Having problems trying to make a DVD off a footage I shot....

Hello folks,
I shot a footage of my cousin's baptism, now I am imported everything in Imovie HD, what it does on the right side it cuts all the clip so what I do is take all these clips put them in the timeline... now let's say I just want to burn it to DVD without doing any editing to it...
I'd click on File - share - DVD and it exports to Idvd? and from there I'd burn it - does it loose quality? all i have to do is press BURN?
Thanks,
joey

in iM's presets, you can select "import to clip pane" (to drag indivdual clips to the timeline) or "to timeline" (to get all in one rush, in chronical order into timeline, just do some trimming, titleing...)…
you can even import to iDVD itself…
no, you don't loose any quality…
have you read here?

  • So I'm having problems trying to convert a DVD I have ripped (to my mac) into an MP4? Help?

    So I have copied a DVD through the disk utilities app on my mac, which means it is not an MP4 so, how do I convert this DVD to an mp4 so that I can copy it to iTunes so that I can put it on my ipad?

    iskysoft video converter is the best

  • Trying to make a DVD with an old/non-existent version of iDVD!

    Ladies and Gentlemen,
    Please could you help me?
    I work at a school in the UK, and have recently been able to purchase an external Lacie DVD drive, as the school’s computer (currently an iBook G4 with OSX 10.3.2 and a 1GHZ Power PC Processor – 640 MB Memory and a 40 GB HD) wasn’t shipped with one – however, I have a problem…
    Trying to make a DVD that will play in a stand-alone DVD player – I followed the advice in iMovie Help – but was stopped suddenly on finding that I do not have the relevant version of iDVD (which version (if any – I can’t see it anywhere!) was shipped with iMovie 4.0?). Is it possible to download a copy of iDVD 3 or later from anywhere compatible with OSX 10.3.2 and iMovie 4.0?
    The iMovie Help has an additional option to ‘export your movie in a format appropriate for DVD authoring’ which has let me burn the movie as a (name).DV file – but this is not compatible with any DVD player I have tried. I noticed a while ago on this forum that someone was talking about Toast but I do not have this, but I do have Roxio Easy Media Creator 7, which was bundled with the burner – but is only compatible with a PC – would I be able to build a project in iMovie, transfer it to a PC, and use REMC7 to do what toast would?
    Finally, I was wondering if anyone has any experience of using Avid’s free DV software – and if they would recommend it (and also if I would be able to make DVDs with it?).
    Well thanks for reading if you got this far – and I’d appreciate it if you could offer any advice (I know I’ve not been very concise)…
    Kevin.
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.2)  

    Thanks for the welcome Karsten! I’ve checked the installer disks – which appear to have all the main pieces of software, but not iDVD. If you or anyone knows where it might be hidden that would be great. Thanks for all the other info too!
    Thanks Lennart – I don’t think my computer could support iLife ’05 as it is running Mac OSX 10.3.2 and I’ve just been looking at its system requirements which state it requires 10.3.4 minimum – if you know differently, please let me know. As an alternative I have considered getting iLife ’04, but your comment about iLife ’05 being the first version to support external drives worried me (“iDVD 5 is the first iDVD version that officially supports external burners“ does this mean there is an unofficial option for iLife ‘04? Perhaps a patch similar to the one mentioned by Karsten), does that mean iLife ’04 would not support an external Lacie DVD writer?
    What is the earliest version of Toast I’d be able to use (as a money saving option!)?
    Thank you both, and apoligies for my amateurish questions…
    Kevin.

