Burning slideshow to disc using iPhoto 5

I have a number of slideshows that I want to burn to disc to make prints of slideshow photos. Can this be done or do I have to drag photos from the library?

Yes, I do want to burn a DVD. However, I want all 4 songs to play. I tried exporting the slideshow as a QuickTime movie, switching the order of the songs so a different one was first each time (4 different versions). All of them played the first song, but not the other 3. So I don't think the songs are protected.
Since I spent alot of time arranging the iPhoto slideshow to corresspond to the 4 songs, that's really the way I'd like to be able to burn the DVD.
I do have the latest Quicktime version, 7.5.5. I guess I can start all over in iDVD to match the music to the images but if possible, I'd like to be able to download the iPhoto slideshow as it was made. I don't want to edit it.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

Saving as a PDF file for some users have been a problem. If you boot into Safe Mode and run iPhoto you can create undamaged PDF files. We don't know why the problem but this is a workaround.
This problem prevents many from ordering books, calendars and cards since iPhoto creates PDF file of them for uploading and printing. Booting into Safe Mode lets them successfully order those items.

Trouble burning Dual-Layer discs using various programs... suggestions?

Hello, I could really use some constructive, helpful recommendations here. I've been trying to burn some large (5+ GB) disc images (ISOs, but mostly VIDEO_TS files) to a Dual-Layer disc that would play on a regular DVD player.
So far I've tried a couple different DL disc brands (HP, Memorex), and various programs (Finder, Liquid CD, even Toast Titanium 10 seems to have a hard time doing so), but without much luck-- mostly just end up with coasters.
Have you had this problem trying to burn Dual-Layer discs? And what's a good freeware/shareware program or method that's done the job that you can recommend? I have at least 75GB of space on my 250GB drive (so I would imagine that's enough for any temp burn folder purposes...)
Thanks!

I use Verbatim usually and never have any problems so try one of those if possible, but before you do run a DVD Lens Cleaner disc through it as just a small spec of dust or dirt can sometimes play havoc.
I burn most things with Toast or the Mac OS itself.

Problems burning dual layer discs using 10.3.9

Hi please can someone help!!
I am pretty knowledgeable about macs but having problems.
My mac came with a pioneer 103 superdrive and have had no problems burning CDs and DVDs with Toast 6 Titanium. Recently i wanted to back up my dvds i have bought as some you can't easily buy anymore.
So i bought an external usb pioneer 108 and some 2.4x Dual layer DVD+R Rivision discs.
When ever i burn it gets right to the end of finishing and comes up with various errors and says it may have a lead-in lead-out connectivity problem. I have installed a patchburn which recognised both dvd drives and i installed before trying to burn. I have read somewhere that OSX 10.2.9 + can burn Dual layer and i have 10.3.9.
I have tried best and 2x with no joy. I am also using the setting DVD-ROM (UDF). After the disc mounts it plays through DVD player but is really jolting and is spit out by my normal DVD player connected to my TV.
I have got the DVD info off the disc using MactheRipper and just placing the two folders Video T_S and the other on the disc. I am keeping the Name as it was orginally. I have successfully copied a DVD that was less than 4.7gb which worked on both of my dvd players with my Pioneer 103 drive that can only burn normal DVDs.
I have not tried burning any other disc formats on the Pioneer 108 but felt it was a software problem rather than a hardware.
I have looked on Pioneer.co.uk and they have Firmware's i can download for the Pioneer 108 but not sure what firmware is or does? or whether they are PC or Mac versions.
thanks for your time, hope i have given all information required, would appreciate anyones help.

You need Tiger if you want to burn DL Media using the Finder, otherwise you'll need to invest in Roxio's Toast.

I want to burn a DVD of a slideshow I made using iPhoto. Can anyone tell me how?

I have made a slide show from photos in iPhoto. It works fine and I have published it to my "me gallery". I now want to make a DVD of this slideshow. I have tried to use an old version of Toast and I get an error message after the slideshow has been formated and "supposedly" burned. I've tried to burn it from the iTunes application and that doesn't work either. Can anyone help?

I would post in the iPhoto forum.

I keep getting "media not present" when tring to burn blu ray disc using PE 10. This used to work fine. Nothing changed as far as I know

Has any one had this problem?

