Burning more than one movie

If I burn a 10-minute movie to DVD-R or DVD+R can I later burn another 10 minute move to the same DVD on the leftover space?

No. iDVD "closes" every "session."
Use Verbatim DVD-R for player compatibility.

Burning more than one movie on a DVD

I have put together 3 iMovies. I can export them to iDVD and burn them one at a time but I would like to be able to combine all three movies and burn them on one DVD. I haven't found any information to help me with this so can anyone help? Or is this impossible to do.
Thanks

IMac Mac OS X (10.4.7) I'm fairly new at doing this so I will appreciate all the help I can get!

Hi Sharon,
Which version of iMovie are you using? If you are using iMovie version 4, then you get this file structure in your project...
MyProject (Main project folder)
. MyProject.iMovieProj (the project file)
. MyProject.mov (a Quicktime reference movie)
. Media (a folder that holds all your media)
In addition you might also have an "Audio Waveforms" folder for some projects.
When you export to iDVD using the "Create iDVD Project" button in iMovie, you then get a new folder added to your project called "Shared Movies" and in that you get an iDVD folder and in that you get another .mov reference movie. Here is an example from one of my projects...
Thanks to ImageShack for Free Image Hosting... http://imageshack.us/
So the one marked 1. is the project reference movie that will be updated if you make any changes to your iMovie. The one marked 2. is the "snapshot" of your project at the time you used the iDVD button. If you create an iDVD project and don't touch the iMovie project again, these two files will be identical. But if you go in and change something in the project, you have to use the iDVD button to update this file (which also launched iDVD again and starts a new project, which you can simply close out of without saving).
Ok to get to your specific question. In iDVD you can dra and drop any reference (.mov) right into your project. Just be sure you drop it into the project NOT on one of the drop zones, but instead into any free spot on the screen. The movie will now be added to the project. If you want a second or third movie added to the project, then navigage to your next project and grab and drop the reference .mov file onto iDVD and it will be added.
I mention the folder structure above because you can grab either one depending on which one is more up to date or you want to use. The nice thing about the "Shared Movie" folder created in iMovie4 is you can exploit this to create alternate version of a project because when you use that button a "snap shot" is taken of your project at that time and a separate reference movie (#2 on the screen shot above) is created. Just remember, if you want to create another "snap shot" and keep the other, then rename #2 to something else so it doesn't get overwritten.
Hope that helps,
Patrick

Burning more than one movie to DVD

This'll sound dumb but I would like to know if (and how) I can burn multiple .dv movies using iDVD5. As far as I can tell, iDVD5 only handles one movie at a time. In iMovie5, I created a number of movies and shared/saved them at maximum quality (.dv). They play fine in QT. Now, I want to burn them all onto a DVD. Is this possible?

Hello Smiley,
you should create a new topic for your question. That way it will receive more attention and other users may benefit from possible solutions as well.
.... but as you are here already:
Do you have chapters in your movie?
If so check that you have set them according to "The Rules of Chapter Markers":
- No chapter markers on or within 2 seconds of a transition.
- No chapter markers within 2 seconds of the beginning or the end of the movie.
Also:
1. free some space on the startup drive (15-20GB recommended)
2. Trash preferences (com.apple.iDVD.plist) and empty trash
3. Repair Disk Permissions using Disk Utility
Now create a new iDVD project and import your iMovie. Do not use the "Share to iDVD" option in iMovie, but save and quit iMovie then open iDVD and drag in your movie from the media pane or choose File > Import > Video.
. iDVD is NOT a disc burning app, so leave that work to software designed for it. Instead use iDVD's "Save as Disc Image" option (File > Save as Disk image). This creates an .img file on your HDD, that can be stored for future use and gives you the option to preview your DVD on your Mac before burning to disc.
Use Disc Utility or Toast to burn your DVD at slow speed. 4x is acceptable, 2x (... or even 1x) is better.
Use high quality DVD-R (not DVD+R) media (e.g. Verbatim) to minimize burn errors and compatibility issues. Make sure the DVD is compatible with slow burn speed (e.g. 1x-4x)
hope this helps

What is the easiest way to burn imovies onto DVD's. I want to burn more than one movie onto DVD as I create. Can I continue to burn onto the same DVD as the movies are created?

