IDVD export - chapters

Hi,
need help with chapters exported to iDVD. When i export Keynote project to iDVD it creates chapters, submenus etc. and everything works great when i check it in preview mode. But afer burning the dvd when i go to submenu and try to start any of the chapters the whole presentation starts to play from the beginning. What do i do wrong?
PowerBook G5 DC 2,3GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

Pressing M twice will set a marker and call up the Marker Editor. As mentioned above by Ian, choose "Chapter". Also, make sure your finished piece is exported with Chapter Markers selected (controls for this are in the Export dialog window).

  • Exporting From FCE to IDVD With Chapters How long

    Exporting From FCE to IDVD With Chapters How long will the DVD hold??? if i have an hour and 40 minutes of HD footage all cut together with FCE and has been saved as a movie file, how many hours will IDVD let me burn to it?
    if i run over the allowed amount will it say i need to drop quality, i am editing loads at the moment and dont want to get to the end and it come up with an error message. also will idvd include the chapter markers if i export with them?

    Sure, no problem.
    1. Go to Project > Project Info in iDVD.
    2. Make sure "DVD Type" is set to a single-layer DVD.
    3. Under "Encoding," choose "Best Performance." Is the arrow solidly in the green portion of the quality bar? If so, go ahead and burn your disc.
    4. If not, choose "High Quality." Again, go ahead and burn your disc if the arrow is solidly in the green.
    3. If the arrow still isn't in the green, select Professional Quality. If the arrow's in the green, burn your disc. If not, you'll have to delete some of the menus (scene selection, etc.) or menu content and check again. You should be able to burn up to 2 hours if you don't have a lot of other menu content.

  • IMovie project quality poor in iDVD export

    I'm having problems with the quality of iMovie projects exported to iDVD. The final dvd looks very pixelated, however, when I export the same project to iTunes and view the video on same TV, the video looks perfect...clear as a bell, when great definition.
    Here's what I'm doing...
    Video imported from my HD camera at Large 960x540,Optimize setting.
    Clips moved from Events to Projects.
    No major edits made in Projects outside of a trim or two.
    Project 'Finalized.'
    Project sent to iDVD via Share > iDVD.
    Am I missing something? I've even tried omitting step 4 above...not finalizing. Same DVD result. The video looks perfect on my screen in both iMovie and iDVD as I work on it. Only experiencing problem with final DVD output.
    I'm using iMovie 11 (v9.0.4), iDVD (v7.1.2).
    This is the first time that I've used iMovie 11 to create my video before sending to iDVD. In the past, I've used iMovie HD and never had a problem with iDVD output.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi
    There are lot's of thought's about this - read as much as You want of my notes.
    DVD quality  
    1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
    • Best Performances
    (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
    About double on DL DVDs.
    2. Video from
    • FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
    • iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
    when the movie includes photos and the Ken Burns effect NOT is used. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
    • iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
    DO not use - "Share to iDVD" in any iMovie version !
    iMä'08 to 11 - "Share to Media Browser" and as LARGE or Medium - NOT HD or other resolutions as this too degrades the final DVD.
    3. I use Apple Disk Util tool (or Roxio Toast™) to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x4 or x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09  this can also be set)
    This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application when burning from a DiskImage.
    4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
    use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc). For SD-Video - if HD-material is used I guess that 4 to 5 times more would do.
    5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
    6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) - DVD-R play’s on more and older DVD-Players
    7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
    (I use JES_Deinterlacer to keep frame per sec. same from editing to the Video-DVD result.)
    8. Don’t burn more than three DVDs at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
    iDVD quality also depends on.
    • DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
    deliver anything better that this.
    HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
    These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-Player.
    Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
    _ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
    _ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
    _ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
    The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
    Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
    • HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
    less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
    • How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
    • Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
    • Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
    iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
    • What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
    other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
    Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
    strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
    Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
    • What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
    (If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
    (Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
    (US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
    (EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
    UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
    • What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
    • How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
    Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
    Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
    Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
    1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
    (x4 by some and may be even better)
    2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
    Region codes.
    iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
    DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
    1 = US
    2 = EU

    What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
    I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
    I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
    For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
    to get this to work I
    • Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk
    • Use Verbatim DVD-R (absolutely no +/-RW)
    • Set down burn speed to x4 - less burn errors = plays on more devices
    • No other process running in background as - ScreenSaver, EnergySaver OR TIMEMACHINE etc
    • and I'm very careful on what kind of video-codecs, audio file format and photo file formats I use
    • and I consider the iDVD Bug - never go back to video-editor to change/up-date - if so Start  a brand new iDVD project
    • Chapters set as they should - NO one at very beginning and no one in any transition or within 2 sec from it
    • Lay-out - Turn on TV-Safe area and keep everything buttons, titles etc WELL INSIDE not even touching it !
    Try to break the process up into two stages
    • Save as a DiskImage (calculating part)
    • Burn from this .img file (burning stage)
    To isolate where the problem starts.
    Another thing is - Playing it onto a Blu-Ray Player. My PlayStation3 can play BD-disks but not all of my home made DVDs so to get this to work I
    • Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk

    TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
    • Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
    • No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
    • Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
    • Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
    • Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
    • Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
    pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show
    • No File Vault on - Important
    • NO - TimeMachine - during iMovie/iDVD work either ! IMPORTANT
    • Lot's of icons on DeaskTop/Finder also slows down the Mac noticeably
    • Start a new User-Account and log into this and iMovie get's faster too - if a project is in a hurry
    • And let Mac run on Mains - not just on battery

  • Is it possible to export chapters into video files or final cut?

    Hello,
    I was wondering if it is possibly to export chapters from DVDSP of I would have to rework the chapters again when I edit. Bascially I have chapters, but they all end with a cutoff transition, I've decided to re-edit the 4 hrs of footage on final cut, but was hoping there was an easier way to have the chapters already there. Hopefully this makes sense...
    Can Final Cut edit .m2v files?

    No, I don't think that you can carry chapters from DVDSP into FCP. I may be wrong. You can however, do the opposite, carry chapter markers from FCP into DVDSP.
    Yes, FCP can edit MPEG2.
    Good luck.

  • Why won't iDVD create chapters?

    Why won't iDVD create chapters?
    I'm using iMovie "09" and iDVD.
    I created an iMovie project with chapter markers. When I try to create a DVD project, selecting a Theme with chapters, the chapters do no appear...only the full movie.
    Don

    And I figure about - if there is a setting somewhere for minutes per Chapter as in Roxio Toast ?
    Go into the Map mode, select the movie there
    and select the Advanced ➙ Create Chapter Markers for Movie menu option
    Then you can set the Chapter length in 1 minute increments:

  • FCE to iDVD (w chapters created in FCE)

    Hello,
    I've searched old threads on how to Export your FCE project to iDVD. Most of the posts said to "export to quicktime movie", then load your movie into iDVD.
    I tried that, and it worked - however, I created my chapters in FCE and they did not carry over when loaded into iDVD.
    Is there something I missed in the exporting process so that iDVD recognizes my chapters??
    Thank you.

    http://www.fcpbook.com/Misc2.html
    The important thing is follow the chapter marker rules. Make sure they're applied to the timeline, not the clips. No marker at the beginning of the sequence. No marker within one second of another. That the chapter marker code <CHAPTER> is untouched.

  • IDVD 6 Chapters

    I have had this issue before in version 5 and can't recall what caused it or how I fixed it.
    When I drag a movie that I exported from FCP (with chapters) onto iDVD it correctly creates chapters but when I go to the 'Scene Selection' window any one of the chapters (other than no. 1) can be initially selected.
    My present situation is as follows. I created highlights from my son's basketball season and created 6 chapters in the movie entitled Game 1, Game 2 and so on thru Game 5, then Awards Ceremony. When I burned the DVD and chose the Scene Selection page 'Game 2' is the highlighted. When I navigate thru the chapters it jumps all over the place and not in a logical order.
    It is irritating and embarassing since I am creating this for other parents (and I don't want to leave the Apple icon illuminated if I can't make it appear professional).
    Please help.
    Rick

    When I navigate thru the chapters it jumps all over the place and not in a logical order.
    If I understand, you mean that when you go to chapter menus, the highlighted chapters can vary: Chapter one on one menu then chapter four on another menu instead of chapter one on that new menu.
    That happened to me, and many other people, in iDVD 5. It's still happening to me on occasion in iDVD 6.0.2...
    I'm just living with it.

