Export 12gig iMovie to toast titanium

there must be a better way! no super drive but yes toast 6 titanium----Will toast compress or even handle a 12 gig iMovie and create a DVD? AND, is there a way to burn iDVD to my LaCie external? If so how do I save the iDVD file and export it to toast? iDVD seems to want to freez up when finished with the making of the DVD and there's no 'save as' in the menu and so on....
Is there a way to compress iMovie? (quick time?)
thanks

a) iDVD (and Toast...) doesn't care for size, but for length of a project... anything under <120min (≥24 gigs!) fits on a standard, single-layer dvd-r (=4.7GB)... because iDVD (Toast...) does a conversion into the playback format mpeg2...
b) choose "create image" in iDVD, that creates a digital copy of a dvd... launch Toast, choose "mount image", "copy" that image... read the manual/help files.
c) iDVD5 supports external burners... most...
d) freezin' - my guess, reading in your specs "macbook": you run out of diskspace.- dvd encoding needs at last 10 - 15GB free on internal drive, when hitting "burn"....-
e) … next time, I would post such a Q in the iDVD section of this forum ... ;-))

IMovie, iDVD & Toast Titanium: LARGE FILES?????

I CANNOT save a disc image by saving my large video files (21+ GB) using iDVD via iMovie (where I constructed the project with themes, charpter marks, etc..). It will not allow me to use it (iDVD). Is there a way I can burn such large volumes as a disc image and then burn to DVD with the computer requesting new DVD being inserted as needed? Will Toast Titanium handle this? My movie is only 2 hours and 15 min. or so; doesn't anythiing compress it down to fit on a Dual Layer DVD? All of the music I layed under it and other such things ate up memory. Will Toast solve this problem? Any other suggestions? Thanks so much for everything!

Compress iMovie on toast 6 titanium?

Is there any way to compress my imovie (11.5g) using toast titanium 6.0.9 and get it to fit on a 4.4 disk? And/or, is there a way to compress it in imovie(no I do not have iDVD) ?
Thanks

Hello Heavenonearth,
first of all, sorry for the misleading answer to your previous post - I simply didn't check your specs....
Yes, Toast will compress your iMovie project into MPEG-2 format and burn a Video DVD. To do so, in Toast select the Video tab, then choose "DVD-Video". Next go to your iMovie project folder and find the Shared Movies folder, which contains a Quicktime reference movie with the same name as your project. Drag that to Toast, then hit burn.
Remember to burn at slow speed (2x) and to use high quality DVD-R media (e.g. Verbatim)
is there a way to compress it in imovie
In iMovie you only have the possibility to export via Quicktime, which does not create files burnable to Video DVD.
hope this helps

Is it better to export an iMovie project as QT and use Toast to burn a DVD for general use or to export to iDVD and burn VD from there? Why?

Is it better to export an iMovie project as QT and use Toast to burn a DVD for general use - or to export iMovie project to iDVD and burn DVD from there? Why?

Toast probably maintains better quality if you are just doing simple conversion direct from your camera straight into Toast and then to DVD. There's a lot less transcoding steps and loss of quality in that direct to DVD disk creation in Toast. However, having said that,...There's good arguments probably for both.
What I've seen promoted most often (as most people don't have Toast or aren't motivated to buy it) is to Share to Media Browser (choose the Large size option) and then from inside iDVD click the Media Button and the Movies button to find the project under the iMovie star icon in the Media Browser window. Drag that project into your iDVD project and burn the disk.

Aperture and Toast titanium exported files size reduced

I have tried to look up the answer to this but can't seem to find one. I am relativly new to aperture.
I am dragging 150 photos from the aperture window into toast titanium 8 to put them on CD for a friend to print off. When I do this the file sizes are reduced from between 2.5 - 3.5 MB down to 400-500k. The quality still seems quite good for a slide show but not brilliant for large prints. Is ther another way to get them burnt to disc or am I being really stupid?
I am using aperture 1.5.3
Gary

Thanks Ian, that cretainly gives me a way to do it but it now adds another half hour to the process while I wait for the 150 photos to be exported to a file so I can then drag them to be burnt! I dare say if I was clever I could get automator to do it for me in the background, thats for another day!!
It also throws up an other interesting point, when exported at the original size they seem to double in MB from roughly 3.5 to 7 (without metadata). However if I export them at 95% of the original they actually export at about two thirds original which is just about right for the prints required.
I have no idea why but now I know it happens I can dial in my settings accordingly....

