Keynote Interactive DVD

After doing some research I have discovered that Keynote does not have the ability to export a file where it can be used as an interactive DVD (strange this feature does not exist).
Anyway, I have been finding some application that are more like a DVD authoring tool. I have even found application that will take a Powerpoint presentation and convert them into a interactive dvd so that all hyperlinks would be DVD menus and submenus.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to locate one that will do the same for Keynote. I was wondering if anyone has used any Mac application that will perform the type of tasks that I am looking to complete?
I have a presentation on Keynote that I want to put on DVD but have it retain it's interactive features. So far, I have had no luck in trying to accomplish this. It doesn't seem like this would be too much to do. I don't know why Keynote does not have this feature built in.
Thanks in advance

May I join in your club. Although we can export to QT or power point it always looses a lot. I would like to be able to export to a dvd. But let's not forget the primary objective of keynote and the amazing prive we pay for it.

Creating an interactive DVD from a Keynote presentation

Does anyone know how to create an interactive DVD from a Keynote Presentation?
I tried the export to Quicktime option, and then brought that QT movie into iDVD. The problem is that the interactive pauses between slides that I get with the QT version, isn't there in iDVD. The transitions turn into chapters, and when you play the DVD, one chapter goes right into another.
I'm sure someone has dealt with this before.

I should make something clear here...
Be careful with terminiology. WIth Keynote 3 you can create a linear DVD, that works the same way a show in Keynote works if you plan to move through the show in the order you built it (complete with all the builds). What it does NOT appear to do is allow you to make a non linear DVD, which is, if you put a button/hyperlink on a slide, it won't work in the DVD. See my other thread about this for the reason why. I'm praying the next version of DVD Studio Pro will read iDVD projects, which would allow us to customize what Apple creates for us automatically.

How do I make interactive DVD/Blu-Ray menus with motion?

So, adobe doesn't support Encore anymore which means I can't use dynamic link to AE to create interactive DVD/Blu-Ray menus with motion.... or can I? Is there something I'm doing wrong? While in Encore, I go to dynamic link and boom, dynamic link to AE is not highlighted. If I can't make an interactive menu with motion using adobe, then what can I use? This is causing a major problem for me and my clients. (if i over looked the answer to this in another post, my apologies)

You can use the "Create After Effects Composition." This prompts you to create an independent version of the Encore PSD menu file, and opens the layered file in AE CC and creates a new composition with appropriate settings. AE no longer has mpeg export, so you export from AE to AME.
There were some workflow options that I did not play with much, but they were never what I saw as the basics for using AE to create the motion background.
You need to understand these two help pages:
Adobe Encore * Menu timing and looping

I'm not sure what you mean by "interactive" unless you just mean creating navigation.

IBooks Author and Keynote Interactives

I have many keynote interactives but when I preview my book on the IPad most if not all of the keynote interactives have been duplicated accross several figures.
For example I have Figure 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3. I have associated(both drag and drop and the file chooser) key note presentations Figure 5.1, Figure 5.2 and Figure 5.3 in IBooks Author.
When I go to preview the book, both as a whole as as a section, Figure 5.1 is showing my Figure 5.1, Figure 5.2 is showing Figure 5.1(wrong) and Figure 5.3 is also showing Figure 5.1 (wrong).
I go back into IBooks and everything is associated correctly?
So I have not idea why it is doing this other than my book template is completely screwed up.
Any ideas?
Scott L.

Thanks apple support helped me resolve this.
It would seem that IBook Author cannot tell the difference between files that have similar names.
For example it can't tell the different between Interactive 1.1 and Interactive 1.2 the names are too similar.
What the heck, the previous versions of IBook Author were 10 times better than this.

Creating interactive DVD from HTML

I want to create interactive DVDs from html. The end product will be a website stored and browsable on the DVD using the remote control to navigate the menus. Can I do this with Encore?

No

Porting/converting an interactive DVD to Flash/SWF/FLV?

Is it possible to make a complete mirror port or conversion of an existing interactive DVD to Flash (swf+flv) so that I can put it online and interact with it with my mouse through a flash enabled browser, just like were running on a DVD player, with all the existing interactivity (menus, chapters) intact? I know about Adobe Encore CS4:
http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/e... (See "Publishing of DVD projects to the web")
but I can't see that you can import an exisiting DVD into Encore. You would first have to build your own menus, chapters, timeline, etc., then you could export it to Flash...
If this is not possible in Encore CS4, how can I do this? Thanks

It's not possible with Encore - you must have an Encore project, and DVD is not an importable source in Encore.
I don't know if there is even any software in existence which could do what you are asking.

Is Encore the tool to make an interactive DVD?

I've never used Encore, but is it the Adobe tool I should use to make an interactive DVD?
I need controls like, pause, loop, start, stop. Those kind of controls.
I particularly need to make my animations have a control that allows the speaker of the presentation to loop the animation indefinitely until he wants to continue with his talk.

No. You asked in what I think is the right place: Director.

An Interactive DVD Menu-Like project

I am working on a project that requires a Main looping video with buttons to link to different videos, and a button to link back to the Main video - think of it as an interactive DVD. I created it in Encore but the problem is the computers this will be displayed on do not have blu-ray drives and the DVD really cuts the quality at full screen.
Is this something that could be done in flash? I have minimal training with Flash, but am up for learning. If anyone has pointers or reference links that could help me out that'd be great.
thanks.

If you did it in encore then your target was making a blu-ray, correct?
I presume you want to do what Encore does and make a "Computer" version of your DVD menus?
Have you tried Encore's File->Build->Flash... ?

Converting interactive DVD to IPad ?

I have an interactive DVD which I would like to be able to play on my IPad (Gen 4). It is an educational DVD with lessons for each section.
Can this be done and if so, how?
Thank you for your help.

Here is further clarification from the owner of the DVD's. Does this change how to convert so I can view on iPad?
They are NOT protected (DRM) but if I were to start making copies for friends (which I am not) then they would claim copy right.
DVD's are essentially a website on a DVD. To view them on iPad they have to be on something that looks like a
web server to the iPad.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Interactive DVD?

I'm a Final Cut editor looking for a way to create an interactive DVD with DVDSP4.
I'd like clip 1 playing then, at a specific point, without a prompt, the user will input on the remote one of two choices. If right, clip 2 plays, if wrong, clip 3 plays. Is something like this possible?
I have purchased The ripple training DVD authoring. It's great, but doesn't get into this kind of complexity.
Thanks for any ideas

Check the manual about BoV... it's actually pretty easy to apply. The trick is to set an in and an out marker in the timeline and apply a subtitle stream between them. Once you have got that in place then you can add a button and set the target. Once the button is set up, it acts like any other button in a menu, and can be made invisible. In your case it sounds as if you only want to type a space character in the subtitle...
The button stays available only for the duration of the subtitle clip, so setting this accurately will be important to you.

Burning keynote to DVD

I am have trouble in getting my keynote file to be burned to DVD through iDVD. The picture quality is very poor even playing back on my Mac. I tried different resolution but the result is the same. The same thing happens with slide show generated from iphoto as well. The picture quality is superb when it is in iphoto or keynote program. The same thing happened with iDVD 06 as well. Please help.

I am having the same problem. Everything started out so promising. I thought I can take advantage of the new keynote features. But they don't transfer well to other format. I need to put multiple music tracks in the presentation. So I saved the keynote into quicktime. That's where the trouble begins. Only dissolve works. The other transitions are all jerky in motion.
Does anyone know if I can put multiple music tracks in keynote?

Cannot Play Interactive DVD on MacBook

Am completely new to MAC, so please forgive me if this is a completely stupid question:
For some reason I cannot get my MacBook to play an interactive tutorial DVD. It plays all other DVD's I own without any problems, but for this one it gives "+supported disk not found+" message. I am sure nothing is wrong with the DVD, as it plays normally on my PC and my TV's DVD player. Spent the whole day trying to figure out what's wrong but still cannot.
Should I just download RealOne Player for MAC and try to play it there? Or is there any kind of codec I need to install?
Please help, as this is driving me nuts and I really need to be able to play this DVD on my MAC in front of my staff tomorrow!

Apple Support told me that most likely that DVD was formatted specifically for Windows, therefore it would not be played on MAC.

Interactive dvd navigation

i'd like to have a dvd open up with menus that don't lead necessarily to video files, but rather other files that would be on the dvd as well, (ie. picture files, pdf files, text files, and maybe video too).
i figure it would have to be a 'data dvd' and not a 'dvd video' since i want the non-video files included. is that even the case?
is it possible to set up an interactive menu among any items on the dvd, and how would you add or include the 'links' back and forth from item to item?
my only thought has been to create a .pdf file with links off of that to various pictures, videos. can you get a dvd to open up to pdf files, or link to them as a 'chapter' or at least open up with a menu still even if the dvd ends up being a 'data dvd'?
can dvd studio pro, or idvd do it?

I want to burn a project from Keynote onto DVD, but when I export it, the audio becomes all warped and echo-ey. What do I do?

Created a Keynote, added a soundtrack in Garageband, when the project is exported to iDVD the sound is all screwed up. Any ideas why this is happening, or a way to fix it?
Thanks for the ideas.

You dont need ANY CD/DVD burning software on your Mac
Just plug in your LG DVD/CD player and follow the below instructions
