How to make a photo DVD (using very large format photos)

I am attempting to make a photo DVD using iDVD. The program seems to lockup when exporting a slide show from iPhoto.
I am using a 21 mega pixial camera, so the file size is about 15-18 mb, per photo, 266 photo.

Have had to force a close of the pogram, several times.

You're image are much to large. This Apple docukment deescribes how to prepare photos for slideshows: iDVD 7.0 Help (iLife '08): Preparing images for iDVD slideshows.

How to make the CD/DVD drive compatible on Satellite 5000-204

Hi all,
I see a thread on replacing CD/DVD drive on this notebook, but it was closed, so i write this post.
The most of recent unit is "cable select" type and will not be recognized from many Toshiba notebook.
To solve that you must search a drive for which you can found a firmware update that change it to be "reverse cable select" type, as Nec or Optiarc
If you buy a drive that can't be recognize (like me) read below.
I succesfully replaced the DVD-ROM/CD-RW unit with a Pioneer DVR-KD08 DVD writer.
This unit is a "cable select" type (as most other recent unit) so it can't be recognise by this notebook (and many other Toshiba models). The solution is to connect pin 45 and 47 together on the drive or on the connector adapter (this second solution is simpler).
If you watch the drive from behind these pins are the second and third from the left on the upper row of pin of the connector.
In the connector adapter it's simpler to connect these pin (with care) with a solder iron directly on the circuit board.
Obviously on the circuit board the pins are the second and third from the right.
After this the unit will recognize ok.

Hi buddy
First of all thank you for participation in the forum its always nice to have users who shares the own experience and knowledge.
Thanks you also for this info how to make the CD/DVD drive compatible.
But to be honest Im a little bit skeptical because there is a chance that the drive could be damage during this procedure.
So everyone could do this but only at the own risk!!!
Usually the compatible drives can be found in the user manual and it would be useful taking a look into the user manual before buying an NOT compatible drive ;)
Cheers mate

How do I burn a dvd using the PAL setting for Europe?

This is an older answer:
Make a new project in PAL using custom settings. Copy and paste the contents from the NTSC project to the PAL project. Render everything.
Don't do this unless you really need to. If you're making a DVD for Europe you don't need to.
And my question is:
Why is it not needed to change it to PAL if this DVD is for Europe?
Would it not be best to use a project with PAL SD 720x576 DV Anamorphic 25i ?
What's the difference between .... x756 DV and ... DV Anamorphic
and also completely without this DV and DV Anamorphic?

Re: How do I burn a dvd using the PAL setting?in response to Totti 10Why is it not needed to change it to PAL if this DVD is for Europe?
You don't, unless you want to have PAL resolution. Would it not be best to use a project with PAL SD 720x576 DV Anamorphic 25i ?
Yes, if you want a PAL resolution DVD. That's why the OP is asking how to make a PAL project. What's the difference between .... x756 DV and ... DV Anamorphic
DV is 4:3. DV Anamorphic is 16:9. and also completely without this DV and DV Anamorphic?
Not sure what this means. The DVD specification is the same as DV resolution. If the OP as an HD project that has a frame rate of 23.98, the output resolution will be NTSC DV anamorphic, because DVD only accepts 23.98, 24, or 29.97 frame rates in 720x480, not in the PAL resolution 720x576. That has to be in 25fps.

JUst to add the reason you don't need to make PAL for Europe is because all PAL DVDs can play back NTSC. Unfortunately almost no NTSC players can play back PAL.

If not, then copy the 10g strategy back to your version; in outline:
<ul>
drop all existing plan tables
create a table (but call it plan_table$) in the SYS schema (you may prefer to use SYSTEM) as a global temporary table on commit preserve rows
create a public synonym plan_table for plan_table$
grant select insert update delete on plan_table to public
</ul>
Look in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catplan.sql in a 10g version of Oracle to check how it's done.
Each user gets a private (temporary) table in their temporary tablespace whenever they use the plan_table
Their private data disappears when there session ends.

You are not speaking to Apple here. So none of us can "fix it."
TRy try quitting the Photos app followed by a reset of the ipad. To quit an app double click the Home button to reveal the row of recently used apps. Flick up on the page preview and it will fly away and disappear. That quits the app. Then Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

How to make an icon image using Photoshop

I found out how to do this recently so I decided that I wanted to make a tut for those who don't know how to make an icon image. This icon image is for the libraries tab on your computer. Under the libararies tab there is Music, Pictures, Documents, and Photos
First you will need the ICO (Icon image format) Format extension for photoshop which can be downloaded here:
http://www.telegraphics.com.au/svn/icoformat/trunk/dist/README.html
The download link and tutorial on how to install it is all in the link above.
Once you have that all set you can now launch photoshop to create your icon image. Once you have launched it, create a new document with the size as in the image below.
[IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/256x256_zpsbf3dcf8e.png~original[/IMG]
Create the image you want. I used a simple one by using the custom shape tool by pressing "U" on your keyboard and with the
basic blending options.
[IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/IconImage_zpsd788c709.png~original[/IMG]
The reason why the image is pixelated is because it is an icon image. Since the image is only 256x256 pixels when you zoom in on it that will get you the pixely result. The reason why I zoomed in is so you can see it. But don't worry this is no the end result. Just continue reading and you will see.
So once you have created the icon go ahead and press
file>save as>(under format choose the ICO)>and choose the name that you want to name it. And save it in your C: drive. You will see why to save it in your C: drive in a sec.
[IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/SampleicoPic_zpsd252bfba.png~original[/IMG]
So now that you have created the icon and saved it now you can create the new library.
[IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/NewLibrary_zps8ca703b2.png~original[/IMG]
Name the library whatever you want I named it "Sample" for tutorial purposes. Notice how it gives you a default boring icon image for your library.
[IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/Sample1_zpsb5472840.png~original[/IMG]
So now once you have created and named your library now it is time to get the icon image into place.
Go to computer/c: Drive/users/YOU/ And now once you have reached this area you will need to access a hidden folder named "appdata" to do so press "Alt" then a menu bar will show. Click
tools>folder options>and view. Find the option to view hidden folders then press apply then ok. Now we shall continue so AppData>Roaming>Microsoft>Windows>Libraries
Now you should see all the libraries including the one you just created.
[IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/showhiddenfolder_zpsad4a3c94.png~orig inal[/IMG]
[IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/Libraries_zpsf6243bc0.png~original[/IMG]
Once you have reached your destination then open a new text document with notepad and drag the library you just created in notepad. The result should look like this:
[IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/Notepad_zps251a86f0.png~original[/IMG]
once you have reached this point click at the end of the second to last line down then press enter and enter in this information
<iconReference>c:\"NAME OF ICO FILE YOU CREATED IN PS".ico</iconReference>
Example:
[IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/iconreference_zps1c1a3eca.png~origina l[/IMG]
Once you have entered that information go to file>save and the icon image should appear on the library you created.
[IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/Finished_zps267f893a.png~original[/IMG]
Now you are officially finished. Go and spread the news and joy. Bye for now

It is Windows only because all those screen shots are exclusively Windows, the file structure and paths do not resemble those of the Mac in the least. As a Mac user, there's nothing I could take from your tutorial. Sorry,
No drives named with letters like C: on the Mac, for instance. No backward slashes either, ever. No such paths either. No "Notepad" on the Mac, we use TextEdit; but such a text editor is not remotely needed on the Mac to make and/or edit icons. Etc.
Those folders are not even called "Libraries" on the Mac… Nothing resembling your tutorial at all.
The icons in the Finder's Sidebar are not customizable at all in recent version of OS X.

How to make a NTSC DVD for the USA

I want to put some movies on a DVD for some relatives to play on their DVD player in USA which uses NTSC I believe.
How do I convert my PAL footage to play on their machine in iDVD6?

Hi Alexander
Two ways. One bad and one very good.
• Burn a NTSC-project in iDVD - BAD AND LOSY QUALITY
• Open Your movie in JES_Deinterlacer - Google it - it's free and let it convert Your PAL (25fps) project
to NTSC (29.97fps) then start a new iDVD NTSC-project and drop this new converted movie into
this.
This should be enough - BUT You can do more.
• Now Save as a DiskImage to eg Desktop
• Burn this by Apple Disk Util tool or Toast™ - AT AN AS SLOW speed as possible eg x1, x2 or x4
• Burn it on high quality media: I use Verbatim DVDs
• Use DVD-R (not +R or +/-RW)
Doing the last steps gives a DVD that has less writing errors = Can be played on more types of player
eg. stand alone DVD-player or PCs
Yours - HAVE TESTED THIS and got a very good result - confirmed from US: Bengt W

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 to make fullscreen mode work using javascript

1.I want to open the window in fullscreen mode.
It works fine for internet explorer.
But in netscape navigator 8.0 as the tab browsing is there

HT5630 how do I burn a dvd using usb superdrive to mac or itunes?

How do I burn my dvds onto either my Macbook air or onto itunes using external USB superdrive please??

"Burn my DVD" refers to the process of taking data FROM the Macbook and copying them TO the DVD, not potentially the other way around, as you have asked the question.
Are you wanting to copy (rip) movies from a DVD and place them into iTunes?
-or-
Are you wanting to copy (burn) a movie from a digital copy on your computer to the DVD?
The way you have asked the question makes no sense.

How to make content of DVD so that copies cannot be burned from it. uncopiable.

How to I format my DVD so that its content cannot be copied by others?

Hi
You can't - or rather I can't - Only big companies as EMI, SONY etc can pay for that service.
So I made a small not on it.
DVD Copy-protect
No there is non in standard iDVD.
The most common solution is to put a logo that stays on top of the full movie.
e.g.. Copyrighted to . Or made by etc.
Not even if You buy FinalCut Studio and get DVD-Studio Pro. You will not get this.
The Copy-protection in DVD-Studio Pro is just a flag set to alert DVD-producers
to make this in DVD-burning Companies.
There is such protections to Commercial materials and to astronomical costs.
And one can figure to what need, when there are no really secure Copy-protection.
One can only plead to respect the Copyrights
