg files) that are on the DVD-ROM portion, I get an error message saying they can't be opened.
What am I doing wrong?
I have iLife 09 with iDVD version 7.1.2. My OS is Lion 10.7.2.

> 8mp camera and I have the images saved in TIFF which are 22.9m in size
That makes no sense.
> So resolution is not an issue.
Yes it is.
There are 2 issues here: file format and image size/resolution.
The best format depends upon what the print shop will accept. Often, JPEG is the only option and simply saving at the highest quality will give excellent results. If the option is available from the shop, give them a non-lossy format - TIFF is probably best.
With image size it's all down to pixels and looking at th epixel size of your image is what matters. The "resolution" [PPI value] is simply the ratio of pixels in the image to inches on paper. So long as you PPI is at least 200 and no more than, say, 600, you are OK. Print shops operate in 2 ways:
The expensive ones will take your image and you tell them how big you want to print and they do it.
The cheaper ones require the image be carefully prepared to be the right size - i.e. have the PPI set so that the size in inches is right.
In my experience, the cheaper ones, while requiring more work, often produce the best results.
If you are in the UK, email me [colin_walls AT yahoo DOT com] and I will direct you to an excellent mail-order printer, who is cheap, reliable and produces excellent results. [I have no business connection with them, except that I'm a happy customer.]

Link to web site in DVD Rom section - need icon aasociation

I have an internet shortcut in my DVDRom section of a DVD. I also have an .ico file there I want the " weblink" to associate with. The link works fine but I can't associate the icon with it.
I know how to do this normally, just go to properties and "change icon" then browse to the icon you want and select it.
But the way you chose the pre-defined directory in Encore for your Rom items only allows you to chose one directory and already have all your files in it.
That's great but once the link and the icon file are on the DVD they lose their association and the icon doesn't appear by the link.
Is there a proper syntax to use in "properties" to tell the web shortcut that it's icon link is in the same directory the link is in? Since there is only one icon file in there if it just looked for an icon file it would find it.
I imagine this is the kind of code I see often with zeros and percentage signs and 20 in them but I don't know what language that is or how to make a statement with it to look for the .ico file in the same directory the web shortcut is in.
I hope someone can tell me.
Also, I don't know if it's a bug or just my Encore 2.0 but on the "disk" page where you select your DVDRom contents, if you've browsed to the file selected it and then decide you don't want it, it seems you would highlight the chosen address and then hit the "clear" button right next to the "browse" button. I've tried that but nothing happens. It's like the "clear" button just doesn't work.
Any one else had that problem or am I just not doing it right?
Thanks for your help.

A PDF is not a web page. You can't link to a PDF and expect it to display as HTML.
You could:
* Start from a Word document. The DynamicConverter component creates the HTML for a webpage and the InBoundRefinery component creates a PDF for download.
* Create a webpage content item that describes the PDF, use that as your secondary page.
* Change the link on the primary page so that instead of opening the PDF, it opens the content info page (only in contribution mode.)

DVD-ROM contents missing

I created a .dmg (disk image) in iDVD containing a movie and a folder of photos in the DVD-ROM section.
I burned the DVD in Toast (8.0 I think)because it makes it so easy to do mass copies.
My .dmg when mounted on my desktop contains the folder of photos. I just assumed that they were making it to the burned DVD's. After burning 63 copies, I discovered that the burned DVD was MISSING the entire folder of photos that had been placed for DVD-ROM access.
Needless to say, I was VERY frustrated. It's too late to fix it now, I'm just giving them the DVD and telling them that the pictures are not on it like I thought.
However, I'd like to avoid this problem in the future. I did this last year with our end-of-year slideshow and it worked fine.
How could the .dmg contain the folder, but the burned DVD from the .dmg have it missing?

Yes, I do know that DVD-ROM contents are not accessible through the TV. I tried it in both a Mac and a Windows computer and the DVD-ROM contents were missing from both.
I'm 99% positive, that I burned the .dmg image the same way that I did last year. I burned it in Toast both years--last year's DVD-ROM contents burned fine, this year's didn't.
But thanks for trying to help. Hopefully, I'll figure out an answer. Maybe I'll find something in google.

Missing DVD-ROM content

I am using a freshly built MacPro with 10.5.1 and iDVD 7.0.1
I have a 19 minute video from iMovie 6.0.4 ( I do not like iMovie '08).
My problem involves about 270 high resolution images in .jpg format want to include as 3 slide shows and as DVD-ROM content.
No matter how I try when I make the DVD (or now I make an image) from iDVD it fails to provide the DVD-ROM content correctly. In each case I MAY get a single image from each of the slideshows in the DVD-ROM/Slideshows subfolders.
I have also tried for each slide show to deselect the "Include images as DVD ROM content" and then add each folder using the "Edit DVD-ROM Content..." menu item and get very similar results. I've even added a simple readme.txt file that fails to get added to the DVD-ROM contents folder.
Each image is between 2 and 5 MB. According to the "Project Info..." window all file statuses are checked as fine and the total size of the DVD should be 1.93 GB.
Any ideas why iDVD is failing to add my desired images to the ROM content?
I also thought of changing the created .img file to a larger size and then Read/Write so I could then drag and drop in my own ROM content. However it appears Apple's Disk Utility does not resize UDF volumes. So if there is a suggestion on how to resize the UDF then send that along and I'll try that also.
thanks

