Exporting imovie to idvd

Ok so i love working with imovie ive been doing it since the first imacs came out. i have a powerbook g4 and a lacie external dvd burner. im running tiger and all the new updates. i ve solved the problem with saving disk images..but when i share my movie to idvd, with chapter markers, (and these are usually only about 10 minutes long), i put the idvd project together, and wheni want to preview..it doesnt play, it freezes up and freezes up my whole computer. now also i noticed the new imovie doesnt have a folder now when you save it. so it doesnt automatically create the quicktime anymore. i was just wondering, why it wont play when i share it to idvd, (i also make sure no chapter markers 2 seconds from transitions..thank you so much

Aaron,
Review the rest of the Chapter Marker rules : http://dvd.kentidwell.com/?page_id=53
The do’s and dont’s for using chapter markers safely:
Set cm’s after applying transitions and effects
No cm’s inside any transitions
No cm’s within 2 seconds of the end of any transition
No cm’s within 2 seconds of the beginning or end of a movie
iMovie/iDVD will always create a ‘Beginning’ cm for you as a default - plan on it
Also make sure you have filevault turned off in your system preferences, and that you have plenty of free space (20GB if you can!) on your PowerBook startup drive, often a big problem for PowerBooks. It's actually the reason I broke down and bought this dualie!
The new iMovie uses "packages" not folders, but you can still find the movie if you're game. Control-Click the iMovie package(file) and choose "Show Package Contents" Inside Shared Movies>iDVD you'll find the old QT reference movie you're looking for.

  • Problems with exporting iMovie to iDVD

    i want to export from iMovie 6.03 to iDVD 7.02. iDVD does´nt start.
    What is the Problem ?
    <Edited by Moderator>

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following;
    1 - close iMovie.
    2 - open iDVD, set your theme, etc.
    3 - drag the iMovie project file into the iDVD menu window being sure to miss any drop zones present.
    This will let iDVD do the encoding of any transitions in iMovie instead of iMovie thus eliminating additional compressions to the movie.
    When you have the iDVD project as you want it use the File->Save as disk image menu option to save it as a disk image. That will allow you to preview the project using DVD Player to make sure the encoding was correct. Once you're happy with the disk image you can burn it to disk using Disk Utility at the slowest speed available. Also use top grade media like Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden -R disks.

  • 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.

  • Import files into iDVD from iMovie OR export files from iMovie to iDVD?

    I've been told it is better to import iMovie projects into iDVD (within iDVD) rather than exporting from iMovie to iDVD within iMovie. I was told that iDVD does a better job of rendering things than iMovie. Is this true because this is not the instructions given in the iMovie tutorial.

    Not sure what advice you have been given and how you have interpreted it.
    You are of course referring to im6 here since you can't drag projects from im08 to iDVD.
    I don't make many DVD's anymore and may well be wrong here but I'm not aware that dragging an im6 project to iDVD is any different than using share/iDVD and I'm wondering if the advice relates to exporting from im6 and then importing the exported movie into iDVD which is indeed a different workflow.

  • How do you export projects to iDVD in the latest iMovie version?

    How do you export projects to iDVD from the latest iMovie version?  (It used to be a simple click on share!!)

    You need to "Share to file" and pick the 480 or 540 size.
    Use this file with iDVD.

  • Quick Question (re:exporting from iMovie into iDVD)

    Hello everyone!
    I just have a quick question for you all... (I want to see if this is normal - I'm on a deadline and this is kind of freaking me out)
    So, we have a 20 minute or so video in iDVD. It plays fine, etc etc. The goal is to burn it to a DVD.
    I used the "Export -> to iDVD" function in iMovie, which launched iDVD.
    But here is the weird thing: nothing comes up in iDVD. It doesn't make a new file, doesn't give me anything... it is just open, waiting for me to create a new project to work with.
    YET, if I look in the Activity Monitor, I do see that EncoderServer (using 123% CPU) and ThumbnailServer (both iDVD processes) are running.... but shouldn't iDVD have told me it is working or that it is dealing with data?
    This is very un-"apple". I totally would have expected a progress bar of some sort in iDVD telling me it is working or something.... or is something wrong and I should try to export it in a different way?
    (I guess the underlying question is: when you export from iMovie to iDVD, does iDVD normally give you any 'heads-up' that it is working? how long does it normally take to open the project in iDVD?)

