Problems with Chapters in iDVD 5!

Hey, I'm trying to fix a problem I'm having... I'm burning a DVD with a few different videos on them added in a certain order. When playing back on a DVD player, if I press the 'Next Chapter' button, it just skips through them randomly... not in the order they are listed in (which is also the order I have added them files into iDVD!)
Inserting the DVD back into my Mac, I noticed in the 'Go' menu of the DVD player, that each video is created within a new 'Title', not 'Chapter', so the disc has 5 titles but only 1 chapter.... is there any way I can make 1 title but each video a different chapter so I can skip through them in order?
Thanks!

Hello Daniel,
if you import single movies into iDVD, they will all show up on the main menu as separate items (with 1 chapter each) and in order to play them, you'll have to select each one separately.
If you want the movies to appear as chapters, you'll have to combine them into one movie (e.g. in iMovie), then set chapter markers. Now import that movie into a new iDVD project.
Important:
Rules of Chapter Markers
- No chapter markers on or within 2 seconds of a transition.
- No chapter markers within 2 seconds of the beginning or the end of the movie.
hope this helps

  • Problems with edits in iDVD

    I have a project completed in iMovie and it consists of 3 clips. One with 9 chapters and 2, single chapter clips. I edit out some of the beginning of each of those 2 clips, but when I try to add them to iDVD, the edits do not show and the entire, unedited clip shows instead.
    This is part of a gift for a friend. I converted a PAL DVD to NTSC and that was fine. I created menus and added effects and sound to the menus just fine, but I am having problems with the edits of the clips showing up.

    I am quite sure that the problem is in my terminology, so thanks for your patience.
    I am using the latest versions, with all updates applied, of the iLife '05 suite.
    As a video newbie, this has been quite an undertaking for me, so let me backtrack a bit. I have a PAL DVD that I ripped three titles from - the main feature, an interview and preview of another DVD - using Mac the Ripper. I then used Handbrake to convert them from PAL to NTSC and they were saved as .MP4 files. These are the raw, unedited files that I brought into iMovie by dragging and dropping them into the grid on the right side of the main iMovie screen.
    I dragged the first unedited file - the main feature - to the bottom of the main window. I marked that with chapters and dragged it back to the grid. I then took the second file - the interview - and made some edits to the beginning and ending points and the dragged it back up to the grid. Same thing with the third file which is a preview.
    I then opened iDVD and dragged the files from the media folders which I now know is incorrect.
    To correct this, I took my three edited files, dragged them in the order I wanted them to be in to the timeline on the bottom of the iMovie screen. I added new chapter marks for the interview and preview files, then and started my iDVD project using the "share" option from the "file" menu.
    That seems to be cleared up, and now my edits are showing, but now, when I start the iDVD part of the project, it splits the "chapter select" menu into two different screens and adds the two "featurettes" to that.
    I want to have it set up like this -
    Main Menu - Play All, Chapter Select, and Special Features
    Chapter Select - shows chapters 1 through 9 to choose from.
    Special Features - shows "Interview" and "Preview" to choose from.
    I don't seem to know how to get the interview and preview to show up as selections from the "special features" menu that I created. The only way I could do this is to drag the raw files into iDVD, but then I lose my edits.

  • Quicktime File with Chapters to iDVD?

    I was getting "multiplexing" errors with a particular iDVD project that I imported from iMovie 6 so I thought I would export the project as a full Quicktime file and then drag the Quicktime file into iDVD. Will the chapter markers still show up in iDVD?

    Hi
    My list on *Multiplexing Error*
    PART One.
    Use of strange video/audio material eg .avi, .wmv, .mp3 etc.
    I only use.
    Video - StreamingDV (miniDV tape via FireWire) and
    Audio = .aiff (as on audio-CDs) (else coverted to this .aff 48KHz)
    Using strange letters in video project name eg +,/; etc. keep to a-z and 0-9
    strange letters in project name eg +
    as described by Donnyboy69. Does the title of your project have any symbols or decimal points in it. If so, that is why you are getting the error. I had a project that had a + sign which caused the same problem. I renamed it without the symbol and low and behold, it worked.
    PART Two.

    "Multiplexing Error. Problem during initialization of tracks"
    Simply remember to add subtitles to your Quicktime files and menu buttons.
    Once I did that, I was back in business.

    Do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on grey background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
    I always makes a DiskImage first and test this so that it runs OK
    I use only - Verbatim DVDs
    I use only - DVD-R
    I burn at an as slow speed possibly eg x1
    This gives good DVDs

    Back again. Here is what I have found to work. I also have and use a LaCie DVD-R/RW DL external drive and a LaCie external hard drive as well. Since yesterday I have tried a few ways to burn a themed iDVD project having four 56 minute movies on it, amounting to 226 minutes onto a DVD DL disc, capacity 240 minutes. Apple tech support really didn't know what to do but gave me a very good tip. I had two options left. Apple tech support's tip was to try disc image. One of the replies on a thread with this subject said not to, but my experience today is good. Put your project onto "Burn to disc image," under "iDVD, file." Yesterday encoding took me 23 1/2 hours. Overnight for iDVD disc image, encoding took 21 1/2 hours (again) while I slept. This morning I tried to copy/burn disc image to a DVD with Roxio Toast 7, and it stopped near the end of the burn with some kind of "error" message. So then I tried Utilities> Disc Utility> Burn icon, and followed it through. Be sure to click the DVD DL drive in the window "Burn disc in.". I had one other problem though. At the end of a 46 minute copy, it started to verify, and at the end of verify it rejected the burn. So I tried again, and when "verify" appeared, I clicked on "Skip." The disc finished burning and is doing fine and well. A long and tortuous process, but at last something works. I made several additional copies using Disc Utility. Best wishes. Chuck, Chicago.
    2. Disconnect any other external devices not absolutly needed.
    eg external USB/USB2 hard disks, other FW hard disks etc.

    (Not a 'guy' but I will answer!)
    First, I do not think that mixing widescreen and standard makes a difference in iDVD.
    Second, you should use a better brand of DVD disk. Also, many of us have experienced fewer problems on playback with DVD-R disks. Recommended brands here are Verbatim, Maxell and Taio Yuden. Memorex and TDK are not consistent and may not give you a correct burn. They apparently have fewer layers in the composition of the disk. I have always used Verbatim DVD-R disks and have not had any burn problems.
    Also, choose a slower burn speed, 4x or less.
    Third, to determine if the iDVD project will burn properly, create a disk image file (from within iDVD, go File->Save as Disk Image) and test it. Mount the disk image and then open DVD Player (in Applications) and view your project. If it plays correctly, you can then burn the actual DVD disk from the disk image file using Disk Utility.

    I did everything I've seen suggested, but a friend (who used to be an Apple Genius) suggested that I do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on grey background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
    It worked, and I got a clean burn from iDVD.
    Hopefully this can help other people.
    by dheb0422
    Well, I finally got it, and it was odd enough to post here incase anyone looks this topic up again. Many things were tried, including burning the uneditited film, the edited film without titles and chapter markers, abbreviating the chapter markers in case length was the issue (remember the old iMovie used to truncate them when moving to iDVD?). In the process, I noticed that one, and only one, chapter marker was on the same line as the title marker. All the others were on the line above. The only way I seemed able to change that was to clip a few seconds of film. After that last clip, the offending marker took a place on the line above, as were all the others. That run published, compiled completely and burned. That's one for the books.

  • Problem with Imovie and IDVD 16:9 aspect ratio

    I've recently converted to a mac. The main reason for this was to take advantage of the superior video / dvd editing capabilities. However, I have hit upon a problem with the aspect ratio of the final video.
    I have connected my video camera (a sony DCR-HC42E PAL which is in theory 16:9 aspect ratio) and imported the DV tape into iMovie. It recognised that this is a DV widescreen (i.e. 16:9)movie and imports the video and then "letterboxes" the video for some time. In the clips window it then shows each clip as it should in a widescreen mode.
    I have created a final video then exported this to iDVD for burning to a disc. When it arrives in iDVD it is however elongated - i.e. 4:3 aspect ratio.
    Is there any way of avoiding this / working around this problem?
    I understand that my camera may not be videoing 16:9 but rather 4:3 then converting it itself - but in previous windows environment this was fine and the pre-loaded free windows movie maker software managed to cope with this - can a mac?

    Brilliant!
    Thank you very much. I've spent the last 4 hours trying to solve this and also spent a good half hour on to apple care, not even their "teir 2" imovie experts in san fransisco could solve this problem - you are a star!!!!!
    I was just about to throw the mac through the window and revert to windows - you have restored the faith!
    I've done as you said (although the "auto pillerboxing tick is in "import" tab (not general) on my version 6.0.3 of imovie!) The movie has appeared in 16:9 format as suggested.
    I would also comment that for general information, I pressed on with the higer frame setting and edited the full movie with the wrong setting on the macbook all the way through which looked weird - then burned a dvd via idvd and used the 16:9 setting as you suggested and the final video looked fine - therefore, the only place where the movie is incorrect was on the mac screen.
    Overall I would agree that this is definatly a imovie "glitch". Thanks again.

  • Having trouble with chapters in iDVD

    To start off, I have searched the forums and haven't had luck finding the answer to this particular question, although I'm sure it's been asked before.
    I'm using FotoMagico to create slideshow movies of my vacations. I'd like to use iDVD to create one DVD that includes four separate vacations. For each vacation, I've created a Submenu that I intend to be the chapters (days) for each vacation. Rather than making one movie with separate chapters for each vacation, I made separate movies for each day. I put them into the chapter selection submenu and each plays fine within iDVD. The problem is that if I hit the chapter skip button it takes me back to the submenu. It really doesn't recognize these as chapters.
    I'm pretty new to iDVD so maybe there's something obvious I'm missing. Should I be making a single movie with embedded chapter markers then bringing that one movie into iDVD? If I do that, will iDVD recognize the chapter markers so they show up individually in the chapter selection submenu?
    Hopefully I've explained this adequately; I want to make a DVD that looks like every other one I've ever rented - main menu with chapter selections on a submenu. I can 'jump' to any chapter from the submenu but then skip from chapter to chapter once it starts playing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Keep in mind that if you make the 4 movies into one then iDVD6 will play all of your vacations as one feature length and not stop until it reaches the very end.
    Not sure if you want this to happen or not. It sounds like the one full length movie approach won't really meet your stated objective ..... unless you just want to have iDVD run the entire vacation spectrum and then rely on the chapter markers to locate the start point for each of the 4 presentations. Is that what you want?

  • Problems with quality in iDVD

    I've been trying to burn a DVD using iDVD. I created a several videos in iMovie HD at 720p Quality. All of them look great in iMovie and are excellent quality when exported to .mov files, but when I place these iMovie projects (or the .mov files) into iDVD and burn them, the quality is dropped substantially. The size of the imported video is 2005 pixels by 1504 pixels in H.264 codec before it is imported into iMovie, and the quality from source file to iMovie is essentially the same. I've changed the quality to professional in iDVD and this has done nothing to the quality
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be incredibly helpful. Thanks!

    Mike,
    I had the same problem. I still have not been able to burn DVD's with iDVD even close to the same quality as the iMovie project looks, or even how the iDVD project looks.
    Here's my work-around:
    Instead, I first save the iDVD project to a disc image. I then use disk utility to burn the DVD. The quality of the burned DVD is significantly better when done this way-- in my experience anyways.
    Here's what to do:
    In iDVD, go to File>Save as Disc Image...
    After you have created the disc image on the desktop, then open up Disc Utility.
    Next, follow the instructions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2087 which I have pasted below:
    Disk Utility (Mac OS X 10.3 or later)
    Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder (/Applications/Utilities).
    If the disk image you want to use doesn't appear in the list, drag its icon to the Disk Utility window.
    Select the disk image and click Burn.
    Insert a blank CD or DVD into your computer's optical drive and follow the onscreen prompts.
    Disk Copy (Mac OS X 10.0 through 10.2.8)
    Open Disk Copy in the Utilities folder (/Applications/Utilities).
    From the File menu, choose Burn Image. Don't open the disk image file before choosing this command.
    A navigation dialog appears. Locate and select the disk image file.
    Click Burn.
    When prompted, insert a blank disc into the optical media drive.
    Click Burn.
    Depending on your computer's settings, the drive will eject the disc, or it will appear on the desktop when the burn is successfully completed.
    Note: When burning a disc from a disk image, the burned disc will have the same format as the disk image. If you need a disc that will work on different computers, burn the disc in the Finder.
    I hope this helps.
    Regards,
    John

  • Importing video with chapters into iDVD

    I'm editing a video of a concert and trying to separate the different pieces into chapters. I used iMovie 10.0.4 on my computer running 10.9.4 to edit, and added markers, then tried using iDVD 7.1.2 on an older computer running 10.7.5 to create the menus and burn the disc. Then I discovered that the "marker" option in iMovie doesn't actually create a chapter. I tried a couple freeware programs to add chapters so that iDVD would recognize the different scenes, but no matter what I try, when I drag the video onto the "Chapters" submenu I've created in iDVD, it shows the entire video only, and not the individual chapters.
    I don't have the budget to buy Final Cut Pro or Toast or any other fancy programs, but I'm thinking of trying "Thinker DVD Creator Pro" from the App Store, which is $20. Anybody have experience with this one?
    I'm writing here to ask for tips, tricks, or wisdom from people who have done this stuff before and have a preferred program or workaround. Please let me know if there are any more tech specs or details I should give.
    Thanks!
    Amelia

    Hi
    I used iMovie 10.0.4 on my computer
    It doesn't have - Chapter mark function.
    Apple's idea of upgrade - is in some cases - taking away functions. There was a way round this by importing Movie into GarageBand and setting Chapters here. But GarageBand was also UPGRADED
    So using Toast etc will not help - iMovie'13 (version 10.0.x) can not do this.
    I would rather use
    - iMovie'11 (version 9.0.x) - or
    - FinalCut - any version (that might work on Your Mac)
    Yours Bengt W

  • Having problems with chapters

    I have a QT movie that I have edited together using 17 separate movies. I followed the QT Guide word-for-word and added chapter tracks so that the viewer could skip to each "separate" movie. Two problems: first, several of the chapter names have been left out in the chapter list and replaced by duplicate versions of other chapter names (for example, the first chapter shows up correctly, but then it is listed as the second chapter again) even though the chapters work correctly as far as skipping to the correct time. My other problem is that after performing a "Save As..." command, when I reopen the file the chapter listings do not appear.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    G4/350 Powermac+G4/550 Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Kyn, I will try Hootenanny when I make it home this evening. And I think you have a good point about exporting the movie separately. After I edited all the movies together I just did a "Save As..." rather than exporting it so that the movie is one whole piece. Perhaps that is the source of my problem.
    Kirk, per the QT Guide I disabled the chapter text track (otherwise the text displays). I see your point about it not saving by disabling it, but how do I reconcile that need with what Apple recommends to make the text not show up in the movie?
    Thanks...

  • Problem with chapters playing when i dont want them to

    OK let me explain what I have going here. I have 4 timelines for seperate videos in my project. Each has a motion button on the main menu that will play each one independantly and then return to the main menu and a "play it all" button the will play them in order. Ok all that works fine except for one thing. I want to video that shows in my thumbnails on the main menu to be a seperate video than what is actually in the feature DVD so after searching the forum I found a solution that is working. What I did was to take the video I wanted to use for the thumbnails and add that to the end of each timeline as a new chapter and then added a poster frame to control what showed in the thumbnail.
    So to review.....each timeline had two chapters one that I want to show in the feature DVD and one that I do not.
    By using the end actions oneach of the first videos in each timeline I can get the DVD to play from the beginning and skip the video I dont want seen. However, .....and here is the reason for my post FINALLY....when i use the chapter skip on the preview it of course skips to the video I dont want shown.....the last video on each timeline. So instead of having 4 chapters I now have 8....4 of each i would like to not be accessable at all.
    Any way to to what I am wanting to do which essentially is tell Encore to skipthose chapters on the chapter skip button on the player??
    thanks for any help in advance!!!!!!!!!!!

    Unfortunately not, if you are using that workaround. I can offer two suggestions:
    1. Create your entire motion menu background (including the thumbnail animations) in Premiere or After Effects, then use that as a background video on your menu that is set up with buttons containing
    only subpicture layers (no other layers, including thumbnail layers).
    2. Keep your current workaround and add user operations to the timeline so that Next/Previous chapter navigation is prohibited.

  • Help please ~ sound problems with menus in iDVD

    I launch iDVD from within iMovie. Then I start to personalise the menus.
    But the menu screens although showing the chapters only give a loop duration of between 00:00 and 13:30 seconds.
    Every time whenever I import QuickTime dv. files (made in iDVD 5 to avoid the dreaded rise in volume at the end) the sound in iDVD is grotesquely distorted.
    Each of the QuickTime dv. movies last 10 seconds.
    I don't know what I'm doing wrong! Please help!!

    Thanks John Beatty of Maryland for responding. But I think I'll need to post my question again in hopes that someone else will recognise my difficulty.
    I was hoping for a solution.
    The distortion in audio occurs during the process of DESIGNING my DVD ~ I don't get as far as previewing.
    It's only occurring in one screen (or menu). Although my QuickTime dv. file lasts only 10 seconds (in this case) and should therefore fit within a 13 and a half second limit, it shouldn't be offering me such a short time frame ~ normally it's quite a bit more ~ 51 seconds, is it? ~ and you move the slider back to the time you require for the dv. movie to loop.
    But thanks anyway, John. Someone else might recognise my difficulty.

  • IDVD 08 - problem with scene selection tabs not working after "burn"

    I have a movie that is about an hour long (made in iMovie08 using mostly still photos). I wanted to have "chapters" -- but with that option gone, I used the Scene Selection option in iDVD08. This created menus with 15 scene selection buttons (I chose every 4 minutes). The menus were automatically created by iDVD and I did nothing to change them, except to type in scene info (two-three words).
    The buttons all worked fine on the computer, and I burned a DVD. The DVD worked great in my VCR player. I'd select Play Movie and it would go. I'd select Scene Selection and I'd get the menus for that. But when I'd highlight one of the scene selections and "enter" (select) -- it wouldn't go to that scene. I could go back and forth between menus, and could move around and highlight the scene buttons, but selecting would not start the scene to play. The movie played fine from start to finish, and the other remote features worked (stop, pause, menu, etc.).
    I went back to iDVD and chose a different theme (thinking maybe I'd inadvertently done something to mess things up. The only thing I did differently in addition to the new theme, was to add two small movie clips - and I rearranged the buttons on the menu (dragging) to get them positioned where I wanted them. So my first menu says "Play Movie". The second menu has: Play Movie, Scene Selections, Little Movie 1, Little Movie 2. Everything worked greated in iDVD. Then I created a disk image to view using DVD Player (rather than waste another DVD). Same problem -- only worse. This time I couldn't even highlight Scene Selection to get to the scenes' menus.
    Any thoughts on why I'm not able to get the "Scene Selection" buttons to work after a burn? Am I missing a step somewhere in iDVD?
    Thanks.

    I am not sure, but does your post concerning the problem, that all Remote Control function will work properly within iDVD'08 but after burning the DVD absolutely not with the RC of your set top DVD player connected to your TV?
    If this is it:
    Meanwhile I could figure out - after many nights of not been very productive and only working out on all the iDVD'08 problems - that **ALL** of the *7.0 Themes* have a major problem in generally.
    The following points are concerning iDVD'08 using any of the 7.0 Themes:
    - Complete deep freeze of your Mac under Leopard when rendering/coding/burning a movie which has chapters and you use movies instead of still images in drop zones. (LeopardiDVD087.0Themes)
    - Functions on remote control of your set top DVD player are not working correctly when making a movie with chapters. This is generally on Tiger and Leopard the same problem using iDVD08 with any of the 7.0 Themes.
    Quick and dirty workaround:
    You may avoid this if you simply use a 6.0 Theme or lower version of the Themes.
    But this is of course not the clue...
    It is VERY DISAPPOINTING, having software at such a low quality level deliverd by Apple. And somehow it looks like they DO NOTHING against it. No statement, no excuse, they really remain silent.
    This may also be a thread you could be interested in:

  • Problem with "Pass Through Chapters" Theme

    I was searching old post to get some help and this one help a little but there was still one problem unanswered. I have highlighted in red;
    Nov 14, 2008 3:41 PM Re: Pass Through Theme problem
    Re: Pass Through Theme problemin response to Glo H
    My smaller text which appears in white says Scenes 1-6. The pass through text which is larger and has a different image in it says "Pass Through Chapters" and it rolls by while the smaller text stays put. I notice the image that shows through the pass through text is the same image I set on the main DVD screen. On that one my name of my disc roll past in giant see through letters. I like that but I just don't want that same effect on my chapters screens.
    Can the image behind the rolling text be changed to the current window and not the main menu image?

    Thanks for the tip and figured out to delete my "Scenes 1-6" that was automatically created when, in iMovie, I shared the movie to iDVD with chapters. The menu title text block doesn't like cut/paste and I had to retype the "Scenes 1-6" text for the motion/peek-through scrolling text to refresh.
    Hmmm, but how tricky is that and where is it mentioned in the help/faq files etc?
    cheers

  • Exporting From FCE to IDVD With Chapters How long

    Exporting From FCE to IDVD With Chapters How long will the DVD hold??? if i have an hour and 40 minutes of HD footage all cut together with FCE and has been saved as a movie file, how many hours will IDVD let me burn to it?
    if i run over the allowed amount will it say i need to drop quality, i am editing loads at the moment and dont want to get to the end and it come up with an error message. also will idvd include the chapter markers if i export with them?

    Sure, no problem.
    1. Go to Project > Project Info in iDVD.
    2. Make sure "DVD Type" is set to a single-layer DVD.
    3. Under "Encoding," choose "Best Performance." Is the arrow solidly in the green portion of the quality bar? If so, go ahead and burn your disc.
    4. If not, choose "High Quality." Again, go ahead and burn your disc if the arrow is solidly in the green.
    3. If the arrow still isn't in the green, select Professional Quality. If the arrow's in the green, burn your disc. If not, you'll have to delete some of the menus (scene selection, etc.) or menu content and check again. You should be able to burn up to 2 hours if you don't have a lot of other menu content.

  • Sound problems with film made in iMovie when burned to DVD in iDVD

    PLEASE HELP!!!
    I have upgraded to iLife 09 and for all the bad that people have to say, I actually like it a lot. Anyway, it gave me the encouragement I needed to play with some old home movies I had stored with the aim of producing DVDs to give to my friends, and hopefully showing off the slick production values I have come up with.
    So after spending a week getting to grips with iMovie and editing an old holiday film with all the cuts, transitions, chapter markers and music etc that I wanted, I ended up with an hour long movie that I was happy with.
    Then to iDVD. After trying out all sorts of ways to go from iMovie to iDVD to ensure the best quality, I have finally given up trying to replicate the on screen quality of the movie in iMovie with the finished DVD, and just opted for the easy to use 'share to iDVD' option. The quality is not great, but then the footage is old anyway so not too much of an issue.
    Then I spend another few days playing with and learning iDVD and again end up with a finished product that I am happy with, with nice looking menu's and a slideshow etc.
    So I come to burn the final DVD, for which I pick the 'Professional burn' option which takes 4 hours but I am happy to wait if it means the best quality possible, and my DVD is done.
    I then play the DVD to discover my problem - the sound in the movie is not right. To explain further, in my movie I have reduced the sound of some of the film clips to nothing and placed music over the top. When played and previewed in iMovie it works fine - the music plays and the sound that is attached the the video does not. When previewed in iDVD it works fine - just as I had edited it in iMovie. But then when I burn the DVD, some of these sounds are present again which completely wastes all my hard work at the editing stage.
    I have searched and searched for help on this but am unable to find any.
    Sorry for the very long description and story behind my issue, but it is massively frustrating. Basically, at some point during the 'burn to DVD' stage in iDVD it decides to completely ignore most of the sound edits I have made on the movie in iMovie.
    If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Many thanks. Looking at that thread it looks like there are a few others having the same issue as me. Might be to do with not using the predetermined rates for clip slowdown and inputting my own.
    The frustrating thing is that I have only done this once right at the start of my hour long movie and if I change it now it with though the timing of my whole film out.
    Not much else I can do though I suppose.
