Burning slide show through idvd

My friend has a slide show of several hundred slides. He made it in iphoto. He would like to burn it to a dvd that will be able to play on a tv so he can send it off to friends that were also on the trip. On the iphoto board I was told to "share" "send to idvd". Can someone give me the steps from there?
Thanks! Hope I am posting this in the right place!

Hi jersey:
I would suggest saving the iDVD project as a disk image and burning it with the disk utility. That way when you can choose the slowest burn possible to make the best playing DVD possible.

Use Verbatim DVD-R 4x or 8x (NOT DVD+R).
This is about the best step by step guide I can offer:

There is a 99 slide limit in iDVD 5 that Ken Stone helps you with in the link above.

How to burn slide show to a dvd to watch on any tv

how do you burn slide show to a disk to watch on any tv

If you only have PSE, then output your slideshow as a wmv file and use whatever software you have to create the video dvd, even something like Windows DVD maker. If you also have Premiere Elements, then send the slideshow there for finishing.

In an effort to try to do a slide show through my apple TV and my computer I have lost all of my work in iPhono for the past 5 years. I upgraded and lost my albums and books. How do I get everything back the way it was?

In an effort to try and show a slide show through my apple tv I upgraded my iPhoto app now I have lost all of my books albums and photo's over the last 5 years. How can I get it back the way it was 2 hours ago?

to know your version of OS, click on the apple, then " About This Mac".
Same thing for your version of iPhoto: in iPhoto, click on "iPhoto" then "About iPhoto".

how to burn slide show too a dvd-r in web superdrive plugged into the usb port

I think this link will offer some good insight. I would recommend moving the library to an external HD if you are already using iPhoto on your MBP. If you do decide to move the library directly to your MBP just make sure you are using a different enough name for it that your MBP can easily locate each library independently.

When I watch slide show through my Apple TV version 6..2 the air play instruction box appears always on the screen and hides the photo. Is there any way to stop it.

Hi Sujatha vijay,
It sounds as if your Apple TV is in Conference Room Display mode. You will need to turn this off. See this article -

I made a slide show with music and random transitions in iPhoto. I can't burn it to a DVD. The burn button in iPhoto is not highlighted, and when I exported the slide show to iDVD, it lost the random transistions, and the disk won't play in DVD player.

Two problems: 1. My iphoto slide show loses its random transitions when I export it to iDVD.
2. When I then burn it to a disk, the disk will not play in a DVD player, but only on my MAC.
Any ideas?

The random transitions can only be random when played in iPhoto.
If you are in the slideshow mode and use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option a quictime movie will be created of the slideshow with the first random set of transitions and imported into iDVD. The transitions, however, will be fixed permanently and will not be changed again.
There is no way to get any sort of random behavior in an iDVD. When it's burned to disk it's locked permanently.

Why are images distorted when burning a slide show to iDVD from iPhoto?

I have created a slide show in iPhoto and wanted to burn a DVD. Some of the images are scans from old family pictures.
The images present in the proper aspect ratio within iPhoto, but when I burn the CD in iDVD, some of the images are either compressed in from the sides or widened unacceptably. Anyone know why the images are being distorted?

I gave the iphoto slide show a show and although I couldn't access the options in the idvd dialog box, I liked the end results better. I included 225 pics, and the random transition's option from iphoto enhances the outcome. The random transition option is not available in idvd.

Exporting and I photo slide show to IDVD

I am trying to expoert a slideshow from Iphoto to IDVD the problem is that I have 2 songs on the slide show but after the export only one song will play. the slide show continues after the first song but not the music? I like the auto ken burns effect and the titles that I can include in iphoto so perfer to stay with that program to create the slide show instead of starting in iDVD. Any suggestions would be apprecated.

Hi PKColorado,
You find find at least two other threads pertaining to this topic right here on this page.
Only one song exporting with Slideshows
Right now, this seems to be a know problem/bug. There have been some work-arounds. Don't know if the problem is with iPhoto, Quicktime or a combo of both.
-From Bob Worthington: re-ripping the cuts I wanted as background music for the DVD as a single cut in iTunes. I then made a playlist containing the one extended cut of music.
-Old Toad: share to Quicktime from iPhoto and then import the resulting movie into iMovie you can extract and delete the audio from the video and add the two songs to the video and save.
Quicktime Pro-open the movie and bring up the Movie Properties menu window. In the top window select the audio track and delete it.
If you want more than one song you'll have to join them together with iMovie or some other application. Then open that joined file with QT Player. Then do a select all and copy. Now go to the QT window of the movie and select the Edit->Add to Movie menu option. You don't want to scale it because it will change the play speed of the audio unless it's time is exactly the same as the movie.
You could go the other way, open the movie, select all and copy, and then past with scaling to the audio. That will change the speed of the movie and transitions to fit the audio track. In this case the resulting video file will have the name of the audio track file that you started with.
You may have to play with it a bit to get exactly what you want. Be sure to work with copies of all the media files for the project.
-Peter Burtwistle: I opened the Qt movie that iPhoto makes when you export to iDVD and removed the sound track.
Then made a new soundtrack by opening all three songs in QT, then cutting and pasting them together.
Finally use QT Pro's 'Add to Movie" option to add the soundtrack to the original movie.
This worked well and was fast to do too.
-Joe Lombardo: I ended up having to extend the songs by 20 seconds so I brought them all into GarageBand and made some edits. Then I exported them all to iTunes as a single track and used that for the slideshow
As an addendum to Bob Worthingtons solution. Create your playlist in iTunes.
burn the playlist to CD. Import into iTunes using the option to join tracks. Now use this tract for your slideshow.

