I want to burn a DVD of a slideshow I made using iPhoto. Can anyone tell me how?

I have made a slide show from photos in iPhoto. It works fine and I have published it to my "me gallery". I now want to make a DVD of this slideshow. I have tried to use an old version of Toast and I get an error message after the slideshow has been formated and "supposedly" burned. I've tried to burn it from the iTunes application and that doesn't work either. Can anyone help?

I would post in the iPhoto forum.

Congratulations on the new Mini. Are you saying you tried burning and it does not play, or do you want to burn it only for the computer to be able to play it?

iMovie '11, what steps am I missing, when I go to SHARE, IDVD is grey and not activated, only ITUNES and MEDIA BROWSER? I want to burn a DVD.

Share your movie to the Media Browser. Then, in iDVD, drag your movie in from the Media Browser at the bottom right.
THe Share to iDVD option is only activated if your source material is DV or AVCHD.

I downloaded a movie from iTunes. I wanted to burn a DVD so I dragged the movie onto a blank DVD and it appeared to burn it correctly. When I try to play the movie from this DVD I get an error message referencing "you can't open the application mediaio

I downloaded a movie from iTunes. I wanted to burn a DVD of the movie which I could play on my home entertainment system. After I had burned the DVD I tried to play the movie from it on the computer and got the message " You can't open the application mediaioserver because it may be damaged or incomplete". What is this all about? Are there settings I need to change? PS: I tried to play the DVD on my home DVD player and it also doesn't work. Help!

I want to burn a DVD and keep the pictures in the files

I am using iPhoto 8. I have 46 albums that I created for one vacation. I have organized all of the pictures from 5 cameras and want to burn a DVD keeping the pictures in those albums so others can create a slideshow from them. When I burned a DVD the files did not show up, so all of the work was for nothing. How can I burn the DVD and keep the files intact so other people do not need to do the same work that I have already completed?

As Terence mentioned for those with Macs and iPhoto select the albums you've created and use the Share ➙ Burn menu option. This will create a mini library on the disk that others can view in iPhoto and run slideshows from the photos in the album or copy those albums into their library for more control.

The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that nothing could be further from the truth has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD.

In iMovie or iphoto I have made a good slide show with music. I want to burn to DVD disc for viewing on any DVD player.

In iMovie or in iPhoto I have made slideshows that I want to burn to a DVD disc. But they only play on computers and I want it to play on DVD players. How do I do that?

Hi
You need to do a Video-DVD
Your Mac can only make Data-DVDs without any extra program.
• If it's some Years old then iDVD was included to do this
• If brand New - iDVD is not supplied any more. Nor does Apple sell it either.
(Can be bougth from Amazon or second handed in boxed version of iLife. The iLife on Apple Store do not contain iDVD or iWeb any more)
alt. is
If there are/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.

please advise!
thanks

Buy iDVD.
Yes, there are other programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the substitutes. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD.
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/idvd.html
With iDVD you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.
IDVD is easy to get. It is available on disk as part of iLife 11.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40. (works with all Mac OS 10.5 and newer.)

I want to burn a DVD of what I hae recorded on my ipad. Is there a way to do this?

I want to burn a DVD of what I have recorded on my ipad. Is there a way to do this?

Directly from the iPad, no. You will need to get the file (whatever it is, you don't say) onto your computer. Depending on what it is and what app controls it, you can email it, use a tool such as drop copy or drop box.
If you provide a bit more detail, more specific advice might be possible.

Has anyone had the iMac erase all files in a folder when burning a dvd of some of the file. All that remain are the files that I burned.

I had a folder that contained picture, both raw and jpgs from a trip that I had taken. I wanted to burn a dvd of the folder that had 9 subfolders in it. I got a message that it was too large. I told it what directory I wanted and it created the dvd. I when to get some additional files and all of my pictures, under each of the subfolders are gone. The only thing that is under the subfolders is the directory that I burned to dvd. Has anyone else had this problem? If so were you able to recover the pictures? I do have the backed up but am currently out of town and will not be back for a month.
Thanks
Mike Booher

First Welcome to the Discussions.
Depending on the Burning Software are you using. IF you drag the folder with the sub folders in the original folder if it is to large it will not burn it.
Your best option is to seperate the Original Folder in 1/2 and then try to burn it on 2 seperate DVD's this way you would meet the size critera for the software.
If you had good burning Software and were able to use dual layer it probably would have burned the entire folder and it would have fit.
If you continue to have issues after I have explained it to you come back and someone will help you.
Just remember that Apples burning Software is entry level and doesn't have the functions of the top of the line in burning Software, Like Roxio, or DVD FAB, these 2 give you so many more options.
Cheers

Just trying iMovie, I am trying to burn a dvd it's pointing me to iDVD is that a program that I need to purchase?

i took video of a friends wedding and uploaded it to my imac 27. I want to burn a dvd of the video that i captured. iMovie is pointing me to an application iDVD is this a program that I need to purchase? I am running Lion on this iMac27.

Unfortunately, Apple discontinued iDVD; but, you can either try the other poster's suggestion or buy a retail iLife 11 disk at many online resellers. iDVD is the best software available with its customizable menus and themes to take your project from amateur to pzazz! Most Apple stores no longer have the retail iLife 11.
And, when you want to export your movie from iMovie, use the following settings - they produce the best quality especially if you shoot your footage in HD: use the Share > Export using Quicktime. In the resulting window, use these settings (by clicking on Options):

A DVD is not editable but there is a work around. Create a disk image with your Disk Utility program and put your content on it. When you are finished, burn the DVD using the disk image as your master. Don't delete the image. When you are ready to make edits, edit the content on the disk image and use it to burn the next DVD.
