IDVD to YouTube

Hello everyone!
As you can tell, I am relatively new to using a Mac. I was wondering how I can convert a slideshow I made on iDVD to a format I can upload onto YouTube. If it makes it easier, I don't care if the iDVD menu is not included. I just want to upload my slideshow with the music. Thanks in advance!

The way I do this (in addition to using iPhoto which is a great suggestion) is to off load to a hardware / usb video encoder like this:

It's also available directly from apple Here.

How can I Upload IMovie or IDVD to YouTube?

I have the last version of iLife not the newest one. How can I upload an iMovie or iDvd movie I created to YouTube? The file names are not selectable when I go to YouTube and look on the hard drive for my files.

well known, and no workaround.. your videos have to be a 100% on your Mac (miniDV camera input, better: HiDef..), but YT converts with very low settings into FlashVideo = blocky..
if you want better quality, use free services as vimeo.com or use Apple's mobileme, to create your own site to share HiDef content ...

Pairing transitions

Working with still images in Imovie '09, how do you insert two transitions between one pair of images? For example, fade to black followed by open circle. I used to be able to do this in the previous edition but can't figure it out in this one. Thanks.

I have experienced the same phenomenon. I found when reviewing the work (before sharing with the media browser) the more dynamic transitions wreak the more havoc on the movie. Once the movie is shared with the media browser, for me, it plays flawless in the application it was shared with (iDVD, iTunes, YouTube).
I did have one hiccup though. I shared a movie with YouTube. YouTube cut the audio because my movie included a copy-written song. I edited my movie with a new song, and in the re-edit, had a lot of bad transitions. When I re-shared with YouTube, the fixes were not made. I ended up scrapping the whole thing and starting from scratch. That one turned out good.

You Tube videos to iMovie

How can I take You tube videos and turn them into iMovie files and eventually iDVD?

YouTube videos are actually Flash, there's a Firefox plug-in that should let you grab them

"Download videos from Youtube, Google, Metacafe, iFilm, Dailymotion, Pornotube... and other 60+ video sites ! And all embedded objects on a webpage (movies, mp3s, flash, quicktime, etc) ! Directly !"

I have a finalized project in iMovie '11. Shared it on Youtube, Facebook, and Vimeo. Then, when I shared it to iDVD, it reverted to a previous version of the project, so my titles and pictures were out of sequence. My final project is now gone!

Now, in my list of projects, my project is there, but finalized as the previous version which is all out of sequence. My true final project is now gone! What happend?
I didn't notice this problem until after the DVD was burned in iDVD. Then, when I played the DVD in a public setting, I was a bit embarrassed by what played.

Hi
My first thoughts are
• iMovie ill behaving - Trash the iMovie pref file - use to set things right
• in reg. to Photos - Did You change iPhoto Photo Library - Then iMovie get's lost as it peeks into iPhoto on start up to see where photos are stored. Set iPhoto back to first Photo Library (when iMovie is not running) then start iMovie.

How do I upload an idvd project to youtube or facebook?

I would love to upload an idvd project to youtube to share on facebook. Currently, my imovie does not work (that's another help question for another time). I am not sure if iphoto is an option because my idvd project has many movie clips in the slideshow. Also, I tried the burning option and then ripping the dvd, BUT... for some reason, the music doesn't match the slides when burned on a dvd... but plays fine in the idvd project. In fact, the DVD's burned are not even regonized in the DVD player... but recognized when put into the computer (but audio is off). Anyways... I look forward to your support and help!!

This tutorial shows you how to upload an iDVD created DVD to youtube. There are other ways of doing this, but this method is fairly easy and allows you to upload videos longer than 15 minutes.

How to get Google & Youtube vid to iDVD

Hello,
Don't laugh. Bit of a novice here.
Can someone PLEASE give me a step by step on how to take YOUTUBE & Google videos and bring them onto my computer and then how I can burn them on iDVD???
Also I have an old dvd I made & burnt on Idvd, how do I take that off the dvd disc to my computer so I can burn additional copies?
Thank you Gurus!!!
Forever in your debt,
Heather ;xo
my email is : [email protected]

youtube to DVD is a two step process:
a) download from youtube to your drive:
use services as
http://keepvid.com/
http://www.videodl.org/
follow advise, given on these sites...
as mentioned above: youtube videos are NOT public domain! respect local laws...
b) convert downloaded files:
for a beginner, I recommend to spend 23.32$ on this app: VisualHub, a very Mac-like app, drag'n drop files onto it, burn dvds....
pic quality on DVD will be NOT as good as on your computer... these videos are delivered in a format not meant for TV...

I want to download my Idvd project to youtube, how is this donw

H E L P !!!!!! i have made a project I made using IDVD, how do I download it to youtube or anywhere else?

Follow the instructions in this Apple KB article to import the music from the CD: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12486. when you have all the ID3 tags how you like them then follow the instructions in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4914.
FYI, iTunes Match (not "iMatch") and iCloud are not the same thing. They are separate and distinct services and one does not require the other.

Youtube and iDVD export settings?

So I had someone videotape my bands live show with the hope of making a DVD and also posting the individual songs to youtube with iMovie 2008, but it seems that with iMovie the audio/video goes out of sync with video clips longer than 20 minutes or so. So after much wasted time figuring that out I bought Final Cut Express 4. Just to be difficult, the developers don't include a share to youtube feature in Final Cut Express 4, but they do it seems in Final Cut PRO. So Im trying to figure out what to export the individual clips at, to then do the extra step of uploading to youtube, but of course there is no info for this in the FCE documentation. Maybe if I buy Final Cut Pro all my troubles will be gone? The direct youtube upload feature in iMovie only takes about 20 minutes total. But this looks like it will take an hour to export, and another half an hour to upload for each 5 minute song (screaming profanities at the top of my lungs). I'm starting to hate this company. Is Premiere any better? One of the guys in the band wants the raw footage to do his own thing with on his Windows PC with "Nero". Will the original .dv files I captured with iMovie work for him? I had to purchase Stuffit Deluxe to segment that .DV file up to fit on 4 DVD's for him. That .dv file is in sync when opening with Quicktime, just not in iMovie. ...and oh yeah for some reason the audio just makes a beeping sound if I import that .dv file into Final Cut Express. So I set that pain in the neck project aside and captured some video straight into Final Cut. I have located the Final Cut captured video, and it seems to be a .mov quicktime file (720x480 DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, Integer Little Endian...). Was this a good setting for capturing footage from my old 2001 Canon Elura mini DV camera (original Elura), and will it work for the friend using Nero? Also, I've heard people say to not re-encode the video from the editing software before uploading to youtube, but I tried that and each 5 minute video was going to take about 3 hours to upload with the youtube uploader that way, and there's about 14 of them. Yes I do have high speed internet. Any answers would be appreciated thanks.

You're asking a lot of questions here, some of which having nothing to do with Final Cut Express. There's an iMovie subforum here where you can ask your questions about A/V syncing in iMovie.
In FCE, with standard-def material (NTSC) you need to be working with a DV codec Quicktime ".mov" file (which is not the same as the .dv file that iMovie produces). Otherwise the clip will need to be rendered, hence the beeping sound you heard.
Segmenting that .dv file for your PC-using colleague may not work, depending on whether they can decode the Stuffit Deluxe files you've made, and they may still not be able to open a .dv file, although if they have Quicktime installed it might be possible... but again, you're not likely to find much about that here.
There is nothing wrong with exporting (encoding) a file for YouTube, people do it all the time. But on the other hand, YT gives you a 2GB limit so if you want to export a higher quality version under that limit, there's nothing stopping you. YouTube will re-encode it down no matter what, by the way.
Time and patience (and ease of upload) seem to be an issue with your project, so perhaps it's best to just work with iMovie and get help from the folks on that forum to help you....?

Can I share (email/YouTube) and iDVD project?

Need to send my iDVD project to someone whether email or web, is this possible?

