Can I burn a project without sound?

I'm trying to burn a DVD without the sound from my videos, but I didn't understand
the help section. It said to drag the audio icon so it would delete into a puff of smoke,
but I can't get it to drag.
Thanks,
Paul

I think I figured it out. I was trying to drag the wrong volume icon (I think).

How can I burn a dvd without themes?

how can I burn a dvd without themes?

(From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results. That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option. Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
Hope this helps!

Can I burn a slideshow without music?

I created a simple slideshow in iPhoto, and it doesn't contain music (my choice). Now I want to use iDVD to burn it, but I can't seem to find a way to burn it without there being music attached. Is there a way to burn this project without a soundtrack?
My workaround is to import the .mov generated from iPhoto into Final Cut, render it, and export it for iDVD -- but is there an easier way? It's a pretty lengthy slideshow (~30 minutes), and my Mac is more than capable of doing it, but I feel like there just has to be a different way.
TIA.

we read reports a while ago, that projects without any audio could force iDVD to behave odd (=endless encoding/freeze....)
the workaorund for that was, to create a 'silent' audio clip...
use any audio app (Garageband, Audacity, ....) to create 30secs of 'nil' ... silence, zero, nada...
use this .aiff to underlay your slideshow...

You need to use iDVD.
You can buy here.

Can't burn a project to blu-ray using FCPX

I just completed an extensive project on FCPX and can't seem to burn it to an external blu-ray drive (sony VBD-MA1). The project was recorded in AVCHD from my sony camera. The iMac recognizes the blu-ray and it gets about half way through the processing before it gets stuck on 48% completed. Am I missing a step? Do I need additional software to be able to burn the project? The guy at the apple store said I could burn a project straight to a blu-ray without addtional software. Any advice would be appreciated.

Sorry I was mistaken and thinking of my last project that was edited on FCP6 but burned with iDVD.
In DVD Studio Pro you would have to Burn then .img the disc.
In iDVD you can Save As Disc Image. It sounds like this function is in FCPX from Ryan Scott's post and just confirmed in the Online manual:
http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.0/#ver1ff8b381
Depending on the length of your project, disc being used and what size (1/2 layer) could also cause a problem. Only general sticking points I can come across would be corrupt data (clip/song/font) that is hit at a certain point of the project.

I can't burn a project from iMovie to a dvd why?

my mac didn't have idvd untill i instaled it but when i try to burn a project from imovie, the dvd doesn't work on any other computer what can i do?

What are you using to burn the movie to DVD? If you are using Finder, it will not work on other DVD players (not sure about other computers). In order to work anywhere, you need a dedicated video burn/authoring application such as iDVD, Roxio Toast, Burn, or many others you find by googling.
Oops - I missed the fact that you said you installed iDVD? So did you use that or Finder?

Can't burn a DVD without Administrator Rights

Hi,
We don't allow our users to run with administrator rights on our domain. If we take away the admin rights, they can't burn a DVD, but if I do a RunAs Administrator on Premiere Elements, they can. How can I run P.E. without admin rights so they can burn a DVD? We are running Windows XP SP3, 32bit mode. Thanks.

Aside from Hunt's idea of writing the output to a folder and using the free Imgburn to write to a disc (have you tried that?) you have just run up against one of the design limitations of all flavors of Premiere... Elements and the various versions of Premiere Pro
The products are simply not DESIGNED to run in a network environment... they are meant to be used by one user on one computer, with full rights to be able to use all functions
I don't know what to suggest, but you may need to find a different product, if Hunt's suggestion does not work for you
Do note that I do NOT work for Adobe... but I've been reading these forums for many years, and the answers I've seen have all been the same... the products just are not designed to, and do not work in a network environment
Even using PPro/Encore CS5, due to Win7 settings, whereI am the owner and only user of the software, I must right click the Encore icon and select Run as Administrator when I want to create a dual layer DVD... but not when I'm creating a single layer DVD
For your situation... I've never seen a solution other than full Administrator rights to use all program functions

Can't burn iDVD project

Hello,
I created a set of movies in iMovie and then created a project in iDVD (v7.0.4).
I imported the movies that play just fine when you click on the buttons in iDVD.
I checked and there are no errors in the hierarchical view and am ready to burn the project to a DVD.
I clicked the round DVD button and it requested that I insert a DVD. I inserted a DVD and it started to burn the project. After about 4 minutes (after it burns the drop zone pictures and begins to burn the movies), I get a dialog box saying "You inserted a blank DVD. Choose and action from the pop-up menu or click ignore." I've tried numerous options but continue to get this dialog box.
At the same time the above message appears another message appears in iDVD which says "Error during rendering/encoding."
I have found no error icons when viewing the project in hierarchical view. I have tried restarting my Mac. What could be going wrong?
Please help. Thank you!

Please disregard this post, I solved the problem. Basically, I just created a brand new project in iDVD and re-imported all the movies. I don't know what problem there was in the earlier version but it's been resolved.

Can't burn multiple projects to DVD

I imported photos into iPhoto, then separated the photos into three different albums, each with a different name. I then worked on each individual album of photos in iDVD, creating slideshows, giving each slideshow a different Theme and audio (songs) from iTunes. Everything is working fine so far.
I then burned the first slideshow onto a DVD. When I attempted to burn the second slideshow onto the same DVD, it would not work.
I then saved each slideshow as a disk image and attempted to burn them with the disk utility. Again, I can burn the first slideshow but not the second and third to the same DVD.
I then attempted to drag the three .img files onto the icon of the DVD and it seemed to be working, however, I eventually got an error message. At this point I opened the .img files and dragged the Audio_TS and Video_TS files (from all three projects) onto the DVD icon. It appeared to burn to the DVD, but when I placed the DVD into my DVD player, only the first project burned.
I am gathering from other posts on this site that it is possible to burn multiple slideshows with audio onto a DVD but I certainly haven't figured out how to do it.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and how I can burn multiple slideshows with audio, originating from iDVD, onto one DVD. Any help would be most appreciated.
Power Mac G-4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Excellent progress -- you wondered about multiple themes, and although I haven't done that recently, you are be able to create a submenu with the Folder icon; once you're on the submenu, just set a new theme and it should just change the menu you're working on.
from iPhoto via QuickTime to iDVD, this process does not allow adding captions to the photos in iDVd...is my assumption correct.
-- Correct, you'll have to add captions in iPhoto (has a basic titling feature), in Quicktime Pro, or use the extensive text features in software like Photoshop/Elements (add it to a copy of the photo and then reimport to iPhoto). It's a bit of work, but you can create a nice effect of the title fading out with this latter option (if you want your slide to have a five sec duration, use the titled photo for 3 sec then the original slide for 2 seconds -- then use the cross-dissolve transition).
Deleting iPhoto pictures will not affect the QT movie if you've made it self-contained (typical setting), and iDVD will be unaffected as well.
I'm not aware of any restriction on iPhoto transitions that would require a new video card -- the rendering will take longer on slower processors -- what are your symptoms (perhaps post it separately for others to weigh in?)?.

HT1103 How can I burn a slideshow (with sound) to a DVD. I have an imac desktop.

Does anyone know how to burn a slideshow to a dvd disc. It has pictures, video and music. LLaBant

To create a video DVD disk that can be played in set top DVD players and shown on a TV set you need a DVD video authoring application, like iDVD. If you do not have iDVD on your Mac you'll have to purchse it by bying a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com.
Why iLife 09 and not 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.
1 - once you have iDVD installed export the slideshow out of iPhoto at Size = Medium or Large:
2 - 0pen iDVD, select your theme and drag the exported movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
3 - follow this workflow to help ensure 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 and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was 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.

Need Help ASAP!! Can't burn my project on Premiere 4.0 to PC or DVD!!

I have been working on this project for so long! Its a compilation of videos and photos and music. Its only 11 minutes long. I had a horrible time creating it because the program shut down every other minute, but I did finish it. As I attempted to burn it to the computer or to a DVD, it wouldn't allow me to. So I have been trying to save it to my computer just so I can open it up in another DVD burning program, but as its burning to the computer, it only gets to about 10% and then says there is a transcoding error. Also if I try to save it another way to the computer as an MPEG, its says there isn't video support and it is shutting down. Can someone help?!!! I tried calling support and they said the only talk to people if you are using the latest version and I have to depend on these forums for help. This is for work and I need it done in less than a week.

