IDVD or iDVDHD to make and burn new movies???

I am a new owner of a MacBook Pro and am trying to
use my built in iSight to make a movie and burn it to
a DVD for viewing on a DVD player'd tv. I can record
the video on imovieHD however cannot burn a viewable
copy. When I try to make a movie on imovie it wont
let me use my iSight.
We don't all have a MacBook Pro, although I am sure most would like one.
Have you posted this question on the MacBook Pro discussion?
Also, I cannot export my movie
from imovHD to imovie - it says Quicktime couldn't
parse it???
Can anyone offer advice? Thanks!
I am not sure what you mean. iMovieHD to iMovie??? Do you mean iMovieHD to iDVD? If you have made a movie with iMovieHD, you can open iDVD create a simple theme and drag your iMovieHD project to iDVD, check to make sure it will play, then burn your DVD in iDVD.
That should work.

How do you save and burn a movie to play on a dvd player to show on your tv

I finished a movie, and saved it as a MP4 file. How do you save and burn a movie to play in a dvd player and show on your tv.

I found an iDVD program through Softonic. Do you know anything about reliability and if it is safe to download this one? If not do you have any suggestions for one I might download.

Good software to make and burn movies to dvd using 10.8.2

10.8.2 does not support I DVD I am looking for a good software to make my own movies yet be simple to use and burn to DVDs. I'm a beginner and need help thanks

You can use iDVD with 10.8.2 - I am; it still works (although it is no longer included as it used to be). So, if you have a retail iLife 09 or 11, install it. If you don't, it is absolutely worth going to Amazon or ebay or some other resellers and buying a copy of the retail iLife 11 disk.

IDVD ejects disk during multiplexing and burning

Having burnt many DVDs previously, I have suddenly started struggling.
Having edited in FCE HD v3.5.1, I export to Quicktime and then build the dvd as normal in iDVD.
The project has no errors and then I burn it using Verbatim 16x certified 4.7GB/120 min Advanced AZO+ DVD-R disks.
During Multiplexing and burning (with between 1 and 3 mins left, it ejects the disk saying saying done but nothing is burnt.
To try to remedy this, I have set the burn speed to both 2x and 1x. I have also turned the computer off, removed all cables and battery, held down the power button for 10secs then rebuilt and retried. Still nothing.
I saved a disk image but I don't know how to then make that into a burnt dvd. Any advice on that would be appreciated but moreover, I'm sure I shouldn't have to jump through so many hoops to burn a dvd - Mac's should just work shouldn't they.....?!

Here's even more of an update, with no joy....
to refresh, I have a macbook pro 15" - the older one with the silver keys.
I make 3 min movies in FCE then export using quick time conversion and try to burn with iDVD.
The problem: I can burn data CDs but i can't burn a DVD anymore. This seemed to start after the update to 10.5.7. At that point I tried to fix it with no joy so due to deadlines, used another machine! Now a few months later, i come back to it and still no joy.
I have reset the PRAM
I have reset the CMR
I have upgraded to Snow Leopard
I have sprayed compressed air into the drive
I have reduced the burn speed to 1x
But still I can't burn a dvd. When iDVD goes through the stages, everything is OK until it gets to multiplexing and burning, it says it is 'writing lead in' and has 1 min left (or 2 mins when burning at 1x). Then the blue status line suddenly goes all along and the machine spits the dvd out saying done. (although iDVD does not revert to beginning of the process, it kind of freezes).
idvd version 7.04 if I hadn't said before.
Please help, I'm despairing....

If I delete purchased movies from my ipad to make room for new movies, will they be permanently lost or stored somewhere?

Problem: I don't have enough storage to download new movies. If I delete purchased movies from my ipad to make room for new content, will they be lost or stored somewhere?

It depends upon what country that you are in (it's not possible to re-download films in all countries), the film studio (some don't allow re-downloading), and whether they remain in the store (studios occasionally remove them from the store) - what you can currently re-download will show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad.
But you are better off first copying them to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you can take you own backup copy of them before deleting them, rather than relying on being able to redownload them in the future (and the same applies to other downloaded content)

IDVD - what brand of disk and burn speed?

I have an ibook and bought a Sony DVD burner. I have OS 10.3.9, and the Sony DVD burner said it was MAC compatible for OS 10.4 or later. So I got Patchburn and the DVD works. However, I've got a really crappy burn when i watch it on a DVD player. I read somewhere on here that it could be the make of the blank DVD, that Verbatim's are best (why?), and that it might be my recording speed...instead of 20x perhaps 1x would be better (I believe that's what I read). My questions are this: what are good DVDs to purchase for recording, and how do I control the burning speed for the Sony or is it within iDVD?

Verbatim discs are highly recommended around here; I also like Sony discs. Higher quality discs have fewer manufacturing errors, and the better dyes are more durable/compatible. Here's a discussion:
www.digitalfaq.com/media/burnquality.htm
Slower burn speeds also mean fewer errors on the final disc. Most of the time it takes to "burn" a DVD is actually encoding the video files, so the extra time it takes to burn at 1x or 2x isn't that much different than 8x (that must be quite a burner at 20x DVDs).
To best control the burn speed, there are two options but both involve creating a disc image (in iDVD, Save a Disc Image). This virtual DVD can then be tested, and if it works well, you'll then copy the DVD onto your media. Burning the copy is accomplished with Roxio Toast or Apple's Disk Utility.

IDVD Hanging On Disk Image AND Burning

I've been having this problem since upgrading to 10.4.7 (I have iDVD 6.02). I can't burn a DVD and I can't save a disk image. iDVD just hangs up and quits or it just hangs and becomes non-responding.
I restarted and repaired permissions over six times and even tried it running no other applications but iDVD and still have the same issue.
Help!

Hi Leigh:
Did you read the Apple article that Len Goff
suggested?
iDVD appears to be unresponsive when encoding Audio
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302988
It may just take a lot of time to finish. have you
tried burning overnight?
Sue
I set it up Wednesday Night to burn and at 9 am it was still hanging. I force quit iDVD and restarted my Mini and set it up to burn again and when I got home from work it was hung at the Audio encoding again. I repaired permissions and attempted the process again over night and this time the DVD had been ejected but was still blank when I went to play it. I then read the this forum post and trashed the plist, repaired permissions and attempted again and still no luck! I am about to try it again and see what I get when I get home from work!

16mm movie transferred to dvd - now how can i add music and burn new dvd?

Hi, Sorry...I'm totally a newbie with the software and of course my boss wants me to make magic and fedex her old movies which were transferred to dvd by Helix, a professional photo joint. I don't need to change any thing on the movie itself but would like to add a music loop. I thought I could do this in IDVD but doesn't seem so. I was able to make a copy through disk utility but now stuck. Any helpers out there?!
Message was edited by: kimpio

Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me. Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

IDVD can't finish multiplexing and burning

Hi,
I recently upgraded for Maverics, from snow lepard. I am trying to burn my project in iDVD. It's dual layer dvd and project is two video files with 6 scenes selections of the lenth of 3hrs alltogether. I did similar burning few weeks ago on snow lepard with 2.5hrs long video no problemo..
This time I am spending 2nd day getting just negative responses from iDVD.
I am burning it PAL, 16:9, 7.7GB dual layer dvd and I tried profesional quality, didn't work, than both other options with same result. Tried to cut down to smallest file and retry still without success.
Is it just too big, or another problem with file..? or could that be Maverics not working the way it should?
In activity monitor I noticed that Pro transcoder tool is red not responding as well as enconder and thumbnail server and codec 32bit red out also..
Please any advices? I am thinking of downgrading back to snow lepard.., or do you have another advice??
Thanks very much for your reply guys!

Revert to your SL backup and do the burning. Simpler than trying to solve it with Mavericks, especially since Apple dropped iDVD from iLife.

Extract image from DVD, add different sound and burn new DVD?

I am a composer for film and TV. My clients send me DVDs that have inferior sound. I would like to extract the image from the DVD, add a better sound file (48k16bit) and drop this in iDVD to create a final DVD. How do I do this?

It seems to me that you have 2 choices. 1) ask the clients to send a DV tape instead of disc. Import using program using program of choice (iMovie, FCE, FCP). Delete the audio (or not even import it) and drop you audio in- send to DVD. This is the best option as you shouldn't lose any visual quality. 2) De-Mux the DVD so that you have an audio/video stream. Google demux and I am sure a few solutions will pop up. In essence, a DVD has the audio/video "muxed", kid of a combination clip for DVD playback. You want to separate "clips", one for audio, one for video. Then replace the audio and send to DVD. The catch here is that you will lose some quality in the video by taking it from one format to another format back to the original format. A third solution may exist if the DVD you are sent do NOT have muxed files. If they already have a separate file for audio and video... but I doubt it.

Refreshing and adding new movies

hi all,
i am using iphotos to save both my photos and movies in the same directory. Is that a good idea ? ..
when a new directory is create to save latest photos and videos, imovie updates the videos automatically. But when i add the videos to one of the existing folders using iphoto to organize, imovie does not update add those videos automatically when i start it. Also will imovie copy the video files from iphoto or it links and uses them, in other words i hope 2 copies of each video are not being kept.
thanks in advance.

You have to keep items checked if you want them to stay on AppleTV.
Syncs are incremental, so if things checked are already on AppleTV they don't sync gaian, they just stay there - if you uncheck iTunes thinks you want to delete from AppleTV.
If you get the can't be played error it sometimes means a network issue with connection lost, or that iTunes can't find the original file which may have been moved, deleted or just on an unconnected drive. The error is vague and usually solved by a reboot.
If it persists the file may be incompatible with AppletTV specs.

Can I use iDVD to create a project to burn on a Windows PC?

I might be needing to create a DVD for a job I am applying for. I have a 12" iBook with just a combo drive. My Mom's Gateway computer does have a DVD burner. I'm wondering if it would be possible to transfer over the iDVD project to her computer and burn it that way. Or, would it be better to just transfer over the video file from iMovie and create the disc on her computer?
Thanks for your help.

wouldn't recommend terminal commands for beginners (other than showing them how to reset_all) and even if you happen to be an experienced mac user; i'd proceed with caution....
Agreed. But since there is no simple way to tranfer a Mac based file to a PC file. The terminal command is not bad after all. Except if Joey don't mind incurring expense of buying 3rd party software.

Build and Burn won't start

My movie is finished and works perfectly in the simulator. I'm ready to build and burn and the encoding progress bar remains at 0% complete for hours until it spits out the DVD and gives up.
The only thing I can see that might be affecting the build is one of my assests in the asset window has a status of yellow. It is an .aiff and when I click on it, it comes up in the main window and starts playing with out a problem.
Any ideas? I've built and burned other movies with no problem, so I don't know what's going on.

Sarah:
I just did a test.
Opened DVD SP 4, and imported an aiff file that was 20+ minutes long. It immediately turned to green.
Have you encoded that audio at 48/16 stereo? Or something else?
Have you tried comverting it to an ac3 file with a.pack or compressor 2?
