Can I make iDVD slideshow go backwards?

In my first test DVD, I created a quick slideshow and opted for manual advance. I used the rotating cube transition. No music.
In iDVD in preview mode, I can make the slides either advance or return to the previous slide, depending on whether I press the --> arrow or the <-- arrow on the on-screen controller.
The finished DVD will not, however, allow me to go backwards on any of the DVD players in the house (including my Macs using DVD Player). Pressing the back arrow simply takes me back to the transition into the current slide, with the result that it continues to show the current slide.
Is there any way to do what I'm trying to do?
My only thought is to opt for no transition, but I'd prefer to keep that.

Yes. Just go to Map View once you launch iDvd and simply drag and drop the QT movie presentation / slideshow to the first / top box and then select the loop function within iDvd. This will allow the dvd to play in Kiosk mode. For example:
click here
click on the "i" shown in blue above, dialog box appears, and place a check mark in the upper box.
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

  • Can you make still slideshow timing to match audio length like in IDVD?

    Hello group,
    I have been asked to make a slideshow with a bunch of still shots (50-60) and have some requested songs to add. In IDVD, you can choose "fit to audio" which changes all the clip lengths exactly to fit the audio clips. I cannot figure out an easy way to do this, when I add the audio clips, they only appear up to the end of the currently added photo so I can't tell visually where I am. Seems like this should be easier to do as in IDVD.
    Any advice greatly appreciated, I have Imovie 8.0.5 "Imovie '09"
    John

    I may be confused, but the Fit to Audio feature is in iPhoto for Slide Shows. If you wanted to make a DVD of this you could still make your slide show in iPhoto and "Share" -> "send it to iDVD", or you could export the slideshow (Export button lower right corner of slideshow window) to the media browser and that will show up when you navigate through iDVD's Media Browser.

  • How can I make a slideshow with music and burn it to a disk?

    I need to make a photo slideshow with music and burn it to a disk. I am able to make the slideshow but I cant figure out how to save it or burn it to a disk.

    How do you want to play the slideshow?  On another computer or on a TV set?
    If it's the former export the slideshow as a QT movie file to the desktop and burn that file to a disk with the Finder.
    If you want to create a video DVD of the slideshow so that it can be viewed on a TV set, use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option.  That will export the slideshow into iDVD where you can complete the menu and project design.
    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 and you can then burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • How can I make a slideshow of animated slides in Edge?

    I've watched Paul Trani's great tutorial on making an interactive slideshow of images in which people can click through the images (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teYOHY5bGyk) and I've made a nice slideshow.
    But I now want to make a slideshow just like that but use animated Edge compositions instead of JPEGs or PNGs for the slides that will play when that slide appears . . . does anyone know how to do this?
    Thank you so much for your help!

    Erin, most of Pauls tutorial demonstrations ave source files available for download.
    For that particular slideshow demo, it is here http://paultrani.com/2013/07/how-to-create-a-slideshow-in-edge-animate/

  • How can i make a slideshow to use in muse where each slide has its own hyperlink

    I want to make a slideshow to use in muse where each slide has its own hyperlink to another page in the site.
    example here: Genesis Bicycles - Easton PA
    I see how slideshows can be made in muse, but haven't seen where you can assign a hyperlink to each image. 
    I would like it to be html5 compatible.
    Thanks ,
    mark

    Hey Mac, thanks for the feedback. I did some research on composition widget, still not finding how I can use that to make a slide show like the one on www.Genesisbicycles.com home page , could you elaborate on how to or maybe link a tutorial for me.  It would be a big help.

  • Can I make a slideshow in Logic?

    I know I'm missing something but can Logic Pro X make a slideshow?  I only see import movie option. I guess it can't "make" a movie from single pictures.
    Thanks

    LPX cannot make slidewhows..
    For that use something like iPhoto (Basic slideshow capabilities) or Fotomagico4 (Advanced slideshow capabilities..)

    (In both cases with a soundtrack created in LPX and bounced out to a single audio file)

  • How can I make a slideshow in iPhoto into a video on an iPad 3?

    Been trying to find a way to make a slideshow in iPhoto into a video. Is there a way to do this?

    You can avoid the Ken Burns effect, but it would be a lot of work:
    See:  http://help.apple.com/imovie/ipad/2.0/index.html#knac3eec39c6
    If you don’t want the Ken Burns effect applied to a photo, set the image position and zoom level to be the same for the start and end points.
    Adjust the movement of photos with the Ken Burns effect
    iMovie applies the Ken Burns effect to the photos you add to your project. With this effect, the camera appears to sweep across and zoom in on the photo. If there are people in the photo, iMovie uses face detection to keep faces within the viewing area.
    You can adjust the Ken Burns effect so that the motion starts and ends on the parts of the image you specify.
    In the timeline, tap the photo you want to adjust.The Ken Burns effect controls appear in the lower-right corner of the image in the viewer.
    To set the way the photo is framed at the beginning, tap the Start button .
    Pinch to zoom in or out, then drag the image in the viewer to frame it the way you want.
    To set the way the photo is framed at the end, tap the End button .
    Pinch to zoom in or out, then drag the image in the viewer to frame it the way you want.
    To close the controls, tap the Ken Burns Effect button , or tap outside of the clip.
    If you don’t want the Ken Burns effect applied to a photo, set the image position and zoom level to be the same for the start and end points.