    Hi Matt!
    when you export from iMovie to iDVD, does iDVD normally give you any 'heads-up' that it is working? how long does it normally take to open the project in iDVD?)
    Yes, and it's instant.
    What you should see is iDVD opening and asking you to create a new project, It will suggest naming it the same as the iMovie project.
    There are reports that exporting from Imovie to iDVD can produce problems. What I do is save the iMovie project and close iMovie. Open iDVD, create the new DVD project, then go the File menu in iDVD, scroll down to Import, and in the side menu select Video. This open your Movie Folder, wherein resides your iMovie project. Select it and it imports into iDVD in a flash.
    Remember: iMovie projects go in the Movies Folder, iDVD projects go in the Documents folder. Change that, and they get very confused and unhappy.

  • Audio drops when movie exported from iMovie into iDVD

    Hi there,
    I am a problem which I can't seem to fix.
    I have created a 7 minute long slideshow in imovie with MP3 files from iTtunes embedded. The video and audio are fine when exported as a MOV file (and within iMovie itself). But when exported into iDVD for burning, the audio drops out completely after 3 and a half minutes.
    I've tried updating iMovie, iDVD etc., deleting encoded assets as it says to do here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24043?viewlocale=en_US
    to no avail.
    Does anyone have any tips? My friend's wedding is on Saturday!
    Thanks so much.

    Hi
    A. I do not use "Share to iDVD" - BUT "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (not HD or other res.) - Works much better.
    B. When did it hang ?
    a. On Export from iMovie to iDVD
    b. When DVD is played on DVD-Player
    If last one - then
    • What brand of DVD did You use (Yes it matters)
    • What type of DVD
    • Free Space on Start-Up hard disk - How much
    • Burn speed - did You set down this - I do to x2 or x4

  • Poor quality exporting from iMovie to iDVD

    When I export a dv movie from iMovie to iDVD, the quality drops significantly. A nice clean movie imported from a dv camcorder to iMovie becomes horrible pixelated mess once exported into iDVD and actually burned into a DVD. No matter what quality settings one uses.
    It seems like many people experience similar problems, judging by postings (unanswered, as far as I can tell). It also appears that basically everyone using iMovie has this problem, but most people are content with poor quality DVDs, or are they?
    Does anyone know why this is so, and if there is any workaround? You know, the simplest way out is to switch to a PC and use one of their standard movie editing software, but isn't Mac supposed to be better for this purpose?

    Hi
    A.
    If You included photos into Your movie and used Share/Export to iDVD. iMovie
    asks to render the material = Destructive in two ways:
    • Losy iDVD project
    • Original iMovie IS HARMED: Photos needs to be re-imported and re-edited.
    • Re do the import and editing.
    • Close iMovier
    • Open iDVD
    • Drop iMovie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD
    Done.
    B.
    There are a major difference between a Mac Monitor and a Standard TV (much less
    sharpness due to 525 - 625 lines (NTSC or PAL))
    I connect my Camera to my Mac (via FW) and analog out to a TV so that I can monitor
    the process during iMovie editings. (iMovie preferences set Playback via Camera)

  • Problems to export from iMovie to iDVD

    Hi,
    I made a film using iMovie and, when I try to export it to iDVD, an information board tells me that it's impossible due to a "mystake 0". The board asks me to check if the program is correctly installed (it is) and if I have enough space disk (I have plenty).
    Can you please help me. This film is very important to me.
    Thanks in advance !

    Hello, and welcome to the discussions!
    Have you ever burned a DVD? If not, try making a 2 min movie in a new iMovie project and see if you can burn it as a disk image.
    You might receive the 'Error 0' message if you are using purchased iTunes songs in your movie.
    Try deleting the plists for both iMovie and iDVD. plists found in Username->Library->Preferences->com.apple.iMovieplist/ com.apple.iDVDplist.
    Then, if you can save a short movie as a disk image, you are not using purchased iTunes music, and you have deleted the plists---don't use the 'create DVD' from within iMovie. Close iMovie. Open iDVD. I recommend you create a new iDVD project for your film. After selecting the theme, go to the 'media' tab and find the 'movies' and drag and drop your movie onto the iDVD main screen. Finish making your titles, scene selection themes, etc.
    Then, try saving the project as a disk image. If that works, you can burn your DVD using Disk Utility to burn in from the disk image.
    Post back if this is not clear or does not work.

