?? burn multiple iMovie movies onto one dvd with iDVD

I understand how to burn a single iMovie project onto a dvd by using the share menu to share with iDVD. But how can i burn multiple iMovie projects with iDVD onto one disc??

You can share the first movie from iMovie, but all the others will need to be exported from iMovie as movies and dragged into the iMovie project.

  • Burning 2 quicktime movies onto one DVD using iDVD

    I wonder if you could help me.
    I have 2 Quick time movies - created in FCP - one hour and 10 mins each . Is it possible to put both on one DVD using iDVD? (one is the front view and other side view of a performance).
    I have version 5.0.2 iDVD and am burning on desktop G5
    Both movies have chapter markers (created already in FCP)
    Is it possible to do this and how do I do it using the right menu and proper theme etc- and right method of importing or loading the movies.
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks

    Hello Nan,
    a Single Layer DVD can hold a maximum of 120 min of video (incl. menus), so either you burn 2 SL DVDs or try to put both movies on a Double Layer DVD, provided you have a burner capable of writing DL DVD.
    how do I do it using the right menu and proper theme etc- and right method of importing or loading the movies.
    I suggest you have a look at this tutorial by Ken Stone: Authoring with iDVD 5

  • Putting multiple iMovie projects onto one DVD

    I was wondering if there was a way to put multiple iMovie projects onto one DVD using iDVD?

    actually none of those options worked probably since the movies were in IMOVIE2
    Ah... You didn't say it was an iMovie 2 project. iMovie project is different from iMovie HD.
    I want to store the image file from the dvd's off site as I don't have the space to archive the projects - it seems I can't do that as it copies over to the server but shows up as a 4kb file - any suggestions how I can do this?
    I might be wrong (since I don't have iMovie 2), I assume iMovie 2 has the similar QT "reference" movie as the iMovie HD. This "reference" movie is not a "self-contained" (a QT term) movie, i.e. it only has instructions of the makeup of the "real" movies. You cannot use it to archive. If you want to offload your movie from your computer, you should copy the entire iMovie 2 project folder to an external archive.

  • Everytime I try to burn an iMovie project to a DVD with iDVD, the disc is ejected during the Burning and Multiplexing phase before it's completed.

    For months I have been unable to burn any iMovie project to a DVD using iDVD.  During the Burning and Multiplexing phase the disc is ejected before it's complete.  I went the Genius Bar and after many tests I was told that my disc drive was pretty much dead.  The person that helped recommended that I buy an external DVD burner from amazon.  I bought the new drive and I can now burn files, but I'm still encountering the same issue burning a movie.  Does anyone have any idea what'g going on?  I'm extremely frustrated at this point!

    Read this treatise on Multiplexing by  Bengt Wärleby: HT1645 I was burning a DVD and the...: Apple Support Communities.
    Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
    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.
    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.

  • Combine Several Movies on One DVD with iDVD?

    I have a couple of slide shows I made in iMovie, and I have a DVD that has a video_ts file on it. Can I put the two slide shows and the video_ts movie all on one DVD as long as there is room? I so, I would need 3 menu choices. Can I do this with iDVD?

    Here's how to do it with Toast 8. Insert the DVD that has the existing video (or place the VIDEO-TS folder on the desktop if it's on the hard drive rather than on a disc). Choose DVD video as the format in the Toast Video window. Choose DVD with the top button of the Toast Media Browser. Double click on what appears in the browser. You'll see a thumbnail image of each title on the source DVD (which may be only one title in your case. Select the title you want and drag it to the video window. Toast then extracts the MPEG video file from the DVD or VIDEO_TS folder and writes it to the Roxio Converted Items folder.
    Now add your other videos. You probably can use the Media Browser for this as well by choosing Movies with the top button.
    Arrange the titles the way you want in the Video window. Click on the thumbnail to scroll to the image you want to appear in the Toast menu. Edit the text the way you want it to appear and select the menu style and how you want the DVD to play (do you want it to go to the menu first or auto play the first title; do you want the titles to automatically play one after the other or go back to the menu).
    I suggest choosing Save as Disc Image from the File menu when you think you have it the way you want. When the disc image is finished, mount it and preview it using DVD Player. If all is good, burn the disc image file using the Image File setting in the Toast Copy window. If it isn't what you want, continue to refine it in the Video window and choose Save as Disc Image again.
    By the way, Toast automatically empties the Converted Items folder when quitting unless you change that in Toast Preferences. You don't want that folder emptied until you have your final DVD.
    Let me know if you have any questions.

  • Burn multiple iphoto albums to one dvd

    Hi,
    I would like to burn multiple iphoto albums onto one dvd.
    Any help would be much appreciated,
    Brandon

    What's the destination of this disk? Another Mac with iPhoto? Then use the Share -> Burn command
    Anything else: Select the Albums in the iPhoto Window and export them to Folders on the desktop. Then burn those folders with the Finder.
    One exception: Going to view the files on a DVD player? You'll need to create the disk in iDVD.
    Regards

  • I have a 2011 MacbookPro.  I'm trying to burn an iMovie trailer onto a DVD that will work on a TV.  When I go to "share" as instructed, it prepares the movie but then can't find iDVD on my computer.  Help!

    I have a 2011 Macbook Pro.  I'm trying to burn an iMovie trailer onto a DVD that will play on a TV.  When I follow the directions and go to share, my computer can't find iDVD.  Help?

    iDVD is no longer supported by Apple and does not come pre-loaded on new Macs.
    If your computer did not come with iDVD and iWeb preinstalled, you can ask Apple for a free copy here:
       http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
    Alternatively, you can purchase a boxed version of iLife '11 from Apple, Amazone, etc. Boxed versions come with iDVD and iWeb still on the disk.

    That's a proprietary interface.
    Odds are there is no adapter. Ask Sony.

  • Burning two separate disks onto one dvd

    I have a dvd with 1.7 gigs on it and another with 2.2 gigs. Is it possible to burn both disks onto one dvd or do I have to import them back into idvd and make a new dvd out of that?

    Hi Larry
    You'll lose some quality since its already been compressed but yes there is software that allows you to import back into iMovie via QT in addition to the great link Len provided above:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.products.htm
    (end product sometimes looks like low quality VHS though)
    May want to try the free demo first.

  • Burning multiple disk images onto a dvd

    I made successful disk images created from DVs of short Ken Burns imovie projects. I then burnt them using disk utility. However, these were burnt onto indivdual disks and I got the idea that it would be a good if I could link the images together and burn them onto one dvd disk. However, this does not seem to be possible as I can't see a way of creating chapter markers now that I no longer have the original DVs, and although I got the image files onto a disk by dragging them on, (disk utility wouldn't allow me to select more than one image at a time), the disk won't open on the television dvd player and therefore it can't be played.
    I'm therefore assuming that what I'm trying to achieve isn't possible?
    Thanks,
    June

    your whole topic is Finder-related, MacOs allows/supports simple drag'n drop...
    your both .imgs exist at some location of your Mac, right?
    no app needed nor running...
    insert an empty dvd-r
    your Mac will ask you what to do...
    you do: drag'n drop both .img files onto disk...
    hit the burn button in disk's window..
    no step 3), boom! done..

  • How do I burn an iMovie project onto a DVD?

    I have recently completed an iMovie project, and I want to burn the project onto a DVD. I have exported the project and burnt it, but it only opens with iTunes and Quicktime, and I was hoping to play the movie on a DVD player. I am desperate and need assistance ASAP !!

    When in iMovie, click Share then iDVD. In iDVD you can customize your dvd menu. After you are done, then click File, Burn DVD or ⌘+R. And it will ask you to insert your blank disk and then it will start burning. After it has completed the burn, it will ask you if you want to make another disk (if you want multiple copies). Your movie should then be viewable on any DVD player.

  • Fit a 2 hour iMovie on ONE DVD with iDVD??

    I have a 2 hour movie in iMovie. I have shared it to iDVD and cannot burn it to one DVD. I've been told that other programs offer settings where I can lower the quality to fit it on one DVD... however I cannot find the settings in iDVD. I do see one setting where I choose from "Best performance, High Quality, or Professional Quality" ...it's already on Best Performance which I assume is the lowest quality. ANY IDEAS on how to change video in iMovie or iDVD?? Thanks!

    The encoder settings you need is for 120 mins or less of QT playback which is High Quality (a bit of a misnomer IMO).
    To paraphrase David Pogue's book on iDvd, with Best Performance, iDVD allots a pre-determined fixed amount of data to each frame of video, even if most of the disk will be empty. The burning process is faster and the quality is great. With Best Quality, iDVD uses the entire disk by analyzing the amount of video, dividing it into the amount of space available so that the amount of information in each individual frame varies from project to project. It takes longer to burn, but gives two hours of great video.
    In regard to Roxio Toast, it does have an option for Fit to DVD in the form of a simple check box which is highly useful as well.

    Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

  • How can I get 20 different movies onto one dvd and have them play consecutively?

    I am having a hard time converting all of the videos I've taken of my kids from my iphone onto a dvd. I would like the videos to play consecutively as if we were watching home movies from our regular video recorder. How can I convert my videos to one dvd?

    If the total playing time for all of the videos is less than 120 minutes create a slideshow in iDVD and add the movies to it in the order you want them to play.  Select any slide duration time except manual.  Do not add any music to the slideshow as it will override the audio in the video files and do not add any transition as it won't be a smooth transition.
    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.

  • How do I burn several Video_TS folders onto one DVD?

    A cousin had some very old (as early as 1929!) film converted and burned to three DVDs, of them short (the total run time is under an hour). What's the best way to combine them into one DVD so I can duplicate it and send to other family members? I'm copying the VIDEO_TS files but am leery of re-naming them for fear of confusing Toast 7.
    Can iDVD6 help do this more simply?

    How fabulous!
    The old family movies I converted to DVDs were only from 1958!
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS folders back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip (you just drop the TS folder into the Streamclip window):
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    (Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal. )
    Once in iMovie you can edit the 'stray bits' out, have each old movie as a chapter etc.
    Then send it to iDVD for burning, or use Toast.
