IMovies won't load into iDVD
I'm running iDVD 6.0.3 on OS 10.4.9. On the right of my iDVD screen, it says Audio, Photo, Movies, and below this is a window with a folder that says Movies. This folder has a sub-folder named DivX Movies.
So my first question is, how do I get my projects that I created with iMovie HD (also 6.0.3) into that Movies folder?
Second, is it possible to combine two separate movies in iMovie HD and import the whole thing to an iDVD project? I opened one movie and tried to import a second, but got an error message that Quicktime couldn't parse it: -43.
My third question is more complicated. I have a series of movies in various folders on an external firewire drive. Each folder contains 2-3 movies that I want to burn on a single disc, with menus. Last night I dragged one of these folders into the top window on iDVD that I mentioned above, and the thumbnails of those (two) movies appeared in the bottom window. I dragged them onto the Fish theme screen, and the first title appeared at the top in large letters. Below that, it said Play Movie and Scene Selection in smaller text, and below these the second movie title appeared, in the same smaller font size.
Then, when I tried to rename the bottom title, everything disappeared. The top title reverted to the default "Fish" title and jumped to the right, and the second movie vanished. I quit the project and started over, dragged my folder with the two movies into the window again, and now I find that the thumbnails are no longer loading.
I tried one of the other folders which contained three movies, but only one of them appeared. It also doesn't load as a picture, but as a Quicktime icon with the large Q in the center and a small iDVD logo on the bottom left.
Hopefully someone with more experience can offer advice.
Do all of your movies have chapters?
When you drag the first movie (let's call it Movie A) onto iDVD, you will get the 'Play Movie' and 'Scene Selection' options (if you have chapters) on the main menu. Selecting the 'Scene Selection' will take you to a submenu with the chapters(scenes) that you created in Movie A.
When you drag the second movie (call it Movie B), you will get a text button with the Movie B's name, that when selected, will take you to a submenu for Movie B that has the 'Play Movie' and 'Scene Selection' options for Movie B.
Same thing for subsequent movies (Movie C, etc).
It sounds as if you wish to have all the movie choices on the main menu like this;
Movie A Movie B Movie C
Play MovieA Play MovieB Play MovieC
Scene SelectA Scene SelectB Scene SelectC
To do this, go ahead and drop in Movie A. Use the ''free position" option for the buttons so that you can place the 'play movie' and 'scene selection' for Movie A under its title.
Then, drop in Movie B. Click on its name to go to its submenu. From that submenu, select the 'Play Movie' text, and COPY. Go back to the main menu and PASTE under MovieB's title. Navigate back to the submenu by clicking on Movie B's title again, and DELETE 'Play Movie' from the submenu. Now do the same COPY/PASTE with 'Scene Selection' and return back to the submenu to DELETE it. Now the submenu has been entirely deleted, and the two movie options on are the main iDVD menu.
Repeat with MovieC, etc.
Post back if this is not what you are wanting to do.

I have now tried several of the suggestions regarding exporting from imovie to idvd, and I'm wondering whether I'm just missing something. Many of the posts here mention a 2 hour movie length limit, but imovie says the file is 31 minutes long. Once exported to idvd, the file size is a little over 7 GB, and won't open in any of the themes or even as a project, new or existing. Is the file size limiting it? Is the imovie length indicated irrelevant in idvd? Do I need to change settings somehow in imovie before exporting? Thanks.
I got a couple of emails from Bengt Wärleby who ran some tests. Here's what me send me:
Hi
an interesting problem but - out of my range
have a bit of similar problem with movies recorded on my small Leica D-Lux 3
as I import the movies to iPhoto and from this to iMovie and get OK sound
but a bad picture
I selected to use
• 30fps 16:9L
and can also use 10 fps 16:9L or 15fps 16:9H
May be 15fps 16:9H will deliver a better picture - I'll have to try it out.
Then:
OK
So I made some quick tests -
• Importing via iPhoto is not optimal - far from it
• 15fps 16:9H gave a sharper picture - but 15fps is jumpy - panning around looks very amateuristic - stable picture is OK
• In iMovie Importing from line two option and here first suggestion Import Movie - AND - put SD-Card into Card reader
and then
Select movie file
AND - where to store it - Yes too obvious to me > three tries to get this right
AND - Optimize the Video
RESULT was much better
Conclution
• Setting on Cameras - Importing
• Way to import into iMovie - Important
That's ways end for me - Hopefully not just confusing but a bit of help.
Yours Very - Bengt W
Hopefully some of this may lead you in the right direction. -
Iphoto does not load into iDVD- too many photos?
Recently upgraded to Leopard 10.5.6 and iLife '09. Ever since, iPhoto will not load into iDVD (iphoto 8.0 and iDVD 7.0.3). When trying to open current and new projects in iDVD, the project opens, and plays, but the photos from iPhoto never load, the loading icon just spins on and on. When I open a new document, the same thing happens. Tried trashing preferences in both programs, reinstalling iLife, and reparing permissions. All software updates are current. Still won't work.
I am starting to wonder if it has to do with the number of photos I have in iPhoto, which is about 4000. The photos loaded with no problem until I upgraded. Could it be that the upgrades in iPhoto just make the files too large, and it's too much to expect that many photos to load? Does anyone know how many photos is too many,— or can you suggest anything I have not tired that might work?This is from Mac Help. It is a good idea to create another account to use in troubleshooting situations such as this. After you create the new account, open iDVD from that account. Try creating a small project to see if you are having the same problems. Post back with your results.

Imovie won't load my itunes music and photos from iphoto.
Imovie won't load my itunes music and photos from iphoto. This also does not work on my garageband for itunes music. I have tried backing my itunes media and rebuilding but it has not helped. Anyone with a solution?
Note that you have to actually run the update - where you get the window where you have the choices to "Update" or "Restore" your iPod (you'll of course want to "Update"). It sounds to me like you downloaded the updater but did not actually run it to update your iPod.
Hope this helps.

All of a sudden my iMovie won't load and I get this error msg: Quartz Extreme Required? Whats going on. Never happened before?
I googled the Quartz Extreme Required message and got the following response on MacMost:
Gary Rosenzweig says:
Try changing the screen resolution to something different, and then back again. See if that fixes it. If not, try logging off and back on. If not, try restarting. If the problem persists, perhaps a visit to the Genius Bar.
A number of people said this fix worked for them.
Good luck.. -
Fonts won't load into Leopard Font Book
My fonts won't load into my font book, but they are loading into the system. I reloaded my OS software hoping it would fix the problem, but it hasn't. Anyone with suggestions on what to do would be greatly apprecitated!!!
My fonts won't load into my font book, but they are loading into the system.
That's kind of contradicting. Are you saying you can manually place the fonts into a Fonts folder and they'll work, but can't be added to Font Book? Or they aren't working at all? If they're Type 1 PostScript fonts, read on.
Type 1 PostScript fonts are a set. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.
Adobe Garamond
AGarBol
AGarBolIta
AGarIta
AGarReg
AGarSem
AGarSemIta
The first file which I highlighted in green is the font suitcase of bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts.
1) The files for a Type 1 PostScript font must have both the screen and printer fonts for a given set in order to work. They also must be in the same folder.
2) The suitcase of bitmap fonts will work alone, but output will be terrible since the system will print the fonts using the 72 dpi screen fonts in the suitcase if the outline portions are missing.
3) Having only the outline fonts will not work. You will get exactly what you are having problems with. You can see the fonts, but they will not load. That's not a problem with Font Book, Suitcase or other font manager. None of them, nor the system itself will load outline fonts without the matching suitcase of screen fonts present. -
IMovie 5.0.2 project won't import into iDVD 4.0.1
Aloha--
I'm working on an iMac G5 running OS 10.4.7. I am trying to bring an iMovie (just over 13 GB) on a La Cie external firewire drive into iDVD, also to be saved to the La Cie. The La Cie is formatted as Mac OS Extended. iMovie quits after/during rendering. I have used the iMovie-iDVD process successfully in the past, albeit with smaller files residing on my HD.
I've browsed this and the iDVD forum. I have removed possible incompatible QuickTime extensions, and I've tried to open the project into an earlier version of iMovie (4.0.2). However, the earlier version of iMovie won't open at all. I've also tried to open up iDVD and import it directly, but the menu import function just doesn't work (I can see and click on the file, but it never imports), and because it's on the La Cie and not my internal HD, it's not in the "media" folder so I can't pull it in from that menu.
Could this be due to:
(1) The fact that one or both projects are on the La Cie (and what would the work-around be?)?
(2) One of more version of the program aren't compatible with the OS?
(3) Some other reason that I can't dream of right now?
Unfortunately, I need the DVD by tomorrow, so any prompt help would be both useful and appreciated!
--Susan
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)The movie that's in the iDVD folder (of the Shared Movies folder) contains chapter information. If you imported that movie to iDVD, iDVD should have delivered chapters.
Make sure your iDVD preferences are set to accept chapters.
If nothing works, this failure of iMovie 5 to export to iDVD suggests some kind of underlying problem. I suspect something is corrupt in the video or audio content.
Try importing that made-for-iDVD movie I mentioned to a NEW iMovie 5 project. (Drag it to the Timeline of the project.) That should deliver "cleaner" video/audio. Add your chapters to THAT project, send it to iDVD. Everything might start working as it should.

Can I drop an IMovie Slideshow with music into IDVD?
Hello,
I created (and it took a long time) a slideshow with music using IMovie. Now I want to burn it to a DVD and am realizing I need to put it into IDVD. I saved it to my desktop and then dropped it into the IDVD Magic program but it does not save the slideshow. Or if it does, I can't seem to figure out how to play it. I also can't figure out how to choose the picture for the IDVD theme page. Any help with how to burn my IMovie slideshow on a DVD using either IDVD or some other way, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!Or if it does, I can't seem to figure out how to play it.
Click on the "Preview" button in the bottom left corner of the iDVD window. For more details go to iDVD Help: >_Making a Magic iDVD_
I also can't figure out how to choose the picture for the IDVD theme page.
Once you have added your slideshowGo to Help: _Adding images and movies to drop zones_
Any help with how to burn my IMovie slideshow on a DVD using either IDVD or some other way, would be greatly appreciated.
I am not familiar with the workings Magic DVD, but if you have already created the slideshow, it might be just as easy to follow the regular route in making this project. If you wish to try this, follow these steps.
1. Open iDVD, select to create a new project, and name it.
2. Select the theme.
3. Import your slideshow into iDVD. Go to your movies folder (or wherever your project is saved), and drag the iMovie icon (the one with the star) to the window of your iDVD project. Avoid drop zones.
4. You can add photos to the drop zones by clicking on the "Media" Button in the bottom right corner, and then on "Photos". Just drag and drop the photos to their desired location.
5. Preview by clicking on the triangle at the bottom of the window.
6. When you are ready to burn, first go to File>Save as disk image. This will allow you to have a final check of your project before burning to DVD. You can see how this project will actually play when played on a regular DVD player. If everything is fine, you can then burn the DVD using Disk Utility.
I hope this helps.

IMovie won't export to iDVD...why?
I have a project in iMovie 9.0.9 and I want to send it to iDVD to burn a disk. It worked fine on another project last week and now it doesn't. iDVD opens, but nothing is there. I can't find the converted project. Where does it get saved? Do I have to manually drop it into iDVD?
I do not want to move this project over to the new iMovie version because I believe it isn't as good as the old version.Hi
Most probably a corrupted pref file.
BUT
Share to iDVD - is no good way to go - the DVD will not be as good as it can be from iMovie'11 (9.0.9)
Do: Share to Media Browser - and as MEDIUM - HD will not improve either as iDVD does a bad job in Scaling Down.
Then in iDVD - You find Your movie under the Media button (down to the right) and here Movies.
Use a name that is easy to remember - You can change it when in iDVD.

