Burning several "slideshows / Movies" to DVD

I would like to know if it is possable to burn several short "slideshows / movies" to a single DVD and if you can, how to do it.

Yes, the only consideration would be the total Duration of the SlideShows.
Now, much of the workflow will depend on how the SlideShows have been produced. If you have have several SlideShow Projects already, go to each one, and Export/Share to DV-AVI files w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio. Then, start a new DV Project, Import those DV-AVI files into it, and author with Menus, etc., and Burn to Disc.
If one has yet to start, then the SlideShows can be assembled onto one Timeline, and one would just author that to DVD.
When working with still images, I would strongly suggest Scaling the images in PS/PSE, before Importing into PrE. This ARTICLE will give you tips. Also, if the SlideShows were created in PSE, then one can Export to Premiere Elements, and if more editing is necessary, they can Break Apart the PSE SlideShow.
Where are you in the process, as that might direct you in one way, or another?
Good luck,
Hunt

  • When I try to burn my slideshow.mov to a dvd disc, it will burn but when i put it in the dvd player it says 'disc error'. I have burned it thru iDVD before but forgot how to do it and it won't do it now. The slide show is on my desktop

    Rather than burn directly to disk 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.

  • When I burn my slideshow to a DVD, it loses focus.  How do I retain the sharpness of my photos?

    When I burn my slideshow to a DVD, it loses focus.  How can I retain the resolution of my slides?

    DVD is a quite limited format and involves a very large mount of compression to get your large multi-megpixel images down to the DVD format (roughly equivalent to a 3 to 3.5 megapixel image.
    Further, creating a slideshow in iPhoto (or other app) involves converting the images into a movie - and that also involves compression - so the images are doubly compressed.
    It's all a matter or trial and error to find the system that works for you. Some folks export from iPhoto at the largest size possible to minimise compression in that phase, some make the slideshow in iDVD to eliminate that first phase compression entirely.

  • Help!! I can't get my new macbook to print with my Dell 155w OR burn a home movie to DVD

    I cannot get my very recently purchased macbook pro to burn a home video to dvd OR connect to my dell 155w printer. I bought a macbook because it was so highly recomended. But I don't want to keep replacing things. I am so frustrated. I wanted a macbook because of its reputation. But I can't seem to figure out anything. I'm dissapointed and thinking I will just return it.

    Your problem may be able to be solved but take this from a Long time Windows user and current Mac owner. Macs are not easier to use. Mac break down just as often as PCs, percentage wise as to how many are sold/produced.
    They use the exact same hardware as Win PCs.
    The learning curve for OS X is greater then for Windows.
    Not sure of the age of your printer but it may not be supported in the newest Mac OS, Lion.
    We would need a little more info on how you are trying to connect TO the printer. USB cable or Wirelessly.
    As far as burning a Home Movie to DVD. Apple use to supply a program called iDVD for this but with the introduction of Lion OS they stopped supplying that program. You could try another burning program. Try Burn or you could buy something like Toast (Burn is free).
    Personally I would return your Macbook Pro and stick to what you know with a good PC notebook.
    Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund. Take advantage of that policy.

  • Hi... I am looking for an inexpensive app for my macbook pro that I can put pictures and videos together into a slideshow with captions and music WITHOUT a watermark and that also will burn the slideshow to a DVD in its own app. Help?

    The issue with the A1400 is that like most economy compact cameras, they will not have very fast focus times in indoor lighting situations. Many people have gone to entry level DSLR's (Canon T3i) or micro 4/3 cameras. They are fairly expensive, but a late model refurbished T3i can sometimes be found with a kit lens for about $300.00. With Auto and scene modes, as well as full manual modes, these are very versatile cameras that focus very quickly, even in lower lighting situations. Canon is not really into the micro 4/3 cameras, instead they are focusing on the new G7x and G1x cameras, which are way out of your price range. The A720 is still available used at some places such as KEH camera, but you'll need to check often as their stock changes constantly. Obviously the DSLR's don't use AA batteries, but the T3i is good for about 600 photos (or more) per charge.
    My refurbished DSLR was practically brand new condition when I got it. I could not find any sign of wear at all, so I feel they are a real bargain. These are rugged cameras that are made to last. The A1400 is a $99.00 camera, so it's not intended for heavy usage, plus the image quality of a DSLR (even entry level) is far better than the A1400. That would be my recommendation.

  • IDVD is not on my system and I cannot download it from the App store.  How Do I burn my home movies to DVD?

    iDVD is not in my macBook pro and I need an iDVD or a good program to burn my home movies on DVD with menus. I cannot download iDVD or any other professional programs like DVD Studioor ... from App store. Please help me how do I burn my short films to DVD? Also please tell me any other free programs alternate it for burn DVD with putting menus.

    Hi
    iDVD is not or never been free !
    there are up-dates but still You need the original iDVD v. 7.x.x to use them.
    Best of program - not sold by Apple any more but on Amazon or e-bay in boxed versions of iLife 11
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on Internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

    Ask in the iDVD forum on what's the best way out of iPhoto and into iDVD.  The resident expert there, Bengt Wärleby, can give you the best option.

    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.

    Another update to my burning problem...in my movies folder there is an img file (states it is a classic disk image-2.82GB) after I have tried burning a DVD unsuccessfully and when I open the img file I see 1) AUDIO_TS AND 2) VIDEO_TS files. I 'control' clicked the file and tried burning this folder onto a disc. Result it seemed to burn both files onto DVD but still couldn't view video.

  • How can I burn a slideshow to a DVD from with in iPhoro?

    I have several slideshows that I spent a long time working on on a old drive that I don't use. How can I bring the slideshows across in tact so that I don't have to spend a huge amount of time organizing the photos again and, even worse, having to redo all the manual Ken Burn's effects so that zoom right from one part of the photo to the other part.
    I suppose I could send the slideshow to iDVD but I don't think I would then be able to import it into iPhoto.

    Yes. To get a larger, widescreen, QT movie you will have to use iMovie. I recommend you useiMovie HD 6 as it's much better for adding music, etc.
    Click to view full size
    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.

  • Want to burn my first "movie" to DVD, but...

    I made my husband a slideshow "movie" from my daughters, as a valentines day gift. I thought burning it would be the easy part, but nope!
    I made it in imovie, and have been able to preview it in idvd, but whenever I hit burn, the little spiral thing swirls around for a moment, then closes back up. I read that the superdrive was supposed to open automatically when you click burn also, but that doesn't happen for me, either. Is there a crucial step I am missing somewhere?
    Thank you for your time!!
    Rachel

    Have you tried manually loading a blank DVD before hitting the "burn" button? (If you get a prompt asking you what to do with the blank DVD, hit the "ignore" button".)
    One other thing - you're posting in the iDVD 5 forum, but in case you're running iDVD 4: iDVD 4 will only burn DVD-R media, not any other type. iDVD 5 accepts other media types as well (DVD+R, RW, etc.) However, remember that other media types, especially RW, may not work in many DVD players.

    I've been using "Burn" for years and it has been the only DVD burning software I have ever used for the mac. I have never needed to look at other apps. Unless you want something that has more bells and whistles such as Roxio's "Toast" : http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/pro/overview.html
    There are thousands of quality free apps out there for the mac that are not part of the App Store. All you have to do is read reviews online, do a little search, the Apple forums are full of recommendations from experienced users that have been here for years...

  • HT204370 Is it possible to burn a purchased movie to DVD somehow?

    I've purchased a movie with iTunes and I don't want to hook up my computer to the TV screen every time I want to watch it. Is there some way to burn the movie to DVD or to convert it to a burnable format?

    No, they can only be copied to a DVD for backup purposes, you won't be able to play them on a DVD player.

  • How do you burn a slideshow to a DVD that will play on DVD players and PC computers?

    I burned a slideshow in Aperture onto a DVD containing about 40 photos with a sound track from iTunes.  The disk will play on my iMac but not on my wife's PC or on two of our DVD players (less than three years old.).  What am I missing in the burning sequence that causes the problem? 

    What Shutttleworth says is the way to go however you might run into one gotcha, iDvd is no longer available if you bought your current machine with Lion on it.
    iDvd use to be part of iLife but is no longer offered as either a seperate download from the App Store or as part of any App Store bundle. If you can still find an iLife boxed set iDvd will be on the DVD in the box. Other then that you'll need to look at thrid party solutions.
    Of course if you upgraded to Lion and had iLife before the upgrade you should have a copy of iDvd.
    good luck