  • I imported a quicktime movie into imovie and want to export it to idvd and it is grayed out

    Hi
    And if You

  • Exporting IMovie to Flash Drive vie IDVD for Burning on Another Computer

    I have made a slide show in IMovie and since my computer can't burn a DVD, I would now like to export the IMovie to IDVD and then onto a flash drive so that I am able to burn on another computer (probably a PC). Which is the best format to put the movie in for export via flash drive and how can I create the appropriate file after transfering the IMovie to IDVD. There didn't seem to be an export or share option for me on IDVD. If someone could help with the steps after sending the IMovie to IDVD. Thank you.

  • I keep getting the following error message while sharing my iMovie to iDVD.  "Unable to prepare project for publishing"  error (-2125).

    I keep getting the following error message while sharing my iMovie to iDVD.  "Unable to prepare project for publishing"  error (-2125).  I'm running iMovie 09 v. 8.0.6 on a iMac with OSX v 10.6.8, 2Ghz core duo, 1GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.  Any ideas why?

    That particular error comes up for a number of reasons, sometimes it's the size of the movie you're trying to export. Bengt Wärleby a longtime contributor to the iMovie Discussion Group has advised a number of people on this error code, so I am going to link to his latest advice he's given to anyone trying to export to DVD from iMovie: Bengt's tips for great DVDs.
    Specifically, try bypassing Share to iDVD by using Share to Media Browser instead.
    In the Share to Media Browser dialog box choose the Large Size.
    When(If?) it gets through that process, quit iMovie altogehter then go to iDVD.
    Create a new project and click on the Media button near the lower right hand side of the Project Window.
    Then click the Movies button in the Browser window just above that.
    Under the iMovie star icon you should see the name of the project you shared out from iMovie.
    Drag that into the project and burn the DVD.
    If it's still to large or you get the same -2125 error code trying to Share using the Medium size instead. But again if you really get stuck consult Bengt Warleby's User tips:

  • Are there glitches in iMovie or iDVD that would create problems with viewing a finished project on a standard dvd player?

    Everytime I render a new project in iMovie and share it with iDVD to produce a video, there always seems to be glitches in the finished project.  I have gone back and tried to recreate the slideshow, but have not had a whole lot of luck.  I am wondering if I need to delete the iMovie and iDVD applications from the computer???  If I do that will it fix my problem or will I even be able to redownload the programs without having to pay for them again?  I have spent more time and $$$ trying to get a viewable disc to burn and am ready to get rid of the computer altogether.  Hopefully that will not have to happen, but this is a constant issue that I go through everytime I work on a project.  Any suggestions???

    Hi
    Yes and No.
    There are Bugs and ways to make better or Worse DVDs - see if this can help.
    There are two "Bugs" (or at least one)
    • In iDVD - do not go back to video editing program - if You got Chapters set in Your movie - if You try - then now back in iDVD it will ask You to up-date ==> all Chapters will point to Chapter one. Medicine - create a brand new iDVD Project.
    • There MUST NOT BE any Chapter mark set in very beginning of the Movie - or in any transition or within 2 seconds from them.
    DVD quality  
    1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
    • Best Performances
    (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
    About double on DL DVDs.
    2. Video from
    • FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
    • iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
    when the movie includes photos and the Ken Burns effect NOT is used. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
    • iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser ( AND AS MEDIUM - not HD etc as DVD then will suffer in quality ) or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
    3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x4 or x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09  this can also be set)
    This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application when burning from a DiskImage.
    4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
    use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc). For SD-Video - if HD-material is used I guess that 4 to 5 times more would do.
    5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
    6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) - DVD-R play’s on more and older DVD-Players
    7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
    (I use JES_Deinterlacer to keep frame per sec. same from editing to the Video-DVD result.)
    8. Don’t burn more than three DVDs at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
    iDVD quality also depends on.
    • DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
    deliver anything better that this.
    HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
    These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-Player.
    Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
    _ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
    _ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
    _ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
    The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
    Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
    • HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
    less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
    • How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
    • Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
    • Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
    iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
    • What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
    other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
    Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
    strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
    Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
    • What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
    (If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
    (Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
    (US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
    (EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
    UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
    • What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
    • How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
    Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
    Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
    Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
    1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
    (x4 by some and may be even better)
    2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
    Region codes.
    iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
    DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
    1 = US
    2 = EU

