Make a DVD and export finished movie back to videocam

I have new iMac with Maverick and iMovie 10.0.2 I was great with iMovie 6-so easy. I have tried to review previous discussions. My new Mac does not have iDVD. (is there anyway to put iDVD in the new computer?) I just want to make a DVD of finished movie so I can play it on a TV. Unfortunately the new Mac only makes an Mp4. Please can someone give me step by step instruction how to make a DVD. I will get Toast Titanium if necessary but would still need step by step. I have looked at online tutorials but I can't put it together. I am much older since trying the new iMovie. So many extra steps, etc.
Also, how can I share the finished movie with my video cam (i.e. move it back to my videocam or its SD). I can move it to CNN, Vimeo, Facebook, etc. but not back to my camera like it was when so easy with iMovie 6. Thank you.

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

I exported a iphoto slideshow to desktop, converted it to mpg file by using BURN app, burned to DVD and exported to a USB flashdrive. The DVD looks great but flashdrive is extremely fuzzy. What is the difference and how can I make flashdrive sharper?

I exported an iphoto slideshow to desktop, converted it to mpg file by using the BURN app, burned it to a DVD and exported it to a USB flash drive. The DVD looks great and very sharp but the slideshow on the USB flash drive is extremely fuzzy. What is the difference and how can I make the slideshow on the flash drive look as sharp as the DVD?

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 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.

What's a good video app to use? I have iPhoto and iMovie, but they won't let me email a video. I also want to be able to make a dvd of my home movies. Any suggestions?

Unless you want a new computer, forget about AVCHD. It requires too much muscle to edit comfortably on anything but the fastest computer.
What camera is nice, depends on your budget. Formats that are easy to edit are HDV, DVCProHD (P2) and XDCAM. In the consumer range you could look at the Canon HV40 or XH-A1s, in the prosumer range look at the Panasonic AG-HPX170, Canon XH-H1s, JVC GY-ND250 or Sony HVR Z5 or Z7 and all Sony XDCAM cameras, especially the EX1 and EX3. In the professional range look at the Sony PDW-F355 or upward.

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw makes horrible noise and will not move past initializing

Makes horrible noise and will not move past initializing.

Hi @HealthITLadyRed,
I read your post and see that the printer is making noise and is stuck initializing. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
I have provided some steps to try to see if we can resolve this issue.
Check and remove any packaging material inside the printer and toner.
Disconnect the USB/Network/FAX and power the printer on Standalone.
Do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
If the issue persists, perform a power drain by disconnecting the power cord from the back of the printer and keeping the power button pressed for 30 seconds and in case of a power switch keep the switch in ON position for 30 seconds before reconnecting the power chord.
Update the printer's firmware by a USB connection. Software and Drivers.
Select Option 2 and wait for the page to load and then select the link for firmware. This resolved the previous posters issue.
I can send a private message with another step to try.
In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
What happened prior to this issue? (paper jam, changed toner) Any feedback would be appreciated.
Is this a new printer?

If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know. Thank You.

I work with Premiere Pro on a mac and export quicktime movies to be played on pc's or mac's

I work with Premiere Pro on a mac and export quicktime movies to be played on pc's or mac's. When I export a qt from Premiere with audio it will not play on a pc only a mac. After extensive research I have narrowed down the problem to this: if you use the inspector in quicktime it looks like this
DV, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
I have to run it thru AE to make it look like this....then it plays
DV, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
SOOOO the problem is the Little/Big Endian. I googled that and it looks like a file/bit structure....anyone know how/why to change it in Premiere? Because everytime I make a movie in Prem I have to drag the sequence into AE and render it there so the sounds works.....
thanks

Two questions:
1. What CODEC are you choosing when exporting on the Mac?
2. Do you have any Blackmagic hardware/software installed?
Cheers

All my movies are in 4:3 scale. I need to finalize a dvd, and when the movie enters in iDVD, burns in 16:9 format. What must I do?

I need a help from you. All my movies are in 4:3 scale.
I use always the same Easy SepUp in Final Cut. My movies is compressed as DV NTSC in 4:3 format.
I need to finalize a dvd, and when the movie enters in iDVD, the preview appears already written in green "widescreen preview", and so the finallized dvd goes to 16:9 format.
I checked in Idvd, and the size is choosed to 4:3.
Interestingly, I've used iDVD several times, including by using templatesmade to 16:9, and changing the format to 4:3 it always worked well.
Maybe is an Idvd update that causes it?

Sorry,I know this is a month late, but I think I remember this happening to myself some time ago. As I can best recall, I believe I had used an MP3 music file in my project (exported from FCP 7) and that was the cause in some strange way. I remember deleting a file (again, I believe the mp3 file) and then it worked fine as 4:3.Not positive, but I hope this helps.

You can't use iMovie to create a video DVD - for that you need iDVD:

To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

Use a product such as MPEG Streamclip to convert the VOB files on the DVDs to DV.

Difference in quality between digital preview and exported QT movie

I am editing a project shot in HD. I have the easy setup configured correctly according to the footage: AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60 and the rate is 29.97 fps. When I view the project in playback using FCE4's "Digital Cinema Desktop Preview-Main" is looks great (crisp, clear, etc.). When I export it to a quicktime movie (note: not using conversion), the quality is extremely compromised and some of the fast moving objects are grainy, choppy and blurry and look really bad. Can I do something differently so that the exported movie looks as good as the Digital Cinema Desktop Preview?
Also, I have incorporated several freeze frames in my project. These look a little blurry and aren't as crisp as I like. Is this because the camera wasn't shooting at a fast enough speed? At the same time, related to what I described above, the freeze frame looks MUCH better in playback in the Digital Cinema Desktop Preview than in the exported QT movie.
Thanks in advance for your help.

How are you viewing the movie ? If you are using Quicktime to view it, then this is also what I have experienced. In my case once I convert the footage to some final product everything is fine. I think that our computers (and or QT) are not able to keep up with the demand put on it to play back the HD files.
Your next step would depend on what your final product is going to be, a DVD, upload to the internet or whatever.

Exporting Finished Movie

I have produced severla movies and exported them to i-movie projects.
The last one stops after a moment and the program blocs???
Could it be that there is to much material in i-movie??

Of course it could be. But you don't tell us how long your last project is and how much HD space you have.

Can't export finished movie

My daughter has a school video she has worked on for hours and we are having trouble exporting it back to the DV camera. It is choppy, skips, black picture, no sound, etc. So we tried burning a DVD--got stuck, never finished; tried compressing to QT, but it got hung up and kept adding time to the "time remaining to finish:--got up to more than 200 minutes (started at 38). She is getting desperate. By the way, it is 12 min long, about 2.6 GB, too big for flash drive we have.
By the way, I went back to check to see if the movie itself is corrupted and the clips seem ok but the sound is missing or very low on a fair amount of it--it was OK before we started trying to export--what's the fix for this?

Hi(Bonjour)!
Try to delete render files.
Do a new "render all" with "audio mixdown".
If this do not work, try to delete 3 pref file.
Is there any iTune music store song in your project ?
If yes, this kind of file cannot be exported from FCE, you have to burn them od a CD from iTune, and import the resulting file in file AFFTER copying it on your Hard drive.

How to export pics/movs back to iPhone?

I have tried to export a few pictures and movie clips in Aperture (shot with my iPhone) back to my iPhone but it doesn't seem to work.
It looked like the export was going fine (and I never got any error message). However, when the export was complete I couldn't find neither pictures or movie clips on the iPhone.
Have I missed something here?

By the way, how do you include a photo album in iTunes?
You cannot include the photo album in iTunes, but when you sync your iPhone using iTunes you can set it to sync the Photos with Aperture, that is how I sync my Aperture Library to my iPod.
Click on the iPhone icon when your iPhone appears in the devices list in iTunes to open the above panel, and then select the projects and albums you want to sync.

How do I find out the size of a file, trying to make a DVD and told the fil

Made a slide show project with music and trying to write to dvd. Computer tells me the file is to large and to use a dual sided disk. I cut may slides out but no luck. How do you find out the file size?

Hi
And SlideShows has a limit of 99 slides per show.
I rather assemble mine in iMovie HD 6 where as QuickTimeKirk states
it only has Time as a limit dep. on encoding method selected and if Single or Double layer DVDs
Single Layer (for DL double time) - TIME includes menu - keeping it simple gives more to movie.
(I prefere "Brushed Metal" no audio, no animation.)
• Professional Quality (movies up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
