Converting iPhoto slideshow to DVD/movie

I made a slideshow in iPhoto with about 150 pictures. It had 2 songs attached to it to play while shpwing the pictures. I want to put it on a DVD to give to friends. When I go to share with iMovie and iDVD it transfers but the music is not attached....just the slide show. What am I doing wrong...Thanks in advance.

I don't know....it says purchased acc audio file. So I think it is....what can I do??

Converting iPhoto slideshow to DVD

I have created a slideshow in iPhoto consisting of appproximatly 150 images. I have used the ability to set the display time for each image to coordinate the images with the audio. Playing the resulting slideshow in iPhoto is great. I want to convert this slideshow to a DVD. Using the "Send to iDVD" option, the slideshow is first converted to a QuickTime .mov file and then automatically imported to a iDVD project, which is a nice feature. The problem is that during the conversion to QuickTime, the images and audio become 'out of sync'. Specifically the images progress slightly faster in QuickTime than in iPhoto. The slideshow, for my purposes, becomes degraded because of this anomaly. I am using the latest versions of iPhoto and QuickTime as of this writing (07/29/06).
Is there a way to compensate for QuickTime changing the display times of the images? If not, are there third party software applications (Adobe?) that can take an iPhoto slideshow and convert to DVD without having to go through QuickTime?

Convert iphoto slide show to mov format?

hello, I just want to ask that, can I convert iphoto slide show into mov format??? I tried to select all pics, and export them as a mov, but the problem is, in the iphoto slide show, the pics can be moved and fit the screen size, but when I i export it, the pics just set in the middle , no any effect.

1. Select the photos you want to use, and click on the +. In the window that appears, select slideshow, and give your project a title.
2. Choose your transitions and music.
3. Go to File>Export; this will create a QuickTime movie- a .mov file.
4. For information on playback, read this section from QuickTime Player Help.
_Viewing Movies at Full Screen_
You can set the screen so that only the movie is visible, not the QuickTime Player window, desktop, or other windows. This presentation setting is called "full-screen mode." (You can also set a movie to play at half size, double size, or other sizes.)
To play a movie at full screen, do one of the following:
Choose View > Full Screen.
Choose View > Present Movie, choose Full Screen, and click Play.
To quit full-screen mode, press Esc. To adjust the way the picture is sized to fit your screen, such as stretched to fit or in letterbox format, move the pointer to the top of the screen to display the QuickTime Player menu options, and then choose a setting from the View menu. The following additional options are available in full-screen mode:
Fit to Screen: The content is scaled to fill your screen as fully as possible without cropping the movie or changing the aspect ratio.
Zoom: The content is scaled and cropped to completely fill your screen in at least one dimension. This can eliminate black areas on the top (letterboxing) or side (pillarboxing) but may hide or distort the content.
Panoramic: The content is scaled to fit your screen and the outer horizontal edges compressed to avoid cropping the image.
You can also cycle through all of the available full-screen options by clicking the button in the movie controls that appear when you move the pointer.
You can also set options for all movies playing at full screen. For example, you can hide the movie controls or change the amount of time they're displayed before being hidden. To set these options, see QuickTime Player preferences.
Note: As long as "Display full-screen controls" is selected in QuickTime Player Preferences, you can make hidden controls appear by moving the pointer.
I hope this helps.

How do you burn an iPhoto slideshow onto dvd?

I am trying to burn an iPhoto slideshow onto DVD - any tips? Thanks!

If you want to create a video DVD that will play on a set top DVD player to your TV read the following:
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
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 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, 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.
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 retailer 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.

How do you burn iphoto slideshow to DVD?

How do you burn iPhoto slideshow to DVD? I exported to Quick Time & burned as movie but won't play on DVD player.

If you want it to play on a domestic DVD player then the disk must be created in iDVD. The format of such a disk is quite specific and iDVD is the app the makes these formats.
So, Share -> Send to iDVD

Putting an iPhoto slideshow on DVD with Toast

Hello
I have a LaCie DVD burner, bought from the Apple shop in London with Toast Titanium 6. I want to save an iPhoto slideshow to DVD. Problem is, every time I try to drag a song from the Finder to Toast, I get the message that I do not have a valid Jam license.
Can anyone please explain this to me? I am wondering if the Apple shop may have sold me the wrong product for my iBook!
Thanks...

