IDVD burn of keynote looses some info

I want a steppable dvd of my keynote. I sent the keynote to iDVD and it looks and works fine on the computer in iDVD. But when I burn it to dvd then on the dvd most works great but there are a few transitions and slides that get messed up... maybe 2 out of 40. One slide gets skipped- and some transitions are not right. In iDVD it works just fine and not messed up.
Any suggestions?

Look in map view and let us know if you see any yellow triangles. If not then ...
Try burning another copy at 4x or lower and to quality SL Dvd-R like Verbatim or Maxell (avoid Memorex).
A disc image always helps in that you can test for proper playback using apple's dvd player app prior to burning to the above recommended media. It also helps isolate possible playback issues.

Hi, is true that I will loose some info while updating iPhone with latest software?

Hi, is true that I will loose some info while updating iPhone with latest software?
Thanks!

Shouldnt be? Itunes will back up your phone before applying updates, so even if something 'goes wrong', you can restore it to how it was.

How Can I burn a Keynote presentation?

Hi!
I'm Italian, I'm sorry for my bad English!
Here's my question:
I want to create an interactive CD with some relations that I made at school.
I created a Keynote file with all the slides, the hyperlinks exc...
Now i have to burn this file on a CD, so that also win users can watch and use it..!
I tried to export the document to QuickTime and to burn this video, But I have to preserve the hyperlinks!
(in quicktime I can use the hyperlinks, but when I burn the quicktime video, iDVD (and Toast) don't recognize the hyperlinks and burn the document as a simple video!)
So, how can I burn this Keynote document preserving all the Hyperlinks?
Thanks very much!
Andrea

Maybe try the Flash/HTML export option from Keynote '08? i've never used it, but worth a try. Apple took this option out in the Keynote 09 version. i haven't upgraded to it.
Flash has kind of taken over Director. No where near as easy as Keynote to program/use.
Hope that helps.

IDVD burning one project on multiple macs? where are project contents?

How do I burn one project on multiple macs? I have a idvd project I created in keynote, added music to it in Garageband, exported to quicktime, and now is in iDVD burning just fine. However I have tons of these dvd's to make, I would like to put all my mac's to work.
last night i tried to share the file, and it is just an alias when i drag it over from the macbook it was created on to my imac. the file says it is in use and locked, since the macbook that created it is burning it. If I wanted to brun on the imac, I had to wait until the macbook was done.
is there a way around this? What if I copied all files I used to make the idvd project to my imac or any computer i wanted to burn on? woudl it hen allow two macs to be burning the same project?
I figured I could do this just like on my PC, drag the file over and voila...no such luck, its like if i had dragged a shortcut over to another pc...if the first one is using the file, its locked. Basically how do i get to the actual contents of the project, so I can also bring them over and hopefully it will allow me to burn on multiple macs at the same time?
my next solution if that didn't work was to start copying dvd's using popcorn on the other macs while the macbook continues burning through idvd.
Any opinions on how i can duplicate a dvd fast...need alot of copies!

Also as to where the files are.
I-DVD project bundle: This is the file created when you save the project.
• [user]/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is located in your home folder.
• [root]/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is located at the root of your disk.
• /Network/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is on a network system specifically
configured by your system administrator for this purpose. (This is not the same as
having a server networked into your computer.)

Idvd burned to dvd+r not compatible with pc?

i've dragged an imovie to idvd, burned a dvd+r and turned it over to someone to show on a pc, and it's not reading.
i would appreciate your help!
thanks.

The DVD drives on some PCs will have trouble with DVD-R, but should be fine with +R. You might want to try reducing errors by slowing down the burning process and using the highest quality media (Verbatim is often recommended; I also use Sony). To burn slowly, you'll need to create a disc image from iDVD, and with older versions of iDVD, I've read that Patchburn software is needed. Search this forum for details.

Removing Length Restrictions in iDVD (Burning disk larger then 5GB)

Hi Ho all, i'm at my wits end here, i have been creating a dvd for my sisters friend her wedding, after finally completing everything but the dvd part i was really surprised when i went to save image it says "Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn this project, remove some content."
Let me first off by saying how disapointed of mac for putting this restriction on the software, i really need to get this lifted because the stuff is about 1.28GB thats the media but in iDVD it shows as 5.1GB. and it won't allow me to make any changes. Has someone made a hack for this or found a way around, because if i can save it as an image then i can use DVD2oneX and shrink it.
Cheers for all your help, im off to bed it's 5:05AM now, lol
[email protected] - if there is a solution please reply to this or email me, thanks

