  • Imovie slideshow project to DVD

    Do I need iDVD to convert my iMovie slideshow project to a dvd and play in a dvd player?

    Hi
    First of all - You need a DVD authoring program as iDVD. (No way around this - but there are free alt. as Burn™)
    In iMovie'13 (vers 10.0.x) - Select SideShow (Video) project.
    Share to file and as 460p - NOTHING ELSE !
    Close iMovie and open iDVD
    Import the Shared file
    Select Encoding quality
    In iDVF pref / Advanced - Burn Speed max 4 rather x2)
    Save as a DiskImage
    Test this to see all is OK
    Burn the DVD
    I only use - Verbatim DVD-R as they works greatly to me - NEVER Memorex, NoName or other cheap media = PROBLEMS
    Good Luck - Yours Bengt W

  • Created a movie in IMOVIE and transferred it to dvd but cannot get it to play on my dvd player.  i downloaded the free Burn program since i don't have idvd on my new mac  the dvd comes up disk error or cannot read

    created a movie in IMOVIE and transferred it to dvd but cannot get it to play on my dvd player.  i downloaded the free Burn program since i don't have idvd on my new mac  the dvd comes up disk error or cannot read.  I am using a dvd-r dvd and my dvd player says that it uses this type of dvd.  Any suggestions.  I spoke to an Apple Support person who helped me burn the dvd but it still didn't work...help???

    There's a difference between a data DVD, and a DVD-Video.  I believe you made a data DVD, which can't be played in a video player.  The Burn feature of the Finder can't author a DVD-V, just data discs.   
    I assume you made a Project, and put clips from your Event Library into the Project.  But then, how did you output your Project, using the SHARE menu? 
    When I pull down iMovie '11s SHARE menu, "iDVD..." is one of the options.  It's the job of iDVD to make the menu that appears when you insert a DVD into your player (that says the title, and chapters, and extras, etc.).  You need software that will made a DVD-V disc.  Lacking that, you might be able to go to Share/Export Movie... or Share/Export using QuickTime... to get your video into a format that software like Roxio's Toast could burn. 

  • Archiving an iMovie HD project to a DVD disc

    I want to back up an iMovie HD project to a DVD disc in order to free up some hard drive space.
    To do so I:
    1. Chose "Burn project to disc" from the File menu.
    2. Confirmed that I wanted to create an archive of my project, and
    3. Inserted a bland DVD-RW, and clicked "Burn".
    A dropdown told me that the "Project was too large to fit the disc". (The movie was l hour, 2 min. long). I subsequently tried to archive a 25 min. movie with the same result.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    If your iMovie HD movie is in DV video form, it requires 13 GB of space per hour! This means you could fit about 20 minutes of DV video content on a DVD. You would need to do this from the Finder.
    BTW, iDVD isn't designed to archive iMovie movies to DVDs, it's designed to mpg-2 encode video content and create video DVDs.
    iDVD will let you create an iDVD project archive that contains ALL the elements that went into making that project. However, for the reason above, such archive will be VERY large and will require storing on something like an external hard drive.

  • TS3276 An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?

    For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
    If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
    Problem solved.
    And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.

    The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
    Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
    Read up the issue.
    http://stevejenkins.com/blog/2010/01/using-the-local-default-gateway-with-a-wind ows-vpn-connection/
    Cisco vpn client..
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
    I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
    The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
    It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
    Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

    The 2009's didn't support sound on HDMI. That came in 2010. Are you sure it ever worked?

  • Scanning in Mavericks? I can no longer use the scanning function in my HP Officejet 4500. HP says to go through Preview, Image Capture, or Print/Scan in System Prefs. Still doesn't work. Any ideas/similar experiences?

    Scanning in Mavericks? I can no longer use the scanning function in my HP Officejet 4500.
    HP says to go through Preview, Image Capture, or Print/Scan in System Prefs.
    Still doesn't work. Any ideas/similar experiences?

    Sure it is, yet it's called HP LaserJet Professional M1210nf MFP Series *
    Today, I followed your other advice, and deleted the printer, deleted the /Library/Printer/hp folder, downloaded the entire set of driver, re-installed the printer twice, once with the driver, once with Bonjour.
    The Bonjour Printer has the scan option active, but it is doesn't work (refer to above.), it is called M1217nfw
    The Apple Driver Printer doesn't show the scan option at all, it is called M1217nf (as on the http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP list.) This model number doesn't exist, as far as I can tell. 
    Still, everything works perfectly in Snow Leopard, for a MF printer that has been manufactured years after Snow Leopard was released.
    Why going up in software version means going backwards in compatiblity for brand new product is really the question that puzzles me here.

  • Working in Pages a folder with the Pages icon in a folder appeared on my desktop  I cannot move it delete it do anything to it. Any idea what it might be? Thank you.

    While working in Pages a folder appeared on my desktop with the Pages icon on it. I don't know how it got there. It will not let me move it on the desktop. I will not let me delete it. It will not let me do anything to it. Any idea what I might have done to create this alien?
    Any help greatly appreciated with thanks in advance.

    Restart Finder by pressing option +  command + Esc. Select Finder int he window that pops up and click on the Start/restart button.
    You could also try deleting the com.apple.finder.plist file from Users > your name > Library > Preferences
    Restarting the computer in safe mode , press the Shift key just after you heard the start chime. Keep it pressed until you see the grey apple. See if the folder is gone or can be moved.

    I've just updated to iOS 7.1.1 on my iPhone5, and now it won't sync (I get error -50) - any ideas?

    I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.
