I want to create this DVD in iDVD but...

I created a project in iMovie and every time I try to share it by publishing it in Media Browser or iDVD during and after a few hrs of it's upload iMovie quits unexpectedly every time before it finishes. And I've been trying to create this DVD for months. At first the movie project was ready to burn on iDVD, and during the burning process it stopped, saying there was a problem with multiplexing or something it it would not finish burning the movie. I have since did some adjustments on the project, and now iMovie quits after several hrs the publishing process, so I can't even see if the iDVD burning will work if I tried it again because iMovie won't complete the publishing process, it "unexpectedly quits" every time..

Your target size for free space available on your Mac HD is around 25GB at a minimum for DVD project burning. To find out how much free space is available go to your Mac HD, hold down the Option key and click on the icon. Choose Get Info.
The field you are most interested in looking at is the one titled Available: which tells you how much free space you have. If you are over 25GBytes available, you're not running out of hard drive space to create the DVD project.

    Hi
    No Menu DVD
    from. Mishmunken
    How to create a DVD in iDVD6 without menu (there are several options)
    1. Easy. Drop your iMovie in the auto-play box in iDVD's Map View, then set your auto-play item (your movie) to loop continuously.
    Disadvantage. The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
    2. Still easy. If you don't want your (auto-play) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the drop-zone (text needs to be black as well).
    Disadvantage. The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
    3. Still quite easy but takes more time. Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
    Disadvantage. One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
    4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software. Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn.
    Disadvantage. you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
    5. The "hard way". Post-production with myDVDedit (free-ware)
    Tools necessary. myDVDedit ( www.mydvdedit.com )
    • create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
    • Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
    • Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
    • Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
    • Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
    • Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned. If it works save and close myDVDedit.
    • Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager.

  • I want to create a DVD of JPEG images

    I want to create a DVD of JPEG images from multiple albums in my catalog.  I am using Windows 7 and Premier Elements 11.  I have not been able to insert more than one menu marker in my "video."  Any suggestions?

    BobHabig32453
    I seldom ran across a question to which I could offer an abridged answer. Sorry about that.
    There is an assortment of miscellaneous information to guide your path as to what you can and cannot do with regard to a Premiere Elements DVD Template that represent the Main Menu and Scene Menu set. The number and kind of menu markers that you place on the Timeline are linked to the Menus - Main Menu or Scene Menu depending whether you have placed a Main Menu Marker or Scene Marker on the Timeline. Again, do not put a Stop Marker at the end of the last file on the Timeline.
    Each movie (in your case album) cannot have its own Scene Selection page or pages. All the Timeline scene markers representation found on the Scene Selection page or pages is there in the order that each was placed on the Timeline. There is a limited amount of space under each scene thumbnail, and you do want to avoid button overlap.
    Each main menu and scene menu that came with the program is designed with a certain number of buttons per page (Main Menu page or Scene Selection page).  When the number of Timeline markers exceed the number of designed in buttons per page, the buttons spill over to additional pages (each a copy of the first).
    Most Main Menu pages come with Play All button, Scene Selection button, and some with Main Menu or Bonus Movie button. Most are text type buttons, fewer are thumbnail type buttons for this Main Menu. You see the thumbnail type buttons in the Scene Selection Page, and typically the maximum number there is about 6, may goes to 8 in some rare instances.
    Once you introduce Stop Markers to separate the multi movie type setup, your Play Movie (Play All) button on the Main Menu is meaningless.  And, the reminder, two menu markers cannot occupy the same spot on the Timeline.
    Important to the project are the pixel dimensions of the photos and the duration of the content. If you are heading for DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc Standard or Widescreen, the pixel dimensions should not exceed 1000 x 750 pixel  (landscape) – classical recommendation here and elsewhere. Greater than that typically does not accomplish much other than stressing out the program.  The level of computer resources can often dictate whether the program stress will set in sooner or later. That 1000 x 750 which is not written in stone is close enough to the export standard and will leave some room for pans and zooms if needed. Look to the Premiere Elements burn dialog prior to burn to and look at the Quality Section’s values for Space Required and Bitrate. The DVD-R  4.7 GB/120 min is in reality 4.3 GB and the “for best results” classical recommendation is not to exceed 90 minutes for this type of disc. There is also the DVD double layer disc 8.5 GB (really 7.3 GB)/240 minutes to think about.
    How does this all impact what you outlined for what you would like to do? Many thoughts on that, but for starters:
    Are your photos sized properly for a NTSC or PAL DV Standard or Widescreen project? Are you heading for NTSC or PAL DVD-VIDEO Standard or Widescreen? Are you considering Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc in this regard for your Premiere Elements project.
    How many albums do you envision in each of your planned DVD discs. I suspect the number is going to be in excess of 6 or 8. Here some of the considerations might be:
    …switch the names of the .psd files for the main and scene menu (just the names) so that you can take advantage of the larger number of scene buttons on an already designed Scene Menu. The Timeline markers are Main Menu Markers in this instance, no Scene Markers. Result: One page Main Menu with thumbnails there displaying the first photo in each album.
    …editing the .psd file for a DVD Template to add more buttons to the design. That requires strict adherence to requirements for doing that, including editing with Photoshop CS and later or a version of Photoshop Elements that will open the Layer Groups of the .psd so that you can get at the Folders and Files that you need to modify/duplicate and the like.
    If you wanted text buttons instead of thumbnail buttons, you could look at a DVD Menu such as Faux Widescreen Main Menu Page and customizing that.
    Not sure if long trip descriptions (text) would be feasible. I can offer a how to for creating a page for information before the main menu (like those FBI notices) if you thought that might be appropriate for any overview trip descriptions per disk. Lots of details, Lots of choices, but often with limitations and special considerations if you are restricted to what comes as is with the program.
    Please review the above and then we could fine tune with more specifics.
    Thanks.

  • How do I remove iMessage "sign in" box from my IPad "messages" screen. I don't want to create a new Apple ID but I can't close this box.

    When selecting the "Messages" sceen on my IPad, the iMessage "Sign in" box appears on the screen. I don't want to create a new Apple ID but I can't close this box which is preventing me using the normal text message screen. How do I get rid of this sign-in box?

    Yeah i have that same type of problem, sorta.
    I made my apple id today on my ipad 2 ios 6 update and i went straight to logging in on iMessage, i logged in, after reading i clicked next, i got the email to verify on my ipod so i verified but as it was still verifying on the ipad it went right back to the log in box. this repeated itself over and over, help?

  • After creating a new slideshow I export it with the  setting HD 1080p it is then saved as a .mov i then create a dvd in idvd and the quality is not  as good as the original photo's when viewed on the monitor or a TV, am i doing something wrong?

    DVD's are only 640 x 480 (interlaced), so yes, the quality is not nearly as good.  You should probably create your .mov in DV format to best match the DVD format

    Hi
    And if You change view - in main "window/view field" so that You see the box-plot structure.
    No exclamation marks there either ?
    and non at the front page ?
    iDVD do not copy Your material - only points to where it is stored. So if on any external hard disks, USB-memories, CDs or DVDs are missing - assetts are broken.
    Or if You changed location of any material or directed iPhoto or iTunes or GarageBand to a new Library - Then iMovie/iDVD also get's lost.

  • Want to create a dvd in encore, i have created dvd2-mpeg file and have timeline premiere?

    hello guys
    i hope you can help
    i have adobe premiere cs6 and i have created a dvd2-mpeg file which i want to burn to dvd, its about 7 gb. i want to fit this on a single dvd or dual layer dvd if quality is a problem
    i have been told encore can encode the files in the right format etc
    please can you advise me on the steps i need to do so i can create a dvd disk please?
    i have a macbook air which doesnt have a disk drive, so i will need the files to be copied on an external drive and burnt to a disk on another computer..

    Hello, and welcome to the forums.
    You'll need to put this onto a dual layer project, as single layer will only get you to 4.7GB (not quite as much as it seems, either, as DVD Gb are smaller than computer Gb are).
    You do not mention anything about menus or navigational aids on your DVD - are these required?
    Also, what form is your audio in please? MPEG audio is not a good idea, and for DVD use the files ideally need to be "Elementary streams", meaning separate video & audio files.
    A simple slutiom might be to go back to your premiere pro project, and take the original timeline - before you transcoded it to MPEG-2 - and send this to Encore using Dynamic Linking. This will launch Encore for you, and place your premiere timeline into an Encore project.
    There you can create your menus and set all your navigational stuff up.
    When completed, simply compile the project to a DVD image - this will create an ISO file that can be moved for burning.
    That's the short answer, but it can get a lot more complicated.
    For starters, your audio file will need to be in a DVD compliant type- that means either LPCM or Dolby Digital.
    LPCM is the best quality, but uses a lot more bits & reduces available space for your film so you need to decide how important the audio content is.
    Encore will allow you to set the audio default to LPCM, and will then try to get the best fit for your video file in "Automatic" mode.
    Once you can let me know the aswers above (are menus needed, what is your audio file) etc, I can walk you through the steps needed.

  • I have 3  h.264 files which i want to create a dvd movie with?

    hi guys
    i hope you can help.
    i have 3 seperate h.264 files (video has been graded and colour corrected) which i want to put on a dvd as one seamless movie.
    my friend did the exporting and had to do it in smaller chunks because it kept crashing his computer., the format he used was h.264, now its very important that i can create a dvd movie with these files to be viewed on a standalone dvd player..
    how would do i this? most efficient method and preserve  good quality?

    One thing to be aware of is when you burn a disk image in Encore, you'll end up with a .iso disk image file.  In the past I made the mistake of dragging the .iso file into the  dvd-r folder and burning it from finder.   This made it so it burned as a data DVD that didn't play on my DVD player.  In order to make playable copies of the DVD using the disc image you have to use the apple Disk Utility application located in utilities to burn a playable DVD.  Do this...
    Open Disk Utility located in / Applications / Utilities /  Disk Utility.
    Click Burn in  the tool bar at the top of the window and select your Adobe Encore disc image (.iso).
          3.  Select the Appropriate DVD burning drive and insert your blank disc. Make sure your disc is free of dust and fingerprints before burning to reduce the probability of failure.
         4. Click Burn to create your DVD disc.
         5. Remember to test your disc in several DVD players if possible before burning additional copies.

  • I want the create this report but how to???????????????????????????????

    I'm created my oracle10g database with oracle XE databaselink and create view on XE for my customer report. And then create simple report. Everythings ok but when I push the run report report came with all data but I don't want to when push the run button. I want to run and then write customer ID and then push the GO button and then only came to 1 data or info. Can I do this and how???
    Help me please, I'm working about this a few days but I can't do anything :(((
    This is so important for me, help me please...

    Hi,
    OK
    Assuming you are using Page 1 for the report, do the following:
    1 - Create a new HTML Region called "Search" and put this above your report on the page layout
    2 - Add a normal Text item called "P1_CUSTOMER_ID" into the new region - this will be where your user enters in the CUSTOMER_ID value that they want the report to filter by
    3 - Add a Hidden Item called "P1_DISPLAY" into the new region. Set the Default Value for this item to N. If this is 'Y', the report will be shown - if this is 'N' the report is hidden
    4 - Add a button called "P1_SEARCH" into the new region
    5 - Add a button called "P1_RESET" into the new region
    6 - Update your SQL statement to include a WHERE clause:
    SELECT ....
    FROM ....
    WHERE CUSTOMER_ID = :P1_CUSTOMER_ID
    (you may have to do TO_NUMBER(:P1_CUSTOMER_ID) if your CUSTOMER_ID field is numeric)
    7 - Add a branch to the page that branches to Page 1 and sets P1_DISPLAY to Y. Set this branch to be run only when the P1_SEARCH button is clicked
    8 - Add another branch to the page that branches to Page 1 and sets P1_DISPLAY to N. Ensure that this has a higher sequence number than the first branch
    9 - Finally, add a Conditional Display to the report region. Set the Condition Type to "Value of Item in Expression 1 = Expression 2". Enter P1_DISPLAY into Expression 1 and Y into Expression 2

  • Problems in image creating a DVD with IDVD

    Hello to everybody
    I am triying to make a DVD with a quicktime movie file that I created with FinalCut. This file is in 16/9 and looks great when I play ot in the computer using quicktime player. When I create de DVD and play it some quality is lost and the image is like jumping a little bit, I know the lost of quelity can be a normal thing due to compression, but the image jumping ... Can i resolve that?
    Thanks a lot for your help

    What format is the output from Final Cut?
    If you have FCP, you should also have Compressor and DVD Studio Pro. If that is the case, you'll get much better results exporting your work from FCP using "current settings" then bringing that file into Compressor and using one of the DVD presets that is appropriate for the length of the material to encode your m2v (video) and ac3 (audio) components. Once encoded, bring them into DVDSP and build/burn your disk.

  • Creating a DVD Style menu but to play on a media player?

    Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but guessing it's the right crowd to ask This may be a really dumb question, I've done a quick search online but struggling for a solution/direction?
    Task:
    1. I need to create a menu system to play on a media player connected to a HD TV. As it's likely more reliable, less time consuming to make and more portable than DVD (including the player itself).
    2. So, I still need to be able to have a menu/chapter system to access the media I have created. Basically, same as a DVD but playing a file on a Media Player connected via HDMI to any widescreen HD TV.
    I have seen a cheap media player that plays a broad range of files like TS files etc, so know accessing some ripped DVD's menus using the media player's remote maybe possible? But I want to create everything from scratch. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Notes:
    a. I'm creating projects in Final Cut Pro x/Motion and can use Encore (now that DVD Studio Pro is dead). I have Compressor too.
    b. I'm not too clued up about compression, but I ideally want to export out of FCPX in the best quality and does it then matter about PAL/NTSC, can I keep everything better quality if I'm not having to compress it to author it to DVD.
    It seems like a weird void area because DVD is slowly dying, whilst I have the need to continue having that same experince of the cool menu/chapter system? Hmm! Hope that makes sense? Long Day!

    Thanks so much for your reply! Yea, this is what I've researched so far, but I'm looking to try not compress to MPEG2. Smaller text looks pixelated when saving to DVD.
    I noticed that Encore outputs BlueRay and can save out as a folder, but not sure how this works from the standpoint of how the media player would treat it?
    I'm really surprised I can't find any articles or workflows relating to different ways of doing this? Guess I'll have to go it alone and report back if nobody has attempted this?