I also would like to email my IDVD project to a friend. Is this possible?

if what you are seeking is simply adding the dvd presentation as a QT movie (no buttons or menus from iDvd) then look into DVDXDV > iMovie or iDVD.

UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
“when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
“You can still use it one all of your Macs. If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
“It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date. I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected. For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

When I share a file to YouTube, where does the output file live? I want also to make a DVD. And is this a best practice or is there a better way?

I want also to make a DVD, but can't see where the .mov files are.
And is this a best practice or is there a better way to do this, such as with a master file?
thanks,
/john

I would export to a file saved on your drive as h.264, same frame size. Then import that into youtube.
I have never used FCP X to make a DVD but I assume that it will build the needed vob mpeg 2 source material for the disk.
I used to use Toast & IDVD. Toast is great.
To "see" the files created by FCP 10.1.1 for YouTube, rt. (control) click on the Library Icon in your Movies/show package contents/"project"/share.

What is the best workflow for AVCHD with iMovie/iDVD 09?

I am recording AVCHD video with a Sony HDR-SR11. I don't have a blu-ray burner yet, so I want to create the highest quality DVD's I can from this source video using my MacBook and the software I have (iMovie 09 and iDVD 09).
Currently I am importing the video clips into iMovie 09 at the 1920x1200 setting. After creating a 16:9 movie I choose "Share to Media Browser" and export at the highest setting I see (I think 1280x720, I'm not on the MacBook at the moment).
After a long while this completes and I launch iDVD 09. I drag the movie I exported above into the theme and burn at Professional Quality. After another long wait I have my DVD but I'm quite disappointed with the video quality.
Even taking into account that DVD is not a hi-def disc format it seems like the video quality should be better. Is there a better workflow I should be using with this combination of software? Maybe some way to avoid scaling/compressing the video twice? Or is this as good as it gets with iMovie 09 and iDVD 09? I may have access to iMovie 06, if that would help.
Thanks,
Gerald

3) Share to Media Browser with Best Quality
For folks like me that wonder exactly how did you do this:
(I don't know what Media Browser is yet.)
I did this: (I got some warnings - did you?)
In iMovie:
Selected my 1280x720 "HD" video in the Project panel,
Share->Media Browser...
- if HD is greyed out, you already shared this size to Media Browser, go to next step,
or select "Remove from Media Browser, check HD, click Remove"
- if HD is not greyed, but is not check marked,
select Computer icon, then uncheck Mobile, Med, and Lrg, leaving only HD checked
With HD checked, Click Publish - watch "Creating the HD movie.."
Bring up iDVD, Select Create a new project, browse for location and enter project name
If Themes at bottom right is not selected (Dark), click it
Double click a theme - for example under Revolution, choose Chapters.
At bottom right, select Media, At top right, select Movies
Under iMovie should be your iMovie project - mine says "My First Project" (I didn't name iMovie proj)
Select your iMovie Project,
you should see a thumb of your video with dimension, size listed
(movie duration is down at bottom right.)
Drag the thumbnail onto the iDVD preview window (I don't what that window is officially called)
drop it under the theme title "Revolution Chapters" for this example
You should see a running preview of your video with the project name below it.
Important step: Project->Project Info, Under Encoding: select Best or Professional Quality
Ok re-encoding warning, close Proj Info window.
File->Burn DVD... Popup says "Warnings in Project", select Continue Burning
Insert DVD (Apple designed sharp edges on the SuperDrive on purpose?)
I used Staples 4x DVD-RW first.
Watch process proceed till DVD is ejected...Don't believe "Time remaining: about one minute"
My DVD-R120 player-recorder would not load the disk. It played fine on iMac, a WindowsXP laptop, and a Windows XP desktop. This DVD machine only likes old 1X RW media for some reason. I wish someone made a standalone Blu-Ray recorder/player. I burned a second copy to some gold Sony 1X/2X DVD-RW media, and this disk played fine.
Picture quality is soft compared to HD material, but the moire patterns on some edges is only somewhat reduced over the Share to iDVD version. This Share to Media Browser version is acceptable for folks that won't go to Vimeo or YouTube to see my videos in HD.
