How do I go from QTPro to iDVD? Powermac G-5 with os X 10.5.8

How do I burn DVDs from QTPro? DVDs made from iMovie are of poor quality. Apple Store "Genius" suggested exporting from iMovie to QTPro, and then to iDVD. Upgraded to QTPro but can not find a way to burn a DVD from there.

How do I burn DVDs from QTPro?
You don't. The movies, standalone or reference, if QT compatible on your system, are simply dropped/added/imported to iDVD. IDVD handles the conversion of the video to MPEG-2, the conversion of the audio to PCM, and the multiplexing of the two in preparation for burning, as well as, the building of menus and auto-chaptering if desired.
The main question here is whether or not you need to process/export the files via iMovie. If all you want to do is burn content, whether imported by iMovie (MPEG-2, AVCHD, HDV, or DV) from your camcorder, content captured/copied directly to your hard drive, or content downloaded/extracted from other sources, then simply drop/move/import the QT compatible files directly to iDVD.
If you need to trim and/or join files, then you can use QT 7 Pro to do this and save the results as either a "reference" or "standalone" file which can then be moved to iDVD. In either case, you avoid having to export the content using the normal iMovie H.264 codec which greatly compresses the data before re-compressing it to a somewhat less compressed format for burning.
If the content must be processed in/exported by iMovie, then custom compress the iMovie project to one of the low-compression formats (e.g., AIC or DV) or at most, a medium compression format (e.g., Motion-JPEG or Photo-JPEG) and move the resulting files to iDVD for burning. The object of all of these various strategies is to prevent the excessive loss of "detail" data commonly lost/thrown out during high compression/limited data rate processing.
Apple Store "Genius" suggested exporting from iMovie to QTPro, and then to iDVD.
What the "Genius" probably meant was to share the file using the "Export using QuickTime" option.
Upgraded to QTPro but can not find a way to burn a DVD from there.
There is no "Send to iDVD" option in QT 7 Pro. Simply open the iDVD application, create an appropriate project using your choice of settings/theme and move/drop/import your file(s) to the iDVD project.

How do I move from iMovie to iDvd?

I am new user to both iMovie and iDvd (both in iLife 09). I have made my first movie in iMovie and it is 1 hour 49 minutes. How do I get the movie to iDvd? I tried Share, iDvd, and it worked away for an hour, then gave me an error message that the movie exceeds maximum content duration? Huh? I saw some postings about that and to change encoding settings, but do not know where those are.
If I go to iDvd, I thought if I went to Media and iMovie, it should show all movies in there, but my movie does not show up in that area. It is in iMovie in the Project area in both an original and duplicate form. How do I get my movie into iDvd for best quality, what kind of settings do I need, and where do I do that?

I think I found the answer to my question. According to a message I got in iDvd when attempting to open the movie I was told that I should choose Share, Media Browser. Seems like it should be Share, iDvd, but that is what it says. Also, I found the setting in Preferences for encoding and see I need to make it Professional. Guess I had a misunderstanding of encoding, too. I thought that would not be relevant until burning a cd, but evidently it is involved when taking the movie from iMovie to iDvd.

How does apple want me to create a DVD to play on my DVD player from iMovie? iDVD did not come with my iMac.

I have created several home movies in imovie and am now ready to burn them to DVDs that family members can play on their DVD players. How am I supposed to do this? iDVD did not come with my imac. How does apple want us to do this? Thanks.

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it, and how do I install it?
Apple insists that the entire world has access to fast broadband (and are prepared to pay for the considerable bandwidth usage) and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud, YouTube, Facebook, whatever) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. Some purchasers of new iMacs have reported that if you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone to Apple, they may send you a free copy of iDVD. Stating that they would return their brand new Mac unless they received a copy of iDVD worked for some, but that is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple.
Also, you can complain bitterly via Apple’s Feedback link, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between burning DVDs and distributing home movies by other means. You may feel that Apple should not dictate how you destribute family videos or photos to distant relatives and friends, and should not assume that every user is prepared to pay for the excessive bandwidth usage charged by ISPs for huge downloads from the App Store:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or that comes with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. As there is no satisfactory substitute for iDVD Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.
It is worth noting that the version of iDVD 7 included with iLife 11 only includes themes from iDVD 5-7. If you want all the older themes you should buy iLife 9, which has the same version of iDVD 7 but with all the themes, and none of the iDVD 7 updaters available from Apple Downloads contain them.
Currently the only certain way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-21006826-20751 4/Installer001.jpg
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-21006826-20748 0/Pacifist001.jpg
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
But even though you can still buy iLife 9 or 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
When you try to install iDVD you may see a notice come up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March 2012, because Apple have withdrawn the license to it can no longer be used.
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After installing iDVD reset the time back to the correct time on your Mac.
You may be to use able to use the installer even without setting back the date. Just click on the Continue button and it should work as expected, but for some it will not continue unless the date is set back.
Additional comments:
Apple has clearly indicated in the newest iMacs, Mac mini and Retina Display MacBook Pro that it plans to phase out optical disc drives as soon as possible across the board, providing an external USB drive as an option for users who need one but which is not universally compatible with all Macs.
Users increasingly have fewer opportunities to use optical drives, as the bulk of third party software is now available as a digital download either directly from the vendor or through Apple's App Store. but not all. Apple also sees digital distribution as the future of music and movies, as exemplified in Apple TV, which has never included an optical drive.
The company has never supported any new HD optical disc formats on its products, including Microsoft's ill fated HD-DVD or Sony's Blu-ray format, despite initially being involved in the Blu-ray standardization process. Instead, Apple has put its resources behind developing increasingly higher definition audio and video formats that it can distribute electronically through its own iTunes Store.
And if you think Microsoft are any better, their latest Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced: http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/
In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that. Flexibility and intuitive use of a computer seems to be a thing of the past.
The latest anorexic iMacs do not even include a CD drive (or Firewire)! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of optical media - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

How do I export from imovieHD to idvd without themes?

Hi there. I am still trying to get to grips with imovie, being a relative newcomer to Apple. I have arranged my video footage as I want it in imovie, and now want to burn the DVD, however I just want to keep it as plain footage, ie without the themes and music that you get when you send it to iDVD. I know I am probably being really thick but I can't work out how to do this! Many thanks, Ruth

Was wondering,how do I go from GarageBand on ipad2 to multiplatinum producer with diamond inlays on my teeth,is there an upgrade I missed,..reall,simple...how do I post music from GarageBand for ipad2 onto Facebook....thanks.

How does one get music from GarageBand on ipad2 to post on Facebook

I worked with the problem last night and the solution I
started coming to involved creating my own custom document class
based off which extends MovieClip. My thought is that way I have
access to the initialization routine of the timeline itself and
that all of the elements on the main timeline should be
"properties" of my custom class.
Is this correct? Is there a down side to doing this & if
so what is it & why?
Also, just for my reference, the last time I did anything
with ActionScript I think I was using '_root' to target the main
timeline. WHat are the global variable names in AS 3? Is it just
'root' & 'stage' or 'Root' & 'Stage' or what?

How to union results from 3 different dimensions in where clause with or - Mdx query

Hi
I have a MDX Query and i need to pass the variable values to it by dynamically.
Each time it will get any one attribute from three dimensions.
Select
{} ON Columns,
{} ON Rows
From
Cube
Where
[Dimension1].[Attribut].&[Value]
or
[Dimension2].[Attribut2].&[Value]
or
[Dimension3].[Attribut3].&[Value]
So It is working for two different values by using union and cross join.
Can you please provide the solution ..
Thanks in advance

Hi Philip
Thanks for replying me.
I tried on that way, In my mdx query i am using one slice attribute (i.e [Customer].[Gender].allmembers) in rows so getting error "The Hierarchy already appears in Axis1".
SELECT
{[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] } ON 0,
NON EMPTY
{[Customer].[Gender].allmembers } ON 1 -- Used
FROM
[Adventure Works]
WHERE
[Customer].[Gender].&[M]
,[Product].[Size Range].[(All)]

,[Product].[Size Range].&[XL]
,[Customer].[Country].[All Customers]
[Customer].[Gender].[All Customers]
,[Product].[Size Range].[(All)]
,[Customer].[Country].&[Australia]
Can you provide alternate ways to get resolved.
Thanks in advance

How do I move from one keynote slide to the next with ios8?, How do I move from one keynote slide to the next with ios8?

I don't seem to be able to move from one simple keynote slide to the next.
I just have text on each - like notes for a presentation.

Howdy tommmy,
To go to the next slide in a Keynote for iOS presentation, tap on the screen with one finger. See this article for information about gestures in Keynote -
Keynote for iOS (iPad): Touchscreen basics for Keynote
Tap
Using one finger, quickly and firmly touch the screen and then lift your finger. Use this gesture to select an object or activate a button. You also use this gesture to advance to the next slide when playing a presentation.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

How to get username from audible account if one is associated with the store account

So, I noticed, while de-authorizing a previous computer of an itunes store account, that an audible account was available for deauthorization as well. I never authorized an audible account, and I'm not getting any help from apple about retaining a username if you never created one. shady

Have you ever had an account with audible.com ? If not then you won't have one to deauthorise - the option to deauthorise one shows in the Advanced menu on my iTunes, even though I haven't currently got one authorised on it. If you have got an audible account and you have authorised it on that computer then Apple won't know what it is, as the account would be with audible.com, not Apple.

How to delete elements from a cluster?

Hello. I would like to know how to delete elements from a cluster. I got stuck with this problem. There is its own order of each element in a cluster. I tried to initiate an array but it seems like too complicated. In the attached file, I want to obtain only the data from "flow" not "pressure". I try to use array programming but it doesn't work. Would be nice if you help me to fix the file. Thanks
Solved!

What about if I want to store data into the pressure array too? Do I have to create another loop or it can be done in the same loop as the flow loop?
Try this, for example. Modify as needed.
