Burning multiple copies of slideshows

I made a great slideshow of wedding pictures but it takes forever to burn each disc because the program makes a new .wmv file each time. Is there a better way to do this? I tried saving the .wmv file but it didn't seem to make a difference. Each time I select 'burn a vcd' the process seems to start from the beginning.

If you use ULead Movie Factory 5, it will take around 4 to 5 minutes AFTER the first copy.
Place the wmv file in the add video section.
Select no menu's if you want.
The first build will take awhile.
After you burn the dvd,
choose to return to the finish page.
Add a blank disc, and click on burn again.
I had a slide show that took around 2 hours for
Photoshop to create wmv file (200 pictures with a lot of panning and zooming) about 15 seconds per slide.
The Movie Factory 5 took awhile also if I remember correctly
to redo the wmv to vob conversion.
BUT...the reburns were around 4 minutes 37 seconds.
I believe the free trial download gives you every thing.

Do I need to get a separate program to burn multiples copies of a DVD on Mac?

Do I need to get a separate program to burn multiples copies of a DVD on Mac, and not have the copies separate into AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS? I made a series of lesson plans on iMovie. When it opens on the original disk, it goes right to my music and intro menu. When I try to burn it to a new DVD, it shows up as AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. It does not open at all. Please advise.
Thanks,
Chris

Does the disk image that you created from the previously burned iDVD project look like this?
If so you don't copy any part of it to a blank DVD. You open Disk Utility and select it like I do in this screenshot:
insert a blank DVD and click on the Burn button.

Burning multiple copies of a project

Don't mean to ask a stupid question, but here goes.
After I build and format my first copy of a project, all subsequent copies get a message saying that a VIDEO_TS directory of this project already exists. Choosing Reuse will reuse as much of the current VIDEO_TS contents as possible.
Is this normal? By resuing am I getting a DVD with less data than the original?
I must not understand the process involved. Any help out there??
Thanks.

What is the difference in burning a TS folder in TOAST or saving in .img and using DiskUtility to burn many DVD ?
I have many copies to burn, what is the best workflow ? The TS folder in Toast ( I have vesrion 5.2.3) or format in .img and use DiskUtility to burn ?
When burning multiple copies it is preferred to burn from an disc image file, which you could do with either Toast 5.2.3 or Disk Utility. What's vital is that the image file is UDF format.
Burning a VIDEO_TS with Toast 5.2.3 is prone to error because you have to use the DVD format in the Other tab, click New Disc, add the VIDEO_TS, create an empty AUDIO_TS and then click the burn button. And don't open the VIDEO_TS folder in the Finder before burning because that adds some invisible directory files that could affect the ability of the DVD to be playable. (Toast 6 and 7 automatically remove those files if present).
By the way, Toast 6 and 7 added the ability to select the quantity of discs you want burned.

Burning multiple copies of a data CD?

I need to burn multiple copies of a data CD (50). Dragging to a burn folder each time is tedious... is there a way I can enter the number of CDs to burn and then mindlessly feed blank CDs into the (external) burner?

Well, not quite mindlessly ....
A bit easier process would be to use Disk Utility to create a DVD/CD Master image of the folder you want to burn to CD. Then use Disk Utility to repeatedly burn the CDs. But you will still have to initiate each burn; there's no batch function and of course you have to manually feed the blank CDs into your iMac.
In Disk Utility, do File > New > Disk Image from Folder. Select the folder you want to image, then select Image Format = DVD/CD Master. This will give you a .cdr file. Then, still in Disk Utility,, select the .cdr file from the list of disks and click the Burn button.

Burning multiple copies of a DVD

How do I burn multiple copies of a DVD in DVDSP without it formatting it every time?

