IPhoto Slideshow to iDVD - Audio problem
I created a slideshow in iPhoto and added music from iTunes. The slidewhow is about 40 minutes long and I set the length of the slideshow to match the music (about 10 songs). I shred the show from iPhoto to iDVD using the Share option. When I preview the slideshow in iDVD there is only 1 or 2 songs of audio depending on the time I shared it (I tried a few times). The slideshow keeps running, but with no audio. Any help is appreciated.

You can get the songs you rip from your CD to export into iTunes by the following:
1. iTunes - Pref - Advanced - Import. Change import using to MP3.
Now all new songs you rip from CD will export with iPhoto
To correct those songs already in iTunes so they will export, do the following:
1. highlight song in iTunes Library
2. Toolbar go to Advanced - Click Convert Selection to MP3
3.Now you will have a duplicate of that song in your library. The one just added that you converted, add MP3 to title
4.Use MP3 song in your slide show.
5. Audio should export with photos.

Suddenly i can't export iPhoto slideshows to iDVD after upgrading to 10.8.2 I get the message "CouldNotCreateTmpDir" What do i do to overcome this problem? I've been making slideshows for ages using iPhoto and iDVD and it's suddenly stopped. Urgent help needed.
Are you saying that you cannot export a slideshow from iPhoto to the Desktop and then drag it from the Desktop (or the Movie frolder where it can be stored) into an open iDVD menu window?
Export the slideshow at the large or medium size:
They drag the movie file into the open iDVD window. NOTE: do not move the movie file once it's been added to iDVD. That's why it should be placed in folder where you intend to keep it permanently or at least until the iDVD project is completed and burned to a disk image and then to disk.

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: hherbYou 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�
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�

Does anyone know if this is possible to import an iPhoto Slideshow into iDVD?
Yes you can do this 2 ways (that I know of)
1) Open iPhoto
2) Select the slideshow in the Source Pane
3a) From the File menu select Export. This will export it as a movie (to be imported from iMovie or iDVD.
3b) From the Share menu, Select Send to iDVD.
Hope this helps. -

Problem sharing iPhoto slideshow to iDVD
Hi,
I'm using iPhoto 11 and have made a themed slideshow with music. There seems to be changes in the theme being made when I "share" it to iDVD 7.1.2. Minor stuff but really annoying. Things like the a page of photos changing from the theme of vintage paper to black surrounds, and putting in a fake postcard image.
I have previously done the same slideshow to iDVD (minus about 5 photos) and it worked brilliantly.
I've closed down iPhoto, restarted the computer and "shared" it to iDVD about 5 times and the same thing happens.
This is for my mother's funeral in a couple of days and I want it to be perfect.
Does anyone have an idea of what the problem is or a workaround?
thanks
CarolTry exporting the movie to the Desktop at the large size
and check the slideshow to see if it keeps the correct theme. If it does you then open iDVD, select a theme and add the movie to the menu being careful to avoid any drop zones.
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 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.

IPhoto slideshow in iDVD project
I have some questions on problems creating a iDVD project of an iPhoto slideshow:
1. Is it possible (how ?) to create buttons for scene selections, as in iMovie ?
My project contains one continuous slideshow (942 still pictures) which I want to divide in
chapters relating to the varuous trips I made during one travel.
If not in iDVD: has this breaking up of a single iPhoto slideshow be done in iMovie or iPhoto itself,
or by way of creating a 'Magic iDVD' ?
2. Can audio be imported with different sound clips ?
As for now my audio clip (3 min) repeats itself endlessly till the end of the project (48 min), and I
want to use various songs out of my iTunes library.
3. For a slideshow with its speed matched to the lenght of an audio clip, 10 seconds seems to be
the longest duration for one single picture. Can this be lengthened ?.
In my actual project, 10 seconds for each picture in combination with a cross dissolve seems
to work too fast in my slideshow.
I expected this transition to be added to their duration; instead it seems to take seconds away
from the linked stills.
If all these problems can't be adressed in iDVD 6: is iDVD 8 the better option ?To get the versatility that you want, and because this is a complex project for iPhoto, I suggest that you bring iMovie into the work flow.
I would create a separate iPhoto slideshow for each segment of your trip (eg. Italy, France, etc.)
Then export each slideshow to your desktop as a High Quality Quicktime movie. There will be no loss of quality. Then create an iMovie project, and drag each Quicktime movie into the project. You can add your audio in iMovie, as well as chapter markers. Then save and close, and drag the iMovie icon (the one with the star on it) into an iDVD project. Just drag it to the edge of the iDVD display menu so it doesn't fall into a drop zone. Then save your iDVD project as a Disk Image (an option from the File menu). This will take awhile because all the encoding will be done as if you were burning a disk. To play the disk image, double click on its icon, and then open the DVD Player app on your Mac. Make sure it plays O.K. Then close it, and open the Utilities/Disk Utility app on your Mac. If it's not already in there, drag your disk image icon into the left side display panel in the Disk Utility Window. Then insert a DVD-R disk into your drive and hit Burn. The burning process will be fairly quick because all the encoding already was done when you created the disk image.
As far as I am aware, you cannot extend the length of a photo in an iPhoto slideshow beyond what the settings will allow you to do. If you want to go beyond that, I would suggest creating your slideshow in iMovie where you can display the photos for as long a duration as you want. In my opinion, 10 seconds duration for a photo is way too long, particularly when you have 942 still pictures. Whew! I would keep it to 5 seconds at most. You can always use the remote pause button of your DVD player if you want to display to your viewers a particular photo for a longer time.
In an iPhoto slide show you can import different audio with different sound clips. Go to iTunes and make up an album of the songs that you want to play in your slide show. Then, when you select your music from the media pane in your iPhoto slide show, select the album that you created, and the slide show will play those songs in succession as your slide show runs.
The cross dissolve transition will shorten the display duration of the photo on each side of it, and thus shorten the overall display time of the slideshow. The overlap transition will not shorten the overall time display.
I hope this helps. Good luck with your project/. -
Exporting to iphoto slideshow to idvd
I created a slideshow in iPhoto with the following conditions:
120 images
All images were cropped to 4:3 DVD
I have used the "Ken Burns Effect" on all images
I have included audio from iTunes (playlist with 6 songs)
When exporting to iDVD, the process or status meter completes and then I get a message that the export failed.
When trying to save it as a Quicktime Movie (I have the latest updates and also have Quicktime Pro)it does exactly the same thing, it fails.
Is there a limited amount of pictures you can have in a slideshow? The slideshow plays great in iPhoto, but I want the Ken Burns effect to add some professionalism to the slideshow.
I also used iDVD to create the slideshow and I used a theme and it burned perfectly to a DVD, but with iDVD you do not have the option to use the Ken Burns effect.
I can use iMovie, but I am not thrilled about adding 120+ transitions one-at-a-time and redoing the Ken Burns effects.
Thanks for your help, this is for my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary this Saturday (9 Dec) and I hope you can understand my reasoning to get this done soon.
IMAC 20" Mac OS X (10.4.8)wolf58:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There is no limit to the number of slides you can have in an iPhoto slideshow. Try again and then check the Console logs to see what it says about iPhoto or Quicktime and post back. Also how much free space do you have on your boot drive?
I'd doing the same for a memorial service next Saturday and if I have problems with export as you are I'll opt to create the entire slideshow in iDVD. The only downside is that you can't have any KB effect nor more than one type of transition. But you can have titles and subtitles on slides if desired.
One thing to check if you get the export to work is the music sync. There are reports of it not syncing as it should. If you run into that, take the movie file that iPhoto created and saved in your Movies folder and import into iMovie. Select the video track and under the Advanced menu choose the extract audio option. Delete it and add your music again to iMovie and then export to iDVD from iMovie. That will assure good music sync. I plan to not add the music at the iPhoto stage but later in iMovie.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application, 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar -

IPhoto slideshow to iDVD gives poor movie quality
Hello,
I would like to take an iPhoto 08 slideshow and turn it into a DVD disc.
iPhoto's feature: "Share > Send to iDVD" is really great, except that it converts my slideshow to a compressed QuickTime .mov file.
I really, really do not like what the QuickTime compression is doing to my image quality.
I seem to recall that iPhoto was once able to export as an uncompressed .DV file. But I can no longer find that feature or workaround.
Does anyone know of a way to turn an iPhoto slideshow into a .DV file? Or, at least some kind of video file that iDVD will recognize and which does not use compression (like AVI or something?).
Thanks in advance!Another 3rd party slideshow application with many export options is PhotoPresenter. It has Full Quality option for exporting which is 768 x 576. It also has over 25 animated themes. This demo page has examples of some of them.

Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle.

