Pausing a slide show created in iDVD.

I'm using iDVD to create slide shows and then burning to a DVD, but I can't pause the slide shows when they are showing on the TV. Is there a way to do this?

What do you have for slide timing?  Set to manual and then try again:
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.

    As I see it - it falls back on that DVD is as STANDARD only Interlaced SD-Video at it's best (even commercial made ones)
    The Quality You see on Your Mac is prior to this down-scaling process.
    If You need higher quality (and this includes several problems)
    • DVDs can not be used
    • You can try Blu-Ray (short one on DVD disks) - BUT You also need a Blu-Ray Player as a PlayStation 3 (you also need a program that can author BD-Disks as Roxio Toast™)
    • You can try to Export as HD and to an USB-Memory stick - if You have any device that can take this
    • You can connect a Mac to a big sized flat-screen TV - and playback this way
    End of ideas.

  • Can't Export Keynote slide show file to iDVD?

    I am having difficulty exporting a 12mb Keynote slide show file to iDVD. When I go to export, a warning stating that 'There is not enough disc space or a problem with the file' appears. I have enough disc space and I don't think that I am corrupting the file in any way. I've also tried a 'dummy' version with only two slides in the show, still get same message. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    intel 20"   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I don't have a solution, but I'm having the same problem. I just installed iWork 06 and iLife 06. I have tried this on 2 machines one running 10.4.6 and the other running 10.3.9. And both give the same error. I called Tech support and first talked to the iWork department. The tech actually was having the same problem when he tried. He did research and talked to a product specialist to no avail. Then he transferred me to the product specialist, who was also having the problem and said they would escalate the issue to the engineers to see if its something they know about already or need to look at. I'm curious if anyone has actually been able to use this feature and when people started having problems. Because before installing iWork, there was a recent security update that I had installed on both these machines, and I wonder if that may have caused anything.
    As far as preferences, there are two folders named Library one directly on your hard drive and one in your home folder. Both have a folder called Preferences, in Library/Preferences there's a file called com.apple.Keynote.plist and in home/library/preferences there's a file com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist These are the preference files for Keynote. On rare occassions preference files can become currupt causing errors in the application. If you delete the file the application just creates a new fresh one the next time you launch, but settings go back to default. But this sometimes fixes problems. However I have a feeling this may not work for this problem.

  • Are .mov files usable in PE 13?  If not, can PE 13 convert them to a usable format?  Will the result be usable in a slide show created with Photoshop Elements 13?

    Just a note...Photoshop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13 are standalone products. Each comes with the

    how do I load a slide show created in pro show gold?

    Their website talks about some sort of plug-in that you can get : http://www.photodex.com/products/plugins/device - persumably (and I'm guessing) it converts the output into something that is compatible and can be synced to the iPad's Videos app

    When you installed version 10 did you convert your previous catalog?
    If so, your projects should appear in the PSE10 Organizer. To search for them type PSESS into the search box.
    You should then be able to open the project by double clicking on  its thumbnail.
    Then choose Output >> Edit in Premier Elements

  • Can a slide show created on iMac be shown on an iPad ?

    can a slide show created on iMac be shown on an iPad ?

    If you use keynote on both, yes.
    You can also have keynote remote on your iphone to control the slides on your ipad.

  • I want to make a copy of slide show create from my own photographs and with a an audio track behind them. I have carefully followed the iDVD tutorials and burnt the result to a disc but image quality is very poor. What is wrong?

    I want to make a DVD of a slide-show with an audio track behind the photographs. I have carefully followed the iDVD video tutorials but the result is far from satisfactory. The quality of the images on the resulting DVD are blurred and indistict although the original photographs are of a very high quality. Where am I going wrong? Would I have better results from a different program than the inbuilt iDVD and if so so what programs have others found to be better? I should be grateful for some expert guidance.

    Hey Falcopebo,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Looks like you have image quality issues when using iDVD to burn.
    iDVD 7.0: Burned DVD has interlacing, pixelation, or image quality issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4078
    A standard DVD made by iDVD is made to the standard DVD resolution of 720 X 480, which is smaller than most HDTVs and monitors. When expanded to fit the entire screen or monitor, the image will distort slightly due to upscaling to fit the screen or monitor.
    Have a nice day,

  • Slide show - iMovie, iPhoto, iDVD or Final cut?

