IMovie to iDVD to burn DVD -- audio dropped in burning --

My son is making an ad for his piano teacher for a school project. We got the clips in imovie. The clips had sound. We edited film to desired length and content. I could burn the DVD but it had no sound. My computer seemed to go through the burning of disc without much work on my part. So, I have no idea how to add the sound. HELP PLEASE!
ALso, when I downloaed it into Quick Time in case that would help, audio transferred. UNfortunately his teacher will only accept a tape or DVD.
THANKS!!

What was the source of the video clips? DV Camera?

Can't get a project from iMovie to iDVD to burn

I did this once before when I was making a test DVD and it worked very simply. I shot about 50 min of video with my camera, downloaded it into iMovie and burned it to a CD-R from iDVD. It played back perfectly on my DVD player. Now that I'm trying to do it with a 2 hour video I shot, I cannot figure out how to get the (3 part) movie from iMovie to iDVD to burn? It all seemed obvious the first time and now nothing is working. I have the almost 2 hour video saved in both my Event Library and Project Library but cannot figure out where to go from here. Help!

IMovie to iDVD to burn

I created an iMovie and now want to burn it to DVD. I use the "share" menu option in iMovie and select iDVD and that brings up iDVD. iDVD seems to force me to have one of its themes at the begining of the burned movie. So I take it I have to select an iDVD theme, set it up (some have drop zones and others do not) and then create a disk image from the iDVD File menu. Then use Disk Utility to burn the DVD. Is that procedure correct?
What if I don't want to add an iDVD theme to the iMovie at all?
I'm new to this (my first movie) and am just trying to figure this all out!
I am using iMovie and iDVD 6 plus and OS 10.4.6

Under the file menu in iMovie or in iDVD? I have made 12 minute movie in iMovie. I have done this before and exported to iDVD when I wanted to use themes (I just read that importing from iDVD is better, so I'll do that from now on). However, this time, I will be using my movie in a loop. It will continue to play at our school auction all evening, so I will want it to repeat when it comes to the end. I think that if I put in themes, I will have to push play in order to make it begin again each time. I'm hoping that if I burn a DVD straight from the iMovie, I can make it repeat using the settings on the television automatically, but I'm having trouble following these instructions. I don't see the "Onestep DVD from Movie" under my file menu. I see that it iDVD can make a movie directly from my video camera - is that what you were talking about? I'd love to know if it's possible to burn a DVD without any themes. Thanks in advance for any help!

Non riesco a masterizzare i miei progetti di imovie da idvd, il disco dvd viene espulso mentre mancano 7 o 8 minuti con la scritta completato

i cannot masterize my projects of imovie, through idvd and this is the first time i masterized so many times and faced no problem.Any body who can help me?

Here's another way of saying the same as mishmumken:
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Audio drops out of burned movie

Hey all.. I've burned a DVD twice now, and the audio is dropping out silent at the same point 3 minutes before the end of a 90 minute movie... the QT movie (H264) is fine, but when encoded in iDVD, i get the audio dropping out completely.
Anyone see this before?

I've seen audio drop/s before on an iDVD that exceeds 99 images.....yes.
(but not normally at the very tail end of the DVD). I've also seen audio drop and/or out of sync audio when not using the recommended 16 bit audio. Sometimes people forget that iMovie & iDVD works best with 16 bit and NOT so well with 12 bit audio.
Let me know if any of these are useful:

Preview in iDVD fine, audio drops off in data image or burned DVDs

Playback in Final Cut HD Express and iDVD preview works perfectly. I create a DVD image and the audio drops out the last minute of a 39 min program. The movie file source in iDVD is DV/DVC Pro. I did a Quicktime conversion from Final Cut using High Quality H.264 and the audio remained but the quality was awful. I did a program info in iDVD and the DV movie did not eat up too much space in iDVD so that's not an issue. I have 28 avail. GB in my external drive where the project is located so not an issue.
I have 23 GB left in my internal drive so that wouldn't be an issue either.
The Apple Store techs were stumped.
The audio that goes missing in the data image and a DVD I burned was a fade out done on Final Cut. There is a blue line on the timeline, but if that was an issue then it wouldn't play back in iDVD. It DOES play back perfectly in iDVD. Somewhere in the conversion from iDVD and a data image or DVD messes with that audio. Any hints?

No definite suggestions, except for things to try (might they count as hints?):
Before exporting from FCE, did you mix down the audio? (Sequence>Render Only>Mixdown).
Did you export a reference movie, or a self-contained movie? Whatever you did, you might try the other.
What versions of FCE, QuickTime, iDVD? Some recent QT updates have caused strange things to happen in older versions of FCE.

Audio drops when movie exported from iMovie into iDVD

Hi there,
I am a problem which I can't seem to fix.
I have created a 7 minute long slideshow in imovie with MP3 files from iTtunes embedded. The video and audio are fine when exported as a MOV file (and within iMovie itself). But when exported into iDVD for burning, the audio drops out completely after 3 and a half minutes.
I've tried updating iMovie, iDVD etc., deleting encoded assets as it says to do here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24043?viewlocale=en_US
to no avail.
Does anyone have any tips? My friend's wedding is on Saturday!
Thanks so much.

Hi
A. I do not use "Share to iDVD" - BUT "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (not HD or other res.) - Works much better.
B. When did it hang ?
a. On Export from iMovie to iDVD
b. When DVD is played on DVD-Player
If last one - then
• What brand of DVD did You use (Yes it matters)
• What type of DVD
• Free Space on Start-Up hard disk - How much
• Burn speed - did You set down this - I do to x2 or x4
Yours Bengt W

This is my first time using iphoto, I am trying to make a slide show that I can then burn to a dvd. The slide show is complete, but I'm not sure where to go now. Can I burn the slide show from iphoto or do I have to export to imovie or idvd?

I have completed the slide show i am making, but not sure what to do now. I want to burn it to a dvd, but not sure if i can do that from iphoto or do i need to export to imovie or idvd? If i need to export, will iphoto save a copy in iphoto? This may be really stupid, but I don't see an obvious way to save my slide show in iphoto. Please Help!

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.

If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
NOTE: If you're running iPhoto 9.5 the export options will be different.

I made a movie in Imovie and want to burn a DVD but don't want the Idvd selections How did just burn my imovie the wayit is

How do I get my imovie to be burnt onto dvd without having Idvd's themes?

In iDVD it's not exactly possible to make a DVD without menu, but there's a few workarounds:
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme"by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
On the other hand, you could also place a text saying "The End" in that menu ....
3. Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just un-check the appropriate check box
4. The "hard way": postproduction with myDVDedit
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:

Audio drop out after burning to iDVD

I am running FCE 2 and checked all of my audio (mixed it down and everything). Plays well when I run FCE. When I burn the clips to iDVD, I notice that the audio drops out in certain scenes, and it's the same scenes. Ruined 5 dvds so far after trying to a few things.
I am using all internal HDs (Extended Journaled). Any suggested would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi
a. Audio from iTunes - has to be used by a work around
I do - create a Playlist in iTunes with needed audio
Burn out as an Audio-CD (.aiff) Not .mp3
Use this audio in Your FinalCut project
b. I do from FCE/P to iDVD
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Not selfcontained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME Conversion (Important)
c. To get iDVD to run OK
• Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk ! (others of no importance)
• I use Verbatim DVDs
• DVD-R
• Burn speed set down to x4 or x1 (only relevant to newer iDVD)
(Instead download the Hack (Hurz and Pfurz) that makes it possibly to do a DiskImage with iDVD4
if earlier iDVD versions - forget this
then save as a DiskImage - test it with DVD-player tool and see that it runns OK
THEN do the actual DVD burn by using Disk Util tool from this DVD image You just did.
AND Here You can set down burn speed to x4 or x1.
• iDVD 4 disc image burning can be enabled through the patch Hurz and Pfurz - search the net.
Good luck Yours Bengt W

Burning imovie to Idvd drop out

I am burning my imovie to dvd but it is quitting each time during audio encoding. What can I do please?

How are you getting the movie from iMovie to iDVD? What version of iMovie are you using? If you're using the Share ➙ iDVD menu option (older versions of iMovie) change that to the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option and add the movie to iDVD via the Media Browser in iDVD.
As for the encoding error see Bengt Wärleby's post in this topic for possible causes and solutions: Multiplexing Error
Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:

How do I export my iMovie '11 video and burn it to a DVD? I've tried 'Share' - 'Media Browser', 'iDVD', and 'Export Movie' but always get an error message indicating that my movie is too long to publish. Thoughts?

How do I export my iMovie '11 video and burn it to a DVD? I've tried 'Share' - 'Media Browser', 'iDVD', and 'Export Movie' but always get an error message indicating that my movie is too long to publish. Thoughts? Additionally, what does 'File' 'Finalize Project' do?

Instead of Share to Media Browser, what happens if you try Share Menu > Export Movie... (choose Large size) and save it to the Desktop?
If that fails try Share Menu > Export using QuickTime...
Then pick Movie to QuickTime Movie, then click on Options... which is just to the right of Export
Under the Video section click on Settings...
Then in the pulldown menu at the top, titled Compression Type: Choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Then click OK. And click OK again, and save it to the desktop. Once the .mov file is created, you can import that into iDVD and most likely it will work in Wondershare Creator if you prefer to use that instead.

How to burn a DVD-Video out of iMovie without iDVD (pre-installed Lion)?

I am wondering how I could burn a DVD that works on standalone DVD players out of iMovie since iDVD has been banished from Macs with pre-installed OS X 10.7 Lion.
When I try to export iMovie projects to iDVD the machine naturally cannot find the program. How is the workaround instead?
Thx for your help (Mac newbie).

I have the same issue as olifinger

I was curious to know, how well does "burn" work? Please advise, thanks
