How to burn an iPhoto slide show to a DVD

is it possible to burn an iPhoto slide show to a dvd ?

Sure:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/9.0/en/phtf677be44.html
I use the advanced settings and export in DV format, 640x480.
Save the exported slideshow in your "movies" folder.
Start up iDVD and you can see this slideshow in your media.

I am attempting to convert 8mm video cassettes to dvd using a video cassette player, elgato video capture with rca/usb connections to the mac, editing in imovie and burning on idvd. The picture quality is awful. What can I do?????

I am attempting to convert 8mm video cassettes to dvd using a video cassette player, elgato video capture with rca/usb connections to the mac then editing in imovie and burning dvd-r using idvd. The picture quality is awful. What can I do??????

At what point is the video quality bad? Is it bad on capture? I would recommend using an s-video 1394 firewire converter instead. They capture the video at a higher bit rate. If you have a lot of 8mm tapes to capture, invest in a stand alone DVD recorder. They capture and compress in one shot. If you need to rip it back from the DVD into iMovie again, I would recommend using DVDxDV.

HT2801 how to burn slide show too a dvd-r in web supedrive plugged into my macbook pro?

how to burn slide show too a dvd-r in web superdrive plugged into the usb port

I think this link will offer some good insight. I would recommend moving the library to an external HD if you are already using iPhoto on your MBP. If you do decide to move the library directly to your MBP just make sure you are using a different enough name for it that your MBP can easily locate each library independently.

How do you convert audio to ac3 in DVD SP 4 without a.pack

how do you convert audio to ac3 in DVD SP 4 without a.pack
thanks
Josh

NO. If you let DVDSP make your encoding you'll get uncompressed audio (AIFF/PCM) what means most probably high bitrate issues during building/playback and a lot of the space of your disc.

Converting slide backgrounds within Cap 6?

I am using Captivate 6 in a way that is not what I'd call optimal, but necessary due to the way we're structuring a certain project. In short, I'm taking multiple smaller Caps (some recorded in earlier versions) and grouping them in one 'master' file. It's working fine for the most part, but the file sizes are ballooning severely.
These are 1010x659 screen captures for the most part, and Cap 6 is converting each to a 2.6MB / 1.3MB bitmap. They compress well enough in the output, but working with the raw file becomes very chuggy (as one might expect from half-a-gigabyte-and-climbing files). I can open a Cap 4 file that's 2MB in Cap 6, Select Unused Items and delete them, and the end result is often a 70MB+ Cap 6 .cptx.
Is there a Cap6 setting I'm missing to convert slide backgrounds from .bmp to another format _within Captivate_? I know about the SWF Size and Quality preferences for the output, but those don't seem to affect the innards of the file.

Word of caution don't install third party "app cleaner" programs as they're known to cause more problems than they fix.
I understand your caution but you are confusing system cleaning junkware (the likes of the horrendous Clean my Mac) with an application removal tool.
Junkware are unnecessary software that does nothing to improve system performance, the whole object of such software is to obtain money from unsuspecting users.
The two Application Removal Tools I mentioned are well respected and effective application removal tools, they are not system cleaning junkware.
Dragging an app to the trash to uninstall is sufficient
No it is not, the application must be completely removed fro the Mac, just deleting Keynote from the applications folder does not remove other support files that must be removed for the resetting procedure to work. These support files are not by removed by deleting the application alone.
If not contact AppleCare for a more comprehensive removal of other supporting files.
If you follow my suggested procedure this will properly reset Keynote. From the hundreds of posts in this discussion referencing contacting Apple Care, unfortunately they do not have the skills to advise users on Keynote problems.

Does anyone know a good converter from quicktime movies to dvd format?

Does anyone know a good converter from quicktime movies to dvd format?

I'm guessing that your using One Step DVD . This will only work with one movie at a time.
Create a new project and all you should have to do is drag your movies from your movie folder onto your iDVD project. You can add as many movies as you like but obviously you can't exceed the maximum total DVD size.
Encoding can take a long time depending on the original file format, but you should be able to use pretty much any file format you can play with Quicktime.

How to convert slide shows from Video CD to DVD format

I have a number of Adobe Photoshop Elements slide shows in the Video CD format. Since many DVD players (especially blue-ray) do not accomodate the Video CD format........... I would like to convert them to DVD. This will not improve the resolution but will take care of my problem. I do have Adobe 9.0 Photoshop and Premier Elements. Suggestions appreciated.

Even though Photoshop Elements gives you the option of burning a CD or
DVD.........in reality I don't think you can do a DVD unless you have Photoshop
Premier.

Barbara, I am having the same problem. I still can't burn DVD of a

How can 35MM Slides be transfered to DVD?

I have 100's of slides that need to be transfered to DVD's, &/or iDVD, &/or iPhoto.... A transfer device is available for PC's but is there an affordable transfer device for Mac users???

I have an Epson 4180 flatbed scanner which will copy my 35 mm slides 4 at a time. It takes about a minute a slide. The software that came with the scanner imports the pictures to the mac in JPG form. I then import in into I-photo. I had about 4000 slides collected over 50 years and there are a 1000 in my I-photo library. This software will also scan the slide and convert it to PDF which is handy for copying and sending correspondence or whatever in E-mail.

Slide show output to DVD

As a surprise for my wife, I am trying to create a slide show of our wedding photographs on DVD. However, having created the slide show in PSE6 and saved it as a 'wmv' file, I have not been able to output it to a DVD. I have managed to output it to a VCD, but the quality is extremely poor.
I would be extremely grateful to anyone who could explain to me how I go forward from here. I should perhaps add that the DVD writer I purchased for this purpose came with Nero 7 Essentials, although whilst this has an option to burn videos to DVD, it does not seem to recognise my slide show file. Is there an economic solution?

>Is there an economic solution?
I'm new to slide shows, too, and just got my first DVD burner which included Nero 7 Essentials and I purchased the DVD burner plugin.
I don't know about PE6 but the wmv output from PE3 when converted to MPG-2 in Nero Vision SE 4.9.7.6 is not much better than my earlier attempts with VCDs. If you want to try it you should be able to get the wmv accepted in Vision by selecting "Make DVD/DVD Video" and then on the "Content" screen selecting "Add video files". Have you applied the update to Nero 7 Essentials? I don't remember if this worked before I did that.
I've been able to get near commercial DVD quality by using Nero Vision to produce the slide show using the following steps:
1. Since my target TV is widescreen I use PE Editor to crop the pictures selecting the best view in 16:9 ratio.
2. Resize the canvas to 107 percent with a black fill to eliminate the effects of the TV's overscan so I get exactly what I want. (The percentage took some trial and error.)
3. To speed up the process of adding pictures to the slide show in the sequence I want in Vision create a sequenced Collection in Organizer and export renaming to a temp folder.
4. In Vision go to "Make Slide Show/DVD-Video"
5. Browse for media/Browse and add to project.
6. Add preferred Transitions
7. Optionally Browse to a music track and add it (also created in Nero Essentials from a commercial CD.)
8. Click Next.
9. Select "Make Slide Show". (When making a slide show the option to "Create Chapters" is not available.)
10. Right Click "Title 1" and rename appropriately.
11. Click Next and Rename "My Disc" if so desired.
12. Click Next and Next again.
13. Click the "More" button and set up "Video Options". I use NTSC and for DVD-Video: High Quality, Progressive, High-Quality (2-pass VBR).
14. If you do not want to produce Chapters to allow "Scene Selection"
Burn to your DVD burner. If you want Chapters "Write to Hard disc folder". (First time through I'd just burn a test DVD and see how you like it.) If later you want to create Chapters:
a. Open Vision.
b. Select "Make DVD/DVD Video" and then on the "Content" screen select "Add video files", open the previous "Write to Hard disc folder". This time Create chapters will be available and you can go through that and burn to DVD.
Sorry for such a long post but since you are trying to build a surprise for your wife the results of my trial and error may short cut the process.
I'm unhappy with the music option in Vision. So far as I can see you're basically stuck with whatever length and level is in the track or tracks you choose.
Good luck.
Bob

How can I burn a slide show to a dvd?

I have tried, every way, possible to burn a slide show with music to a dvd and I did so successfully except that it will only play in a play station 3 unit and not correctly play on any computer or dvd player. I have tried several ways:
-Creating it as an image saving it to my desktop and burning it from disk utilities
-Creating it in iDVD and burning it that way
I AM using a DVD-R
So, again it will play in the playstation but not on dvd players
WHAT CAN I DO??
When I burned it using the whole image thing & disc utilities, it burned the slide show correctly but NO music. I would really appreciate your help

Sorry, was trying to get all of these.
Have a look at these for help:

How can I convert a home movie on dvd(vob file) to edit on imovie?

I had home movies converted to a dvd- the files are vob. Now I want to edit the movies in imovie.
I am having a difficult time converting from vob straight to mov files.
I purchased Quick Time Pro thinking that could do it, but I haven't been able to.
Also, it just says QuickTime Player Version 7.6.4 (518.35) on my computer.
Is it supposed to say QuickTIme Pro?
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

The "Pro" option just unlocks a lot of features in QuickTime Player. If you look at the registration info, it will show if you have Pro installed.
For converting DVD's you have two options; hardware or software.
The hardware option involves connecting a DVD player's analog outputs to a qualified "DV device" (DV camcorder, VTR or converter) then connecting the DV device's Firewire port to your Mac to capture the footage.
The software option involves using an application like DVDxDV or MPEG Streamclip to convert the DVD's VOB files into an editable format that works natively with your chosen NLE.

16:9 export converts to 4:3 in DVD Creator

Please help! I've run out of options.
I have created a 1-hour home video using the latest version of Final Cut Pro X ( Version 10.0.7). All of the video was shot in 720 X 480 and I used the 16:9 format when I created my project. I used the H264 codec selection when exporting my video to a .m4v format because otherwise I get a file that is close to 50 GB in size. I saved the file to my desktop and it plays perfectly inside of Quicktime (Version 10.2) in a 16:9 format.
What I want to do is import that video into some type of DVD creator so that I can create menus and chapter selections with backgroud music etc. Unfortunately, each time I try to do this the DVD creation software puts the video into a 4:3 format. I have tried using iDVD (my old standby with iMovie) and DVD Creator for Mac by Aimerisoft with the same results. Since I am getting the same results from different DVD burning programs, I must be exporting the file incorrectly or it is some type of FCPX issue.
I have read on other forums that the exported file may not contain the metadata that these DVD creation programs need to display the video properly. I have tried going through the instructions at this link (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2179), but this workflow does not work.
I am using a 15" MacBook Pro running OSX Version 10.8.2. I have a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Luis,
Just for some background information, I was given a 16 GB SD card with video files in a .mpg format. Here is the original file information:
I converted these clips to a .m4v format using VidConvert and deinterlaced them at the same time. Here is the information for the files that I imported in FCPX:
Here are the settings for my project:
I have blacked out certain portions to protect people's names.
Any solutions to the loss of quality by exporting from FCPX using the DV codec is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Slide Shows on TV DVD Players

I have old family photos, which I've scanned, loaded into PSE8, set dates, and created captions. I've also organized them into albums. Now I want to create a DVD slide show that my parents can play on their DVD without using a computer.
Seems I need some Adobe product called Premiere to do that. Do I have that right? If so, is it an seperate product that I can add at minimal cost, or do I need to now buy a bundled package of PSE and Premiere?

Just output the slideshow as a .wmv file and import it to the program of your choice to create the final video dvd.
If you are running Vista Home Premium or Windows 7, it includes a program of Windows DVD Maker, which can make the TV playable DVD disc using the WMV file from the PSE slide show editor.
Use a good quality DVD disc : DVD-R discs seem to be the most universally accepted by TV DVD players.