Sharing More than One Movie with iDVD????

Okay.. I would like to know if there is another way to burn MORE than one movie an iDVD project. It seems that sending the movie straight to iDVD creates it's own project, and when you try to send another movie, it creates a completely different project. I know I can send a movie to Media browser but the quality of the movie is much better when I share it via the command in iMovie 09 (Shrare->iDVD). I've noticed that the file type is different when you send it to iDVD than when you put it in Media Browser as well.
Currently this is what I do.. Share it to iDVD.. Then I save that iDVD project to my desktop. I close iDVD, and start sharing my second movie. I then Control-Click on the first iDVD project and choose "Show Package Contents". I then dig into the trenches of that file to find the movie file. I then drag it to the desktop and delete the first iDVD project. When the new iDVD project gets made, I simply drag the file on my desktop into the iDVD project I want it in and then it works. This seems like a so un-apple way to do this though. I think iMovie definetly needs and update here. It's great if you ony want to burn a 1 movie to iDVD, but what if you want to do more. There should be a way to select multiple movies to send to iDVD or the option of adding a new imported movie to the current project in iDVD.
Am I missing something or is there another way to do this? Is there a good export option in QuickTime? DV doesn't work because the quality I get is horrible. Somehow the shared to iDVD movie is the best quality and it's a QuickTime file via h.264. Is that my best export option? Sharing with the Media browser creates a mv4 file that's much smaller in size, even at the largest setting. The frames are more jumpier when iDVD finishes with it than the h.264 file.
Any better suggestions? Also, where do I go to make suggestions for Apple. I can't find it anymore on this website.

Q:Also, where do I go to make suggestions for Apple.
A: Launch iDvd and then scroll down to Provide iDvd Feeback.

How can I burn more than 1 movie to a DVD when there is room on the disc for it. Premiere wants to overwrite once 1 movie is burned to the disc

How can I burn more than 1 movie onto a DVD? Once 1 movie is burned successfully to the disc, I try to burn another movie and Premiere wants to overwrite the first movie. One movie is 1.2 GB, second is 2.3; so there is room on a 4.7 GB DVD-RW.

What you report is what it is.
Each burn to of Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO format on DVD disc results in the disc containing one OpenDVD Folder and one VIDEO_TS Folder.
Only one VIDEO_TS Folder can be put on a DVD-VIDEO disc even when Premiere Elements is not involved. I have seen that written about online, and I have
never found a way to overcome what seems to be basic behavior description of DVD-VIDEO..
Premiere Elements will allow you to write to a disc with content already on it, but only after you give the OK for erasing the disc content before going ahead
with the burn to.
If you have several movies, one possibility is to build a Timeline with the movies, use stop markers, and setup disc menus according so that the viewer
can selectively watch the movies. More on that later if wanted.
Any questions or need clarification, please ask.
Thank you.

Can I export (burn) more than one slide show to the same DVD

Can I export (burn) more than one slide show I created in iPhoto to the same DVD, and if yes, how?

Yes. If you're using iDVD export the slideshow out of iPhoto at 480p size and drag it into an open iDVD menu window, being careful to avoid any drop zones. iDVD can handle up to 120 minutes of playing time (movies plus menus) on a single layer DVD disk.
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.
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.

Encore can't burn more than one DVD at a time: Sense Code 56400

For a long time now I've been unable to burn multiple DVD's at a time. I burn more than one and I get an error and have to make a coaster out of yet another DVD
I just upgraded to 24 gb of DDR3 PC 1600 RAM, I have an 6 Core Processor, I have 7.8 on everything accept my hard drive which is 7.0 out of 7.9 according to my Windows 7 Pro. 64 bit system.
I have 2 different DVD burners, one is a blu-ray burner too. I have the same issues, only different error readings it seems, on both drives. The first drive didn't burn even one for some reason so I tried the second. The second drive would burned 3 and on the fourth I got the errors' which I've included screen shots of below. I was surprised I got through three before I got to this error. By the end of the week I have a large project I need to make 30 DVD's of. HELP!!!!!
A long time ago on my older machine I had similar problems and I went through different drives and discs until I seemed to come up with the magic combination which seemed to be a Plextor burner and Verbatim. But, then i got a bad batch of verbatim and tried Maxell and used those successfully for a while. Right now I'm using what a friend gave me, TDK's. I'm wondering if that's what the problem is... HELP!!!!

I have managed to get it to work consistently now. I just burned 20 DVD's without a problem.
I tried everything you suggested except the imageburn software. I didn't like that site, I was too anxious to try and figure out where to download that software in the midst of all the advertisements on that site.
After clearing out everything in startup and services except what I needed I still wasn't able to burn successfully. Finally I went and purchased some Verbatim DVD-R discs and wahlah! Actually, after the first try with the verbatim I had an error code when trying to burn with Encore. So, I created and image file as you suggested and then I used Cyberlink's Power2Go to burn the image file and from there on it seems everything is solid.
I think the biggest problem was using TDK discs. I came to the realization a few years ago that certain disks are not as predictable as others and that verbatim and maxell seem to be the best. I did get one bad batch of verbatim though one time and that's when I switched to Maxell. My friend gave me 200 of the TDK's and I've been having problems ever since. But, I wasn't sure what it was exactly because he gave me those around the same time I rebuilt my system.
I had also found the Plextor seems to be the best bet for burners. But, I had been using an HP one lately and thought maybe that was the problem. However, now it seems to be fine.
I really don't know what fixed it. I mean, nothing definitely worked until I started using the Verbatim today. But, that first verbatim erroring perplexed me. I had done some other things too, like removed some programs, like a bunch of HP printer crap. I even removed my virus software, Window Security Essentials. I just reinstalled it so now I'm wondering if I can burn as consistently. I had seen somewhere where someone said they removed Windows' Defender to get theirs working.
Anyways, I guess what I need to do is format my main hard drive, only put adobe stuff on it, and then take my old computer set it up for everything else. That'll probably be the best thing to do... If I have anymore problems like this I'm doing that right away!

Can I add more than one movie to the movie page

I'd like to put up a gallery of movies but don't know how to do that. How can I add more than one movie to the movie template page?
Thanks,
Gina

I use the YouTube widget. It has the advantage of not loading clips until one actually selects the clip. When I started I just dragged the quicktime files to the page...not a good idea as it forced a viewer to wait for all of them to load.
Miro has some options.

How to burn more than one file on the same dvd?

I would like to burn more than one file in to the same dvd. It seems to me that using Finder I can burn only a file. There is some alternative command? Thank's

Select all the item to burn... right click...
Or
Place all items into a folder and burn the folder to the disc.
Or
Make a Burn Folder in the Finder (place items into the folder) and burn from there to a disc.

Using colorTrans:ColorTransform on more than one movie clip

Hi I am very new to Flash and action script so please bare with me...
I would like to be able to change the color of more than one movie clip in the same layer in the same frame. Basically I have place two different movie clips with defined instances,i.e. body and shoulder onto the canvas in one frame on the timeline.
I have created three different buttons (red_btn, blue_btn, and yellow_btn) to use to change the color of say the body or shoulder. I would use red and blue to change the body and say yellow and green to change the shoulders. These are also on the same layer and same frame on the timeline as the movie clips.
The problem I am having is how would I declare the two movies or variables to change independantly? Would I need to place one movie clip on one layer and then place the other on a different layer so that when I press the button I want i.e. the red button, it only changes the body and not the shoulders.
Here is my actionscript that I am using to change the color of the clip(s)
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
import flash.geom.Transform;
var colorTrans:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
var trans:Transform = new Transform(body);
trans.colorTransform = colorTrans;
blue_btn.onRelease = function() {
    colorTrans.rgb = 0x0000FF; // blue
    trans.colorTransform = colorTrans;
red_btn.onRelease = function() {
    colorTrans.rgb = 0xFF0000; // blue
    trans.colorTransform = colorTrans;
yellow_btn.onRelease = function () {
colorTrans.rgb = 0xFFFF00; //yellow
trans.colorTransform = colorTrans;
body here is my declared variable wich is the body of a shirt that is one movie clip. When you place both clips on the timeline ontop of each other, you basically get a shirt with different color shoulders and body.
I need some help to know if this is possible first of all, and then what would be the best way to delcare the variables in one actionsript.
Thanks and I am sorry, I just never learned much when it came to flash. Thanks for any patience and help anyone is willing to give me.