  • Can i make a slideshow in iPhoto to play in a dvd player with out going to iDVD

    I need to have a slide show to play in the funeral parlor dvd player,
    Can I do that right out of iPhoto? with out haveing to learn iDVD or iMovie
    I have experimented exporting into iTunes, then putting it into iDVD but it seems like redundancy. There is a depth to iDVD that i really don't need/want if I don't have to go there.
    The slideshow is the way I like it in iPHOTO, music, ect.
    Before I get in over my head with applicatons I am unfamiliar with i thought I would ask the community.
    OH, an if so, HOW DO I DO IT!!!
    OH also, time is of the essence, today is Friday, Wednesday is the funeral
    thanx

    follow up:
    then there is this one
    You can put up to 2 hours of playing time on an iDVD video DVD.  Create the slideshow in iPhoto with an aspect ratio of 4:3 (iDVD) and export it at Size = Medium or Large. This will create a Quicktime movie file.
    Open iDVD, create a project and select a theme.  Drag the exported Quicktime movie file into the iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones. (???)
    Follow this workflowin iDVD to help ensure the best quality final product:
    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.

  • In scene selection mode, can you make iDVD return to the scene selection menu after playing that scene without continuing to play all the other scenes?

    After selecting one scene from the scene selection menu, the following scenes play automatically, as if it were in "play movie" mode. Is there a way to stop that behavior and have the DVD return to the scene selection menu after playing just the selected scene?

    OK
    So what You want is a "Play All" button resp. a "Play one Chapter at a time" one.
    Then
    BAD News - There are Non ! in iDVD
    GOOD News - it can in part be faked.
    read on
    Play all resp. one chapter at a time
    Play All Button 
    1. There are NO - Play All - button in any version of iDVD
    2. It can be faked in several ways
    • Easiest and most fault proof way is to make a doublet movie containing All and with
    Chapters set to match. It will take up x2 space but is easy to understand and produce.
    Cons: Tried this in iMovie’11 by Exporting out each part as a full Quality QT.mov then Importing back into new events and putting these into a new project (Play All project). Resulting DVD had Audio that was OK (as parts) - BUT the picture was very bad and standing photo were cut of in height. So the Play All movie has to be created from same material and exactly in the same way as the individual parts + then Chapters has to be set to match.
    • It's said that one can put all movies into a Photo/SlideShow and this will also
    give the function of a Play All button - Tested - and ONE HAS TO un-cheque - Scale pictures to TV-Safe area else it will be a black frame all around and a small picture !
    Mike Evangelist1
    You might be able to get close to what you want by using a slideshow in iDVD. (It's not widely known, but you can put videos in a slideshow.) If you set the slide duration to manual, playback will pause after each movie/slide, and you can continue with the 'next' button.
    3. Using another program to do this e.g.. Roxio Toast™ where there is a Play All button option.
    Summary
    a. Making a Play All movie with same care as the individual Part movies - gives a very Good Result
    b. Using Roxio Toast™ - also an usable way to go

  • How can I make iDVD with a H264(.mp4) video file???

    I've got two files which is in .mp4 format, I tried to edited it in iMOVIES but it came up with only audio no video. So then I tried to put that two .mp4 video directly into iDVD, but it also didn't work. There is no problem when I try to view .mp4 file in quicktime player.
    So if I have to changed the format to .avi , which software would be best?? I want to keep the quality of the original files but I have heard so many times that after changing the file format, the quality may not be the same as before.
    Please, masters, help............

    OK, here are the results of my experimenting:
    ffmpegX wasn't happy making the conversion and froze. I didn't try 'playing' with it to make it work. I guess I can't recommend this approached for you.
    I DID have success creating a DVD from your file using Roxio's Toast Titanium 7 (you must have version 7 to do this).
    It was a slow process - your 0:03:46 clip required abount an hour on my 1.33 G4 PowerBook. The process might have been slightly slowed because in addition from going from MPG-4 to MPG-2 (and converting the audio), it was also converting from PAL to NTSC (the source video is 25 fps).
    In my opinion, the results looked pretty poor when viewed on a TV. About what I'd expect starting with a small (662x384 pixel), highly compressed MPG-4 image file.
    Stick to viewing them on your computer with the VLC Media Player. You'll be a lot happier.

  • How can I make my slideshow in iPOD shuffle correctly in a random sequence?

    When I choose the shuffle option for photos on my iPOD, it won't randomize all photos. (I have about 1,200 pics uploaded to my iPOD.) iPOD only shuffles the first few when viewed in the slideshow mode, it won't randomize from the entire directory. This is fairly frustrating, as I have removed and readded these pics several times to try and correct the problem with the same results. I have adjusted the slideshow options in everyway that I could think of, with the same results. I updated my iPOD with the lastest version of iTUNES and now i have gone back to the original version, but still the same result. Can someone help me? Please?

    just try the following:
    jsp.getVerticalScrollbar().setValue(0);after inserting and adding all your components. this will set the vertical scrollbar up to the very first line.
