Burning a presentation to a cd

I created a presentation from a subset of my pictures. Everything is nicely in order, but when I burn it to a cd the order is changed. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

> when I burn it to a cd the order is changed
No it isn't. Files on a CD do not have an order. The order that they appear in depends upon how you look at the CD. Commonly files are viewed in filename order, but it could be date, type or a whole lot of other parameters.
I assume you have made a collection in PSA SE. Right?
That being the case, you could rename the files before burning. [Click the collection, select all (CTRL/A) and do File/Rename.]

Error message trying to burn keynote presentation in idvd

I know this has been posted before - but I can't seem to find an answer to fix my problem. I am trying to export a 30 slide presentation from Keynote 3 to iDVD 6 - the presentation is using slides which should be the optimum slide size for iDVD (according to help files) it has an sudio file with it, but when I go to burn it using iDVD i get the following error message:
Error During Track Initialization
There was an error during track initialization and iDVD
cannot continue burning this DVD 'the disc has not been
touched yet!). Please select Delete Encoded Assets'
from the Advanced-menu and try burning this project again.
I tried exporting the presentation to QT, which then worked and allowed me to burn the dvd, but the picture quality was completely rubbish.
Am at a total loss what to do next as have spent last three days trying various things with no success... idvd now keeps crashing on me as well. I have an urgent deadline I need to meet by next week

Does your slideshow in Keynote have audio associated with it?
Exporting from Keynote to iDVD6 will essentially strip the audio from said presentation. As as you may have noticed, the results aren't all that great in terms of visual quality either .... and it will get even worse once compressed into mpeg2 /iDVD which is less than a third of a megapixel in resolution for still images). It's just the nature of the beast until we seen Blue Ray firmly established. This begs the question .... then why use this particular option for a slideshow presentation ??? Not the approach I'd use at all.
Suggestion: Find a better way to present your 30 slides /presentation that will do some measure of justice to the original image. Here are two apps I'd recommend looking into:
http://lqgraphics.com/phototomovie.php
http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/overview/
Btw ... most Errors During Track Initialization tend to point at user's choice of media and or read/write speed when burning. I recommend using only Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R for troubleshooting purposes on this forum. Take the time to lower the burn speed to 4x or lower using apple's disc utilities or Roxio Toast. (Slower is better).
Hope this helps but if not come on back.

How to burn Powerpoint presentation to IMovie?

Can I take my Powerpoint presentation and save as a movie and then burn to a DVD via IMovie?
I am attempting to view this at home on a DVD player before presenting the PPT to a group on a big screen soon. I want to see how it comes across on a bigger screen than what I have on my monitor. Any help is appreciated!

If you have iDVD and a DVD burner (SuperDrive) on your mac, you can choose that as an export option in iMovie.
Or you can save your movie to the desktop as a Full Quality Movie and drag it to iDVD from there.
Here's a great tutorial:

Error with burning slideshow presentation to dvd

i'm currently trying to make a dvd of my many pictures taken from vacation. when i take and export my slideshow from iphoto into idvd i can make all my menus and such just fine. when i got to burn i put my disc in and it renders all my menus and photos and then i always end up with an error at the end. either for the media or multiplexing and what not.
i am using a fairly old powermac..and a 3rd party burner. but the powermac uses the burner just fine for cds and such outta itunes. and the slow speed of the computer doesn't seem to affect it that much just in the time it takes for the whole process.
i've read plenty about making a .img file of the project and then burn that to dvd using toast or disk utility. the only problem with that is that i don't have toast...and disk utility wont allow me to play my dvd in my player...so
i'm curious if my computer is just to slow for this? or if i'm doing something wrong in idvd to make it not work? (i'm a total newbie to making dvds) or if there is some kidna other error? and is there a free alternative to toast?

Hello Alarkin,
is there a free alternative to toast?
Yes, it's Disk Utility - just follow this procedure:
1. create the disk image in iDVD
2. double-click the resulting .img file to "mount" it. Next launch DVD Player to view your DVD .... if everything is fine, close DVD Player and eject the virtual disk.
3. Open Disk Utility and drag the disk image into the left hand pane, then hit burn.
Note: Set the burn speed to 2x or even 1x. Most burn errors are the result of high burn speeds. Also use only high quality DVD-R media (e.g. Verbatim)
hope this helps

How to burn a powerpoint 2013 presentation to a DVD R and or USB flash drive.

