How can I make an iPhoto slideshow into a DVD in Lion?

If you MacBook Pro came with Lion preinstalled then you will not have a copy of iDVD. That's because iDVD and iWeb have been discontinued by Apple and is not longer being included in iLife.
You can purchase a copy from Amazon.com: iLive 11.
If you do have Lion this post will self destruct in 10, 9, 8... seconds and you can follow Terence's directionsl
As for iDVD the following is a recommended workflow to follow;
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 and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was 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 can i turn an iphoto slideshow into a book?

I am wondering how I can turn an iphoto slideshow into a book?

No - you can make a book from the same photos but not form the slide show - smiply elect the same photos (probably in the album you made the slide show from) and make a new book from them

How do i burn an iPhoto slideshow onto a DVD?

how do I burn an iphoto slideshow onto a DVD? and a blueraycompatable DVD?

Export the slideshow from iPhoto, that makes a movie of it.
Do you want to use this DVD in a domestic DVD player? If so, then the disk will have to be 'authored' to make it the correct form for that. If you have iDVD then that's the app you use. However, iDVD is no longer developed or distributed by Apple. You may be able to get it on an old iLIfe install disk.
Other options:
Burn: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/21992/burn
Toast: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/6351/toast-titanium
But there are lots of others too. Search on the App Store or MacUpdate
As for Bluray you'll need an app (and a burner) that can create that format.

How can I import multiple iphoto libraries into Photos beta

I have successfully imported a single iPhoto Library into the Photos Beta app. However I have several other iPhoto libraries that I would like to import into the Photos library. Think of is as merging everything into one now that there's iCloud backup.
I started with iPhoto back in 2005 and have created a separate library every three years ever since. Each one is quite large, ~40 gigs.
What is the best means to import additional libraries into my new Photos library. Unfortunately the File import option on Photos does not allow for a selection of iPhoto Library file type.
Thanks,
Brian

Merge all iPhoto Libraries into one before migrating them to the new Photos.app.
You cannot add additional libraries to a Photos library, only additional photos. Or have several Photos libraries, but only one of them can sync with iCloud.
To merge your iPhoto Libraries into one, use either Aperture, if you have it (see: Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries), or the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager: Download it here: iPhoto Library Manager

How can I make an iPad slideshow for a friend, without having an iPad?

I'm on a MacBook Pro, 10.5.8 old school stuff these days, I'm sure. The point is, I don't have any fancy new apps or an iPad.
A friend has an iPad 2, I think (the newest kind) and I wanted to make them a slideshow (or a couple). What would be the easiest way of doing this—using Keynote, or just stuffing the pictures into a folder in numerical order and zipping it?
Also, I want to resize all the images so they appear full screen right off the bat. The info I found on Apple's website is:
1024 x 768
132 pixels/inch
Does this sound about right? Thanks so much!

How can I insert a widget slideshow into a template-based page in Dreamweaver

HI, I Have a question that has been nagging me for the last three hours.
I have been trying to insert a slideshow into a template based document using the insert widget function in Dreamweaver CS 5.5. The problem is that I contine to get the error that
    "This widget requires code that must be inserted into the head of the current document. Insertion cannot happen because the head of this document is read only."
I have tried to edit the template file in order to make the head tag into an editable region. I have tried to resolve the problem by eliminating the
 function call and instead using the 
function, but all that does is grey out all the code on the page following the this function call. The other side effect of using this method is that the child documents do not even have a header anymore.
I do not know if this is just a lack of understanding how this works, or if there is a bug in Dreamweaver.
Any help in this subject wold be appreciated.
The original HTML for the template in question is below.

Unfortunately, I have tried it, but continue to recieve the same error message. I have double checked the syntax and positioning of the editable regions, and they match yours completely. In the child page everything is editable. Do you have any other suggestions for this perplexing problem? Thanks

How do I get an iphoto slideshow into mobile me?

How do I get an iPhoto slide show (complete with audio, etc) published to my MobileMe?

