After creating a slideshow in iDVD and burning it to a blank DVD-R disk, can I later add another slideshow?

After creating a slideshow with my photos in iDVD and burning it to a bland DVD-R disk, can I used the unused space on the disk to add another slideshow at a later date?

Thanks!

Can I create a DVD in iDVD and burn it on a PC

My mac mini doesnt have a dvd burner but I love iDVD and would love to make my dvd in it.
After I create the file can I send it to a PC and somehow burn it there?

Sure you can - use save as disk image.
Then do this with the image file:

I made and burned a slideshow in iDVD and gave a copy to a friend with a Mac notebook. Is there a way she can put it on her hard drive to make copies of it? Does she need to have iDVD?

She can easily make copies of the DVD using Finder:

How can I make a slideshow with music and burn it to a disk?

I need to make a photo slideshow with music and burn it to a disk. I am able to make the slideshow but I cant figure out how to save it or burn it to a disk.

How do you want to play the slideshow? On another computer or on a TV set?
If it's the former export the slideshow as a QT movie file to the desktop and burn that file to a disk with the Finder.
If you want to create a video DVD of the slideshow so that it can be viewed on a TV set, use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option. That will export the slideshow into iDVD where you can complete the menu and project design.
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 and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good and you can then burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Is there any standard customizing avaiable which will not allow the change of bill to party and payer in Sales order after delivery creation?

Either via sdh0 you can set the field as non-editable or in configuration, if you set the field for BP as not modifiable in Partner Determination for Sales Order Header, then users wont be able to change the partner function in sale order.

Is it better to export an iMovie project as QT and use Toast to burn a DVD for general use or to export to iDVD and burn VD from there? Why?

Is it better to export an iMovie project as QT and use Toast to burn a DVD for general use - or to export iMovie project to iDVD and burn DVD from there? Why?

Toast probably maintains better quality if you are just doing simple conversion direct from your camera straight into Toast and then to DVD. There's a lot less transcoding steps and loss of quality in that direct to DVD disk creation in Toast. However, having said that,...There's good arguments probably for both.
What I've seen promoted most often (as most people don't have Toast or aren't motivated to buy it) is to Share to Media Browser (choose the Large size option) and then from inside iDVD click the Media Button and the Movies button to find the project under the iMovie star icon in the Media Browser window. Drag that project into your iDVD project and burn the disk.

IDVD closes before burning / message asking about blank DVD

Someone please help...
I finished my movie, set up all of the menus, inserted a blank DVD and let it render. After 6 hours of waiting, the progress menu finished encoding the audio and right before it started to burn, iDVD quits without saving everything I've done. A message then comes up stating something to the effect that "I have just inserted a blank DVD. What course of action do you want to take: Ignore, Open iDVD etc." Well - obviously I inserted the DVD so it would burn HOURS ago. This has happened twice and is quite annoying.
Another time recently and it finally burned the movie, popped out the DVD and quit before asking to burn another.
After that, I tried again and it rendered the menus, froze and then spit out the blank DVD before encoding the movie.
A little technilogically challenged here...any help would be appreciated. I own a Mac OSX but can't find out what version it is anywhere.

You've posted in the iDVD 6 forum so I hope you have iDVD 6. We ALWAYS recommend making your 'burn' out of iDVD to a disk image file (an option under FILE) for MANY reasons.
You can then use Apple's Disk Utility (or Roxio's Toast) to burn the disk image to as many writable disc as you want. See Burning a disk image on a CD or DVD at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh1884.html
A message then comes up stating something to the effect that "I have just inserted a blank DVD. What course of action do you want to take: Ignore, Open iDVD etc."
It sounds like you inserted the writable disk at the wrong time - probably before iDVD asked you to do so.

Cannot burn a blank DVD+RW disk

Since I installed Mountain Lion, this is the first time I am trying to burn data to a TDK DVD+RW disk. When I put the blank disk into the computer, the Disk Utility window opens showing the SuperDrive. It has to items: 1 Choose how to erase it and 2 Click Erase. Then I have to make the choice between earasing the data on disk Quickly or Completely. Since it is a blank disk, I chose Quickly. Once this finished, nothing else happened. In fact, no disk icon appeared on the Desktop at any time.
I would hope that I would not have to erase completely every time I used a blank disk, since that takes an hour.
There is nothing in the Disk Utility Preferences that apply to the disk.
The mac will recognize a DVD+RW I created with Snow Leopard OS.
Any suggestions to help me with this problem. My warranty has run out on the computer, so I can't call Apple.

