How do I upload an idvd project to youtube or facebook?

I would love to upload an idvd project to youtube to share on facebook. Currently, my imovie does not work (that's another help question for another time). I am not sure if iphoto is an option because my idvd project has many movie clips in the slideshow. Also, I tried the burning option and then ripping the dvd, BUT... for some reason, the music doesn't match the slides when burned on a dvd... but plays fine in the idvd project. In fact, the DVD's burned are not even regonized in the DVD player... but recognized when put into the computer (but audio is off). Anyways... I look forward to your support and help!!

This tutorial shows you how to upload an iDVD created DVD to youtube.  There are other ways of doing this, but this method is fairly easy and allows you to upload videos longer than 15 minutes.

  • How can I upload a captivate project to YouTube?

    I am using Captivate 3, and created a demo project I publish this to our FTP, and it is working great. Now we want to send it to YouTube, but I don't know how. Can anyone help?

    Hi there
    The first step will be to publish as SWF and convert the SWF to a format YouTube understands.
    You might use Google and search for a free SWF to video converter. Additionally, if you have any interactive elements, those probably won't translate.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How do I burn a iDVD project on more than one computer?

    I created an iDVD (7.1.2) project with three elements. Two iMovies made from iMovie '11 and a presentation made from Keynote (5.1.1).
    I deleted the chapters in the slide show to help simplify matters and it did cut down on my burning/processing time.
    I made this iDVD project for my son's 5th grade graduation. We would like to burn 135 copies to give each family one 'favor/dvd' for memory keepsake.
    I do not want to burn 135 copies on my Superdrive (new to owning a mac) and do not want to ruin my Superdrive for a school project.
    I can not take this to a commericial duplicater because of copyright issues with the music. We are not selling the copies, just giving a memory keepsake to the kids- of the year and the slide show from graduation, the other iMovie in iDVD, just contains one page of specifications; like my contact info and songs used etc..
    I have parents that are willing to help me copy the movie, however I don't know how to do this?
    I don't believe any of these parents have iDVD.
    Someone mentioned through all my readings on apple communities and google, making an "ISO" of your project then anyone can make a copy of your movie on any platform: PC or Mac. What is an ISO? How do I make a ISO?
    If I have a .img file from saving a disc image - would I burn the .img file to a dvd and give it to someone else to copy? Are there other files that need to go with my .img file?
    If/When someone takes my .img file and puts it on their computer how do they copy it? Do they need burning software?
    Can I just give a friend a burned DVD of my movie to burn copies on their computer?
    What I tried: Bought a LaCie burner to use a external drive vs. my (Superdrive - worried about overuse). Saved project as a "Disc Image." Mounted to my Finder and then burned to external drive with disc utility. This worked successfully 4 times in a row then kept getting message "unsuccessful burn" I took the drive back to Fry's. Not sure if it was the drive?
    Any advice to a newcomer would be great!
    Summer has already begun and I would like to finish this project as soon as I can.
    Thanks so much, Deanna

    Yes, you can distribute a burned disk of the project to those who can create duplicate disks.  Or create a disk image of the iDVD project using the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option.
    Then you can distribute the disk image to those who will burn the disks.  For PCs you'll have to convert the .dmg file to a .iso file so they can burn it.  This website describer how: Mac Help - Convert and Burn Mac .dmg or .img to .iso Windows PC-Compatible Disk Image
    Suggest to them to 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.
    It would be prudent to rest your optical drive for about 30 minutes after burning 3 disks in a row. That will give the laser time to cool down before you start another batch.

  • How do I delete an idvd project from my hard drive?  If I do so, will it delete the raw videos/images from iphoto or imovie?  Thank you

    I understand that an imovie or idvd project will take up quite a bit of space on my hard drive, so after I create the movies on either program I want to delete them.  I can't figure out how to delete them on idvd.  Should I go to finder?  I'm so confused!

    iDVD only uses pointers to the media, photos and QT files, that it uses in its projects.  So if you delete a movie that you used in it that movie will be lost to iDVD.
    However you can use the File ➙ Archive Project... menu option and that will copy the media into the iDVD project package. Then if you delete the movie file the archived project will still have its copy of the movie to use.
    You won't be able to go back and make any changes to the movie if you do this.  So wait until the project is complete and burned to disk before archiving and deleting the movie files.
    Personally I would get an external HD and save those movies and other files that you might want to delete from your boot drive because you never know when you might want to go back and make changes.  Once they are deleted you can't go back.
    Happy Holidays

  • How can I get my iDVD project from my iMac to my MBPro?

    I created a slideshow on my iMac in iPhoto, sent it to iDVD, and then burned the slideshow to a disc from iDVD. I'd like to have the iDVD project on my MBPro, too, but everything I've tried doesn't work!
    I've read the posts saying that archiving the iDVD project would work...I did that on my iMac and burned it to a disc to transfer it. Well, the archiving made an "Alias" of the iDVD file, and when I tried to open it on my MBPro I got an error message that it "couldn't be opened because the original file can not be found". Of course not! The "original" file is on my iMac!)
    Any help would really be appreciated...I'm not real familiar with the whole iDisk thing, but I was wondering if that might work??

    I actually did do File/Archive when I archived it; still not sure why it created an alias that I can't work with...I'm pretty sure though that the project is an ok size for a DVD; it's about 25 minutes total, WAY less than 4.7GB that the disk holds. And, I had burned a copy of the final iDvd file to a DVD-R before I decided I wanted to have the file on my MBPro.
    Still hoping to find out how I can transfer this file from Mac to Mac...but, thanks for your input!

  • How do I move an iDVD project to external

    I recently upgraded to iDVD '08 and see that now, one of the output selections is iDVD, meaning it goes straight to that. When this is selected, it automatically begins creating the file as opposed to asking where you'd like to store it. It ended up in my documents on my HD. I figured no worry, I'd just move it over to my ext HD since it was over 2GB. But when I did this and tried to open it, it said 2 files were missing. So, couple of questions. First, I remember with the last that you just output a file that you then, yourself, dragged into iDVD. This seemed very easy. But with this way, it seems to automate it. How can I output so that is does it the old way, where it generates a file that I can place in iDVD myself, and that I can store on an external. Second, if that's not possible, what files do I need to locate to move to the ext, where do they hide, and where should I store them?
    Why do they make what was perfectly easy, hard?

    If I understand you correctly, you are actually asking two different questions.
    1. Do you mean that with iMovie 08, when you select to 'share' your movie to iDVD that iDVD opens a new project automatically?
    You do not have to use the output options in iMovie. Just close your iMovie and open iDVD yourself, choose to create a new project, select a theme, then go to the Media tab, then 'Movies,' locate your iMovie and drag it onto iDVD's main screen. Be careful not to drop it into a menu Drop Zone.
    2. You also would like to have your iDVD project saved to a different location than the default 'Documents' file. When you open iDVD and create a new project, you will see a dropdown box showing Documents as the save location. You can change that right from that drop box.
    However, it is recommended that you save your project on your computer's drive, not an external drive. The iDVD application itself must run from your computer. Some users have successfully created and burned projects located on other drives, but many have run into problems.
    You can certainly save your completed iDVD projects to an external drive by doing a 'save as disk image' from within the iDVD project. This will look like the burn process, and take just as long for the encoding, but the end result is a disk image file, not a burned DVD disk. The disk image file is a self-contained file that is an exact replica of your iDVD project. It can be moved without losing the ability to burn DVD disks from it in the future.
    Remember that an iDVD project itself should be thought of as a container that has references to media files used in it, but it does not actually CONTAIN the media files. When a DVD is burned from an iDVD project, iDVD locates the needed media and copies it for the burn, doing this for each disk burned. Sometimes there are burn 'glitches' where the first DVD disk burns fine, but others may not. Also with an iDVD project, if you rename, move, change or delete any of the files used in the project, iDVD will be unable to locate them and will not be able to open properly. With a saved disk image file, you can safely delete the original iDVD project and the original iMovie, thus saving drive space.
    Burning DVD disks form a disk image file using Disk Utility or Toast is a better way to burn DVD disks since the files are all encoded in the disk image file and do not have to be copied in each time.
    Please post back if any of this is not clear, or does not answer what you need to know.

