How do I make a simple DVD with chapters?

I have a quicktime sequence that is saved with chapter markers exported from Final Cut Pro. The sequence is about 1hr30 min long, and has about 70 chapter markers. I just need a simple DVD that can play through the whole sequence, or have the ability to have an index where I can jump to any chapter. How can I do this...especially without using one of Apple's pre-designed templates? Is this something I could also do in iDVD?

How can I do this...especially without using one of Apple's pre-designed templates? Is this something I could also do in iDVD?
If you don't want to use an Apple-designed template, I'm not sure why you would want to do it in iDVD, as you can only use templates there.
You need to go through the tutorial, first of all, to get familiar with the program.
Then, you would import your movie that was exported with DVD chapter markers. Create however many menus you want (I would say 7-10) with 7-10 buttons on each. Link each button to hop to the appropriate chapter marker. Also provide a "play all" button on the first menu, or each menu, that links to the beginning of the track.
If you want video thumbnails, you'll need to size buttons accordingly and may need to have less buttons per menu.
PS: with that many chapters I'm not sure I'd classify this project as "simple." Simple in design, maybe, but it'll be quite a bit of work.

How can I Burn a Simple DVD with Chapters and Menus out of My Home Videos.

I created an iMovie (unsig iMovie 10.0.2) of my daughter's volleyball season. I inserted markers separating each game day, hoping these would create chapters in my DVD. Then I did some research about DVD burning apps and finally downloaded BURN. With Burn I created a DVD, but this DVD did not have chapters and also did not have a customizable menu. The whole movie ended up as one 2 hour long chapter.
I have hundresd of family vacation on a hard drive stored and would like to start making iMovies of them to put on DVD for easy watching and forbackup storing.
What is a simple way I can burn my iMovie with chapters onto a DVD?
My macbook pro did not come with iDVD so I dont have it.
Thanks.

MY source is HD i beleive. I shot videos with an iPad Mini.
I ventured into this because I offered this DVD to several team parents, so they are waiting for me to give them the DVD. While I was making it, I added subtitles, showing the game dates, game scores and stats of each player, so it came out really nice. However, not to concern about quality, i have burt the video in a dual layer dvd in SD. I dont have a blue ray burner nor media.
This made me want to do the same with my family vacations vieeos, whic now are a bunch of files in a hard drive, sort them by vacation and add titles like lications to actualy be abel to watch them on a dvd someday.
I have apple tv in the family room, but do not use to watch these videos, will look into that. However, I would still want to make the DVD's.
It seems odd how this, basic feature, has been dropped. I guess apple does not want us to use any more discs.
Still hoping I can do this, if not, I will have to gie away the DVDs with the 2 hour long video in a single chapter.

Exporting problem: How can I make a PAL DVD with NTSC footage?

Hi everyone,
I need some help as I've been trying to burn a DVD for a couple of days now but it still isn't working. Here is my situation:
I shot a lot of standard definition DV with my Canon GL-2 (NTSC, bought in America) that I imported into the trial version of Premiere 5.5.
I edited the footage and set out to make a DVD with the footage that will play on PAL televisions as I live in Australia now and it's all PAL over here.
I exported the footage and put it onto Windows DVD Maker because the trial version of Premiere doesn't let you use Encore.
The footage looked great on Premiere and on the little preview that you get through Windows DVD Maker, but when I burnt the DVD and tried playing it on my TV it looked really bad.
The big problem was the color. Everything was much too red, particularly people's faces.
I assume the problem lies in my export settings, and I was hoping someome who has done this before could help me out. I tried a variety of settings, but they all looked bad and I'd prefer not to waste any more money on DVDs that look like hell.
Is there anyone out there who can tell me how I can get the DVD to look like it does on my computer? What setting would I need to apply? I have been all over the internet, looking at a lot of tutorials and forums, but havent found an answer yet.
Thanks a bunch!
Shawn
PS- My academic credentials have now been verified by Adobe, so if you know a way to do this using Encore, please let me know because in a few hours I will have access to that as well. Cheers!

