Can't put movie into iDVD

Hi, i was trying to add a video clip that is about 30 seconds long into my iDVD project.
So I hit the + button and selected "add movie". A box appeared saying "add movie here". So i double clicked and on the right hand side in the Media> Movies box, nothing appeared. The "movies" box was highlighted under iphoto. So i went into iphoto to make sure that the video clip was in there. It was. But it wasn't showing up. So then I went to Finder>All Movies> and there it was. I opened it up and it opened with Quicktime.
So does anyone know why I am not able to add this clip to my project?
Thanks so much

Hi
How about finding Your movie icon and just drop this into iDVD.
iDVD can't handle all various types of movie file formats so I would try
to get it into iMovie first then drop this movie icon into iDVD.

  • HT2729 how do i get the old itunes back as i can not put movies into itunes now that i have loaded the new itunes

    i used to hold down alt whilst draging the movie into the menu at the left side of itunes now that menu is no longer there

    the movie file now shows up in home videos within the movie folder so all my movies are in the movie file in itunes except the new ones now go into movie/home video itunes since i updated itunes
    As implied above, if you do not use a metadata tagging utility and share or import your files directly to iTunes the new files are automatically tagged as "Home Videos" during the import process but you can still use iTunes to make them appear in the same directory as your other movies just as you always could chage their display directory. Simply...
    1) select the "Movies/Home Videos" tab in the main window,
    2) select any/all of the videos you want moved,
    3) select the "File/Get Info" menu option (or press "Command-I") to open the "Information" window,
    4) select the "Options" tab in the "Information" window
    5) Select the "Movie" option in the "Video Kind" pop-up, and
    6) Press the "OK" button to move all items selected in step #2 above to your "Movie" directory and close the "Information" window.
    If you use a metadata tagging utility to add tags to your videos before import to iTunes, then pre-assign the "Movie" Media Kind tag to your files before import to iTunes. If you use a metadata tagging utility to tag files after import to iTunes, then manually set the "Movie" Media Kind option in that app and let it update the iTunes "Movie" directory. If the metadata tagging utility has not yet been updated to recognized files pre-assigned to the "Home Videos" directory, then manually tag the Media Kind in iTunes as described above before using the metadata tagging utility. If you don't like having iTunes automatically assign the "Home Videos" tag to untagged videos during import, then use the iTunes Product Feedback form to request an iTunes "Preference" enhancement option be added to the application allowing users to select a default "Media Kind" to be assigned to "untagged" video files during import.

  • How can I put movie into my new ipod video ??

    I would like to know how I can put a movie (dvd) into my ipod video ??

    Commercial or home made?
    If you mean commercial-we aren't allowed to tell you, it violates terms of service.
    Home made-you will need to convert the mpeg2 files into mpeg4 files that comply with the iPod accepted format.

  • Can't put iMovie into iDVD

    Using iMac G5, iMovie HD and iDVD 5.0.1.
    I'm trying to put four iMovies onto my iDVD menu screen. Three move over just fine, via the Customize screen and the Movies folder.
    One iMovie does not appear in the Movies folder in the Customize screen, although it is actually in the Movies folder on the hard drive.
    When I try to File > Import it, nothing happens.
    When I try to drag the iMovie from the hard drive to the menu screen, I get a message that says Your last action was not supported by iDVD.
    There must be something different about this iMovie file.
    It has a sound track from iTunes that I put in twice - back to back. I tried deleting one track. Still no luck.
    I tried saving it again under a different name. No luck.
    Help! I'm so close to finishing this project! Thank you.

    I solved the problem! I recreated the entire bad iMovie and saved it under another name and this one works. Hallelujah!

  • Can't Put Movie into my iTunes Libarary or iPod Video(5g)

    I recently converted a video to mp4 using ImTOO DVD to iPod Converter. It's in the mp4 format and should be perfect to be put into iTunes. Well when I try sticking it in there it says that it can't be played on my iPod or something like that. How can I get it in there?

    Okay... I did this last night. I ran the converting thing in iTunes. I woke up in the morning to find out it was 1/3 finished. I pressed the "x" and it jumped to three fourths then cancelled. Is there anyway to speed this up. Because I ran it from 10 to 7. 9 hours seems like a bit much.

  • How to get FCE movie into iDVD?

    Hi Folks!
    I have a movie that I created in FCE and would like to burn it onto a DVD. When I open iDVD, I don't seem to have access to the movie file that I created. iDVD looks for the file inside iLife. Is there a way I can put the FCE movie into iLife, or is there another way I can burn a DVD from my FCE file?
    Thanks very much!
    Vixter

    iDVD looks in your /Movies folder (not 'inside iLife' as you mentioned).
    When you export your movie from FCE, save it to your /Movies folder. Then it will show up in the iDVD Media pane, under the Movies folder.
    You can also import your movie into iDVD by doing *File > Import > Video* or by dragging the movie (from wherever it is saved on your hard drive) onto the _iDVD main window_ or a _drop zone_ in an iDVD template. Don't try to drop it into the iDVD Media pane - that won't work.

