IPhoto Slideshow Conversion m4v to mpeg2

I made a slideshow in iPhoto and I want to display it on my LCD Digital Photo Frame from Digital Spectrum Model MV-1040 and according to the manufacture I have to convert the m4v slideshow to mpeg2.
Is there an conversion program as part of the OS?
Are there any free programs that would let me convert the m4v movie to mpeg2?
Is there a way to compress a m4v slideshow to email for use by Windows Media Player for my none Mac friends who do not have QuickTime?
My 3 1/2 minute slideshow is 145megs and I want to share via email, any suggestions for getting down below 5mgs?

To do this you will be removing 97% of the data in the Slideshow, so don’t do it. Best thing is to upload the slideshow to a site like YouTube, Vimeo or Mobile Me, Usendit or many other rof the sharing site and then send folks a link.

Again, I strongly suggest that you forget about emailing. You’re slideshow will end up about the size of a postage stamp. Again, uploading to YouTube will make the whole issue of file formats entirely moot.
I know of no free m4v slideshow converter, but [flip4Mac|http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm] will convert the file for you.
You know, of course, that if you use the Custom option when you export that you can create a wide variety of formats? For others, try using [this|http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html]

  • Converting iPhoto slideshow to DVD

    I have created a slideshow in iPhoto consisting of appproximatly 150 images. I have used the ability to set the display time for each image to coordinate the images with the audio. Playing the resulting slideshow in iPhoto is great. I want to convert this slideshow to a DVD. Using the "Send to iDVD" option, the slideshow is first converted to a QuickTime .mov file and then automatically imported to a iDVD project, which is a nice feature. The problem is that during the conversion to QuickTime, the images and audio become 'out of sync'. Specifically the images progress slightly faster in QuickTime than in iPhoto. The slideshow, for my purposes, becomes degraded because of this anomaly. I am using the latest versions of iPhoto and QuickTime as of this writing (07/29/06).
    Is there a way to compensate for QuickTime changing the display times of the images? If not, are there third party software applications (Adobe?) that can take an iPhoto slideshow and convert to DVD without having to go through QuickTime?

  • Creating DVD from iPhoto Slideshow with music

    I'm trying to create a DVD of a slideshow with music that was created previously in iPhoto and then "Shared with iDVD". The .m4v file located in Pictures> iPhoto Slideshows is not accessible in iDVD. The only way I can make it work is to spend the hour or so required to start from scratch by clicking "Share with iDVD" from an open iPhoto slideshow, thus creating a .m4v file and then going directly to the iDVD menu that's automatically opened at the end of the "Share with iDVD" process. Any ideas?

    Welcome to the forums.
    When I'm going from iPhoto to iDVD with a slideshow, I get good results by Exporting from iPhoto to a large-sized Quicktime movie. I can preview the video and music, and if I'm happy, I can then just drop the Quicktime file onto the iDVD menu area (not into a drop zone, that's just eye candy). It's been a reliable process for me.

  • Importing iPhoto Slideshows

    Is there any way to import good quality iPhoto Slidewhos into iMoive? When I export a slidehow from iPhoto then import it to iMovie the quality is very bad. Whne I export from iPhoto the quality setting is set at highest. Also when I try to simply export the slideshow directly to iDVD, the qalit is still not as good as if I was playing it from iPhoto. Please help.

    The iPhoto slideshow displays a collection of photos, not video. It's essentially showing one photo after another, which by definition looks great. (iPhoto is smart enough to add transitions and the Ken Burns effect as the photos are displayed.)
    When you export that iPhoto slideshow to QuickTime, the Mac creates a movie. Each photo is re-sized to fit the frame size of the movie, and the photos are converted to video that plays 30 frames per second — instead of one photo for 5 seconds, then another for 5 seconds. The movie has a smaller frame size. And since the image has been converted to another format, doesn't have the quality of the original.
    When you import that slideshow to iMovie, iMovie may have to convert the video again, depending on the type of iMovie project it is.
    When iDVD burns a DVD it does pretty much the same thing. It converts the iPhoto images to an MPEG-2 movie that can be played on a TV via a DVD player.
    These conversions all have to do with preparing the slideshow to play on a TV. The display resolution of the TV is the controlling factor.
    If playing on a TV is NOT your goal, you have other options. You can export the iPhoto photos to a large-frame QuickTime movie, for example. That export option is not offered for an iPhoto slideshow, unfortunately, but it is offered for a collection of photos. The exported movie can be set to play each photo for 5 seconds, for example. You can even import that movie to iMovie (which will, of course, convert it to DV.)

  • Quicktime iPhoto Slideshow to iPod

    Took iPhoto slideshow and exported it to iDVD. In the process it creates a Quicktime movie which can be moved to iTunes video and played. But when iPod is connected it says it cannot load it. Message suggests I convert format for iPod but only conversion option I can find is to convert to ACC, which I tried but it said file was protected. I'm a fairly green user and can't understand why a file create by iPhoto which can be used in iTunes cannot be accepted by iPod.
    Any help out there?

    If you want to sync the slideshow as a movie, it must conform to an iPod compatible movie format -- i.e., either MPEG-4/AAC or H.264/AAC format. To do this, simply select the file in question and use the "Convert Selection for iPod" option under either the advanced menu or the right-click contextual menu.

  • View iPhoto slideshows on SmartTV

    I exported an iPhoto 9.5.1 slideshow as a .m4V file (the only possible option that I know about) to a flash drive and tried plugging the flash drive in to the USB port on a friend’s Smart TV hoping that I could view the slideshow.  The flash drive was recognized, but slideshow file was not visible in the file menu.  Is there a way to export an iPhoto slideshow into a file format that is more likely to be compatible with today’s Smart TVs? 
    Or how else do I share an iPhoto slide show?

    Contact support for the TV - iphoto will export a QuickTime Movie - maybe the TV can play that, maybe not - only the TV support can say what the TV needs

  • IPhoto slideshow using mini-dvi to video adapter

    When using the mini-dvi to video adapter to connect to my widescreen tv (via composite), to show iPhoto slideshows, the transistions between slides dont apear and there are no ken burns effects. The slideshow runs fine on my MacBook display (ie when not conected to the tv), and the is no other distortion or flickering (as reported in other threads), this seems odd to me or is it just a limitation of analogue output.

    It means that the issue resides in your existing Library.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • ITunes No Longer Working With iPhoto Slideshow

    I'm not certain, but as I can no longer play music from my iTunes Library along with an iPhoto Slideshow, I think this is related to the new 7.7 iTunes update.
    My iPhoto by the way, is the last version - 6.0.6.
    Has anyone else noticed a new-found inability to have songs in your iTunes Library accompany an iPhoto Slideshow? And better still - how can this be fixed?
    Thanks kindly,
    john

    I just discovered that after the iTunes update and the Lion update, my iTunes wouldn't update anything except what was in the library already.  New songs, apps, movies all equaled bupkiss.  I went into advanced settings and saw that my library location was blank.  I'm using an external drive for my music.  So there's a bug, since it would play everything thing in the library but was unsure where the library was so that it could write to it.  I just relocated my media drive and now sharing and updating the library works fine. 

  • Iphoto slideshow on tv

    I'm trying to watch an iphoto slideshow on my tv. so I bought a "mini-dvi to video adapter" but when I connect it to my tv via the video connector (yellow) all I see is my wallpaper and nothing else, no mouse pointer movement, files opening or anything else, just my wallpaper, I can't see my iphoto slideshow either. any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

    Try hooking up the MacBook to the TV with the MacBook off and then boot it up. Also with the TV connected to the MacBook go into the System Preferences/Monitors pane. There should be an option to set the monitor and TV. Don't remember exactly what it looks like as it only comes up if there's an external monitor or projector connected. There may be a setting that needs to be changed.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    how can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    Here's a possible workaround:
    Create the slideshow in Iphoto and add a theme and music.
    Install Picasa  and it will include the slideshow on it's indexed list.
    Upload the slideshow to PicasaWebAlbums and send the link to anyone you wish.
    The music and theme is preserved.
    Caveat: My playback pictures appear darker than usual but that could be just lousy photography...:)

  • Will  an iPhoto slideshow with music work on all computers in China?

    I am making a promotional DVD for an education program in the US, and taking it to China to education fairs. If it is an iPhoto slideshow with music, will it work on all Chinese computers? I assume so, because since it is not video, I should not have to worry about different formats-right? I've got enough to worry about on this trip!
    Prof. Fisher

    On every single computer in China? Impossible to tell. But if you create a slideshow in iPhoto and send it to iDVD to be burned to a DVD then it will play on anything that plays DVD.

  • Is there any way to get 720x576 (ie DV Pal)  from iphoto slideshow?

    I have tried the iphoto forum and have been directed here. Is there any way to get 720x576 (ie DV Pal) for an export from iphoto slideshow? I want to export 200+ photos with random transitions and the ken burns effect. Imovie offers offers automatic ken burns effect via project properties but I can't find a way to add random transitions automaticcally. Is it possible? I want to add the exported file to a movie in Final Cut Studio. Normally I have to resort to using adobe photoshop elements 5 and premiere elements 3 on my bootcamp partition. I would love to do this all in Mac OSX - since leaving Windows, this is the only thing that forces me to use that lousy operating system!
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Not directly. But you can do it with a bit of external help. Create a slideshow project in iPhoto using the "Random" transitions and auto KBE you want. Then export the slideshow as a 640x480 MPEG4/AAC 30 fps full motion MOV file. Drop the file to MPEG Steamclip and select the "Export to DV" File menu option. The select the DV format, PAL standard, and aspect you want. (I would normally select the "Frame Blending" option in the main menu when going from 30 fps to 25 fps.)

  • I have a MacBook Air and recently downloaded the new operating system. Since that time, I am no longer able to access my personal ITunes library to add music to IPhoto slideshows.  I put I tunes library on my desktop, as suggested. How do I drag it?

    I have a MacBook Air and recently downloaded the new operating system, 10.10 OSX Yosemite. Since that time, I am no longer able to access my personal ITunes library to add music to IPhoto slideshows.  I put I tunes library on my desktop, as suggested. How do I drag it to the I Photo slideshow?

    That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
    Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots  and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • Apple TV no longer plays iPhoto slideshows (individually)

    I have been using AppleTV for a couple of years, primarily to play iPhoto slideshows to music on our TV's. With a recent update (either to Apple TV, iTines or iPhoto, not sure, but I think it changed after an Apple TV update) we can no longer watch our individual iPhoto slideshows (By individual slide shows, I mean we used to be able to choose what slide show or album we wanted to play with music on the Apple TV. i.e.: vacation slideshow, birthday slideshow, Christmas slideshow, etc...) Now when you select what photos you want to share in iTunes, I check those albums & slideshows I want available but some do not appear on Apple TV  and those that do appear are automatically combined (for example it will combine Vacation and Christams slideshows into one massive slide show and their is no way to select one or the other.) Until a month or two ago this was not the case. I know I can create slideshows and save them to iMovie/iTunes or burn to disc but I do not want to do that, I like keeping them in iPhoto so they can constantly be added to and altered, thats the fun of it!
    Any ideas or known fixes would be appriciated. I love how Apple is always changing things for the better, but every so often they update software and end up taking away features that I use! It can be frustrating!
    Thanks in adavnce for your help!

    I cannot figure out how to move or convert an existing 'slideshow' to an 'album'. (in the end, all I really need to do is move the pix from a given slideshow to an album so I can view it as a slide show on Apple TV) I don't mind if the slideshows are shuffled on the TV as long as I can keep each slide show seperate. I basically use my iPhoto slideshows as a drop off point so we can watch them on Aplle TV. I never really do much with them in iPhoto except add new photos to existing shows now and then, I had the slideshows set to shuffle on Apple TV anyway. If I could figure out how to convert each slide show to its own album that would probably work. (re-creating each slide show is not a good option since some of my family slideshows contain hundreds or in some cases over a thousand photos). I've tried dragging the slide show to "albums" catagory but that doesnt work.
    Thank you for the quick response!
