ITunes Audio on Slideshow DVD

Tried to burn a dvd of a slideshow created originally in iPhoto that had audio I'd downloaded from iTunes. Got error message that audio would only play back on authorized machine. Is it even possible to use music downloaded from iTunes when burning a dvd from a slideshow, or am I limited to music that I own rather than license? Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.
iMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

Music you download from iTunes is in .m4p format and is recognized by the ilife apps as copyrighted. To get around this, burn the songs onto a CD and then "re-rip" them off of the CD back into itunes. This should remove the copyright tag and make them .mp3 and they should work. I have used this technique several times and it has always worked. Good luck.

  • Using music purchased from iTunes in a slideshow/DVD

    I purchased some music from iTunes to use for a slideshow that I am creating. I want to burn this slideshow to a DVD. Is this possible? I read in another forum that it was not. If this is correct, is there a way to work around this issue?

    Finding "a way to work around this issue" goes directly against the terms of usage for the forums in terms of discussing ways to get around copy protection methods.
    I would offer that my asking for a way to "work around" the problem may not have been the best choice of terms. It is one that is frequently used in other forums when users are discussing how to solve a problem. However, my intent was not to violate either copyright laws or the terms of use of this forum. Certainly it would be very foolish indeed to ask how to do so in a discussions site operated by the same company that produces the software in question!
    The DVD I am working on is for personal use, a slideshow of a family vacation. I purchased the music from iTunes to use in the DVD. I am aware that I can burn several CD's (5?) for each song I buy. I concluded, perhaps incorrectly, that this DVD would constitute one of the allowed burns.
    Copyrighted music is handled differently depending on which iLife application is being used. With Garageband, it is impossible to import DRM music into the program; any editing is obviously out of the question. Yet, the same musical selection can be imported into iMovie, and it is also possible to edit it.
    Perhaps my question should be: Do I have to follow any special procedure when burning a DVD that contains music purchased from iTunes? I remember seeing something about this some time ago; I have not been able to find that post. I was hoping to get the answer in this forum.

  • Ripping Audio from a DVD to iTunes

    Does anyone know a simple way to rip the audio from a DVD to an mp3 for use in iTunes? I have some stand-up DVD's that i would like to listen to when I want.

    You have to extract/demux the audio portion from DVDs using a tool like MPEG Streamclip http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-win.html
    As most commercial DVDs come CSS encrypted in this case you have to use a so called Ripper to copy the DVD's content first to your HD.

  • Can I import just the audio from a DVD into itunes????

    I'm a beginner to this Itunes and have been wondering this. If I can take audio files off of CDs and put them into Itunes. Can I take just audio from a DVD and put that into Itunes. Example: Can I take the audio from a live concert DVD for just one song?

    Welcome, Don, to the Apple Discussions!
    No, you can't do that with iTunes.
    There is third-party software available that allows you to do so, though.
    You might want to pay a visit to Google and enter
    b dvd audio ripping
    or some such terms.
    Good Luck!

  • I just created a slideshow dvd in imovie, and when I hit finalize it said that it would take 7 hours to finalize.  I've only had my macbook pro for 6 months, and this is the first imovie I've done...is this normal?  If not how can I speed up this process?

    Hi
    Time needed can depend on several things.
    • less than 5 GB free space on Start-up (Mac OS) hard disk = Redicolous long times AND a DVD that most probably will not work OK
    Medicine - I never go under 25GB free space
    • Use of strange file formats into iDVD - can force it to de-code first then re-encode - this can take long long times
    I use
    Video - StreamingDV as from miniDV tape Cameras - or QuickTime Movies Converted to StreamingDV
    Audio - .aiff 16-bit 48 kHz - (no .mp3, .wma etc)
    • Use of old Mac - My G4 600MHz took about 24 hour per hour movie. my dG5 - about 2 hours per hour (I use Pro Quality encoding)
    • Pro Quality encoding - takes about x2 to process a movie

  • Ripping audio from a DVD - Any ideas for Macs

    Hi
    I found a nice and simple piece of software from www.imtoo.com which can rip the audio out of a DVD and save it as an audio file for import to iPod. For a whole bunhc of reasons I'd rather have just the audio from films and comedy shows than the whole video.
    Oddly this was listed in MacWorld, but they don't do an Apple Mac version. I am after a one stop solution if anyone knows of one - guess there must be as the IMTOO product works so elegantly, am sure someone has done this for the Mac.
    Cheers
    Sammy

    I am not aware of any tool for the Mac that can rip audio from a DVD-A (audio only) disk.
    I am also not aware of any 1 step tool for ripping the audio from ordinary DVD video disks.
    The approach I took when I did this involved using MacTheRipper to copy to a hard disk, another tool to extract the audio, and then if I remember correctly, I used QuickTime to save the tracks as individual files (with the correct track lengths are listed on the cover). I was then able to burn the results files to a CD (audio format), and incredibly the resulting CD was recognised by iTunes (and Gracenote CDDB) with the correct tracks names etc. (The DVD was of a concert.)
    This as you can tell was not a simple one step operation, it took most of an afternoon trying various tools.