  • 16:9 in iDVD with chapters...

    I'm exporting a clip with chapter markers with *QuickTime Movie...*. The I put the movie into iDVD. Voila, the chapters all make auto-menu systems and stuff and it's all good.
    BUT, when I preview the video, it doesn't fill the screen. I get gray bars on the right and left.
    So, I thought about it and I tried opening them in QuickTime. They looked kinda similar there, so I went into the properties and picked production. That made things look right in QuickTime, but it still doesn't fill the 16:9 frame in iDVD's preview mode.
    It looks right if I export it to DV, but then it loses the chapters! I want the chapters! I want chapters and the right aspect ratio! What am I supposed to do?

  • Goal: Burn iDVD w/Chapters & 2 Audio Channels

    I have 10 songs each with video and two audio channels. I want the dvd to go from one song to the next, but also want to have chapters so that I can quickly get to #8 from #4 (for example). What I've tried:
    1) Export individual songs via QuickTime - the two audio channels flattened into one. Gotta have 2 discreet that can be controlled via mixer.
    2) Exported all 10 as one sequence with a chapter marker for each song via QuickTime Conversion - got 2 stereo channels - poifect - but only one long 'chapter', the only way I can move thru is via FastForward - not good.
    Manuals say just add chapter markers (not at beginning, >1 second apart from each other, only 99, etc), but I can't get them to function in iDVD.
    SHOULD QuickTime keep two audio channels, if so, how do I do it?
    SHOULD I be using QuickTime Conversion - does it toss the markers?
    Help and Thanx

    I've found the articles on Ken Stone's site about chapter markers and preparing Final Cut materials for iDVD extremely helpful. I would suggest you check them out and try the suggested workflows. The site address is www.kenstone.net
    Best of luck.

  • IDVD & ending Chapters

    Is there a way to have a chapter return to it's menu at the end of it's play. I have read that it is normal for a chapter to go onto the "next in line", but also that some individuals are having just the opposite issue; chapters ending and then returning to originating menu. That is what I wish to happen.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Arthur C. Wiese, Jr.
    Welcome to apple discussions.
    Q: Is there a way to have a chapter return to it's menu at the end of it's play.
    A: There is within DVDSP but iDvd is a bit more problematic. I don't normally advocate going back into your original iMovie project once an iDvd has already been burned/completed since this has the bad habit of rendering your current iDvd project useless in terms of pointers to all QT reference movies. You could however go back to the original iMovie project in this particular case and export that one segment / scene as a separate QT movie unto itself then add that one chapter as a separate QT movie within iDvd (use export selected clip/s only within iMovie). That would cause it to return to the main menu upon completion of playback for each individual movie added to the main menu in iDvd.
    Keep in mind you'll need delete encoded assets from the advanced menu tab in iDvd (within your current iDvd project) or start a completely new iDvd project file if you should opt to use the above approach.
    Other options / apps include using QT Pro to edit the movie/s and then add those particular segments / scenes right back into iDvd.
    A third option is:
    http://www.mydvdedit.com/
    If you opt for the latter you may also want to consider making a copy of the original prior to performing any modifications whatsoever.
    Hope this info is useful but if not just come on back. Good luck.

  • IDVD with chapters

    Are there real clear instructions somewhere to create an iDVD project using a Final Cut Express movie with chapter markers? I is easy with iMovie, but not sure how to do it with a Final Cut Express. I think I need the instructions to start from how to put chapter markers in Final Cut and all the way through iDVD.

    Here's how I do it, and I've been getting good results every time:
    TO GET A FINAL CUT EXPRESS PROJECT READY FOR iDVD:
    Make sure the Easy Setup has DV-NTSC chosen (or PAL if that's your format), not NTSC DV Converter or anything else. Otherwise, the movie that you export and drop into iDVD won't work--it won't have its chapter markers, or the buttons won't work, or both.
    TO ADD CHAPTER (SCENE) MARKERS FOR iDVD:
    Don't put a Chapter Marker at the start of the FCE movie--iDVD does that for you. Anywhere else, put the playhead where you want the chapter marker to be and hit the M key twice. On the box that appears, click Add Chapter Marker. FCE will then put <Chapter> into the comment box. Leave it exactly that way, or it won't work. Give the marker a name (you can change it later in iDVD) in the Name box. Click OK. You can have 99 chapter markers.
    EXPORTING YOUR FCE PROJECT FOR iDVD:
    Before exporting your FCE project, in the Timeline, first Select All, then choose Sequence > Render All > Both. Next Sequence > Render Only > Mixdown, which merges all the audio. Now you're ready to export the project as a QuickTime Movie: File > Export > Quicktime Movie (and NOT a self-contained movie, unless you have good reason to do so), and at the options, choose Audio-and-Visual and Chapter Markers. After FCE exports, drop the resulting Quicktime movie into iDVD (not into a drop zone, into the background of whatever "Theme" you choose). Your FCE project's title should then appear in the iDVD theme along with a Scene Selection button for your Chapter Markers. That button will lead to other Scene Selection screens (six scenes per screen).
    CUSTOMIZING YOUR PROJECT IN iDVD:
    Any digital photo or other image file (Tiffs preferred) that you drop into an iDVD Theme's background will become the new background image, and you can also replace a theme's music with a music of your own. In this way you can customize and personalize any iDVD theme.
    BURNING YOUR iDVD PROJECT TO A DVD
    After you get everything looking and working the way you want it in iDVD, I advise burning it as a disk image first, so you can examine and test it with DVD Player before burning it to a DVD. If you're satisfied with it, you can use Toast in its Copy mode to burn the disk image to a DVD.

  • IDVD exporting low resolution

    I made 5 slideshows on iMovie and exported them HD quality, and they look great on my iMac.
    I put them on a basic iDVD menu and burnt them onto a DVD (burnt 3 seperate disks as best performance, high quality AND professional quality) and the entire thing looks pixely and unprofessional.
    It's not only my slideshows, the menu is blurry also! How do I fix this? These are for a wedding client and I would hate to have to give them this low quality DVD.
    Suggestions?
    Thank You!

    Hi
    There are many things to this.
    • Your Mac is capable to show much higher quality than what anyone with any program can put on a playable DVD - AS DVD is a standard limited to SD-Video - There are no HD DVD at all (only a short time in history and to be played on a few very rare Toshiba HD-DVD players)
    • Then when understanding what's possibly with DVD - One can get better or worse of this too.
    To get an as bad result possibly (who wouldn't like this) one Use - iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 as they only deliver every second line over to iDVD (called interlaced video - as what's on a DVD) and to make this even more worse one selects to do this Export by using "Share to iDVD" within iMovie - as iMovie now will render it and does this SO BAD.
    To get an as good result possibly with DVD I do
    • Use a video-editor that Export 100% of the interlaced material to iDVD as iMovie up to HD6 or any version of FinalCut (or FotoMagco™ - for SlideShows)
    • I DO - Share to Media Browser and as Large (not HD) - If I have to use iMovie 08 to 11 - as this give a better resul. In iMovie up to HD6 I just import the movie project from within iDVD - now iDVD will render and so much better.
    • I use High quality DVDs - only Verbatim (Never ever Memorex or alike)
    • I use DVD-R
    • I set down burn speed in iDVD/Preferences/Advance to x4 - as these DVDs plays so much better on many more devices.
    • I secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up Hard disk - No other hard disk can be addressed to keep this space for iDVD and Mac OS temp.files
    If You need better than SD-DVD quality then You need to look into
    • Blu-Ray (Roxio Toast™ 11 Pro incl BD-component, BD-burner, BD-disks AND Blu-Ray Player)
    • Save the pictures as they are eg .jpg in a folder and on a DVD and play them via a PC/Mac and a SlideShow program as iPhoto, PowerPoint etc.
    Good Luck !
    Yours Bengt W