If you are using the correct format, then maybe you
do need a third party utility like Roxio Toast which
has offered multisession burning since before Disk
Utility.
Except that Toast does not support multisession DVD -- only CD. There's an article on Roxio's support site that explains the reason for not supporting multisession DVD: there is no standard for it. All the software that can burn multisession DVDs do it in a way that is not standards-based.

Topic: "Please insert a blank DVD-R disk". DVD burning prob

Hey everyone out there,
My imac is a week old now and i'm starting to experience dvd burning problems. Here is the low down. Used 1-step dvd feature in idvd5 to burn a mini-dv tape from my sony dcr-hc42. It burned succesfully on the 1st 2 tries. On the 3rd try it says to "insert blank dvd-r disk" and spits out the blank dvd. I've read different posts that say to try using dvd -r disks - only suggestion I could find. I have been using dvd -r disks - in fact I've tried 3 different kinds (sony, TDK, memorex) all with the same result. I also got a suggestion to dl toast and test the burner with toast - Same result. It won't even read the blank dvd-r in the drive. Is my burner having problems or is this a problem with ilife 5. It's still new and under warranty so I'll give apple a call and post their directions here. Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
Where would I be without this forums!!! (on my windows computer, bleh!) =)

Hey Jordan,
I dl'd patchburn and it does the same thing as it did with idvd and toast. It says "please insert a blank dvd-r disk" then ejects the disk. D'oh!!! I just finished talking with apple tech support and here's the low down:
we tried reading the blank disk with finder. Wouldn't even show up on desktop. Then we popped in a movie dvd - read just fine. We went in to system preferences (cds/dvds) - everything a ok. Finally, popped in the mac os disk and did a new archive install - same result =( The tech told me to take it into an apple store which I will be doing soon. Their explanation was that since it was reading the data dvds fine, the problem was the head that detects blank dvds was malfunctioning ( i guess it has 2 heads - 1 to read the data and 1 to detect blank disks). Either way it's covered under warranty ( 1 week old) so hopefully they'll take care of it. I'll post more news once I get it back - crossing my fingers X .....
By the way, thanks for the replies. This forum system is awesome.

Burner won't recognize blank dvd

Hi,
I have an old cd/dvd burner I bought from best buy years ago. Tried burning a dvd and it wouldn't recognize blank dvd..it keeps saying "please insert dvd" even though there's one in the drive. It burns CD just fine. Plays DVD just fine. I have tried using SEVERAL other burning programs and still doesnt work. Please help.
Also uninstalled and reinstalled the drive several times...going crazy here.

Just to make sure, are you SURE it's a cd AND dvd burner? There are drives out there(I mention this since you said years ago) that were CD burners, with the DVD ROM feather.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

I have created a slideshow in iPhoto and then used iDVD to burn the sideshow to a DVD. The quality of the DVD is poor. Any ideas?

I have created a slideshow in iPhoto and then burnt it to DVD using iDVD. The quality of the slideshow on the DVD is poor. Any ideas?

Poor in what way? iDVD creates standard definition displays of 640 x 480 pixels and will not look as sharp as the orignal photos in the iPhoto slideshow on a Mac monitor.

Iphoto slideshow to idvd: quality & burning issues...

I've made a few slideshows in iphoto due to the Ken Burns effect and also the ability to choose full screen or widescreen. I made DVDs for friends with full and myself with wide for my widescreen- and that works fine.
My question is about the quality of the movies. Obviously a substantial loss of quality from viewing the show in iPhoto on my Powerbook...
Is there a better way to do this with better results? Using iMovie? (Never have used that app before..) Each show has 100-250 slides and I choose a music playlist from iTunes. I am a quality freak and looking the uncrisp images isn't too thrilling.
(Even when playing the disk image in the DVD Player on my Powerbook and comparing with the original project file- it's a little more fuzzy.)
Also, I just got an external Lacie burner (I have combo drive) and have much unsuccess with burning. I have repaired permissions and create as a disk image in iDVD. It plays back great from the disk image in DVD Player on Powerbook. This specific movie is 2.4 GB and I have 10.1 free dis space.
Problems: (tried with 2 or 3 different movies)
*Disk Utility will not burn the image. It begins and then stops and says there are errors (not specific)...
*iDVD goes through 4 or 5 steps and right at the end says "Errors during burning"
(I was also getting a multiplexing error, but I freed up some space and didn't get that last time)
*TOAST- Using the DVD-Video from Video-TS (as recommended on various boards) does not work. It finishes but won't verify and nothing plays...
*TOAST- using DVD-Video: The menu made in iDVD isn't functional. Can't choose different slideshows... Won't highlight, etc...
*TOAST- using "Data" DVD-ROM (UDF):
THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT HAS WORKED AND PROJECTS ARE ABLE TO BE VERIFIED. MENUS ARE FUNCTIONAL IN MY 2 DVD PLAYERS...
I have the newest versions of Toast and iPhoto and iDVD. It's been very frustrating. Can't figure out why iDVD and Disk Utility won't burn... and TOAST only works using "Data" instead of Video... My Powerbook is a 60 GB 12" G4 1.33 model. I'm so tempted to upgrade to a bigger hard drive and a Superdrive but I don't know if that will help anything.
Thanks for listening!

Video DVDs are 720X480 (NTSC). Much lower resolution than straight iPhoto slideshows and your original photos. Nothing you can do about this until either HD-DVD or Blu-Ray technology come to the market and are affordable.
iMovie will not be better resolution after it is sent to DVD. You could export to HD resolution QT files (H.264, etc.) and play those on computers with QT and keep higher resolution. But those won't play with commercial DVD players.
Disk Utility will not burn the image.
Can you verify the mounted image with Disk Utility?
Can you burn other data DVDs with the finder and with Toast succesfully?
You should be able to use both the Video_TS drag into DVD-Video for Toast and the direct image burn in Toast, as well as Disk Utility. I wonder if there is an error in the image, so see if you can verify the mounted image with DU.

All of a sudden my iDVD player doesn't want to burn 2-part movies or series. It says there is an error and says I have a blank dvd in the drive. What to do?

My idvd has stopped burning when it involves a 2-part movie or series. It starts alright but then stops and gives and error, not a code just says there was an error and the little box comes up that says I inserted a blank dvd and asks what I want to do. I need help with this and would really appreciate someone's experience.

Then I guess that the free space on Your Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk is less than 5Gb or worse - I never go under 25Gb when doing a DVD.
To make a DiskImage
• Start a new iDVD project (as there is an iDVD bug luring in old projects (closed one time))
• Arrange all material: Movies, SlideShows and extras etc
• Go up to File Menu - and down to Save as a DiskImage
(You need a minimum of 25Gb to let this work OK)
• Then close iDVD
• Double click on the .img file You just created on DeskTop
• Start DVD-player tool (If it doesn't jump up in action by it self)
• See that all plays as You want it to do
• Close DVD-Player tool
• Open Disk Util tool (Application folder / Tool folder)
• Now to the left - select the .img file
• Go up and click on BURN
• When asked to do so - Insert a new DVD
• NOW SELECT TO SET DOWN BURN SPEED TO x4 or x1 (as this gives a significantly better result)
I Use
• Verbatim
• DVD-R
And get a very good result
OK mishmumken - I never figured out WHY I'm such a BLAB ! - You concentrated this to 100% Valu - GREAT

CREATED A MOVIE IN IDVD 4, BURN BUTTON NOT WORKING

I created a dvd in imovie I used made little quicktime movies and imported them to imovie then I made chapter markers to send to idvd. After creating a theme with music I went to click on burn and nothing happens. It took me a long time to make the dvd and I would really like to burn it. Am I doing something wrong? oh also if I save it as an archive then it says that there is not enough free space on my hard disk.
someone please help

i looked at some help files and it says that u must have at least twice as much free space on your hard drive before burning. To check your project size click project and click project info. A window will pop up. On the right side of the screen there will be something that says DVD Capacity. Next to that will be a progress bar and next to that will be words that give a number of Gb out of Gb (for example "4Gb out of 4.2Gb". the first number is your prodject size. for example if your prodject size is 4 Gb then u need 8Gb of free space on your hard drive. to check how much free space u have use the Activity Moniter.
