Can a slideshow exported to a DVD be shown on a PC computer?

I created a slideshow in iPhoto and exported it to a DVD which plays fine on my Mac, but I was told it won't play on a Windows PC.  Is that true?

Sure it can - if the PC has QuickTime Player - a free download
Export the slide show to the desktop and then using the finder burn the exported QT movie to DVD
Who ever told you no has no idea what they are talking about

  • HT4718 After burning a slideshow from iPhoto export to a DVD, it will not play on my DVD player OS X 10.9.4

    iMac 27' OS X 10.9.4 I burned a slideshow from iPhoto export to a DVD and now it will not play back on anything. The player said Unknown disc. What can i do?

    I do find that using one of these programs will reduce the sharpness of the photos.
    Granted, I've never used iPhoto - I use Photo to Movie for slideshows and various versions of iMovie for videos, but my pics are excellent quality and my videos are shot in 1080p (better camera)  or 720p (small camera) and the results are superb on my TV using both iDVD and Toast. However, I do not encode in iDVD, I simply use it to add a theme and menus. The encoding is done by Photo to Movie, or iMovie 06 HD (the only version ever to process losslessly) and either/both are imported into iDVD as a complete .mov, or Toast.
    Since using those methods, I've never had a problem with the sharpness or crispness of my footage. My eyes cannot discern a difference between my "production" and true HD (unless of course I shook the camera while shooting, LOL).

  • I Use the last FCX but  I have a prob when I export (share) to dvd the result is over 4GB for a single DVD is about 6 to 9 Gb for a short film of 1h so what can I do to fix this

    These "Share" files are accessed and used by the Create Disc app.
    Create Disc is buried in the FCP X package.
    Applications>FCP X>Show Package Contents>Contents>Plugins>Compressor>Compressor Kit.bundle>Show Package Contents>Embedded Apps>Create Disc
    I'm wondering if having the Compressor Application on a Mac makes a difference to having just FCP X on a Mac and the use of the Sharing feature.
    I have Compressor loaded and find that DVD and Bluray burns from Share without any glitches as some are experiencing.

  • Slideshow can not be export: An invalid file or volume name has been detected.

    How can I find this file after following error?
    slideshow can not be export
    An invalid file or volume name has been detected.
    I am not able to export my slideshow at all
    Wie kann ich diese Datei finden nach der Error Meldung?
    Diashow kann nicht exportiert werden
    Ein unzulässiger Datei- oder Volumenname wurde entdeckt.
    Ich kann die Diashow so überhaupt nicht exportieren!

    Wann tritt diese Fehlermeldung auf? Direkt nachdem der "Export" Knopf gedrückt wurde, oder erst nach einiger Zeit, wenn die fertige Diaschau gesichert werden soll?
    Wohin soll die Diaschau geschrieben werden, wenn sie fertig ist? Auf den Schreibtisch oder auf eine externe Festplatte? Die Fehlermeldung könnte bedeuten, dass der gewählte Dateiname unzulässig ist oder der Ordner oder die festplatte unzulässige Namen haben.
    Eventuell ist auch eined der Bilder in der Diaschau nicht lesbar.
    Können Sie überhaupt irgeneine Diaschau exportieren? Versuchen Sie einmal eine neue, zweite Diaschau zu erzeugen, ganz kurz mit nur einoder zwei Bildern. Geht das?

  • Can II have create a 160 photo slideshow as a looping DVD for a TV set DVD?

    I have ~160 digital photos that I would like to run as a looping show for a family party. They range in size from .5 to 1.5 mb. I know each chapter in iDVD5 has a 99 picture limit, so that won't work for me.
    I've imported the photos from iPhoto while in iMovieHD, put transitions between them, then imported that project while in iDVD. It had 2 chapters (one with 99 pics) with one chapter set to loop. I burned it and could watch it on my tv's dvd (a Samsung), though it did not loop at all. The DVD wouldn't even play on a Sony DVD player.
    I can't quite justify (or afford a Final Cut product), but might have hit the limit of iLife.

    Not sure why your iMovie method did not work. If you put your iMovie in the "autoplay" area you see in the map layout of iDVD and set it to "loop" in the advanced menu, it should loop just fine.

    If this didn't work on some DVD players, you might try another brand of DVD-R. I like verbatim.
    Alternatively, you can make the slideshow in iPhoto and use "Send to iDVD" - this also creates a QT file, so it is not subject to the 99 slide limit.

  • Re user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? - I've followed instructions so far so good, until I get to "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. "  How do I do that?

