How do I copy video into iDVD to burn a DVD w/o using iMOVIE?

Aloha from Hawaii! I want to make a DVD copy of the video tape on my Sony digital 8 camcorder. I initally tried using iMovie but the timeline could not hold the whole tape.
I am trying to copy a pile of old family tapes. I want a single DVD of each tape so later (when I have the time) I could reimport them and make home movies.
Thanks

Hi theburlaon and welcome!

Did you try to import the entire tape as one huge clip? Better to set it to, say, 5 minute clips.
I want a single DVD of each tape so later (when I have the time) I could reimport them and make home movies
Bad idea IMO. DVD is the final delivery format, not intended for editing. Converting back from mpeg2 (DVD format) to DV format (what iMovie likes) will result in a substantial quality loss.
Just hang on to the tapes until you are ready to do the job properly, via iMovie and iDVD.

    But How i can copy video's or movies from my pc to itunes.no any option found

    First, you need to get them into iTunes & verify they are in a format that will be playable on your phone:

    Once you do that, then sync them to your phone:

  • How do I insert video into my webpage?

    I am using Dreamweaver 8. I have taken my camcorder video and uploaded it to youtube and copied the mp4 file to my hard drive.
    I have created a page with several videos on the page. I created a screenshot of the video and sized it to the appropriate size. I then created a link to the video mp4 file. However it opens in a separate page.
    I want to have the video open on the same page in the same location as the screenshot. Click on the image and it just starts playing.
    I notice that I can get it to do this if it is a flash (.flv) file but since all of my videos are mp4 that won't work.
    How do I insert video into my webpage? Do I convert the mp4 files to flash? How? What do I do?
    Thanks

  • Error when putting video into iDVD

    I've tried the numerous ways to put my iMovie video into iDVD, but all of them come up with the same error message:
    Unsupported filetype: broken reference movie in:
    I would appreciate any help because I am on a deadline.
    Thank you,
    wychehaesel

    More background would be helpful about what you've tried - generally you'll have greater success importing into iDVD (drag/drop, File/Import, or using iDVD Preferences) rather than exporting. What happens when you preview your iMovie? Have you moved or modified Any assets or iMovie files after finishing your movie editing?

  • How can I make slides into movies to show on DVDs?

    I have just scanned about a thousand of my 91 year old Dad's slides and have been trying to transfer them to discs, so that they can be easily played on a DVD player so that he doesn't have to go through that oldfashioned slide show procedure with the projector.
    I scanned them, edited them using Photostudio and then dragged them into iMovie. 99 seemed to be the maximum number of photos I could get to burn onto a DVD. (Using Roxio Toast)
    After a lot of trial and error, I thought I had done it successfully, but now find they don't work even as a slide show (clicking on from one to the other with the DVD remote), let alone as movies. I had arranged them into categories and made movies of about 50 each, with transitions.
    The first major problem became apparent after the first few were done, when I realised that iMovie tends to prefer NTSC to PAL and sometimes reverts to NTSC of it's own accord. (I'm in Australia, where PAL is the standard)
    I gave up on trying to select music to go with the photos, as when I tried to select the movie to burn, the music would not be there.
    I found that about 10 seconds duration was best for each photo, and tried selecting all to add the same Ken Burns transition to each one. I thought by keeping each disc to only a few 'slide shows' of about 15 minutes duration each I had finally got it right, but apparently it won't play on Dad's DVD player.
    I would like step-by-step instructions on exactly how I should go about this project, as it seems I will have to do it all again. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Casuarina,
    It would really help if the machine you are using has iDVD. If it did you would use iMove to create slideshows then drag them into iDVD, customize the DVD with a them, music, etc. then burn the DVD.
    You can also do all the slideshow (99 images each) right within iDVD, then burn the DVD.
    Macs are great, but you need the right software, and iDVD is what you need to make DVDs.
    There is a hack to be able to burn a DVd with iDVD using an external or non-supported burner.
    There is more information in this thread

    How do I copy FOLDERS to or from my iPad/iPhone/iPod touch using iTunes File Sharing?
    I know how to copy files to or from using iTunes file sharing but it doesnt seem to allow copying of folders

    From your PC or Mac, you can copy a folder (and it's contents) into the DropBox folder. It will then sync ans will be available in your DropBox app on the iPad.
    GoodReader includes built in connectivity to DropBox, will pick up the contents and then allow you to easily copy files to other folders within it, as well as open files in other apps on your iPad.

  • How can I delete the video and keep the Audio  in a few frames using Imovie 11

    How can I delete the video and keep the Audio  in a few frames using Imovie 11?

    I've met the problem too before. but i solved it with  Audio Converter Mac instead of iMovie. If you have similar situation that just want to keep audio but not video, and if your file format is not workable in iMovie, you can use the Audio Converter for help too. it can easily help to extract audio soundtrack from any video format. Or if you need to convert one audio format to another, it is a good choice too, because it supports many common audio output formats.

  • How can I transfer video taken with my iPhone to my iPad WITHOUT using a computer or iTunes? I'm going to Europe for a month and want to use my iPhone to take pics and video, then come back to the hotel room and use my iPad to edit/store each evening.

    How can I transfer video taken with my iPhone to my iPad WITHOUT using a computer or iTunes? I'm going to Europe for a month and want to use my iPhone to take pics and video, then come back to the hotel room and use my iPad to edit/store each evening. I don't want to use my iPad to take the video...too large/bulky. And I WON'T have a computer with me...I purchased the iPad to take with me so I could use the RDC to my home computer and avoid taking my computer at all. Is this possible?

    here is a cheaper solution than camera kit and a lot easier if you have WIFI available.
    I use the PhotoSync APP (I think its a $1.99) will transfer videos and photos over WIFI to any other IOS device or even PC/MAC. Great app since I like doing video and photos on my IPHONE and transfer to IPAD2 without synching through computer or doing cloud based storage.
    You can even send photos/videos from your MAC/PC to your IOS devices that way too. Makes it so much easier.

  • Is it better to export an iMovie project as QT and use Toast to burn a DVD for general use or to export to iDVD and burn VD from there?  Why?

    Is it better to export an iMovie project as QT and use Toast to burn a DVD for general use -  or to export iMovie project to iDVD and burn DVD from there?  Why?

    Toast probably maintains better quality if you are just doing simple conversion direct from your camera straight into Toast and then to DVD. There's a lot less transcoding steps and loss of quality in that direct to DVD disk creation in Toast. However, having said that,...There's good arguments probably for both.
    What I've seen promoted most often (as most people don't have Toast or aren't motivated to buy it) is to Share to Media Browser (choose the Large size option) and then from inside iDVD click the Media Button and the Movies button to find the project under the iMovie star icon in the Media Browser window. Drag that project into your iDVD project and burn the disk.