My Powerpoint 2013 slideshow includes photo's, clip art with transitions and animations and embedded music.   I want to
burn this presentation to either a DVD disk or a USB flash drive and send it to a friend.   My friend has a windows 7 desktop
computer and a DVD player attached to a TV.   Ideally I want to know how to burn the presentation to a DVD so that the presentation can be played back on the TV using the DVD player.    I do not want to lose any of the transitions
or animations when I burn the presentation to a DVD.          I know most TV's have a USB connection but have no idea how this works if the
presentation is copied to a USB flash drive.   What are my best options to keep the integrity of the presentation intact, and how do I go about doing this?   I need detailed instructions please.   Thanks in advance
for your assistance.

Hi,
The factor of keeping the integrity of presentation when you burn this presentation to either a DVD disk or a USB flash drive depends on performance of DVD disk and USB flash drive.
There are two ways to put PowerPoint presentation on a DVD convert PPT to video.
1. Convert PPT Files To DVD is to use a screen capture software.
2. Convert and Burn PowerPoint Presentation onto DVD would be to use a professional PowerPoint to DVD converter software.
For more detail information:
http://worldclassmedia.com/how-to-convert-powerpoint-files-to-dvd-put-a-powerpoint-presentation-on-tv/
If your TV doesn’t have built-in processors or Windows installed, it can’t run PowerPoint presentations in their native environment from a USB connectors. If so, you should convert it to video format first.

ITunes no longer recognizes my burner after upgrade to VIsta!!

I honestly don't get what's going on: I recently updated my OS to Vista ultimate x64 and now iTunes decides it doesn't want to recognize my DVD-RW drive. iTunes says that there's no recognizable burning device present. But here's where it gets weird: i can play cds and IMPORT them to my iTunes library, and it knows when i've inserted a cd. but i can't burn them.
Now, i've updated my firmware, i'm running the most current version of iTunes and windows has all the newest updates. So why won't this thing work? The support section from apple had an article involving some registry edits that could help but the article is kinda flawed (it says to delete the lowerfilters but there are no lowerfilters) and they're solution didn't work anyway. apple needs to step on the gas here and produce a REAL vista-ready version of iTunes, because its not getting any better.
I also think it's funny that if you post a question on the wrong forum, rather than answer your question, an apple rep will tell you that you've posted on the wrong forum and need to re-post at the correct forum. wow, now THAT's service...

Need help choosing Software for a Slide Presentation

I'd really appreciate some advice....I need to make a slide presentation with an audio soundtrack. There don't need to be any fancy special effects as the slides transition. A simple fade in & out is all I'm looking for. All I need is for some of the slides to show longer than others (maybe 6-8 secs. vs 3-4 secs. for the rest.) There are about 250-300 slides which I have in i-photo and the soundtrack will be 4 tracks I have in i-tunes. I need to be able to burn the presentation onto a DVD once it's assembled. Will the Keynote application in i-works do this or should I use something else?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thx in advance, Malco
powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Welcome to the discussion boards, malcoinc . It sounds like what you want to do would best be accomplished from within iPhoto itself, using its slideshow functionality -- I believe it has all the capabilities you are looking for, including sending the slideshow directly to iDVD once it is completed. I'd suggest reading the iPhoto documentation on this feature before considering moving to some other solution, as anything else is likely to be more complex.
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning?

I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning? Presently after exporting and burning each photo is identified by the file name rather than each individual title description.

