How do I burn slideshow from iphoto to a dvd?

I am trying to burn a slideshow in iphoto directly to a dvd. I exported it to idvd, but have never used idvd and can't figure it out and don't have time right now. I just want to made a copy of a completed slideshow which exists in iphoto. Doesn't seem it should be this hard, but since I'm short on time, everything seems hard. Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks.

Do you want play the sideshow on a TV set? If so you need to use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option while in the slideshow mode. That will open iDVD and add the movie as a Quicktime file to the iDVD project.
Then make what changes to the theme of the project and use the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will create a disk image of the project. Open the disk image and launch DVD Player to play the DVD. If the disk image plays OK in DVD Player that's an indication that the encoding process was successful.
Next burn the disk image to disk using Disk Utility and burn at the slowest speed possible to ensure the best burn. Also use good quality disks like Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R. When you're done you'll be able to play the sideshow in any set top DVD player on a TV set.
If you just want a Quicktime movie version of your slideshow use the Export button at the bottom of the window and select size of the movie you want, usually medium or large.

Then you can drag the movie file onto an empty disk on the desktop to burn. However, this method will require you to have a computer with Quicktime installed in order to play the slideshow.

How do I burn a slidshow from iPhoto to a 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

How do I burn photos from macbook air to dvd to play on dvd player

how do I burn my photos to a dvd to be played on dvd player?

You also need to determine what kind of DVDs your player supports. My player will play discs with image files on it. Some players will even play files in mp4 format. If yours will only strictly play DVDs in DVD format then you have to author them with a tool such as iDVD (no longer sold).
If you are playing these at home you might see if you can ouptu video straight to the video device from your MBA.

Burning slideshows from IPhoto

I have assembled an album on IPhoto that I want to burn to a DVD disc. I have followed all the online help yet still find that I cannot achieve my goal. On the online help it states to click 'Share' then 'burn' but the 'burn' option isn't accessible (dimmed). Can anyone help me?
Many thanks.

It's a book that you're referring to. You should be able to get the Share ➙ iDVD menu to work if you've in the book mode. That will create a QT movie of the book and export to iDVD.
There's another way to get a book as a slideshow in an iDVD project:
1 - while in the All Pages mode of the book type Command+P to start a print job.
2- in the print window click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto" menu option.
3 - that will create a JPEG file for each page of the book and import them into iPhoto.
4 - select those files and use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option.
Now if the Share ➙ iDVD menu option is grayed out in all areas of iPhoto try this: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.

3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

How to Make DVD Slideshow From iPhoto? I need help !!!!!

What's the easiest way to import about 160 photos from iPhoto to a DVD with background music to send to Grandmom as a slideshow? She's 83 and really wants to see a bunch of pictures of her grandkids, and loves the DVDs I've done in the past (using iLife '06). I now have iLife 2009.
I have attempted to get a DVD with music to burn, but it isn't working. As in the past, I have gone from iPhoto, dropping the selected photos into iMovie, added music from iTunes, and imported that to iDVD but it takes Sooooooo long (seems like this route used to be faster). Any way shorter? More efficient?
I do it that way because I recall that iDVD in prior versions was restricted to 99 photos, so I always went from iPhoto to iMovie to iDVD. But '09 is different than '06; I can't even get music to import from iTunes or play on the DVD I burned using this rather long procedure(not copy protected, either). So, I'm at a loss.
What am I doing wrong? How do I do it correctly?
Step by step instructions would be much appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You have to have a theme but you can have the slideshow begin automatically when the disk is inserted into a DVD player. Go to the Map mode in iDVD and drag the slideshow into the blue box at the far left:
Click to view full size
But there has to be a theme for iDVD to drop back to when it finishes the slideshow. BUT you could set the slideshow to loop endlessly so it would never drop back to the theme unless you stopped it manually and exited to the theme. You set the repeat option in the Advanced menu.

How can I export a slideshow from iPhoto to iMovie 09. I try but it only lets me import 211 out of the 311 photos I have in the slideshow.