Kevin Rieg wrote:

Unless I'm misunderstanding, you actually do want DVDSP to Format every time. In DVDSP jargon, Format is the writing of a Build to disc - either optical media or, as Jon mentions, to a hard drive image.
What you don't want it to do is Build (or Build/Format) every single time. Build your DVD once, then Format (aka Command-F) every single time after that.
(I recommend Build first - without Formating - because I like to open the folder I've built to in OS X's DVD Player and confirm that all my functionality is correct. Also, once in a blue moon, I'll have some type of Build issue, like a menu rendering incorrectly, that I'd prefer to spot before I commit to Formatting.)

Burning multiple copies

I am currently trying to use iDVD for short DVD production runs, however, I have been having some issues. First, I have found that after running a 25th copy, iDVD shuts down. Does it have a copy maximum?
Also, and here is the most frustrating problem, I am having about a 10-15% fallout rate on these copies. It does not appear to be a player compatibility problem, as it is that the burn is corrupted. Some chapters won't play, other times it just hiccups and skips a minute or two. Or, it flat-out won't even load. I actually had one that came back from a customer where only 3 chapters of 36 would play. Are these problems due to iDVD's limitations regarding larger copy outputs? Problems that would be solved by just moving to DVD Studio Pro? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Denis, I appreciate the suggestion. I do have the full Final Cut Studio, including DVD Studio Pro. However, as I am a new business, some of the projects I have been doing have been for very low pay, and I really liked the quick design feature of iDVD and being able to pop a product out within 10-15 minutes. I can't do that with Studio Pro...yet. Time has been a crunch. Business has picked up enough that I just can't do the shortcut anymore. Time to break down and get an industrial duplicator, learn how to use DVD Studio Pro, and do it all correctly. Of course, to be honest, just thinking about having to learn bit rate and audio compression adds a little bit of hesitation, but...it's got to be done. I've got the Apple Training book, so my wife and kids will be fatherless for the next couple of weeks. Thanks for the insight!

Duplicating multiple copies of DVD

I'm on a backpacker list, and for the last few years, people have compiled a DVD of highlights of the people hiking the PCT that year.
The program is public domain and copies are made without charge to the recipients.
I'm duplicating some of the DVDs as my contribution. Is there a way to have disk utility burn multiple copies without starting over each time and doing the whole verification and compiling before actually burning the disk?

Insert the original DVD, quit DVD Player if it starts, and run Disk Utility. Select the DVD drive in the left column (the drive, all the way to the left, not the volume indented below it). Select :New" from the "File" menu, and choose "Disk Image from disk...". Set "Image Format" to "DVD/CD master", choose a file location (such as "Desktop"), and click "Save". When it finishes, eject the DVD, select the disk image file in the left column, and click the "Burn" button (or use Command-B). If necessary, click the triangle at the right to see the burn options. You can use the disk image file to burn as many discs as you want.

Burn Multiple Copyright Protected DVDs

After I have created a copyright protected DVD (Formatted for CSS), how do I make/format multiple copies?
I have tried making DVDs where you are allowed mutliple copies from that DVD but subsequent copies cannot be made from the copies. However, I find that the copies I have made from the original CAN in fact be easily copied using Toast.
I tried copyright protection by Formatting for CSS and that seems to be more difficult for others to duplicate. The problem is that I have not been able to figure out how to format/burn multiple copies straight from DVD Pro. I have been doing it just one at a time.
I would like to burn/format multiple copies of a copyright protected/no copies allowed DVD I have created. I have a Primera Bravo II Disc Publisher
Message was edited by: Alex Cena

Thanks Gary. That helps me on the Primera issue though I can just as easily burn the project onto a DVD burner on my computer then tell Primera's program to copy that x number of times. Your method may be quicker though so I will give it a try.
In terms of copyright protection, I read what you wrote but I need to follow up with a question. First, when I check "No Copies Allowed" on DVD Pro, my users have not been able to make copies of that DVD. At least not easily with what the average person has on their computer. I want to make multiple copies of that kind of DVD w/o having to do it one at a time. Is there an easy way to accomplish that for runs of about 20 copies? I do runs of 10-20 copies several times a week so I am looking for a way to reduce my workflow.

