How to burn an iPhoto CD/DVD using a DIFFERENT picture format ?...

Hello,
Here's a tricky problem:
My iPhoto Library only includes heavy TIFF images. I'd like to share an album with a friend, i.e. burn this album on a CD or DVD within iPhoto. But I would prefer burning JPEG images instead of TIFF, because more images would fit on a single disk (and also because display would be much faster).
Is there any way to do this using iPhoto 6 ? Can iPhoto "internally" convert images from a format to another ? What is the best route to follow ?
Any answers will be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This is always a difficult problem. So far the best solution I have found is to use a script called iPhoto Keyword utilities (available at http://scriptbuilders.net/files/iphotoiptckeywordimportexportutilities1.0.html). It will export your keywords to the IPTC Keyword file of the original and modified files in iPhoto.
So far I have not found an easy way to export the comments into a related IPTC field. As for the ratings, I make a keyword for each rating, and then reassign the ratings from the keywords. To change the format, you can either export directly into the new format, or export the original format and use another editor (Graphic converter or Photoshop) to batch change them. Then you would reimport the files into a new iPhoto Library. Sometimes iPhoto will automatically recognize the embedded keywords, or you may have to use the above scripts, or another script called "Metadata to iPhoto 1.0 script" by Barrrt (available on the iPhoto 6 Editing & organization discussions under "IPTC Metadata to iPhoto" section) to do this.
It sure would be nice to find an easier way to do it all! Maybe you can send a recommendation to apple.
You should also note that if you have changed the date or time on your photos in iPhoto, when you export them, they will not retain the new time. For this you can use another script, called PhotoInfo 1.04, also available elsewhere on this forum. Good luck!

How to burn AVI on a DVD using iDVD

Hello folks,
I have a number of old movies in AVI format. I can play these without any problems in QT on my Mac - I have Perian installed and Flip4Mac.
I open iDVD, then create a new project, add the AVI file, then iDVD starts crunching the file for a while (about one hour or so, depending on how long the movie is), then, when it's about to start burning it on the disk it quits with an error message saying something about 'error at multiplexing'.
I even tried to convert my AVI file into MOV (with this: http://www.macxdvd.com/mac-video-converter-pro/?run.mxconverter ) but I still have the same issue.
I know that I can burn it directly to a DVD using other programs (like Toast) but I am not willing to spend some more money for it. Ont he other hand, I want to add chapters and a simple menu, so that I can skip back and forth when needed.
To be noted that other projects coming from my camcorder are OK.
Any idea on how can this be acomplished?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Assuming the movie is not copy protected, you might have better luck with this free download from apple's web site before adding the file to iDvd:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
An AVI is a container, not a format; no single component or method will work for all AVIs
If you need help using mpegstream clip then simply use the search field on the upper right corner of this page.
Hope it helps but if not just come on back.

How to burn my poject to dvd using imovie 10

i recently up date my imovie 11. And i got imovie 10, i do not see the option to burn my porojets to dvd.
Please i need help.

You will need some movie burn software such as iDVD, Roxio Toast, or google for other possibilities; then export your project and import it into the burn software.

I have a macbook air and i made a movie on my imovie. Now i want to burn it to a dvd using a flashdrive and burning it on another PC that has a burner. Does anyone know how i can do this? My macbook air HAS IDVD....

Here are dedicated discussion forums for iMovie and iDVD, where you might more likely find help.

If I download a video from my video camera to a new (current 1/12) iMac 21 inch, how can I burn it to a DVD using the computer itself. Is this possible? Do I need to buy additional software. Two salespeople at the Apple were a little confused about this.

The DVD recorder I'm referring to is one I've use for years. It is not attached to my aging iMac in any way. I simply play the video from my camcorder (mini-dv tape based Canon HV20) into the DVD recorder and create a DVD that can be played in any DVD player. I can only do minimum editing so what goes in is what I get. This has been fine for creating dupes of the various things I shoot.
If I buy a new iMac (21 inch), I'd like to be able to download the video to the iMac through iMovie, work with it to whatever degree I wish, and burn it to a DVD that can also be played in any DVD player -- or to use as a master to dupe copies.
What I'm understanding from you and others is that this would be possible if Apple had included iDVD in the software that comes with the iMac, or if I purchase the iLife Family Pack, or buy the correct version of Toast. I'm hoping I can persuade Apple to sell me an iMac with iDVD installed.
Essentially I want to move from a basic process of creating DVD copies to the more sophisticated process of creating one from an iMac.
Thank you again for your help and wisdom.

How to burn an iMovie to DVD without losing quality? I have iMovie 10.0.5 and imac 10.9.4 mountain lion. I do not have iDVD. After iMovie goes through the encoding process, quality is horrible. How can I fix this?

How can I fix this problem? I have tried the apps BURN and DVD Creator for MAC. I need to finish this DVD asap and becoming more and more frustrated. Why would Apple give us iMovie and not provide us an app to burn it to a DVD and / or take away the iDVD?

To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported and edited them in iMovie and then burned them onto a DVD using iDVD. I can see the weak jerkiness when panning in both laterally and vertically. I shoot with a camcorder Canon

I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported
and edited them in iMovie and then burned them onto a DVD using iDVD.
I can see the weak jerkiness when panning in both laterally
and vertically.
I shoot with a camcorder Canon Vixia HF10. The camera has been set to deliver HD quality (1920x1080). But I have accidentally filmed with a frame rate of 60 (?).
When I import the films in iMovie I have been asked if I want to change to frame rate 30 (instead of 25). I have chosen 30.
Could it be the setting of a frame rate 60 in my camcorder that causes jerkiness when panning or what else?

New imac. can't figure out how to burn a iphoto slideshow or imovie to a dvd

You will need to obtain a copy of iDVD 7 by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com. Why the iLife 09 disk?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
Once you have iDVD on your iMac working export the iPhoto slideshow via the Export button at the bottom of the slideshow window and select Size = Medium or Large:
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported slideshow movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
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.

How to burn an iPhoto slide show to a DVD

Start up iDVD and you can see this slideshow in your media.

Getting extra scenes when burning from imovie to dvd using idvd.

I edited a movie using imovie and got it n the sequence I want. Then I burned it to dvd using idvd. However, when I view the dvd, it starts midway through the video, goes to the end, then starts over and shows me the whole video.
The problem is, I don't see the extra part that shows in the beginnning on the dvd on imovie. How do I get rid of that extra stuff if I can't see it on imovie?

I have had the same problem. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple Support and they were absolutely no help at all. They told me to buy Final Cut Pro. The only thing I found that helped was to export the movie using Quick Time as HD as possible (which takes a long time) and then use that in iDVD, so that the version I have for viewing on a TV or whatever doesn't look cheap and lo-res. My old iMac and iMovie 4 was slow, but the quality was much better on finished DVD products of movies or slideshows. It *****.

How to burn a slideshow to DVD for anyone to play. I burned a DVD and can play it on my mac, but will not open in windows

Need to know how to burn a DVD that can be viewed by any DVD player. I created a DVD from a slideshow created in iPhoto. I can open it on my computer, but it will not open or even be recognized in my home DVD player. I asked a friend to try it on a Windows computer and he could not open it. What's the key to creating things for friends & family that do not have Mac anything?
