IPhoto 06 slideshow shared with iDVD 06

I have created a slideshow in iPhoto 06 and shared it with iDVD 06. I have shared the slideshow from iPhoto in 4:3 DVD TV and Widescreen to iDVD and saved as standard and widescreen. When I play the DVD in my DVD player it crops the pictures and titles (I have played on two different TV's and DVD players with the same result). What am I doing wrong?

  • Slideshow created with iphoto will not burn with idvd

    I cannot seem to burn dvd using idvd.  slideshow created with iphoto

    I'm having the same problem after upgrading to 10.3.9 and iphoto 4.0.3. Read below:
    Until recently I was running 10.1.5 using iphoto 2 to burn folders of photos within a library. After upgrading to 10.3.9 and iphoto 4.0.3 I get a message: “The burn to the ARCHOS MiniCDRW XS8432 drive failed. The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry.”
    Actually, I got another message before I installed patchburn 3.1.2. After installing patchburn 3.1.2 for 10.3.X, system profiler recognized my burner and says it is supported but the above message is displayed after the program has stopped the process.
    Toast Titanium 5.2.1 burns CD’s just fine but when a CD with an iphoto library is inserted into the CD-ROM the iphoto program will not recognize it. In other words, it won’t show up in iphoto as an iphoto library or anything for that matter. Maybe there’s a way to do this in Toast or maybe I need something else to make iphoto work with my burner.
    Can anybody help me? Thanks!

  • HT201177 I am trying to create home movies and each time there is no sound when I play back the disc. The sound is there when I play back in imovie and also after I've shared with idvd and played back. Not sure what else to do???

    I am trying to create home movies, and do not have sound on the final disc. The sound is there in imovie and after sharing to idvd. This has only happened a couple of times before and I have made a lot of movies. I have just gone through about 8 discs, all with no audio when I play them!!!

    You need to ask for support in the iMovie forum.

  • Quality reduction when sharing with iDVD

    Hi Everyone
    I'm new to iMovie 11.  This week I made my first short movie with a 720HD camera and I'm very pleased with the quality.  When I watch it on my iMac it's great and when I share it with iTunes and watch it on my home TV, using AppleTV, the picture is great as well.  However, when I share it using iDVD there is a fall off in video quality (with blocky text in title sequences) as I play the disc back through my DVD player and TV.  I've tried playing the disc back through a friend's DVD player and TV, but things are no better.
    Is this normal when sharing through iDVD or is there a setting I've overlooked?

    Hi
    As You see there are much to this - at least three levels as I get it
    1. DVD-standard 480i
    2. How it moves from iMovie to iDVD - Share to Media Browser and as Large
    3. Choise of video editor as
    iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - are not tools of choise as they discard every second line resulting in 240i quality
    I use
    • iMovie up to HD6 or
    • FinalCut any version
    as they deliver 480i not losing anything.
    Use High quality DVD - I use Verbatim DVD-R
    Burn at slower speed - I use x4 - to get less burn errors
    makes the DVD even better (plays on more Players)

  • Pixel dimensions on a slideshow burned with iDVD

    I used iPhoto to create a slideshow that I want to burn to DVD. I did nothing in iPhoto to adjust the pixel dimensions of my images; and they look great when viewed in iPhoto. When I used iDVD to burn the slideshow to a DVD, then viewed the slideshow from the DVD my images look flat and fuzzy compared to the same images viewed in iPhoto. My question is how come?
    Do I need to change a pixel-dimension setting or something in iDVD to get the same image quality as I have in iPhoto?
    This is the first time I've tried burning a slideshow to a DVD.
    Thanks
    Greg

    we hear this often on iDvd forums. It's because DVD's are low resolution devices essentially. Images ultimately wind up being about a third of a megapixel or 640x480 when compressed to fit on to DVD-R.
    The only way to get significantly better image quality is to use Blueray or HD Burners but as of yet most macs simply do not support this latest technology.
    In the meantime you may want to consider using an app like:

  • Exporting a slideshow made with iDVD into iMovie

    Is it possible to export a slideshow that was created using iDVD into iMovie 08 so it can be modified?
    Thank you.

    Think of the i-Apps (or more specifically iMovie and iDvd) as a candy bar. Essentially, iDvd is to iMovie what the candy wrapper is to a candy bar. It's simply the exterior packaging of the movie you made in iMovie (or whatever video app you choose to edit in).
    Hence iDvd was not designed to edit video content. We normally reserve this task of editing for the video app/s like iMovie, FCE, or FCP. Therefore, it's much easier (and sequential) to go from the other i-apps to iDvd than it is the other way around.
    In a word, No.
    We don't export slideshows from iDvd to iMovie.... At least not normally.
    But we do share/export QT content/movies from iMovie, iPhoto, GB, FCE, FCP, QT Pro, etc. to iDvd.

  • Can an iPhoto library be shared with Lightroom and capture one?

    Since Aperture is being replaced by … nothing, how can I access the same library with multiple editors?

    Neither iPhoto, Lightroom nor Capture One are editors. They are all database driven Photo Managers with non-destructive processing. There is no rational workflow that would use more than one of these apps, any more than it would make sense to write a novel in three different word processors at the same time.
    Pick the one that suits your needs - if you're coming from Aperture then forget iPhoto, it's much less capable and also being end-of-lifed. Pick between Lightroom and Capture One. Then google the options for migration from Aperture to the one you choose.

  • Can I my iPhoto library be shared with another account?

    Having just bought an iMac, I successfully transferred my iPhoto library on my iBook to it. However, the iMac will now serve as the hub for our pics and I'd like the library to be shared by another user of the same computer. I'd like both of us to be able to view and add to the same library.
    Any way this can be done?

    Hi Sugith,
    SHARING ONE IPHOTO LIBRARY BETWEEN USERS ON SAME MACHINE
    You can try one of these three methods:
    1- Use iPhoto Library Manager-the paid version
    The documentation page will give instructions on how it is done.
    2- Sharing one iPhoto library between several users on one machine
    3- Share an iPhoto Library in tiger Using ACL's
    4- I have also read about ShareAlike
    There is no other info on the site about how it works.
    I strongly urge anyone wanting to try any of the methods for sharing one iPhoto Library folder among more than one user to backup all iPhoto Library folders before attemptin anything.

  • Why does the latest version of iMovie not have an option of sharing with iDVD?

    How are you supposed to burn a DVD using the latest version of iMovie? I've always had the option to share to iDVD and now it's not there.

    It is there but you don't want to use it as it will degrade the quality of the movie.  Instead use the Share ➙ Media Browser option. 
    Then in iDVD go to the Media/Movies section and drag the movie into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones that may be there:

  • Unable to import IPhoto 6 slideshows to IDVD 6

    When I try to send a SLIDESHOW with captions and music prepared in iPhoto 6 to IDVD to burn to a DVD by choosing Share>Send to IDVD i get the following message "An error occured while exporting the slideshow, the export movie file could not be created". This is inconsistent with the statement in iDVD Help Tutorial "In iPhoto send SLIDESHOWS directly to iDVD to create a project with slideshow buttons". What am I doing wrong?

    you may be using a file format iDVD doesn't recognize (or you may have a corrupted image/file) hard to tell without seeing what you are currently working on. try the file again, or use a different image in it's place.
    if this too fails then drag and drop the plist for both apps to the trash (empty it) and restart the computer.
    com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    com.apple.iDvd.plist
    Use the Finder (happy face on the dock) plus copy and paste for the above items (individually) and hit return.
    In the event you see either item appear more than once, dispose of all of them.
    Good luck!

  • Imovie 11 - how can I shared to idvd a project that I modified and finalized for the second time?

    I finalized a project (iMovie 11), shared with iDVD just as a test. Then I came back to the project, included A LOT of things, finalized again and when I shared to iDVD i just show the first finalized project. How can I work with my hole project in iDVD?
    I tried to save as my project, but there is not this option.
    Please HELP me. The old iMovie was much better. :-(.
    Tks a lot
    Gil

    Try first sharing to Media Browser from iMovie in the Large Size.
    After it is finished, you should be able to see it in the Media browser on the iDVD side of things. Drag it into a new project and continue working in iDVD.

  • Audio problems sharing iphoto slideshow with iDVD

    I have created a slideshow of 200 photos and 4 random tracks from itunes.
    It plays fine in iphoto. When I share it with iDVD and a .mov file is created only the first Track of audio plays both in preview and from a disk image. The rest is silence. The slideshow is set to match the display time to the total audio and this remains the same. I've tried removing the encoding and the itunes helper plist. Any other thoughts?

    If you have Garage Band - make one track with the four songs/tracks and save in iTunes and use that track for iPhoto - just did that and worked great -

  • Iphoto 09 slideshow, music is not coming out when i export to idvd

    hello,
    I made a slideshow with about 500 pictures in iphoto 09. I aded music- several songs using a custom playlist. The music plays when i preview the slideshow in iphoto, but when i checked it after exporting (sharing to idvd) idvd the music does not play when i preview the slideshow before burning in idvd. I tried exporting a short slideshow and the music played back. Any suggestions?
    thanks

    Is any of the music purchased from the iTunes Store?

  • Why are my iphoto 11 slideshow pictures distorted in idvd?

    I want to create a dvd of my slideshow I created in iphoto 11.  I shared it with idvd and the pictures were distorted.  How can I fix this problem?  Thanks for any help.

    Hi
    A. I don't know - I don't do it like that. Lack of KnowHow.
    B. I do it by using either a video-editor or a dedicated program
    • iMovie HD6 or FinalCut any version
    • FotoMagico™
    I do not use - iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - as they discard every second line in export to iDVD (What evere way one take)
    To get as high quality possibly - read
    DVD quality
    1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
       iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (if movie + menu is > 60 minutes)
    • Best Performances (movies + menus  less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    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. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
    • iMovie’08 not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
    3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09  this can also be set)
    This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application.
    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).
    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)
    7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
    8. Don’t burn more than three DVD 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 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

  • Created sideshow in iPhoto shared with iTunes and now it will not finish when I try to burn it.

    Using Yosemite 10.10.1
    Created a slideshow in iPhoto shared with iTunes then created a DVD in iDVD and it plays in Quicktime in my MacBook Pro.
    What I'm trying to do is create a DVD that will play in a DVD Player on a TV Screen.
    When I try to burn to a DVD it is slow and then freezes in the final phase of burning. However, when I check the DVD nothing has burned. The disc is empty.
    Any ideas?

    Here's how to create a video DVD from a slideshow in iPhoto:
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  For iPhoto 9.5 and later select 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.
    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.
    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.
