Can I use an iDVD menu theme w/ toast 7.0 video content?

Hi:
I am fairly new to making DVD’s. I recently had some super-8 movies converted to iDV format. I imported the footage into iMovie and was able to align an existing soundtrack and get everything exactly the way I wanted it. When I converted the movie to a best-quality QuickTime movie, it looked great too! However, when I tried to burn a DVD on iDVD with this same QuickTime file (not using the 'Share' button), the movie came out very pixilated during scenes with any motion whatsoever.
However, using toast 7.0, a dvd I made looked quite excellent in comparison, using the same QuickTime file.
My question: would it be possible to use the nice-looking toast 7.0 conversion of the video file in iDVD so I can use one of the themes I like in iDVD? What I would like is one of the older iDVD themes where the menu has a projector showing some clips on a screen.
I am wondering if this would somehow be possible by burning a disc image and swapping the video data. I appreciated any response from a knowledgeable source. I suppose I could just use the toast program without the theme I like as a worst-case scenario.
Thanks!,

What I always do is first edit the movie as you do in iMovie. Then pass it to iDVD to add the menus etc. Then I always press 'save as a disc image' which puts a rendered file on your desk top. Then when ever I want to put that film on to DVD I just drag that image into Toast and that puts a copy on DVD. I'm not sure why you need at any time to convert to quicktime.
ps. - 'Save as disc image' is under file in iDVD.
I think this is what you are looking for. Sorry if I have mis-understood the question.

    Can I use standard RF Menu LM00 for perfomring IM goods movement in IM Managed facility (No WM at all).

    Hello Milind,
    LM00 is standard GUI based transaction so I think you can use it, but you need to change the menu settings i.e. you need to replace all WM transaction with your IM related developed transactions.
    Hope this helps.

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • My current carrier is T-Mobile.  Can I use the iPhone with them?

    My current carrier is T-Mobile.  I'd like to buy an iPhone.  Can I use T-Mobile with the iPhone?

    There is a great deal of confusion about the contract-free T-Mobile iPhone 6.  Even some Apple support insist it is NOT an unlocked iPhone and must be activated on the T-Mobile network and used for at least 40 days before T-Mobile will unlock it.  So you would be better off not going that way at this time.
    In addition, an iPhone purchased in the US will not have a warranty or support from Apple outside the US.  The iPhone has to be sent back to someone in the US to represent you in dealing with Apple if there are problems with it.

    I don't know what that size column shows for folders, but it's certainly not the size of the contents of the folder. How can I display this list, but with the sizes of the entire contents of each folder, including all of its subfolders?
    Basically, I need the Terminal equivalent of opening my Home folder in Finder, Clicking Show View Options, clicking Calculate All Sizes, and then sorting the Size column descending.
    Thanks for any help you can give!

  • IDVD Menu Themes

    the themes with iDVD are really quite limited with what you can do. They are fine templates, but I would like to create my own. the best one for me is the transparent black as I often use black backgrounds. But, I would like to be able to get rid of the black band across the bottom for when I actually have pictures for the menu rather than the black I typically use. anybody have any ideas? I have tried all the other themes and they all have drop zones or other transparent bandings that I don't want. Are there other themes I can download now which may resolve this issue?
    thanks in advance!!

    That's it from Apple.

  • What can I use instead iDVD on Mavericks?

    Is the any reliable tool to burn DVD or BlueRays on Mavericks?

    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 retailier 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.
    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 qualty 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.

  • IDVD Menu / Theme not working on TV

    Hi, Have been burning DVD from iDVD but when used on DVD player (not comp) the menu does not come up first and I cannot navigate to it; but I can play the iPhoto slideshow movie on the DVD player and the menu is there when played on Mac? I have tried on a new (ish) Philips DVD Player / Recorder and an older (non-region) Panasonic DVD player. What am I doing wrong!? Any ideas? Thanks.

    I'd like to steer you away from TDK and Memorex. They have bad track records here, and my friend will never use TDK again.
    I hate to keep "harping" on this, but Verbatim has been my most reliable. They even make a special grade for medical records:

  • What is maximum length .mov file that can be used in iDVD?

    Hello Appleheads
    I created an HD .mov file in iMovie which I had added as a movie in iDVD - I find this works best for me, as exporting directly to iDVD from iMovie always results in stuttering when played back on a regular DVD player.
    The .mov file is 2 hours and 14 minutes long, and 10.5GB
    Am I right in thinking that the maximum length is 1 hour and 39 minutes? And does the size (GBs) have any bearing.
    Many thanks - Brion

    Hi Brion
    Gbs or Mbs - doesn't play any role what so ever.
    Time does - Time is = Movie duration + MENU DURATION
    (a complex menu can easily take 15 minutes or even more)
    iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (vers 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
       iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
    • Best Performances (movies + menus  less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    About double on DL DVDs.

  • Format bpt needs conversion to mpeg-2 so it can be used in idvd, any suggestions ? Also, it has been stated that some Mac OX'S need a download to read bot format. I have Mountain Lion 8.5

    I have downloaded "Photo Theater Slideshow Movie Maker" from Apple. The format is if bpt, this is not recognized by idvd. the program does alllow a DVD to be created, but only one (1) To use idvd, several movies can be put on a DVD. Therefore, I need to get this bpt format converted to mpeg-2.   Any suggestions ? I have "Prsim" & "iskysoft", neither of these converters recognize the bpt format. 

    Export your Photo Theater project to .mov, which is QuickTime.  The PhotoTheater documentation indicates it can export to multiple formats, including .mov.  Import the resulting .mov file into iDVD.
    iDVD, Toast and similar DVD authoring tools are normally what encode video to MPEG-2, which is the codec used on playable DVDs.

  • My status bar won't pull down and I can't use the search/menu buttons at the top of sony/stock apps

    Hi. I recently bought a Sony XPERIA SP and have been using it for a week. Yesterday I turned on my phone to download an app and the search/menu buttons at the top of the screen in the play store wouldn't work. I tried using the buttons that appear at the top in Walkman, Album, and Messaging, and they didn't work either. I then received a text and swiped down on my notification bar a few times but that wouldn't work either. Weirdly, the notification bar will only pull down in landscape mode. Help please?

    It's quite easy for me to answer this question, your phone is water damaged. I used to have Sony Xperia Z and which was water damaged too, I couldn't pull down the notification/illumination bar. The water entered through your speaker at the top which happened to me. It's quite notable that you'll have to spend like half of the price of your phone to fix this issue...but I have something easy round for you. You should place that phone in a polythene bag for 3 days minimum with full of dried rice and every path ways that water can enter should be opened up. 'Cause mostly water damaged phones are fixed by rice because rice s-u-cks every water out of your phone. Note: Now I'm SP user. Had to sell that old phone after fixing the issue.  Hit Kudo if I helped you.
