Burning two separate disks onto one dvd

I have a dvd with 1.7 gigs on it and another with 2.2 gigs. Is it possible to burn both disks onto one dvd or do I have to import them back into idvd and make a new dvd out of that?

Hi Larry
You'll lose some quality since its already been compressed but yes there is software that allows you to import back into iMovie via QT in addition to the great link Len provided above:

(end product sometimes looks like low quality VHS though)
May want to try the free demo first.
Hope this is helpful and good luck

Burning two short projects onto one DVD disc

I have two short but related slideshows that I want to put on the same DVD disc. Can I do this? Or is there an alternative?

If you created them in iMovie , just drag the slideshows(iMovie) folder one at a time into iDVD.
I believe the same for iPhoto slideshows.

?? burn multiple iMovie movies onto one dvd with iDVD

I understand how to burn a single iMovie project onto a dvd by using the share menu to share with iDVD. But how can i burn multiple iMovie projects with iDVD onto one disc??

You can share the first movie from iMovie, but all the others will need to be exported from iMovie as movies and dragged into the iMovie project.

How do I burn several Video_TS folders onto one DVD?

A cousin had some very old (as early as 1929!) film converted and burned to three DVDs, of them short (the total run time is under an hour). What's the best way to combine them into one DVD so I can duplicate it and send to other family members? I'm copying the VIDEO_TS files but am leery of re-naming them for fear of confusing Toast 7.
Can iDVD6 help do this more simply?

How fabulous!
The old family movies I converted to DVDs were only from 1958!
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS folders back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip (you just drop the TS folder into the Streamclip window):
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
(Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal. )
Once in iMovie you can edit the 'stray bits' out, have each old movie as a chapter etc.
Then send it to iDVD for burning, or use Toast.

Burning 2 quicktime movies onto one DVD using iDVD

I wonder if you could help me.
I have 2 Quick time movies - created in FCP - one hour and 10 mins each . Is it possible to put both on one DVD using iDVD? (one is the front view and other side view of a performance).
I have version 5.0.2 iDVD and am burning on desktop G5
Both movies have chapter markers (created already in FCP)
Is it possible to do this and how do I do it using the right menu and proper theme etc- and right method of importing or loading the movies.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks
Nan

Hello Nan,
a Single Layer DVD can hold a maximum of 120 min of video (incl. menus), so either you burn 2 SL DVDs or try to put both movies on a Double Layer DVD, provided you have a burner capable of writing DL DVD.
how do I do it using the right menu and proper theme etc- and right method of importing or loading the movies.
I suggest you have a look at this tutorial by Ken Stone: Authoring with iDVD 5

Burning multiple iDVD projects to one DVD

I have iDVD 6 and I've made 3 family iDVD projects over the last few years. Is there a way I can burn all 3 projects onto one DVD? Maybe a new theme with each project as it's own chapter w/subchapters?
I've tried a few things, but not successfully. If it's not doable w/iDVD6, how about newer versions?
thx - j

One way is to drag the underlying iMovie projects into the corner of the main menu window of a new iDVD project. They will import as three separate movies and become part of that project. Depends, of course, on how much running time your movies have. Running time for a standard DVD is 2 hours total. Double layer disks are 4 hours.
Another way would be to merge the three iMovie projects into one long project, and import that into iDVD as one long movie.

Burn multiple iphoto albums to one dvd

Hi,
I would like to burn multiple iphoto albums onto one dvd.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Brandon

What's the destination of this disk? Another Mac with iPhoto? Then use the Share -> Burn command
Anything else: Select the Albums in the iPhoto Window and export them to Folders on the desktop. Then burn those folders with the Finder.
One exception: Going to view the files on a DVD player? You'll need to create the disk in iDVD.
Regards

How do i burn an iPhoto slideshow onto a DVD?

how do I burn an iphoto slideshow onto a DVD? and a blueraycompatable DVD?

Export the slideshow from iPhoto, that makes a movie of it.
Do you want to use this DVD in a domestic DVD player? If so, then the disk will have to be 'authored' to make it the correct form for that. If you have iDVD then that's the app you use. However, iDVD is no longer developed or distributed by Apple. You may be able to get it on an old iLIfe install disk.
Other options:
Burn: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/21992/burn
Toast: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/6351/toast-titanium
But there are lots of others too. Search on the App Store or MacUpdate
As for Bluray you'll need an app (and a burner) that can create that format.

