Can you author a DVD with surround audio using FCE?

Or is this only possible via DVD Studio Pro (which is only available in FC Pro)?
Just a newbie looking the most cost effective options . . . My apologies for the possibly silly question.
Cheers.

Good work Karsten. Once again, I'm impressed at your handywork ....
I do own an iPod Touch but frankly I haven't had the opportunity to use it to it's fullest in terms of Airtunes, and the like.
However, here's what I did do recently to burn music to a dvd-r using Roxio Toast / to add menus and about 600 songs on one SL Dvd-R. I added a plain stock menu which allows me to choose songs individually. That and I prefer having the actual disc / hard copy (old fashion I guess) which contains the actual music as opposed to setting up a hard drive or computer to stream music. Out of personal preference only, I enjoy having an actual disc (be it CD or DVD). And this is the procedure I follow for a music dvd using Roxio Toast.

  • Can you export a Quicktime with multiple audio tracks?

    I have a video with split audio tracks.
    I'd like to archive a copy that retains all the individual tracks so that other people could just open the file later and not have to reconstruct the tracks (i could certainly archive all the tracks individually).
    the problem i'm having is that FCP seems to only want to allow me to export 2 tracks of audio. I may be missing a setting, but i'm not sure.
    I can digitize a clip from a digibeta with 4+ tracks, and when i open the clip in QT, it recognizes the individual tracks, so it seems as if the capabilities are there.
    have they just not been integrated yet?

    Something is being miscounted here. You say you have dialog on 1+2 and then say you have M&E on 2+3? I think you meant to say 3+4 and the stereo mix will be on 5+6. The easiest way to do this is to copy tracks 1-4 to tracks 5-8 by shift-option-dragging them there. Holding option will copy the tracks instead of moving them and holding shift will insure that the tracks will not move earlier or later. Then send 5+6 (dialog) to the 5+6 output (using the info in the above referenced discussion) and send 7+8 (music&effects) also to the 5+6 output. Done.

  • How can i author a DVD with multiple timelines so that "previous chapter" actually works?

    I am trying to burn a DVD with multiple short films. i used a timeline for each film and a playlist for the "play all" button that includes all timelines. Problem is when you press previous chapter it only takes you to the beginning of the current film youre watching, no amount of double or triple clicking back will work. How do I get around this?

    To mix the footage, you should be able to go back to PrPro, and create a 16:9 Sequence. Bring the 4:3 material into that, allowing the black bars to exist, and then Export that 16:9 Sequence as 16:9, for Import into En. You will have the pillarboxing with that 4:3 material, but that is what you want, correct?
    Good luck,

  • Can you create a DVD with quicktime to be watched on a TV's DVD Player?

    Basic question before I buy quicktimepro for a iMac. I want to export slideshows I've created via iphoto for folks to watch on their DVD connected to a TV. What format is that and does quicktimepro export to that format?
    Thanks!

    Beat you by a minute.
    Nearly any QuickTime format (not playback only or third party) can be converted by iDVD.

    Can you publish to iPhone with iBooks Author?

    No, sorry.
    iBooks Author creates a hybrid epub that works on iPad only.
    Use Pages, InDesign, etc. to generate a standard epub that will work on both iPhone and iPad if that is your goal.

  • Can I make a DVD with multiple slide shows?

    I am making a project for my son's school. Each classroom (7 or 8 rooms) has their own photo show that I am making. The school wants me to put all of the photoshows on one DVD and separate classrooms into different titles, so families can skip to their child's classroom. So, in theory, I would have one DVD and about 7 or 8 chapters on it. Each chapter would be a different photo show. Can this be done? Is there a tutorial that would be able to help me with this? I have made a photo show and have burned it onto a DVD, but I haven't done anything that requires separate headers/titles. Thoughts? Tia.

    Here's a few useful tips when preparing the slideshow/s for an iDvd ...
    First suggestion is not to exceed 6 buttons per menu (although some themes allow for up to 12 buttons per menu).
    Secondly, don't exceed 99 images per slideshow if the objective is to present the slideshow on a typical set top dvd player or TV. Disregard this rule if you will use your mac / computer to present the dvd slideshow. Here's why:
    iDVD '08: After 99 images in a slideshow, set-top DVD player will reset to chapter 1
    In iDVD '08, your slideshows are no longer limited to 99 images. You can now have up to 9,801 images in a slideshow. When you are playing a slideshow on your DVD player, it will number the slides (which are chapters) from 1 to 99 and then start numbering over again at number 1 (on the one-hundredth slide). This is normal and not something you can control when you author your DVD. It is a specification that applies to all DVD players.
    Related documents
    Article 302962: Slideshow audio playback drops out after 99 images
    Thirdly, the following are articles to be aware of when making a slideshow/s with iDvd:
    Preparing images for iDVD slideshows
    You can use photos, movies, presentation slides (created in a program such as Keynote), or other image files in a slideshow created in iDVD. iDVD works with any image file that is supported by QuickTime (including PICT, JPEG, TIFF, and PDF.) You can also use photos directly from your iPhoto library.
    Images and movies in a slideshow are scaled to fit the standard DVD window size, but the aspect ratio is preserved. For example, a picture taken vertically (also known as “portrait format”) may have black bands on either side of it to fill out the screen. If you want an image to fit the DVD window exactly, use an image-editing application to resize the image before bringing it into iDVD. (It is not possible to resize movies.) Resize to these dimensions:
    ◼
    720 x 540 pixels for standard video in NTSC format
    ◼
    854 x 480 pixels for widescreen in NTSC format
    ◼
    768 x 576 pixels for standard video in PAL format
    ◼
    1024 x 576 pixels for widescreen in PAL format
    You can also make sure images in iDVD are always scaled to a size that will fit within the area visible on most TV screens, or the “TV safe area.”
    o fit slides into the TV safe area:
    Choose iDVD > Preferences.
    Click Slideshow.
    Select the checkbox labeled “Always scale slides to TV Safe Area.”
    Adding menus to an iDVD project
    Depending on which theme you choose, the menus in your iDVD project can hold either 6 or 12 buttons. If you need more buttons on a menu than your theme allows, or if you need additional menus to organize the content of your DVD, you can create submenus.
    Submenus give you flexibility in organizing your DVD. For example, perhaps you have several slideshows in your project. You can create a button on your main menu that links to a slideshow submenu that includes links to each of your slideshows. You can also create submenus for additional movies, extra features, and so on.
    To add a submenu:
    Make sure the menu to which you want to add a submenu is showing in the iDVD window.
    Click the Add button (shown below), and choose Add Submenu from the pop-up menu.
    A placeholder button labeled My Submenu appears on the menu. It has the default button style for the theme, so you may need to change it to match other buttons on the menu.
    Click the placeholder label for the new button once to highlight it, and type a new name for the button.
    When you click the label to highlight it, a light blue background appears behind the text.
    Using the pop-up menus in the in-place control that appears (shown below), change the typeface, font style, and font size of the button name if you want.
    To open the new submenu, double-click the newly added button. Notice that iDVD automatically applies the Extras menu style from your project’s theme to the submenu. Also, a Back button that returns to the previous menu appears on the submenu. You can now edit this menu just as you edit any other menu, changing its theme if you want. You can even use the Add button to create buttons that navigate to sub-submenus.
    For more information about creating submenus, see Related Topics below.
    And lastly, keep in mind you can also use iPhoto (as well as third party apps) for making a slideshow/s for use within iDvd.
    Using iPhoto slideshows in iDVD
    You can easily create slideshows in iDVD using images or albums from your iPhoto library.
    You can also add slideshows created in iPhoto to your iDVD project. These slideshows are imported into iDVD as movies, which retain the effects and sounds you created in iPhoto. As a result, you can’t edit or change these slideshows in iDVD, and viewers can’t manually click through the slideshow using the DVD player remote control.
    To import an iPhoto slideshow:
    Make sure the DVD menu from which you want to access the slideshow is open in the iDVD window.
    For example, if you want the slideshow to be accessible from the main menu of the DVD, the main menu should be showing in the iDVD window.
    Open iPhoto and select a slideshow.
    Choose Share > “Send to iDVD.”
    After several minutes, a button for the slideshow appears on the menu. The button has the same name as the slideshow.
    The slideshow also appears in the Movies section of the Media pane, so you can use it in other iDVD projects as well.
    You can change the name of the button by clicking the button twice to highlight the text and typing a new name.
    If iDVD is not open when you send your iPhoto slideshow to iDVD, iDVD opens to a new project automatically when iPhoto finishes processing the slideshow. A DVD menu, with a default theme, is displayed in the iDVD window, and it has a button for the iPhoto slideshow. In this case, if you want to add the sideshow to an existing iDVD project instead, choose File > Open, click Don’t Save, and then choose an existing project. When the project is open, you can click the Media button, then Movies, and drag the slideshow to any menu.
    If your version of iPhoto does not support exporting directly to iDVD, you must export the slideshow from iPhoto as a QuickTime movie, and then import the QuickTime movie into your iDVD project.