    Re AppleMan 1958 excellent user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? -
    I've followed instructions with success until  "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. "  How do I do that?
    I installed MGEG Streamclip 193b8 and used their utility to install quicktimempeg2 and got a message stating it was successfully installed.  (I'm on latest Maverick 10.9.2 on iMac)  Then I dragged the VIDEO_TS file from my home DVD into the streamclip app.  It asked which of 4 files to use, and I selected the first one.  Streamclip played the video with the sound.  so far so good. but now I cannot figure how to use quicktime player 10.3 to export this vob file out of streamclip.

    Thank you for your quick reply and for clearing up my confusion.  I'm exporting the first section now.  I choose the smallest size, 3x4 but I'd prefer to go higher as this DVD was originally a VHS home movie.  I'm wondering if after three conversions (VHS,->DVD->MPEG) the resolution will be so poor as to not support a larger size frame?  If it can, what size should I select when I export?

    So it sounds like you are trying to burn a DVD with photos on it so the photos can be either transferred to or displayed on a Windows PC, is that correct?
    For the purposes of this I am going to assume you are using iPhoto '11.
    Gather the photos you want to burn to DVD in one album in iPhoto. This is not absolutely necessary but it sure makes things easier for me.
    Select that album, then go to the File menu and select Export...
    In the dialog that shows up, select the File Export tab. Select the setting you want to use for export. Click the Export button.
    Another dialog will show up. Set the location to Desktop and click the New Folder button. Name the folder something nice and descriptive and click the Create button.
    Click the OK button. Quit iPhoto as the rest of this work will be done in the Finder.
    You will now have a folder on your desktop with that nice descriptive name. Find it and select it. Go to the File menu and from it select Burn "Descriptive folder name" to Disc...
    Insert a blank DVD when prompted.
    Let the finder complete the work and eject the disc afterwards.
    That's it. Best of luck.

    Why can't we export to DVD ?
    Am afraid I don't quite understand your question since we can export and create/author DVDs. If you are asking why iMovie does not do so directly, then yes there is a problem of technology involved. QT is basically a "temporal" synchronization multimedia "engine" while DVDs are based on "spatial" compression and synchronization. Therefore, a different "engine" is required for processing the data -- Compressor alone for advanced compression and DVDSP for advanced authoring or a combined simple compression and authoring application like iDVD. If you are asking if it is possible to combine the capabilities of iMovie and iDVD into a single application, then I suppose it would be possible but probably violate the standing policy of Apple's normal "KISS" (Keep it Simple, Stupid) approach of doing things and likely create a whole new level of problems to add to the current ones already present.

  • Im making a photo slide show using imovie. how will i make a dvd copy that can play in both pc and dvd player.  i dont have an idvd anymore. m using a mbp early 2011 osx 10.8.5

    after making the photo slide show, i clicked share>export movie.  after which i burned using toast. the file became a .mov.  i tried playing it in my mac and it worked. my fear now is will it also play in a regular dvd?... i read from google that mov files won't run in dvd players.  what format should i convert it to so it'll play in a dvd player.  can you suggest a faster way i can burn my projects for it takes me almost an hour to export.  im going to make 28 slideshows for my kids in school. *=( if i need to do this process 28 times, i may not be able to finish it on time.  please suggest a software or an alternative as to how i should do this... m more comfortable using imovie than iphoto.  thanks and i hope to hear from someone soon *=j

    Thank you QuickTimeKirk...used toast to burn project... my project was in .mov, i tried to play it a dvd player, it did play... will try again tomorrow using another dvd player just to be sure it'll will really work with dvd players.  thank you again for your reply *=)

  • Iphoto slideshow exported to Windows format

    How can a slideshow produced in Iphoto be exported to windows vista format.
    I have been able to produce the slideshow in IDVD which can be played on a dvd player, but I need to produce the slideshow so it can be read on a windows pc
    Can anyone help me please
    Cheers

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Can't the Vista computer play the DVD?
    Another possibility is if you have Quicktime Pro. You can export the movie to Windows Media format and Vista should be able to read that.

  • Slideshow Export Quailty

    Hi all,
    I'm currently working on a Movie Project in I DVD and planned to add a slideshow additional to the Project which I had created in I Photo already.
    Since there is no direct way to add existing slideshows from I Photo to a I DVD Project as it seems, which was already a quite negative surpise, that this programs are not compatible for that and creating a new one with I DVD is not an option since I would loose the whole template, I've tried to Export the slideshow first to get a movie which I could use for I DVD than.
    And here comes the next problem.
    After exporting the slideshow with the highest possible quality (Display), which took me already quite some time, I've tried to watch it in I Tunes and had to find out that it just looks totally ****. The whole video is pixled and far away from an acceptable option to see you're photos in a nice way.
    Is the anything I could have missed before exporting which resulted in the poor quality?
    Or is there any other way to get the slideshow directly into I DVD without exporting it and creating an awful movie?
    Thanks for your feedback in advance.
    Cheers
    Michael

    Hi,
    Thanks for the quick response, I have I Photo 11 version 9.1.5 and in fact your solution worked fine for me.
    Obviously I was looking at it from the other way around and always try to get the slideshow from I DVD imported which I couldn't manage, but sometimes you obviously you just have to turn things around. :-)
    Anyhow thanks for your help.
    It's good to know where you can find an expert if you get stucked or stand just simple in front of a wall where you need somebody telling you just to look on the other side. ;-)
    Cheers

  • How can I properly export video w/ bars to Rec709 (16-235 in 8-bit) from Premiere's RGB (0-255)?

