Burning albums to a DVD

In order to burn one album (and all the data etc.) to a Mac readable DVD, do I select the desired album from the application on the Hard Drive, or the one in Users->Pictures->iPhoto library?? Thanks very much.
Albums do not exist on disk -they are logical entities which exist only in the iPHoto database entries
They can only be accessed via the iPhoto application
Albums are logical things - *to burn a mini iPhoto library of that album select the album in the source pane on the left , select all the photos and click the burn icon* - *to burn just the current version of the photos export them (file menu ==> export) selecting the options to include the data you want and export to a desktop folder and burn that folder using the finder*
I believe that my answer did clearly answer your question - if you feel differently please explain what you do not understand about the answer

How to burn albums in iPhoto with external DVD drive?

I have the new iMac which doesn't contain a DVD drive... so I bought an external DVD drive and I am trying to burn albums from iPhoto but in the "share" option, the "burn to disc" option doesn't come up. It's as if iPhoto doesn't recognize a DVD drive available, but it is. Anyone know a fix to this? Thank you!

open the album and select all - export to a desktop folder (see the user tip on exporting for the various options available) and then in the finder right click on that folder and burn to disk

Burn slideshow made in Album setting to DVD

I created a very nice slide show using iphoto 9, added a song and used the scrapbook theme, however upon trying to burn it to a DVD I realized that I mistakenly created it while in an ALBUM and not a designated"slide show" folder. I created a new slide show folder and copied the pics to it, but the order is all out of sorts, the template is totally different, and not as nice as the original one made in the album setting.
I was able to export the album to the desktop and create a Quick Time file and a itunes file (?) but with regard to burning it to a DVD using iDVD is causing issues. Can a Quick Time folder be burned to a DVD?
Is there a way to export a album slide show with the scrapbook theme to a slide show folder while keeping the template the same. I have tried putting the pics into the slide show scrapbook template but the template is not as nice

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
the template is totally different
I'm a little confused by this comment. The theme choices available in the Album Slideshow and an iPhoto Slideshow are the same: Classic, Ken Burns, Scrapbook, Shatter, Sliding Panels, Snapshots
You should be able to choose the same theme you had in your Album slideshow in your iPhoto slideshow.
In regards to the order of your images that too can be retained.
If the images are arranged the way you want in your Album do the following:
__Click on the Album
__Click once on one of the images in the Album to highlight it
__Go to Edit > Selected All
__Click on the plus sign at the bottom left corner of iPhoto
__Click "Slideshow" at the top of the screen
__Check the box for "Use selected items in new slideshow"
__Click create
You should now have an iPhoto Slideshow with the pictures in the exact same order that they were in within the Album.
You can then click on theme and choose whatever theme you were using in the Album slideshow.
When you are ready to burn go to Share > Send to iDVD.
Hope that helps.

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

Burning album to dvd

Basic question, but elements 9 appears to allow every kind of sharing, but burning an album to a dvd. What am I missing?
Dougal

There are two ways -
1. Export your album with template onto the CD/DVD
Right click on Album and go to Burn CD/DVD
2. Burning all Album files to CD/DVD ...
For this check out http://photoshopelementsbyadobe.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-can-we-burn-photographs-and-other .html .... Make sure you select files from Album only.

In photoshop 10 when I export an album to a dvd I can't open it on my computer with windows 7 what do I do

IN photoshop 10 when I export an album to a dvd, I can't op@en it on my computer with windows 7. Help

The ! means that iPhoto cannot find the master or original file.
Assuming that these same photos behave correctly in the main library then it suggests the burn has gone wrong somewhere.
As a matter of interest... why are you burning libraries to DVD? If it's a form of back up then it's a dead end. Your next version of iPhoto won't be able termed or work with them, and your next Mac won't have an optical drive.

The burn to the PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06A drive failed. Verifying the burned

I am trying to burn an album from iPhoto '09 and I receive the following error message:
The burn to the PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06A drive failed. Verifying the burned data failed.
I have attempted 3 different times using the same media that worked prior to my upgrade to Snow Leopard. Prior to the upgrade I didn't have any problems.
Any help would be appreciated.

Same for me here...no luck with TDK DL DVD +R. Seems that this drive is extremely picky with DL supports (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1181990).

Importing iPhoto albums from a dvd?

To free up space on my hard drive I burned my iPhoto Library to a dvd. But I still want to be able to access the photos on the dvd in the future. As a test I tried to import an album from the dvd and I get this message (couldn't create: users/xxx/Pictures/iPhoto Library/xxx/xxx/xx/xxx.jpg) for each picture in the album and then this (Unreadable Files 3: The following files could not be imported [they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data.]) I sort of understand this since the album folders only contain aliases of the actual jpgs.
My question, then, is how does one import albums from burned media back into iPhoto? Mind you, I'm still using iPhoto 2, so perhaps this is an easier task in more recent versions? Thanks in advance for any help.

How did you burn the library to the DVD disc. If it was by dragging the entire iPhoto Library folder to the disc and burning via the Finder you won't be able to open it from within iPhoto. To be able to do that you must have selected the items to be burned and then use the Burn button in the lower right hand corner. That's the only way you'll be able to see the items in iPhoto.
To correct that you could copy that iPhoto Library folder to your desktop and open it with iPhoto (launch with the Option key depressed and select the desktop library folder). Now you can select that entire library and burn it again using the Burn button. That disc will be readable by iPhoto when it's inserted into the drive with iPhoto running.

Unable to Burn (Backup) Library to DVD

Hello,
Recently I have been receiving the following message when I attempt to backup my library using iPhoto," The burn to the PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K04L drive failed. The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry."
I have performed this operation in the past. I recently even tried formatting my drive and reinstalling all software.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks,
Chris

i thought id provide you with results of my effots this may or may not help you.
firstly what i have noticed is that when you select to burn the dvd, ie share > burn > you will then get the burn disc options, if the speed is set to 1x and is greyed out, then this will fail.
i was attempting to burn a whole dvd, with under 100mb free on the final dvd. my work around was to choose a small folder / album you wish to burn, folow the above step, ensuring the speed of the dvd burner is not greyed out, do not burn at this stage, cancel the burn, select some more folders, go back to the option, just making sure it is not greyed out, continue this until you have selected all the album you want to backup and the option is still selectable. i did this in three steps selecting 1.5gig each step. it has worked for me, on this occassion, but i now have another 2 problems, not related to this issue, i hope.
ill keep you posted with developments, although i dont expect many on this issue now, due to the other issues.

How do you burn pictures onto a dvd?

Hello. I need some help. I been working on trying to burn pictures onto a dvd but still have the pictures in order from at least oldest to newest. I know how to burn pictures I just don't know how to keep them in order still. I have over 7000 pictures on iphoto (i kept dreading saving them lol) and I need to get them to a dvd. I was thinking on making different albums then saving them that way but that's such a hassle. I would rather have just the pictures. Any advice would really much be appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple user to user discussion forums
Files is Files
THe order they are displayed in is determined by the sort order specified in the file viewer you are using and is totally independent of how they are recorded on the DVD
For example if you are using the finder you can go to the view menu ==> show options and select from a number of sort options (they depend on the view you have) which included date created and date modified -- note that a file viewer is only looking at file dates - it has no knowledge of photo dates which are recorded in the EXIF data within the photo

I just finished creating a movie in IMovie and now want to burn it to a DVD and make it loop. Since I just purchased this IMac it no longer comes with IDVD. My question is how to burn and loop a dvd without IDVD. Thanks for any help.

I just finished creating a movie using IMovie and want to burn it to a DVD and loop it. Since I just purchased this mac it looks like they no longer include IDVD. Is there something out there to help me do this. I am new to MAC and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

There is free open source software called Burn that will burn DVDs. Here is a link.
If you wish to pay for software, there are many, including TOAST TITANIUM from Roxio. Apple's retail copy of iLife 11, and Apple's Compressor.
Of these, I would say that iDVD is known for being able to create very professional looking DVDs with intros, menus, lots of interesting templates.
Toast is much simpler and the menus and templates are more plain.
Compressor is a professional tool that does a lot more than make DVDs. Don't expect much in the way of menus or templates.
Burn, I have never tried, since I have iDVD and Toast for those ocasions when I need to burn a DVD. However, since it is free, I think it is worth a try.
Each software package is a little different, but in general, in iMovie, you can use the SHARE menu to SHARE/MOVIE in Large size. Save the movie to your desktop or someplace you can easily find it. Then drag it into the tool of your choice. You can alsouse SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER/LARGE if you have iDVD or Toast.

How do you use disk utility to burn a bootable .iso dvd?

Anybody have a clue on how you use disk utility to burn a .iso bootable dvd disk?
I'm trying to install windows 7 rc into virtual box in OS X 10.5.7 and cannot figure out how to do this. I've already installed the windows 7 beta in virtual box and was able to make a bootable dvd disk with the .iso file on it but have no clue how I did this.
I've been searching the web but most tips are for older version of OS X.
Thanks to anybody who answers.

It's so easy, You can just burn an .iso file using DVD Creator Std instead of Disk Utility, only 3 steps to finish bur ning your .iso files:
