Burn movie as a whole

I am sorry if this has been covered before in here...
I am trying to make a copy of a home movie. I have loaded the video into iMovie and made a copy using iDVD. The only problem is that it only shows each chapter individually, then goes back to the scene selection screen. (Some chapters are 30 seconds, some are 7 minutes). Is there any way to make it into one long movie, without having to watch it chapter by chapter from the main screen?

Jennifer:
Yes, you can do that. Create a new iDVD project, select your theme and create a slideshow by clicking on the "+" button at the bottom. Open the slideshow and drag your iMovie project into the window like you would stills. This will force iDVD to scale the movie to the TV Safe area so you won't lose any of the image to the TV overscan.
You can also just drag the iMovie project into the iDVD menu to create the movie directly. But this way will result is the TV overscan I mentioned.

  • Idvd was not included with my mac mini how do I burn movies?

    dvd was not included with my mac mini how do I burn movies?

    It is now confirmed that iDVD and iWeb have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    In addition the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on.
    HOWEVER, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.
    You can purchase the iLife 11 boxed disk at the online Apple Store while supplies last or possible at Amazon.com or eBay.com.
    Happy New Year

    I’m going to get the I Mac and since the new I Mac doesn’t have DVD drive on it I was thinking to get the Samsung SE-506AB Slim Portable Blu-ray Writer in order to burn movies from I movie do I need a special software for that since the SE-506ab comes only with windows software.. but I did check and it is compatible with apple. Can you please advise me and or let me know if I’m buying the right stuff or if there is any other blu ray that will work with the I mac as plug and play.
    Thank you

    This freezing reminds me of really old Macs, long ago, in the days of the old-school peripherals like SCSI drives, terminators, scanners and the like. If you had a SCSI conflict, like the wrong device ID's or something, you'd freeze up like that. Back in those days you'd call 800-SOS-APPLE (AAPL?) and they'd run you through disconnecting all your extra hardware - Jaz and Zip drives, CD burners, scanners etc and then eliminate them one by one by adding them incrementally and testing for the freeze/bomb dialog.
    But, today we have Firewire and none of those ancient issues (no free lifetime tech support either). My iMac's ports are all full, and I only know which devices are connected when I have to remove something for another device. iSight, scanner, card reader, external hard drive, USB soundsticks, etc. You wouldn't happen to have any SCSI devices hooked up, would you?
    Out of curiosity, have you tried a different USB/Firewire port for the hard drive? Or run the hardware test DVD that comes with your computer? This weird freezing seems to suggest a problem with the computer, RAM or network more than a device. Bad devices, in my experience, cause kernel panics, not freezing.

  • Burning movies with chapter markers crash iDVD in snow leopard

    Hi Everyone-
    When attempting to burn movies that have had chapter markers added in iDVD, my machine will crash during rendering. Removing chapters fixes the problem, but I would like to use that functionality. I've tried the usual fixes (delete plist files, permissions repair, re-install iDVD, re-install snow leopard) with no luck.
    Any advice out there?
    Thanks

    Hi
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
    • Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
    iDVD pref file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named. com.apple.iDVD.plist
    While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iDVD.
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
    • Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
    iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
    I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
    emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
    and I am up and running.
    If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
    iDVD updated ?
    Apple Codec updated ?
    Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
    No of Colors - must be set to millions

    Thanks for all your help and thorough answers. After trying several things
    without success, I ultimately just rebooted the system and...bingo...the
    problem went away. It was such an unusual problem that it just didn't occur
    to me that it would be that simple. Sometimes it isn't. I appreciate your
    working to help me deal with this.

  • Burning movies bought in the iTunes store?

    Is it possible to burn movies bought in the iTunes store onto DVD so i can play them through a normal DVD player? It's kind of difficult for me and my family (four of us) to all gather around my 13.3" screen to watch a movie that i bought. Any help is appreciated.

    Officially no, they will allow you to back-up the movie as a "data file" on a DVD (for back-up purposes), but not burn it onto a DVD to watch in a DVD player. You would need to either connect your computer to your TV, or there are accessories available to connect your ipod, for video playback.
    There are some hacks/workarounds out there (try googling this topic), but nothing official.

  • How to burn movie with no theme

    I would like to burn movie without a theme...can't figure out how. I tried exporting to the desktop and then dragging onto Magic movie, but that still seens to require a theme.

