How do I create chapters in idvd?

I don't have much experience using idvd. I have created a couple of small dvd's in the past, but would like to make one with my movie divided into scenes and chapters that we can choose from the menu.
I read the instructions Apple Help and clicked the movie once to highlight it. Then I clicked on Advanced tab and the Create Chapter markers for movie, was not highlighted. Aaargh!
Is there a step I'm missing? I had alread tried taking each section of my movie as it's own project in imovie and Sharing it to Media to create them separately, but I can't find those when I'm choosing media in idvd.
Can someone help?

In iDVD chapters can only be added at preset intervals. After adding the full movie to iDVD select it and go to the Advanced menu:
Set the interval for the chapters in the next window:
If you want chapter markers at specific points in the window you'll have to add those in iMovie or whatever app you use to create the movie.

How can I create chapters in iMovie 10?

How can I create chapters in iMovie 10?

Apple has discontinued iDVD and the newest version of iMovie no longer offers chapter markers.

How do you add chapters in IDVD 9

How do you add chapters in IDVD 9?

You will see the Chapter markers on the top menu bar. Drag them into a frame of your movie.
Also, you will need to go to iMovie/Preferences and enable Advanced Tools to see the markers.

How do you create chapters in the iMovie version 10.0.3

I've been unable to find how to create chapters in the new iMovie IOS since its had serveral updates from iMovie 11.
I don't want to buy another movie creation program, but the new versions seem to have less and less movie edit/creation features.

Hi doc - if you have installed iMovie 08, then you are entitled to download iMovie HD6 from here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/iMovieHD6
Many people who are unhappy with 08 are using this instead.

How do i create chapters of a book in Adobe Reader?

My English 101 professor has given us thee entire text book for this semester in a .pdf file. It is very hard to navigate through. is there a way i can manually group the pages, creating chapters? i want to upload it for our entire class as a revision.
I am runinng Adobe Reader X 10.1.4
Thanks,
Du-Marc Mills

You cannot edit PDF files with Adobe Reader; you will need Adobe Acrobat.
If this is a one-time task, download the trial version of Acrobat, which will be fully functional for 30 days.
However, normally such a task should be performed on the original document, before the PDF is created.

How do I create a new iDVD project without a theme

I completed an iMovie HD project with an opening title (white letters on black) and all my edited film clips, transitions, sound, etc. It's just the way I want it when I play it back in iMovie. I shared it to Media Browser so I could import it into iDVD. When I start the new iDVD project is appears to force me to choose a Theme. I don't want a new theme. I just want my movie to look just the way I created in iMovie. How do I over ride this step?

A couple of ways to do this ....
1. What I recommend is an "AutoStart Dvd" which involves dragging and dropping your QT movie / file while in mapview to the first / top box. This allows the movie to play in Kiosk Mode and you can also select the loop function so essentially you never actually see a start menu (just the movie) since the dvd will automatically play as soon as it's inserted into most set top dvd players or computers. (the following pic is from iDvd6 however the procedure is idential in iDvd'08 as well).

2. A One Step Dvd from a QT movie / file is also possible and this approach has no menu at all.
To burn a OneStep DVD from a movie on your hard disk:
With iDVD open, choose File > “OneStep DVD from Movie.” as pictured above.
Locate the movie you want to add in the dialog that opens, then click Import.
Insert a blank DVD disc into your computer’s SuperDrive or an external drive when you are prompted to do so.
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

How do I create chapters at random intervals?

I want to add chapters to my movie. Not at 3, 5 or 10 minute intervals but where ever I want them. I create DVD's of basketball and football games and I would like to have chapters at the quarters. Is there an easy way to do this with FCE? I cannot seem to find an easy way with iMovie/iDVD, and am contemplating on purchasing FCE.
Does FCE offer a lot of value (features) over iMovie?

You can put a chapter marker wherever you want. As long it's at least a second away from another one. And not at the start of the sequence.

How do I add chapters in iDVD?

Before judging me, please read my entire question.
I am asking for help in iDVD, not iMovie. I just finished adding video to my project. I read that if you want to add chapters to your movie, you go to the Advanced tab and click on Add Chapters. I did this, but the Add Chapters selection is GRAYED OUT! I cannot select it. How do I get it to ungray itself? Please, I don't know what else to do. Thanks.

You will have the best chance of an answer if you post in the iDVD Forum here:

Brian,
In iDVD 4 it's Project>Add Folder and in iDVD 6 it's Project>Add Submenu
I don't have iDVD 5 running on a machine right now so I'm not sure what it's called in iDVD 5.

Best way to create chapters for IDVD

Ok, so I got ILife '08 and downloaded this for free so I could make chapters. Let's say I take a whole feed from my VCR to my computer using the Elgato Hybrid. What is the easiest way to make clips using iMovie? Should I split the clips into smaller clips, or use the part about chapters?

I use iDVD because it is easy to use.
My head is already crammed with HD, Avid, FCP, After Effects Photoshop, Pro Tools and Grass Valley information...not to mention all the knowledge on the art of the edit...so that I don't have much room left for DVDsp.

How do I create a DVD in imovie

I was wondering how do I create chapters in imovie.. I used to use the old one, and now am trying to use the latest version and am completely lost. I looked at the tutorial, and that did not help. All I want to do is use clips I already have, and then separate them into chapters. No editing needed.
Thanks so much

Does this help?

Creating Chapters in PDF documents?

How do you create chapters in PDF documents, similar to the way Apple has done it with their user manual PDFs on the support section?

Hi Allen,
I spent a bit of time looking at your interesting query, but am afraid I cannot find any solution to it.
If you want to send the document via email, and therefore need the hyperlink, your best bet might be to send it as an HTML document. I don't know if you can achieve the transformation to an HTML document using traditional SAPScript though, but it is possible with Smartforms.

How can I insert chapters in my idvd slideshow?

I am making a slideshow for a family event, marking different times in my couin's life. How can I insert chapters marking different pictures from various milestones? (i.e. birth, growing up, etc.) Is it even possible to do that?

Are you building this slidesshow from still photos in iDVD or in another app and exporting it into iDVD?
If you're building the slideshow in iDVD from stills each still is a chapter and you can't have just the few chapters you'd like.
If you build the slideshow in iMovie you can add chapter markers at the milestone photos.
As Bengt mentioned iMovie HD 6 is best for end quality. When you get the movie exactly as you want it all you need to do is close iMovie and drag the project file into iDVD as shown in the video screenshot below:
Click to play video screenshot
That will avoid iMovie encoding the movie and then iDVD reecoding it which will lessen the quality.
If you add your chapter markers in the current iMovie version and export to Media Browser or to a folder inside your Movie folder you can drag it into iDVD from the Media Browser (which, I learned from Bengt, gives the highest qualtiy) and it will bring with it the chapters.
If you export the movie not to the Media Browser but to the Movie folder the movie must be located in a subfolder of the Movie folder for the Media Browser to recognize it.
As long as you have chapters added to your video file and iDVD's preferences are set to include chapters all you need to do is drag the video file into iDVD and it will automatically create a Scene Selection menu with the chapters.

Exported slideshow from Iphoto11 to IDVD 7.12 so I could burn DVD for play on DVD player. Fine but show stops 1/2way through because DVD has 2 chapters. How do I eliminate chapters?

I exported slideshow from Iphoto 11 to IDVD 7.12 so I could burn DVD for play on DVD player. Fine, but then when playing on DVD player show stops about 12 way and starts over. Seems there are 2 chapters in show. I wan t show to play straight through until end. How do I elimiante chapters or solve problem. Thanks. Bob Low

Try this workflow:
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 and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was 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.
Play the disk image with DVD Player and see if you get the same start over half way thru.
Did you create the slideshow in iPhoto in the slideshow mode?
or were you in an album and then used the Share ➙ iDVD menu option? What I'm trying to find out is if the slideshow in iDVD is a movie file or an iDVD slideshow with the photos from iPhoto? If it's the latter how many photos in the slideshow?

Is there a way to create DVD chapters in iDVD?

Is there a way to create DVD chapters in iDVD? I don't see any options for it in iDVD. Also, I don't want to have to import all the footage back into imovie. Thanks

So, what if iDVD 7.1.2 doesn't recognize the chapters from iMovie 10.0.5?
Apple has removed the ability to create chapters in iMovie 10
I use iMovie 06 to do this. It works perfectly with Mavericks, as does iDVD. You can purchase iMovie on disk as part of iLife 06, readily available on Amazon and eBay.
It's quite shocking that another feature has been removed from the once mighty iMovie.
