Photos to DVD Widescreen

Hello folks, I was experimenting with my CS3 and the Video
Presets, I try a couple of times, but no matter what when I
load the picture ( saved as jpg ) into Premiere Pro
I still getting the black bars on the side.
Can someone give me some tips ?
I got some old 640 X 480 Pictures ( Family Pictures )
and manuallly will like to convert those to wide screen NTSC.
I had been trying with the following set up:
Preset: Film & Video
Size: NTSC Widescreen
I noticed that there are:
NTS D1 Widescreen
NTS D1 Square Pixel and
NTS D1 Widescreen Square Pixel
Do I need to use any of those ?
Thanks

This question probably be better in the elements forum. However if you crop or not depends on how much control you want for aligning the picture on the screen. In general the picture will fill the screen, But there will be times when you want to make sure a persons face is on the left 1/3 of the screen for example. When you crop or scale a picture is best to make sure it is the same size as the screen so there are no surprises.
Technically the apps generating the slideshow can determine if the full size photo will be a fill or fit, which is why its a good idea to scale or crop the photo's first. Fit means all the image will be in view and can result in bars either top/bottom or left/right. Whereas fill will scale a photo until the entire picture meets all four edges of the screen and can leave part of the image out of view.
As for what size to crop or scale to, that is depentant on the TV. Older TV's (pre-flat screen) were 720x480 or SD. Newer TV's are 1280x720 or 1440x1080.
Since you are burning to DVD and not Blu-ray you are limited to 720x480. Widescreen means the size of the pixel or the ratio I should say is no longer square which gives you a wide screen even though the resolution is the same.

What Resolution To Crop For Photo Display On Widescreen TV? Please Help

Hello,
I'm having great difficulty trying to crop my photos for display on a widescreen TV.
The resolution of the TV is 1920x1080, and when I crop to those dimensions I get the black letterbox bars on top and bottom of the screen when I display my photos on the TV.
What specific XXXX x XXXX numbers should I use when I crop in order to display my photos from edge to edge on the TV without the black letterbox bars?
Also, could you please specify the proper ratio number to enter into Lightroom for the same purpose? Apparently Lightroom requires a ratio number as opposed to pixel numbers in the dialog box. When I enter 16 : 9, the resulting crops display the black letterbox bars when viewed on the TV.
I've searched the net and read many discussions about pixel aspect ratios and dimensions and square pixels, etc., and I am totally confused because I should be able to achieve my goal with a 16:9 ratio, but no matter what I do I end up with the letterbox bars when displaying my photos on the widescreen TV.
Thanks very much in advance!

You'll need to describe just how you're getting those images onto the TV I think, for people to be able to answer this reasonably.
Is the TV plugged-in to the computer's video card? Or are you making a video that you're displaying off a DVD or similar?

How can I import the photos from dvd or hard disk?

Hi!
How can I import/export my photos from dvd or hard disk??!

To what? Are you having trouble with a DVD made by a particular device, or a hard disk that was on a particular computer, or is still in that computer, and communicating to your computer? We don't have enough details to answer the question. Are you trying to get photos into an iPhoto certain version, Photoshop certain version, just the Finder of a certain version, or specific operating system on your Mac? We need more details. Is the DVD a standard DVD, such as is indicated on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2446 or something non-standard?

Copy photos from DVD to Mac?

I would like to copy photos from DVD to Mac computer anyone know how to do it.

If the DVD was made on a Mac and they're JPEGs they should openable in Preview from the DVD. If so, just select them and drag them into a new folder to copy onto your hard drive. If the Mac doesn't recognize the DVD and it doesn't mount in the finder window or on the desktop, I'd say you're out of luck. But there are work arounds possible and too many to discuss without knowing a lot more about your setup and the DVD.

Burning photos onto dvd, loses the original date and time of photo

I'm trying to burn some photos onto dvd, but it marks all the files 'created date' and 'modified date' as today, rather than keeping the original date and time that the picture was taken. Is there a way around this?

Looks like that error is associated with bad or incompatible media. See this thread:

Backup photos to DVD (Not Time Machine)

Hi,
I am running Time Machine and backing up locally. What I am interested in doing is backing up my photos to DVDs and storing the DVDs off site. Is there any easy & free way to do that? I know I can make a burn folder and do it by hand. What I am looking for is a tool that I can choose a folder and select copy and it will automagically span the DVDs.
Thanks

Hi K J
If you have the images in iPhoto and select the album, and from the menu Share, select Burn, you can put them onto a DVD that way. I don't know if that is sufficiently automagical enough for you but that seems pretty direct to me.

I can not export photos onto DVD. After I click export, close iPhoto, click Finder, At this point I can't find the file to burn. (copy to be used on Windows) Sorry for the lame question....new to mac

So it sounds like you are trying to burn a DVD with photos on it so the photos can be either transferred to or displayed on a Windows PC, is that correct?
For the purposes of this I am going to assume you are using iPhoto '11.
Gather the photos you want to burn to DVD in one album in iPhoto. This is not absolutely necessary but it sure makes things easier for me.
Select that album, then go to the File menu and select Export...
In the dialog that shows up, select the File Export tab. Select the setting you want to use for export. Click the Export button.
Another dialog will show up. Set the location to Desktop and click the New Folder button. Name the folder something nice and descriptive and click the Create button.
Click the OK button. Quit iPhoto as the rest of this work will be done in the Finder.
You will now have a folder on your desktop with that nice descriptive name. Find it and select it. Go to the File menu and from it select Burn "Descriptive folder name" to Disc...
Insert a blank DVD when prompted.
Let the finder complete the work and eject the disc afterwards.
That's it. Best of luck.