Any ideas why iDVD is failing to add my desired images to the ROM content?
This issue comes up from time to time and SO FAR, the issue has always been trying to exceed the total capacity of a DVD. I'm not sure the Project Window accurately includes the DVD-ROM size.
A 19 minute movie and menus could easily add up to 1.3GB; then you have to figure in the space for the slideshows so your 'normal' DVD contents could easily be 1.9GB (or more).
If you put all 270 high resolution images in one folder, what would the folder size be?

Menu link to DVD-Rom Content?

I am authoring a DVD using iDVD and I am wondering if it is possible to create a Menu link to files contained in the DVD-Rom section of the resulting DVD?
I have two Slideshow presentations and associated with each is a PDF Paper which I am including in the DVD-Rom section, but I would like to put a menu item on the DVD main menu that is entitled something like "Extras" that would allow them to see the files are available.
Or something similar...
Is this possible with iDVD?

From the "Getting Started PDF for iDvd"
DVD-ROM refers to the content you’ve specified to be added to the DVD-ROM
portion of your burned DVD. You can have a total
of 15 minutes of motion, such as video on buttons or in the background, in all
menus. A project can include up to 99 menus.
In general, the amount of content your iDVD project contains correlates to the quality
of your burned DVD, given the encoding setting you have chosen. The white arrow in
the Capacity meter points to the quality of your burned DVD. Quality is highest on the
green portion of the Quality meter. If you have chosen Best Performance as your
encoding setting, the entire Quality meter may be green.
Checking Project Files
All the items you added to your project appear in the Media portion of the window
with the path to their locations on your hard disk or elsewhere. If you don’t see the
table below “Media,” click the disclosure triangle to show it.
The Type column indicates whether the item is a picture file, audio file, or a video file. A
checkmark in the Status column indicates the item is present and therefore accessible
to iDVD. If you moved the file from its original location, you can see at a glance that it’s
missing because the checkmark will also be missing. This means that iDVD won’t be
able to access the file. If you notice an item is missing from its original location, you can
do one of the following:
Â Locate the item on your hard disk or connected server and return it to its original
location.
Â Remove the button that linked to the item.
Â Locate the file when prompted the next time you open the project.
Checking Your Project for Errors
If you begin to burn your project without checking it, a dialog appears, indicating if
there are errors in your project. This prevents you from creating a DVD that can’t be
played. However, it’s a good idea to check for errors before you begin to burn a disc.
The most thorough way to make sure your project works properly is to click the
Preview button and use the iDVD remote control to click all the buttons, view all the
menus, and view every video and slideshow. If your project is very large, this could take
some time. You can spot-check your project in less time using map view.
To check for errors:
1 Click the Map button to view your project in map view.
2 Look for warning symbols like the one below (they look like yellow yield signs) that
indicate a problem with a menu or with media you’ve added to you project.
3 Move the pointer over the symbol to see an explanation of the error.
4 Make the necessary correction and return to map view to see if the warning symbol is
gone.
5 To save your work, choose File > Save.
From the Help Menu in iDvd:
To manually add files to the DVD-ROM part of your disc:
Choose Advanced > Edit DVD-ROM Contents. The DVD-ROM Contents window opens.
Click Add Files, or click New Folder first if you want to create a folder to put the files in.
Browse to select your files or folders, then click Open.

DVD-Rom Access

I understand how to create a DVD-Rom section on a DVD. Is it possible to then link to the folder contents via a menu item on the DVD?
I have a folder with several PDF files in it on the DVD-Rom section of the DVD and I would like to put a menu link to the files so that the viewer knows they exist.
Is this possible?
Chris

Chris:
This recent post will give you some answers about linking ROM content:

I think the best is making a menu page with just instructions to navigate to the content in computers.
Hope that helps !

Add image files to DVD-ROM

When using iDVD '09 to create a slideshow, I select the option to "Add image files to DVD ROM". As expected, my finished DVD contains the DVD-ROM Contents folder, and after digging down into a few more sub-folders I get to the original photos used to create the slideshow. So far so good. However, inside the folder containing the slideshow images there is another sub-folder that is always named "originals" which contains a second set of identical images.
This "originals" folder is only created when I use photos from the iPhoto library in my DVD. If the slideshow photos are sourced from a folder somewhere using the finder I do not get the the second set of images.
At first I thought maybe iDVD was placing a copy of the original unedited iPhoto images and a copy of the edited iPhoto images onto the DVD, but the 2 sets of images are absolutely identical as far as I can tell.
Anyone know why iDVD is placing 2 sets of images onto the DVD?