  • Trying to make a dvd from a project and this error message appears .The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-2125)

    Trying to make a dvd from a project and this error message appears .The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-2125)

    Hi
    Error -2125
    OK Error code - 2125 usually indicates that the movie is to large.
    It use to pop up when going to iDVD !
    iDVD - DO NOT CARE ABOUT Gbs at all. I got movies on 500Mb that do not fit and 50Gb that fits nicely.
    iDVD - ONLY CARES ABOUT - Duration. Duration is Movie time + MENU TIME. Choice of
    menu and animation of this can take lost of "DURATION" 15 minutes or even more.
    Choice of encoding method and use of SL or DL DVDs determine the DVD limit.
    iDVD 08 & 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities.
    iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
    • Best Performances (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    DL DVDs can store about double of these times.
    ALTERNATIVE - The Error Code can indicate that free space on Start-up (BOOT) hard disk is
    less than 25Gb (my minimum)

    If you are getting OSStatus error -2125, I've seen this caused by the computer display sleep settings.
    Try changing the sleep settings to never and see if you are able to export.

    I have the new iPad3 with Verizon.  I am constantly having problems trying to connect to 3G.  I had no problems like this with my older iPad and AT&T as the carrier.  In fact, I find that if I cannot connect via Verizon, I can pick up my original iPad and connect right away !  Anyone else having this problem?

    I fixed the problem. Sorry apple for wondering if it was on your end.
    These are what helped me:

    having problems trying to get my security question and answer sent to my email and it is not showing  up

    Do you mean that the reset link won't show on your account or that the email doesn't arrive on your rescue email address ?
    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions), or you aren't receiving the email to it (you've checked the spam folder on the account and tried clicking the reset link again) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.

  • I am trying to make a DVD of some of my photos in iPhoto 11.   The photos are in iPhoto, but in one of my external hard drives.   I have been able to make DVD's just recently, but not now.  What can I do?  At the end I get a notice of "failure

    HELP, HELP, I am having difficulty making a DVD-R  of some photos I have in one of my folders in iPhoto 11.   I use iPhoto on my external HD.   I have never had problems before today making copies of my photos using DVD-R disk.   I am doing the same thing that worked before.   Some of my photos are going to be put in a gallery for showing and I need to make a DVD so they can choose which ones to display and enlarge the photos.   It was due TODAY!  Yikes!  At the end of each try I get a window saying "BURN FAILED - The burn to the OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5670S drive failed.  The disk drive didn't respond properly and can't recover or retry."    help...........

    How are you getting the photo onto the disk to burn?  Have you tried exporting then to a folder on the Desktop and then burning that folder to disk using the Finder.  That will give you a data disk with just the jpeg image files in the folder. 
    If that's what you're doing and getting the burn failed then it's a system or optical drive issue. 
    If you're using the Share  ➙ Burn menu in iPhoto that will create a disk with a mini iPhoto library on it that can only be used by another Mac running iPhoto.
    Can you elaborate on your workflow.

  • How do I find out the size of a file, trying to make a DVD and told the fil

    Made a slide show project with music and trying to write to dvd. Computer tells me the file is to large and to use a dual sided disk. I cut may slides out but no luck. How do you find out the file size?

    Hi
    And SlideShows has a limit of 99 slides per show.
    I rather assemble mine in iMovie HD 6 where as QuickTimeKirk states
    it only has Time as a limit dep. on encoding method selected and if Single or Double layer DVDs
    Single Layer (for DL double time) - TIME includes menu - keeping it simple gives more to movie.
    (I prefere "Brushed Metal" no audio, no animation.)
    • Professional Quality (movies up to 120 min.) - BEST
    • Best Performances (movies less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above

  • Having problems trying to install ipod

    I keep running the install disk and it asks to connect the ipod to see if it needs to be formatted. I do this and it says that it is rebooting the ipod...then it says to press the format button again. It will do this a couple times then say that it is having problems conecting to the ipod and to disconnect and re connect the ipod. If i do this it keeps happening...does anyone know how to fix this or what to do?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Don't use the CD. Instead download the latest version of the iPod software updater, and install it. Run the updater, connect the iPod when told (but not before), and choose to restore.
    Note: If you do not have iTunes installed you should download iTunes and install it first before attempting the above.