    Thanks for replying Showman. I have seen reports on the forum as to a variation to the solution described here, but haven't tried it personally. It doesn't require looping of the movie, but is slightly more involved.
    The idea is to use a fairly basic theme, with no animation or music (one of the earlier themes if you have them). Replace the background with a black image and change all text to black. So effectively the theme is completely black. Now use the procedure previously described (which you are familiar with) to automatically play the DVD without seeing a theme (using the first drop box in Map view).
    But don't loop the movie. Now when the DVD finishes playing, it will return to the black theme (which is of course the opening menu). If you press Play or Enter it will start playing again, otherwise it will just sit there showing a black screen.
    That may be a better alternative for you. I will be interested to see how things go using Final Cut Express' "print to video" in conjunction with One Step DVD.

  • Burning movies on to dvd cds....

    i understand the late 2007 white macbook comes with dvd burner. I downloaded a couple of movies and was looking to burn them on a dvd cd to enjoy it on my tv. can someone tell me what kind of program i need to burn movies? thank you
    and does dvd-r and dvd+r both work?
    thank you

    Depends on the model you have. Each generation of MacBook has had a low end model that does not come with a DVD burner. It comes with a combo drive and the low end models are all white. There are two white models of each generation a low end one and a middle tier one. The late 2007 that has a DVD drive is the 2.2 GHz. The one with the Combo drive is 2 GHz.

  • Dvd wont burn movie all the way

    The dvd is 4.7 GB and the movie is 4.1 the dvd wont burn the whole movie it stops a little before the movie is over. HOw do we burn a long movie onto dvd?

    What is the total playing time of your movie? iDVD 5 has a 120 minute limit, including menus, in the Best Quality setting or a 60 minute limit in the Best Performance setting. The size of the files is not the determining factor, just the playing time.

  • Burning movie via iDVD

    Running OS10.4.3 on G5 I play my taped movie through a Canopus ADVC-55 into iMovie 4.0.1, resulting in about 25 gigs in 14 clips. I then ask iDVD to burn the whole thing to DVD, but it, of course tells me that it will not fit on a 4.7 gig DVD.
    So . . .
    How do I put my movie on a 4.7 gig DVD-R and end up with a DVD I can play on my Mac (or elsewhere)?
    Is there software I need in addition to iMovie?

    You may need to split this into two projects of an hour each.
    For splitting the movie see http://www.danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/usage/5003.shtml
    iDVD will happily compress 13 GB to 4GBto burn a disc.

  • Unable to burn movie to DVD without theme

    I created a movie on iMovie and would like to create a DVD without any of the themes offered in iDVD. Don't know or unable to do so.
    I finally settled on a theme with one drop zone. However, the trimmed clips I created in iMovie when dropped to the drop zone are untrimmed. I deleted the trimmed sections from the iMovie trash. Still it insists on transfering the whole silly clip. Don't have Quicktime Pro so can't do editing there. Any suggestions before I go crazy over this 4 minute movie!

    If you have a copy of Toast 7 you can do it. Create your DVD in iDVD (or in Toast if you like) and save it as a disc image. Open the disc image then select the option in Toast to convert a DVD from a VIDEO_TS folder. You'll then find there's an option to burn the main feature only. Select that and burn a DVD. Worked fine the last time I tried it - when you put the DVD in your DVD player it'll automatically play the movie and stop when it gets to the end which, I think, is what you want to do. The only two downers are that (a) it's a two stage process and (b) you need to buy a copy of Toast. It's really silly that iDVD won't let you do this but then quite a lot about iDVD is silly anyway.

  • IDVD not burning movie right

    I'm running an Imac-G5, 750 some ram with jaguar 10.3.2 I believe. I have a 1.5 hr movie w. some basic transitions & audio.
    Everything previews fine, until it reaches Idvd. The whole burning process ok, but once done, the dvd is pixealted & audio out of sync. I read all posting regarding best performance settings, bad ram etc etc. At this point I'm thinking to re-install Idvd. Any other ideas.

    Hi Enrique
    I would start with:
    - upgrade Mac OS to X.3.9 (not go for X.4)
    - upgrade QT to 6.5.2 (not go for 7)
    - upgrade iMovie to 5.0.2
    - upgrade iDVD to 5.0.1
    AND repair permissions with Apple disk util tool.
    See if this helps.
    Yours Bengt W

  • I can't burn movie to dvd on idvd

    I have completed my movie and I am ready to burn but when I insert the blank disk it tells me that I need to enter a recordable dvd.  I have tried several new disks and it keeps telling me the same thing on all.

    Where are you getting this mesage, in iDVD?  What happens if you insert the disk while in the Finder?  Do you get the same message? If so them it might be a problem with your optical drive.