Import the movie into iPhoto and then create a MMe gallery in iPhoto with the movie in it.
However, you have a greater versatility in the MMe gallery coming from iMovie. You can have multiple versions/sizes of the same movie that will fit a greater variety of internet connection speeds.
This is an example: iMovie to MMe

How can I burn a Motion Video into a dvd and keep the same quality?

I tried exporting my Motion video into Quick time but the quality is horrible. The images and text are blurry.
How can I export this video into a DVD or CD and keeping the best quality of the video?
Would Appreciate someones help.
Thank you

Try this - export the Motion file as an animation and import into FCP - then apply color correction, if necessary. Then push it through Compressor and onto DVD.....
Hope that helps.

How can I make a simple slideshow on iDVD?

As opposed to the majority of Apple apps that are "user-friendly" I find using iDVD a very awkward, un-friendly application. It offers "drop zones" without me understanding what I should "drop" into them.
I just want to make a simple DVD of a slideshow with some background music ... nothing fancy. I don't need any theme and I don't need to add any movies.

To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1089
If you want something a bit more sophisticated:
There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!

How can I make a imovie event into email size segments

I recorded a 24 minute bicycle ride and the reults were good.
I imported the AVI file event into Imovie and the file is now a wopping Mpeg 4 3.78 GB. HD 1280 x 720.
I tried to share the file to email to some friends (or a segment of) but was far to big.
I tried to split clip but no matter what I do that modify menu item remains in light grey and that menu item can not be used.
In a past version I manged to do this on an earlier release. Currently I am using Imovie 10.0.2 which comes up as the currnet version.
I also now have a "Share Failed" alarm "The share operation "Theatre-SUNPRO0003" has failed. Video rendering error: -50" come up every time I use IMovie and I can not get rid of it as it keeps popping up every minute and is very anoying.
I also had the computer slow down considerably and found the problem was Drop box austomatically started uploading the huge file as did ICloud to begin with.
Any assistance would be of great help.
Computer is a 2009 MacPro with 10 gig memory and using OS X 10.9.1 and pretty fast internet connection.
Regards
Barry

iMovie does not allow any editing or splitting of clips in events. You can only do this in a timeline. Consequently if you want to split or shorten a clip you have to do it before importing into iMovie. Quicktime 7 or Quicktime 10 are able to do this.
Your movie is very big becasue of the high resolution. You can make it smaller using a lower resolution. There is a share to email option. I would not share to Theater - it creates several different version s of the movie and slows things down a lot.
If you only want to share the movie at original resolution and not do any editing, why not simply upload it directly to Dropbox (i.e. not via iMovie) , splitting it first if your Dropbox capacity is not big enough?

How can I download an iPhoto slideshow to a disc or thumb drive?

iPhoto '11: Export a slideshow

How do I get my iPhoto slideshow into iWeb

I made a slideshow in iPhoto, set to music, and I want to get it into iWeb. I see options in iPhoto "help" for exporting photos and photo albums, but not for exporting slideshows, unless I want to export to iDVD. Is this a necessary intermediate step? Thanks!
iMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi CrannieM,
Select the slideshow in the source column and go to File>export
choose the size...smallest is the best for the web.
Caveats to this:
if the slideshow contains a lot of photos and transitions and music it will be a large size.
if you used songs purchased from the ITMS others will be asked for your password in order to hear the music. (I think you will even get a message on exporting now that the music will not be heard by others or something to that extent. In order to use purchased music you have to do some work arounds first.
Once you get your Quicktime movie, drag it into the movie template in iWeb.

How can i export an iphoto slideshow to quicktime?

I know how to do this. But its not working!! I have a 33 picture slideshow w music that I want to export to a quicktime movie. So I did this and I have a quicktime .mov file created. However when I launch it in Quicktime, Quicktime opens for a moment and then quits out. It announces an error message: The application Quicktime Player quit unexpectedly. The problem may have been caused by the 3ivxVideoCodec plug-in. Huh? What is that? All I want to do is put this Quicktime video on a dvd disk and give someone a copy to watch at home. Thats all.... help...

There are QuickTime folders at
HD/Library
And
HD/System/Library
Is it in one of those? If so, drag it to the desktop and restart your Mac.
Why? Because it's causing the problem...