PS. I can now get both slide-show and music on the DVD but can't play them simulteneously.
Thanks to anyone who can advise..

Converting a Slideshow to a movie

I recently made a slideshow in Encore and now I would like to convert the slideshow into a movie that I can download to a picture/video sharing site.
Is there a way to convert a slideshow into a movie?
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Jeff

Jeff,
What version of Encore are you using? That might allow for other options.
One method would be to Delete anything but the SlideShow, set that to Play First and do a Save_As, renaming the Project. You could then Build to Folder, and change the file extension of the resultant VOB to MPEG. You should not need to rip that, as there is no real navigation, and no Menus.
If you have a later version, you could Build to a Flash Project, and probably use that.
Good luck,
Hunt

Transferring iPhoto slideshow to DVD

I have some slide shows (about 150 jpegs, each about 4.4 mb) that I'd like to transfer to DVD. On the iPhoto slide show they display a very high quality resolution, and show for about 1 second before the next one. I want to maintain that level of quality and speed.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
ez

EZ:
Are you using the Ken Burns effect? If not I've found I get better image quality by creating the slideshow in iDVD instead of exporting from iPhoto. You will have to add music with a playing time to get the 1 second timing for each slide. so for 1 second on time for each slide you may have to set the music to be twice 150 seconds. I just ran a test with 50 slides and the dissolve transition and adding a track of 90 seconds gives me about 1 second on screen for each slide.
Exporting the slideshow from iPhoto creates a Quicktime movie file first and imports that. As I said, IMO the final image quality is not as good as creating from stills in iDVD. Also be sure to use top quality media (Verbatim-R is the unanimous choice of the iDVD gurus in the iDVD forum) and burn at the slowest speed possible, not more than 4X. Also do not burn the disk directly from iDVD but do a File->Save as Disk Image first so you can play the disk image with iDVD Player to confirm the encoding (and as I need to do - look for typos). You can then burn the disk image with Disk Utility.
The transition chosen makes that a little more difficult. Also you may experience a pause at slide 100 as each slide is a separate chapter in iDVD and they are renumbered back to 1 after every 99 slides.
All images, whether video from iPhoto or slides get resized to 640 x 480 for playing on TV. There's no other way around it.
NOTE: using more that 99 slides in a slideshow created in iDVD will result in a pause at slide 100. This is due to the fact that the DVD standard for chapters is 99 but iDVD 7 has allowed more than 99 slides/chapters by renaming slide 100 to 1 and going from there. If you use good media and burn very slowly there will only be a brief pause, similar to that in commercial movie DVDs when it switched from layer 1 to layer 2 as it plays. Some DVD players may have greater problems with that transition, particularly if poorer media and higher burn speeds are used.
You can ask this same question in the iDVD forum to get their perspective on it.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Burn a iPhoto slideshow to dvd

I can't figure out how to burn an iPhoto slideshow to a dvd. I created the slideshow and clicked on "export", the popup shows the different sizes, and a checked box that says "automatically to iTunes". From iTunes, I'm told to right click to burn the dvd. But I'm not seeing any options to burn cd

Export the slideshow from iPhoto, that makes a movie of it.
Do you want to use this DVD in a domestic DVD player? If so, then the disk will have to be 'authored' to make it the correct form for that. If you have iDVD then that's the app you use. However, iDVD is no longer developed or distributed by Apple. You may be able to get it on an old iLIfe install disk.
Other options:
Burn: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/21992/burn
Toast: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/6351/toast-titanium
But there are lots of others too. Search on the App Store or MacUpdate

I'm trying to burn a Iphoto slideshow to DVD but the "burn" in the menu isn't active?