  • How do I delete old iDVD projects from my hard drive?

    I'm sure there is a simple answer to this but as I have messed up things in iPhoto before by deleting the wrong files which caused lots of problems when trying to open the application, so I just want to be sure before doing anything bad . I am still trying to get my head round where iDVD and iMovie keep all the files.
    I want to reclaim some space on my external hard drive. I have 3 iDVD projects and their related iMovie movies that I no longer need to do any more to. I have made disc images of each and burnt some DVD's of these projects therefore I don't think they need to remain on the computer. Can I delete the projects by dragging them to the trash from the folder I created to store them and then do the same with the associated iMovie projects? Will this leave the disc images intact in case I needed to burn further discs from them? Will this leave any confused links in iDVD that will affect the application. I also have the burnt dvds as a further back up so these projects are now just taking up space.

    Yes, you are on the right track here. Disk Images are entirely independent of any other files. You can trash any of your iDVD/iMovie project files and it will not affect your disk images.
    When I create disk images I give them very distinct names ... like Bob's Video Disk Image ... so it is easy to distinguish them and I always store them in a Disk Image folder ... just to cover my youknowwhat

  • I want to download my Idvd project to youtube, how is this donw

    H E L P !!!!!!    i have made a project I made using IDVD, how do I download it to youtube or anywhere else? 

    Follow the instructions in this Apple KB article to import the music from the CD: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12486. when you have all the ID3 tags how you like them then follow the instructions in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4914.
    FYI, iTunes Match (not "iMatch") and iCloud are not the same thing. They are separate and distinct services and one does not require the other.

  • How can I upload my FCP project in high quality on youtube?

    Ok so I finished a 4 minute project on Final Cut Pro and it's perfect. But when I bring it out of FCP the quality fails completely. The video is blurry. Even the music sounds terrible. This happens when I export through share masterfile even though it's 4 GB
    I'm trying to put it on youtube. What's the best way of doing it?

    Don't share directly to YouTube. YouTube has bandwidth limit requirements and I'm pretty sure FCPX is trying to upload its usual high quality H.264 video. If you upload a video to YT at a higher quality than they allow, they will re-encode the video for you to fit their requirements. Their encoders are not as good as the ones you have available on your mac... and... they don't care.  The only exception is for creators with enterprise quality internet connections, in which case, youtube will take what FCPX feeds it.
    Use Compressor, or Quicktime 7 Pro to transcode your "master" export out of FCPX (I'll usually just use ProRes 422 LT).
    You need to encode the video with H.264. (Using QT7Pro:) if the video is 1080, then you need to set the Data Rate to 8 Mbps (Restrict to 8000 Kbps); Keyframes Automatic; Frame Reordering off; Optimized for Streaming; Best Quality (Multi-pass Encoding).  Audio: format AAC; Rate 48kHz; (I use) Variable Bit Rate encoding with a sampling rate of 192kbps (typically - anything from 128 to 384). The last step you have to set up: Prepare for Internet Streaming: Fast Start.  As a matter of habit (since this step seemed to make a difference a couple of years ago) I'll go into the Size options and check the Preserve Aspect Ratio by using: option and select Letterbox from the options. [I prefer using QT7Pro because there are less things to screw up. I've never had *satisfactory* success with Compressor — I'm always getting into things that complicate the procedure.]
    Anyway, if you get the numbers under the limit, the upload to youtube is faster, it's "ready" right away (almost as soon as it's uploaded) and you'll get at least what you expect to get (what you see before uploading.) Compressing some types of video (usually high contrast/high action) down to 8Mbps is going to cause problems you'll just have to live with.
    YouTube has an encoding requirements guide here:
    https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1722171?hl=en
    but it's for PC people... you do not need the .mp4 container, .mov is just fine (been using it for years).

  • How come i cant share my project to youtube?

    after the publishing bar fills up in the iMovie dialog box, and the box disappears, i do not get the dialog box with the url to view it on YouTube and it's not showing up on YouTube.  Any suggestions?  I'm downloading from a FlipCam.  Thanks.

    When this happens it's pretty hard to figure why it fails. So what a lot of people suggest is to bypass Share to iMovie altogether. Instead. Share to Movie... And save it to the desktop of the Mac. Then login to Youtube through the web browser and upload it there instead. That way you leave iMovie out of the mix and avoid any difficulties when it doesn't work. I know people have gotten it to work multiple times, but then it will fail and not work. So the easiest way around this is to just upload directly through the Web instead.

  • How can I save my dvd project as a .mov file?

    I'd like to post an iDVD project on youtube, but first I have to convert it to an .mov file.  How do I go about this?

    Do you have the original source files that you used to create the iDVD project? You would get a better quality final product if you used the original source material to create a Quicktime movie file for uploading to YouTube.
    Otherwise you will need to rip your DVD with an application like Handbrake to get a movie file of the content.  The resulting quality will be considerably less than the original source material.

  • Exporting iMovie/iDVD project for PC friend to edit

    I recently posted a question about how to take an iMovie/iDVD project and export the files so that a PC user could take the project and edit on his PC using a video editor. It was suggested that I share the iMovie project to QuickTime and then burn on to a CD. This sounded good at first but then I did some research and saw that sharing to QuickTime means that the quality will be lost (saving to CD setting) and will only be something like 320 x 240. Plus, it takes forever. Even longer if I set it to full quality but by that point, the file wouldn't fit on a CD anyway.
    I did see that I could save the movie back to a mini DV tape and then give that to the PC person so that they could just bring it into their computer via their camcorder. But what if that person doesn't have a digital camcorder?
    For the project in question, I've been asked to take some VHS tapes and convert them to digital. I've done so using a digital converter. They want a DVD of what was on the tapes, which I've done, but they also want the files so that they can later edit to their tastes on their own time on their PC and then later create a DVD. Given the above, what would be the best way to do this? Isn't there something in the movie project files that I can dump to disk?

    a) consider the usage of an ext. harddrive...
    b) in iM's "share" dialog, you find the option "selected clips only"; so, select a few clips you like to export, check that box, done... you can "split" your clips at any point to create segments of approbiate size by hitting apple-t at any position in timeline..
    c) share/Quicktime/expert options/click "share"/ offers you a dropdown menu, where you can choose the "avi" container...
    (your User Interface is for sure english!)
    you can click options, and choose the dv codec (which is your project's native video codec)... no loss of quality, and probably compatible for your friend..
    d) a dataDVD-r fits ~20min of dv video... 4 disks?
    e) using Disk Utility, make sure, you use a PC-compatible disk format....
    f) Plan B) export your project back to tape, give your friend the miniDV...

  • Playing IDVD project from computer thru projector

    How do I play my IDVD project from my computer thru a projector and get it to play full screen without all the drop zone etc and media window showing?

    There's at least a few ways to do this:
    Do you currently have a DVI to VGA adapter with your macbook? Looks like this:
    http://store.apple.com/ca/product/M9320G/A?mco=6C04E099
    OR ....
    if you're working with Composite or S-Video connectors then you need this:
    http://store.apple.com/ca/product/M9319G/A?mco=6C04E0B8
    However, the cleanest way IMO is to get a Mini-DVI to DVI adapter, if the projector has a DVI connection. You'll get a cleaner, trouble-free picture with DVI rather than VGA.
    http://store.apple.com/ca/product/M9321G/B?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTA4NjQ0NDE
    Once you have any of the above connector properly connected to the LCD Projector (and the laptop) all you need do is restart your mac while connected (assuming the projector is fully powered up beforehand) and your mac will default to the correct settings (or at least should in most cases).
    If I'm not mistaken, you'll use apple's dvd player app in full screen mode to play the dvd like this:
    click here
    As for not showing the desktop, you want to play the dvd rather than to mirror the desktop. Just move the mouse to the top of the screen > view > full screen.