Karl
Thanks for the reply.
Part 1.
1. Task Manager/Process. If you are seeing the following processes with Premiere Elements 10 closed, then Task Manager/Processes and End Task for each of these processes
that you are seeing there
a. Adobe QT32 Server.exe
and
b. Elements Auto Analyser.exe
Part 2.
a. Open Premiere Elements 10 to the Timeline workspace, go to Help Menu/Deactivate and click on Deactivate. Close out of there.
b. Then, uninstall Premiere Elements 10 via the usual Control Panel route.
c. Do a run through with the free ccleaner (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts).
CCleaner - Download
d. Reinstall Premiere Elements 10 with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
Part 3. ccleaner details.
Cleaner part. This is straight forward. Click on the Cleaner Tab in the left column of the ccleaner dialog and then click on Run Cleaner in the section of the dialog to the right.
Registry part. Click on the Registry Tab in the left column of the ccleaner dialog. Then click on Scan for Issues in the section of the dialog to the right.
After the "Scan for Issues" is completed, you will then see an active "Fix Selected Issues" to the right of "Scan for Issues".
Click on "Fix Selected Issues".
At this point, you will see a pop up dialog
Click Yes to that message and continue to Save the registry backup file to your computer hard drive location of your choice.
Follow the on screen instructions after the save of the registry back up file.
Part 3.
The critical part is that you obtain the Premiere Elements 10 installation files. You already have the purchased serial number. So you should be OK on the serial number side of things.
Download and install the Premiere Elements 10 tryout files appropriate to your computer from the following web site. It is critical that you read and care out word for word the web page's write up for "Note: Very Important Instructions" and use its click "here" as instructed. Otherwise you will get an excess denied message.
Photoshop Elements 10 Direct Download Links: Free Trials, Premiere | ProDesignTools
During the installation of these files to your computer, when asked for, insert your purchased serial number into them.
Make sure that antivirus and firewall(s) are disabled for the download and install.
Comments. There are no guarantees that this will resolve the "No Media Present" for Premiere Elements 10 burn to AVCHD on DVD and Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc. In the end, you may have to look at external burners until you find one that works for you for these burn to choices.
Did any of your computer pre-loaded software come with backup installation files? I suspect not.
Please review the above and then let us know if you need clarification on any of the above. You might want to give more consideration to exploring the external burner possible solution.
Thanks.

Has anyone burned 1080p blu-ray discs using Final Cut Pro alone?

I am in the market for a new computer. Currently I am a PC user who has burned Blu-Ray discs using Pinnacle. I am dissatisfied with that software because it hangs and crashes at critical moments in the rendering and burn process. I am considering switching to Mac but will only do so if I can burn true Blu-Ray movies which are playable in an ordinary Blu-Ray player.
I have read some of the discussions on this board and it is not clear to me whether it is yet possible to burn 1080p Blu-Ray discs playable on any Blu-Ray player using Final Cut Pro alone. Can someone confirm for me whether they have done this? Some users have indicated they can only output 720p using Final Cut Pro (which is not very satisfying). Others have indicated it is necessary to use Adobe Encore. If you have to use Adobe Encore to burn, why use Final Cut Pro at all? Why not use Adobe Premier Pro for editing and Encore for burning?

David S. wrote:
And yes you can author single track 1080p blu ray discs with Compressor 3.5.
But that's not what the OP asked, "using FCP alone."
Why not use Adobe Premier Pro for editing and Encore for burning?
Well, why not just put CS4 on your PC, especially considering you already have the BD hardware?
There is no truth to the rumor that applications running on Macintosh are any more stable than the same apps a PC; all systems crash.

IDVD will no longer burn DVD+R discs

After years of happily burning both -R and +R DVD's, now suddenly my iDVD will only work with -R? I'm stranded here with no -R discs (and a new 50-pack of the other), so I hope you can tell me how to restore this function of my software. I suspect it has to do with updates that make the various components incompatible, but I wouldn't have a clue how to remedy that.
I've tried closing and re-starting iDVD, emptying the trash, removing the motion function, deleting encoded assets, moving com.apple.iDVD something something to the desktop before opening iDVD, but nothing made it keep the disc in the drive. It spits it out saying to please insert a DVD-R disc.
Thanks!

Try this:
1. Instead of burning directly to disc, use the option in iDVD to output to a disc image
2. Upon completion of creating the disc image, use Apple Disk Utility to burn the image to your new media
If that fails, it is likely a media issue; your drive is not compatible with your new media.
Outside of this, something else you can try is to simply see if the disc can be burned using Finder. While in Finder, you can mount writable discs in your drive for backing up files and folders. If Finder cannot mount and write to the disc, again you have a media issue.
What to do?
Wait for Apple to update the drive firmware to handle newer media; or get an external drive that is newer; or purchase new media. The latter is your cheapest and most timely solution.
I've got quite a selection of media here and seem to notice that some brands give me the most problem. I've found that Verbatim, Sony, Fuji, TDK, and Taiyo-Yuden seem to give predictable results time and time again.
My most recent failure was with some off-brand +R DL media I picked up at a Frys sale. While trying to burn a Snow Leopard install disk, I had 3 failures in a row - drive recognized the disc and burned it, but it would not verify. Going back to one of my tried and true brands resulted in success on the first try.
Caveat Emptor.

