How do I burn a slide show to dvd that will play in a dvd player

I want to burn a slideshow from iphoto to a dvd to show on a tv using a dvd player. I'm running Mountain Lion.

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 qualty 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 retailier 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 playlist to a disc which will play in any CD player?

I am trying to burn a playlist to a disc that I can play in a CD player. I have a HP Lightscribe DVD/CD burner. The software is Cyberlink Power2Go. I have wasted two blank dvd discs so far. They will play on my computer, but that's not what I need. I want to play them in a regular CD player, such as I have in my truck.
When I choose "audio CD" I get a message that "I have chosen a CD but have inserted a blank DVD" and it won't let me choose anything else.

You need to burn onto CD-R or CD-RW discs. You cannot burn to a blank DVD disc for the purposes of playing CD-Audio. They are different media with different characteristics, just like you can't play a DVD in a CD player.

Burning a slide show on DVD

I've created a slide show in iPhoto using a song which plays 2 1/2 times. When I try to burn the slide show on to a DVD It only plays the song once and stops. How do I burn the slide show at its full length?

As per my understanding, you created a slideshow in PSE organizer and now want to burn into DVD using Output dialog which launches PRE...
Which application crashes and at which step??
Through PSE you can output the video into PDF or Video...

I am using using IDVD to create slide shows. When viewed on my computer the pictures are clear and of high quality. When I burn the slide show to a disk and play it back, the pictures are blurry and of poor quality.

I am using IDVD to create slide shows. When viewed on my computer, the pictures are clear and of high quality. When I burn the slide show to a disk and play it back, the pictures are blury and of poor quality. Is there a setting that controls the quality of the burn and if there is, where do I find it? Thank you.

The Mac software - iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD are not the best with the Ken Burns effect (zoom in/out effect), so you might want to minimize that effect; also, if your subjects are wearing stripes for instance, that will have an effect if you zoom. There is better software available for slideshows; however, I do not know of any that is free (and does a good job). I've used Photo to Movie for some time; it does a fine job even in HD, but you have to pay for it. I use iDVD extensively, but only to add a menu, theme, special effects, etc. and then to burn it.

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:

No music when i burn my slide show to dvd in idvd

I selected the share to burn I slide show. This opened the idvd and transfered the info to it. I was able to burn a dvd, but the music did not transfer.
I am not able to open and edit the drop box to add music. I dont know what to try. Thanks.

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 save my slideshow in a format that will play on my DVD player?

How do I save my slideshow to a DVD that will play in my DVD player?

afaik, no, iMovie also relies on iDVD to do the actually burning to DVD.
If you are looking for free software to do that, have a look at "SimplyBurns". SimplyBurns rev416
I never tried it, since I have iDVD installed as part of the iLife Package, so I cannot vouch for it.

Burning HD content using DVDSP 4 that will play on Toshiba HD-XA2

How can I burn HD content using DVD Studio Pro 4 that will play on my Toshiba HD-XA2 DVD player? And if it is possible, can I burn it to DVD-R Discs or do I need a different kind of disc?
Thanks

I never had luck with the A2. I would try either the A1 or the Xbox player to see if that works. There were alot of bugs in both DVDSP builds and players. DVDSP makes whats called "Standard Content" HD DVDs. Toshiba had alot of bugs with these titles - even with few replicated titles for HD DVD (Earth, Wind and Fire/Chicago ) was one of them. Have you updated the firmware?

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.

Why can't I burn my slide show to DVD in photoshop elements 13. Do I have to buy another program update .?

Photo shop elements make a nice slide show but will not let me burn it to DVD which makes it useless to me.

Burning TV shows from itunes to a dvd that will play in a normal player

I can burn a disk, but it will only play in computer. Not on system in home. Any way to accomplish this?
Tracy

I'm going to return the Blu-Ray DVD player unless it will be useful to have when I have made DVD projects with my Sony HDR-SR11. AVCHD 1920X1080i. This may be a question for a different forum at this point. Sorry in advance if thats the case.

How to export Aperture slide shows to dvd player

I'm finding plenty of iPhoto suggestions but nothing specific to Aperture. When I export a slideshow using classic and its defaults the exported result is a .MOV file. It won't play in the DVD. I have not idea what kind of player will end up being the one of choice for the person I doing this for but I need a format that is universal,...if there is such a thing....AVI maybe? Anyway I tried changing the default to Mpeg4 and the end product was still a .MOV. The file Info says the codec is mpeg4 but since the extention is still .MOV I'm guessing it still won't play.
Sure could use some help,
Steve

After you export from Aperture you need to add the movie to an iDVD project. iDVD is required to create a disk in the specific format that your DVD player requires.

How to burn iTunes audio book to CD that will play in my car

I purchased two audio books from the iTunes music store. I have no intention of sitting at my computer for twelve hours listening to the books. I intend to listen to the books on my car CD player during long road trips. When I try to convert the files I get a message that says that they can't be converted because they are protected files. How can I play them on a CD in my car?

I THINK my iTunes preferences were already set to "Audio CD" on my first, failed attempt. For this failed attempt I simply hit the burn icon in the upper right of iTunes. When I followed your advise my preferences were already set as you suggested but this time I used one of the pull-down menus along the top to select "burn playlist to ....". This worked perfectly. Problem solved. Thanks for your help.