How can I export a slideshow from iPhoto to iMovie 09. I try, but it only exports 211 out of the 311 photos I have in the slideshow I made on iPhoto.

how do i change the format to the right one?
Before you can decide what to do, you have to know what you are starting with. Sony MPEG-1 files would be converted one way while DivX or WMV files would likely be handled in another. Extraneous tracks can be removed directly with QT Pro but if you don't have QT Pro then there may or may not be other work around possibilities depending on the specific audio and video compression formats in use. The best place to start would normally be to double-clic the source file in iPhoto to open it in the QT Player. When it opens in the QT Player, check the "Inspector" window to see what it says on the "Format:" lines. This will tell you the type of audio and video content you are dealing with here. Then come and tell us so we can offer some specific conversion solutions.

How do I burn photos from an iPhoto library album to a CD disk as jpegs?

How do I burn photos from an iPhoto library album to a CD disk as jpeg files? I'm wanting to burn the iPhoto library exactly as it appears in the "album", so they appear as jpegs, so you can't tell that the files have been edited in iPhoto. (I have edited some of the photos in iPhoto.)
I tried this using the "share/burn" menu option, however, it included the original files, which defeats the purpose of editing them.
Any suggestions?

Select the pics in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pics to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to CD with the Finder.

HT4718 After burning a slideshow from iPhoto export to a DVD, it will not play on my DVD player OS X 10.9.4

iMac 27' OS X 10.9.4 I burned a slideshow from iPhoto export to a DVD and now it will not play back on anything. The player said Unknown disc. What can i do?

I do find that using one of these programs will reduce the sharpness of the photos.
Granted, I've never used iPhoto - I use Photo to Movie for slideshows and various versions of iMovie for videos, but my pics are excellent quality and my videos are shot in 1080p (better camera) or 720p (small camera) and the results are superb on my TV using both iDVD and Toast. However, I do not encode in iDVD, I simply use it to add a theme and menus. The encoding is done by Photo to Movie, or iMovie 06 HD (the only version ever to process losslessly) and either/both are imported into iDVD as a complete .mov, or Toast.
Since using those methods, I've never had a problem with the sharpness or crispness of my footage. My eyes cannot discern a difference between my "production" and true HD (unless of course I shook the camera while shooting, LOL).

Exporting slideshow from iphoto to idvd /message says" disc is full"

when exporting slideshow from iphoto to idvd /message says" disc is full" It is a new mac with 2gb extra memory. I have cleared out all extraneous files, so there should be room on the disc. Help, this is a student''s work and would love to help them burn the dvd slideshow.

Patricia
IS this your Hard Disk is full?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of HD space to function normally. It uses this space for things like Virtual Memory and temporary files and other OS operations.
I have cleared out all extraneous files, so there should be room on the disc
How did you do this? Did you empty the trash?

Sending Slideshows from iPhoto

I've created a slideshow (with music) in iPhoto (08) and would like to share this with my family. How do I do this? I tried uploading to youtube.com a while back but the quality was horrible! Is there a better way to share my slideshows from iphoto (with music) and/or video with people? (both mac users and pc users)
I am sure it can be done - I see people's videos and photo slideshows with music all the time on their blogs. I just don't know how to do it. I hope someone can help or point me in the right direction.

Patti:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. See my response in Q: how to save book as slideshow? for ways to save the slideshow as a QT movie and one way to create an iDVD slideshow from it. As far as the iDVD is concerned for your slideshow you would add your QT movie file to an iDVD project and burn to disk. If you don't use the KB effect in the movie you can create the slideshow in iDVD with the same music and get a higher quality image in the final product that with adding a QT movie. But that's just my opinion.
To get it to the web you would have to use QT Pro or a 3rd party application to reduce the file size before adding to a Web Gallery in iPhoto or an iWeb site. You can learn about the best way to go about that over in the iWeb forum. Some top notch Quicktime gurus over there.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
