I made an iMovie project that's over 2 hours long so iDVD won't let me burn it onto a DVD. What do I do now?

Would I need to switch the disk in the middle of it burning so it can burn the other side
No, you do not flip over the disk. The dual-layers are both on the same side of the disk. You can't see them, they are just there, and iDVD will do what is necessary if it needs to burn both layers.
You would only flip over a disk if it were a "double-sided" disk. That's an entirely different kind of disk and it has only one layer on each side. Those are much older kinds of disks that were used commercially before the advent of dual-layer disks. I don't know anyone who uses them any more.

IDVD 5 won't burn any of my projects that are over an hour

I'm okay if I can background encode a project--it seems to burn fine.
Since I can't background encode a project that's over an hour, these will not burn properly...
any ideas?

Hi Patricia
One more thing.
iDVD and iMovie work is very dependant on that there is lot's of free space
on Your internal hard disk.
less than 10Gb - You get most probably problems or no DVD burning at all.
I use to recommend 25Gb free - this is more than needed but it will work
so much better/faster.
Why ?
iDVD needs space to calculate and store the DVD in construction
Mac OS is in reallity UNIX and UNIX uses lots of temp-files AND virtual
memory managments = Lot's of time consumed to handle this and the
result is extreme DVD burnings times - if it results in anything at all
(often happening and confusing)

I made a iMovie project and it is not letting me share it on youtube.

I made an iMovie project that is over 15 minutes long and I cannot cut it down at all because it is for a project. It will not let me share it to my Youtube channel and does not show up. Please help.

Clean iPhone charging port very well with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol.

My iMovie project staggers/skips over my transitions...I read that I need to optimize each clip. I did this individually and it worked but was time consuming. Is there a way to optimize all of my clips at once upon import?

When you import, the import screen should give you the option to optimize clips. Select Optimize - Full Size.
I think you can also right-click on the Event Name and it will let you optimize all clips in the Event, but I haven't tried it lately.

My daughter made an iMovie project using picures from her Camera Roll and then delted the pictures from her camera roll and now she can not export the project. Does anyone know of a way to still export this project?

There's Toast.

Final Cut Pro X will also burn DVDs.

How large is your movie? Is it possible that you could output it as a QuickTime file and then burn that as a data DVD? Is uploading to YouTube an option?

I made a video of our summer vacation on imovie. It's over an hour long. When I try to share it, the audio syncs incorrectly at about the 15 minute mark and is off for the rest of the movie. Is there a way to fix this? I think I have imovie 09.

If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

i made a imovie project and it has many transitions and stills and music soundtrack and rolling comments and text embedded in it. . I try and export it and it wont prepare the project beyond 16 minutes and shuts down every time. I have tried exporting it to movies idvd itunes,and quicktime in a variety of sizes although not the smallest as I want to watch it on my computer and tv. All videos were recorded on an iphone. Apple store couldn't help me and suggested I redo part of the project. It is a really good project and would take hours to redo it . I just want to export it. Can any one please help???

I previously made an iMovie project, but with the new version of iMovie (10.0.1) it does not have the option to import. How do I retrieve my old iMovie project?

You have to upgrade your iMovie 9 projects from iMovie 10 before you can use them. See:

How can I save iMovie projects that are in process to my external hard drive?

I am working on several iMovie projects that won't be finalized until I have collected all raw footage. I want to save what I have done thus far to my external hard drive. I have tried to click and drag tot he drive but it won't drop. What am I missing?

OK you need to click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK in iMovie. Then you can drag within iMovie. You must hold the Command key down as you drag, or you will COPY not MOVE.
If you are trying to save space, the large files are in the Events. You can also move them by Command Drag within iMovie.

I made a imovie out of a group of photos and added music. When I burned to DVD on iDVD and played back the disc all of the photos were larger than the frame could accommodate and the sides were cut off. I also tried resizing from 16 9 to 4 3 and no better

I made and iMovie out of a group of photos and added music. When I burned to I DVD the pictures came out to wide to fit into the frame. I tried again by changing the size from 16 9 to 4 3 and it didn't make any difference. Would going to share to browser rather than directly to share to IDVD make a difference?

What do the photos look like if you play the movie within iMovie? Sounds like adjusting Ken Burns would help.

I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported and edited them in iMovie and then burned them onto a DVD using iDVD. I can see the weak jerkiness when panning in both laterally and vertically. I shoot with a camcorder Canon

I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported
and edited them in iMovie and then burned them onto a DVD using iDVD.
I can see the weak jerkiness when panning in both laterally
and vertically.
I shoot with a camcorder Canon Vixia HF10. The camera has been set to deliver HD quality (1920x1080). But I have accidentally filmed with a frame rate of 60 (?).
When I import the films in iMovie I have been asked if I want to change to frame rate 30 (instead of 25). I have chosen 30.
Could it be the setting of a frame rate 60 in my camcorder that causes jerkiness when panning or what else?

I have a DVD project that takes about 14 hours to generate. Is there any way to periodically save it during encoding so power failures or other problems do not require a complete restart?

No. Are you saving the project as a disk image rather than burning directly to disk from iDVD? If not then that's what I suggest you do. That will separate the encoding process from the burn process to save time and disks if the encoding is bad. It also lets you burn a second or third disk without having to encode again.
