Imovie to Idvd, not getting full 'movie'

I don't know if this is an Imovie 8.0.5 (09) issue or an Idvd 7.0 issue, but it is really about to kick my #$#.... here is the problem:
i've created a slide show "movie" in Imovie using slide shows from Iphoto 8.1.1 (09), no chapters, just the one full hour of slides with music.( i don 't know how to make chapters anyway. this is a first time project for me) ... SOMEWAY. i did it RIGHT the first time!! ... however, there were a few mistakes in the finished project, so i had to re-edit and do it again... here is where the problem starts: I did it again... exported and imported into IMovie, added the music tracks and 'shared' to Idvd, then to Media browser. Opened in IDVD ( there has to be an easier way, but this is the way i was told to do it) when it opened in idvd... only 15 minutes of the 'movie' was there. it's not as if it only transferred one clip... because where it stops isn't even at the end of a clip.... i have done it 5-6 times now and still the same outcome. WHAT am i missing??? the finished project should be 3.89 GB but the one i keep getting is 536.2 MB. i have 79.6 GB free on my hard drive......anyone???

i had done a trial export to imusic to see what would happen...the same way i did to idvd, and the entire clip went there.
i'll give it a shot.. at this point, i'd stand on my head while whistling dixie if that would work!!
i thought it was maybe my placement of the file when i place it in my 'theme'. i tried that, but it didn't do anything... that would have been the easy fix!
so, now another couple of hours for export and we'll see if that did it....
thanks... hopefully!!

Will not share Imovie with Idvd. Gets so far and then a box saying Unable to prepare project for publishing because an error occured (-41)

Cannot SHARE project from IMovie to Idvd. Gets so far and then a box with a message saying Unable to prepare project for publishing because an error occured (-41).

Bengt is as always entirely correct, but another meaning of error -41 is that you have chosen the wrong encoding setting for the length of video you have:
iDVD encoding settings:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1502?viewlocale=en_US
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced two-pass technology to encode your video (The first pass determines which parts of the movie can be given greater compresson without quality loss and which parts can’t. The second pass then encodes those different parts accordingly) , resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned about the time taken.
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

Snow base station next to imac - yet not getting full strength reception?

I have my snow base station sitting about 1 foot from my imac, yet only 3 out of the four bars are dark. Meaning I'm not getting full reception? Why is this is? I can't say I notice a significant difference in internet usage, but every little bit helps. I only have a cordless 5.8 ghz phone and my Harmon Kardon soundsticks speakers on the same desk. But from what I understand, 5.8 ghz are not supposed to interfere with cordless internet.
Any suggestions?

Duane, I've tried every channel and no improvement. The only thing I have discovered is if I hold the base station in my hand and lift it up above my head - I get full signal strength. However, if I hold it up and place it against the wall (as though I were to hang it), it drops back down to three bars.
Do you think if I got the newest airport express, my signal strength would be better? Or do you think a more insulated ethernet cable would help? Or could it be my imac airport card?
Thanks for your help.

Not getting Full LTE reception

I get 2 to 3 bars tops in 21136, yet going down the street to 21117, i get full LTE. Can this be corrected?

Thanks for replying, and that is exactly my point, i must be hitting a different tower. I am getting upload of 2.52 mbps / 1.09 mbps download as apposed to 44.64 upload / 46.47 or so download. I want to know if there is any way to be able to connect to the tower that i would get better reception on? or this is one of those that unfortunately, i wont have a choice?
Just because the speed is different does not mean you are on a different tower. You said you are just down the street from where you were getting a stronger signal. This does not mean you are on a different tower. You could possibly be on the same tower, just further away from it and therefore a weaker signal.
Normally, your phone will connect with the tower which has the strongest signal for the area. As you move from one area to another and the signal from a different tower becomes stronger, your phone will switch over to the other tower.

Not getting full Window for iTunes Store

I have the "Use full window for iTunes Store" selected and it's not working. It is causing most front page section links to not work also. I figured this was some kind of bug because today when I started iTunes it was back at the full window for the first time in months. Then when I clicked on TV Shows it went back to the partial window and links to some items would not work on the main page. I`ve tried uninstalling but nothing seems to work. I can deal with the store in a partial window but hate when the links don`t work. Any ideas?

I fooled around and figured out that it is Roboform password manager that is causing this problem. When I exit the program from the tray icon and start iTunes and move into the store I get full window and all links work.

Imovie and iDVD not come with Leopard?

My purchase of Leopard did not load iMovie or iDVD. I did an erase and install option.
I got iTunes and iCal, etc. but not the others.
Is this standard or did I load up wrong?
anybody know yet?