Multiple copies of same photo on same page seems to assume A4?

I'm trying hard to work out how to print out multiple copies of the same picture. I want to get 2 copies on each 4x6" sheet of photo paper and have followed all the steps...
Selected 1 picture, hit print, went to Settings, selected "Multiple of the same photo per page".
I then went to Print Settings, selected Borderless 4x6 (yes, the printer works fine with that usually - HP Photosmart C4280) and set the Print Size to 2x3 and the preview shows the 2 copies of the same photo side-by-side no problem.
So I hit OK, clicked on Print and...
It's not aligning with the left hand side of the 4x6 - it's not respecting the selected paper size. If I put in a sheet of A4 to test, the 2 pictures come out in the centre of the page (in the requested size). So as a result I can't print on the 4x6 paper as most of the picture gets printed on nothing!
Am I doing something wrong or is this some kind of bug in either iPhoto or the HP printer driver? Anyone had any success with this? If so, what kind of printer were you using?

Jemster:
Here's the workflow I used to get 2 2x3s on a 4x6:
1 - select photo & click on print button
2 - select 4x6 borderless and 2x3 print size
3 - click Customize button
4 - click on settings button
5 - select "Multiple of same photo per page" (after clicking OK two photo are shown on the preview)
6 - click on the Print button.
Where I differ is that I don't go back to Print Settings to select the 4x6 paper size after Step 5. Give that a try.
NOTE: Do a Print to PDF to check it out instead of printing on paper. That will save some paper in case it doesn't work.
That gives me two photos on the 4x6. I'm using a Canon i850. I also get the same results with an Epson R280.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Can't burn multiple projects to DVD

I imported photos into iPhoto, then separated the photos into three different albums, each with a different name. I then worked on each individual album of photos in iDVD, creating slideshows, giving each slideshow a different Theme and audio (songs) from iTunes. Everything is working fine so far.
I then burned the first slideshow onto a DVD. When I attempted to burn the second slideshow onto the same DVD, it would not work.
I then saved each slideshow as a disk image and attempted to burn them with the disk utility. Again, I can burn the first slideshow but not the second and third to the same DVD.
I then attempted to drag the three .img files onto the icon of the DVD and it seemed to be working, however, I eventually got an error message. At this point I opened the .img files and dragged the Audio_TS and Video_TS files (from all three projects) onto the DVD icon. It appeared to burn to the DVD, but when I placed the DVD into my DVD player, only the first project burned.
I am gathering from other posts on this site that it is possible to burn multiple slideshows with audio onto a DVD but I certainly haven't figured out how to do it.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and how I can burn multiple slideshows with audio, originating from iDVD, onto one DVD. Any help would be most appreciated.
Power Mac G-4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Excellent progress -- you wondered about multiple themes, and although I haven't done that recently, you are be able to create a submenu with the Folder icon; once you're on the submenu, just set a new theme and it should just change the menu you're working on.
from iPhoto via QuickTime to iDVD, this process does not allow adding captions to the photos in iDVd...is my assumption correct.
-- Correct, you'll have to add captions in iPhoto (has a basic titling feature), in Quicktime Pro, or use the extensive text features in software like Photoshop/Elements (add it to a copy of the photo and then reimport to iPhoto). It's a bit of work, but you can create a nice effect of the title fading out with this latter option (if you want your slide to have a five sec duration, use the titled photo for 3 sec then the original slide for 2 seconds -- then use the cross-dissolve transition).
Deleting iPhoto pictures will not affect the QT movie if you've made it self-contained (typical setting), and iDVD will be unaffected as well.
I'm not aware of any restriction on iPhoto transitions that would require a new video card -- the rendering will take longer on slower processors -- what are your symptoms (perhaps post it separately for others to weigh in?)?.

