IDVD Images Per Track

I am a rookie DVD author but have studied hard and can do a pretty good job of creating a DVD.
My question is "How do I build my DVD so that the images I have (500) play on the TV, without creating 6 slideshow Buttons"? My DVD player stops after 99 images now.
Note that when I send to IDVD from Iphoto, all 500 images play as One Track.
Thanks

Under the DVD Specifications, iDVD treats still images in a slideshow as chapters. The DVD specification limits each track to 99 chapters - thus 99 slides. Prior to iDVDF 6, only one track was available for each slideshow use. iDVD 6 allows you to use the DVD specification maximum number of tracks (99) for a slideshow - thus iDVD 6 allows 99x99=9801 slides. Actually, since other things (menus and video content) on a DVD occupy tracks, you won't get 9801 images.
One consequence of using multiple tracks for a slideshow with iDVD 6 is that background audio may drop out briefly every 99 slides. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302962 iDVD 6: Slideshow audio playback drops out after 99 images
Creating a slideshow in iPhoto or iMovie produces a movie which has no limit on the number of images.

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to datamerge more than one image per page?

    I am building a product catalogue using datamerge.  Is it possible to data merge more than one image per page? (ie I have a logo, product image and dimensioned drawing to go with each product page)
    What would the coding be for the Data Field Name?
    Would it be
    @Logo
    @Product Image
    @Dimension Drawing
    Add image fields in the data source file
    By adding image fields to the data source file, you can allow a different image to appear on each merged record. For example, when you merge documents that include information from various companies, you may want to include an image of each company’s logo as part of the merge.
    Open the data source file.
    At the beginning of the data field name, type an “at” symbol (@) to insert text or paths that refer to image files.The @ symbol is required only in the first line; subsequent lines should include the image paths. Paths, which are case-sensitive, must follow the naming conventions of the operating system in which they’re stored.
    If you get an error message when you type the @ symbol at the beginning of the field, type an apostrophe (') before the @ symbol (such as '@Photos) to validate the function. Some applications, such as Microsoft Excel, reserve the @ symbol for functions.

    You can use InDesign to view the path of an image on your operating system. Insert an image in an InDesign document, and then use the Links panel to view the image’s location. With the image selected, choose Copy Info > Copy Full Path from the Links panel menu. You may need to edit the path after you paste it in your data source. This technique is especially useful for images on a server.

    Yes, pretty much exactly as you describe. You would then just add those fields to the boxes in your page. I tend to add an apostrophe before the @ symbol in Excel so it doesn't think it's a function - as per text you quoted above.

  • How can I create a one image per page caption sheet that includes the description in Bridge?

    I am trying to find a way to create a one-image-per-page caption sheet for my workflow. I currently place each image into Word and copy the description onto the document, then repeat for each image. I am hoping that there is a way to automate this process using Bridge. I know that it can be done using Lightroom, however, that is not currently an option for me. Is this something that can be done or am I bound, like Sisyphus to Microsoft Word? I have a very limited grasp of scripting, but I feel like this is possible.
    Thanks for any help.

    To create a NetBoot image, you could just put the cluster node in target mode and attach it to your PowerBook. Then use SIU to create the NetBoot image.
    If you're trying to create a backup image of the disk, use hdiutil, or put in in target mode and create the image with Disk Utility.

  • Create a PDF with multiple images per page

    So this seems really simple, but i cannot figure it out... i am creating a PDF from 30 JPGs and rather than having an image on each page in the PDF I would like to set it up so that there are 6 images per page... any thoughts .. thanks in advance
    cheers
    matt

    Once you have the PDF with a single image per page, print it out to a new PDF with 6 pages per page.
    Either that, or use an authoring application like Word or InDesign.

  • Can't open images or tracks in gallery on E61i?

    I recently switched from N95 to E61i and when I put my existing memory card in from my N95 I cannot access the images or tracks from the gallery. The handset shows "opening" but never opens and I have to power cylcel. Any help?

    Copy the images on PC, to disk, format the card inside E61i and copy back the images. Should work.

  • 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.

  • If I add artwork by dragging a jpg to the artwork area after selecting several rows, in some instances a single icon is created in the flipper;  in others one is created for each song. Why? How can I get one image per album every time?

  • 30¢ per track for the privilege to upgrade them, seriously

    I am getting this right. No matter what the price (what you paid vs. what it is now) I have to pay 30¢ PER TRACK to get DRM-free and 256k?
    When I purchased an album it was $9.99 at 128k and DRM'd. Now the same album is $9.99 at 256 and is DRM-free but I have to pay 30¢ PER TRACK. That just isn't right. How is that money going to the artist? The additional 30¢ cannot be justified.
    I accepted it for a few albums early on when their price was more than I originally paid. If I bought an album for $9.99 (128k DRM'd) that was now selling for $12.99 (256k DRM-free) I could grudgingly justify paying $3.00 to upgrade the album. But not if they are the same price.
    Am I missing something here?
    Do I need to wait until Apple updates their site to see free DRM-free updates to track I've previously purchased?

    Unfortunately, early adopters always come up short when something better comes along. Even worse, when it comes to digital music, legal purchasers have been burned for years. People who bought music legally were shackled with restrictive files while people who don't buy music download HQ mp3's they can use for any device.
    I think it would have been great if the labels said "Hey, everyone who bought our music legally, free one-time upgrade of your current DRM'd tracks."
    But, that's a pipe dream. Apple wanted to go DRM free years ago, this is the labels' doing. However, why can't we upgrade individual albums or tracks? Terrible implementation. It will cost me nearly a grand to upgrade my library, and then I'll have to re-tag and organize my downloads, as iTunes downloads aren't always tagged to my liking. Being able to upgrade individually would help me do a few at a time. I mean, I downloaded a "Complete" set that is over 500 songs and cost $189... now I have to pay another $175 dollars to upgrade it? There is a huge logical flaw here.
    I understand that not everything is free and something better is always around the corner with anything you buy, but still.

  • Optimum number of images per sheet for contact sheet?

    what is the optimum number of images per sheet (like 5x5, 10x10 etc) for a contact sheet on the latest photoshop. optimum meaning the largest number of images per page so that you can still see what the image is of and the image number.
    thanks

    How are you going to use the Contact Sheet?  If you are not printing, but using your screen or website, you can use your file browser to simulate the Contact Sheet.  In Windows > File Explorer, choose large icons, and zoom in or out with Ctrl Mouse Wheel.

  • Printing same photo multiple images per page

    Using the new version how do you print the same picture 4x on one page?

    Do the following:
    1 - duplicate the photo so you have the number of photos that you want on a single page.
    2 - select all of the duplicates and start the Print process.
    3 - select the paper size.
    4 - select the Custom layout
    5 - select  the aspect ratio ratio you want to have or a custom aspect ratio.
    6 - adjust the width and height until you get the number of images per page that you want.

  • Printing multiple images per page

    I'm sorry for this potentially stupid question, but how do I print multiple 4x6 images per 8.5x11 sheets - or in general, mulitple - defined size prints per page of whatever dimension. I have Aperture 1.1, iMac dual core, Epson 2200... I'll be back with many more stupid questions... bear with me!! T

    Actually that's not a dumb question at all. Right now there's no way to say directly what size images you want on a page - you can only specify number of images on a page, and border sizes.
    So what you do is figure out how many 4x6s can fit on your paper (2 on an 8.5x11.5 sheet of paper) and then figure out what border you need to get your images to be about the right size. In the case of 8.5x11.5, it's a border of about 0.75 in (perhaps a little more or less depending on the native border your printer has for a sheet of paper).
    I think different orientations might screw that system up, so be aware of that and perhaps only print like orientations together.
    If you are doing individual borderless prints of any size, do not overlook the handy "calibrate" button which prints out a test target to fine-tune exactly where the edges are in borderless prints!

  • Multiple Covers per Track/Album

    I havent found the clue, so now my problem.
    I add two or more Album Cover Artworks (back and front)to my Tracks or Albums through the drag and drop area.
    In iTunes 6 no Problems with that. In iTunes 7 (nearly) impossible. When i drop the cover in the "drag ´n drop" area nothing happens. When i open the inforamtion dialog i can add them. But only one. If i add the second with this method the first is gone.
    The third way is to add them in the cover tab, but per Track. unuseable.
    What can i do ? Is there any clue i can do ?

    There's nothing official from Apple yet.
    To be honest, I've never seen a to-do list of Apple software.
    Sometimes a "This document will be updated when more information comes available" or something like that, can be read in a KB-article.
    This could mean they're working on a fix, but I've never read "This will be fixed" or "It's on the list".

  • How to ask about EXPORT to PDF images per/page

    I found a promising javascript for Acrobat to split spreads to single pages... there were couple of flaws (cover single page was splitted too, some interactive elements were not deleted when page was cropped and element was left outside of crop area...) I sent a comment to an author of that script about those problems...
    But I think this script could be usefull even with those problems, at least if you have a long document to process. You can always put an extra page to first and last spread and keep it while exporting, and those non-deleted elements may be deleted manually...
    Address and instructions how to add it to Acrobat´s Document menu can be found at:
