Help please, burning the i-movie project onto DVD

Hi - I'm brand new to all of this. I have finished creating my i-movie with divided chapters for i-dvd. Then I went to file/share/and sent the i-movie to i-dvd.
Now what?? I've been looking over the support topics, but I dont want to do anything except burn my i-movie onto a dvd and keep the chapter markers that i saved. I don't know where to begin!!
I guess I'm just having trouble getting started and making sense of it all. Can anyone help give me a jump-start please?
Thank you!!

I'm starting to get the hang of it now.

  • When I try to burn my slideshow.mov to a dvd disc, it will burn but when i put it in the dvd player it says 'disc error'. I have burned it thru iDVD before but forgot how to do it and it won't do it now. The slide show is on my desktop

    Rather than burn directly to disk 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.

  • How do you burn off final project onto dvd disk?

    how do you burn off a final project onto a dvd disk....do you need idvd or dvd studio pro?

    can i just export my project into toast and then burn it off?
    Yes. Toast is capable of doing the compressing/encoding, multiplexing and burning, although in tests that I've done, Toast's encoding quality isn't nearly as good as iDVD, Compressor or DVD-SP.
    do i need to compress it?
    Toast will do that for you.
    or do anything else to it?
    Use good quality media. Stay away from poor quality brands like Memorex.

  • CS6 Error Message When Burning a Blu Ray Project to DVD

    Hi,
    I'm trying to burn a Blu Ray project to DVD and I'm getting this message when I try to build the project:
    The project is an excerpt from a larger one and contains only 2 video files and no menus. However it's particularly worrying because the project from which this is an excerpt is large and complex. I have created it as a Blu Ray project but my final deliverable is DVD. I really don't want to have to rebuild as a DVD project because it took half a day to link up all of the menus and chapters.
    Is there something I need to do in my encode settings?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply John.
    It's extremely frustrating that this is the case. I'd have started with a DVD project in the first place had I not read this: http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/using/building-finished-project.html , specifically the following excerpt:
    "You can build the same project to DVD and Blu‑ray formats no matter which format you select in the New Project or Project Settings dialog box. Encore makes the appropriate adjustments to transcode the elements to the correct format."
    Reading that gave me the confidence to go ahead and build as a Blu Ray. I now have to find another half day to rebuild the project as a DVD.
    Thanks again for the information.

  • I just want to burn the main movie without themes or menus

    How can I do that using iDVD. That way it will play right away without being interrupted by menus.

    How to create a DVD in iDVD6 without menu (there are several options):
    1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
    2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
    3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
    Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
    3. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
    4. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
    Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
    • create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
    • Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
    • Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
    • Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
    • Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
    • Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
    • Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:

  • Help. Help Please, burning to DVD through APE 10

    ok So have been with PE. for years and have just bought a super PC, and forked out for APE 10.... so have just built my movie . with chapters etc . and have now come to burn .....as is my way i burn the file first to file as VOB ... Then normally i burn this using DVD shrink 3.2... But this time for some reason it did not work so i thought i'd burn straight from APE through the "Share" Button (same button as to burn to file) any way (I'm looking at it now as I type) of course there are x3 options (1) burn to DVD. (2) Blu-ray. and (3) AVCHD... ok so follow this .... i opted to burn to DVD but it does not recognise that i have a burner ... now i know your gonna say ...hit the rescan button (Next to the "Burner location button) ... well done that 100 times +  to no avail ... BUT strangly enough... if i chose the option to burn to AVCHD ....Low and behold the burner is there ...("D Optiarc DVD RW AD-7261S") but as you can't play AVCHD files on a normal DVD player i am now stuck as to how to finish off my project... SO would really appreciated some intel on this problem...

    Hi Experts,
    Please advice me on the following.
    What is the land scape of an implementation project.What is the Golden client server.Is it mandatory to maintain and if yes ,what data shall we put in golden client.
    Is the process correct..to do initial configuration in Development server and move it to quality for testing  and after testing shall we move the config to  Production system on golive date.
    generally what is the setup of different servers in an implementation project.
    Dear experts Please through a light on this.
    Regards,
    Sai.

    Hi Mahesh,
    Thanks for the reply.agian i m having some doubts.
    What could be the different clients in DEV Server.
    We do all config s in dev client.How will the config move to golden client.
    Im in doubt weather shall we do configs in dev or golden client.
    According to me there will be sandbox client and Dev client and quality client in the Development system.Is it correct.
    Please share your idea.

  • ILife 11 - IDVD burned the wrong movie.

    After installing ILife 11 I built a church service movie in IMovie, shared to ITunes (due to sound sync problems with other options), then added to a new project in IDVD. The movie looks correct when viewed in IDVD both in total and specific chapters. During the burn process the thumbnails from the correct movie shows as the process continues but, the completed DVD contains an entirely different movie.
    Thus far ILife 11 has given me nothing but problems in what previously had been a simple process that I had done dozens of times. It has also caused me to waste many hours and supplies.

    The iDVD version in iLife '11 is the same as in last two previous versions of iLife. So IT hasn't changed.
    I've never gone the 'shared with iTunes' route. I'm not sure what kind of issues THAT approach could cause.
    Did you actually CREATE a new iDVD project for the adjusted movie? Trying to modify an existing project can cause problems. (Which could certainly lead to the wrong movie appearing on the DVD.)
    It has also caused me to waste many hours and supplies
    Computer programs are fussy and want you to do things their way. Rather than waste more DVD discs, make your burn to a disk image file (an option under FILE in iDVD); double-click on the .img disk image file to mount it on your desktop; and play it with the Apple DVD Player application. If it's correct, you can burn it to writable media using the Apple Disk Utility application.

  • HT5636 the screen has stopped working. Is there a combination of buttons that might have changed the screen from the laptop to project onto another screen.

    hi my granddaughter has an assignment to print off tomorrow and her screen was blank when she turned the computer on. You can hear it is working but not see anything. Are there a combination of buttons she might have pressed that would change the screen to a projector?  help please!!!

    OK, if you technically can't help as it has been hacked/unlocked then let's talk about another iPhone I have that nothing as been modified since it was purchased from the carrier.
    If I had a similar situation with this iPhone, could the camera problem be a software failure, and not just an hardware problem?
    Thanks again,
    and sorry for being so politically correct - it's definitely not me..

  • Burning a quicktime movie to a dvd

    I am trying to burn a downloaded Quicktime movie onto a DVD. So far I have done so, but the DVD only plays in Quicktime, not on the regular DVD player and not with the computers DVD viewer. The Quicktime movie is in a H.264, AAC Codec format. When I try to adjust the settings under advanced and burning for the DVD I have three options for the Disc Format. Audio CD, MP3 CD and Data CD or DVD. I have chosen the 1st and 3rd options but every time I push burn it gives me the message are you sure you want to create a Data DVD. I don't think I want to create a Data DVD but I have no idea how to not create one and create a regular viewing DVD. I have also tried to load this file onto the IMovie and burn a DVD but then the file will not fit onto the DVD! I'm at a loss. Please help.

    You can't create DVD movies directly from QuickTime, I would suggest you use iDVD for create movies that can be played in a home DVD player directly.

  • Getting a  90 min fce-hd project onto DVD

    Hello,
    I have a 90 minute HD project completed in my timeline and I'm having difficulty getting it onto DVD. The "self-contained" movie file is 50 GBs. Can iDVD handle a compression of this size
    or do I absolutely need COMPRESSOR to realize a decent quality DVD?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Here's the process to burn DVD for household DVD player:
    In FCE use export to quicktime, uncheck "self contained". There is not quicktime encoding at this stage. The encoding process will occur in iDVD itself uppon burning. It's an invisible process.
    Drag the resulting file in a new iDVD project.
    From this stage, it's the total length of your movie(s) and all animated menus in iDVD that rules the choice of your support(DVD blank).
    You have to use single layer for a total of 2 hours, or dual layers for 4 hours (if your mac can support this blank DVD). Check your iDVD preference to select the right encoding method, best quality or better performances.
    Click the burn button., and voilà.

  • How to Produce the highest quality picture onto DVD or Blu-Ray

    I have recently started looking at new video cameras and software. I will soon purchase FCS. One thing that I cant get a clear answer on is how to produce a high quality DVD / Blu-Ray Disc.
    I stumbled upon a cinematographer by the name of Ray Roman. He is producing the kind of wedding videos that I want to produce in the near future. I see that he answered one of his followers by saying he shot the wedding with Cannon 7D DSLR cameras.
    Here is a link to the video I am speaking about.
    Ps. You need to scroll down a little to see the video.
    http://rayromanblog.com/2009/10/stephanie-tims-wedding-in-big-canoe-georgia/
    Can anyone tell me if they believe that was shot with a DSLR type camera, and if so what steps do you believe were took to create such a high quality final product.
    1. What type of software is needed to produce this?
    2. Does it have to be a Blu-Ray disc to hold that clarity?
    3. Does FCS support Blu-Ray?
    4. If FCS does not support Blu-Ray can I Export the project to Roxio 10 Pro to make the Blu-Ray disc?
    If I am totally off in left field Please Please Please let me know your opinion as to the best methods you have found to end up with a high quality product like that.
    What I really need to know is
    1. What camera will capture the correct info to start with
    2. What software will edit it and encode it without losing all that high quality data
    3. What way to burn the project to disc to again retain all the clarity, brightness, sharpness etc...
    Thanks for you help Ron...

    I'm at work so I can't see the video, but I can answer some workflow questions for you. If you see lots of shallow depth of field shots it was probably shot on an HDSLR. That's about the only thing they have going for them video wise.
    1) Without watching it I'm willing to guess it could all be done in Final Cut Studio or seeing CS4 in your signature, Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium/Master Collection (Premiere/After Effects).
    2) DVDs only show SD video. You can do anamorphic video to get widescreen video on a DVD, but anything 720p and up will require more than a DVD disc. You can also letterbox your video to get faux widescreen on a DVD.
    3) FCS doesn't really support blu-ray. Apple in general does not support blu-ray. You can export to a codec that is blu-ray friendly but there is no blu-ray authoring software, nor can any Mac be purchased with a blu-ray drive to my knowledge.
    4) There are lots and lots of ways to export from Final Cut Studio. I'm sure you can find several wrapper and codec combinations that Roxio will accept. The level of compatibility is a different issue..do you need subtitles, chapter markers, etc. If you need more than a video clip you'll probably hit some hurdles.
    1) I'd avoid an HDSLR to get started out. They are a pain in terms of workflow. You have to transcode (convert) all the video from the nasty H.264/PhotoJPEG codecs they record in (H.264 for the Canon cameras, PhotoJPEG for the Nikons) if you want them to be friendly in Apple's Final Cut or Adobe's Premiere.
    It is important to understand video comes in a few types of formats, acquisition formats, editing formats, and delivery formats. A .mov file is a wrapper can be contain perhaps hundreds of different codecs (only one at a time), AIC, ProRes422, ProRes4444, Animation, the list goes on and on, it is the codec used that is important. H.264 is a compressed, lossy video codec developed for delivery and now used for acquisition in consumer devices. Editing software wants something simpler to edit with, like Apple ProRes422 or AIC for Final Cut. Transcode it and you won't have to render out every frame (let the computer build a preview video in an editing codec so it can play it back smoothly), then re-render when you do so little as add a cross dissolve.
    That also doesn't even begin to look into the audio issue. Using an HDSLR for video capture basically says you need a separate device (and likely another operator) for audio acquisition. These will have to be synced up in post.
    I'd say do yourself a favour and get a video camera if you want to shoot video. When you've got a feel for the workflow and a better understanding of what you're up against an HDSLR can liven up your shooting with some shallow depth of field effects.
    2) Final Cut Studio and Creative Suite 4 will both work with 7D video, but the 7D doesn't shoot "high quality data." The video it shoots is H.264, or compressed. Think of it as though every frame has gone through Photoshop and been saved as a JPG with the quality setting at 3 or so. It looks pretty good if you blow the background out of focus, but it has inherent issues that make it not the best for every situation.
    3) The best way to retain image quality is good workflow from beginning to end.

  • How do I burn my home movies to a DVD?

    I have a MacBook Pro which I purchased in June of 2012. I would like to put my home moives onto a DVD to mail to my relatives. (I don't want ot put them on You Tube.) How can I burn my home movies onto a DVD? I guess you could do this with iDVD in iMovie 11, but the MacBook Pro that I have does not have this feature under Share. What do I do?

    Personally, I use iMovie to edit my home movies, then I use Burn to burn it to a disk. Burn will automatically set the necessary files and everything for you too! Just drag and drop, and click burn.
