Burn keynote prensentation onto DVD to play on DVD player

I have created a slide show in Keynote and I want to burn it onto a DVD to play in a DVD player. I exported to quicktime and created a version there. It has a .m4v extension when completed. Then I burned that to the DVD disc. It won't play in a DVD player. I tried changing the extension to .mv4 and .mov but it till won't play. This is getting expensive. I need this in 2 days. I have researched the web and followed every advice I could find. I cannot afford to buy more software such as toast, to make this work.

It has a .m4v extension when completed. Then I burned that to the DVD disc.
That is not how you make a DVD Video.
This is the workflow you need to use:
Export a Quicktime Prores file from Keynote using custom settings
Use a DVD authoring application to create a DVD Video: examples are iDVD; no longer available from Apple but Amazon and ebay have it available, or try the free test of isky DVD Creator.

Hi
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.

You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

It generally means that the media is faulty or of poor quality. Most of us here use Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden media.
OR
Your Superdrive may need a clean.
If you have further questions please state what Mac, with what versions of OS X, iMovie and iDVD you are using.

How do I burn my videos onto dvd

I tried burning a video playlist onto DVD afterwards I tried playing it but the files could not be read. Please Help!

Movies and TV Shows purchased from iTunes Store cannot be burned to DVD in a format readable by traditional DVD Players. you are only able to burn them as data, readable by other iTunes capable computers.

How do I burn iTunes library onto DVD-RW? I'm a schmuck.

Tab: Advanced/Burn only says data - CD; Why can't I burn it as a Audio DVD. I checked help. I got Itunes 6, Sonic ain't working. Neither is Windows Media player. I don't get it. I created playlist, went back to main library, selected all, then back to playlist, and pasted, then burn; I don't know, I'm a schmuck. Nothing can work for me. Like I'm a 3 year old, step 1, 2, 3, how do I do this please? Ask me whatever ya want regarding this, to ensure this can even be done, but please, someone kindly help me? I'm using a (period) > "Staples" DVD-RW, says up to 4x, what am I doing wrong or am I that much of a *******? My email is [email protected] Thank you in advance. My iTunes library is: (367) songs, and 1.53GB. Take care.

Currently, you can not burn purchased videos to a "Playable" DVD. You CAN burn them to a Data DVD for backup, but there not playable.
If you look at the "Terms of service" agreement, it states in section 9 under Usage rules.....
"You shall be entitled to export, burn (if applicable) or copy Products solely for personal, noncommercial use. You shall not be entitled to burn Video Products."
http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/service.html
I know, this does suck, I myself wish I could burn the videos I buy to a DVD to play on the TV. Its just currently Hollywood wants there content very well protected, and currently theres no way to burn it to a DVD and have its protection carry over onto the burned DVD.

Burning 130 min onto DVD

Hello, I have a movie that I made that is 130 minutes. I am unable to burn this using i dvd unless i choose a lower quality. Does anyone have other options that would keep the picture quality integrity.
I thought that I might have to break the movie into two sections and burn two dvds, or edit 10 minutes out to fit it onto one dvd. Any ideas. Thank you.

It would be very nice if iDVD could use compressed audio like AC3 (or M1A) instead of using uncompressed PCM. In long DVDs the PCM audio starves video the bandwidth it really needs. For example:
With 120 minutes the 1536 kb/s PCM audio takes a whopping 1.3 GB of the DVD and leaves only an average of about 3452 kb/s for the video.
A good quality compressed 384 kb/s AC3 audio would take only 0.3 GB/120 minutes leaving about 4604 kb/s for the video (192 kb/s AC3 audio would leave about 4796 kb/s for the video -- not a very big difference compared to 384 kb/s audio).
So even with good quality compressed audio, there would be considerably more bandwidth available for the video with long DVDs.
I don't know why iDVD uses bloated PCM. Maybe it is less demanding to simply use noncompressed audio (iDVD 5 seems to sometimes have trouble even with that Or maybe there are licensing issues.
BTW, the following handy formula calculates the average video bitrate to use to fill up a DVD disc based on the selected audio bitrate:
Video Rate [in bps] = (598566666 / Time [in minutes]) - Audio Rate [in bps]
For example:
(598566666 / 120 [in minutes]) - 1536000 [in bps] = 3452055 b/s = 3452 kb/s

No video when playing disc burned from iDVD on DVD player

I've tried for the first time to burn a DVD (TV shows purchased on iTunes) and followed the directions from the iDVD help guide, but when I try to play on my external DVD player there's no video, only audio. I saw a couple posts where people had video and no audio, but not the opposite. How do I resolve? I'm using Memorex DVD-R discs and am not very technologically savvy.