Burning slide show to dvd

How do i burn my photo slide show i created in i-movie to a DVD? i tried doing from idvd but it wont play on my pc?

I recommend you study the iDVD tutorials from Apple.
If you feel like you know what you are doing and you have followed the tutorials, you may have a failing DVD drive. Call Apple for help getting the DVD drive repaired.
iDVD tutorials should be available in iDVD under Help menu.

Burning slide show on dvd to give to friends

how do i share a slide show or photo album with a group of friends we traveled with? i have no idea if they have apple computors or are techno friendly. i wanted to burn DVD's of my slide how to give away but i can't seem to accomplish that. what is the most effective way to "share" or give a slide show to someone else?

Make you Slideshow in iPhoto and then use the Share -> Send to iDVD command and the slideshow will be sent to iDVD so you can burn a DVD to give to friends.

Burning slide show using scrapbook theme to DVD for viewing on TV using DVD

Made a slideshow using scrapbook theme with songs in iPhoto '09. Clicked on burn disk, after disk was complete tried to play in DVD player on a TV and it won't work.
Can anyone tell me how I can keep the scrapbook theme and burn it to a DVD for viewing on TV using a normal DVD player? We want to be able to just put in DVD player and it auto start into the slide show if possible (if not then a button to start slide show). I know you can go into iDVD and burn a slide show with music but it looses the scrapbook theme of random photo's and cluster photo's that we like when viewed in iPhoto.

I also need to solve this problem. I plan to try to export the slideshow to a Quicktime (.mov) and a MPEG4. I think MPEG4 may be recognized by most DVD players. The Quicktime (.mov) should be able to work with an iDVD project.

Can you burn a master through iDVD that can't be copied?

Periodically it would be helpful for me to be able to create a master that can't be copied on a duplicator. I've looked for, but not found a setting in iDVD that adds some kind of an anti-copy security to the burn. Is it there and I'm just missing it?
Doing it through iDVD would be the easiest, but if not, then what about creating a disk image, then burning through Disk Utility? Is there a way an anti-copy master burn there?
I don't know how to use DVD Studio Pro (yet), but does that allow for anti-copy master burns?
Thanks.

As stated above, if it's a burned dvd (as opposed to a commercially pressed dvd) then it ain't copy protected (ever).
Here's what apple says in their knowledge base (see question 12):
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA26404?viewlocale=en_US#faq12
As suggested above FCS will indeed allow you to set copy protection flags but the burned Dvd itself is not protected. See the following links for DVDSP:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25523?viewlocale=en_US
Keep in mind that even adding CSS is no guarantee the content won't be copied.
My suggestion for burned dvd's like those created through iDvd is to make an AutoStart Movie at the very beginnging with the standard FBI Warning (essentially asking others to not copy the content). Which Bengt Wärleby stated already is only a plea for the viewer/s not to use your content illegally.
Not much more to do unless you're into spending the big bucks for mass duplication and adding CSS.

David,
Below is an extract from a discussion I had with others on forums who had your current dilemma. Adobe's answer is generally to use Adobe Premiere Elements to burn the DVD; if you have it installed there is a additional option to burn to DVD on that menu. However, you may have other choices.
If you have a DVD burner, want to make a PSE 3 or 4 slide show that plays on a TV DVD player, and do not have Premiere Elements:
- create a WMV file using DVD NTSC or DVD PAL (according to your country TV standards) as the OUTPUT parameters
- then read the doc that came with the software that supports your DVD burner (might be Nero, Sonic, Roxio) looking for a function that will create a Video DVD (note that it must specifically be creating/authoring a VIDEO DVD intended for play on TV rather than just burning a data DVD). Once you find this function, use your WMV file from PSE 4 as the input and choose the software options that give you a video DVD.
Based on my experience and conversing with others on forums, this will give you a DVD that is significantly better quality than the Elements VCD (written to a CD) and but not quite as good as a program that does a slide show direct to DVD. Quality is a subjective judgement, so I am not saying this is the answer for everyone. However, my philosphy is generally to try the software I have first before purchasing additional software.
Notes: For Sonic, I used a MyDVD limited edition that came with my burner. For Nero, I communicated with someone who did it with Nero Vision Express. I don't have any specifics for Roxio.
Notes: Creation of the WMV will almost always take a long time - depending on the number of slides and the number and type of transitions, zooms, pans. Each photo must downsized in resolution, then each individual type of motion must be applied; these photos must then become frame per second video (a significantly different format translation). All this takes time and processor power.

Error burning Slide Show to DVD

In the completion stage of the DVD burn in PreE 4 I receive the following error message.- Device error - Sense Code (37304) -program memory area / rma update failure.
Can anyone tell me what the problem may be? Previously i have burned a slide show successfully. Now, after 2 trys for this slide show I receive this same error message.
Sanray19

This error can display two reasons
1. Bad quality disc solution : Use a new disck
2. DVD driver is incorrect or Power supply or disconnect the cable while encoding process is ongoing. : solution : Burn it again.
3. You are working long time in editng, this scenario memory would increased, so that application would not get enough memory generate encoded file. Solution : Restart and burn again.
