How come my 16:9 iDVD 06 project plays as 4x3 on iMac when burned?

Hi.
Warning: This is a question from a newbie.
I recorded a digital TV show with EyeTVTV and made a DVD out of it using iDVD 06. The show was 16:9. The iDVD project was 16:9. Everything was fine when I previewed the project in iDVD (both menus and show were 16:9 - looked cool). I then burned it to a DVD using iDVD which about 2 years. When I put the burned DVD into my iMac, I get 16:9 menus but the show itself is 4x3 with long faces and black bars on the sides of the screen.
Any ideas what I did wrong?
Thanks,
Adnan

Hi Ian Parkinson and drogersgolf.
I have the exact same problem, but changing the aspect ratio of the TV to 4:3 doesn't help! The video is still cropped on both sides.
I hope someone can help to prevent this problem from occurring in iDVD!
Thank you in advance!

IDVD project plays perfectly in preview but when burned NO AUDIO.....

The iDVD (v 6.0.2 )project plays all video and menus/buttons perfectly in preview but when burned to NO AUDIO except on menus, none in the AUDIO TS folder, none on main video which has 11 chapters exported from FCP 5.0.4 as QT w/chapters.
Also the burned DVD has scrambled the links from the Scene selection menu to the correct video chapter.
I've checked all the media for 16 bit, etc.
WHY does it play fine on the simulator but screw up so badly when burned to disk.
any help would be appreciated, THANKS in advance

I had the same problem with my music not playing once I burned my iDVD's.
What I figured out, was that whenever I download music from iTunes, and try to use the music within my iDVD program, there's a little lock that appears in the iTunes file of the song I'm using. No one knows why...I spent hours on the phone with Apple trying to figure it out. So, the file is locked, and will play on my computer when I view my show, but will not play once burned, and I try to play it on the TV.
So, my work around is that every single song I purchase from iTunes...I have to burn onto a CD, and then burn back into my iTunes. That creates an unlocked file, and I am now able to use it.
I don't know if this is the same problem you are having...but it's a huge headache as I create these iDVD's a LOT for my business.
It basically stinks, and there's no fix - according to Apple...

Elements 9 Projects plays fine on computer however when burned to a DVD it drops the last part

Hello,
this is my first post and first Question ever on Adobe site. I hope thatt someone can help. I have used Elemenys 3.0 for a number of
years. I have now upgraded to Elements 9. I am having an odd problem with a project that I am working on. Everything seems to be OK on the EDIT
and on the DVD PREVIEW mode ; However when burned to a DVD, I am loosing the last part of the project, and the laat scene button does not take me to the correct scene, It takes me to the one just BRFORE it. When the burning process is done, it shows that it all went well. No error messages. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what is causing this?

hi photonutguy,
Since your question is about burning your video to a DVD disc, it is actually an Adobe Premiere Elements question. This forum is specifically about Photoshop Elements and is frequented by people who use Adobe Photoshop Elements for their photos.
there is a separate forum for Adobe Premiere elements where you will find the people knowledgeable in the video process for burning that DVD with menus at
http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements
So I recommend that you post your question at that Premiere Elements forum .

How can I find what apple ID I used to register my iMac when I first booted up? I am being told that by using this ID I will be able to go on to the App store and down load iPhoto at no cost. Is this true? My iMac does not have iPhoto resident on it now

Thanks....

Launch Keychain Access and click on Login in the left hand pane and then on Passwords. Next do search for Apple in the search field at the top and click on Apple ID Authenicication in the list that comes up. That will give you the ID no. and password.

Imovie 11 - how can I shared to idvd a project that I modified and finalized for the second time?

I finalized a project (iMovie 11), shared with iDVD just as a test. Then I came back to the project, included A LOT of things, finalized again and when I shared to iDVD i just show the first finalized project. How can I work with my hole project in iDVD?
I tried to save as my project, but there is not this option.
Please HELP me. The old iMovie was much better. :-(.
Tks a lot
Gil

Try first sharing to Media Browser from iMovie in the Large Size.
After it is finished, you should be able to see it in the Media browser on the iDVD side of things. Drag it into a new project and continue working in iDVD.

