How to make iMovie dvd with Toast and external burner

I have a powerbook G4 (without superdrive so have an external DVD burner) and Toast. But Toast wont allow me to drag iMovie file there. Help?
Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  

You first have to make that iMovie project into a DVD project in iDVD, then save that as a disk image, and burn the disk image in Toast.

  • How to make a DVD disk image to be burned from a PC?

    I need to make a DVD with DVD-SP, save a disc image, upload it have someone on a PC download it and burn it.
    Is this possible? Anybody been succesful at this?
    thanks

    If they have a burning program that recognizes VIDEO_TS files, no problem.
    You need to remove two files from VIDEO_TS first called .LAY and .LAYOUT. They are only required by DVD SP and not the final disc.
    To be safe make a top level folder called NAME_OF_FILM (max 32 characters) and put VIDEO_TS in there together with an empty folder named AUDIO_TS.
    Actually, DVD SP should generate this for you it will be where ever the Build folder is set to be saved in Preferences.
    Don't make a Mac disk image. PCs can't read them. A .zip file or ISO (Toast makes them) is probably better.

  • Editing complete, now how to make a DVD with menu

    This is my first go through with PP CS4 and I'm nearly complete. I've edited my entire video and I've organized my project into about 40 sequences. Now I'd like to create a DVD menu for it and export the entire project to DVD (likely more than one since it totals nearly 4 hours). I'm looking to create a looping video at the menu with a couple options like "play all", "scene selection", and "bonus features". Each of my sequences is a different scene. What is my next step, what program(s) do I use from here to make this happen? After reading some other threads it looks like Encore is the direction I need to head in, but since this is my first time, I'm unfamiliar at the moment.
    Any tips and/or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

  • How to make clipping mask with text and vector pattern?

    Hey there guys, any help would be greatly appreciated. Im making a logo for a client and am having a nightmare of a time trying to properly use the clipping masks in illustrator CS5. I copied and pasted the  logo I made behind itself with a different color just for a drop shadow-like effect. And now I'm trying to apply this diagonal line pattern I created over top the "shadow" I made to give it some texture.
    Here's an example of what I'm going for, only imagine the line pattern on the text instead of banner

    Eric,
    As I (mis)understand it, you can either keep the Type live (or outline it) and:
    1) Create one copy of the pattern for each Type object (this will give you the opportunity of having different(ly coloured) patterns;
    2) For each Type object, select the type object and one of the patterns and Object>Clipping Path>Make;
    or you can:
    1) Select both Type objects and Type>Create Outlines, then Object>Compound Path>Make;
    2) Select the compound object and the pattern and Object>Clipping Path>Make.

  • How to make a dvd with audio track after exporting using media encoder? I have 2 seperate files??

    Hello,
    I need to just burn a video I finished. It's a m2v file and so I have a AC3 audio tack and a video track. I thought I was good to go, but I cannot figure out how to burn the audio and the video to the same disk! This is very annoying as the settings I have to use for export to keep video quality will give me 2 seperate files.
    So, what programs do you use or recommend that allow me to add an audio track? I don't want people to have the option of switching between tracks I just want a normal track like you have when watching a movie, I mean it just plays by default.
    Thanks in adv.
    Mark

    The caveats that I would issue to others are:
    1.) muxed Assets often work fine, but can cause problems. Properly spec'ed. elemental streams seem to never cause problems.
    2.) Encore will allow one to populate a Timeline with multiple Assets. However, it can get very confused in some cases. One is where an Audio Clip is just an Audio Unit, or two, too long, and one has a tiny gap, between their Videos. Using one Timeline per Sequence will always work, so long as the Assets are properly spec'ed.
    I'm not saying that either of these WILL cause problems. Many do similar with zero issues. However, there is the potential for problems. Just use with care.
    Good luck,

  • How to make a frame with components and JTextAreas on it?

    on the Window 98 System, when you press F1 on the keyboard, you will get a window(frame) where there are "buttons" and "textAreas".
    i would like to create a JFrame like that, but how to realize it?
    thanks a lot!!!

    What do you want to do?
    You can easily create a JFrame, and then create JButtons and JTextAreas and then add() them to the JFrame's content pane.
    But you must know that already, so it must be something different you are confused about. What is it?

  • Can I Make A DVD With Video & 24-Bit Audio?

    I want to make a DVD with videos and, as a special feature, 13 24-bit enhanced playable audio tracks.
    Is this possible in iDVD?
    Thanks!

    Toast 8 has a 96kHz/24-bit option in making Music DVDs as well as a 48 kHz/24-bit option. (Note: these are NOT DVD-Audio discs which require a special player.)
    'Normal' Toast audio is 48 kHz/16-bit.

  • I produced a film in iMovie and send it to iDVD to make a DVD with a theme. When everything was ready it starts at my mac-computer. But at the TV the theme always comes at the end of the film not at the beginning. What have I to change, what´s wrong?

    I produced a film in imovie and send it to idvd to make a dvd with a theme. After finishing all the dvd starts in my mac-computer and first comes the theme and then the film.
    But when I start it with a dvd-recorder at tv first the film comes an at the end of the film the theme comes. What did I wrong? Where is my mistake?

    Hi
    A. Do not Use - Share to iDVD - in any iMovie version at all !
    B. Start a BRAND NEW iDVD project
    C. in iMovie'08 to 11 -  Share to Media Browser and as LARGE - NOT HD or other resolution as quality will be even worse
    - in iMovie HD6 - just close it and from within iDVD import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it)
    - FinalCut - Export as QuickTime Movie - NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION - AT ALL !
    D. When in iDVD - see to that in the Lay-out menu (when it looks like a box-plott) there ARE NOTHING in the upper left most box (Auto Start box). As this overruns any Menu.
    E. Save as a DiskImage - TEST this first - befor burning any DVDs
    Yours Bengt W

  • Where is the best place to make a slideshow with pictures and music on a mac?

    Where is the best place to make a slideshow with pictures and music on Macbook Pro?

    There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
    If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
    Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
    http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
    (Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico:  http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
    Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
    Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie  as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast,  for burning.
    You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
    To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

  • In JSF, how to make a menu with access control?

    In JSF, how to make a menu with access control?
    The access control can be guided by programming, database or other means if possible?
    Thanks

    I want to make a dvd menu in iMovie because i don't have IDVD and can't find anywhere to download it?
    For making DVDs I would recommend iMovie 06 and iDVD 09 both readily available on Amazon or eBay.  Shop for iLife 06 and iLife 09.
    You can make menus and chapters with any version of iMovie except the latest one. There's nothing wrong with iMovie 11 either but I prefer iMovie 06.
    By using iMovie 06 and iDVD 09 I make DVDs with professional moving menus with very little effort. They look almost as good as Hollywood.

  • Making a DVD with HD and SD assets

    How can I make a SD DVD with HD and SD assets and retain the highest quality on the HD material? I have tried mixing the short vidoes on an SD timeline in Final Cut Pro, then rendering out the HD and export using Best Quality 90 min DVD settings in Compressor. I then import that file into a DVDSP project, and then chapter out that track and make stories to create separate play buttons for each video and a Play All button as well. The quality of the HD material seems worse than that of the SD material. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks. Robin.

    Do you know how to best compress HD for optimal play on standard DVD players?
    If I am just dealing with HD material, I will send out the timeline as a self-contained .mov in ProRes (I like self-contained, saves some time on re-encoding) then use Compressor to make a SD m2v. You can start with the preset but then go in and change the frame controls to “Better” and also change the encoding rate if there is room to increase the rate.
    Calculating rates [information here|http://dvdstepbystep.com/faqs_7.php]
    Can get very good results from HD material delivered as SD format.
    When mixing things, it becomes more challenging. Depending on the material (is most of the material HD or SD in original format, can they be edited separately or do they need to go from one to the other to make the movie, etc.) I may try various approaches. If the majority of the footage is HD, I may just go with an HD timeline (though the SD material will not look as good.)
    When you say the quality of the HD material is worse, what is worse? Given all things being equal, camera quality (in other words you are not using an extremely high end SD camera and a $300 consumer HD cam, one is really good lighting with little movement, while the other is high speed race cars in streelights at night) the HD footage shouldn't look worse than the SD material...

  • How to make a DVD from MPEG-2 clips without re-encoding?

    I have many standard DVDs (in MPEG-2 unfortunately) with unedited video footage. I want to extract the best parts of those DVDs and compile them to a new DVD without re-encoding (no fancy scene transitions needed).
    I have a program called Cinematize 2, that lets me rip the parts I want as "Main Video Stream" (QT), Elementary streams or MPEG2- Program streams. I can save audio and video as one or two separate files. Which ones works best with DVDSP? I would prefer to save as MPEG-2 Program Stream (one file), as these files can also be played back on the computer with the VLC player.
    If I have many different MPEG-2 clips, if I make a DVD with DVDSP, can those clips be played back to back like a movie?
    I would appreciate any advice on how to to this the best way I want to have as many options open to me as possible in the future. In particular, in which state or format I should save the files from the DVDs, so that I am both able to watch them individually with VLC as well as edit them together in FCP or DVDSP.
    Thanks,
    Don

    Don
    You do need to use separate video and audio files, and Streamclip can do it right (I never used Cinematize!).
    And can it work with AC3 as well as WAV and AIFF
    You can use AIFF (uncompressed) audio and/or Dolby AC3. If you can try using AC3 audio in your DVD-R projects because first, it takes less space that AIFF (using AC3 you can fit 120 min of high quality video in a 4.7 disc) and second, because it has a lower bitrate. Using AIFF is a very common cause of formatting errors and playback problems, because highbitrate errors.
    I have yet not used DVDSP, so I'm not familiar with the process.
    You can visit [Drew13's site|http://www.dvdstepbystep.com> for some good tutorials.
    Hope that helps !
