IDVD extra files

Hi !
I added extra files in the DVD-Rom. But the only way i've found to get those files when i insert the disk in the imac, is to double click on the DVD in the finder, so i can see and extract the extra files.
Question: is it possible to place a button on the DVD menu that open directly the extra files contained in the DVD-Rom ? So it would be more interactiv (and simple for my old mother
Thanks for your answer

I don't believe so. I'm pretty sure there is that feature in DVD Studio Pro, though.

  • Can you use an external hard drive (G-Tech 1 TB) as both a time machine and for storing extra files?

    I just got a new external hard drive and will be getting my macbook pro next week. I was wondering if the external hard drive could be used as both a time machine and to have extra files on it? And if so how would you do that?

    Time Machine requires a drive that is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled), so you will need to check to make sure that this requirement is met.
    A drive that the manufacturer says will work with both Mac and Windows will not work with Time Machine.

  • IDvd dv. files

    My iDvd dv. files won't drag to the trash. How can I off them after they're burned?

    the iM projects shown in the media pane of iDVD can not be erased within iDVD...
    simply switch to Finder, drag'n drop them into the trash from your "Movies" Folder...

  • Files/Clips from old iDVD image files

    I am an underwater photographer and I have a number of older projects that I created in FCP/iDVD. I have the iDVD image files, but not the original MOV files, as they were huge and were deleted to save space.
    I would like to create a compilation DVD that has all of the old disks combined into one.
    Any way to extract the clips from the image files and drop them into a new project. They are already rendered to the the DVD format.
    Thanks in advance, David

    Frank's reply is correct but a little lacking in detail!
    You will need to re-edit the files in iMovie in order to make it one single project.
    You first need to convert the VOB files back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

  • Import from iDVD image file

    I was looking through some of my old iDVD images and accidentally left one of them mounted. I opened iMovie 08 and it instantly recognized the DVD as a Camcorder and gave me a thumbnail of each Chapter and gave me the option to import it into iMovie for editing. I manually chose the chapters I wanted it to import and things were really smooth sailing. Once it was imported I noticed that it didn't include any of the audio tracks. Is there a way to fix this? My current work-around is to convert the .VOB files to an editable format using VisualHub and then import it into iMovie but this is very time consuming. I am assuming that Apple meant to include the import of unprotected DVD's into iMovie otherwise it wouldn't have prompted me to do an import. I haven't tested it with any other iDVD image files yet to see if my problem is isolated but I will report back with my success/failure when I have a chance to test it out. Just thought I would see if anyone else is having this issue.
    UPDATE: I just ran across this thread that looks related but it deals mainly with camcorders and not iDVD Imports. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1075399&tstart=30

    Ian:
    Thanks for the response. I'll look at the Ans 1 tutorial. As for Ans 2, I did choose the new location and I believe Lightroom IGNORED THE SETTING. I say "believe" because I must confess that I did not rename anything in the blue box as outlined and that may be my problem. But I did select the parent folder I wanted the images moved to. (I did not note this in the help question because I couldn't recall or even review the steps I used without repeating the entire Import procedure again.) Fortunately, your post jogged my memory on those details.
    This interface and the need to learn how Lightroom does some things is why I complained about the less-then-perfect functionality in my post. Adobe's use of the non-standard navigation interface was a very bad decision, and it leads to much confusion when using Lightroom. The Lightroom design team should have stuck with the OS X navigation interface -- because they did not improve upon it.
    Adobe has a long way to go to make Lightroom into the useful product it should have been for a version 1.0 release. It has enormous potential, but for now, it remains too slow and has too many interface quirks and functionality issues to be a reliable tool.

  • Using iDVD project file after deleting original iMovieHD

    I've been using iMovieHD and iDVD to convert my home movies from miniDV tapes to DVDs. I've been putting two one-hour tapes together into one iMovie and then creating an iDVD project with themes, chapters, etc.
    Each two-hour iMovie file takes up >20 GB. Before I burned my DVD, the iDVD project file took up only a few MB. After I burned the DVD, the file size grew to >4 GB, so I figured (erroneously, it seems) that this new file package contained all of the information needed to keep burning DVDs. Threfore, I deleted the original massive iMovie file and kept only the iDVD project file.
    Now every time I try to load the iDVD file, the program lists all the missing files and, other than my themes and chapter titles, there is nothing left of the original project.
    Am I missing something here? What's taking up all that space (4 GB)? Am I completely screwed? Is the only way to make new copies of my project to copy the DVD that I made?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Jay,
    As John has said, you should have created a Disc Image of your DVD project before deleting the iMovie file. When working in iMovie/iDVD you must not delete ANYTHING that is in the project, not even the iMovie trash can, which often mysteriously fills up with "stuff", until you are sure you are finished editing and then have saved a Disc Image to burn further DVD's from. The files you deleted from iMovie were the reference for the file you were using in iDVD. Without that iMovie file, your iDVD project will only show what was created there, like your theme page.
    Sorry that's bad news. Your options now are re-create your iMovies from your tapes, OR, rip the DVD you have back to your Mac to burn more DVD's.

  • IDVD unsupported file type with jpegs

    Hi,
    I am working with iDVD 7.1.2....and trying to insert jpegs and/or Tiffs into the opening drop zones.
    I keep getting the error : "Unsupported file type : Unknown format"
    I haven't had this error before. I am getting my files from iPhoto, and/or dragging from the finder.
    What should I try?
    Thank you in advance!

    Try this basic troubleshooting fix:
    1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
    User/Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents of IDVD'S cache folder: User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD.
    3 - launch IDVD and try again.
    NOTE: If you're running Mavericks or Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

  • Extra files from C Drive are beng included in Dreamweaver site file

    Has anyone encountered this issue? Extra files from computer's C Drive are being included in the Dreamweaver website cache (within Dreamweaver) but are not located in the website file on the computer.  Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you

    Nope.  I can honestly say this has never happened to me probably because I always keep my local site folder in a separate directory on my main hard drive.
    C:\MySiteName 
    Or for sites requiring a local testing server:

  • How do you include extra files with an AIR for iOS Publish?

    I've seen people mention they can include .html, .js, etc files with their iOS for AIR publish when making an iOS application from flash.
    What I haven't seen is how these people include extra files (html, css, images, videos, etc) to be packaged into the IPA during publish.
    How is this accomplished?

    Sorry, figured it out.

  • Broken Link to iDVD Project File

    I created an DVD from iMovie just fine.
    However, when I try to use the iDVD Project file, it cannot find the shared file. This means I have to redo the iDVD opening screens whenever I make changes in iMovie, and want an updated DVD with the latest changes.
    I have moved both the iMovie file & the iDVD Project File to my external firewire drive. Both open fine, but won't link.

    Thanks, good advice. I'm up to date on OSX and iLife 05.
    My iBook only has 40G free, so I'm creating & storing my imovies on the external HD. What if I create iDVD project from the external drive and leave it there? Will it link, or does it have to be on the startup (internal) HD?

  • I backup to an external hdd with Time Machine, when it ran out of space it did not delete old backups, now my internal hdd says its full when before it had heaps of space. I have searched for extra files but cant find any. Can anyone help, please.

    I backup to an external hdd with Time Machine, when it ran out of space it did not delete old backups, now my internal hdd says its full when before it had heaps of space. I have searched for extra files but cant find any. Can anyone help, please.

    First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
    You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • Burning iDVD project files

    I'm trying to free up hard disk space by bruning iDVD project files (.dvdproj) to a DVD-R.
    When I tried doing this the files would not open. There was an error message that said - not writable.
    I tried to first archive the files as Archived.dvdproj and I checked read/write permissions, but I still get the same error message.
    Is there a way to burn these files to DVD-R and have them available to open in the iDVD edit window the same as they were on my hard drive.
    Photoscene

    I'll try to be more specific. This was an iPhoto slideshow that was exported to iDVD.
    I was able to delete the 10 megapixel .jpeg files from the Finder, the images from iPhoto, the QuickTime file, the iDVD.img file, and the Audio.Sd2f file (Roxio).
    The Roxio audio file was needed to combine three music tracks into one file so that iPhoto could export them to iDVD.
    Deleting the project saved 3GB of hard disk space.
    The only files left were the four .aiff files in iTunes.
    After this the Archived.dvdpoj file still opened in the iDVD edit window and played all the way through. From there it was burned to a CD-R, saving 400 MB of space.
    I double checked the CD-R by copying the Archived.dvdproj file on to the desktop a second time and it works as it should.

  • Putting Extra files on DVD

    Hi,
    How does one go about putting extra files on a DVD. I want the DVD to play the video normally when it is put in a DVD player, but I also want a Quicktime file to be stored on the DVD so it can be accessed on a computer.
    Thanks

    You can build the videots/audiots files with DVDSP, then use toast or disc utility to burn these and the QT file to a DVD.

  • How can I load preview images into an extra file?

    Hi,
    I've got a question concerning those preview images. I wrote a plugin which uses the actual paths of the photos in the catalog an stores those paths of each photo into a log file. Then an external program has access to that file for further handling. So now I would like to use preview photos instead of the raw images. First, because the user might want to use the picture he/she edited with Lightroom; And then because of the size.Processing a preview image of level 5 would be more efficient than the original photo.
    So how can I get those preview photos? And more important: is it possible to store them in an extra file in a jpg format for instance, so that an external program can make use of them?

    Look at source code in PreviewExporter plugin.
