Export project to DVD? (Spanning)

Hi all - I'm actually (believe it or not) starting to feel more comfortable about the idea of archiving Aperture projects now that I know iview can read them. The big question though - is it possible to export projects to span across several DVDs? I can't for the life of me find a way to do this - I thought maybe I could export smart albums, but no-go. Any ideas?
The best I can come up with so far is to convert the project to a folder and then have Impression (or whatever) span that project across dvds, but I'm a bit nervous that it might be tough to reimport the project if I did that.

IDVD has the loop feature under the advanced tab. You can also make the DVD play on insert on the map view menu if you need that.
IDVD is about as easy as you can get.

  • Error Message in FCPX when exporting Project to DVD

    I am running Final Cut Pro X version 10.1.4 on OS X Yosemite (recently updated to this). Burning 2 Projects to DVD, one was successful the 2nd failed to burn at 33% complete with error message: Com.Apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error-1. Any ideas why this is and what can I do to rectify problem?

    Let's see if you get the same error message on another project. Create a new event and import a short clip. Add that to a new project. Share>DVD and change the output device to Hard Drive. Does the export complete?
    f it does not, create a new user account and try the same (or similar) test as above from that new user account.

  • Exporting project to DVD... need some help...

    Alright so my movie is finished in the timeline, but I need to get it to DVD. My question is what format should I use to export my movie (NTSC 4:3 standard is the setting I used while editing) and remember I would prefer the highest quality possible.
    Right now I am exporting the video in MPEG 2, but I have a feeling the quality of the video is going to suffer greatly... should I export in HD 720p?
    Sorry if these questions sound stupid, but when it comes to the really technical stuff like this, I still haven't quite figured it out.
    -thanks again

    Steve,
    There are a lot of variables you haven't told us such as the length of your film, version of FCP etc.
    I have just authored 27, 30 minute educational films onto DVD and the workflow I used was based on a lot of trial and error. This may not apply to you but here's what I did:
    Using FCP 4.5 set your audio for the entire project to peak at around -12dB
    Export as self contained Quicktime file at it's current
    settings (I found exporting using Quicktime conversion to MPEG 2 caused sync problems)
    Using Compressor create a custom preset (copy an existing preset then edit) of 8Mbps CBR for the video and either use the DVD PCM preset for the audio or using APack to convert to AC3. I used PCM. Leave the GOPs and everything else alone. If you use APack check the AC3 settings, the default are not suitable, Ken Stone has a good article on this on his website.
    When done import, into DVDSP2 and author from there.
    This has given me excellent results and this workflow should work for up to an hour film off the top of my head.
    If your film is any longer you'll need to calculate the maximum bitrate you can use based on the audio you use.
    For example I recently authored a 3.5 hour DVD - I used a bitrate of 4Mbps ish and an AC3 soundtrack and it worked fine.
    Incidentally I found that 2 pass VBR gave unstable results which is why I went for CBR - later versions of Compressor might have solved this problem.
    Hope this helps, I'm sure other people do it in different ways and get equally good results.

  • Export project with DVD Studio pro?

    Hello everybody:
    I'm trying to export a whole project to reimport later in an empty one. If I export an item description for all menus, tracks etc, then I can restore the assets, but their links appears as empty. No matter if I import all the items at the same time, some of the link are lost.
    Do you know how I can do this? Thanks in advance,
    Gumer

    Welcome to the Boards
    There will be some relinking issues no matter which wway you go (in other words no real way to do it all), but if you reorder the import some links may work- for example if there is track 1,2 & 3 and you import thosse tracks then the menus the links from the menus to the tracks will work, though you will need to set end jumps for the tracks (note I have not tried this in recent versions of DVD SP, but it used to work that way.)