I want to save all my photos to DVD to restore space on computer.

I wish to transfer all photos to DVD to secure more space on computer.

Much better to use an external hard drive.

I was using Live Quartz on my MBP to stamp name/date on photos... those photos onto DVDs or USBs for trade magazines to use

the end result was I would have one photo of a cow labeled right next to the same photo unlabeled for a catalogue. I'd burn those photos onto DVDs or USBs for trade magazines to use in their publications. Now all of the sudden I can't do it. Sent an email to LiveQuartz but haven't heard back. What's another simple way I can do this-- one or two steps max? Already tried Preview, but it won't keep the duplicate --- it annotates the original .

Check the LiveQuartz support forums - http://livequartz.7.forumer.com/.

After burning photos to DVD Keywords are lost or mixed up

Hello,
I burned many a photo to DVD last night and today I checked the DVD only to find most of the Keywords I assigned were now non existent except for a large group that should have read "Self Portraits" but now reads "House".
are my keywords gone and scrambled?

Hi Warriorant,
this is a current bug. Hopefully iPhoto 6 will fix this problem.
Are the keywords in the library that iPhoto opens still correct?

Saving photos to DVD ROM with iMovie

If I create a slide show with iDVD, I can set up an option (in preferences) to "always save slide show photos to DVD ROM". With this option selected, when I write a DVD, the photos are writen to a directory along with creation of VIDEO_TS files etc.
I like this option, since it gives me a way of storing the JPEG along with the same slide Show DVD. So at a later date if I want a single JPEG, I can get it from the same DVD as the slide show.
I want to use iMovie to create a slide show, since I want to put animated titles, various transitions between slides, and Ken Burns effect etc. But if I create an iMovie, is there a way to store the JPEG to the same DVD in a directory? I do not see any option, I am willing to take the iMovie to iDVD to get it done, even with this, I do not know how to save the JPEG to the same DVD-ROM.
Can some one help me with this.
Thanks,

there's no single-click option, but you have an option...
in iPhoto, create an album with your pics (we need that later in iM...)
"export"/share this album to a new folder on your harddrive (don't forget where...)
create your iM project, using that album
when finished, create new iDVD project, use your iM project...
when finished, in "expert" (<< english nomenclatura? the menu option between Project and Windows...) you can choose "dvd rom content"
in that dialog, choose your exported folder with pics to add it as pic.files ...
done.

Always add original slideshow photos to DVD-ROM

RE: Adding original slideshow photos to DVD-ROM option.

I want to be able to burn/save a slideshow .TS file or burn a slideshow DVD using iDVD and I want to be able to add original slideshow photos to the DVD-ROM using iDVD's "always add original slideshow photos to DVD-ROM". I also want to use Ken Burns pan/zoom effects which iDVD doesn't have as an option. I have been able to makeup my slideshow in iPhoto with Ken Burn effects and then send it to iDVD and retain the Ken Burn effects. However, when I do that, then I lose the ability of using iDVD's "always add original slideshow photos to DVD-ROM" option. Is there anyway to do/have both options retained in iDVD, Ken Burns effects and always add original slideshow photos to DVD-ROM using iDVD? If not, does any know if it is possible to do this using DVD Studio Pro?
THANKS!

then I lose the ability of using iDVD's "always
add original slideshow photos to DVD-ROM"
option.
Yes but all you lose is the "automatic/always" part,
you can add them yourself to the DVD ROM portion.
Under the "Advanced" menu in iDVD, you will see "Edit
DVD ROM Contents." Then create a new folder in the
window that opens, and you can drag photos from
albums (but not slideshows) into the DVD ROM
portion.

So if Aperture does not provide the ability to burn photos to dvd/cd how do you go about doing that?

Simply mount a disc in the drive, then in Aperture Export your versions to that location. Later in the Finder, Burn. No need for special function.

Backup Photos Spanning DVDs

Here's what I'd like to do:
Select my entire iPhoto Library ->Choose Share>Burn->Have iPhoto start burning my photos to DVDs->Have iPhoto prompt me when the first DVD is full to insert a new DVD-> Repeat until all photos are archived.
This works in iTunes, but we know that iPhoto doesn't work this way. It's non-trivial to try to select just the number of photos that will fit on a DVD, and to then select another batch for another DVD. Smart Albums don't have an option (that I've found, anyway) to limit themselves by size (as you can in a Smart Playlist in iTunes).
So, what are my options? Thanks in advance!

Ryk
What's not clear to me from your post is what you are trying to back up:
1. If it's the Library, then the Share -> Burn route is the way to go. This includes all your organisation, albums, keywords, books etc.
I would rather find a solution that allows me to burn just the image files, either unsorted or sorted into files by date.
Suggests that you don't want to back up the Library, just the Photos. If that's the case, then simply select the Events in the Finder and export them to Folders on the desktop. Then burn those with the Finder (or any burning app you prefer). The advantage of this is that there are no ancillary files, no other versions, so it's very easy to calculate the size of the burn folders.
There are back up solutions that will span disks for you: here's one:

but there are others. Search on MacUpdate