This isn't a mistake. Leopard is the operating system.
iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, and Garageband have always been part of a separate product called "iLife". When you purchase a new Mac, you get a copy of Leopard and a copy of iLife. If you choose to upgrade the operating system or iLife, you do so separately.
iTunes is distributed with the OS, but it's also free to download and generally treated as an independent product in its own right.

IDVD not encoding my movie help!?

I want to make a DVD with iDVD but my .mp4 movie is too large. The notice says that "Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window." so i changed to encoder setting from "Best performance" to "High quality" but then this screen comes up.
http://tinypic.com/r/2mrbeaq/7
Notice how it does not encode and im left with a gray shade?
I tried to burn it, but it says "There was an error during the encoding process"
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I came across this article in the Google search that brought me to this thread.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
It says for High Quality and Professional Quality the video won't encode until you burn the DVD. It takes longer, but allows for the larger files. Good luck!

Not getting full 5.1 sound

Hi,
I have a set of Logitech x540 (5.1) speakers hooked up to the integrated sound card on my Pavilion p7 1003w desktop. The problem is I can't get full 5.1 sound out of them. When I right click on the speak icon in the system tray and configure for 5.1 sound, I only get sound out of the front left and right speakers when I click on the Test button, no rear or subwoofer sounds. Can anyone suggest a fix? Thanks
Rick

I just started up ATV and restarted it. When it started up there was an HD 'short' that did light up the Dolby on on my receiver. Actually, this morning I did a software update and when it restarted I got that same 'short' and I'm almost positive that it was 5.1 Surround Sound. I checked it with the HD Trailers, but apparently they're not 'Surround'. I'm just going to watch 'Fantastic Four', I would think it has to work if 'FF' is Dolby Surround.

Not getting full Gigabit Ethernet Speed on iMac Core Duo

I am using Airport to connect to a Linksys Wireless Access Point connected to my DSL modem. I am using ethernet to connect to a 3Com OfficeConnect 8-port Gigabit switch. I have 2x 500 GB LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini's (with Gigabit interface) connected to the switch.
The lights on the switch tell me that the drives and iMac are connected at full speed, however I can transfer a 650MB .dmg file to a firewire 400 drive in 1/4 of the time it takes to transfer the same file to one of the gigabit ethernet drives.

I have no idea what that all means, but i do know that I am not getting gigabit ethernet speed.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

If you are transferring data via wireless then you cannot approach Gigabit Ethernet speed. 802.11g has a maximum transfer speed of 54 Mbps while 802.11n is about 130 Mbps. This is much slower than a FW400 port. Your router and switch must both be Gigabit capable and your drive must be connected to Ethernet to even hope to achieve Gigabit speeds - no wireless.

Help please! I can not get my movies and picture in to iDVD.

I open IDVD, go to media, go to movies, but when I "pull" a movie in to iDVD it just "jump back". Some times it says " It is not a movie". And it is all types of movies.

Has anyone found a fix to this?

Can't burn iMovie to iDVD (not responding) - after "Encoding Audio"

Hello,
I have a similar post in the iDVD board, but thought someone in this section may be able to help as well.
I have a 15 minutes project (almost 2 GB) iMovie show that I've attempted to burn to DVD through iDVD (4 times with the same problem)...
It goes through the "encoding menus" and videos, but gets stuck on "Encoding Audio" and in my Force Quit window says (Not Responding). I have almost 12 GB free on my PowerBook G4 and successfully burned a test DVD of this last week before completion (when I only had 7 free GB - I also added on another 2 minutes since then)...
Any help or ideas? I need to get this done ASAP...
Thanks
Chris

Chris, what I've found is that patience is the key here. You really can't count on the progress bar to let you know how far along in the process you are. I've run into the same problem as you. When the burn symbol stops spinning and you get the beachball/lollipop don't rush right off to force quit. Just because the force quit menu shows that iDVD is NOT RESPONDING does not mean that all is lost. What made me realize that iDVD was still working was the Activity Monitor located in your Utilities folder under applications (applications/utilities/activity monitor).
Do yourself a favor and run this app while burning you project. When you get to the point where it appears to hang on you check the status of iDVD in the activity monitor window. More than likely it will show that iDVD is still using a good % of your CPU (%CPU column numbers will constantly change as iDVD demands more or less from your processor). You may also notice that it may show that iDVD is not responding (as well as a couple other processes that are related to the prog), this doesn't mean a thing because iDVD is in reality still chugging along. Of course if the %CPU column is showing 0.00 then iDVD has indeed stopped workin in which case you do have some issues.
Hope this helps