Hi fitzmonster
Welcome to apple discussions. Just to add to the already good advice mentioned above. I do have a question. By any chance are you using Memorex Dvd's? If so, it simply adds one more variable to an already bad equation. Try Verbatim or Maxell instead.
Given the lack of recent updates to iDvd, seems to me Apple is currently focused on streaming content from your Mac to your TV thru such products as iTunes and their latest AppleTV. iDvd doesn’t always fit into this mix. In comparison, iDvd is dated / old technology centered entirely on standard definition TV. Their latest AppleTV is well beyond this.
Also there are many products out there that work rather well together and may be better matched on your mac other than iTunes, AppleTV and iDvd. One must keep in mind that iDvd is not really intended as a general purpose burn utility. Toast may be a better choice here but neither iDvd nor Toast will circumvent DRM.
So the question we need to ask is, How well do all three apple apps / products mentioned above play together? Are they in harmony? IMHO the answer is no .... mainly because iDvd is rather dated technology. Hence, as a consumer I do think it's smart to look elsewhere / at other products /options if the intention is to burn TV Programs to Dvd-R ... as opposed to streaming content from a mac to your TV or iPod.
Like I said, Roxio Toast is a reasonable choice but Elgato combined with EyeTV3 software is even better one. It's better because it’s written and built around recording TV shows / programs. That and it's not limited to iTunes.

Burning an iMovie onto dvd

I have a Mac air and have finalised my iMovie 11. Can you tell me how to burn it onto a DVD so I can watch it on my video player? I have bought an external DVD player to do the job but I don't know which app I need to actually burn the movie.
Thanks

Burning photos compatible with DVD player

I want to create a DVD (or CD) with titled photos, i.e. an album. How do I export photos to a disc that can be read on a standard DVD player so they can been shown on a TV set? My IPhoto instructions sas the burning feature in iPhoto isn't compatible with Windows, which may be why such a disc won't work on my DVD player. I've tried moving an entire album as pdf but the titles with the photos disappear. Also, does DVD vs. CD make any difference? Thanks for any help!

James,
In order to have a true manual slideshow in iDVD, you can't select any music to be played with the slides. If you have assigned music to the slideshow, drag it out of the box beside the Slideshow Volume until it goes "poof." Then when you click on the Slide Duration menu (lower left) the "Manual" option will be active, and you can select it. Also click the Settings gear and select the option to "Display navigation arrows." When you Play the slideshow in iDVD, you have to use the little remote control (right arrow) to advance the slides; clicking the onscreen navigation arrow won't do it.
If you wanted music, you can have the navigation arrows displayed and set the duration to 10 seconds (the longest choice). Or set a long playlist as the music and set duration to "Fit to Audio". However, this is problematic, because when the viewer advances the slide the music skips forward to match. It might be okay if the viewer only advanced one or two, but for a true manual show the interrupted music would be a major distraction.
Regards.

Disk Image Burn Won't Load DVD Player

Created a disk image in iDVD.
Opened the image and testing its functionality. All is well.
Go into Disk Utility. Select the image and burn.
Resulting disk doesn't not signal DVD Player to launch and play upon mounting.
I can manually open DVD Player and choose open DVD media and the disk plays as expected. What am I missing here.
Thanks in advance...

Once you have the disk image file on your desktop, click on it once to mount it.
Then open the DVD Player application and the image file should start playing.
The mounted disk image file does not automatically open DVD Player.

Burning Iphoto Slideshow for DVD player

When I burn a slide show to a DVD my DVD player says invalid format....what am I doing wrong?

The correct way is to go Share -> Send to iDVD, and then complete the disk in that app. My guess is that you exported the slideshow (hence getting the option to compress to mpeg4 - this doesn't happen when you use the Share -> Send to iDVD command). The Share -> Burn option is not available for slideshows.

How do i copy/burn my library onto dvd/cd?

Hi i am quite a computer novice so please speak in none technical terms. I would like to back up my itunes library onto a dvd or even several audio cds. My library is only 4GB and i had tried:
1. to copy library into playlist and then use the icon to burn to data dvd. It went through all my songs but said the disk was blank at the end.
2. Copy my library to several audio cds.Each cd holds approx 700MB therefore i pressumed that it would take 4 discs. However only a few songs copy onto the disc at a time.
Is it something simple that i am not doing.
Any help on both senarios would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

hi Jonathan!
hmmm. not precisely focussed on your specific question, but here is a good general resource on backing up:

Burning uploaded video onto DVD

Sorry to be a dolt... Using a fancy cable from my Sony Handycam, I have uploaded a few hours of home video onto my MacBook Pro and have been looking through it in iMovie. But I can't seem to locate the function that stitches together various pieces and then burns them onto a recordable DVD. Just not finding this in the iMovie menu options properly. What I need is probably a basic iMovie functionality tutorial, but maybe a quick answer will point the way.
I also paid for Apple's Final Cut Express app when I bought the MacBook in 2008, thinking I would eventually do some more advanced video editing, and it's on the machine but I haven't even looked at it yet. Final Cut is more than I need at this stage and if I can't even manage the most basic aspects of iMovie, well..
thanks, Will

Hi Will
In iMovie, you essentially need to start a new project, and then drag your event clips into it. There are some pretty good tutorials on the iLife site - for iMovie...
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie
(The first tutorial shows you how to add events to a project.)
...and iDVD, which you would use to create a DVD.

Post back if you have more specific problems!
