Burning an iPhoto slideshow onto a DVD

How can I burn an iPhoto slideshow onto a DVD?  I have created a slideshow with music but cannot determine how to burn it to a DVD.  I've tried to use iDVD but cannot figure it out.  I need very basic instructions, please.
Thank you!

Depends on information you do not supply - but burn a slide show to DVD export it to the desktop as a QuickTime movie and the using the finder burn it to dial - it can be played on any device that can play QuickTime
To play on a DVD player it must be authored which requires iDVD or other authoring software like Toast - neither involves iPhoto - there is a iDVD forum and Toast has a support forum

  • How do i burn an iPhoto slideshow onto a DVD?

    how do I burn an iphoto slideshow onto a DVD? and a blueraycompatable DVD?

    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:
    Burn: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/21992/burn
    Toast: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/6351/toast-titanium
    But there are lots of others too. Search on the App Store or MacUpdate
    As for Bluray you'll need an app (and a burner) that can create that format.

  • 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.

  • Putting iphoto slideshow onto a DVD

    I saved my iphoto slideshow to Quick Time Player, but when I try to send it to imovie I get the message "imovie has not been setup". Is there another way to put a iphoto slideshow onto a DVD without having to do the whole thing over on imovie?

    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium, 640 x 480.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.

  • Burning an iphoto slideshow to a DVD question???

    I have created a 30 minute slideshow in iphoto with Ken Burns (550 pics), transitions, and music. What is the best way to burn this to a DVD? I like creating it in iphoto because it places random KB effects on each photo. Will it stay intact if I just share it to iDVD or is their a better method? Also, when I try to adjust the length of time a particular slide displays I am not able to change the number of seconds (the up/down arrow is not visible). Thanks for any suggestions.
    Rob

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Share -> Send to iDVD
    Some folks find that their timings can go off a little. If so, then you can
    a: Make the slideshow in iDVD, but you won't have the Ken Burns Effec
    b: Make the slideshow in an app that has much more control such as iMovie or PhotoToMovie

    I'm having the same problem. I got my photos on i web and I can see the slide show on the computer but I can't burn it to a DVD. Did you ever figure out how?

  • PLEASE HELP! When I try try burning my iPhoto slideshow to a DVD, it stops within the last few minutes and says it can't.

    It just stops last minute.

    You could try a different brand of DVD. You could post in the iPhoto forum where those experts are.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • About how long should it take to burn slideshow onto a DVD w/ duo core iMac

    I posted this under in the general forum and rec'd no responses. Perhaps I should have started here....
    Q. About how long should I expect it to take my iMac to convert, then Burn an iPhoto slideshow (comprised of 130 338kb pictures) onto a DVD? I've done this twice (from iPhote, going to Share, then clicking "DVD") and each time it has worked perfectly. However, it seems to take about an hour or more to complete. Is this normal/ expected?? Please understand that this is my first Mac and I've never had a PC w/ a DVD burner, so I'm not sure what to expect. ..I tried running a search for the question but came up empty.
    Thanks!

    I am also doing one right now and it is taking awhile.
    The images are very large though, 1 mb each.
    They look great, but the transfer from iPhoto to iDvd is taking forever.
    Is when your system lags?
    I am topped out with 2gigs of ram and 2.0 ghz intell chip.

  • I am trying to burn a slideshow onto a dvd that will play on a standard dvd player and tv, but everytime I copy it I cannot play the disc except on my Macbook

    I am trying to burn a slideshow onto a dvd that will play on a standard dvd and tv

    You can't just copy the slideshow to a DVD as, you've found out, that won't play on a TV. You need to use a program that will render it into DVD format, complete with the proper lead in and trailers. I use Toast to do that, however, there are other programs that can do that too.

  • 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.

    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.

    help!  i can't figure this out at all.

    You will need to obtain a copy of iDVD 7 by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com.  Why the iLife 09 disk?
    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.
