Burning photos compatible with DVD player

I want to create a DVD (or CD) with titled photos, i.e. an album. How do I export photos to a disc that can be read on a standard DVD player so they can been shown on a TV set? My IPhoto instructions sas the burning feature in iPhoto isn't compatible with Windows, which may be why such a disc won't work on my DVD player. I've tried moving an entire album as pdf but the titles with the photos disappear. Also, does DVD vs. CD make any difference? Thanks for any help!

James,
In order to have a true manual slideshow in iDVD, you can't select any music to be played with the slides. If you have assigned music to the slideshow, drag it out of the box beside the Slideshow Volume until it goes "poof." Then when you click on the Slide Duration menu (lower left) the "Manual" option will be active, and you can select it. Also click the Settings gear and select the option to "Display navigation arrows." When you Play the slideshow in iDVD, you have to use the little remote control (right arrow) to advance the slides; clicking the onscreen navigation arrow won't do it.
If you wanted music, you can have the navigation arrows displayed and set the duration to 10 seconds (the longest choice). Or set a long playlist as the music and set duration to "Fit to Audio". However, this is problematic, because when the viewer advances the slide the music skips forward to match. It might be okay if the viewer only advanced one or two, but for a true manual show the interrupted music would be a major distraction.
Regards.

  • What external dvd burner is compatible with my 2007 mac mini running OS X 10.5.8?

    What external dvd burner is compatible with my 2007 mac mini running OS X 10.5.8?

    I have an LG GE24LU20 and works great with either my iMac or Mac Mini.
    LG GE24LU20 Optical Drives - 24x External Super-Multi DVD Rewriter - LG Electronics US
    Heck' I can even open and close the tray from my menu bar icon,
    plus it is way faster and less finicky than the superdrives.

  • HT201788 How do I burn photos onto a DVD from iPhoto?

    I am trying to burn photos/folders from iPhoto onto a DVD/CD but when disc utility opens I am unable to burn any of the items or folders onto the disc.  I thought that my optical drive was perhaps malfunctioning so I purchased a SuperDrive.  However, I am running into the same problem. The folders or pictures within, that I want to burn remain inactive.  How can I burn these pictures onto DVD/CD?

    What kind of DVD disk do you want to create?  A data disk that just contains the image files or a video DVD disc that can be played on a DVD player on a TV set.  They are two entirely different types of disks and require different workflows.
    If you're running Yosemite then you have iPhoto 9.6 or 9.6.1.
    For a data disk:
    1 - select the photos to be burned to disk and export to a folder on the Desktop File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu.  Set the Kind = what you want, the original file or the current, edited version.
    2 - insert a blank DVD in the optical drive.
    3 - drag the folder of photos onto the DVD disk's icon.
    3 - drag the DVD disk icon to the Trash Bin in the Dock which turns into the Burn function:
    For a video DVD disk:
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  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.

  • Problem with DVD Player

    I inherited this computer and have spent the last couple of months upgrading it. Put a gig of ram in and added a PCI card to help with a multi screen setup but now I have hit my first major head ache. I bought a Pioneer DVR - 104 off of ebay and installed it no problem. The only issue is once I went to test out my dvd feature I found I had no DVD player. I tried updating the system but it would not install it. So I finally was able to get 3.1 off of this site and it won't start up. It just blinks on the dock once and dissapears. I checked the specs and this machine came with the superdrive but my father opted out of it, why I don't know, so there should be no issues with the hardware, can anyone help me on this?

    Hi-
    I'm sorry the extras is in OS 10.4- my mistake. In OS 10.3, I believe the DVD player is in the main package. I couldn't find it to install seperately. So.......
    Let me recap-
    1- The DVR reads install discs
    2- DVD's won't play because DVD player does not run
    3- DVD-R discs show no response
    So-
    1- The DVR is reading
    2- The version of DVD player may not be compatible
    3- There is no burn support
    To check burn support, in System Profiler, check if under Burn Support "Yes" is showing.
    My current thinking is, that since there was no DVR in the origional configuration, you may need to reinstall (Archive and install) the OS 10.3 to get the proper DVD player installed. this should also configure burn support.
    The other way to get burn support is to use the patchburn that I gave you the link to.
    BUT, I think you should do things one at a time. My advice is to first get the DVR to read, play and burn in that order. There is obviously a problem with DVD player, so, unless some else can advise differently, I would try the Archive and Install of the OS 10.3.
    It may also be good to run the OS 10.3.9 Combined Update:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html
    trying the combined update now wouldn't hurt. If it does not remedy the situation, try the Archive and Install, then update.
    Best-

  • Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users?

    Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users? 

    You can burn a plain CD/DVD by just dragging the photos there; but, that may or may not be playable by everyone. To be sure that the result would be playable in any computer or CD/DVD player, it would be better to use either one of the apps already on your system - such as iPhoto. I don't use that myself - I use other third party software - but take a look at iPhoto help. And, you could make it more interesting by creating a slideshow - also in iPhoto, or iMovie. To give it the final cool touch, bring it into iDVD to give it a polished look if you'd like. You can burn it then from any of the above.
    If you happen to have Toast (an excellent burning app), you could use that as well (that is my preferred way to work). In Toast, you have multiple choices: burn a data CD/DVD for Mac only, for Mac & PC, etc, burn a picture CD, video DVD, etc, etc.

  • Error code 0x8002006E when trying to burn photos to a dvd disk. Please help.

    Im trying to burn photos to a DVD so my friend can view my pictures on their windows computer. There is only 371 pictures for a total of 1.72G of space. It starts to burn them, and then in the middle of the process I get an error code 0x8002006E and it stops, wasting my disk (I assume because the computer no longer recognizes it afterwards). So, I am now down by two DVD disks. What I did was, I made a folder on my desk-top and placed my photos in it from iPhoto '11. I did this because it said that's how to do it if you want your friend to be able to view them on a windows computer. Then, I closed iPhoto and right click on my folder (on my desk-top with the pics in it) and click burn.

    What speed are you burning at and what brand/type of DVD disk are you using?  Are you able to burn a CD?
    It could be a dirty laser in the optical drive.  Get a disk cleaning disk, one with dry brushes - no liquids and use it to clean your optical drive. Burn at the slowest speed available, 2X - 4X.  Use quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums

  • Problems with DVD Player 3.0.1 in G4/466

    Problems with DVD Player in G4/466
    Yes, I've a g4/466 with two disks. In the first there's system 9.2.2 and the DVD player goes perfect. In the second I've system 10.2 and the 9.2, and the DVD Player (3.0.1) on the system 10 begins to jump in the dock, but stop and nothing happens, I can't open it...
    There's any way to reinstal it form system disks???
    Or any download to check the error?
    Thanks

    1. Try using Pacifist to extract it from your Mac OS X 10.2 installation disks, and then run the combo updater for your version of Mac OS X and any applicable DVD Player updates.
    2. Open the Console application in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and look for lines relating to the DVD Player.

    In what file type and compression format did you download the YouTube content? I.e., to avoid such issues, you would normally download the source files as content that is natively compatible with your target player or convert incompatible file type/compression format combinations to files that are compatible with your targeted media player.

  • M4500 anable to connect with DVD player

    Hi,
    Kindly help me I am not able to connect my Creative M4500 speakers with DVD player.
    Regards

    Not sure what your asking as it should be very simple, you are talking about the X-fi front bay unit right? You have a DVD player with R&w outs, you simply connect to those and then the same R&W connectors on the bay unit. I believe its treated as Linein2 in the mixer. Should be very simple to figure out

  • Are Compressor files compatible with DVD Studio Pro?

    I am buying Final Cut Pro X and Compressor, but I am working on a school project that needs to be finished in DVD Studio Pro. Would the compressed files be compatible with DVD Studio Pro even though FCP7 and FCPX are not compatible?

    Yes.  Compressor 4 (or any version) will create the DVD-compliant files that are used in DVDSP.

  • Burning photos onto a dvd

    I am trying to burn photos onto a DVD and I always get an error that I need to remove the number of photos selected becayse the file is too big. Is there anyway to see how much space I have as I am adding images? thanks

    I find the "burn folder" very useful. While in the fFinder, click the file menu:
    and select "New Burn Folder." Like Klaus says, it gives you a size as you populate it. I like these because I can have a folder ready to burn when someone asks for a CD or DVD of images, or when I need to make multiple copies.
    A burn folder is easy to spot because it gets a different icon (this is from OS 10.6.8):
    and you can rename it anyway  your like (ex., "2012 Family Reunion")

  • N96 not compatible with i-Player

    I have had my N96 for a week, so don't know where everything is and/or how it works, however when I tried to install i-player from the my nokia download software on my pc (with phone attached?), it directs me to the BBc site which states that the phone isn't compatible with i-player?
    Any ideas? am i doing the right thing, or should i-player be already on the phone somewhere?
    Any advice would be appreciated

    You have probably been trying to install the full PC version to your phone, this won't work
    You need to download it through your phones mobile web browser.