  • FCE movie into iDVD?

    Can a FCE movie be exported as a Quick Time movie into iDVD08? How?
    When I try to put the QTmovie into iDVD the following message appears:
    "The movie could not br opened."
    "The file is not a movie file."

    I am not able to get a movie into iDVD. Here is my procedure, which is the same as stated on pages 1015 and 1016 in the FCE user manual:
    1) I open the FCE timeline of my 26 minute video.
    2) I go to File > Export > Quick Time Movie.
    3) In the window that opens, I name the movie, specify a location (FC Exp projects folder) and check "Make Movie Self Contained". Then click Save
    4) After exporting completes, I find in the FCE projects folder TWO QTicons of my movie labeled av.mov1, av.mov 2, and a thumbnail showing the first frame of my FCE video.
    5) In a iDVD page that I have prepared, with completed drop zones, I go to Project > Add Movie which puts a box with the words "Add Movie" on the iDVD page.
    6) When I drag either of the two QT files listed above in 4) from the FCE projects folder onto the iDVD page they will not stay, but rather jump back to the FCE projects folder.
    7) However, when I drag the thumbnail of the first frame of my video onto the iDVD page it remains. However, this is a FCE file, not a QT file of my movie, and does not support converting my iDVD file into an image for later burning.

  • Importing a movie (mov) into iDVD 16.9

    I have been attempting to import a movie (mov) into iDVD. The movie is 16.9 aspect ratio and every time I import it into iDVD it defaults tp 4.3 even though I set it in the beginning within iDVD at 16.9.
    Can someone help me

    Hi
    There are in two places You need to set 16x9
    • First when You Create a new project
    • Then under Project Info (top row menu)
    This can jump back to 4x3 if You select to use such a theme - then just go up and change it back again
    SAVE AS A DISKIMAGE
    Test this first - to see that all plays as You want it
    Then first burn Your DVD

  • Quicktime movies into iDVD

    When I drag my movies into iDVD, it shows the names of the files on the main screen. How do I do away with all the names.
    And how can I get the movie to play through without stoping after each one.
    I'm using 8 little quicktime movies of my son.

    Hi David,
    Welcome to the Discussion.
    If you have QuickTime Pro, you can concatenate them one after another to form a long QT movie, and then import this to iDVD. If you don't have QT Pro, you can also use iMovie to import and chain these movies together into one iMovie project, and then use this iMovie project in iDVD.

  • Help Please ::: Quicktime .mov into iDVD 5 playback or encode problem issue

    Originally Imageready files burned into Quicktime. Importing Quicktime .mov into iDVD results in project which looked great in preview, but after burning images were elongated, flattened. I am stumped, especially given preview results would indicate no such problems but unsure where to analyze on the DVD burn end to check. Any tips on what/where to check? Have tried re-importing original ImageReady (Photoshop) files into new Quicktime .mov (original project was done on OS 9 fyi). But no change in results.. any help greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for the feedback. I wasn't privy to the process that converted these files originally but suspected the theory on compression/codec initially used.. may re-convert. Also will try Disk Imaging... seems that this is not an uncommon problem in the iDVD 5 world...
    regards, Senor Peaches

  • Importing a movie into iDVD from FCE

    I am perplexed. In the iDVD - Movies display, there are shown half a dozen movies. The other couple of dozen movie files which do appear in Finder - Movies are not listed in iDVD. Nor will the movies in Finder-Movies drag over to iDVD. I clicked on the yellow triangle which appears in the "insert movie" box in the theme, clicked 'import' and it told me iDVD does not support that action. So how do I get a movie from Finder-Movies into iDVD? I did not have this trouble with iMovie.
    This is my first completed FCE movie. And things were going so well.

    To import movies into iDVD you may use the File/Import/Video... command, after selecting the theme you want to use for the DVD menu.
    If a movie in the Import dialog window cannot be imported, probably it has a non standard format, and for sure it was not exported from FCE. Any movie exported from FCE with Export/Quicktime Movie (the only correct method to get a movie from FCE to iDVD) may be imported into iDVD.
    So I suggest you review the procedure you used to export from FCE and try again.

  • Can you download movies into iTunes then watch them via airplay without an internet connection?  We want to be able to watch them in our RV that does have an internet connection always.

    Can you download movies into iTunes and watch them via airplay without an internet connection?  We want to be able to watch downloaded movies in our RV.

    If you want to watch on your iPad screen, you don't even need airplay.
    If you want to watch on a television screen, you need an AppleTV.
    In both cases...
    If the movies are purchased, there is no need for an Internet connection to the outside world.  If they're rented, you need an Internet connection for the first minute or so that Apple knows that you're watching the movie.  I do not know if a rented movie can be stopped and restarted without an Internet connection.
