Help with burning a slideshow to a DVD...

I'm using iDVD and I have about 260 photos in a slideshow with audio and I burned it to a DVD and it stops playing after it shows the 99th photo. I read online that it is limited to 99, so I altered the project into three seperate slideshows accessible from the menu. I synced music with all three of them and then burned the DVD. This DVD works except for the fact that the first slideshow has no audio, but the second two have audio. If someone could please tell me what is going on and how I can get this to work?
thanks.

Welcome to iDVD Discussions.
Are all your iApps updated? QuickTime at 7.1.3?
Where did the music come from that is missing? Audio CDs? iTunes?
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...

http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html
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.)

Hi... I am looking for an inexpensive app for my macbook pro that I can put pictures and videos together into a slideshow with captions and music WITHOUT a watermark and that also will burn the slideshow to a DVD in its own app. Help?

The issue with the A1400 is that like most economy compact cameras, they will not have very fast focus times in indoor lighting situations. Many people have gone to entry level DSLR's (Canon T3i) or micro 4/3 cameras. They are fairly expensive, but a late model refurbished T3i can sometimes be found with a kit lens for about $300.00. With Auto and scene modes, as well as full manual modes, these are very versatile cameras that focus very quickly, even in lower lighting situations. Canon is not really into the micro 4/3 cameras, instead they are focusing on the new G7x and G1x cameras, which are way out of your price range. The A720 is still available used at some places such as KEH camera, but you'll need to check often as their stock changes constantly. Obviously the DSLR's don't use AA batteries, but the T3i is good for about 600 photos (or more) per charge.
My refurbished DSLR was practically brand new condition when I got it. I could not find any sign of wear at all, so I feel they are a real bargain. These are rugged cameras that are made to last. The A1400 is a $99.00 camera, so it's not intended for heavy usage, plus the image quality of a DSLR (even entry level) is far better than the A1400. That would be my recommendation.

Help with iPhoto '08 - Slideshow & Ken Burns

I need help with creating a slideshow using Ken Burns effects. The basic problem is that some photos are getting cut off. I know I can modify each photo for start/end place, but each time I run the show, the effects are different (one run, slide 1 goes left to right, next run it zooms out, etc.), so I can't tell which photos need to be individually modified. The show is 100+ photos, so I'd rather not modify each one. I was at the Genius Bar yesterday and the guy told me the effect would be consistent once I made the slideshow, so that I could tell which ones to fix manually, but that's not the case. Please help!!
Running: MacBook OS X 10.6.8, iPhoto 7.1.5
Thanks!

You can adjust the start and end boxes. You can move them, and you can adjust the size by dragging the corners. However, the box will always be in the same shape as your aspect ratio, (e.g. 16:9 or 4:3)
To do this, click on the Gear icon in your photo to open the Inspector. Go to the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tab of the Inspector.

I am trying to burn a slideshow onto a dvd that will play on a standard dvd player and tv, but everytime I copy it I cannot play the disc except on my Macbook

You can't just copy the slideshow to a DVD as, you've found out, that won't play on a TV. You need to use a program that will render it into DVD format, complete with the proper lead in and trailers. I use Toast to do that, however, there are other programs that can do that too.

How can i burn a slideshow to a dvd disc and keep the same full screen hi-def quality to it? I exported it to idvd but much of the quality was lost.

Ask in the iDVD forum on what's the best way out of iPhoto and into iDVD. The resident expert there, Bengt Wärleby, can give you the best option.

When I burn my slideshow to a DVD, it loses focus. How do I retain the sharpness of my photos?

When I burn my slideshow to a DVD, it loses focus. How can I retain the resolution of my slides?

DVD is a quite limited format and involves a very large mount of compression to get your large multi-megpixel images down to the DVD format (roughly equivalent to a 3 to 3.5 megapixel image.
Further, creating a slideshow in iPhoto (or other app) involves converting the images into a movie - and that also involves compression - so the images are doubly compressed.
It's all a matter or trial and error to find the system that works for you. Some folks export from iPhoto at the largest size possible to minimise compression in that phase, some make the slideshow in iDVD to eliminate that first phase compression entirely.

I am trying to find an app or software to burn iMovie slideshow to a dvd. I have a MacBook Pro with Mavericks. There are a lot of DVD Creator apps a the App store. Looking for a recommendation of what to use and tips.

I've been using "Burn" for years and it has been the only DVD burning software I have ever used for the mac. I have never needed to look at other apps. Unless you want something that has more bells and whistles such as Roxio's "Toast" : http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/pro/overview.html
There are thousands of quality free apps out there for the mac that are not part of the App Store. All you have to do is read reviews online, do a little search, the Apple forums are full of recommendations from experienced users that have been here for years...

