Playing one movie after another on one iDVD Project

Hello,
I am making a slideshow dvd that has two sets of videos. One is a slideshow from iPhoto in .mov format and a ending in .m4v My problem is that I need to play the slideshow first and then the ending without having to go back to a menu. How would I go about this. Thank you

Hi
Only way I know of is: Re-do the SlideShow in iMovie HD 6 as a full movie.
Add this to Your iDVD project.
No there are NON - Play all option in iDVD so when needing this one has to
feed iDVD with one full movie and then double with each Chapter as an individual
small movie.
In DVD Studio pro this can be done: But price scarry and needs lot's of learning
to do it right.
Yours Bengt W

Embed question - play one movie after another

I am trying to figure out how to play a short 10 second clip before each movie on my website. The clip may be a short ad or a promo and will depend upon the content of the main video. What is the code that enables you to play one move after another in a web page. I don't want to edit the two clips to become one cos over time the ads and promos will change. In Realplayer I remember using SMIL but how is it done in QT. I will eventually write code to write out the Embed tag but now i am just experimenting. Here is what my drupal site puts out

Embed the initial movie clip as normal, but give it an HREF property.
Set the source for the HREF to be the next movie, set autohref=true, and set target="myself". It's the same technique you use to build a poster movie but (a) instead of having the poster movie open QT Player, you have its target open in its own frame and (b) instead of waiting for a user to click the poster, you have the poster movie "click itself".
Code that I used a very long time ago to display a "Loading..." graphic as a movie loaded (waste of effort, actually, as the movie is fast start and loads very fast):
<embed
src="loading.mov"
height="208"
width="256"
autohref="true"
href="Worm.mov"
target="Myself">
</embed>
(of course this was before I learned about OBJECT and the need to use OBJECT to activate the ActiveX control in IE. Also, it's worth noting that the javascript hack isn't strictly necessary for IE users, but without it, IE users will get a security dialog before they get the movie.)
The code above can be found on:

2 movies to one iDVD project

in IMovie '11 I have two movies I would like to burn on one DVD.
- If I choose 'export to iDVD' 2 separate projects are created.
- If I export the movies I seem to lose the chapter markers.
Is there any way to get these 2 (short) movies including Chapter markers in one iDVD project?
Thank you very much in advance!

Start up iDVD.
Create a new project.
Select a theme.
Choose the "Media" browser and select "movies" Your movies should be there and you can drag each of them to your iDVD screen.

How do you import multiple iMovie projects into one iDVD project?

Hi.
I'm 17, and am trying to create a DVD of when the family went on a cruise. For different places/days, I've created different iMovie projects.
But, when I want to export to iDVD, it only lets me put one iMovie project into one iDVD project?
I've tried dragging the actual iMovie project files into iDVD but that doesn't work.
I know I could export to QuickTime and then drag it into iDVD, but it seems exporting just to iDVD is much quicker, and the quality is better.
Anyone know how I can do this?
cheers
+P.S. If it helps, it's iMovie '11 with iDVD '09.+

That is not true. You can use them all in one DVD. I have just created my first DVD which has a trailer, a movie with chapters and several different slide shows.
All you have to do is save each project to Media Browser. (Choose Share in toolbar). Open iDVD and choose your theme or no theme. On the right will be all your options such as audio, media photo's etc. Choose your various video's/projects etc and just drag and drop which ones you want to the page and they will automatically put themselves there with the given name of each video/project.

Combine two iMovie projects into one iDVD project?

Could someone help me figure out the best way to combine two iMovie (HD 5) projects into one iDVD project? I currently have a documentary with one iMovie project at 1 hour exactly. I am starting a second one and would like all this to go on one DVD eventually. I am especially concerned about what happens with the chapter markers already created in each iMovie project - how is that combined when the two are put together? If there is a link for this info, I'd be happy to read that as well.
Thank you!

I would combine them by saving each completed imovie (without chapter markers) as a full quality QuickTime movie.
Then start a completely new imovie project and import each of those in to make make one large imovie. (But remember, your DVD will only hold about 120 minutes of footage and that doesn't count the themes).
That's when I would add the chapter markers.
BTW-it's going to take up a lot of disk space to save the movie s and to burn the DVD.

More than one iMovie project into one iDVD project??

Hi,
I am editing several iMovie projects which I had intended to put on one DVD using iDVD.
Can I use iMovie to share several projects to one iDVD project or should I use iDVD to import several (completed) iMovie projects to the one iDVD project?
Can I even have more than one project on in an iDVD project?
I am currently importing a large video file to iMovie so iMovie is inaccessible.
My iMovie projects are video only (no menus, etc. until I import to iDVD).
Cheers

Well, it is recommended that you use the 'Best Performance' default setting from iDVD's Preferences for movies under 60 minutes to get the best quality.
If you want to put 60-120 minutes on one DVD, you have to select either 'High Quality' or 'Professional Quality' Both will give good results; PQ will take a bit longer to do and is supposed to be higher quality.
I usually make movies just under 2 hours, and I always use PQ. I am pleased with the quality of my movies on DVD disks. However, you should know that I am using iMovie 6 and not any hi-def videos (yet ).
David Pogue explained the process of 'Best Performance' and 'Best Quality' (what the option was before HQ and PQ) like this:
Best Performance option allots "+a fixed, predetermined amount of data to each frame of video...no matter how many minutes of video...A lot of the DVD might wind up being empty--if...the project contains less than an hour of video. But the process will go quickly, and the video will look really great+."
Best Quality option uses "+every micron of space on this blank DVD+" because it analyzes "+the amount of video...included+," and divides "+it into the amount of space available on the DVD. The amount of information used to describe an individual frame of video will vary from project to project, and it will take...a lot longer to burn the DVD because+" of "+so much analysis. But at least+" you "+will get two hours of great-looking video per disc.+"
If your videos are short, you might want to try all the encoding options and see which gives you the best quality.

