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:

  • 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.

  • Files to DVD-ROM

    Hope this makes sense. Here's what I am trying to do.
    So I created a simple project recently in iDVD. No problems. It essentially has one movie clip - that's it. So far, so good. But then, what I would like to do is also have the ability to have DVD-watchers be able to download a bunch of images, if they put it in their computer. You know, "explore" the DVD, if you will, and drag/drop any images they want.
    The only way I have seen to do this so far is to add all the pictures I want into a slide show (so essentially create another drop zone), and then select the "Add image files to DVD-ROM" option. That's fine, and it works - but I didn't know if there was a way to do that without adding the slide show.
    Hope this makes sense.

  • .PDF files in DVD ROM content

    I am using a Mac and Encore CS4. I am trying to include a .pdf file as DVD ROM content. Whenever I try this, all .pdf files are "grayed out" and I can't use them. Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 and Adobe Acrobat Pro are both installed on the computer. I can read .pdf files outside of Encore.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    To add to Ruud's comment. When adding DVD-ROM content (Build tab; about half way down), you cannot add files; you must add folders. But you can have anything you want inside the folder.
    If you really want the file at the root of the DVD (i.e. not in a folder), build from Encore to a DVD folder without the file(s). Then use ImgBurn, add the Video_TS folder and any other files, then burn. I've never done this before, so I did a quick test (but I am CS3). Such a disk plays as a DVD in a set top DVD player and on a PC through wmp, and, on the PC, I can open the file from the disk.

  • Adding H.264 Files into DVD-ROM Folder

    So here is the problem:
    I have 10 hours of footage and I want it all on one DL-DVD that will only be used in Dell/IBM laptops with QT installed.
    Here is where I am at:
    I converted footage into 10 one hour H.264 files, and I plan to use DVDSP4 to create a DVD-ROM folder.
    Here is the question:
    Is there any way to create a menu that will allow me to create chapter markers to open each file when clicked? I read about DVD@ccess, but this does not seem the way to go for PC users. And if there is no way to do it, should I just use Toast and make a data DVD? (not sure if DVDSP4 will do this). Seems silly to make a Menu to Just tell everyone to go back to the DVD drive and look in the folder for the chapter files.
    Thanks for any insight,
    Don

    But i guess that's not exactly a topic for this forum. < </div>
    It's not the topic is inappropriate, it's just not a direct function of DVDSP and, as you might guess, folks like me have neither experience nor patience with PC applications. That it can be done at all without using something like HTML amazes me. Thanks for the heads up on this technique, Chris, hopefully the OP will research it on his own.

  • Max # of files in DVD-ROM?

    I'm trying to burn a DVD-ROM with just over 100,000 .tif images, nearly all of which are 150KB or less. The total size of all of the files is less than 3.5GB. When I move the files to either a Burn Folder or to a blank DVD-ROM, I can only burn about 36,000 of the files. I do not get any error messages during the burn and I'm using Maxell DVD-Rs, which I've used successfully in the past.
    Am I trying to place too many files on on DVD? Are there any work-arounds?

    I don't know for sure, but try creating an "Images" folder in the burn folder and then put the files in there instead of directly in the burn folder.
    Limitations on the root level of a drive are often stricter than limitations on its subfolders.

  • Adding image file name and logo to image

    Can you do batch processing of images to automatically insert the image file name, say at the bottom along with a logo, in black font. The logo stays constant but the image deatils will change with each image?
    Can this be done in Lightroom or then the full Photoshop?
    Thanks!

    I've taken the script mentioned above and modified it to the best of my abilities.  Still getting the same error, unfortunately:
    function main(){
    var suffix ="cropped";
    var docPath =Folder("~/Desktop");
    if(!docPath.exists){
       alert(docPath + " does not exist!\n Please create it!");
       return;
    var fileName =activeDocument.name.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1];
    var fileExt =activeDocument.name.toLowerCase().match(/[^\.]+$/).toString();
    var saveFile = new File(docPath +"/"+fileName+suffix+'.'+fileExt);
    switch (fileExt){
       case 'jpeg' : SaveJPEG(saveFile); break;
       default : alert("Unknown filetype please use manual save!"); break;
    if(documents.length) main();
    function SaveJPEG(saveFile, jpegQuality){
    jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
    jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
    jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;

  • Adding image files to ApplicationController with initial letters "H"

    Hello.
    Whenever I add files (image, mostly png) with an initial letter of i or "bigger", they dont show up in the applicationController/ressources/images/... directory in the Application Navigator.
    Folders don't show up at all, and if there is a folder with a smaller letter than any image file, then all the following image files aren't shown.
    Weird bug i have to say..
    Kind regards,
    Pascal

    Pascal, what is your intent here? Are you going to use these images in a springboard or some other content? If so, they would go under the public_html folder on your drive which is visualized in JDev as your "Web Content" folder. If you place files or folders under the ApplicationController/src folder, they will show up under "Application Sources" in JDev.
    If you really want to include a specific folder as a resource, you can go to the project properties of the ApplicationController project, select "Project Source Paths", expand it and select "Resources". Then in the bottom section you can add a folder and it will then be included in your "Resources" of your ApplicationController project. I'm still not sure this is actually what you want though.
    I should note as well, I did not see or reproduce the problem you are seeing with filenames > H. Could you post exactly what you have in your directory structure on disk as well as what you see in JDev.

  • Adding VOB files into DVD SP

    Hi.
    I had a PAL DVD that I wanted to convert into NTSC. I got a guy for me to convert it and he gave me a DVD back. It was NTSC but in a DVD format. I wanted to add a better menu and such. Do I have to put it back into FCP or can I do it right from DVD SP?

    You cannot bring VOBs into DVD SP. You can use other tools to do that, but your best bet probably is to demux the VOBs using [MPEG Streamlcip|http://www.squared5.com> to the m2vs and audio and just use those in DVD SP (in other words if you are not re-editing the footage this will be the easiest route) then add menus as needed

  • 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

  • Blu-ray says capacity too big when burning DVD Rom Folder Encore CS4

    I have tried 3 times now to burn a Blu-ray Image file with a DVD rom Content Folder. The Blu-ray Image size is 45.90gb and the content folder is 1.6gb. The disk is a Sony DL 50gb Blu-ray. I have not tried to burn direct to disk because cost of Blu-rays. I am using Encore CS4. Is it that you cannot make an image file with DVD-rom for DL Blu-rays. Is there a number preset by Adobe for image file size for DL Blu-ray. Please help

    45.90 GB on your hard drive and 1.6 GB on your hard drive add up to 47.60 GB.
    In computer GB, (47.60 x 2^30) that's over 51 billion bytes. Sony and other blank media manufacturers report the capacity of their blank discs in normal GB (50 x 10^9), or 50 billion bytes.
    Your project is too big to fit on the blank media that you have.

  • Add Images to DVD-ROM Section

    How do I add images to the DVD-ROM section? My goal is to have a DVD with a slideshow and then to also have the option for users to Print or Copy the individual images that are used in the slideshow if they so choose. Is this possible? Thanks soo much, I'm totally confused!!!!!

  • IDVD burning to DVD media versus Image file subsequently written to DVD

    Can someone explain why I am experiencing trouble with DVD's which are produced from copying an image using disk utility after I use iDVD to create an image of the DVD projects, but when I write an iDVD project directly to DVD, the same problems do not arise?
    The problems are tiling, locking up in standard DVD players and an inability of the DVD player to recognize the DVD as a viewable DVD. Note that the image files and DVDs derived from it are capable of being read in a computer, but perform badly or not at all in standard DVD players for TV.

    I have tried the slowest burn speed and use TDK discs. I have wondered if it might be the drive itself. Oddly enough, when the DVD is written from iDVD there are lead in and lead out processes which may not be associated with an image file, though I'm not sure about the latter.
    Thanks

  • IDVD slide shows and DVD ROM contents?

    No problem making slide shows, but iDVD will not copy ALL of the hi-res pics, seems to have a mind of its own and drops short. ie. 3 slide shows of 100 pics each it will copy 87, 55, 85 hi-res pics only. 5 slide shows of 100 each it will copy 80, 52, 85, 88, 90 hi-res pics only. Has anybody got any ideas please.

    George,
    iDVD isn't always happy about working with lots of multi-megapixel images and can't use all the quality. See iDVD 6.0 Help-Preparing images for DVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/17.html for information on recommended sizes. Things will go a lot faster with the smaller images mentioned in that help file.
    You can always manually add content to the DVD-ROM area. See iDVD 6.0 Help - Adding files to the DVD-ROM portion of a disc at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/74.html
    My recommendation: use 720x540 images for the slideshow and manually add the high res images to the DVD-ROM area.

  • How do I add an image file to a library?

    Hi,
    My project requires files (normally in the form of JPEGs and PDFs) to be added to a library. The file paths are passed into the plug-in via sockets.
    In QuarkXPress we do this by using a hidden document, which is not visible or accessible by the user. Files are placed on the document and then transferred into the library. I can see how to do some of this in InDesign:
    Create a library using - ILibraryCmdUtils::CreateLibraryNewLibCmd()
    Add an item - ILibraryCmdUtils::CreateLibraryAddItemCmd()
    The bit I can't work out is the hidden document. I was hoping that a document could be created as hidden via the INewDocCmdData interface - no joy. I cannot see any reference to hidden documents anywhere in the SDK documentation. Does InDesign have a default one? So I'm wondering if this is the best way to do it.
    Can anybody point me in the right direction? It might be that hidden documents is not the best approach.
    Best regards and thanks in advance.

    Thanks to Dirk's help, I've now got my library code up and running. I can now handle my library through commands from an external source and from any user action. Had a few problems with outstanding bosses, but I've managed to configure the code to prevent this.
    With that out the way my attention has moved back to adding image files to the library via a hidden/headless document. I've written some code that will transfer images from the document to the library using ILibraryCmdUtils::ProcessLibraryAddItemCmd().
    The bit that's giving me problems is the file to document bit. The SDKHelper sample code (function PlaceFileInFrame) shows how this can be done, but there is a snag - I don't want the user to see the document that is used to transfer files to the library. Unfortunately a document UIDRef will not work in IHierarchy as it is not a displayable item.
    Does anyone know of a way this can be done? The user should not see or interact with the document.
    Cheers,
    APMABC