every movieclip has a transform.colorTransform property that you can use to assign a color transform (with any rgb property). so, for example:
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
import flash.geom.Transform;
var colorTrans:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
bluebody_btn.onRelease = function() {
    colorTrans.rgb = 0x0000FF; // blue
yourbodymovieclip.tranform.colorTransform=colorTrans;
blueshoulders_btn.onRelease = function() {
    colorTrans.rgb = 0xFF0000; // blue
yourshouldersmovieclip.transform.colorTransform = colorTrans;
yellowbody_btn.onRelease = function () {
colorTrans.rgb = 0xFFFF00; //yellow
yourbodymovieclip= colorTrans;
etc

Why cant i have more than one movie at a time

why cant i have more than one movie at one time

It may be how much space is available on your iPad. The average movie is around 2.5 gigabytes. If you reach your space limit then you can't download anything until you clear space.

HT1657 Can you rent more than one movie at the same time?

Can you rent more than one movie at the same time on itunes?

I think Justin is correct and you should have statistics in place and a reasonable partition scheme so that the optimizer selects the correct partitions rather than telling it what to do. You paid a lot for partitioning after all.
There are some, possibly misguided, examples in the manuals showing how to create a view so you can delete from a single partition without specifying the partition criteria in the delete statement. This in effect turns partitioning back into DIY partitioning i.e. separate tables, union all and pretend its a single logical table using a view. But backwards.
So to do what you want you just assume the partitions are separate tables, and then use union all to glue the ones you want back together.
select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2000)
union all
select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2001)
union all
select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2003)
union all
select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2004);It probably goes without saying that as well as making the expensive version of partitioning behave like the free alternative, there is the possibility that it will perform like it as well.

Projector that plays more than one movie

How can I make one projector play more than one movie? If the movies are protected, can the projector still play them? How can I link them? Thanks for your help.

Hi Norman,
I’ll elaborate on Sean’s reply.
As Sean mentioned you can use:
_movie.go("markerName", "MovieName")
To jump to the marker named ‘Markername’ in a movie called ‘MovieName’.
I tend to still use the verbose syntax
go to "markerName" of movie "MovieName"
If you had:
go to movie "MovieName"
you’d jump to the start of the movie (frame 1)
you could use:
go to movie "MovieName.dir"
but the '.dir' is not needed and if you create a protected DXR or DCR, the statement (without the movie extension) would work.
Now, if you want to avoid writing a unique behavior for every link you’re creating, I’ve got a tutorial that describes how to do it at:
http://www.deansdirectortutorials.com/Lingo/paramDialog.htm
The above uses property variables and a parameter dialog box. It does require some understanding of programming (not too much though).
If you have D11.5, in the Library Palette, in the ‘Controls’, category, there is a ‘Jump to Movie Button’ behavior. This behavior can be dragged and dropped onto a sprite and then you can type in the marker name and movie name in a parameter dialog box to set the link for the sprite. I say D11.5 because while earlier versions of Director have this behavior, there is a small error (easily fixed) that makes the marker jumping part non-functional. Anyway, my behavior in my tut site does the same thing.

SOLUTION: Chapters of more than one movie usable on a single DVD

If you want to put more than one movie with chapters made in iMovie onto a single DVD using iDVD--and have the chapters of all movies usable--do this: in iDVD, simultaneously drag the icons for all the movies you want to use into the background of the iDVD project. (Use command-click to select multiple movie icons, which are displayed on the right when "Media" and then "Movies" are selected.)
