Burning an album slideshow to DVD??

My wife ordered a photo book in Iphoto last night and in that photo book, there is a slideshow button. She can't burn this new slideshow to a DVD. Is this possible?

Select the slideshow and go Share -> Send to iDVD. Only iDVD can make a DVD to play in your home DVD player.

How do you burn an iPhoto slideshow onto dvd?

I am trying to burn an iPhoto slideshow onto DVD - any tips? Thanks!

If you want to create a video DVD that will play on a set top DVD player to your TV read the following:
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality 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.
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.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

Burn a iPhoto slideshow to dvd

I can't figure out how to burn an iPhoto slideshow to a dvd. I created the slideshow and clicked on "export", the popup shows the different sizes, and a checked box that says "automatically to iTunes". From iTunes, I'm told to right click to burn the dvd. But I'm not seeing any options to burn cd

Export the slideshow from iPhoto, that makes a movie of it.
Do you want to use this DVD in a domestic DVD player? If so, then the disk will have to be 'authored' to make it the correct form for that. If you have iDVD then that's the app you use. However, iDVD is no longer developed or distributed by Apple. You may be able to get it on an old iLIfe install disk.
Other options:

But there are lots of others too. Search on the App Store or MacUpdate

I'm trying to burn a Iphoto slideshow to DVD but the "burn" in the menu isn't active?

I'm trying to burn a slideshow to a DVD but it isn't hightlighted in the menu? Any ideas. Also, is there a way to put captions under a photo that show up in the slide show?
Thanks,
Michael Quinn

To burn a Slideshow you DVD for viewing on a domestic DVD player you need to use an app that with author the disk to the correct format.
Macs used come with iDVD for this purpose - accessed by going Share -> iDVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have this then you need to get such an app, then export the slideshow from iPhoto. This will make a movie of it, then add it to your DVD project.

Burn an iPhoto Slideshow to DVD

What is the best, easiest way to burn an iPhoto slideshow (with music, Ken Burns effect, transitions) to a DVD? Apple discontinued iDVD and I can no longer use the Share menu in iPhoto and select "Send to iDVD".

When exporting the slideshow out of iPhoto to your hard drive set the Size to medium or large.
The open iDVD, select a theme and drag the slideshow into the iDVD menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones that may be present.
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality 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 and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.

If you have iDVD instralled on your iMac the above workflow will do the job. If you don't have iDVD and your iMac didn't come with Lion or Mt. Lion preinstalled the disks that came with the iMac can be used to reinstall iDVD and its themes.
If you iMac did come with Lion or Mt. Lion preinstalled you'll need to purcahse a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com.

Burn random photo slideshow to dvd

I created albums from photos and can view slideshow in shuffle mode. I would like to burn this slideshow (with shuffle) to dvd. How can I do this with iphoto and idvd?

Terence is right. You'll have to put them in some order manually and export to iDVD. It's the nature of the beast.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

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.

I finally was successful in burning a CD of a slideshow I created in iPhoto, however, it is blurry. What is the best way to burn to a CD or DVD for clarity. Also, I realize if burned in iPhoto it will only be playable in iPhoto. Help! This is needed soon!

What version of iPhoto are you using? How do you plan to view the slideshow at the wedding reception, on a TV screen? If so then you will need to send the slideshow to iDVD and burn a disk from there.
If you're in iPhoto 11 and the slideshow was created in the slideshow mode and not from an album, then go to the Share menu and select iDVD. That will create a QT movie of the slideshow and import it into iDVD.
In iDVD select your theme and setup the menu as you'd like. If you want the movie to begin plahying immediately when the disk is inserted into the DVD player go into the Gallery mode and drag the movie into the Autostart bin at the left.
Click to view full size
If you want the movie to loop continuously go to the Advanced menu and select Loop.
Click to view full size
When you're finished setting upb the iDVD project save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will allow you to check it with DVD Player before tryingto burn to disk. Mount the disk imnage by double clicking on it and launch DVD Player and play. If the movie plays as you want and everything is good you can burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Burning an Album to DVD

Can anybody please help? I have created an iPhoto album comprising 50 photos mostly taken on a 4.5 megapixel, 3:2 aspect ratio, setting with my Panasonic compact. I want to create a DVD to achieve the best possible picture quality, at maximum picture size, to show to friends and family on a widescreen TV. I particularly do not want a slideshow. I prefer to just index the photos at my own speed using the DVD controller. I have tried the "share" to DVD feature but the result is extremely poor. I have also tried using iDVD also without success (and its always a slideshow!). I have read and re-read the help topics in iDVD and have come to the conclusion that creating what I thought would be a very basic DVD format is more involved than I ever imagined. Surely it must be possible to
just save your photos to DVD for simple optimum viewing on TV?
I will be most grateful if somebody could post an idiot proof step by step guide to help me.
regards Malcolm Sheppard

First, recognize that the quality of photos seen with a DVD on a TV is not going to be as high as what you see on your computer.
You can do what you want via at least two methods--one using iDVD and one burning in Finder.
1)Create a slideshow in iDVD that you can operate manually.
Create a slideshow by opening iDVD and selecting a theme.
Then, go to iDVD's Help file and search for 'Creating Slideshow' and follow those directions. (I tried to Copy/Paste these, but could not get them to Copy).
When setting the Slide Duration, you can select 'Manual' to allow you to advance the photos manually with your DVD remote.
2) You can also do this by burning your photos to a DVD or CD disk from Finder. It will play on most new DVD players, the ones that play mp3s and CDs, and you will advance the photos manually.
To do this, export your iPhoto album to a folder on your desktop.
You should number the photos so that their order is maintained.
Then click once on the folder to highlight it and go to File->Burn "NameofFolder" Insert a blank disk and burn it.
You might want to try both methods and see which works the best for you.

Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

After creating a slideshow in iDVD and burning it to a blank DVD-R disk, can I later add another slideshow?

After creating a slideshow with my photos in iDVD and burning it to a bland DVD-R disk, can I used the unused space on the disk to add another slideshow at a later date?

Thanks!

Burning Slideshow to DVD

I would be grateful if someone could explain how to burn a slideshow to DVD so that it can be watched on TV. I have created a slideshow and exported it and it is in the iphoto slideshow folder as .M4v file.
I don't know how to get it from there to DVD. I have Toast Titanium 10.
All suggestions appreciated.

You can use the Share -> Send to iDVD command in iPhoto to send the slideshow to the iDVD app which will burn the DVD for you. For using Toast check the Toast Help.

Burning slideshows to DVD

Is it possible to burn saved slideshows to DVD that was created in Lr5

It depends on your target. Do you want a standard video DVD that plays in all DVD players? If so be aware that the quality will be very low 480p video whatever software you use. On any modern HDTV this looks fairly poor but it is the best you can do with standard video DVD. On Macs people would use iDVD or something like Toast. On PCs I have no clue but I am sure a quick google would show a lot of tools. With those softwares you usually simply drag the Lightroom output video file into the app and hit burn.
If your target is any recent BluRay player, you do NOT want to burn a DVD the above way. Just stick the DVD or burnable CD (usually big enough for this as your Lightroom output file is not often bigger than a few 100 Megs) in your drive and have the OS (if it is a Mac) mount it, drag the Lightroom output file on and hit burn. It probably works similarly on recent windows versions but I don't know the details. This disc should play in high def on almost any recent BluRay player. If you want something more fancy with menus and such you need a full BluRay authoring app. Most are super expensive but there are a few that are affordable such as Toast 11 Pro. Adobe makes a BluRay authoring product too called Encore which can be downloaded as part of creative cloud if you download premiere.
In all this make sure to export the slideshow at high enough resolution. For BluRay playing, you want 1080p. For standard video DVD you want something a little better than 480p, so 720p. The DVD authoring software will downscale it for you.

Burning Smart Albums to DVD

Hi
I've generated a few trial smart albums from my main library before making any serious use of them and the behaviour when burning one or more of them to a DVD seems very odd to me, in fact useless, and I wonder if someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
The scenario is this. I create a smart album containing say all the photos of one particular person, the photos are "pulled" from a large number of different events. I then highlight the generated smart folder which contains say 210 pictures that the individual appears in and use the Share->Burn command to burn the images to a DVD. What actually happens is that all the albums that the individual pictures have been pulled from are burned to the disc rather than just the photographs that contain this particuler person. So, instead of the 210 pictures I wanted, which ALL contain that individual, I end up with in this case a disc containing 94 events, a total of 5443 images which include the 210 images with this particular person in them, which isn't what I want at all!
I'm selecting the option to burn the disc in the format that can be read by iPhoto, ie. a library disc.
Thank you.
Q

When you did the burn did you select just the Smart Album icon in the left hand pane before using the Share ➙ Burn menu option? What version of iPhoto are you running?
I just ran a test in iPhoto 9.4.2 burning a smart album. What I got is shown in this screenshot:
The original SA had 232 photos in it. The SA in the disk "mini" library had the same 232 photos but also the 40 Events that those 232 photos came from.
Make sure you select just the Smart Album in the left hand pane before using the Share ➙ Burn menu.