This is my first time using iphoto, I am trying to make a slide show that I can then burn to a dvd. The slide show is complete, but I'm not sure where to go now. Can I burn the slide show from iphoto or do I have to export to imovie or idvd?

I have completed the slide show i am making, but not sure what to do now. I want to burn it to a dvd, but not sure if i can do that from iphoto or do i need to export to imovie or idvd? If i need to export, will iphoto save a copy in iphoto? This may be really stupid, but I don't see an obvious way to save my slide show in iphoto. Please Help!

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 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.
NOTE: If you're running iPhoto 9.5 the export options will be different.

IDVD Stops Responding when Exporting from iMovie

I'm using iDVD and iMovie (from iLife 06 and fully up to date) on a MacPro (also up to date on all software, MacOSX, Quicktime etc).
This proceedure has worked before several times but now results in a non-responding iDVD every time I try it, including an archive and re-install and a complete new install of OSX and all software on a new partition.
What I'm doing.....
[1] Recording a TV programme on EyeTV (410) and exporting it to iMovie - sucessful every time
[2] Edit the iMove project and add chapter markers and save project - no problem.
[3] Export to iDVD - iDVD shows exporting in progress and whilst this is still showing iDVD launches
[4] iDVD starts playing the music from a std theme for a few seconds and then stops. Then resumes the music after resizing the window and then after a couple of more seconds freezes. From the Dock I can see that iMove and iDVD are "not responding"
[5] Eventually iMovie completes it's "export" and then starts responding normally. iDVD continues to show as non responding although I can move the window around the screen. I have to force quit iDVD to get it to close down.
I have tried:
Re-exporting the project from EyeTV
Deleting the preferences files for iMove and iDVD
Deleting the iLife suite and re-installing
Doing an OSX archive and re-install
Installing a fresh OSX (10.4.8) on a different drive and installing fresh software
Running Disk Utility - clean bill of health on both drives
Repaired permissions
The Console reports the following errors when exporting from iMove to iDVD:

Result - problem persists. I'm at a loss as what to do next. Any suggestions greatfully received.

Yes, tried that when I deleted the preferences. Disk Utility did not report any permissions needed repairing.
What really mystifies me is that this export to iDVD did work once and I expected it to resume once I'd created a fresh OSX install along with all the iLife apps on a new partition, but it remained the same!
Perhaps there is some sort of other software conflict going on? I have Adobe CS2, MS Office, Toast and FMP installed all are latest editions. On the utilities front I have installed Stuffit Deluxe, Internet Cleanup, Contour USB controller for video editing and a LogicTech wireless trackball. Again all the drivers are the latest releases.
Does anyone know if there are any preferences associated with the other not responding applications listed in my other post that I could try the delete-reboot trick on?

Does Toast Titanium 7 allow burning DVD's in code 0?

I want to burn my iMovie projects in code 0, but Toast Titanium 6 doesn't allow that. I can only choose NTSC or PAL and I can't burn a NTSC iMovie project in PAL either - which I would like to do and vice versa. Being able to burn either to code 0 would solve that problem, but before I upgrade to 7 I would like to know if it gives me that option. Thanks to anyone out there who has the answer.

Hi Lennart - thank you for correcting my wrong advice:
Don't worry about NTSC or Pal - that doesn't come into it.
Yes, of course, iDVD Preferences presents that choice. Yet I had imagined that a DVD disk is a DVD disk and would play anywhere in the world - and that it was merely a hardware issue.
Thus if I cut a Pal DVD here in NZ, it could not play in USA?
But presumably a Pal-created iMovie can be burned into an NTSC DVD disk, and be able to play there. I've just never tried that!

Blu Ray Workflow: FCP7 to Toast Titanium 11

Good Afternoon,
I'm trying to get a grip on the workflow for burning a Blu Ray Disc for a client.
I'm working in FCP7 - have Roxio Toast Titanium 11 as well as a Buffalo Blu Ray Burner.
Can anyone provide me a step by step for taking a finished FCP7 project, running it through compressor with the correct settings and then how to take that and create a Blu Ray in Toast Titanium 11 with a menu.
Much appreciated! Cheers!
Keith

From FCP-7, export a QuickTime movie of your finished sequence, Self Contained and Without Conversion.
Go to the menu File > Export > QuickTime Movie . . . .
and in the navigation pane that opens make sure Settings is set to Current Settings and Make Movie Self Contained is checked.
Open Toast 11, click on the Video Tab and from the Drop Down menu choose Blu-Ray video.
Drag the QuickTime movie you exported from FCP-7 into the Toast Drop zone.
Select your destination media and buner at the bottom.
Set up your menu and other options in the right panel. Toast is not known for having great, or flexible, menus but the menu choices they offer are there.
When done click the Burn button and Toast will properly encode the video, and then burn the disc for use on most set-top Blu-Ray players. Early Blu-Ray players may or may not support home-made blu-ray discs, most players made in the last few years do.

How do I export from Imovie to Xilisoft?

How do I export from Imovie to Xilisoft?

Actually I did. And yes, I know that iDVD is no longer part of iLife.
I could only guess as earlier iLife versions did include iDVD (I ahve it). If you had an iLife install DVD, you would be able to install it; as you didn't share what model/year your MBP was, it could have been included.
My iMovie version is 9.0.9 and this is a screenshot of the options under "Share" in the File menu:
You can export (different options available) to your desktop as a .mov and then import into a burn software (that will author/encode/"finalize" it so it can play in any DVD player). I'd never heard of Xilisoft, but that is not a burn software; iDVD is (still available as part of the retail iLife disks from online resellers), or Roxio Toast (excellent), or Burn (free) or google for others.

I have Toast Titanium. How do I transfer an existing slideshow with audio from iPhoto to Toast to burn onto a dvd to play in a dvd player?

to export from iPhoto select the video and export - as to how to use Toast - that is a wuestion ofr their support - it does not involve iPhoto once you do the export

Difference between Toast Titanium 7 and Toast with Jam 6...

Maybe I am just thick, but I can't seem to find a straight answer on this. What does TwJ add to Toast Titanium 7?
I want to convert LPs to CD and hear that Toast - with Spin Doctor - has a host of great tools for cleaning up hiss and various noises. Are the tools in TwJ the same, better, or worse?
It seems that Toast has been updated more recently then TwJ, so would it seem that an update for TwJ is upcoming?
Any other tools for audio cleanup that you suggest?

Toast 7 was written for Tiger while Toast 6 has been updated for Tiger. Development is continuing for Toast 7 but it's difficult to know if there will be any further updates for Toast 6.
The version of CD SpinDoctor that comes with Toast 7 is newer and has more features than the version bundled with Toast 6.
Toast 7 does not include Jam. If you want Jam's features it must be purchased separately. However, with Toast 7 it no longer is necessary to own Jam in order to encode AC3 audio on video DVDs or to create music DVDs as was the case with Toast 6.
Getting to the specifics of your needs, Toast 6 can burn an audio CD from CD SpinDoctor files exactly the same as does Toast 7. CD SpinDoctor 3 can now export tracks directly to iTunes which version 2 cannot do, and has a much-improved waveform display. The filters now include a 10-band equalizer.
Have you read the description of Toast 7 at Roxio's site? Here's the page where it compares with previous versions: http://www.roxio.com/en/products/toast/why_upgrade.jhtml

Burn Bin image on Toast Titanium

Hi
I ve created a bin image of Windows XP using Toast Titanium 7, however the program refuses to write the image. I also get an error when trying to mount the image file under the toast format.
Any ideas on what is causing the problem?

Followed your advice and I made some progress.
I exported my project from FCE using the Quicktime Movie option and it comes out great. I tried putting in iDVD and putting it on the Dual-Layer Disc setting Project Info and it appears that it will have enough space to come out ok.
A new problem is that my project on the iDVD playback is being played in fullscreen when its supposed to be played in its original widescreen format. I'm not excatly sure what to do next, especially considering that another video in the same project with the same specifications and formatting is being played in its intended widescreen formatting...

How can I export an imovie in a pc format?

How can I export an iMovie to a format that will work on a PC?

Easiest was is to install QuickTime for Windows (which is free from Apple) on the PC. Then any iMovie-created file will work.
If you do not have permission to install QuickTime for Windows on your PC (this could be the case for a corporate PC, for example), then I would suggest using SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose Movie to MP4. Choose h.264 for the video codec.