I'm trying to burn a slideshow to a DVD but it isn't hightlighted in the menu? Any ideas. Also, is there a way to put captions under a photo that show up in the slide show?
Thanks,
Michael Quinn

To burn a Slideshow you DVD for viewing on a domestic DVD player you need to use an app that with author the disk to the correct format.
Macs used come with iDVD for this purpose - accessed by going Share -> iDVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have this then you need to get such an app, then export the slideshow from iPhoto. This will make a movie of it, then add it to your DVD project.

Has anyone used an app with the Maverick software to burn iPhoto slideshows to DVD disks that will play on any DVD player?

Has anyone used an app with the new Maverick software to burn iphoto slide shows to DVDs that will play on a standard DVD player? This probably cannot be a demo app in that the amout of photos on the slideshows is large.
Thank you,
Jim

Convert PowerPoint to a DVD movie

Hi everyone,
Does anyone have any advice on converting a PowerPoint presentation into a DVD movie? I am trying to do so using the program "Burn" but all the pictures are blurry on the completed video. I tried burning at the slowest possible speed but the pictures are still blurry. Help please?!
Thanks,

Keynote does work to open ppt. To import a PowerPoint file:
1.
Choose File > Open.
2.
In the Open dialog, locate the document you want to import and click Open.
I have already tried this myself with good results using the following workflow:
ppt => keynote => iM HD => iDvd'08
Yes, you can export from Keynote as a QT file.
And again most of the time they will also work in iDvd. But at times there are issues. Audio being one of them.
Click Here
I have found that the audio doesn't always carry across on all files to iDvd.
Here's what I found regarding this issue in apple's KB as well as Keynote's Help menu:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300963
Movies or sounds aren't playing, or they are playing badly
When you add a media file to a slideshow, the file does not automatically become part of the Keynote document. This feature keeps your document from becoming very large.
You can add media files to your slideshow when you save it, so that, for example, you can transfer the slideshow to another computer without transferring the media files separately.
To save a media file as part of your Keynote document:
1.
Choose File > Save As.
2.
If you don't see the Advanced Options at the bottom of the Save dialog, click the disclosure triangle to the right of the Save As field.
3.
Select "Copy audio and movies into document."
Tip: If movies, sounds, or animations aren't playing well during a presentation, try turning off the presenter display.
Hope this helps but if not come on back.

Iphoto slideshow to dvd

How do I create a DVD from an iphoto slideshow?

First you need a DVD authoring application like iDVD. Since you have a MacBook Air iDVD didn't come preinstalled. Therefore you'll need to purcahse a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com. Why 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.
Next export the slideshow out of iPhoto via the Export button at the bottom
and choose Size = Medium or Large
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.

IPhoto slideshow on DVD is a mess!

I am trying to create a slideshow on DVD for a client. His business is a small newspaper. For an upcoming tradeshow, he wants to have a large display with a slideshow of each page of the paper scrolling across the screen, flipping to the next page, etc. I figured iPhoto would be an excellent tool to do it without much labor, using the Ken Burns effect to pan the full length of each page. It works perfectly on my Mac display and looks great.
Even the exported video looks OK when I preview it in iDVD.
However, once it goes to DVD, the visual quality is worthless. I expected serious degradation of text quality since it is only 720 pixels wide. The text isn't as sharp, but it is readable.
The big problem is that as it scrolls, it looks like the the images pass behind a grid of prisms that refract everything. The disruptive lines are about 1/4 inch apart, so the whole TV screen is a mess, it's impossible to watch. At first I thought it may be an issue with the scan rate of the TV, but the same thing happens when I play the DVD back on my notebook PC and my Mac.
I set the iDVD preview window and the DVD Player window side by side and played them together. The iDVD preview was fine, the DVD player window gives me a headache.
What can be causing this, and is there any way to change a setting in iPhoto or iDVD to prevent it?

What resolution are you using for the slides? I have done several DVDs with slide shows as an option (training DVDs) and it's always worked well. I am using PNG and JPEG files with at least 150dpi resolution. I've even used Contrictor to snap screen shots of some PDF files with good results. I am using a 17" screen so again, I'm getting as much resolution as I can before I stick them into the DVD slide show.
