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.
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.
NOTE: there are other video DVD authoring apps available thru the App Store.  However, they do not have the themes and professional appearance that iDVD provides.

  • How do I burn a slide show to a DVD?

    When I burn a slide show I created on Photoshop Elements 11 to a DVD using Premier Elements 11, only the botton half of the photos are copied.  How do I correct this?

    There is a problem with 1/2 wmv display related to a recent Windows Update kb. The issue is highlighted in the Announcement at the topic of this forum and has been discussed in numerous threads here. For your convenience, the Announcement looks like the following:
    Announcement: Windows Update Causes Half of Display to Be Blacked Out
    Hide Details
    MicroSoft has issued an Update for Windows, that is causing problems with Displays. The following is from Talbot McInnis, who tracked down this problem, and offers a fix:
    "MS bulliten MS13-057.  Specifically, on XP kb2834904 and on windows 7 kb2803821 is causing a problem
    For us, it occurs when decoding WMV9 files.  Not all uses of WMV decoding are affected, but I confirmed that when connecting the WMV decode DLL to a sample grabber for RGB32 video, the frames arrive black on top, so that points directly to decoding internals of the WMV Decode dll.
    You can uninstall these Windows Updates to resolve your problem."
    There are several threads on the problem that this Update is causing on the PrE and PrPro Forums, so one can get more details. So far, there is not another fix from either MS, or Adobe.
    Also, see this Adobe KB Article: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/wmv-files-corrupted-import-or.h tml
      by Bill Hunt (Aug 2, 2013)
    The general suggestions in the threads have included
    a. For now, set up Windows Updates to require notification and your approval before any downloading and installing of them.
    b. If you catch the offending Windows Update kb in the Important Updates, right click it and select Hide. That is supposed to keep it gone.
    Your problem mostly likely popped up when you selected a route that involved the transfer of the slideshow as a .wmv file. You should be OK after deleting the indicated Windows Update kb. But, consider using the Photoshop Elements Slideshow Editor Output option Edit With Premiere Elements which sends the slideshow over to Premiere Elements in a non wmv format. If you go this route, the slideshow can be broken apart for further significant edits with the Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow command.
    Please review. If any questions, please do not hesitate ot ask.
    Thanks.

  • How can I burn a slide show to a dvd?

    I have tried, every way, possible to burn a slide show with music to a dvd and I did so successfully except that it will only play in a play station 3 unit and not correctly play on any computer or dvd player. I have tried several ways:
    -Creating it as an image saving it to my desktop and burning it from disk utilities
    -Creating it in iDVD and burning it that way
    I AM using a DVD-R
    So, again it will play in the playstation but not on dvd players
    WHAT CAN I DO??
    When I burned it using the whole image thing & disc utilities, it burned the slide show correctly but NO music. I would really appreciate your help

    Sorry, was trying to get all of these.
    Have a look at these for help:

  • How to burn a slide show to a dvd to watch on tv?

    I have a slide show set up in Aperature. I am needing to burn it onto a dvd, so friends are able to play it in a dvd and watch on their TV.  What program works best for this?  I have the Adobe -  Creative Cloud if there is a program that would be simple to use.

    I'm not at all familiar with Adobe; you do need software that will properly encode the video so the DVD is readable by any DVD player. Top of the list would be iDVD with customizable menus to give your masterpiece that special look - no longer available from Apple, but still available as part of the retail iLife 09 or 11 disk - some resellers, including Amazon, still have it. Then there is Roxio Toast ($$) - excellent burn software, but no customizable anything. There is Burn (free) - it does what it says: burn. And there are others; you can google for them - I've tried several and prefer to use iDVD and Roxio Toast.

  • Burn a slide show

    How can I burn a slide show to a DVD playable on a DVD palyer and a TV?

    Thanks, that helped a lot. iPhoto 5 was already installed on this refurbished iMac and other than this one topic I don't plan to make a great deal of use of iphoto-that's why 5.1.4, and I asked in the 08 iDVD forum because the version of iDVD on my Mac Book Pro is newer,7.0.4 so I would assume more knowledge for burning the DVD could be found here, I didn't realize that someone would take offense at my using an old version of iphoto, but would appreciate it if you actually know something about the subject[missing fotos in a slide show] to share your experience-that is the reason for these forums and the moderator would have moved my message if it was totally off topic. Again, thanks for your help?

    how to burn slide show too a dvd-r in web superdrive plugged into the usb port

    I think this link will offer some good insight. I would recommend moving the library to an external HD if you are already using iPhoto on your MBP. If you do decide to move the library directly to your MBP just make sure you are using a different enough name for it that your MBP can easily locate each library independently.

  • Why can't I burn my slide show made in photoshop elements 13 to DVD.

    PE 13 makes a nice slide show, but I can't share it with anyone. I can only play it on my computer.
    How do I burn it to DVD. It does not give me that option.
    Do I have to buy an upgrade to be able to do it.?

    Thanks so much for your possible solution. If I can pull this off , I will no longer curse adobe PSE 13.
    I'm still a long was off to accomplish this goal but I will surely give it a try. H264 (mp4) is still Greek to me.

  • How do I download a slide show with captions and music to my IPad?  It is not happening when I sync.

    How do I download a slide show with captions and music to my IPad?  It is not happening when I sync.

    The way that you would transfer photos from iPhoto to the iPad would be to sync with iTunes. Connect the iPad to your Mac with the cable and launch iTunes. Select your iPad under the devices heading on the left. Then click on the Photos tab in the iTunes window on the right. You can select the folder from which you want to sync your photos in the drop down menu bar - so select iPhoto there. Then select the album or events that you want to sync from the windows below. After you have made your selections, click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
    I am not sure how the iPad will handle a slide show in the photos app that was created on your Mac. You can create basic slide shows on the iPad using the different albums, events or faces that you have in the Photo app, but as for the captioning that you have already set up, I don't know how that will work in the app when you sync the slide show.

  • How do I create a slide show in a separate, non iPhoto folder?

    I moved about a 1000 photos from iPhoto to a new folder I created in an external drive to save space in iPhoto. How do I create a slide show in the new folder? When I click a photo to enlarge it it goes into Preview mode which enables you to have a slide show. But do I have to click and enlarge all 1000 photos? There is bound to be a simpler way.
    Thanks,
    Max

    MaxFS,
    I see you are still using Jaguar, is this true?
    With Tiger (10.4) you can select all the photos in a folder
    control click on the photos and scroll to "slideshow"
    You can also select all the photos in the folder
    double click on the selection to have them open in Preview
    In preview use the option for a slideshow.
    This does tell me that you might have a newer version of OS X than what is noted in your specs.
    Also, I think there is a limit to the number of photos that will open in a slideshow or preview. It might be around 99 or 150 (I can't remember right now)