The other day I bought some mp3s from Amazon (with no DRM). The Amazon download application loaded them straight into iTunes just fine. But I noticed that the application stored the files in a place I didn't like (I like to organize my music myself). So, I removed the songs from iTunes, moved the files to a proper location, adjusted the volume of the songs (so they match the rest of my music), adjusted the artist name in the tags, and then tried to re-load the songs into iTunes. No luck. Now, I can't get iTunes to recognize and load the songs. They are standard mp3 files that I can play with any other application. But iTunes won't load them, not a folder at a time, not one by one, not using "import." Nothing works. Any ideas? I really want to enjoy this new album that I bought.
I tried upgrading to the latest version of iTunes. It didn't help.
ThanksI have a very similar, if not, the same problem. I got my music from other sources, but they were all standard unprotected mp3s with nothing special at all about them. I load them into iTunes fine, and they play fine. But sometimes iTunes will randomly just not play a song. The album art is lost for the song, and I cannot modify it because in "Get Info" the tab for album artwork just isn't there. Most of the time single songs are not affected, it's usually a whole album that will just stop being playable to iTunes.
The songs also disappear off of my iPod, and if I remove them from my iTunes library (but keep the files) and then add them back, well, they simply do not add back. It's as if iTunes didn't even recognize the files as music files. If I keep the songs in my library and try "Convert Selection to MP3," iTunes gives me a useless "Unknown Error -50"
This happens incredibly rarely, but it has happened to me at least four times in the past year, and the problem has never been fixed. I am convinced that this is just a random failure of iTunes and cannot find any possible explanation for it. It's extremely frustrating because there seems to be any cause at all for this problem to occur. -
Project won't load into timeline
When I click on a specific project to open in the timeline the arrow icon showing the "film reel" (in the bottom left corner) switches directions like it's loading it into the timeline, but I still see everything in my project library. FCPX behaves like I'm seeing the timeline, but I'm not. I'm in the middle of editing a documentary and this is really bad timing for the software to give me serious issues like this.
I trashed preferences using "Preference Manager" and restarted, but it's not fixing the issue. This happened once before a couple of months ago and that trick fixed it, but it's not working this time.
Please help!
I'm using FCPX v10.0.8 on a MacBookPro 2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7 with 16GB of RAM. My media is on a Pegasus RAID connected via Thunderbolt.This happened again! It has to be a bug, and it's a debiltating bug. FCPX loads your chosen project into the timeline, but the project library does not move out of the way. The software thinks it's moved out of the way and behaves like you are viewing the timeline, but you can't see any clips.
I trashed prefs, emptied the trash, shut down the computer, started up, launched FCPX, didn't open any other apps. One project loaded into the timeline (a shorter, less complex one), and then when I went to the one I need to work on....boom! It's broken again.
I worked almost all day today and it was fine, but now it got into this mode again. I had to quit and restart the program because other things were starting to get buggy (zoom viewer adjustment wasn't working correctly and the graphics on the audio weren't redrawing properly).
I'm quite frustrated. -
Ipod won't load into "My Library," HELP!
I was using two Ipods. One was loading music into My Library and the other was loading into a file called "Mark's IPOD." I gave the one of the Ipods away - the one that loaded into the library and deleted the songs out of the library. Now I want my remaining Ipod to download into the library when I hook it up to the computer, but it continues to open a separate file: Mark's Ipod.
I've uninstalled the ipod software and itunes software and reinstalled it, and deleted the files in "My Music," however the problem is still unresolved. Do I need to find a backup file and get rid of that?
Thanks for your help.Hey,
did you already checked your past purchases? You can try to locate the missing music using the past purchase menu in iTunes Store.
The missing songs should be visible with the cloud symbol. Just click on the cloud and download the songs.
If the music isn't displayed here, maybe it is hidden. You can unhide your purchases in your account information. Please select "Store" > "account" and enter your password. Under the subject "iTunes in the Cloud" you should find a menu "hidden purchases" or something. Unhide the music and you should see it on the past purchases like described. -
Songs won't load into ipod nano from new computer.
Load itunes library from old computer. Installed iTunes& authorized new computer. iTunes recognizes my iPod nano (4th generation), but won't load songs when synchronizing.
Any suggestions on how to fix?I am having a similar problem. I recent reset my iPod as some songs were just skipping during play (they showed on the screen but after a second would just skip to next song), and have been trying to re-sync with no success. I have over 8,000 songs and when I attempt to update songs iTunes puts about 100 or so songs on then stops and states all songs have been updated. When I select update again it adds another 100 or so. Counting to 8,000 is going to take a while!! Don't know what to do...iTunes 5.0.1.4 9/23/2005 firmware. HELP!

Jon,
I'm sorry, but your DVD based camera isn't a good fit for use on a Mac. If you finalize the discs in the camera you may be able to play them in your Mac and copy the MPG-2 compressed content to you Mac from the DVD.
To be able to then use your movies in iMovie and iDVD will require you transcode the MPG-2 compressed movies you have into DV video. When you create a DVD with iDVD the DV content will be reencoded to MPG-2. If this sounds less than ideal, that's because it is.
Several programs will do the conversion from MPG-2 for you: mpegstreamclip, Roxio's Toast and VisualHub are just three such programs.