Starting a movie after another movie is finished

hello
i have a series of movie clips that I want to play
sequentially. For some I would like them to play one right after
another and others that have a pause in between. I have the first
part worked out but it is sloppy and there is code all over the
place. is there a set, clean way to accomplish this?
peace

Yeah that's what I have been doing. I guess I should have
been clearer. Is there anyway to consolidate the code so that it
stays on the _root timeline?
I have also used this method, shown in the attached code. I
have tried to do other things with that code but it hasn't worked.
Can anything else be done w/ the attached code or is that the most
it can do?

HT201611 how to play rented movies on another authorized device instead of the original rent device?

i needed some movies for a trip but my laptop downloads too slow so i needed to use my desktop, not working after moving files, but, the laptop in question is authorized, i moved the movie files from the desktop to my laptop adding them as files back into itunes
when i go to play the movies through iTunes, it just sits there staring blankly at me, no movie, no password confirmation, nothing, and they haven't even been played yet, they come up under un-watched but wont play
is there anything i can do or is this a limitation?
BTW both devices are using Windows 7

It's a limitation; only one computer can be authorized for any given rental. If desired, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

SAFARI doesn't play QT movies after update

We did the 7 to 7.1.2 something update and now safari won't play the movies -- we just get a question mark! It kind of works in other browsers, just not safari. Anyone know how to fix it?

Hello,
I am reading with interest the post about quick time.
I have been having terrible crash trouble due to shock wave plug in..
i posted to another forum about this...
however.. in my frustration, i moved a QT plug in, there were two in the drop down menu in safari, i did a search and found the plug and deleted it... and and now get an error message when i click on a web page..
The page.... "Apple-Quick time attempted to load an Internet plug in named Quick time plugin 7.1.1, but the plug-in failed to load successfully".
I tried to put it back from the trash, howver,, I think i put in in the wrong place. Does any one know the file sequence that the plug in should go into?
Also, I checked the unistaller for QT.

Put two imovie projects into one idvd project?

I have been trying for days to do something that seems so simple.
I have two imovie projects with chapters that I'd like to place as two separate movies into a single idvd project. I have tried everything, seems it should be as simple as clicking and dragging from one to the other. But idvd tells me the imovie project isn't prepared for sharing. If I share them to idvd, I get two separate projects. How do I combine them into one?

Best place to combine QT movies is in iMovie itself (that or FCP). However, the following link makes reference to combining two or more iDvd slideshows in iDvd. But one may also add multiple QT movies to the slideshow feature w/in iDvd.

Flash player plays wrong movie after opening with Rosetta

Hi,
I just had the most peculiar experience. Tried to open a [flashmovie].flv (which in hindsight could be done with Quicktime), Flash START popped up, followed by a pop-up requiring a Rosetta installation. This is the first time I came across Rosetta. Installed it, tried to open the flv again, this started the flashplayer alright but it started a completely different movie.
Opened the same file in Quicktime and that works fine.
Can anyone recommend what to do? Do I have to deinstall rosetta and the flashplayer to prevent this kind of behaviour?

Rosetta could come in handy for other apps you have hanging around, so I suggest you leave it where it is.
To make movies open in QuickTime, select one and press Command-I to open the Information window. In the Open With pane, select QuickTime Player from the pop-up menu. Then click on the Change All button below, and click on the Continue button in the "Are you sure" dialogue box that appears.
You can then throw away the Flash player, unless you prefer it and the developer comes up with a Cocoa/Intel version.

How do i add a second movie to an idvd project when 'sharing' from imovie always opens a new idid window?

I am creating an idvd project with multiple imovie projects. I know I need to share my imovie project with Idvd. WEhen I do that, idvd automatically opens. Now I want to add a second project. The problem is that when I share imovie projects a second time, it automatically opens a second idvd project. I want to add multiple imovie projects on one idvd project.

One should not share directly to iDVD from iMovie. The Share ➙ Media Browser option should be used as that results in a better quality movie in iDVD. Do the same for both movies and you can drag the movies from the Media ➙ Movies pane in iDVD into the DVD menu window at the left.
Follow this workflow to help ensure 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.

Block Sections in movie after burning

After I burn a movie I put it in to watch and during faster sequences it gets all blocky. Here's what I've tried:
I've done a test on the burner
Burned it to the HD and it did looked the same way
It looks fine when I watch it in QuickTime before I burn
Changed the Performance Setting to the Quality Setting
Exporting it from Final Cut Pro 3 in many differnet formats
Tried it in Widescreen and 4:3
Played it in different DVD players
All this and nothing seems to work. I'm all out of ideas. Could someone please help??? Thanks

Exporting it from Final Cut Pro 3 in many differnet formats
Take a look at this:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/22.html
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save As Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

Mixing 4:3 and 16:9 in one dvd project

I have video that is in the 4:3 style and a 16:9 slideshow - is there anyway I can combine them on one iDvd Project. (It looks like everything should be one way or the other.

I shared the slideshow made in iMovie to iDVD the project created was 16:9 - that is when I realized the video I'm working with is 4:3. I have never put a slideshow on a video DVD so am new to this. I will probably use the Revolution theme and need to figure out how to put the slideshow as a separate item. Believe it or now I have done quite a few video projects using FCE and iMovie with menus etc so not sure why this is confusing me. I have only used the main theme before with chapters. Do you use two different Revolution themes when adding a slide show. Guess this is a new question, but maybe F Shippey will replay back. I know I will figure it out - will try what you said first. The video project isn't complete, but could try with what I have done so far. Thanks