  • Importing Audio from a DVD Concert

    I want to import the audio from a DVD concet into iTunes.
    I've tried MactheRipper and MAC3dec to do the conversion but the main concert file was 1 hour and 15 minutes long and it only imported the intro which lasted about 45 seconds.
    What I'd really like to do is import the entire concert then cut it up into songs to import into iTunes.
    So my questions are:
    1. How do start with a 1.3 hour audio file on DVD and end up with 16 song files in my iTunes library?
    2. Is it possible to do this with AudioHijack or a similar program?

    The software is capable of extracting audio only at the chapter level. Using a DVD I mastered myself, I can use the Mode button, then select Title - Chapter Extraction, click the D button, and then the Streams button becomes active. Clicking that opens a drawer where all the various audio tracks are available, and they can be extracted one at a time using the SChpt and EChpt drop-down lists.
    Again, please be sure that whatever you're doing with a DVD is legal in your own case. I am not suggesting that you use any particular software for any particular purpose, but just explaining how to navigate through a confusing interface in a program you already seem to have.
    EDIT: I've read through your posts again, and you mentioned that you bought the DVD. Of course I can't be sure about this, but if it's a commercial DVD, it is most likely encrypted. In that case, you really must be sure that you have the right to extract audio tracks from the disc (or even to use the software in question)--even though you're not "copying" the disc by working only with the audio portion, it may be the case that even the audio on the disc is protected in some way by copyright. So, I can't emphasize enough that I in no way am encouraging you to do anything outside the scope of fair and legitimate use of your DVD product.

  • How to make a slideshow dvd with numerous song clips

    I am trying to make a slideshow dvd with different photo fades and different song bits per photo group seemlessly. I know it can be done with iphoto and itunes, but I cant get it done. Any suggestions?

    Hello,
    I'm puzzled by the suggested procedures.
    First, I personally prefer to use iPhoto to compose my slideshow: iPhoto simplifies the workflow of creating the slideshow and managing the transitions between each images (Ken Burns effects); iMovie always creates the same default KB effect, while iPhoto randomizes it and still allows for manual adjustments. I don't add music to the iPhoto slideshows.
    Then, I export to iDVD each slideshow (Share / Send iDVD) to only get from my Movies folder (~/Movies/) the generated clip (MPEG4 720x540). iPhoto only proposes to "export" in 640x480, which is bad because too far from DV format.
    Then, after I collect all my .mov files, and I trashed each DVD projects created in the process, I import to iMovie all the .mov files. iMovie "converts" each clip to 768x576 DV.
    I'm able now to use iMovie to add the soundtrack. When done, I add my chapters and export the iMovie project again to iDVD. Of course, this time I complete the DVD project and burn a disc.
    The method I've exposed here helps me a lot because I use each application at what it's best. But, it's all not straightforward.
    --> And I don't understand WHY iPhoto does NOT export to iDVD directly in 768x576 DV format.
    Can someone help/correct here ?
    Thanks,
    Thierry

  • Problems Creating Slideshow DVD using PSE 8.0

    I have created a slideshow DVD in the past without problems. I have recently created a new slideshow of photos along with audio. It previews just fine in both PSE and Windows Movie Maker, but after I burned the DVD, only one song plays back when the DVD is in the TV.
    Any suggestions?

    Unless you have the combine programs Photoshop Elements & Premier Elements; there are limitations.
    If you have other software; it’s possible to combine multiple tracks or play lists ant then attach them as a single file in the slideshow editor.
     

  • No Audio in Slideshow Disk Image

    I've created a slideshow using iDVD '09 from some photos in iPhoto and an audio clip that I created using Garageband '09.  Both the audio and video play o.k. from the dvd project file and when I burn the show to a DVD.  However, when I create a disk image and then burn a DVD from the image, there is no audio on the DVD and the audio file in the disk image is empty.  I've repaired permissions and all that stuff.  Can someone tell me what is going on?