DVD Studio Pro, with Compressor, gives you more compression options. Particulary the ability to endcode AC3 audio which frees up space. Mind you, it is now only packaged with Final Cut Studio ... and that runs around 1,300 Cdn right now.
Also, there are some logical restrictions to how much video you can cram onto a single layer DVD. Even using Compressor to squeeze, say, 3 hours onto a single layer disk, you are knocking the numbers to the point where the quality is going to be affected.
In iDVD, when you have a project that is just shy of the two hour mark, you can definitely have some quality issues. Studio Pro gives you more options but as stated, not a price for the faint hearted.
And 80 bucks for Toast is a great deal. Although I use iDVD and DVD Studio Pro for my "movies" Toast is, in my humble opinion, a valuable DVD/CD creation tool

I import in HD and Export in HD 1280x720 and Use the IDVD burner How do I get the best quality? It seems to be a generation down on quality.

Need help with getting best quality for DVD's.

The best quality you can get is to first understand that the biggest frame you can play back using a DVD player is 720x480. So no matter how big the image is going into iDVD it is throwing away some information to get it all to fit 720x480. Your best option then is go to Share Menu > Media Browser... Then choose the Large size.
Open iDVD and find your video project by clicking on the Media button in the iDVD lower right hand corner. Then above that there's the media browser window with the Movies button on the right hand side. Click Movies button and browse for your project under the iMovie star icon.
Drag that project into a clip and burn the project to a DVD-R.

Why is iDVD burning incomplete?

I imported and edited my video in iMovie HD. I shared the video to iDVD and when I set everything up in the menus and all that, I burned my video and it ejects the blank DVD before it even starts burning. It ejects the disc at the "Multiplexing and burning..." stage, with a "Time remaining: about one minute". It says it's already done burning, but there is no burn mark on the DVD itself—it is still a blank DVD. I tried everything, I've gotten a few DVD's to burn, but some just won't burn.
How can I fix this issue?

Hi I managed to finally solve the problem and it was a simple DVD disc changing. SDMacuser reminded me of the speed of the DVD disc they have. The one I have is a 4X. I used a Fujifilm DVD+RW (no speed written on the disc).
What I did was a mix method as suggested on different postings:
1) Exported to idvd from imovie, with chapters. Change the navigation text. From +Why is iDVD burning incomplete?+ (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1991062&tstart=15)
2) I burn a disk image as J Keller suggested, and used Disk Utility to burn onto the DVD disc. From +Idvd ejecting while in the burn stage+ (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10293881#10293881)
I also burn successfully directly from iDVD using the faster speed DVD disc. So i would encourage everyone to check the burning speed of their DVD discs. It is usually written in big letters on the DVD disc surface: a number with a capital letter "X" as a metric. Eg. "2X", "16X". This might be the key to the incomplete burning problem.
I wasn't able to burn from iDVD to my DVD disc (with speed 4x), even after i have changed the burn speed settings of iDVD to 4x and 2x. Therefore i concluded that the problem is my disc.
How to change burn speed settings on iDVD:
-iDVD>Preferences>Advanced>Preferred DVD Burning Speed.
Lastly, the resources here really helped. Would encourage everyone to read thru the posts patiently. Most sincere thanks to everyone who contributed.

Will iDVD burn a dvd with surround sound?

I have a quicktime movie with surround sound I'd like to burn to a DVD. Will iDVD burn this and keep the surround intact?
If not, will the latest Toast do this?
If not, are there any other OSX apps that will burn a dvd with surround, preferably a cheap one? I know DVDSP will do it, but that's overkill for burning one disc.

Hey don't get me wrong, dolby digital surround is way
better than ProLogic, but give the dudes credit that
came up with ProLogic in the pre-dolby digital days
some credit, it is "true" surround.
Sure, it is surround, but it's not the same as having four separate channels. There are limitations to what you can encode, and you can end up with unintended issues on both stereo and surround material. It was a cool invention that was a big improvement on stereo, but it just isn't the same as actually having the channels. It just isn't "four true distinct signals" - it simply can't reproduce everything four true distinct signals can.
I should have said I need actual discrete channels.

Why doesn't iDVD burn changes made within iMovie?

I have iMovie 6.0.3 and iDVD 6.0.3 and have made several movies and DVDs over the past few years. But now have hit something very frustrating....
1) I've just completed a movie in iMovie. Took it to iDVD, created menus etc. then burned it to a DVD-RW. Noticed a couple of changes I wanted to make, namely a soundtrack volume adjustment, and a subtitle change (within iMovie). Made the changes in iMovie.
2) When I opened iDVD again, it said it noticed some changes in the iMovie project and would I accept them. Answered yes. When I reviewed these changes in iDVD preview, all was well. It showed the new subtitle.
3) Did another burn (3-4 hour process, mostly encoding) to disk image. Lo and behold, this new movie still showed the OLD subtitle!!
4) Deleted this disk image file. Checked the iDVD preview again, and it showed the corrected subtitle. Created a NEW disk image (for the THIRD time!) and four hours later discover that the OLD subtitle is still there!!!
What the heck is going on?? iMovie file was modified, resulting iDVD project file reflected the change, but the "burn" result does NOT reflect the change!!!! Why is iDVD Burn sill picking up the old version of my movie?____
Thanks-

You're right. Only selecting Advanced>Delete Encoded Assets did the trick. Otherwise, even though iDVD recognizes that the iMovie file had changed, it doesn't necessarily "pick up" all the changes ....unless you Delete Encoded Assets.
I don't know which changes iDVD does or doesn't pick up, but in future I will always Delete Assets to be sure. Saves lots of time in the long run.
THANKS for your help!!
P.S. I did not have background encoding enabled. Never do.

Re-import CD's into iTunes & not loose the info...

it's official : i'm definitely an idiot !!
my problem is that i've imported circa 750 CD's into iTunes, some of which iTunes got hold of artist's names & album/song titles - but many it didn't & i had to type these...big effort since i'm awful at it !
started listening to music & not wanting to sound like a pretentious, hair splitting ''audiophile maniac'' type, fact is it's coming out at a lesser quality than my stereo has gotten me used to.
tried playing songs simultaneously in iTunes & my CD player - changing between both at the amp's line in selector.. - & it does sounds pretty bad....
searched forums for answers & .... ended up stumbling on this iTunes >preferences>import settings where iTunes allows the obvious !...
great , this means i can get it to full audio quality - space isn't really an issue since i bought a 1TB W.D My Book for my music & will buy more if necessary...but my trouble is this : how can i re-import ALL of my CD's without loosing the info i got/typed, artwork etc...?? what audio format/settings will be the very best possible ? aiff, wav ? any help will be greatly appreciated
forgive me the length of this msg but....i thank you all
Nuno

Hi C !
& thanks 4 pointing me in the right direction. checking the iTunes forum thoroughly will be my homework for today - i might even learn something !!...LOL...
i'm 49 years ''young'', this is my 1st computer & it's an exciting, thrilling even if sometimes frustrating experience learning all this new stuff. everyday i try to understand/assimilate something new, that keeps me going.
overall it's very exhilarating & reading this forum is great help

Did anyone ever do wedding invitations in pages if so could you give me some info on how to do this

did anyone ever do wedding invitations in pages if so could you give me some info on how to do this

Why did you pay for Pages 5? Nearly everyone gets it for free and if you have iWork '09 you can upgrade for free, all 3 apps.
For the layout of a Wedding Invitation, either buy a set of templates from the Mac App Store or places like Jumsoft, or look for a Word template you like from the Internet and open that in Pages.
A wedding invitation just consists of text and some graphics on a specified sheet of paper. Usually quality paper you can buy precut and which may be folded to purpose. Just position the text and the graphics where you want on the page, do a few test prints to see if you like it and everything is OK, then reproduce.
If you want to merge names and addresses from either Contacts or a Numbers spreadsheet, I repeat you can not do this in Pages 5.
You need Pages '09. You can buy iWork '09 which has Pages, Numbers and Keynote '09 in it for US$26.99 from Amazon.
Or do it with LibreOffice [free].

Burning a slideshow looses

Burning a slideshow looses picture quality considerably, is this normal ?

It only looks like crap if youve not done something right!
I do slideshow (both iPhoto and Fotomagico using iDVD) presentation DVD's for other people - (they pay me for it) and they all LOVE what I do... so it cant look like crap on their tv's. Clearly something in the process you are doing is not right.
Depending on the application you use, the way you import/export data, the x you burn at, the memory you have, the media you use to record on... all these things could have a bearing on the end product.
So maybe you need to go through your processes, write them down, and then report them back here so we can see if there is anything obvious. The best thing about these forums is that it is a collective of knowledge - and you are bound to find someone with a potential solution to your problems.
Bottom line, iDVD projects don't HAVE to be crappy.
And I have to ask.... do you have a widescreen tv??