File name and Title are not the same thing.
Filename is attached to the Jpeg file in the Finder.
Title is attached to the photo within the Jpeg file - as is the description. These are written to the Exif and IPTC metadata on export.
So: File -> Export. Kind: Jpeg or Tiff and Check the box at 'Title and Keywords'. This will write the Title, keywords and descriptions (though not explicitly stated) to the metadata. This can then be viewed in any app that understand this material.
You can choose, if you wish, to also use the Title as a Filename - that's an option at File Name

How to Burn a QT movie

I created a keynote presentation, and I exported it to QT so it can be viewed by presenters who don't have Keynote. In QT by clicking on the screen the presentation progresses -- all is fine as I want it.
I now want to burn the presentation to a cd so that it can be played on other computers mac/windows as a QT movie. How do I get the QT movie to burn to a cd?
Suggestions?
Carl

Hi guys
Thank you for the reply. I've managed to get a disk burnt of the QT movie, but a couple of strange things happened that I hope you can shed some light on.
When I put the disk in the Mac and play the Keynote presentation, it works but in the slides with video both the video and audio are jerky-- sort of stalls out then leaps forward as though it's trying to catch up.
I put the disk in my dell with QT for windows on it that I recently downloaded as a bundle with itunes. I put the disk in, then I open QT player. It comes up and in file I click on the disk drive, highlite it and click open. Guess what -- error -103 is displayed with the phrase error of unknown origin. It won't play there at all.
Any clues or suggestions to solve either of these problems.
Thanks
Carl

Burning Directly to DVD

I have a fully automated Keynote presentation (timed music and slides) which I need to burn directly to a DVD. In the past I have been unhappy with using iDVD for various reasons.
What would be the best way, and provide the highest quality, to burn this presentation to a DVD, to run on 'normal' DVD players?
Thanks for any assistance you can offer.
Bill J.

I'll address both questions..
#1, I have Toast, iDVD and DVD Studio Pro...You can probably guess which one I use when making a custom DVD. I haven't used Toast, but if it's got an auto play feature I'd use that. I use iDVD quite a lot, though I sometimes pick one of the really old themes, especially if I'm giving a DVD to someone who's going to play it on a screen. I pick a still menu with NO music, so that they can keep the audio up and not have to mute the thing.
#2, Here's a lesson in resolution...DV and the DVD format use the same res for standard TV...that's 720x480 (looks like 640x480 on a TV because the pixels aren't square). People have said they sometimes get better quality letting iDVD do the conversion from Animation to Mpegs (DVD format) skipping the DV file altogether. I should mention you'll likely want to export your preso at 720x540 if you're using Animation right into iDVD. Otherwise it might scale your show badly.
But if you want to go through iMovie first, you're dropping into DV space right away. My recomendation if you're doing that is to go ahead and tell Keynote you're exporting to iDVD...let it make a DV movie for you. It'll open iDVD, but you can just quit it right away. Look for the DV movie file (might end in .mov) that Keynote created for you...and pull THAT into iMovie. DOn't worry if it looks bad, iMovie doesn't show you the full quality image, it shows a reference file. If you want to check it on a TV, connect a DV camcorder to iMovie and turn on the pref that lets you preview out the camcorder. Then connect a TV to the camcorder and watch your movie on the TV.
Just remember you're going from 1024x768 solid images to 720x480 interlaced, you're GOING to lose quality, and you're going to get flicker, especially in thin white lines and text. Photos too will tend to flicker.
The really good stuff you see on TV is really processed for color before it goes out, so unless you have at the least Final Cut Express (so you can apply softening, flicker filters and other color filters) you might not be happy with what you get.
Hope that helps!

Make a presentation with videos that can be used on a Windows PC.

I need to make a presentation that can be projected from a PC using Windows. I am using Keynote 09, and some of my "slides" are short videos in m4v format. How can I burn the presentation onto a CD so the CD can be used by a Windows PC?

He can't upload new photos for BannerZest as they have to be added to the application and included in the script.
Its possible for him to upload movies and slideshows to a folder on the server so that you can provide a hyperlink to the movie on the website so that it opens and plays in a new browser window.