    Your post doesn't say how you "pulled" your iPhoto slideshow into iDVD.
    I suggest that you try opening your slideshow in iPhoto, and then FILE>Export the slideshow to your desk top. It will appear there as a QuickTime movie. Click on it to see if it plays your slideshow with audio. If it does, close it, and open your iDVD project. In the iDVD window, click on the plus emblem in the lower left of the screen, and in the resulting menu, click on Add Movie. A button box will appear on the iDVD menu. Drag your QT movie slideshow into that box. Then see if it plays with audio in your iDVD project.
    Other than that, I notice that common advice on this forum is to recommend closing iDVD, then trashing the com.apple.iDVD.plist file that is found in your
    user/library/preferences folder, and then opening iDVD to see if your slide show now plays audio. Repairing permissions using Disk Utility is another commonly recommended action.
    I'm not a tech person, so maybe others on this forum will have better advice.
    Good luck.

  • What's the simplest way to edit the audio on a DVD using a Mac?

    I appreciate you taking the time to read/respond to this post.
    Here's the deal:
    My church records its service on DVDs to pass out to members.  This past weekend an annoying, high-pitch hum found it's way on to our DVD.  We also record audio versions of our service to pass out on CDs, and (scratching my head) this week's CD turned out just fine, no hum.
    Is there an easy way to detach the "bad" audio from the DVD and replace it with the good "audio" from the CD?  I know I could do what I want using iMovie, but every time I do something like this using that program, the picture quality on my new DVD looks worst than the original, plus it takes a ton of time converting and reauthoring.
    Your help and suggestions are most appreciated.

    I've never really used IMovie cause I have Final Cut, but I'm surprised its degrading your video , This makes me wonder what format your movies are in , are they .dv ( digital video ) ?
    You may even take a look at your burn settings in IDVD , I cant think of anything else outside of video editing software that will do what you are trying to do, in short its your only real option..  

  • ITunes audio lag

    I recently bought a new computer (less than a month and a half ago), running Windows 8, and installed the latest version of iTunes and Quicktime (iTunes 11.1 and Quicktime 7.7).  My computer is hooked up to a small HD TV monitor using an HDMI cable.  I bought an HD movie throught the iTunes store yesterday, and played it through iTunes.  However, the audio and video will quickly become out of sync, usually within about 15 seconds.  I have updated my NVIDIA disply driver and also my audio driver (IDT audio driver), to no avail.  I have also made sure that my computer audio playback is set at 16 bit/44.100 hz, and that iTunes audio playback is also set at 16 bit/44.100 hz.  No of this has helped.  I will play the video, and within 10-15 seconds the audio is lagging horribly behind the video.
    I have also tried to play the movie in Quicktime by clicking on the movie in iTunes, showing the movie in windows explorer, and then clicking open with Quicktime.  However, when Quicktime opens, it just sits on a grey screen.  I click play, and the timer for the movie starts, but the screen just stays grey the whole time.  My Quicktime audio playback is also set at 16 bit/44.100 hz, for what its worth. 
    I have literally spent an entire day trying to look up a solution for this problem, and have found absolutely nothing that has helped.  If ANYONE has an idea of what I can do to alleviate this problem, please let me know.  I am at a total loss to figure this out.  I am somewhat familiar with computers, enough to run through some basic fixes, but I am by no means a computer whiz.  I have also contacted Apple about this problem, and got back the typical response of "update my drivers etc etc etc."  It seems like nothing on the Apple website has instructions for possible remedies to this for Windows 8, so as I said I am at a total loss.  ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!!!

    demand a refund, I had this same problem 6 months ago...gave them another shot recently and apple still hasn't fixed the problem

    It considered the computer pretty acceptable when it took my money for the title. I think I have been ripped off.
    THis whole SYNC is an innecessay step. Why can't I just download stuff to my iPod (from any sourch by the way) and delete it from my iPod when I don't want it any more.

    Hello LeaMinovitch,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
    You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
    Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
    If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still authorize your computer.
    In some cases, iTunes may ask you to authorize the computer again. iTunes should use the same authorization as before if the computer is in your list of authorized computers.
    Learn what to do if iTunes repeatedly asks you to authorize when you try to play your content.

  • Extract audio from a DVD how to

    Is there a FREE and ease way to extract audio from a DVD?
    Thank you

    Set a tape recorder next to your speaker? Seriously, though - what kind of DVD? If it's a commercial DVD, it's copyright protected and people here shouldn't give you advice on how to do it. There are other places besides Apple's discussion forums to get that kind of info, and I don't see why this question belongs in "Using Mac OSX Leopard" in the first place.