Gaps can be very small, and almost impossible to actually see.
First, I zoom in on the Timeline, to the Frame-level, and step through the Timeline, or play it, looking for a flash of black.
Next, I will hit Home, to get to the beginning of the Timeline, and then use the PageUP/PageDN keys to step through, Clip by Clip. I watch the CTI (Current Time Indicator w/ the red Edit Line) carefully. It should smoothly jump from Clip to Clip. With a tiny gap, say 1 Frame, the CTI will "hiccup," or "bounce." That is where the Gap is. How one fixes it will depend on where the gap is, and what one wants. Say that it's between two stills, I would then drag the Head of one, or the Tail of the other, to fill that gap. If it's between Video Clips, other choices might work best.
PrE has a "Close Gaps" function, but if one has Audio that covers that gap, it will not work.
One trick, that can get you to Transcoding is to add Transparent Video. Drag that to Video Track above all of your existing Video Clips, and extend it to "cover" the entire Timeline. The limitation of this method is that if there is a gap, there will be a black flash in the Video. If only 1 Frame, that might go undetected.
Usually, when one gets the ":Failure to Return Frame," there is a % of the Timeline, also listed. One can do the math to locate that on the Timeline. As PrE does a two-pass Transcode, then 100% of the Transcode is through two passes. The full Duration of the Timeline is at 50%, as that is the end of the first pass. That can be a bit confusing, as a glitch at 75% would mean that half-way through the second pass, there was an issue detected. Usually, if there is a glitch, it will be discovered in the first pass.
Good luck,
Hunt

Can't burn any project anymore

When I hit the "Burn"-button, this text appears:
"The current state of the project does not comply with the CDDA format.
Please check the following and try again.
Each track must be at least 4 seconds long.
A CD track can consist of up to 98 index points.
The time between two index points must be at least 1 second long."
I have never seen this before, and it appears in all my project all of a sudden.
Anyone?

Hey Xkitten,
The tips in this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302976 may resolve the issue.

Can't burn imovie project to DVD

I am using my sony video camcorder to import to imovie. That was a success and I was able to export the video to iDVD, but it will not let me burn to a DVD. It says that the file is too large to record on a single layer disc and i need to insert a double layer disc. How is it not able to burn when a DVD can record 120 minutes, and mine is 1 hour and 55 minutes? I tried to save as disk image so I could burn it on toast, but it wont let me do that either.

First off, in the preference setting, you have to change from the default setting of Best Performance (60 minutes max) to Best Quality (120 minutes max) to allow the full two hour time span for an iDVD project.
Second, that 120 minutes includes everything, iDVD menus, music, motion, slideshows, etc. not just the movie itself. So with a movie that is 115 minutes long, you only have 5 minutes for menu and iDVD slide shows and stuff like that. Drop in a few menus each with a 2-minute song and you easily blow past the 120 minute mark.

How can I burn a dvd without using iDVD?

It doesn't come with new macs anymore. I want to burn an iMovie i made, but my new mac didn't come with iDVD. I asked someone at an apple store and they told me that they weren't making it anymore. I need to burn something and make a menu, but I don't know how?!?!?! I need help!

Make a couple of phone calls.
iDVD is a “Must Have".   (Yes, it should be included.)
Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge.
800-692-7753
800-275-2273
Most people report that by asking here:   http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
or here:   http://www.apple.com/contact/
they got a free copy of iDVD.
If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 on disk (don't get the download) for about $39.

Can't burn DSP project on new Macbook Pro

Bought a new Macbook Pro, 2.53 GHz Intel Core Duo w/4 gigs of memory as a backup to my old G5. I open an FCP project created on my power mac G5. It opens normally. I export via Compressor which goes as planned. I author a DVD is DSP 4. It plays fine in simulation mode. When I burn the DVD there are loads of blackouts, most chapters have no audio, and the dvd players will even stall and lock up. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Frank.

Using DVD SP 4 (4.1.2, 2005-2007). Output from FCP (5.1.4) via Compressor using DVD Best Quality, 4x3, 120 min, 2.5 Mbps 2 pass. Burned with DVD SP4. Simulation mode in DVD SP works fine. Burned disc has trbl in all dvd players as well as the Mac DVD players in my Macbook and my Power PC G5 (2004). I just opened same project on my G5, burned, and that disc works on all players.
I'm assuming my DVD SP4 is a non-UB version.
Thanks, Frank