Help With Burning files to DVD

I'm having trouble doing something that should be ridiculously easy. I'm trying to burn files to a blank DVD RW. I've created a burn folder in finder. The folder has lots of duplicates, which causes the size of the burn folder to exceed the size of the DVD. I tried to delete the duplicate files from the burn folder. I get that low pitched 'bonk' noise that the Mac OS gives you when it won't allow an operation.
How do I delete duplicate files from the burn file?
thanks,
Dan

(What you're describing works as would be expected on local test systems and no "plonk" noise, so...) issue a Get Info on the burn folder and then the (links to the) files within, and see if the protections are blocking delete access. Also select the file, and then see if the Control-Click popup menu gets you anywhere.

Please Help with Burn Error in iDVD 4.0.1

I'm using a G5 and running OS 10.3.9. I've burned a slideshow once with no problems using iDVD over a year ago and went to try again recently (after upgrading whenever an upgrade was available) and I'm getting the following error:
Errors were found during the burning process
The recording device reported the media error:
WRITE error - RECOVERY FAILED. (0x0C, 0x08.)
I'm using DVD-R as required, which I've also used in the past. Can anyone help me in troubleshooting this problem. I've ruined 3 disks so far trying to burn this slideshow. Any information would be helpful. Thank you!

Thanks for your response Sue.
I tried the Verbatim DVD-R and I'm now getting the following error:
Errors were found during the burning process
The recording device reported the media error:
Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.)
Where can I choose the burn speed? You recommended 4x or slower but no burn speed option appeared when I clicked 'burn'.

How do you burn a slideshow to a DVD that will play on DVD players and PC computers?

I burned a slideshow in Aperture onto a DVD containing about 40 photos with a sound track from iTunes. The disk will play on my iMac but not on my wife's PC or on two of our DVD players (less than three years old.). What am I missing in the burning sequence that causes the problem?

What Shutttleworth says is the way to go however you might run into one gotcha, iDvd is no longer available if you bought your current machine with Lion on it.
iDvd use to be part of iLife but is no longer offered as either a seperate download from the App Store or as part of any App Store bundle. If you can still find an iLife boxed set iDvd will be on the DVD in the box. Other then that you'll need to look at thrid party solutions.
Of course if you upgraded to Lion and had iLife before the upgrade you should have a copy of iDvd.
good luck

Help with Spry Content Slideshow

Hi, I like the new widget browser and how easy it makes adding widgets in dreamweaver, Top marks to the developers.
I have been having a play around with the spry content slideshow, with the possibility of using it on a small business website I am working on. I have managed to alter the width and height of the widget and everything looks and works great. I was however wondering how I would go about adding say a 250w x 80h logo above the banner on each slide, which would also require that the banner and story be lowered slightly.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer with this.

I was just playing with Spry Content Slideshow earlier, and conveniently still have it open, so I'll give this one a shot, too. It looks like you've got two options embed a "logo bar" of some sort inside the the Slideshow, or (the easier method) wrap the Slideshow in another container. I just used a single banner image.
I gave embedding a try and placed a <div class="logo"><img/></div> before the first article, but the JavaScript overrode this, and added a new article. Moving this construct inside the first article created a fairly nice banner, keeping the rounded corners at the top. The construct, however, will need to be added to each article. I didn't like that too much, but it's just a personal preference.
The easy way (?) would be a wrapper, such as <div class="logo"><img /><div id="theSlideshow">...</div></div>, then style the ".logo" class as needed, maybe even copying portions of the style from ".WLBSlideShow" in "wanderlust-brown.css" for the rounded corners, and maybe giving ".logo" additional "padding-bottom" and ".WLBSlideShow" a negative "margin-top", to overlap the bottom of the logo area. Localized CSS modifications (placed after the linked CSS) might be something like the following?
.logo { background-color: #491e16; width:700px; border: solid 1px #39312e; -webkit-border-radius: 7px; background-color: #491e16; -moz-box-shadow: 5px 5px 10px gray; -webkit-box-shadow: 5px 5px 10px gray; box-shadow: 5px 5px 10px gray; } .logo img { width:100%; height:100px; padding-bottom:40px; } .WLBSlideShow { margin-top:-60px; margin-left:-1px; }
If you'd like to see the first method, I can put that up, but the HTML is a bit repetitive.
Hope this helps. If not you maybe someone!

Need help with full screen slideshow image quality

I am looking to display some images with full screen slideshow. The images I add are very large, over 5000 wide. When I publish the site some images retain their quality while others lose it and look like crap. Why would this be and how can I fix it. I tried to resize them to the 2560x1707 that muse does, and then add them. This doesn't change the end result of poor quality.

Go to Assets Panel and locate the image you want to use at original size. Right click the image and chose 'Import Larger Size'.
See if that helps retain quality for that image, since Muse does not resize/interpolate that image for you.
Cheers,
Vikas

Help with Burning Videos

I am trying to burn music videos onto a dvd disc and I keep getting error code 4450. It has something to do with the format. Anyone know what this is?

You need to purchase more advanced burning software like nero (www.nero.com) or you could convert the files to a format that dvd maker understands using this:

Burning a slideshow to a dvd.

When I burn a slideshow from iDVD, the words "my slideshow" appear on the screen. Is there a way to remove them or at least edit them?