  • What is the best way to exporting a 1080 HD project to DVD

    I am on the final stages of finishing my first ever HD project, having made the jump Premiere Pro 2.0 to Premiere CS5.  Mid-way thru I found it necessary to upgrade to Creative Cloud, so that is where I am working now.  The HD world is so vastly different from the old SD flow that every single step of this project has been a huge learning curve for me.  I am basically an 'oldie' but for all practical purposes I am a total 'newbie' at this.
    That said, I am now finding myself ready to export my project to DVD in a SD form with Stereo sound.  This is where my first problem is.  After I get this handled then I will attack the BluRay Surround Sound issue, but for now I need advice on the SD disc.
    I am working with footage shot on the Red Epic.  At my current stage I am working withh ProRes 444 renders from which I have created a full nested 74 minute timeline.   Frame rate is 23.976 and the source is1920x1080 with 1.0 square pixels.
    So now my movie is done, and it looks and sounds like I want it to. The question now, in a nutshell, is what file type and settings should I use to export my movie so that I can retain aspect ratio?  Should I output a movie first or take the project into another program like encore first and make my disc from there?
    Also, I have my first screening coming up (primarily for cast and crew and industry insiders) in a couple of weeks, so I need to create a 1080 HD File with my 5.1 surround track that I project from a laptop.  The screening venue has the capability to do that via a simple HDMI cable hookup, but does the laptop I use need to have any special capabilities to do the job?  And what is the best file type to use for that?
    I have always been more of an artist than a tech head, but I am pretty much doing the whole post on this movie alone, with the exception of the Dissolve renders and the sound design, which I had done for me (I have a great finished 5.1 design in .wav format, as well as a stereo version).
    I should also mention that I currently have Encore CS5.  Can I work with this on a Premiere CC project?
    Any and all help would really be appreciated.

    Thanks, this helps.  I am currently encoding the feature for the SD version and will take it into Encore as soon as it is finished. 
    I think I may bypass the bluray for now and go to my next question, which is:
    Do I need anything special in the way of a laptop in order to project an HD 5.1 Surround Sound copy of my movie?  Does the laptop have to have any special capabilities?  I can create a 5.1 copy of my movie but my laptop only shows stereo features.  Will I still be able to project the movie in 5.1?

  • How do i export a project to DVD

    I've got a project of a photo shoot of a family.  I would like to export to a DVD from my iMac...to my MacBook Pro which actually has a drive.  I cannot find a simply "export to DVD" option.  What am I missing?

    You're not missing anything, there is no export to DVD option.
    What is it you are trying to do, just burn images to a DVD or make a video DVD of a slide show?
    If it is the first, just burn a DVD with images from Aperture you will export the images from Aperture as you normally do and place them in a folder, then using Finder burn the folder to the DVD.
    If you are looking to make a video DVD post back as it is more involved.

  • How to export completed project to DVD?

    I've recently returned to the Mac world based on jobs and have compiled a birthday video for my father in law.  We are supposed to give him this video as a gift tomorrow night but I did the recent update to my iMovie and now am having trouble using the program.
    Can anyone help me figure out how to burn my completed project to DVD?  Under my Share command, the options listed are Theater, Email, iTunes, YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, CNN iReport and File.  Any suggestions?  I tried saving it under the "File" option and then importing it to iDVD but it looks like the file saves as an mp4, which doesn't want to import to iDVD.
    Would love any help that can be provided!

    First enter the DVD into the computer. Then go into "Share", click "Export Movie", and then find the DVD on the desktop or wherever it is on your computer and it'll export.
    BUT
    As I see it - there are two KIND's of DVDs
    _ Data-DVD - to store files - Can not be played in any Standard DVD-player - and this is done on desktop/finder
    _ Video-DVD - for movies to be played on standard DVD-Players - and to structure and en-code this one NEED a DVD-authoring program as iDVD, DVD Studio Pro, Roxio Toast™, Burn etc.
    So What kind of DVD do You need ?
    And if iMovie'13 (ver. 10.0.x) has NOT changed this. The Share to DVD will result in a Data-DVD (I do not have last version of iMovie to test - hench why I make this remark) but this goes for all iMovie till iMovie'11 (ver. 9.0.x).

  • Exporting Final Cut project to DVD

    trying to export Final Cut Express project to DVD not using IDVD...wanting the cut to play without menu options...looked thru help on IDVD and didnt find anything that would allow such a choice...quick time doesnt seem to have that option to export either...

    Michel has told you what you need to do. In the iDVD menu bar, select View>Show map. At the top left of the resulting screen is the small "autoplay" window; if you drag your QuickTime movie there, it will play automatically when you insert the disk into the player.

  • How can I save previews for old projects, while burning the project to DVD?

    I'll admit, I haven't read the user manual cover to cover (or screen to screen for the electronic version), and haven't spent hours combing the discussions here, but I have searched for all the relevant keywords I can think of and can't find a concise answer to this question.
    I get the basic idea of Vaults (I think), but haven't found much info about long term storage of projects. I'm fulltime freelance, but not super busy, and I can easily generate 100,000 images each year. I don't have the cash to be keeping all of these images in Aperture projects on external hard drives for eternity, and I'd be surprised if anyone else does. Good thing I'm not a medium format digital shooter producing 50GB each day huh?
    I remember seeing a clip of a photographer 2 or 3 years ago discussing the differences between storing digital and film images. He was making the point that throwing away files you don't think you'll need again can be a mistake, citing a shot he had of Clinton and Lewinsky together, before Clinton and Lewinsky were news. "If I'd been shooting digital, that image wouldn't exist today". It was a great pic, and when that whoel scandal erupted, it made him alot of money.
    So at present I'm storing every image I take in finished projects on DVD trusting that in the future I'll be looking for a shot of someone I may have shot 5, 10, 15 years ago.
    I caught part of a discussion that talked about keeping the preview files for all the images (and subsequent versions) for each project. I'd love to be able to keep lo-res previews/copies of everything I've shot to date, and have them immediately accessible on my hard drive, while my full size projects are safely stored on DVD, taking up space on a bookshelf rather than on my hard drive. Loading 10 DVD's worth of projects to see what's inside them is a headache I'd like to avoid if possible, in favour of instantly checking out lo-res previews to look a shot up.
    Is there an easy way to burn a completed project to DVD, but keep only the (lo res, lo size) previews on my hard drive?

    hello, kiwi
    quote: "Is there an easy way to burn a completed project to DVD, but keep only the (lo res, lo size) previews on my hard drive?"
    yes.
    maybe,...
    1. you might think of making DVD backups first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
    or,
    2. bring in the photographs to hard drive first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
    the low rez Previews will stay in Aperture but the high quality Versions will be exported onto DVDs and gone from the hard drive (if you delete the originals).
    another way would be to export small about 50-70 pixel wide high quality jpegs to a folder on your Desktop and import & keep these in Aperture Library as a reference. make metadata to show where the original Project DVDs are stored and DVD filing system used.

  • Backup iMovie projects to DVD

    I would like to back up 1 to 2 hours of a iMovie project to DVD. I am bying Toast that I am told can back up large projects spanning disks, I have Dual layer Lacie burner, What is the Max that I can Span and what volume can I store on a dual layer disk? How comon are the Dual layer disks?

    You can fit around 8.5GB on a dual layer disc, which is about 40 minutes of DV video.
    You can fit around 4.4GB on a single layer disc, which is about 20 minutes of DV video.
    FYI: A dual layer disc costs much more than twice the price of single layer discs.

  • Encore Help | Exporting projects to Flash format

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/using/exporting-projects-flash-format.html

    It strikes me that Adobe can't settle on what to call an Encore project that has been output to Flash.
    Is it a "Web DVD"? That term is used repeatedly in the New Features section. Is it simply "Flash". The Build panel lists the format as "Flash" and the Output as "Flash (.swf)." Or is it a "Flash DVD" or a "Flash Project"? Both terms are used in this page.
    Flash output is an important feature of Encore. It would be a good thing to use a consistent name for the assets you end up with after you output to Flash.

    Hello
    Would someone be able to let me know what the best settings are for exporting to DVD from iMovie 08 to iDVD?
    Is it best to publish or export as a quicktime movie .mov/.dv. The reason being is I am finding that when i publish the quality of the DVD isnt that good and the file size seems rather low. Im shooting on Sony Handycams but also Sony HVR-Z1 so the quality should be good.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi friends,
    I have such a problem with my Imovie project. Its true that I have IMac not a long time but I heard that the system is great. I bought it because of functions that have inside like Imovie. I made my first project in Imovie and I wanted to export it to dvd. What I get was an unacceptable (****) quality. I've made import movies from brand new FULL HD Sony camcorder so it should be increable quality like by HDMI cable conected directly to the FULL HD LCD TV. I'm talking about EXPORTING not IMPORTING movies because imported movies was a HD quality. The problems started when I tried to burn the project to DVD. The quality was unacceptable. May anyone help me with that PLEASE ??? ONES AGAIN MY QUESTION IS - HOW CAN I MAKE A HD OR DVD QUALITY MOVIE FROM IMOVIE PROJECT WHICH MOVIES FILS WAS DOWNLOADED FROM SONY FULL HD CAMCORDER ??? Sorry to bother You but 2 hours talk with Imac support didn't get any useful information - What I heard is "MAYBE MAX QUALITY IS 920*540 BUT HE WASN'T SURE" so no useful at all. I can't find it anywhere even with manuals, or like I said, with a Imac support. PLEASE HELP IF YOU MAY ... My home email is [email protected] Best Regards Andrzej