Combining Items From Several DVDs Onto One DVD ?

I know this is not an FCE query but neither is it an iDVD one !
I have several DVDs with a few short FCE-created films on each of them.
I now want to put some of those films onto one DVD.
It could be done by copying the films back into FCE and then burning a DVD, but that would be time-consuming and would involve generational losses.
Is there a quicker way ? ( I have Toast 8 and Final Cut Studio if there is anything there that could help).
Ian.

If the DVD has the space to hold the three movies then you can fit them on there. Combining DVD movies is not like adding tracks on a CD. DVDs have pretty strict rules about what goes where = authoring. You will need to reauthor the DVD, creating a new VIDEO_TS folder accommodating your three movies together so it will play on your television DVD player. This is not just putting all the files in one folder, but creating correct information files to go with the video. Even if you have a tool that will re-author for you it may not create menus, which makes navigating using your TV pretty cumbersome. Sizzle is a freeware tool that lets you create new menus, but it hasn't been upgraded in a while and is not the most intuitive. If you're happy with just the most basic of menus and working out problems with software then you can use it.
So, simply copying the three sets of files onto a single DVD will not work in your video player, though you can play the files on your computer using a program like VLC.
The other problem you may be encountering is blank media quality. If you are using the cheap DVDs sold in bulk in discount stores you may find your player won't be able to read them. I have put the same movie on cheap DVDs and high-quality ones. The player could not read the chap DVDs but had no problem with the identical files on a good quality DVD. RW media (be it DVD or CD) can often present even more of a problem in players than non-rewritable media, unless you player specifically states it can handle RW.

I have a 2011 MacbookPro. I'm trying to burn an iMovie trailer onto a DVD that will work on a TV. When I go to "share" as instructed, it prepares the movie but then can't find iDVD on my computer. Help!

iDVD is no longer supported by Apple and does not come pre-loaded on new Macs.
If your computer did not come with iDVD and iWeb preinstalled, you can ask Apple for a free copy here:

Alternatively, you can purchase a boxed version of iLife '11 from Apple, Amazone, etc. Boxed versions come with iDVD and iWeb still on the disk.

How do I consolidate an Itunes music library on two windows computers onto one windows computer?

How do I consolidate an Itunes music library on two windows computers onto one windows computer?

Click here, pick the option which best fits your situation, open the larger library in iTunes, move the media files from the smaller one into the library in the open iTunes program window or the Automatically Add to iTunes folder, and then import the playlists. Any rented movies will only play on the computer they were originally downloaded to.

HT5620 How can I set up two separate accounts on one iPad?

How can I set up two separate accounts on one shared iPad?

The iPad is meant to be a single user device.
It is possible to use multiple ID's on an iOS device, but when you switch ID's and download content with another ID, you associate the device with that ID for 90 days and lock yourself out of the other ID for that 90 day period.
So while it is possible, it's not advisable.

Has anybody actually succeeded in burning 96/24 audio onto a DVD-R?

Has anybody actually succeeded in burning 96/24 audio onto a DVD-R and been able to play it back on a standard DVD player? iDVD apparently does not support 96/24 audio files. On three different computers, 2 MacBooks and a G4 Powerbook, with 5 different versions of OS 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 and several different updates to Toast 9, I still have never been able to burn a 96/24 Music DVD. 48/24 works, but that throws away half the musical information/resolution--and that really isn't satisfactory. Is there anyone out there who has actually succeeded in burning 96/24 Music DVDs with Toast Titanium 9???? If so on what machine and with what OS (and I suppose what version of Toast 9)? Any hints? Thanks

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Try having a read of some of the articles on this page. These cover the use of the Burn folder as already mentioned as well as various other methods.

Burning an iPhoto slideshow onto a DVD

How can I burn an iPhoto slideshow onto a DVD? I have created a slideshow with music but cannot determine how to burn it to a DVD. I've tried to use iDVD but cannot figure it out. I need very basic instructions, please.
Thank you!

Depends on information you do not supply - but burn a slide show to DVD export it to the desktop as a QuickTime movie and the using the finder burn it to dial - it can be played on any device that can play QuickTime
To play on a DVD player it must be authored which requires iDVD or other authoring software like Toast - neither involves iPhoto - there is a iDVD forum and Toast has a support forum

You can share the first movie from iMovie, but all the others will need to be exported from iMovie as movies and dragged into the iMovie project.
