How do you create a DVD

Can anyone please help? I have about given up.
I have created a Movie on iMovie HD and then tried to create a dvd using iDVD5. It has been the first time I have used either program but my first atempt was succesfull. However I wasn't happy with the finished product so changed one of the menu's and added some extra chapter markers.
Since then I have not been able to create a DVD.
It takes along time to get past the Audio encoding bit and it will eventually say that burning is complete but with errors.
I am using my Powermac G3 with 1gb of ram and a new 320gb external hard drive.
I have also tried creating a disk image but Toast doesnt allow me select the movie from the menu.
Sorry to woffle on but if anyone could help it might just stop me from throwing the computer through the window.

iDVD can take awhile to finish the encoding, so be patient. I wouldn't focus too much on the exact description that iDVD is providing.
The disk image is a self-contained file so it will transfer fine. It is conceivable that the read/write permissions are goofy. Check them with Get Info, and search this forum for other ideas.

    How do you create a DVD in Lihgtroom 4?

    I'm not sure what you mean by Developer Profile, but you can create a provisioning profile in Xcode 4 from the Organizer. Click the Organizer button in the project window toolbar. Click the Devices button at the top of the Organizer. Select Provisioning Profiles from the left side of the Organizer.
    If you need to create something other than a provisioning profile, you may need to go to Apple's iOS developer center, sign in, and create what you need from there.

  • How do you create a DVD from FCPX 10.0.7

    To start off..I'm no expert. Just frustrated. I have my finished Project in FCPX 10.0.7 and want to burn it to DVD. Not looking for any fancy intro's, titles, chapters or anything. I just want to throw it onto a DVD which will begin playing once I pop the DVD into a player.
    From my Project I chose "Share to DVD" and Transcoding started. Then at 66% completed it just stopped... and says,
    "Finishing: Create DVD: Waiting for Create Disc to finish." That was last night. This morning, it still says that.
    Not sure what to do. HELP!

    Hmmm... not really sure what is causing your problems...?
    Just a few things you might try...
    Trash your Preference File: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    Try with another project... same problem...?
    Check: File / Relink Project Files... anything missing there...?
    Are you using Optimized Media...?
    Did you finished rendering the timeline...?
    Are you using ProRes 422...?
    Try and export as Master File... does that work...?

  • How do I create a dvd backup of library in the very latest iTunes,with windows xp?

    How do I create a dvd backup of library with itunes version 11.1.4.62? Using windows xp.

    Hi meatmailbox,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The best way to backup your iTunes library is to an external hard drive.  The article below will explain how to do this.   If you want the files on a CD or DVD, you would need to create playlists.  I'll include that information as well.

  • How do you create a mixed media disc? I would like to include a slideshow/movie as well as include a .pdf of a photo book on the same disc?

    How do you create a mixed media disc? I would like to include a slideshow/movie as well as include a .pdf of a photo book on the same disc. I would like the movie to play on any DVD player.

    Do you want the pdf available to view or just for copying from the disk to a computer for viewing.
    To view a PDF you can do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto which will create a jpg of each page of the pdf and save it to iPhoto.  From there you can send the PDF jpegs to iDVD to make a slideshow of the pages.  It's the same principle as used in this tutorial: 06 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book.
    If you don't have the Safe to iPhoto workflow in your HD/Library/PDF Services folder you can download it from  Toad's Cellar.

  • How do I create a DVD with no theme, i.e., it plays what was recorded when inserted in the player?

    How do I create a DVD with no theme, i.e., it plays what was recorded when inserted in the player?  Nothing extra, just the recorded content.

    Hi
    No Menu on DVD
    from. Mishmunken
    How to create a DVD in iDVD6 without menu (there are several options)
    1. Easy. Drop your iMovie in the auto-play box in iDVD's Map View, then set your auto-play item (your movie) to loop continuously.
    Disadvantage. The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
    2. Still easy. If you don't want your (auto-play) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the drop-zone (text needs to be black as well).
    Disadvantage. The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
    3. Still quite easy but takes more time. Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
    Disadvantage. One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
    4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software. Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn.
    Disadvantage. you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
    5. The "hard way". Post-production with myDVDedit (free-ware)
    Tools necessary. myDVDedit ( www.mydvdedit.com )
    • create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
    • Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
    • Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
    • Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
    • Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
    • Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned. If it works save and close myDVDedit.
    • Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager.

  • How do I create a DVD from an iMovie '08 Project?

    How do I create a DVD from an iMovie '08 Project? I followed the directions in the help section but when I open iDVD, my project is "grayed out" and I cannot open it in iDVD.
    Rich Rector

    In general, in imovie Share to Media Browser or Share to iTunes.
    Then open iDVD. Open the Media Browser in iDVD (at bottom right of window). Navigate to your movies and you should see the movie you made. Drag it in to the iDVD project.

  • With iDVD, how can I create a DVD that auto plays on insert and then loops?

    To create a OneStep DVD:
    Connect your DV camcorder to your computer and set the camera to VTR, VCR, or Play mode. Turn on your camcorder if it doesn't turn on automatically.
    Open iDVD and click the OneStep DVD button. (If iDVD opens to a recent project, choose File > OneStep DVD.)
    Insert a recordable DVD disc.
    iDVD rewinds the tape in the video camera and captures the video.
    ------------or-------------
    To burn a OneStep DVD from a folder:
    Choose File > "OneStep DVD from Movie."
    Locate the movie you want to add in the dialog that opens, then click Import.
    Insert a blank DVD disc into the optical drive.
    This kind of disc is sometimes called "kiosk mode" and is a good way to create demos or other presentations that play automatically and require no user interaction.

  • How do I create a DVD from iMovie with menus? What iDVD use to do!

    iDVD has disappeared on my new MacBook Pro, so how do I create a DVD with menus and everything?

    Hi
    You can not do that - without any DVD authoring software as iDVD.
    So either
    • Treat to return Your new Mac (within 14 days) if Apple doesn't give You iDVD
    • Buy a second handed iLife'09 (pref as You then get all Themes - not so in iLife'11 - AND - after program-up-date they will be the same version anyway)
    • Buy another DVD-authoring software as Roxio Toast™ (costs a bit - contanin lot's of other things too - that was of great value to me (not so to everyone)
    • Use the free (and very simple/basic) BURN™ - as You at least can get Your Movie onto a Playable DVD
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

  • How do you create a full frame sequence to change it from wide to full

    How do you create a new full frame sequence to change it from wide to full screen to burn a dvd? I tried creating a new project and importing the current sequence, but it imports the entire project with all the individual clips on the timeline, what is the practical way of doing this?
    Thanks
    Elio

    Create a new sequence using "full frame settings" and then nest the widescreen sequence in the new sequence. Now scale the nested sequence to your satisfaction.
    You will also find links to many free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.

    How do you create a link to a pdf in Muse? Thought it was going to show that with Katie's menu and can't find in any of the tutorials.

    The steps would be :
    - Add files from file menu > select pdf > add to site
    - Select the content (rectangle,text etc) and click on hyperlink dropdown > it should show you the added files list
    - Select the file you want to link

    To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry.  If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.
