Importing iPhoto Slideshow into DVD SP3

Sorry if this is a basic &/or repeated question. I've designed and built a slideshow in iPhoto 5.0.4 and set it for iDVD/TV output (4:3). When I bring the resulting quicktime mov file into DVDSP, it horizontally squishes the movie. Is this because the nature of square versus rectangular pixels? I've tried bringing the file into quicktime pro and adding some horizontal length to compensate for this (720 to 760), and though it saves the file to that size, it decidedly doesn't show that way in DVDSP (still views as 720). I've looked in the manual and self-help books for DVDSP 3 & iPhoto to no avail. Probably an easy answer I'm missing. Thanks for any ideas you can offer. -M.

Thanks for replying. 720 x 480 is indeed the specs I'm using to export the slideshow from iPhoto. Yet for some reason, when viewing it in DVDSP, it horizontally compresses the movie. (Squishes it.) Is there something I'm missing on the DVDSP end?

    Is it possible to import an iPhoto slideshow into an iPad?

    Hi Constance,
    You would first need to export the slideshow from iPhoto as a Quicktime movie.
    Then you can view it on your iPad.
    Here's how:

  • Can I Import iPhoto slideshow into FCP?

    I wish to import a slideshow of a wedding to add to DV footage which ultimately wil be exported to iDVD. Trouble is, every time I import the slideshow it requires contstant rendering, and no matter how much I tweak the sequence settings- it still causes problems ie- constantly requires rendering, won't play properly- PAINFULLY slow... grrr. Any help appreciated in finding the right button? Be kind! I am sure the answer must be transparently obvious, but my manuals have not helped
    Ta again

    Many thanks for your help- my problem with iPhoto was that I could only create a sideshow with one music track-when a very long slideshow needed 3. I managed to export the slideshow using compressor turning the long slideshow into a DV file which FCP happily accepted. No doubt there is an easier way but I did not find it.
    Guess I'm the guy who goes for the scenic route
    ta again for your thoughts

  • Importing iphoto slideshows into imovie without degradation?

    I'm sure this has been asked before but I can not find an answer... I have created slideshows in iphoto and when I export/import into imovie they are horrible degraded and pixelated. Is there any way to import them and keep their quality from iphoto? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I know I can do Ken Burns on pictures directly in Imovie, but I would have to re-edit all of my portrait oriented photos so that they aren't cropped when the KB effect is applied and I'd rather not - I am happy with how the slideshows turn out in iphoto - if only they didn't look horrible once exported!

    I exported my slideshows as quicktime movies and imported them into iMovie as movie clips. They look good in playback. Of course I'm having other problems laying music over it, but it may be a problem unrelated to the Quicktime .mov files.

  • How can I make an iPhoto slideshow into a DVD in Lion?

    How can I make an iPhoto slideshow into a DVD in Lion?

    If you MacBook Pro came with Lion preinstalled then you will not have a copy of iDVD.  That's because iDVD and iWeb have been discontinued by Apple and is not longer being included in iLife.
    You can purchase a copy from Amazon.com: iLive 11.
    If you do have Lion this post will self destruct in 10, 9, 8... seconds and you can follow Terence's directionsl
    As for iDVD the following is a recommended workflow to follow;
    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 was 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.

  • How do you burn an iPhoto slideshow onto dvd?

    I am trying to burn an iPhoto slideshow onto DVD - any tips? Thanks!

    If you want to create a video DVD that will play on a set top DVD player to your TV read the following:
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    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, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.

    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.

  • Insert an iPhoto SlideShow into iDVD

    I do not succeed in inserting a SlideShow from iPhoto into iDVD including audio and slide effects. Only pictures will be inserted. Even exporting the slideshow from iPhoto into a QuickTime movie is losing the audio and slide effects. Can anyone give some advice what's going wrong?
    Message was edited by: hherb

    You cannot import an iPhoto Slideshow into iDVD and keep the audio and transition effects from iPhoto.
    See this: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8828619&#8828619
    You need to create the slideshow directly in iDVD, and add the audio and transitions from withing iDVD.
    Your transitions must be the same between the photos.
    It is reported here that you can do this with Quick Time: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10356386&#10356386

  • Inserting iphoto slideshow into fcp project

    Is it possible to insert an iphoti slideshow into a fcphd 4.5 project? A friend hired me to create a slideshow for her son's funeral and then to videotape the funeral. Now I would like to insert the slideshow into the video of the funeral but haven't the slightest clue how to do so.
    Any help would be MOST appreciated!
    Thanks in advance,

    You can't as far as I can see...
    Right, and I should have realized that when I put the screenshot up.
    Sorry. Another reason not to do the slideshow in iPhoto.
    One alternative, I guess, is to burn the iPhoto slideshow to DVD using the Share -> Send to iDVD command. Then you can rip that DVD back into QuickTime using DVDxDV or ffmpegX or something else.

  • Putting an iPhoto slideshow on DVD with Toast

    Hello
    I have a LaCie DVD burner, bought from the Apple shop in London with Toast Titanium 6. I want to save an iPhoto slideshow to DVD. Problem is, every time I try to drag a song from the Finder to Toast, I get the message that I do not have a valid Jam license.
    Can anyone please explain this to me? I am wondering if the Apple shop may have sold me the wrong product for my iBook!
    Thanks...

    PS. I can now get both slide-show and music on the DVD but can't play them simulteneously.
    Thanks to anyone who can advise..

  • Importing Romanian Subtitles into DVD SP

    I'm not able to import Romanian subtitles into DVD SP correctly.  I can see them correctly in a program on my computer called Jubler, but when I import them into DVD SP, non-English characters don't import correctly.  Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Gary

    Hi Nick,
    I appreciate your reply, though it didn't help.  After working on it for several hours, I did figure it out however.  I'll include here what I figured out incase someone else runs across the same problem.
    I found out I can do it in both Jubler (which is a free program) and TextEdit.
    I Jubler, I needed to import the .stl file encoded as ISO-8859-2, and save it out in UTF-16.
    In TextEdit, I had to open it as Central European (ISO Latin 2), and save it out in UTF-16, manually changing the extension to .stl.  The way to get that option in TextEdit is to go to Preferences, then Open and Save. Under 'Plain Text File Encoding' where it says 'Opening files', click on that tab.  If it's not one of the options, then select 'Customize Encoding List...' at the bottom of the list, which will open up a ton of other opions.  Check Central European (ISO Latin 2), and select it in the tab beside 'Opening files'.  Next time you open up a file in TextEdit, that will be the default for the 'Plain Text Encoding'.  When you do 'Save As', you'll need to change it to Unicode (UTF-16) and change the extension to .stl.
    That took me about 5 hours to figure out.
    Hope this helps someone else out.

  • I have just imported Iphoto library into aperture library, can I delete now the Iphoto Library ?

    Hi, I have juste imported Iphoto library into Aperture Library (did a copy) - can I delete my Iphoto library as I won't use Iphoto anymore ?
    Thanks Hélème

    Helene,
    Both of those things you pointed out are mere *metadata*.
    When you imported your iPhoto library, since you did a copy, your libraries are completely independent. 
    When I was in your situation, I moved my iPhoto library to an external disk and then went to the Aperture library to see how it behaved, even though i was 99.99% sure my iPhoto and Aperture libraries were separate.

  • How can i turn an iphoto slideshow into a book?

    I am wondering how I can turn an iphoto slideshow into a book?

    No - you can make a book from the same photos but not form the slide show - smiply elect the same photos (probably in the album you made the slide show from) and make a new book from them

  • Keynote '08: How to export an iPhoto slideshow into Keynote

    Is it possible to export an iphoto slideshow into keynote?
    Thanks!

    Answered my own question! Exported iPhoto slideshow to desktop - where it appeared as a .mov file -- then dragged & dropped that into Keynote. It plays there, photos & music exactly as designed in iPhoto - remote works to start and stop also! Perfect!

  • How do you burn iphoto slideshow to DVD?

    How do you burn iPhoto slideshow to DVD?  I exported to Quick Time & burned as movie but won't play on DVD player.

    If you want it to play on a domestic DVD player then the disk must be created in iDVD. The format of such a disk is quite specific and iDVD is the app the makes these formats.
    So, Share -> Send to iDVD