    I have hit some real frustrations in working with Premiere to meet broadcast Rec709 standards for DVD & Blu-Ray. Avid Symphony works in a Rec709 space and clearly operates with its video signal from 16-235 (which matches IRE 7.5 to 100), but Premiere doesn't seem to have this understanding in its programming and engineering. Here are my issues:
    1) I can't manually enter in the digital values in the RGB Curve tool's points. Why would Premiere's engineers lock this basic feature out? It's in Photoshop.
    2) I can't properly export Premiere's color bars. In order to export to Rec709 standards, to get around issue #1, I hack into the RGB Curves preset XML file to lift the Master Curve's point 1 from 0 to 16 and set the final white point from 255 to 235. If I use Premiere's bars, on the waveform, I can see the sub-black values, but when I lift the blacks with the curves preset, it clips all sub-black values upon export. WHY?! To get around this problem, I import bars generated by a camera (for example, by a Sony EX-350, i.e. XDCAM footage). All of this wouldn't be an issue if there were an export function that specifies exporting to rec709's 16-235 values instead of 0-255, as Avid does.
    3) Particularly, the Waveform scope lies to me. The 7.5 IRE setup button does NOTHING for me, it's just a preview option that causes more confusion than clarity. Does Premiere map 0 out of 0-255 as 0 IRE or 7.5 IRE? I think it does the former and just uses that setup button to make you think that it's at 7.5. so if you do set it to 7.5, how then do you export it to match that option? Also, why can't the waveform scope have multiple options for the units - not just IRE, but also digital values (8-bit, 10-bit, linearized, etc.)?!
    4) Speaking of importing the bars and footage. To continue the example of the Sony EX-350 - it imports the bars automatically by putting the black values at 0 IRE, not 7.5 IRE.
    If Adobe wants industry professionals to take Premiere seriously, it needs to open up these options and clearly present what happens to tonal values in the image. It's very frustrating to figure out all of these problems and create cockamamy work-arounds.

    Steve,
    Thanks for your reply! However, I hope you don't take my response the wrong way, but, with no meaning of disrespect to you personally, the notion that curves are the wrong tool for numeric adjustments extremely infuriates me and displays a real lack of understanding of why a colorist or cinematographer such as myself would want to use curves in the first place.
    First, any LUT generation program or coloring program, such as Apple Color, gives complete access to numerical control to give precise, repeatable changes that you cannot get with the drag of a mouse. Photoshop, Avid Symphony, etc. all have curves tools with the ability to manually enter points.
    Second, on a user level, there should be no wrong tool for numeric adjustments, especially curves - they are the most precise means to obtain a specific contrast response. Levels or RGB corrector will only give gamma, pedestal, and gain operations, but curves gives every possible shape of a contrast response in between. If I wanted to create a very specific S-curve, I must use the curves tool to do so.
    Third, the question at hand is not Premiere Pro's ability to process natively in Rec709 with signal from 16-235 - Premiere's native ability to process all types of video input is the sole reason why I've switched to it as a platform. 'Sub-black values are not necessarily clamped'?! How then can I export a TIFF, for example, of Premiere's bars, with the sub-black values left intact? How do I even access these sub-black values, when all footage clips below 0 IRE? The primary question is, how does Premiere handle and export these IRE values with respect to digital values, whether they are 8-bit, 10-bit, 12-bit, etc.?
    Adobe's video workflow lacks a concise, cohesive FAQ or explanation of its numerical signal chain. At least, I have missed it and can't find it anywhere. If I want to properly color grade footage with a proper final output in mind, I need to know my end goals to take the proper intermediary steps.

    To what?    Are you having trouble with a DVD made by a particular device, or a hard disk that was on a particular computer, or is still in that computer, and communicating to your computer?  We don't have enough details to answer the question.    Are you trying to get photos into an iPhoto certain version, Photoshop certain version, just the Finder of a  certain version, or specific operating system on your Mac?    We need more details.  Is the DVD a standard DVD, such as is indicated on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2446 or something non-standard?

    This is supposed to happen, licensing issue mean that Apple can't AirPlay protected content to other devices. You might try VLC instead of Apples built in DVD player.