Iphoto slideshow to idvd: quality & burning issues...
I've made a few slideshows in iphoto due to the Ken Burns effect and also the ability to choose full screen or widescreen. I made DVDs for friends with full and myself with wide for my widescreen- and that works fine.
My question is about the quality of the movies. Obviously a substantial loss of quality from viewing the show in iPhoto on my Powerbook...
Is there a better way to do this with better results? Using iMovie? (Never have used that app before..) Each show has 100-250 slides and I choose a music playlist from iTunes. I am a quality freak and looking the uncrisp images isn't too thrilling.
(Even when playing the disk image in the DVD Player on my Powerbook and comparing with the original project file- it's a little more fuzzy.)
Also, I just got an external Lacie burner (I have combo drive) and have much unsuccess with burning. I have repaired permissions and create as a disk image in iDVD. It plays back great from the disk image in DVD Player on Powerbook. This specific movie is 2.4 GB and I have 10.1 free dis space.
Problems: (tried with 2 or 3 different movies)
*Disk Utility will not burn the image. It begins and then stops and says there are errors (not specific)...
*iDVD goes through 4 or 5 steps and right at the end says "Errors during burning"
(I was also getting a multiplexing error, but I freed up some space and didn't get that last time)
*TOAST- Using the DVD-Video from Video-TS (as recommended on various boards) does not work. It finishes but won't verify and nothing plays...
*TOAST- using DVD-Video: The menu made in iDVD isn't functional. Can't choose different slideshows... Won't highlight, etc...
*TOAST- using "Data" DVD-ROM (UDF):
THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT HAS WORKED AND PROJECTS ARE ABLE TO BE VERIFIED. MENUS ARE FUNCTIONAL IN MY 2 DVD PLAYERS...
I have the newest versions of Toast and iPhoto and iDVD. It's been very frustrating. Can't figure out why iDVD and Disk Utility won't burn... and TOAST only works using "Data" instead of Video... My Powerbook is a 60 GB 12" G4 1.33 model. I'm so tempted to upgrade to a bigger hard drive and a Superdrive but I don't know if that will help anything.
Thanks for listening!Video DVDs are 720X480 (NTSC). Much lower resolution than straight iPhoto slideshows and your original photos. Nothing you can do about this until either HD-DVD or Blu-Ray technology come to the market and are affordable.
iMovie will not be better resolution after it is sent to DVD. You could export to HD resolution QT files (H.264, etc.) and play those on computers with QT and keep higher resolution. But those won't play with commercial DVD players.
Disk Utility will not burn the image.
Can you verify the mounted image with Disk Utility?
Can you burn other data DVDs with the finder and with Toast succesfully?
You should be able to use both the Video_TS drag into DVD-Video for Toast and the direct image burn in Toast, as well as Disk Utility. I wonder if there is an error in the image, so see if you can verify the mounted image with DU.

IPhoto slideshow vs iDVD slideshow
Can a slideshow in iPhoto be added to iDVD?
In iDVD when I select "add slideshow", it only lets you create a new slideshow.
Not add an existing one.If you create the slideshow in iDVD you can add to it at any time via the Media Browser. Since you're creating the slideshow in iPhoto and sending it to iDVD a Quicktime movie file is created of the slideshow and that is added to iDVD.
If you want to join the existing QT movie slideshow with a new QT movie slideshow open both in Quicktime Player and do the following:
1 - click on slideshow A, type Command+A (select all) and Command+C (copy).
2 - click on slideshow B, place the cursor at the end of the slideshow and type Command+P (paste).
3 - Do a Save As and select the self contained movie option.
Any iPhoto slideshow that is sent to iDVD via the Share->iDVDE menu option will have the file saved to the Movies folder.
If the problem is you can't get the new slideshow added to an existing iDVD project just quit the new iDVD project that is created, located the new slideshow QT file in your Movies folder and add it manually to your existing iDVD project.

Sharing iPhoto slideshow using iDVD
After spending a painstaking amount of time, getting everything just perfect in my iPhoto slideshow, then using Sharing to export to iDVD, my sound and slideshow no longer line up.The slideshow now ends and the song gets cut off. I have even tried adding extra time to my slideshow and make other adjustments, but having to export takes time and I need it to end up the way I made it. This is only a 57 image, one song (4:08 min), slideshow. It goes off without a hitch in iPhoto. I have adjusted every frame for effects (no prepackaged iPhoto stuff) and duration. Any help here would be appreciated.

Mac OS X (10.4.6)Eventually, I want to integrate my .jpg pictures with music ( assume MP3) together to be seen and heard on a server. Is there a way I can accomlish this?
Have not tried to do that.
In iPhoto 6 there is a thing called Photocast. That might work. I don't use iPhoto, so I'm not much help there. You should visit the iPhoto 6 group.
but I can not create a successful DVD to distribute to famiy members. What am I doing wrong?
Apparently you are doing something wrong. I do that all the time.