  • How to burn a DVD with two audio track?

    There is a projet with the original video and a second audio track with music. I want to burn a DVD with both audio tracks. When playing the DVD you should be able to select audio track 1 (the original sound) or audio track 2 (the music). With Adobe Encore DVD it was easy to configure the two audio tracks and burn the DVD. It is posible to do the same from Adobe Premier Elements 11?
    Thanks,
    Jordi

    Welcome to the forum.
    Unfortunately, PrE does not allow for supplemental Audio Tracks, when authoring.
    I use Adobe Encore for this, but it is only available bundled with Premiere Pro. I do not know if some other, third party, full-featured authoring apps., like Sony's DVD Architect can do that, but I would suspect that they can. The specifications for DVD Architect should have that information, and as it's quite common in full-featured authoring apps., I anticipate that it has that capability.
    If you do go with that program, our MOD, Steve Grisetti, has written a very good book on DVD Architect, and it's available at Muvipix.com.
    Good luck,

  • Will iDVD burn a dvd with surround sound?

    I have a quicktime movie with surround sound I'd like to burn to a DVD. Will iDVD burn this and keep the surround intact?
    If not, will the latest Toast do this?
    If not, are there any other OSX apps that will burn a dvd with surround, preferably a cheap one? I know DVDSP will do it, but that's overkill for burning one disc.
    Power Mac G5 quad 2.5 and Mini duo 1.66   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Hey don't get me wrong, dolby digital surround is way
    better than ProLogic, but give the dudes credit that
    came up with ProLogic in the pre-dolby digital days
    some credit, it is "true" surround.
    Sure, it is surround, but it's not the same as having four separate channels. There are limitations to what you can encode, and you can end up with unintended issues on both stereo and surround material. It was a cool invention that was a big improvement on stereo, but it just isn't the same as actually having the channels. It just isn't "four true distinct signals" - it simply can't reproduce everything four true distinct signals can.
    I should have said I need actual discrete channels.

  • How can you install the DVD or CD Sharing Setup software?

    How can you install the DVD or CD Sharing Setup software for a computer running MAC OSX 10.4.11 if you do not have a MacBook Air?

    You'll find the software you're looking for here:

    However, say for example you install this on your iMac G4 or Windows XP PC (you'll need to get the link for that one yourself), are you planning to try to share the drive with an iBook or other non-MacBook Air computer? If this is your case, I'm not shure if it can be done with that software. I'll need to get back to you on that one.

  • Can I burn a DVD with Leopard?

    I just purchased a new MacPro and it should arrive in about 2 weeks. A simple question. Can I burn a DVD using the OS or do I need a seperate software package to do this?
    I haven't used a MAC in about 20 years so I am a "newbie".

    You can burn a data DVD with Leopard's Finder:

    or Disk Utility:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8729.html
    and the Mac Pro also ships with iDVD which supports up to 2 hours on a 4.7 GB DVD, and over 3 hours on an 8.4 GB Dual Layer DVD.
    Since I'm not as familiar with iDVD, you may want to post your question here if you plan on using it:

    Other movie DVD software made by third parties offer additional capabilities.

  • Can you get an Apple ID for corporate use to associate with more than 10 devices?

    Can you get an Apple ID for corporate use to associate with more than 10 devices?

    I don't believe you can. The usual model for iOS app distribution is for each device to have a unique Apple ID and for apps to be acquired separately, either via codes from the Volume Purchase Program or individual purchase through the iTunes Store. The licensing from the iTunes Store doesn't allow an app to be installed on more than one device unless all the devices are being used by a single person, so you legally cannot install one app on multiple corporate devices in the circumstances most businesses use.
