How to make a slide show that will play on a TV?

I have a
collection of pics that I have used the slideshow module t
o create a slide show and it works great on my PC. How do
I create one that I can burn to a disk and play on a TV?
Do I need to purchase
something else or will Lightroom3 do what I need? The slideshow that I created will play on other computers but, when I put it in a dvd player for the TV it says there is no disk in it. I have tried 4 different players. Am I missing something?
I would be very gratefull for help with this!

Alternatively, you can export a H264 mp4 from the slideshow module, dump it on a memory stick (or plain DVD) and stick it in the TV or your BluRay player
Not all Blu-ray palyers can play MP4 container video files. So this may, or may not work depending on your Blu-ray player's capabilities. ALL Blu-ray players will play H.264 AVC HD video with .MTS file format, but Lightroom 3 does not offer this as a slideshow export option.
See the 'Overview' section here for more information on the file system and folder organization:

The folder structure when using USB and SD media is different than DVD media! More information here:

How to make a slide bar that controls opacity

I'm trying to figure out how to make a slide bar that would control opacity. If I were to take to pictures on top of each other, the slide bar would control the opasity of the top image. Thanks

can you make a slider that controls anything? if so, what's the range you can control?
ie, when the slider is at one extreme it causes some object to have value1 and when it's at the other extreme the object has value2. what value1, value2 can you handle?

My Theme disappears from the DVD after I burn it on to a disc. I know it's there but my DVD player doesn't "see" it. How do I burn an iDVD that will play the theme?

It sure is. It also plays on my PC using VLC Player. So, I know that it was burned onto the DVD.

How to make a slide show or edition including mpeg and other formats

Hi,
I am i bit puzzled by the use of iphoto/imovie/itunes.
I have a Sony camera which generates jpg photos and mpg videos; besides, i have 3gp and mp4 videos from cell phones.
Firstly, i imported all of them to iphoto. I used a automator workflow to help importing from hotsynced Palm centro files, to discover the first problem with the 3gp files: they could not be iported by workflows.
Still, they could be seen in iphoto, but then i tried to make a slide show. My idea was to put the photos and videos of a certain event to be watched together, or at least to be able to watch the videos in a sequence, without having to click on each one.
I didnt get it in iphoto, so i switched to imovie. it was even worse, since it cannot import the mpgs and the 3gps (the jpg photos were ok). What could i do about that? is there any converter or other way?
then i tried the itunes, and it was the opposite: it imported and played in sequence the mpg videos, but not the photos. This is a workaround anyway, since the program expects to play movies, and makes my daughter a "star", but that`s ok, she is one to me.
i'll be thankful for hints on how to make the imovie compatible with the 3gp and mpgs, or finding some way to do this edition in iphoto or even with itunes.
regards

I see, it sounds reasonable , i think i will buy the pro and try.
QT Pro ($30) and MPEG Streamclip (free) complement each other. In many cases one can do things that the other cannot. For instance, MPEG Stramclip can handle/edit multiplexed formats while QT Pro cannot. QT Pro allows layering of data tracks while Streamclip does not. Streamclip merges file streams more easily than QT Pro but QT Pro allows the "Movie to MPEG-4" export to "passthrough" the video while Streamsclip does not. And so on and so forth...
I was referring to the mpegs from the Sony camera, of which a have hundreds, shot in the last 3 or 4 years, mainly from my 5-year old daughter. Is the above true to these?
That still doesn't help. By "sony camera," are you referring to a still digital camera (multiplexed MPEG-1) or a Sony video camcorder taking MPEG-4/AVCHD with AC3 audio in an MPEG wrapper, a Sony DVD/HDD camera storing some kind of MPEG-2/AC3 files. On a Mac, the extension MPG normally refers multiplexed MPEG-1 (or MPEG-1 audio layer) files while MPEG normally refers to multiplexed MPEG-2 video content with MPEG-1, layer 2 audio (MPEG2/MP2) but may also refer to files with MP3 or AC3 files in an MPEG, VOB, or TS wrapper. In addition it may loosely refer to elementary M2V video streams (M2V video file paired with a separate AIFF or AC3 file), a standard MPEG4/AAC file (in an MOV or MP4 wrapper) or a standard H.264/AAC file in MOV, MP4, or M4V wrapper). Since the handling, conversion, editing requirements vary with each type of file, it becomes important to what specific kind of content/file container we are dealing with here.

How to Best Create a DVD that will play on BOTH Mac and Windows

Hello - Looking for some direction. How can I create an iDVD DVD that will play on both Mac & Win? I can not find a solution that will accomplish this. What I did was create an .img then burned to DVD. This plays fine on my Mac & on home stereo DVD but not on a windows machine. The Windows machine can "read" the DVD fine but WIndows Media Player can not play it. Do I need to have folks use a special player on WIndows? Is there another format the I should have iDVD output? I need to send some DVDs to college coaches for my son and am trying to do this the best way without knowing what platform (Mac or WIn) they will be using. What is the best approach?
Thanks in advance for your help,
David

Hi
There are two ways to burn a DVD.
• as a Data-DVD (eg including a video.img file or any data)
• as a Video-DVD
A. Data DVD is what You creat by just popping in a DVD disk and OK to format it.
B. Video-DVD - You make from within iDVD and insert thed DVD WHEN iDVD asks for it
(OR - Via Disk Util tool - Still introduced when asked to do it !)
(or via Roxio Toast™ - STILL not inserted until asked to do this)
So what You've done is a Data-DVD with Your movie as an .img file on it.
• Can only be playbacked on Your Mac
Open "Disk Util tool"
Then on Dasktop - Double click the .img file so that it creates a fake DVD disk
Then in "Disk Util tool" - select it and click the Burn (Nuclear) button
THEN insert a new DVD WHEN asked to do this.
NOW ! ! Select a lower Burn Speed eg 4xDVD - This will result in a DVD with few burn errors and
a PC will read it easier !
Use of quality DVD brand is also important - I use Verbatim
I use DVD-R
Good Luck - Bengt W

How can I add comments to an iPhoto slide show that will appear onscreen?

I have put together a slide show on iPhoto (6.0.6) and I'd like to have a line of text appear with several of the slides - things like "Beginning our hike - " and "Closing ceremonies". I haven't been able to find anything in the help to describe how to do that - can it be done? Thanks.

shcram:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There's an AppleScript that will take the contents of the comments field and put them in the Title field so they will display on a slideshow. When you're done you can use the Batch Change menu option to revert the Title to the file names. See my post here for the link to the script: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5400478&#5400478

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

This is my first time using iphoto, I am trying to make a slide show that I can then burn to a dvd. The slide show is complete, but I'm not sure where to go now. Can I burn the slide show from iphoto or do I have to export to imovie or idvd?

I have completed the slide show i am making, but not sure what to do now. I want to burn it to a dvd, but not sure if i can do that from iphoto or do i need to export to imovie or idvd? If i need to export, will iphoto save a copy in iphoto? This may be really stupid, but I don't see an obvious way to save my slide show in iphoto. Please Help!

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure 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, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is 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.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
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.
NOTE: If you're running iPhoto 9.5 the export options will be different.

How to make a java program that will give you the list of files in the dir

How can you make a program in java that will list all the files in a directory with out useing the File,FileWriter,FileReader,InputStreamReader,FileInputStream,RandomAccessFile etc. classes

What is with these instructors? So far today I have
seen
Do something 100 times, but don't use a loop
Format numbers, but don't use NumberFormat
and now this.
What are these people trying to teach?
Java??? I don't think so.Perhaps it is because these instructors are learning Java at the same time as their students. They are only one chapter ahead of the students. :(

In PS5 can I make a slide show that needs a key pressing to go to next slide

Hi I have been asked to make a DVD with a slide show on , made from a group of jpegs, that only shows a slide at a time and need a key pressing to move to the next image?. The way we used to do PowerPoint presentations. The only way I can think is use Explorer, make the first image full screen and scroll through using the cursor keys!!! Chris

99jon Thanks for quick and useful idea. Unfortunately I should have added in the question that the DVD was to be given to a friend who doesn't have Adobe software. Its like giving them a video DVD that they can just load and run. I am perhaps using a sledgehammer to crack a nut; its just that I started from this point, as PE/PS has a reliable DVD burner! Chris

Slide show that wont go away

I have a Muse slide show that will not go away. I deleted it and uploaded the new files and it still shows up on the server. I deleted the entire server and it still shows up. Ive quit Muse, reinstalled it and even did the 2014 update and the slide show still shows up even though it is not on the Muse design page. Any ideas?

Hi William,
One more thing that you can try is publish to a new trial site on business catalyst and see how that goes.