Hey shooternz, thanks for the fast reply.
My DVD player is playing the DVDs so that's OK, the real problem is that they look so bad. I just bought a whole mess of DVDs because I thought I would just experiment while I was waiting to see if anyone could help me out, and the results have been frustrating. I tried it with all PAL settings and the first DVD I made was much better. That one didnt have all of the sections, just one of the chapters (I wanted to check quickly whether the setting I had was a good one, so I just put a short 7 minute clip on). Encouraged, I tried burning the whole disc using the same settings, but it came out crappy again. Much too red. This is really frustrating me. My computer is new, so I can't see why there would be any problem with the DVD burner, but if two DVDs with the same export settings are coming out differently, I'm thinking it might have to be a problem with either the DVD burner or the DVDs?
Can anybody suggest anything? I'm dying here.

How can I make a simple DVD in iDvd?

I have 17 video segments that I would like to autoplay in order and then have a simple titled menu come up at the end and so all 17 segments as thumbnails in case a reply of one of the segments is required.
THx for any thoughts...
Mike

You won't be able to get all 17 on one menu page. It will require a sub menu/s also. Most themes range from 6-12 buttons. But the good news is once you have compiled your iDvd project, you can drag and drop said movie to the first box while in map view within iDvd and it will play the dvd once inserted into most dvd players. The menu will indeed pop up at the end provided you do Not select the loop function also.
Hope this info helps but if not just come on back.

How to make a slideshow dvd with numerous song clips

I am trying to make a slideshow dvd with different photo fades and different song bits per photo group seemlessly. I know it can be done with iphoto and itunes, but I cant get it done. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I'm puzzled by the suggested procedures.
First, I personally prefer to use iPhoto to compose my slideshow: iPhoto simplifies the workflow of creating the slideshow and managing the transitions between each images (Ken Burns effects); iMovie always creates the same default KB effect, while iPhoto randomizes it and still allows for manual adjustments. I don't add music to the iPhoto slideshows.
Then, I export to iDVD each slideshow (Share / Send iDVD) to only get from my Movies folder (~/Movies/) the generated clip (MPEG4 720x540). iPhoto only proposes to "export" in 640x480, which is bad because too far from DV format.
Then, after I collect all my .mov files, and I trashed each DVD projects created in the process, I import to iMovie all the .mov files. iMovie "converts" each clip to 768x576 DV.
I'm able now to use iMovie to add the soundtrack. When done, I add my chapters and export the iMovie project again to iDVD. Of course, this time I complete the DVD project and burn a disc.
The method I've exposed here helps me a lot because I use each application at what it's best. But, it's all not straightforward.
--> And I don't understand WHY iPhoto does NOT export to iDVD directly in 768x576 DV format.
Can someone help/correct here ?
Thanks,
Thierry

How can I make a simple slideshow on iDVD?

As opposed to the majority of Apple apps that are "user-friendly" I find using iDVD a very awkward, un-friendly application. It offers "drop zones" without me understanding what I should "drop" into them.
I just want to make a simple DVD of a slideshow with some background music ... nothing fancy. I don't need any theme and I don't need to add any movies.

To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1089
If you want something a bit more sophisticated:
There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!

How can i make a soft return with pages shift enter does not work!

how can i make a soft return with pages shift plus enter does not work!!

On full keyboards with a numeric keypad, the key above the right shift is "return" & the one on the numeric section is "enter." On a Mac (or Apple IIgs ) they do have separate functions. On the "mini" keyboards, both names are on the same key, but "enter" is written in smaller letters. I'll have to check to see how that works on another Mac later today.

Search InDesign help for "change bullet characters" (without quotes,) and use the technique described there with the Zapf Dingbat font as suggested by Peter S.
You can also use InDesign's glyphs panel (Window > Type & Tables > Glyphs) to scroll through all the character sets in all the fonts that InDesign has access to on your system, to look for check mark characters.
After you have created a paragraph style that applies the customized check-mark-bullet that you want, every time you apply that paragraph style, the custom bullet appears. So, while it's a few steps to set up the style the first time, from then on it's automatic.
If you really need a particular bullet that's not in any font you have, you'll need to search for fonts that have check mark characters and buy one or use a free one. Caution: free fonts aren't always created to the same strict standards that commercial fonts from reputable font foundries observe; free fonts sometimes cause problems when printing or exporting to PDF. You can search Google for "fonts with check mark" (without quotes.)