  • Burning a Disk in iDVD and chapters not linking properly

    Project Duration=57:00 DVD Capacity=3.1 of 4.2
    Motion Menus=1:41 of 15:00 Tracks=2 Menus=3
    Theme-Reflection White from 6.0 Themes, The preview of this DVD works perfectly.
    There is a short :10 (autoplay intro) which leads to MainMenu. The MainMenu has two items 1=full playing video 2="scenes"
    GoTo "scenes". Problem 1=chapter menu no longer animates in. Problem 2=only the first of four chapters works correctly; the other three re-start the DVD from the auto-play intro.
    Using arrows to go to 2nd chapter page works. The page animates in correctly. The two chapters here work fine.
    What can happen from a working Preview to a non-working DVD?
    How can chapters link to something they shouldn't be able to see?

    Best bet is to use the Delete Encoded Assetts command in iDVD to throw out everything and force reencoding of your project from scratch. Sometimes junk can be left in the cache and temp files that effects later projects because they were not properly cleared out.
    My standard list of things to do first for these weird sort of problems, but I also tend to run these before I go to burn an iDVD project just to be safe. Keep in mind this list represents the programs I tend to use. I am running Panther (10.3.9) so Tiger users might want to check the below list for compatibility. There are several alternate programs that do the same things with some combining the functions of some of the ones below. So everyone has their favorites, but here are mine...
    Run MacJanitor (free download) to do all the Unix Cron Maintenance scripts.
    Run Disk Utility (Applications -> Utilities) and repair disk permissions on your start up drive (typically your internal drive). Also verify any other drives mounted on the system, especially any external drives that you use for iMovie and iDVD projects.
    Run Preferential Treatment (free download) to check for corrupt/damaged application and system preference files.
    Run Cache Out X (free download) to clear all system and application caches.
    Reboot your Mac (after running Cache Out X you are given the option to restart the machine).

  • Export Chapters as HTML Show Notes

    Almost all podcasters needs Shownotes... Actually, there is 3 Steps for a podcast:
    - ShowPreps
    - Record and Post Produce
    - ShowNotes
    Since GB has Chapters, it would be nice to Export those Chapters to have it in a form
    00:00:00 - Chapter 1 : Link 1
    00:05:49 - Chapter 2 : Link 2
    Podcast Maker does that very well, but even tough I love PCM, since GB3 and my WordPress (+PodPress), I'd love to do that in GB. Another solution would be to "find" where this information is stored and develop a plugin for it, but it looks like this data is encoded...
    iMac 20" Core Duo 2GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   1.5GB Ram 250GB HD 256MB Video

    Yes, I've actually been asking my geek friends if they could develop a WordPress plugin to auto-generate shownotes from GB chapter info.
    Ideally the plugin could use a template file on the blog site with certain variables marked for replacement with chapter info. You know, %Chapter_Name% - %Chapter_URL% could be replaced with the info and formatted however the blog designer wished.
    I'm now subscribed to this topic, so hopefully someone with more technical knowledge than I will come up with something.

  • Export chapters to Adobe Encore

    I have FCS-3 project.HD. Sequence (and corresponding exported MOV file) with chapters. Next step - authoring BD in Encore (on MAC too) I'd like those FCS chapters to become Encore timeline capters for navigation. Can i export somehow chapters from FCS into Encore? NOT MANUALLY! Throu the EDL or smth.? I have more than 50 of them! Thank you

    You're not doing anything wrong. When Adobe added En chapter markers as a new kind of marker in a Pr sequence, their use was restricted to exports with the AME.
    The unnumbered sequence marker behavior carries over from earlier versions of Pr. Sequence markers are used for exporting with several different formats and codecs, so not all of the compile options apply to every format. Using a sequence marker as an En chapter marker requires text in the chapter field for En to recognize it as such.