Another question about multiple copies

I've seen several others posting questions lately about making multiple copies, but my question is just slightly different. I'll be making an iDVD project for our 5th Grade Recognition at school. Obviously, I'll be making it on my Mac at home. However, once it's finished and I have my final DVD, I'm going to need to make over 50 copies.
Last year, when I did the presentation as a Powerpoint show, it was easy enough to use multiple (Windows) computers at school to duplicate. There are 4 computers that I used to just rotate CD's in and out of to make copies.
Will I be able to use a Windows machine to make copies of an iDVD disk? I know that the computers can burn DVD's, so that's not an issue. I can't remember exactly which programs the computer have. I believe that one is Sonic something. The one that I used for CD's was IRecordNow (or something like that).
Is there any "protection" placed on the iDVD disk that will prevent me from placing the iDVD into the drive and choosing "copy" in whatever program that I use?

Is there any "protection" placed on the iDVD disk that will prevent me from placing the iDVD into the drive and choosing "copy" in whatever program that I use?
No. Only DVDs made in a production house have copy protection applied.

Help! iMovie isn't importing still photos properly. I get multiple copies of the same photo!

Hello all. iMovie is acting very ornery, and I need help -- or I'll never get my 2011 slideshow completed in time!
I am trying to import several still photos into my movie project. In the past, I have simply dragged and dropped the appropriate photos from the iMovie photo browser into my project. Everything works — the way it should be with Apple products.
Suddenly, iMovie doesn't want to play nice. No matter what photos I drag into the timeline, iMovie inserts multiple copies of one of the video clips that's already in my movie. The photos don't show up. If I play the movie, I get a blank screen where the photo/video should be.
Is anyone else experiencing this probem? Is there an easy way to fix it?
The following picture and text should help explain what I'm doing:
Here are the steps I'm taking:
1. I select one or several photos from the iMovie photo viewer (on the bottom right-hand side of the window.) -- In this case, I've selected 10 very different photos.
2. I drag the photos into the project.
3. iMovie appears to import the photos.
4. I see 10 identical thumbnails in my project. They appear to be the same as the very last video clip in the project. However, when I scrub these thumbnails, or play the movie, I see a black screen.
I've tried dragging the photos directly from iPhoto, or from the desktop, and still the same thing happens.
HELP!
Dave

Thanks wesehrt. I had one jpeg such as "ALL_CAPS.jpeg" --- straight from my iPhone, imported/tweaked in Aperture no less ... and renamed it without the underscore and it worked.
But I wasn't getting multiple copies or black screens. The image would import and I'd see the thumbnail in the project timeline, but what actually rendered was the last frame of the preceding video clip.
Bizarre bugs with photos importation here.

Receiving multiple copies of text messages

i have an iPhone 6 plus and have been receiving multiple copies of the same text message (up to 4x) from various contacts across various carriers. This has been an issue throughout having an iPhone 5s and 6 plus, and only occurs with regular messages, not iMessage. It also does not occur for automated text messages sent to me (e.g. Redbox). While I have unlimited messages it is frustrating because they are sent to me multiple times, and not necessarily in the same order each time. It is also inconsistent. I might get a single copy of one text and four of another. I have reset the phone, changed phones, and every other thing possible. This seems to be an issue not on my end. Assistance would be much appreciate. Thanks.

Hp deskjet 1510 multiple copies

My HP Deskjet 1510 keeps making multiple copies of itself in my devices on windows 7. I've tried deleting the copies but they keep coming back can anyone help please for some reason its stopped letting me print.

Hi kieranraikes,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that your HP Deskjet 1510 is making multiple copies. I am happy to help you! I would recommend the following:
Run the HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know what happens.
Powercycle the printer. (With the printer turned on, unplug the power cable from the back of the printer, and the wall outlet. Then wait 30 seconds, then plug the cable back in, wall outlet first. The printer will turn on automatically).
Hope this information helps you, and have a great day!