More on Problem Burning/Playing Self-playing DVD

Project: to burn and play a self-play DVD
Process: to do this I ....
....first created a slideshow in Keynote
....second exported as a Quicktime movie
....third burned a DVD - however, when placed in a DVD player, I received a message on the player that it was a data disk!
....fourth I used iDVD to create a DVD - however, when it played, "Movies" had to be selected and then the movie to be played had to be selected - what I would like to have is a DVD that will play the movie itself when inserted into a DVD player.
...fifth used iDVD to create another DVD and used its map function and dropped the movie on the firs square for it to be played automatically - this process was suggested in a reply to my post in iDVD- however, it resulted having to make the same selections as before.
...sixth used "Burn.app" which converted my Keynote slideshow to a movie in mpg format and burned the DVD - however, when I played the DVD in a DVD player, the message came up on the TV screen "Playback Prohibited by Area Limitations" and it would not play
I also have used a Burn Folder on which I placed my Quicktime movie but when used in a DVD player, I received the message on TV screen that it was a data disk!
I would appreciate any suggestions, help, and information on how to burn a DVD that will simply automatically play the movie when placed in a DVD player without the introductions and selections to be made when iDVD is used.
Thanks very much for your help.

How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:

Superdrive won't burn CD in iTunes

I just got the new 13" retina display Macbook Pro and had to buy the superdrive to burn CDs. My issue is that when I try to burn in iTunes, it says that no disc burner is present. I read the instructions inside and there is not info that leads to an answer. Thanks in advance!

Got it. I just restarted it about 5 times and it eventually reset it or something.

"Internal Software error: %0, line%1" when burning to DVD

I recently upgraded my Premiere Elements 8 to 10 on my Dell laptop running vista. I have a 24 minute slide show with some video clips in it and a menu. I can output to avi, etc but cannot burng a DVD. Everything looks normal until it gets to 99% of the burn then I get the error "internal software error: %0, line%1" and my DVD is ejcted and I have to cancel out of the burn process. I've read various other similar problems on here but with slightly different error messages. I've tried outputting an avi file, importing it and burning to DVD from that but get the same error message. Any ideas?

I do not work for Adobe, nor am I affiliated with it in any way. No relatives there either. I come with no bias in my remarks to follow.
I have Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 and 8.1 64 bit and decided to take a look at what you feel is a bug in Premiere Elements 11 when it comes to burn to disc DVD-VIDEO on DVD using MPEG2 and .mp4 source files.
I took 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second (AVCHD.mp4) and 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second (MPEG2.m2t) into a Premiere Elements 11 NTSC/DSLR/1080p/DSLR 1080p30 project, added menus, and did a burn to disc NTSC DVD-VIDEO Widescreen on DVD-RW disc. The total duration of the Timeline was 5 minutes. And the burn dialog presented with
Space Required 375 MB and Bitrate of 8.00 Mbps.
I used Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit for the above test. That computer has 8 GB of RAM installed and has about 900 GB of free hard drive space. The computer used an internal LG Blu-ray DVD burner for the burn to.
I have never run into this "error internal software error: %0, line%1" in any version of Premiere Elements on Windows XP 32 bit or Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit in the past or tonight when I did this test.
Whatever you are encountering I cannot confirm the built in existence of a Premiere Elements 11 bug in this regard. This would suggest to me that you should consider looking outside of Premiere Elements software as the cause target. If you would like me to cross check those MPEG2 and .mp4 sources that were involved in this error "internal software error: %0, line%1", I would be glad to do that for you if you send sample via a Dropbox link posted in your thread.
But I suspect the answers are in the Windows Vista on which you are running Premiere Elements 11 or perhaps on some incompatibility or resource considerations between Windows Vista and Premiere Elements 11 (for that matter any version beyond your Premiere Elements 3.0/3.0.2). Unfortunately I do not have Windows Vista to incorporate into the testing. Do you have access to a Windows 7 or 8 computer?

Garbled audio when burning to idvd 08

I have idvd 7.0.1 and imovie 6.0.3. Everytime I burn my present project it burns seemingly without errors. But then when i put it in my mac it just spits it the dvd without playing it. I've then taken the dvd and put it in a dell laptop and the dvd video plays fine but the audio is garbled. Any suggestions on what might be wrong and how to fix the problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi
Three thoughts.
• free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? 25Gb or more ?
• How did You go from iMovie to iDVD ? via Share/Export to iDVD" within iMovie ?
I don't I close iMovie and open iDVD then either drop the movie icon (with a Star on it)
or import it into iDVD.
• Upgraded to QuickTime 7.5 - seems to give problems in many cases
Yours Bengt W