Burning disks from MBA using Remote Disk

Several posts have been made related to being able to burn Optical disks from the MBA using the Remote Disc feature.
So far all I've been able to perform using Remote Disc is for reading software Installer discs such as the Apple's Mac OS X DVD Installer disc and $MS Office:mac 2004 Installer disc.
Any attempt to write/burn an optical disc using Remote Disc has been unsuccessful.
What does work (as you would expect to work) is the Toast 8 Titanium's ToastAnywhere feature. Having Toast 8 installed on both Macs it's possible to launch Toast 8 on the MBA and have access to the optical drive on another Mac with Toast 8 installed. I've successfully done this several times for burning optical discs. I used my MBA and my PowerMac G5's SuperDrive.
I assume the reverse will work where the PowerMac G5 could access the MBA's $99 SuperDrive for burning optical discs.

Remote Disk is generally used to share a CD or DVD drive to install things across the network so you don't have to buy a SuperDrive. To get to a shared Windows drive, you have to set up Sharing. Windows uses SMB (Simple Message Block). Search support for documents on sharing with a Windows PC. Many of the Mac 101 and Switching documents discuss this also. If the drive is shared in the Windows on the same subnet (you might have to designate a workgroup on the Mac, don't remember) it will appear in Finder on the Mac.

If your Mac is a new one, like mine, then it comes with a version of iLife that doesn't have iDVD and if so, there isn't an easy way to burn a DVD from iPhoto or iMovie that will play on a normal DVD player. There is quite a bit of correspondence about this, but I couldn't find a good answer, apart from this:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18460085#18460085
I ended up buying (via Amazon) a boxed version of iLife11, which has all the same software I already have, but with a copy of iDVD with it.
Seems to work well with iMovie, but at the moment, my copy of iPhoto has crashed - see:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18943719#18943719
Having only just transferred from a Windows machine to a Mac, it seems incredibly arrogant for Apple to think people don't use DVD players anymore.

I'm having problems creating a slideshow that I can burn to a DVD. I can see all of the pictures but it goes black at a certain point every time. I'm using iPhoto. I've tried copying it but the same thing happens. Ideas?

I've loaded about 100 photos into a slideshow that I would like to burn into a DVD to share with friends at a 50th birthday celebration. It keeps going black at a certain point but I can see the pictures in the cue. Any ideas on how to correct this and how to burn it to disc easily? Thanks! This is my first time trying to do this.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
how are you trying to export the slideshow?
Here's how I recommend one get a slideshnow to iDVD: export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
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.

Export the photos to a desktop folder, right click on the folder and burn to disk - see if that is any different

Pictures are blurry when slideshow is burned to dvd using iPhoto, iMovie and iDvd. How do I correct?

I used iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD... How do I create a slideshow burned to a DVD without getting blurry images when slideshow is played through DVD a player?

You created the slideshow using the built-in Ken Burns effect in iPhoto or iMovie? I've never found that to be up to my expectations; additionally, if the people or objects in the pictures have certain designs (in their clothes), using movement can blur them. I use Photo to Movie myself - to me it creates the smoothest movement in slideshows. Another possibility is the size of your images: did you increase or decrease their original size? And when you encoded it, what settings did you use? I use the Share > Quicktime > Expert settings and then choose these options:
I've found that these settings result in the most lossless conversion. After the new .mov file is saved to the desktop, I then add it to iDVD after creating a customized menu and theme.

Burn SlideShow by using iPhoto

Hi, I made a book and a slideshow of my trips, however, on the iPhoto menu, when I click on Share-->Burn, that button is unavailable. Could someone help me on this please ? I really want to burn it on DVD. Thanks and have a nice day.

quocle:
You can have only one item selected to get the Share menu to be active. If you've selected both the book and slideshow then you'll have to do the book first and then the slideshow second. If iPhoto tries to put the slideshow in a separate iDVD project just close the project without saving, open the book iDVD project, locate the slideshow movie file that will have been created and saved in the Movie folder and drag it into the open iDVD window (be sure t o avoid any drop zones in the menu window).
The share book to iDVD will create a movie file of the book I believe. A different way to create a slideshow of the book is described in Tutorial #6. IMO it gives better final image quality than using a Quicktime movie file of the book.
The same goes for slideshows of still photos. The downside of doing it all in iDVD is that you cannot have the Ken Burns effect. So if the KB is important then stick with the iPhoto slideshow to iDVD method.
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. 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 now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

This is my first time using iphoto, I am trying to make a slide show that I can then burn to a dvd. The slide show is complete, but I'm not sure where to go now. Can I burn the slide show from iphoto or do I have to export to imovie or idvd?

I have completed the slide show i am making, but not sure what to do now. I want to burn it to a dvd, but not sure if i can do that from iphoto or do i need to export to imovie or idvd? If i need to export, will iphoto save a copy in iphoto? This may be really stupid, but I don't see an obvious way to save my slide show in iphoto. Please Help!

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.

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.
NOTE: If you're running iPhoto 9.5 the export options will be different.
