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.

  • Burning an iPhoto slideshow onto a DVD

    How can I burn an iPhoto slideshow onto a DVD?  I have created a slideshow with music but cannot determine how to burn it to a DVD.  I've tried to use iDVD but cannot figure it out.  I need very basic instructions, please.
    Thank you!

    Depends on information you do not supply - but burn a slide show to DVD export it to the desktop as a QuickTime movie and the using the finder burn it to dial - it can be played on any device that can play QuickTime
    To play on a DVD player it must be authored which requires iDVD or other authoring software like Toast - neither involves iPhoto - there is a iDVD forum and Toast has a support forum

  • How do you burn an iPhoto slideshow onto dvd?

    I am trying to burn an iPhoto slideshow onto DVD - any tips? Thanks!

    If you want to create a video DVD that will play on a set top DVD player to your TV read the following:
    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.

  • How to I get an iPhoto slideshow onto a DVD?

    I have made a slideshow for my brother's memorial service.  I have exported it out of iPhoto (.mov file).  I cannot seem to get it into iDVD correctly to get to my final product which is a DVD that will play on a "regular" DVD player at the funeral home.  Please help!   It has taken a lot of time to get this slideshow done and I need to get the DVD ASAP!   I have an OSX 10.8.2.

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

    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

  • Putting iphoto slideshow onto a DVD

    I saved my iphoto slideshow to Quick Time Player, but when I try to send it to imovie I get the message "imovie has not been setup". Is there another way to put a iphoto slideshow onto a DVD without having to do the whole thing over on imovie?

    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium, 640 x 480.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.

  • How do I burn an iMovie project onto a DVD?

    I have recently completed an iMovie project, and I want to burn the project onto a DVD. I have exported the project and burnt it, but it only opens with iTunes and Quicktime, and I was hoping to play the movie on a DVD player. I am desperate and need assistance ASAP !!

    When in iMovie, click Share then iDVD. In iDVD you can customize your dvd menu. After you are done, then click File, Burn DVD or ⌘+R. And it will ask you to insert your blank disk and then it will start burning. After it has completed the burn, it will ask you if you want to make another disk (if you want multiple copies). Your movie should then be viewable on any DVD player.

  • How do I get an iPhoto slideshow onto DVD?

    I've done photo slideshows before, but tried this one in iPhoto and now can't get to a DVD.  Should I use iDVD or iMovie?  Thanks!

    There are two ways to create a slideshow and get it into an iDVD project: 1 - create the slideshow in iPhoto's slidesahow mode and use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option.  This creates a Quictime movie and imports it into iDVD; 2 -put the photos you want to be in the slideshow into an album, select them and use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option.  This imports the photos into an iDVD slideshow.  There you assign a transition, add the music playlist, finish up the iDVD project and burn.
    So If you have the photos in iPhoto you can recreate the slideshows in one of those two ways and get them into iDVD. This would be far superior to ripping your current DVD to get the slideshow movies out of it.

  • Burning an iphoto slideshow to a DVD question???

    I have created a 30 minute slideshow in iphoto with Ken Burns (550 pics), transitions, and music. What is the best way to burn this to a DVD? I like creating it in iphoto because it places random KB effects on each photo. Will it stay intact if I just share it to iDVD or is their a better method? Also, when I try to adjust the length of time a particular slide displays I am not able to change the number of seconds (the up/down arrow is not visible). Thanks for any suggestions.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Share -> Send to iDVD
    Some folks find that their timings can go off a little. If so, then you can
    a: Make the slideshow in iDVD, but you won't have the Ken Burns Effec
    b: Make the slideshow in an app that has much more control such as iMovie or PhotoToMovie

  • How do I burn several Video_TS folders onto one DVD?

    A cousin had some very old (as early as 1929!) film converted and burned to three DVDs, of them short (the total run time is under an hour). What's the best way to combine them into one DVD so I can duplicate it and send to other family members? I'm copying the VIDEO_TS files but am leery of re-naming them for fear of confusing Toast 7.
    Can iDVD6 help do this more simply?

    How fabulous!
    The old family movies I converted to DVDs were only from 1958!
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS folders back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip (you just drop the TS folder into the Streamclip window):
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    (Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal. )
    Once in iMovie you can edit the 'stray bits' out, have each old movie as a chapter etc.
    Then send it to iDVD for burning, or use Toast.

  • PLEASE HELP! When I try try burning my iPhoto slideshow to a DVD, it stops within the last few minutes and says it can't.

    It just stops last minute.

    You could try a different brand of DVD. You could post in the iPhoto forum where those experts are.

  • Burn a iPhoto slideshow to dvd

    I can't figure out how to burn an iPhoto slideshow to a dvd.  I created the slideshow and clicked on "export", the popup shows the different sizes, and a checked box that says "automatically to iTunes". From iTunes, I'm told to right click to burn the dvd.  But I'm not seeing any options to burn cd

    Export the slideshow from iPhoto, that makes a movie of it.