    Apple provides so many different ways to create a slide show I'm not sure which is best?
    My highest priority is best possible quality. I prefer the flexibility, though more work, associated with iMovie (06). I own FCE, but it appears to be overkill. iphoto, and iDVD are nice and easy, but limited in control of music, and text overlays....
    I recently created a DVD importing from a slide show from iPhoto, keynote, and native iDVD slide shows. I created it using the "proffesional quality" pref setting. it's good, but I don't think it's great! Some flickering on the Ken Burns affects, and text from keynote is a little fuzzy on the edges. I tried to make one with iMovie (06) and the application 'cored' on me (discouraging). But I've had good luck with iMovie in the past.
    Can anyone share with me their experience to achieve the highest quality output?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    As a general rule of thumb, Final Cut will usually be your best bet as it is the mini version of the pro app. iMovie '06 is good for quality. iMovie '08 seems to be a more crippled version, though. So, if that is the case, I recommend FCE.
    Cheers,
    Michael

  • TV replay of Slide show built in iDVD is poor.

    I have followed the instructions to the letter for making and burning a slide show to DVD (using iDVD). No matter which format (4:3 or 16:9) I use, the final product appears very pixilated when played on the TV.
    I have a wide screen Sony Bravia and have used it in wide, standard and all other options trying to improve the photos in the slide show ... all to no avail.
    Can someone please tell me what I can do to overcome this problem. I don't expect HD (can't get it with iDVD) but I do expect a photo to look comparable to a screen shot on the TV.

    I'm having the same problem.
    I've looked at a lot of threads dealing with this problem but have yet to find any solutions that really help fix the problem.
    Is it not possible to get good quality photos in a slide show through iDVD? So far they all look terrible.

  • Audio in slide show exported to iDVD

    According to Apple, when a Keynote slide show is exported to iDVD, any audio in the slideshow is written to a separate file which is not referenced in iDVD and so won't be burned onto a DVD with the images. This means that the iDVD project and the audio file have to be imported to iMovie and edited before burning to DVD (what a mess!!!), but I recently was successful in exporting a slideshow to iDVD (God knows how!!! - I've not been able to do it since), and the audio was retained and played with the movie.
    Does anyone out there have any idea how this happened? Like I say, I've not been able to export a Keynote slide show to iDVD since. After a total of 5 attempts and about 36 hours, I still have not succeeded in creting an iDVD project with my latest slide show of 184 images, never mind the sound track.
    Please don't tell me I have to move to Microsoft!!!!

    Just played it on my iMac and the audio is fine. The track plays twice yet I have it set to fit to audio dissolve. The track is 3:44 and I have 78 pictures. iDVD make the slide show 7:29

  • Import Images into slide show - Creating Thumbnail images -Hang

    I am using iDVD 7. I imported my images into a slideshow. The pictures were not in iPhoto but just a folder that I created and edited in Photoshop. Once I import the images, the window shows all the file names as expected but all the Image Thumbnails are blank and the top of the window there is a message "+Creating thumbnail images... (32 remaining)+" with a spinning wheel next to the message. This message stays there forever. The 32 is the number of images in the slideshow. I can do most things in iDVD while this is going on, but I cannot add the audio I want.
    What is causing this and can I get it to stop?

    To add to this I decided to remove the slideshow and now import the pictures from iPhoto. I can only get ride of the message by closing iDVD down. When I relaunch iDVD the message is gone. When I now import the pictures from iPhoto the same thing happens where it hangs on creating thumbnail images.

  • PDF slide show created in PE 10 won't play

    Slides are there and can be advanced manually, but audio track is missing and slides will not play as in a show.  Any ideas why?

    don't think audio will play within a pdf slideshow.
    That's right. Audio, transitions, pan and zoom, etc. aren't possible with the level of PDF that PSE creates.

  • IDVD Slide show audio issue

    Slide shows created on iDVD look and sound great during preview, however after burning to disk, audio drops out for about 5 seconds after every 99 slides?  I have been told that this is a known issue with iDVD.  How can I correct this error??

    There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
    If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
    Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
    http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
    (Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico:  http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
    Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
    Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie  as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast,  for burning.
    You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
    To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:
