Imovie project when burned thru idvd looks horrible

I have worked for several months on making my first Imovie. It is about 1hr in length. It combines both narration, video, soundtrack and still images. When I previewed the project on imovie looked great. I can also export thru quicktime and it looks good, but not as good as it does in imovie. When I followed the directions on how to export to Idvd, I was unaware of how poorly the finished project looked in Idvd. I burned it and was let down as all my titles where pixelated and the still images are combing real bad. Also some of the images are jerky in the ken burns effect. I find this frustrating as I can save it as a quicktime file and it looks pretty good (but not as good as in imovie). It appears to me that everything I have tried as far as importing to idvd looks horrible when Idvd gets done with it. In fact even the Idvd menu I made looks pixelated and horrible. I am making this dvd to sell to others and to present at talks I am giving. The quality is so poor I am thinking about bagging the whole project. I noticed on the forums regarding both idvd and imovie many of the questions about the quality degredation in idvd dont get answered. Or when they do get answered, the answer is to purchase final cut or more software in general. What I want to know is can I make my excellent looking imovie look acceptable in idvd? If not, why? Why would mac make a option to make a movie project look good in imovie, but the only way to export it is to make it look horrible? Also, is there a way to make a dvd in idvd that looks as good as my Imovie project (without dropping 1,000$ for more software which I am not going to do as now I don't trust it until I see it first)? What am I missing here?

Hi Adam,
Just some general comments about exporting from iMovie '09. From posts on the forum, and from my own experience, it's best not to use Apple's preset export option "Share to iDVD". You may not have used this, but it produces an AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) movie that doesn't look good when burned through iDVD, for some reason. Odd, considering that iMovie edits in this format. _The option "Share to Media Browser" gives much better results._
You don't mention what format your source footage is (to the best of my recollection). This may have a bearing on the final result (burned DVD). Is it DV or AVCHD or some other format? iMovie '09 has a reputation for producing less than stellar results with DV footage, due to the way it handles interlaced material. AVCHD footage turns out quite well on DVD after editing in iMovie.
If you have not already tried this, export using "Share to Media Browser". In iDVD, from the Media tab, drag your movie into the background area of the iDVD theme, then proceed to set up the DVD as usual. When sharing to the Media Browser, you have a range of sizes to select from. Try Large (960x540) and also HD (1280x720). I've used both but see little difference, if any, in the final DVD. But I do get quite good results with both. The picture is softer and less saturated when compared with the original AVCHD footage viewed via the camcorder on an HD TV. This is to be expected, given one is HD and the other SD, of course. But it shouldn't be as bad as you are describing.
There are many posts about DVD quality on the forum. As you would be aware, some offer very good advice. Try different methods using a short test project to see what gives the best results for you. Look out for an e-book by Steve Mullen - not free, but some good tips there.
Hope this helps in some way. Quality issues can be frustrating!

  • Change iMovie project while Burning in iDVD?

    I use iMovie to import and process football game clips from our games and scout games. I change some clips, add titles, etc., and then ship it to iDVD for making the .img file. This process works really well.
    My question is once I start the .img burning process, can I close the source iMovie project and import a new set of clips (game) into a new project without harming the iDVD burn process?
    I'm very hesitant to do this as I'm not sure of the relationship between the iMovie project and iDVD when burning the DVD/.img file. I don't want to harm the iDVD processes by going to another project. Yes, I know that I can probably recover quickly, but this is normally a time driven process done in the wee hours the morning after the football games. I don't want to have to recover and start anything over at that time of night.
    My suspicion is that they are independent and I can import a second project while burning the first.
    Thanks

    ... I guess I got a bit dramatic there...
    that is the question... (besides the actual "what is showtime?" in about 30min???)
    I think, this is a typical Karl Petersen question..
    my knowledge stops at:
    iDVD uses the .imovie file as a reference, to collect all items needed for conversion; the conversion itself is a step-by-step process (menu, audio, video...); if you now change anything WHILE encoding... e.g. change the ref.mov by editing the project, or, better, delete something (a music file)… then?!
    that is a vry tricky process, a kind of "collaboration" as programmers would call it...- I'm no programmer, I'm a user: when finished, I quit iM, launch iDVD, tell my Cube "nitynight" and next morning (450MHz here), my .img is ready to burn on my disk....

  • Once iMovie project is burned with iDVD, picture on TV is cut off on both sides.

    I made a movie slideshow using iMovie and used iDVD to burn it to disc. The movie plays fine, but when played on a TV, both sides of the picture are cut off. I inerted the disc into a computer and it plays fine there... I guess the problem is just TV format?

    The following is just to illustrate Bengt's comment regarding TV-overscan:

  • How do you send more than 1 iMovie project to the same iDVD project???

    I have 3 separate movie projects in iMovie with chapter markers and am trying to send them over to ONE iDVD project. Every time I send a movie over, it creates a new iDVD project and I can't get all 3 movies in the same project.
    I'm trying to put each movies as a submenu under the main menu in iDVD.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    OK, after a long night of trial and error, I've figured it out...
    Issue 1: Files not showing up in the media pane--- miraculously after shutting down all open apps and then restarting the computer, my iMovie projects are now showing up in the movie pane of the media panel in iDVD...
    Issue 2: Getting more than one movie project into iDVD with all the chapter settings--- a little more complicated!
    In iMovie: SHARE > iDVD gives you a new iDVD project with 2 submenus: 1 with the entire movie, and 1 with "scene selections"
    If you try to add a second iMovie project to the same iDVD project; it's not possible from within iMovie (at least not that I can figure out!).
    You can add this second iMovie project to the same iDVD project by adding it to the project within iDVD from the MEDIA > MOVIES pane. This, however, will only add the movie and not give you the second submenu with scene selections.
    To get the 2nd iMovie project into iDVD, I dragged the 2nd movie project from a finder window into the opened iDVD project. This adds the 2 submenus (1 with the movie and 1 with the scene selections) to the iDVD project.
    Hope this is useful to someone else, too.
    Thanks!

  • My iMovie project has sound, but no sound when burned in iDVD

    I created a movie in iMovie then burned the disc in iDVD. The sound is good when I play the project in iMovie, but after I burned the disc in iDVD I cannot hear any sound. What should I do?
    THanks

    The following info was obtained from the Apple knowledge base:
    Delete encoded assets from the project.
    Burn another disc or Save as Disc Image, mount the image and test in DVD Player and then burn your DVD with Disk Utility.
    This issue can also occur if third-party (non-Apple) QuickTime plug-ins are installed. If the issue still occurs after trying the steps above, check for third-party plug-ins in ~/Library/QuickTime/ and /Library/QuickTime. Move these to the desktop, and then log out and log back in to the computer

  • A portion of audio that is synced in iMovie, is out of sync when burned with iDVD. How can I avoid this?

    I'm trying to burn a simple movie, using iMovie and finishing in iDVD. A portion of the audio is out of sync when burned, despite it being in sync in iMovie. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    Try to - Save as a DiskImage - then test this with Apple DVD-tool.

  • 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

  • Multiplexer error when burning from IDVD

    I am getting a Multiplexer error after rendering a movie from IDVD. The project is 7GB in the "project info" screen. When I open the folder in "documents" it says its size it 92 KB. "Project info" says I have over 60 GB available. ? Do I need an external hard drive? Am I out of memory? Thank you!!

    I am also having a multiplexing error using IDVD and I movie 09. I like to think I can solve these types of problems on my own but I am running out of good ideas. I have spent the last 10 days trying to burn the same project. I have pages of notes of things I have tried. I have been using I DVD for several years and this is the first serious problem I have encountered. I believe that this issue needs to be resolved by Apple.
    I don't believe that size is an issue. My project is 240 min long and is created using 2 seperate IMovie Projects. The first one burned just fine but the second one gives a Multiplexer error at the end of Processing the Movies. I was able to isolate the part of the movie that causes the error by using QT to split the original movie into parts. Once I was able to isolate the parts of the video that will consistently fail I tried to re produce the original source clips and replace them in the original project (also tried twice to re create the project from scratch). Unfortunately the same error happens.
    I am willing to try any other suggestions so please share if you know what is going on. I am getting desperate as this Movie is for a customer and I need to deliver.

  • Garbled audio when burning to idvd 08

    I have idvd 7.0.1 and imovie 6.0.3. Everytime I burn my present project it burns seemingly without errors. But then when i put it in my mac it just spits it the dvd without playing it. I've then taken the dvd and put it in a dell laptop and the dvd video plays fine but the audio is garbled. Any suggestions on what might be wrong and how to fix the problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi
    Three thoughts.
    • free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? 25Gb or more ?
    • How did You go from iMovie to iDVD ? via Share/Export to iDVD" within iMovie ?
    I don't I close iMovie and open iDVD then either drop the movie icon (with a Star on it)
    or import it into iDVD.

  • Movie distortion when burned using iDVD 6

    Hello,
    I am creating a movie with iMovie 6 and when I tried to preview a 'work in progress' version on my TV by burning a DVD using iDVD 6 there is a problem. What happens is whenever there is rapid movement of a subject, eg an arm movement, the subject (arm) becomes distorted and 'lined instead of it's normal solid, smooth shape. There is also a slight reduction in clarity in the picture in general. I have made movies before (albeit with earlier versions of iMovie and iDVD on OS X 10.3.9 iMac) and burned them to DVD without any problem.
    Can anyone help please?
    Thanks
    Dan

    I am also having problems with the image quality of the DVDs burned from iDVD. Are there no "experts" or moderators on these forums to respond to this issue
    There are several experts here with knowledge about iDVD and creating DVDs, but we find it impossible to respond to general 'rants'. You will find MANY message threads here in which we have helped people who came here with specific problems.
    Saying "I am also having problems with the image quality of the DVDs burned from iDVD" tells us NOTHING. What is the source of your video content? How long is the video content in minutes? What format (CODEC) is it in? ... the list can go on.
    NTSC DVDs are low resolution devices (less than 640x480 pixels - that's 0.3 megapixels) and may be heavily mpg-2 compressed. They are designed for viewing on TV sets and not full screen on computer monitors.
    Are there no "experts" or moderators on these forums to respond to this issue?
    ... and what did you expect us to say?

  • The error #-2147352543 was reported- when burning from iDVD

    I created a DVD project in iDVD and used Share to use iDVD. When I click the burn button I get this error: "The error #-2147352543 was reported…" I clicked on the map and there are no error triangles. The error appears almost immediately. My iDVD software is up to date. I was able to burn a short DVD a few days ago without problems.
    Please help.

    error message as soon as I click the burn button.
    Can you create a disk image?
    Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/18.html
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
    There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
    Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

  • IMovie project to DVD without iDVD?

    I'm a total newbie to iMovie and iDVD (using v. 4 of both). I'm trying to help my son get a simple 3-minute iMovie project onto a DVD for a school project. Teacher will play the DVD on a TV for whole class. My question is do I have to go through iDVD to burn a DVD that will play on a TV? Is there anyway to "Share" it straight out of iMovie since I don't need any fancy openings etc.?
    To let you know what I've already tried: I "shared" the project out of iMovie as a Full Quality DV and then burned that to a DV+R disk just using the disk utility. My home DVD player said "error: incompatible disk". After reading these forums I see a DVD-R is recommended, and it's better to burn through Toast (I have v.6). If I make those two changes will I be successful?
    Thanks for any help for a harried mom.

  • Why are there scan lines at the top of my iMovie project when I play it in iMovie?

    I am currently running OS X 10.9.4 on my 2012 MacBook Pro. I have used one of the templates in Hollywood Trailers in iMovie and when I edited it the template with my videos and text and then I play it, I see little white lines or "scan lines" sporadically at the top of the screen when it is playing. I just wanted to know is this normal before it gets published or saved or do I need to do something else to fix the problem?

    There are so many instances of what Andy describes and so many responses like yours - "Take what comes!" What sort of an approach is that?
    The point is that you are wrong to say that if you are on Manual, you should just put up with it.  The previous version placed the new Event in perfect (end) position - so clearly this is an Apple oversight during revision.  It doesn't even place the newcomer at the very top - always second from left.
    I have already placed feedback, as have countless others, but surely this site is for talking it over with one's peers?
    I just didn't want Andy to get the door shut in his face by your response.
    I will now get on my white horse and ride into the sunset knowing that my job is done here .......
    (You may not be old enough to understand the last line, sorry.)

  • Picture is cropped when burning an idvd project that was created in imovie

    Good Evening! I am a new Mac user and finding it fun to work in imovie. However, I am running into a problem and looking for advice on how to fix it. I uploaded some pics from my camera and created a great 4 minute video in imovie with music, transitions, etc. I created it with standard settings and shared with multimedia Large, then added it into an idvd project. The problem is when i burn the dvd and play it on my dvd player the pictures are zoomed in a little. Let me give you an example..the very first slide is a group picture and underneath is the caption "circle of friends"...on the tv..the two people on the ends are not visible and the caption is also not all visible..what could be the problem and what is the fix?? please help this is what i was working on for a christmas gift...oh one more thing..when i preview you it in idvd and imovie and even on apple tv...it looks great..just when i burn it that it doesn't come out right
