Bruning a slideshow DVD with pse7

okay, I have been trying to burn a slideshow to a DVD on PSE7, and all the directions say click "output" , choose "burn disc" , then choose "DVD" I do not get this option , all I can do is burn a VCD which doesn't work in my DVD players . Where am I going wrong?

Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty 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.
See if the audio pauses when the disk image is played by DVD Player
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 make a slideshow dvd with numerous song clips

I am trying to make a slideshow dvd with different photo fades and different song bits per photo group seemlessly. I know it can be done with iphoto and itunes, but I cant get it done. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I'm puzzled by the suggested procedures.
First, I personally prefer to use iPhoto to compose my slideshow: iPhoto simplifies the workflow of creating the slideshow and managing the transitions between each images (Ken Burns effects); iMovie always creates the same default KB effect, while iPhoto randomizes it and still allows for manual adjustments. I don't add music to the iPhoto slideshows.
Then, I export to iDVD each slideshow (Share / Send iDVD) to only get from my Movies folder (~/Movies/) the generated clip (MPEG4 720x540). iPhoto only proposes to "export" in 640x480, which is bad because too far from DV format.
Then, after I collect all my .mov files, and I trashed each DVD projects created in the process, I import to iMovie all the .mov files. iMovie "converts" each clip to 768x576 DV.
I'm able now to use iMovie to add the soundtrack. When done, I add my chapters and export the iMovie project again to iDVD. Of course, this time I complete the DVD project and burn a disc.
The method I've exposed here helps me a lot because I use each application at what it's best. But, it's all not straightforward.
--> And I don't understand WHY iPhoto does NOT export to iDVD directly in 768x576 DV format.
Can someone help/correct here ?
Thanks,
Thierry

Best way to duplicate slideshow dvd with music

I have a DVD slideshow put to music made as a tribute. What is the easiest way to make duplicate copies of this? The audio is in one directory and the pictures in another directory. Running MacBook Pro with 10.5.8 OS

Use the export button in the slideshow to create a video file of your slideshow. Copy it to an USB stick, and transfe it this way to the computers of your friends.

Extract Photos from iPhoto Slideshow DVD

I made a DVD via iPhoto for someone for the purpose of viewing pictures without actually having possession them, and I heard they found a way to get the pictures off.
Is this true, or was the iPhoto slideshow made incorrectly?
Thanks,
DiFFeReN7

Coincidentally I just saw this:
If you play the slideshow DVD with VLC (Video LAN Client)
<http://www.videolan.org> you can use the "Snapshot" command (Command-Option-S) in the "Video" menu to generate a file from each slide. The resolution will only be about 640 x 480

Burned CD/DVD no longer plays with PSE7

My father is a bit of a technophobe and he's been pulling his hair out for months trying to accomplish what he wants to do with his pictures. He has been using Elements since v4 (on my recommendation).
The Goal: Create an album, order the pictures, save to a CD/DVD/Memory stick for sharing as a slideshow on his HDTV.
The Solution: Once he has everything ordered as he wants it, rename all the files with a common basename (Elements adds the -001, -002 to keep them in order). Export the files to removable media.
The Problem: On the advice of Adobe technical support, he upgraded from PSE5 to PSE6 to help with some Vista compatibility issues. After literally weeks and about 30 out-of-order discs I discovered that PSE6 broke the renaming function by stripping the leading zeros, which throws off the ordering altogether. So now he's running a trial of PSE7, which fixes the leading zero issue and his memory stick into the HDTV works like magic. However none of the CDs or DVDs made with PSE7 can be read with his DVD player (the DVD player can display JPEG images). With the same DVD player, same brand of CD and DVD media, and same computer there was no problem reading discs created by PSE6. However upgrading to PSE7 now renders those discs unreadable. They work fine on the PC, just not the DVD player.
He's frustrated, and I'm pretty sore to be honest that he's dropping $100 a year just to keep up with bugs and compatibility problems. His use case hasn't changed since PSE4, he just keeps finding new bugs every time and support keeps convincing him to buy a new version.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why discs created with PSE7 using the "copy/move to removable disc" function would suddenly stop working in a commercial DVD player?
Thanks,
Peter

which DVD player you are using..
This is a strage problem. As far as I can understand your DVD-Player is not able to read CD/DVDs created through PSE.
You simply export the files using File>Export and burn using other standard burning softwares...
Were you able to play the CDs created through PSE6?

Slideshow created with iphoto will not burn with idvd

I cannot seem to burn dvd using idvd. slideshow created with iphoto

I'm having the same problem after upgrading to 10.3.9 and iphoto 4.0.3. Read below:
Until recently I was running 10.1.5 using iphoto 2 to burn folders of photos within a library. After upgrading to 10.3.9 and iphoto 4.0.3 I get a message: “The burn to the ARCHOS MiniCDRW XS8432 drive failed. The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry.”
Actually, I got another message before I installed patchburn 3.1.2. After installing patchburn 3.1.2 for 10.3.X, system profiler recognized my burner and says it is supported but the above message is displayed after the program has stopped the process.
Toast Titanium 5.2.1 burns CD’s just fine but when a CD with an iphoto library is inserted into the CD-ROM the iphoto program will not recognize it. In other words, it won’t show up in iphoto as an iphoto library or anything for that matter. Maybe there’s a way to do this in Toast or maybe I need something else to make iphoto work with my burner.
Can anybody help me? Thanks!

Bad quality DVDs with DVD SP 4

I have created some slideshows in Aperture and one in FCP, exported them in PAL 720x576 progressive 16:9, frame rate 25.
When I preview them in Quick time on my computer monitor they look great. As soon as I import them in DVD SP and stimulate, or buid/format to preview, all the images loose considerable quality with the graphics and text pixelated...
My settings in DVD SP are: SD DVD, PAL, encoding: MPEG-2 SD 16:9
What's weird is that the dvd menu appears pixelated too. Is it just a matter of monitor? From previous tests, I know for a fact that the Aperture slideshows do loose quality, when the dvd is tested on a tv screen.
I spoke to an Aperture pro today from Apple service and he told me that since the exported movies look good on quicktime, it should be a DVD SP issue.
Any suggestions on what settings could be wrong, or anything I can improve to get better results for my slideshow DVD? (unfortunately I couldn't contact an DVD SP pro for that since they charge £80 per question if you're not covered! - apple care is not enough by the way...)
Can you help me please?

> exported them in PAL 720x576 progressive 16:9, frame rate 25. <
MPEG2 is an interlaced format, usually. Try exporting interlaced from Aperture and see what happens.
But a big part of the issue is the additional scaling your images are going through. 720x576 is going to get squished to a letterboxed format that, exlcuding the black bard top and bottom, is less than 350 horizontal lines. That's only 50% of your rez out of Aperture. You'd be far better off providing a more accurate movie out of Aperture that requires less scaling in the encode to MPEG2.
I do such productions in FCP or Motion, using a timeline setting that corresponds to the finsihed product's needs. Export the rendered movie as self-contained, take that to DVDSP direclty or through Compressor to MPEG2.

How to create a DVD with 2 separate movies?

I'm a coach - and as I break down game film for my team, I'd like to distribute a single DVD with an Offensive film and a Defensive film, on a single DVD. Once I edit the original clips, I usually have about 20 minutes of offense, and 25 minutes of defense. Is it possible to open a DVD menu, in PE and just drag/drop my two films into the menu? I've already made the separate films - just can't find a way to put them on the same DVD - with separate launch buttons.
Please advise - thanks.
Coach B.

Coach B
In Premiere Elements, it is the placement of the menu markers at the Timeline level in Edit that is going to be the important first step. There placement at the Timeline level will determine how they are represented (linked to) the buttons in the menu(s). The menu markers for this are going to be main menu markers and stop markers as per details.
1. Setting up the Timeline.
Place a main menu marker at the start of the first file of Offense Section.
Place a stop marker at the end of the last file of Offense Section.
Leave a few frames gap between the end of the Offense and the start of the Defense.
(You cannot sit one marker on top of another)
Place a main menu marker at the start of the first file of Defense Section.
DO NOT place a stop marker at the end of the last file of Defense Section.
2. As shown in the blog post to which I referred you for background information, there are two types of buttons we could use for Offense button and Defense button on the main menu. Let us start with using just the thumbnail type button.
For now we will be assuming the end product as DVD-VIDEO Standard (4:3) on DVD disc.We will use the Sports/(AV)Extreme theme and do some file switching.
a. You need to get copies of the following files from the Program Data
sportchannel_pal_s_sm.psd
sportchannel_pal_s_mm.psd
They are copied at their saved located
Local Disk C
Program Data
Adobe
Premiere Elements
11.0
Online
DVD Templates
All_Lang
Sports
and in the Sports Folder are those two files cited above which you copy and paste to an empty folder that you created on the computer desktop.
b. Switch the file names so that the main menu has the scene menu design and vice versa. And, modify the names so that you do not mix up these modified files with anything else.
So, you want to end up with a folder name mysportchannel on the computer desktop
and in that folder are the two files who names you switched and changed.
sportchannel_pal_s_sm.psd is changed to mysportchannel_pal_s_mm.psd
and
sportchannel_pal_s_mm.psd is changed to mysportchannel_pal_s_sm.psd
Take the desktop mysportchannel folder with these modified files and place it in the following spot in the following path...
Local Disk C
Program Files
Adobe
Premiere Elements
11.0
DVD Templates
Common
and in the Common Folder place the mysportchannel folder.
When you go to select this theme in the Movie Menu customization of the opened project, look under the Slideshow catagory.
You should be looking at something like this in the Movie Menu customization area
Lots ot fine tuning yet to be done, detail wise.
1. Is your end product, DVD-VIDEO standard 4:3 or widescreen 16:9.
2. Do you want the music background that comes with the original main menu?
3. Do you want a Play All opportunity? This one allows for pick one or the other then return to the
main menu.
Please review the above. Do not hesitate to ask for clarification.
Thanks.

How to create a DVD with multiple video projects

I want to burn a DVD with several short video projects so that it will run without stopping in between.

Hi
*Play all resp one chapter at a time*
Play All Button
1. There are NO - Play All - button in any version of iDVD
2. It can be faked in several ways
• Easies and most fault proof way is to make a doublet movie containing All and with
Chapters set to match. It will take up x2 space but is easy to understand and produce.
• It's said that one can put all movies into a Photo/SlideShow and this will also
give the function of a Play All button - Never tested though.
• Using another program to do this eg. Roxio Toast™ where there ia a Play All button option.
Mike Evangelist1
You might be able to get close to what you want by using a slideshow in iDVD. (It's not widely known, but you can put videos in a slideshow.) If you set the slide duration to manual, playback will pause after each movie/slide, and you can continue with the 'next' button.

Can I back up individual image files to a slideshow DVD created in Premiere Elements 4.0?

I created a Premiere Elements 4.0 Project including 3 separate photo slideshows. The slideshows were created in Photoshop Elements 6.0 and imported into my Premiere Elements project. I was hoping that when burning the project to DVD, my image files would also be individually backed up.
When I give the DVD to family members I would like them to have access to the image files so they can print or use them individually. I would like to do this in 1 single DVD rather than giving them a DVD with the slideshows and a DVD with the image files. I was able to do this with a previous DVD authoring program I was using, but I cannot figure it out with Premiere Elements 4.0.
Any ideas if this is do-able with Premiere Elements 4? (I am running Windows Vista Home premium SP1 - 64bit - 3GB RAM)

Thanks for your help. I tried this. I burned the project to a folder (4.7GB) then to that folder I added a folder with my photos. So in the folder there was "Photos", "OpenDVD" and "Video_TS". I had 3 separate folders within the "Photos" folder, to keep the 3 slideshow photos grouped.
I burned the entire folder to a DVD using my burn tool. I don't even know the name of the software I used, but I think it was just the Toshiba burn tool. I dragged and dropped the folder into my new disc folder, then at the top of my screen clicked "burn to disc", I named the disc and chose from the formating options "Mastered: disc can be read on other computers and some CD/DVD... no new data can be added..."
Once burned I checked it on my DVD player and now it recognizes only the individual jpg files so it does a generic slideshow of these images rather than my slideshow project. (no menu, music...) Putting the disc in my computer I could access either the files or the slideshow project, but not on my home DVD player.
I burned the folders to 2 separate discs, once dragging the whole folder to the disc and once opening the folder and dragging only the individual folders to the disc.
Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. thanks.

I created a slide show using my photos on iphoto can I burn this to a dvd with the music in the backgroun

I created a slide show using photos from iphoto and I was able to put it to music to view it on my mac. I am trying to figure out a way to download it or burn it to a DVD with the music in order that it can be given as a gift. Also is there a way to use multiple songs for the slideshow.
thanks much

First if you slideshow requires more than one audio track go to iTunes and create a new playlist with the music you want. You can take the total time of the playlist and divide by the number of slides to get the approximate playing time for each slide.
In iDVD go into the slideshow window and then click on the Audio button at the right. Locate the playlist and drag it into the music bin at the bottom of the window.
Click to view full size
Be sure that non of the audio tracks are DRM protected tracks from the iTunes store. You won't be able to use them if they are. And remember this is only for slideshows created by iDVD from still photos imported from iPhoto.

Problems Creating Slideshow DVD using PSE 8.0

I have created a slideshow DVD in the past without problems. I have recently created a new slideshow of photos along with audio. It previews just fine in both PSE and Windows Movie Maker, but after I burned the DVD, only one song plays back when the DVD is in the TV.
Any suggestions?

Unless you have the combine programs Photoshop Elements & Premier Elements; there are limitations.
If you have other software; it’s possible to combine multiple tracks or play lists ant then attach them as a single file in the slideshow editor.

Import photos from slideshow DVD.

I made a slideshow DVD and trashed the original photos.
I now want to change the soundtrack - how can I import still photos from the DVD or alter the soundrack please?

The only way I can think of to do that would be to rip the DVD onto your mac into a quicktime format, then - with Quicktime Pro - dub the new soundtrack on and then re-burn it to a DVD.
The problem is the DVD format is a "final" format, not designed for re-editing.

Hi,
Sorry, let me try this way: Which application did you use to create the DVD disc ? Please note: BD is for BluRay Disc. Many BD players can play DVD but all DVD players (only) can not play BD's.

Making Photo Slideshows along with movies

Does FCE HD or FCP HD make good quality slideshows. iMovie seems to lose a lot of quality wihen making slideshows with photos. I am looking to make a DVD with movies as well as photos, and I am wondering what would app would give me the best quality.
Macbook Pro

I use Photo-to-Movie under http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
It makes better DV quality slideshows than iPhoto or iDVD (less shimmer and pixelation) and allows for very precise motion control of the "Ken Burns" effect. Then I import the finished "movie" to FCE and then export the movie to Livetype or Soundtrack to add titles or my own music.