IDVD finished project plays in 4:3 ration on my widescreen 16:9???

I did my whole project in 16:9 ratio and when I burnt the DVD through iDVD it was set up as 16:9 ratio. When I play the DVD on my TV(Samsung 50" plasma) it cuts the left and right ends of as if it was made in 4:3 ratio. I'm stuck and need help!!!!!! I don't know where else to look. It's as if when watching on the TV that it's zoomed in, I can't change on my tv.
Thanks,
Donnie

IDVD changing 16:9 PAL to 4:3 when burning

Hi there
I have some 16:9 footage which I export from iMovie 08 as a Quicktime Movie using Apple Intermediate Codec as PAL 720 x 576.
I bring that footage into a 16:9 iDVD PAL project.
But when I save the project as a VIDEO_TS folder and open it in DVDPlayer, the main menu screen is 16:9 but the actual movie is pillar-boxed and not in 16:9.
If I import the iMovie footage into iDVD via the Media Browser, all is fine.
Any clues on this would be appreciated - why is iDVD treating the PAL 16:9 AIC differently?

Just a guess but I suspect iDvd's media browser helps prep most added media files so that they are more palatable to iDvd.
Apple's DVD Player app on the other hand is a different app altogether. It's apple's playback software. Normally, it's very dependable but it may or may not see certain embedded flags for 16:9 as opposed to 4:3.
If this is the case then, an alternate test for this media is apple's QT Player/better yet ... QT Pro. If the flags aren't seen here then there's a problem....
Suggest you take a look at JES Deinterlacer which can convert NTSC<->PAL with much better quality than converting with iDVD, iMovie or QuickTime Player Pro.

My iMovie project has sound, but no sound when burned in iDVD

I created a movie in iMovie then burned the disc in iDVD. The sound is good when I play the project in iMovie, but after I burned the disc in iDVD I cannot hear any sound. What should I do?
THanks

The following info was obtained from the Apple knowledge base:
Delete encoded assets from the project.
Burn another disc or Save as Disc Image, mount the image and test in DVD Player and then burn your DVD with Disk Utility.
This issue can also occur if third-party (non-Apple) QuickTime plug-ins are installed. If the issue still occurs after trying the steps above, check for third-party plug-ins in ~/Library/QuickTime/ and /Library/QuickTime. Move these to the desktop, and then log out and log back in to the computer

How come my iTune store only shows podcasts nd itunesU as the option when I thought I could download music or movies?

I got my ipad2 almost a month back. But the ITune store only shows two option, podcast and ituneU...can somebody tell me hot to buy music and movies from the store?

It depends on what country you are in - not all content types are available in all countries. A full list of what is available where is shown on this page . If you are in one of those countries where only podcasts and iTunes U are available, the unfortunately you won't be able to buy music and films from Apple (and the terms of use of the stores state that you cannot use another country's store). Are there other music purchase download sites in your country ?

How do you prevent the itunes trailers from playing in a different language when traveling abroad?

I am traveling in the Dominican Republic and I was looking to download a move, but I wanted to watch the trailer first. The trailer played well but in Spanish and I don't speak or understand Spanish. How do I change the setting so all trailers play in English? Does the same apply to what I download?

You can only purchase items in the iTunes store country you are physically located in and have a credit card and billing address in that country.

You cannot change it.
Yes, it applies to previews as well as downloaded content.

You can't outright. You can extract a fragment of it and massage it into ringtone format for the phone to use. Search for the topic, the procedure has been posted in various occasions.

How come there is no "Safety Lock" icon when you are accessing your personal bank info?

How come there is no "safety lock" icon picture in the tool bar when your accessing personal banking info. On other browsers, it shows that the Internet line is secure (the Lock icon) is in the address line. There's nothing on using Firefox.

Padlock is no longer part of Firefox; it was removed beginning in Firefox 4. The padlock shows that there is a secure connection but does not supply additional information. You could have made a typographical error and still have been connected to a secure connection. The padlock was replaced in Firefox 3 with the Site Identity Button.

You are using Firefox 5. The most current version of Firefox is 8. Consider updating as Firefox 5 is not longer updated/maintained and contains security issues that will not be corrected.
