Printing dvd cases of mac themed templates

Is there a way to save the preformatted theme that we have created when making a DVD - and print them for DVD cases? Like their "travel" theme, I used that for a movie and I'd like to be able to print that as the cover of a DVD case. I don't see anywhere where I can save as a picture the DVD title page that iDVD creates (with my drop in pictures). I'd like to have conformity from what comes on the screen when you put the DVD in to what is on the case. Thank you.

Since it takes more resolution for a decent print than a decent image on a monitor, I use Photoshop Elements' Resize command to increase the number of pixels in the image (as described).
More specifically, PSE4 has a couple bicubic options; if the screen grab is small, the Bicubic/Smoother option will soften the jagged edges as the picture enlarges. I usually enlarge the picture in 50% steps, and examine the enlargement to see if it needs sharpening (Unsharp Mask filter, or use the Bicubic/Sharper option for the next enlargement). Same type of process that I use to create a poster-sized print from a standard-sized original.

  • Searching Templates to Print DVD Cover on DVD Boxes From Pages or Keynote.

    i have iWork 06 and i want to print dvd jewel case or commercial boxes
    from Pages or Keynotes , i dont want to use third parthy applications.
    i just need templates i can import in iWork 06 , and work on them.

    I was just looking at a post I made awhile ago on this subject for a response to another post. Here it is adapted for you:
    There are several options for templates you can use in Pages. First, there those submitted by other users & available at iWork Community. Three possibilities for Word templates are Microsoft, Neato & Fellowes
    Most templates for Word will open nicely in Pages. I haven't come across one that doesn't, but that doesn't mean someone else might. The only thing to watch for is the file extension. Some Word templates have an extension other than .doc. You will still be able to use them, just change the extension to .doc in the Finder or Pages won't recognized them as Word files. Of course, you can't change just any file's extension to .doc & have Pages open it. It must be a Word document.

  • Suitable Prog For Printing VHS and DVD Case Covers

    I'm trying to do with Tiger in my MacPro what i'm used to doing in OS9.2.2 and OSX.3.9 which is produce DVD and VHS case covers with printed material usually frame grabbed from relevant films in FCP then titled up to finish off the product. The covers then relate to the film content.
    The prog I used has long ago been left behind somewhere with no hope of my finding it so I've been accustomed to taking a past finished one then altering it in Quark Express (from where I think it originated) and my question is, does anyone know of such a programme to be used in OS10.4.8 on my MacPro. At the moment I'm labouriously copying appropriate stuff from any film into 0S9.2.2 order to use the prog I still have there.....
    Thanks for any input.
    Ron

    Hi Ron!
    There are a lot of possibilities, depending on how complex you want them to be, and how many $$ you are prepared to spend.
    Adobe Illustrator does a great job, but so does Word: make a three column document, adjust them to fit the front, back and spine of the DVD case, and away you go!
    Virtually any graphics program has templates for doing this.

  • Recommendations for creating dvd case inserts?

    Hello! As far as I can tell, iDVD 6 has no feature for creating dvd case covers/inserts.
    I'd appreciate recommendations for inexpensive or free software for making such covers.
    Thanks!
    David

    You're welcome, David. I'm not familiar with all the Sharpie product line, but the common one that marks anywhere uses a fairly harsh solvent, and in theory could eat through to the reflective coating of the DVD. I found a Memorex product at Fry's Electronics named, "CD Marker." It is labeled non-toxic, water-based.
    Personally, I've not had any problems with the sticky labels (I've used Memorex and CD Stomper labels for a few years) but there are some strong feelings opposed to their use (and I can imagine a problem could come up in 10-15 years). You can do a search in these forums; an alternative is printing directly onto the DVD if you have the right printer and disks.

  • Print DVD cover

    I am new to Mac. Is there a built-in software to print DVD cover? I use Mediaface on the PC but don't know if MacOSX has pre-loaded software.
    Thanks

    How about taking a screen shot of the theme? It will be low resolution but you could use Photoshop Elements or the equivalent to increase the resolution for printing (increase the image size 50% at a time; sharpen as necessary).

  • How do I copy a DVD to my mac, and then trim it to upload clips to YouTube? They are not copyright protected DVDs.

    I am trying to take a DVD (non copyrighted) and be able to add 10 min clips of it to a YouTube Channel. How do I copy that DVD to my Mac and trim the clips I want to upload. Thank you.

    Copy the DVD to your desktop, then:
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion or later:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion and Mavericks even though they have it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 Premier prints only in black/MAC USER & won't align?

    PROBLEM # 1) I've replaced all my ink cartridges, but can't find out why my printer is now only printing in black? I'm a MAC user, so I want to print in color, and am trying to find instructions for a MAC on how to get back to printing in color?
    ACTION TAKEN #1
    UPDATE: I've done a three level cleaning of the printer heads, which DOES print in color and each color block now looks great.  The printer heads were not printing any color blocks, but the pink color block,  until the first third level cleaning. I then cleaned the printer heads a second time all the way through the third level.
    RESULT: However when I print from any document/web page my printer only still prints in black & white after these two printer adjustments double three stage printer cartridge claening?
     ACTION TAKEN #2
    I found this very detailed report and video on cleaning printer heads, alignment issues, and calibrate line feeds;
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01624398&lc=en&product=3964986&tmp...
    The Print Quality Diagnostics Page looks perfect (including the alignment section)  in all 3 test patterns, and again prints in color. 
    RESULT: However, my printer still will not print in color after trying all these steps?
    IPROBLEM #2)I  've also tried a align printer which also prints in color,  but states, "alignment failed see documentation manual"? To make the situation more complicated the alignment page looks perfect  and prints in color before the error message displays. 
    After puling the power cord  twice while ON  and wiating 20 seconds, as discussed in the above link. my printer "won't remove the, "align  error message see diagnostics manual".
    RESULT: Printer "won't remove the, "align  error message see diagnostics manual", even though the Printer Diagnostic Pages looks great, and the alignment page as well.
    I'm operating a lastest version Macbook Air laptop OS X 10.9.4. I have not upgraded to a new operating system since this problem started a week ago, and Ive owned this HP Printer for 2 years. 
    UPDATE: ISSUE SOLVED. Well you can imagine when I say that I spent about 2 hours on this yesterday that yea he's right. This took a long time to research and try all these solutions. I told my wife about the issue and had her try:
    ACTION TAKEN #3: Print a page from a second computer. Windows laptop printed a colored page from a web site.  
    SOLUTION: (Printing only in Black Color): Wife literally solved the problem in 3 minutes! 
    Look below at the presets drop-down arrow tab, which is right below the printer name: You will see PLAIN PAPER, FAST DRAFT, BLACK AN(D WHITE). I'm not sure how I checked this, but this is how you can print only in black ink. NOTE: I looked at dozens of answers across the web, and didn't find this info anywhere else!
    This screen shot show you what the setting should be if you want to print in fast draft mode to use the least amount of color ink. 

    Hi monkplayer,
    It looks like your problem is solved? There wasn't a problem with the printer itself, just the printer settings on your Mac?
    This is good information though. We don't always have detailed solutions for customers that are using Safari, since it is hard to write instructions for the general public with specific steps for each operating system.
    Best of luck,

  • How do I get my Canon MX860 back online so I can print wirelessly on my Mac OSX 10.8.4?

    I recently installed a new and bigger Time Capsule on my MacBook Pro system and since doing so, I lost the ability to print wirelessly on my Canon MX860 printer.  I am using Mountain Lion OSX 10-8-4.
    I note Pahu discussion in another group on this same issue but it pertains to Snow Leopard.  I don't know how much difference it makes but when I followed his instructions, I did not get my problems resolved.  I am inserting here his discussion and in bold my comments where my results differed.
    Pahu comments follow (min results in bold):  Some of the new models of Canon inkjet let you set the network settings using the touch panel on the printer. I am not sure if your MX860 has this setting, called Easy Setup under Device Settings > Network. If it does then you can change the network settings and create a new print queue on the Mac.
    If it doesn't have the ability to change the settings via the keypad then you will have to connect the printer via USB to your Mac, which will create a USB connected print queue. If you then open Print & Fax, select this USB MX860 print queue and then press Options & Supplies, you will see the Utility tab. I DID NOT HAVE THAT TAB  I FOLLOWEED HIS LEAD USING THE FOILLOWING:  MAC HD/Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter/Utilities With this selected then click Open Printer Utility. This will open the Canon IJ Printer Utility and within this utility you will see the Network Settings button. Select this and you can then enter the new network settings, such as the SSID, type of security being used and the password for the network. Save the changes, turn off the power to the MX860 and then disconnect the USB cable.
    Now turn the printer back on and open Print & Fax again. For the USB print queue you just created, you can delete this. I NEVER SAW ANY PRINT QUEUES AFTER TURNING THE PRINTER BACK ON.  ONLY THING I HAD WAS THE PRINTER LISTED IN THE WINDOW SHOWING IT WAS OFFLINE.  And for the old networked print queue, you need to delete this also. You may also need to delete the networked scanner queue if you had one. So with all the old queues to the MX860 removed you can then add the new network printer. I DID TWO THINGS, FIRST LEAVING THE PRINTER IN THE WINDOW, I TRIED ADDING USING + BUT NOTHING HAPPENED.  THEN I TRIED DELETING THE PRINTER IN THE WINDOW AND THEN TRIED HITTINH + BUT NOTHING EVER APPEARED.  HAD TO RECABLE THE PRINTER TO THE MACBOOK TO GET PRINTER BACK.  Click the + and wait for the MX860 to appear as a printer - it will appear first as a scanner and you can either add that now or after adding the printer. NONE OF THIS HAPPENED AND I LET IT SIT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES.  Several seconds after the scanner appears the printer should also appear, showing canonijnetwork in the Kind column. DID NOT HAPPEN.  Select this and the Print Using menu should automatically select the Canon MX860 series printer driver. When it does click Add to complete the network print queue creation and repeat the steps to add the network scanner if you need it.  OBVIOUSLY, NONE OF THIS HAPPENED EITHER.
    NOW IT IS ME AGAIN.  Can someone please help me with this mess?  I am so frustrated with dealing with this for three days and the only way I can print is using the RSB cable which is not so cool strung across my bedfrom the computer to the printer.  Any guidance would be appreciated.  I am an old man of 73 and way over my head with this mess.  Don't know why Canon has to make this so difficult.  Thanks in advance, Ron Wikoff

    I too am experiencing the same problem, my Canon MX860 printer is no longer connecting to my Airport Extreme Router. I tried following the directions on Canon's website http://www.usa.canon.com/CUSA/assets/app/pdf/wireless/router_network_change_mx34 0_mp495_mx860_mp980_mp620_mac.pdf
    I have tried uninstalling all of the printer drivers, as suggested in another apple discussion, then running the Canon IJ network tool.
    I tried PAHU's response above:
    Okay. No facility to add the MX860 to an Apple wireless network using the control panel so you will need to use the Canon IJ Network Tool.
    So with the Mac connected to the MX860 via USB cable, open Canon IJ Network Tool (which should be located in Applications > Canon Utilities > IJ Network Tool). If you are looking in the other path you mention above, this could be an older version so download and install this latest version of the IJ Network Tool.
    With the IJ Network Tool open, the first window talks about adding the printer to the network. Ensure the setting "Use the printer on the network" is set. Click OK
    From the next window, the MX860 should be shown and as connected to the Mac via USB. Select it and click OK.
    The next window will show the utility searching for wireless access points. A new window will then appear asking you to confirm the connection to the access point and the text will show which access point was found - which should show "Ronald Wikoff's Network". Click Yes to continue. When a window appears stating that the Canon IJ Network Tool wants to use your password, click Allow. (I cannot make it past this step. The Canon IJ Network Tool does not aoutmatically find my password. Instead I am taken to a screen where I type in my password and then attempt to connect.)
    Now the window will take several seconds to setup the printer and should show a Setup Completion window. Click OK. (I never make it to this window. I receive an error message that that says the printer cannot communicate with the access point and to check the password. I checked the password then tried again. I even changed the password in the airport utility to make sure I had the correct password and it still did not work. I am starting to suspect that this may be related a recent Airport utility upgrade to 6.3.1 a few days ago.)
    This will make the Add printer window appear. In the list, the "Canon MX860 series (00.00.85.xx.xx.xx)" should be visible. If it is, select it. The "Use" menu should then show "Canon MX860 series". If it does, click Add. This will add the network printer to the Mac.
    If you now open Print & Scan, the "Canon MX860 series (00.00.85.xx.xx.xx)" should be in the printers list, as well as the Canon MX860 series. This latter one is for the USB connection. You could delete this printer and disconnect the USB cable.
    The last step is to print a document to this network printer.
    I plan on calling Canon tomorrow but if you have any other options for my to before then I am open to suggestions.

    If you mean a commercial DVD you have bought, then you can't. They are usually copy protected and removing the protection is illegal in most countries, so we cannot help you do that.
    If it is a personal DVD that you own the copyright on, then you can convert it to iPad format using Handbrake. Handbrake will not convert copy protected, commercial DVDs.
