Burn DVD from iPhoto

Using iDVD 7.0.4 & iPhoto 8.1.1.
Music :If I burn a DVD from an iPhoto Slideshow, will the music in the slideshow be on the DVD ?
Text Slide :I want to add one or two slides which just have some text on - probably - a black background, how can I do this ?

I like iPhoto for slideshows, and what I do is Share/Export the slideshow to full-quality, large Quicktime video, including the selected audio. This video file can be dropped into or imported into iDVD.
You can create a graphics file in Photoshop or other software and save it as a jpeg or similar format. This can be imported into iPhoto without any difficulty.

    I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows.  My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over".  This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player.  Any suggestions on how to overcome the 99 "Chapter limitation" that IPhoto has?  Has anyone heard or tried an app called Vilisoft?  I read good things but I am not sure if it will do what I want.

    Then use multipel 99 picture slideshows. 
    You can have up to 8 or 9 slideshows per menu.  If you add a sub menu reduce that by 1 and add 8 more to the sub menu.  The top menu can have links to up to 8 or so submenus (depends on the theme) and each submenu can have up to 8 or so slideshows. 
    However, converting a very large slideshow to a QT movie as Terence suggested does not envoke the 99 slide limit in iDVD.  It just becomes a single video/movie file.  So you should not have a problem with exporting at the large size, 720 x 540,
    and dragging the resulting file into the iDVD menu being sure to avoid any drop zones.

  • Burned DVD from iphoto but pics are black

    I burned a DVD from iphoto that contained a large file of pictures. Upon opening the disk I could see the pictures. However, after scrolling through a few of them, my iphoto became extremely slow and then the pictures would not come back. Instead of seeing a picture I see a black box with a dotted frame where the picture should be.
    The DVD worked when I opened APSE and I edited my pictures that way.
    But why is my iphoto not cooperating with a disc that was created with iphoto?
    Is it because I created the disc using an older version of iphoto?

    Has something to do with me renaming the rolls of film.

  • Desperately needs help burning DVD from iPhoto

    I am using iPhoto 6.0.6. I desperately need help burning a DVD of a slide show that I created for my daughter's wedding.
    I put several songs together by opening them and then combining them using QuickTime Pro. I imported the audio into iTunes and created a slide show using iPhoto. The slide show is perfect! The slides are finally in sink with the music just as I want them! But I don't know how to burn the slide show as a DVD.
    I tried exporting the video from iPhoto to my computer, but at the end of the export, I get this message: please note that the music included in the slideshow can only be played on authorized machines. And when I try to play the video (after the export), most of the music on the video cannot be heard. When I try to authorize my machine, I am told that it's already authorized.
    If someone would send detailed instructions on how to proceed, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Is your problem the DRM audio tracks you purchased from iTunes store?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Burn DVD from IPhoto slideshow

    I read an earlier discussion on this topic but it made the process of burning a DVD from an IPhoto slideshow (with ITunes music track) almost impossible. I did try bringing the show into IDVD but the "formatting" of the "shows" you can choose from aren't appealing. Is there an easy way to do this?

    I found it easier to create and burn DVD slide shows from within iDVD, but before creating the slide show, I read the instructions provided by the iDVD "Help" menu. I don't remember the exact steps, but I remember dragging a folder with the pictures into the iDVD window first. I duplicated the folder and saved to the Desktop first, since I had to use Elements to enhance the photos before creating the slide show. By duplicating or creating a copy of the folder with the photos, I did not change iPhoto's folder structure.
    You will find the instructions on iDVD's help, under "Getting Started," page 29. Preview will launch to show you all you need to know. However, since I could not copy and paste the text on Preview, I printed just page (29) with the instructions.

  • How burn DVD from iPhoto in MacBook Pro

    I am trying to burn photos to a DVD . I inserted blank DVD-R, selected the photos, and selected burn  from the Share drop down in iPhoto.  Nothing happens.

    There a few ways, but the best instructions are in the Help menu in Finder. Type Burn a CD or DVD and it has all the options (I'm not trying to be sarcastic in pointing you at the Help menu, it's just the easiest way of showing you the options , honest).

  • Playback movie burned to DVD from iPhoto

    When I burn a movie to a DVD from iPhoto I get an error message on playback that says "the movie contains an invalid data reference and will not playback". Any suggestions?

    Also, the movies don't appear on the DVD when I play it in the DVD/Blue Ray in the other room.
    You can't burn a DVD like that with iPhoto. You need an authoring application like iDVD or Toast to correctly format the disk.

    How do I select photos, projects to burn for a dvd?

    Frank's answer tells you hao to export your slideshow movie on a data DVD. But if you want to burn a video DVD that you can play in a DVD player you will need additional software, see Karsten Schlüter's User Tip:

    When you export the videos out of iPhoto be sure to select Kind = Original.  Otherwise you'll just get an image file of the first frame of the video.

    I am reading this post in the iphoto for iOS forum. The iPad does not burn photos to a DVD. Perhaps you'll get some assistance if you posted in th general iPhoto forum.

    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

  • M30x MultiDrive will not burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker

    Hi,
    My M30x MultiDrive will not burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker and other applications.
    I have also had problems burning CDs (unbranded) from Windows XP, built in utility.
    Does the multidrive have problems, with cheaper brand disks?
    Just to note,
    The laptop has been back to the support guys three times so far with various issues.
    (1) The hard drive failed.
    (2) The multidrive failed.
    (3) The motherboard got replaced, because of power failures, it wouldnt charge the battery or recognise that the power adapter was plugged in.
    Note: The harddisk, not the exhaust fan makes the most noise in mine!
    Thanks

    Hi
    As far as I know the preinstalled burning software (i.e. record now, drag ndrop) disabled the Windows XP burning option. In this case if you want to use the Movie Maker or Windows media player burning option, you should to enable this possibility.
    Please go to driver properties (right click). Please select the Recording tab. The option Enable CD recording on this drive should be marked.
    I use the Nero burning software and in my opinion its a one of the best burning programs. Furthermore you should try different CD/DVD manufacturers because some CDs and DVDs are not compatible with some drives. Check the TDK CDs and DVDs. I never had any problems with these medias.
    Best regards

  • Burning CDs from iPhoto

    When I burn an album, how come the entire iPhoto LIbrary burns onto the CD when I click on just the album?
    imac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Sorry I wasn't clear, and thanks for all the assistance. It really ought not to be this difficult to put photos on a CD which you can then show to others on your TV instead of having them stand and line up behind your computer to watch.
    What I tried to do was to select a group of photos from our recent trip and put those in a separate album in iPhoto. Then I tried copying that album to a new folder on the destop using Finder. Then I tried burning those pictures onto a CD-R. It went through the burn process with verification, but the CD disc did not eject itself at the end as it does when you burn a CD directly from iPhoto. So I'm not sure if the burn process completed itself properly or if I should have copied to "New Burn Folder" instead of "New Folder".
    At any rate, I then manually ejected the disc, and took it to my CD player, which I bought specifically to play jpeg pictures
    (and it has done so with other CD's which I burned directly from iPhoto --- but these come out with all 3 copies of each pictures and therefore require mulitple discs --- and that's the problem I'm trying to cope with and avoid by making a separate folder elsewhere). The CD player showed an error message onscreen which said the disc could not be read. I then tried to see if the Mac could read it and play the pictures, and the iMac couldn't read the disc either.
    So back to square one: how do I successfully copy only the edited pictures that I select as being the "best" and avoid all the duplicates on the disc. In this case, I only wanted 110 pictures, and got 2 discs with 330 pictures by copying directly from iPhoto, but I'm not going to subject family to 330 pictures at a sitting.