    What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
    I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
    I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
    For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
    to get this to work I
    • Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk
    • Use Verbatim DVD-R (absolutely no +/-RW)
    • Set down burn speed to x4 - less burn errors = plays on more devices
    • No other process running in background as - ScreenSaver, EnergySaver OR TIMEMACHINE etc
    • and I'm very careful on what kind of video-codecs, audio file format and photo file formats I use
    • and I consider the iDVD Bug - never go back to video-editor to change/up-date - if so Start  a brand new iDVD project
    • Chapters set as they should - NO one at very beginning and no one in any transition or within 2 sec from it
    • Lay-out - Turn on TV-Safe area and keep everything buttons, titles etc WELL INSIDE not even touching it !
    Try to break the process up into two stages
    • Save as a DiskImage (calculating part)
    • Burn from this .img file (burning stage)
    To isolate where the problem starts.
    Another thing is - Playing it onto a Blu-Ray Player. My PlayStation3 can play BD-disks but not all of my home made DVDs so to get this to work I
    • Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk
    • Use Verbatim DVD-R (absolutely no +/-RW)

    TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
    • Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
    • No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
    • Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
    • Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
    • Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
    • Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
    pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show
    • No File Vault on - Important
    • NO - TimeMachine - during iMovie/iDVD work either ! IMPORTANT
    • Lot's of icons on DeaskTop/Finder also slows down the Mac noticeably
    • Start a new User-Account and log into this and iMovie get's faster too - if a project is in a hurry
    • And let Mac run on Mains - not just on battery

  • Help with very advanced slideshow using imovie?/idvd?/iphoto?

    I am trying to create a more advanced slideshow for the first time, and I need some advice on how to manage my project and the order in which to use (if to use) the various applications (iphoto, idvd, imovie). I've been in all of them trying to figure out the best format to use, as each of them have certain features I'd like to incorporate into my slideshow. It gets a little confusing since this is all new and I just don't know how to approach it. If anyone has experience with all of these programs, maybe you could give me some suggestions on how to get the most out of what is available. Here is what I'd like to do:
    I have a 4 minutes song from itunes which I want to use with a slide show of about 30 pics (whatever is a reasonable amount).
    FX features (a sound effect at beginning before song and maybe some of the cool video affects on a few of the photos (in addition to Ken Burns )
    Ken Burns zoom like an animated slideshow
    Use a theme (preferably one from idvd as it seems to have more to choose from.
    Since it is only one slideshow, I don't need the confusion of all the zones to import clips into, so I'd like to keep it simple. While I want to keep it simple, I'd like to have some sort of preview in the beginning with the cool stuff imovie offers like the title floating in etc..
    So my problem is, I just don't know how to get all of these affects into one slide show because I'm training myself on bits ad pieces of each one, but I don't where to start (magic imovie, magic idvd, start from scratch idvd, or just slide show to import to idvd). I 've tried them all, but I can't figure a way to get more affects as each one has something different. Not sure if this makes sense, but I've trying so hard to get this right (for a Xmas gift) and I'm going in circles trying to keep it all straight. So, if this is possible, I would really appreciate help as to the best way to approach it. Thank you.

    Hi n
    You have one day more for Your project than in Sweden as Santa has to start
    somewhere and home is close. (We start at about 15.00 24 of dec).
    I would start with - if the music is bought from iTune store (a fix for a known
    problem) to save it out as an audio CD (.aiff) else it will look OK till You try
    Your DVD disk = No sound.
    Then I would start a new iMovie project and from media button select photos
    and drop one start photo from iPhoto down into timeline. Then I would import
    the music from the new CD.
    Cont to put photos one at a time into timeline. Change duration so that they
    match the tempo in Your movie.
    Transitions
    Effects
    etc.
    Save from time to time to keep safe.
    When the "movie" is done - close iMovie and open iDVD and drop Your movie
    project icon into this - or - use the import function in iDVD.
    DON'T Share/Export from iMovie to iDVD - it will destroy Your movie by a bad
    rendering work. iDVD does this so much better.
    I don't know any way to use the "themes" in iDVD into iMovie. Sorry
    Merry Christmas !!!
    Yours Bengt W
