please help quick funeral is on monday

If you only have PSE the only kind of video disc you can make is the hateful VCD. If you have Premiere Elements you can send your slideshow there to create the video disc, or else output it as a .wmv file and use whatever burning software came with your disc burner (Roxio, Windows DVD maker, etc.).

Why do my dvds that i made in dvd studio pro don't work in a dvd player or a windows computer?

Why do my dvds that i made in dvd studio pro don't work in a dvd player or a windows computer? I tried everything, and I watched so many tutorials after not succeeding. I read in another forum that it is common. Please help. I have already used about 20 discs trying to figure out what is wrong.

How to make a photo CD to work in a DVD-player?

I burn photo CDs in Finder in my MacBook. No problem with the burning, but the CD doesn't work in my DVD-player. I can see some of the photos, but some are just grey "items". A photografer told me to use a setting in the burning program that burns the CD in PC format. That would make my photo CD to work in PCs and DVD players. The problem is that I can't find any settings like that when I burn CDs in finer. Are there any? Shall I use some other program to burn?

It’s not a good solution. (I’m no expert at IPhoto.) The manual in iPhoto says that you have to export the photos to a burning map in Finder if want the photo CD to work in Windows and PCs. Then the problem is back. I can see the photos, but there is grey “item” for every photo.
The other way is to burn direct from iPhoto. OK, no grey items. But the photos are “down sized” in quality and not full size if you want to look at them on your TV via your DVD player.

My iPod classic wont connect to the computer. The light comes on but it doesn't even come up with 'connected' screen. Have tried everything on apple troubleshoot but hasn't helped. Still works in Logitech iPod player. Any suggestions please???

My iPod classic wont connect to the computer. The light comes on but it doesn't even come up with 'connected' screen on the ipod. Have tried different computers, usb cables and ports, as well as restarting computer, updating itunes, and rebooting ipod. Still works in Logitech iPod player, however it has just wiped itself of all songs so at the moment I'm stuck with a useless iPod. Any suggestions please???

If you happen to have a USB docking cable that is new (or close to being new), try using that one. If the cause is the dock connector on the iPod becoming worn, if you try it with a cable that is not worn, it's possible that it may connect for data.
I believe the dock connector is internally part of the logic board, so it may not be economical to have a repair shop (including Apple Store Genius Bar) do the repair. You'll need to ask for pricing.
If you are good at such things, this web site has DIY repair guides

If it's the most recent iPod classic, it appears to be quite difficult to pry open. I have an older 4th gen (and 3rd gen) "classic" iPod, and those are fairly eash to pry open, using the plastic tools.

Burnt DVD wont start when in DVD player

Hey, how's it going?
When I make a DVD, it wont play..
The disc mounts in all DVD players, title screen and menu screens work fine, but when i click on "Play" nothing happens...
When I click on "scene selection" and choose chapter1, the movie plays fine
Is there anyway I can get the movie to play from the main menu screen without going into submenus?
Thanks

How does it play when you use apple's dvd player app?
If it plays as expected, then the next best thing is to try out your finished iDVD at a local consumer electroics store that sells several DVD Players to see if it it plays as expected. Ask a sales person for permission to try out the DVD on several units.
but when i click on "Play" nothing happens...
Lower the burn speed to 4x or slower using apple's Disc Utilities or Toast.
Lastly, use Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R for best results.
Good luck & Hope this is Helps.

DVD's not working on Sony dvd player

I just bought some TDK DVD-R 16x. I burned a DVD with my iMac G4 in iDVD. I tried to play it in my Sony DVD player and it said it was was not allowed because there were limitations or something. Can I fix this or do I need new DVDs??

Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the
DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may
encounter. Once the disc image is created,
double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that
should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn
the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually,
you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which
OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in
Applications folder), click on the virtual disc
(maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the
Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your
SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn
icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R
preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait.
Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor
over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to
work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower
for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to
click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This
may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk
to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD.
Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD
Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and
open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio
disks.)

I'm reading through the forums trying to figure why I am not able to play a DVD burned in iDVD that is "R", but the "RW" ones work fine.
Your post is very helpful and I've looked at the links suggested too. I just want to make sure I'm understanding. I've copied the movie to my hard drive using iMovie and then created an iDVD project. I then need to use either Disk Utility or Toast to make the DVD. I do not need to use the "burn" feature in iDVD. Is that correct?
I would appreciate any other suggestions. Maybe there is something else in the settings or preferences I need to adjust.
Thanks so much.

How do I save/export a slideshow for showing on a DVD player?

What are the magical settings that let me create a DVD of an iPhoto slideshow, so I can play it in my DVD (Blu-Ray incidentally) through my flat-screen TV?

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.

How can I burn a slideshow to play on a dvd player?

How do I burn a slide show to a DVD which will work with my DVD player?

I've been able to create a slide show of photos with selected i-Tunes music. I can create a file and burn it to a blank DVD R, but both a regular and Blu-Ray DVD players say the disk is incompatible.
Also, is there supposed to be a file under Events where you can keep other slide shows?

You need a video DVD authoring application like iDVD. Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.

Chapter markers don't work on a DVD player

I have burned multiple copies of a DVD from iDVD. I checked everything and each menu works fine on my imac. However when I put it in any dvd player and try to go to the separate chapters it freezes and nothing happens. Only in the chapters though. I can play the movie fine and go into special features. I just can't jump to different scenes in the movie. Can anyone give me any help or pointers please?

I have an experience that I burned a disk with chapters working.....then added music...burned the same project again and the chapters would not work anymore.
So it might be, that the music in the menu causes some problem.
I also look for a solution...I want to burn menus WITH music AND menus that work