Just made an interesting discovery. I went back through some older DVDs looking at the DVD-ROM contents folders. On my older DVDs, the main set of images are all those used in the slideshow, while the "originals" folder contains the unmodified copies of only those photos that were modified in iPhoto. The "originals" folder could therefore contain the same number of photos if all were modified, less if only some of them were modified, or none at all if you didn't modify any of them in iPhoto.
So it would appear that iDVD is indeed supposed to follow the same "original" and "modified" structure of iPhoto in order to archive both versions onto the DVD. This is obviously the correct behaviour and is a very clever feature for Apple to include, but it doesn't appear to be working with the newer versions of iDVD.
The older DVDs I have where this has worked correctly were created on my old iMac with iDVD 6. All the incorrect DVDs I have with 2 identical sets of photos were created since buying my new MBP. I started off with iDVD '08 on the MBP and I'm now using iDVD '09. So there is either something wrong with my system, or there has been a bug in iDVD since the '08 version (suppose it could be an iPhoto bug as well).
I would like to know if anyone else has checked the DVD-ROM folder on their DVDs to see if the main images and those in the "originals" folder are identical. This would apply to iDVD '08 and '09 and only if you sourced the slideshow images through iPhoto. If I'm not alone then it would appear to be an Apple bug.

Any way to add DVD-ROM content to a disc image?

Hi Folks,
I've got a completed DVD that someone would like to add a few pdf files to. No one has any of the original project assets. Is there any way to take the VIDEO_TS folder and somehow re-author with a DVD-ROM folder added?
Thanks,
Chris

It's possible, but tricky--you can use software to deconstruct the existing disc into all the VOB and IFO files, etc, which maintains the navigation structure. The ROM information goes in a different place on the disc, so you don't have to disturb those.
I have very bad luck adding ROM data to the DVD because the end users have such a hard time figuring out what to do with it, how to get it off the disc.

Add DVD-ROM content manally to .img ?

I have saved an iMovie > iDVD6 as a disk image. The movie is of a visit to France where we stayed with numerous friends, and I want to send all of them the complete DVD, but include jpegs as DVD-ROM Content as an "extra" specific to each friend.
How can I add a folder of jpegs manually to the DVD for one friend, burn this friend-specific DVD, delete the folder of jpegs, add the relevant folder of jpegs for the next friend, and so on, so that each of our friends gets the DVD plus photos from "their part" of the tour, or can DVD-ROM content only be added through the iDVD menu?
TIA.

this "might" work for you:

I'd try using the "disk copy" mode "option B". You will prbably have to copy your Video_TS folder from the .img file to another folder, where you will add a new folder for your DVD-ROM contents.....

Adding images files to DVD-ROM

By adding image files to the dvd-rom when burning my slideshow and movie. Can the photos be put on a desktop for printing after burn is done?

There's a nice option to add whatever files you choose to the DVD-ROM area using the command to Edit DVD-ROM. Here are instructions:

IDVD 6 dvd-rom content of images used in the movie aren't visible on winbox

I created a slideshow in iPhoto 6, exported as a QuickTime movie, and then imported that movie into iDVD 6.
Into the advanced menu, edit dvd-rom window, I dragged from iPhoto, the album of the images used to create the QuickTime movie.
After burning the project onto a dvd-r disc, I checked the disc on my mac. Both the movie and the dvd-rom contents of the images viewed perfectly.
On two winboxes running xp, the dvd movie played flawlessly, but when navigating, in win explorer, to the folder with the images, neither winbox was able to recognize the images as being images. They show the image titles below icons, but the images never load, nor when clicked, do they open.
Is there something back in iDVD or iPhoto that I can do to assure cross platform compatibility? I've searched this forum and looked at the relevant section of D. Pogue's iMovie 6/iDVD Missing Manual book, but it doesn't speak to this. It seems to suggest that there shouldn't be a problem.
My other thought is that I had saved my iDVD project as a disc image, then used DiskUtility to burn it onto the dvd-r. Is there something I need to do to from DiskUtility to assure cross platform compatibility?
Thanks,
John

Okay, I figured out what was wrong. The problem was that when dragging the images to the edit dvd-rom content window, I had dragged from iPhoto. My iPhoto preferences are to NOT copy the images when importing, so when I dragged to iDVD, what I was dragging were only aliases of the images.
I trashed the disc image that I had created, and in iDVD, then dragged the actual images from the folder in which they resided, to the edit dvd-rom content window. I then saved as a disc image again.
Now, after burning a dvd-r in Disk Utility of that disc image, the images are recognized in the winboxes. They actually load much more quickly on my son's hp box than they do on my G4 mini!
I believe that when I had been checking the original dvd-r that I had burned which held the aliases, my mac linked those to the images which it had on the hard drive, so of course they were visible.
So, all of you out there that may have a similar situation, make sure you're dragging the actual photos, and not the aliases!

How to add an image in a hub section header

Hi.
I want to add an Image in a hub section header. Is it possible to add an image with the section header so that like the section header when I click on the image it would also navigate me to that section page ?

Something like this might work for you:
