Programs to create DVD covers

I have some old movies I am organizing. I have put them on DVD, but now I want to create a cover for it (to slip into the plastic standard DVD case). I can't seem to find anything to use.
I looked at Photoshop, and it was like Greek to me.
I am new to Macs, so any help is appreciated. Thanks!

How to create dvd covers?

Few months back i had my twins and were busy making their video, last week i burn the their videos on movie and would like to create dvd covers. I found out my office system have photoshop cs4.
My question is, how can i create dvd covers with cs4? Where little bit i can do customize the covers with title names or twins pictures. I did google but not much find on this topic. Thought i would ask official adobe forum where people are there to help newbee.
I would be highly apperciate your help.

Bobby,
I am not aware of any tutorials on this, but there are probably many out there. [Edit] As John pointed out down thread.
My advice would be to gather up some blank paper, scissors, a ruler and pen. Create a New Image to the dimensions of an existing DVD insert at the ppi/dpi of your printer (probably around 200 - 240). Create a new Layer and turn the Grid on, with Snap to Grid on. Using your ruler, and maybe the pen to draw out the elements (front cover, back cover and spine), use the Pen Tool to recreate this layout. Choose Stroke Work Path (Path's Palette) to get guidelines. Remember to set your Pencil Tool and color before you Stroke Path so you can see your lines, in a color that will be obvious. This will be your layout and your "template," and should be Saved to a handly location on your system. Maybe even make a copy of it elsewhere, in case you forget to d a Save_As, when you start editing. You can even make notes to yourself as to orientation for each panel, etc. I'd put these layout items in a separate Layer Set for ease in the next operation. Take a look at your 8.5 x 11 paper (if that is what you'll print to) and lay your sample DVD insert over it to determine where you'll want your Crop Marks. I'd probably choose two sides, if you can print borderless, and then draw in the other two sides with a thin Stroke on another Layer. This one WILL be left ON, when you print, so you can take to them with the scissors.
Open your "template" and leave visibility ON for that Layer Set. Do your image and text work, based on that layout. During this process, you can turn OFF your Text Layers, with your "instructions" and annotations, to keep your view clean. When done, turn OFF visibility for the layout Layer Set, and send your image to your printer. Trim that output and insert it. Does it work? If not, modify the layout.
If you have a lot of different cases, do one for each and name accordingly. The secret is when you Open that template, immediately do a Save_As with your Project's name, as you do NOT was to Save over your template. That is why I suggested making a copy of each elsewhere - "stuff" happens. For most of my templates, I set their attributes to Read Only, and just click out of the warning message about having to Save with another name.
Good luck, and if I do find a tutorial, I'll post for you. Also, there may well be premade templates for common DVD cases, however as there are several, yours might/might not fit those. That is why I do them as I need them.

Can you create DVD covers in Pages?

If pages doesnt have any DVD cover templates for DVD covers, is there any inexpensive software suitable for Apple?

You don't really need software to make CD/DVD covers & labels. I have a CD Stomper & I think I tried their software back in OS 9. Other than clip art there isn't anything that you can't do in Pages. I've done mine for years in AppleWorks & just haven't moved it to Pages yet. Because I don't always use the same brand of labels, I just scan in the template sheet that comes with the labels & put that in my document to show me where the edges are.
There are a couple of labeling programs available for the Mac, but their names escape me at the moment. You could always do a search on MacUpdate or
VersionTracker.

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.

Will iDVD Disk Image work for creating DVD's on PC

I created a disk image of video that I have made DVD's from. I want to send the disk image to friends to create DVD's but they have PC's. Is there a way for them to use that disk image to make CD's? What programs would they use? etc.

Hi Parrish Jones
Welcome to apple discussions. The good news is that a disc image burned through iDvd is identical in content to the finished dvd. So if your friend can use the video_ts folder to create a new dvd (on his choice of PC Dvd burning software) then there shouldn't be a problem. At worst you may have to first provide him/her with a burned iDvd rather than the disc image (depending on weather or not s/he can read said image on a PC).
I personally use Roxio Toast to burn the disc image to Dvd-R. And Roxio also make a PC version of this software called Roxio Creator. Although I've read the PC version for Windows Vista isn't nearly as good as the Mac version. (why I don't know).
http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/creator/system-requirements.html
Most folks who run Windows Vista / burn Dvd's on a pc do not necessarily use Roxio products as opposed to Nero or CDBurnerXP (and there are other alternatives also listed below for the PC).
http://cdburnerxp.se/download.php
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/the-best-free-alternatives-to-nero-cddvd-burner/
Your choice (or rather your friend's choice).
Other helpful link/s for your mac when using apple's disc utility rather than Toast:

Hope the above links help but if not just come on back. And good luck.

Receive 'runtime error: Unknown exception' w/99% processed when creating DVD from movie

Hi,
I have tried several times to create a DVD of a movie with several Scene (w/Stop) Markers only to receive 'runtime error: Unknown exception' with 99% completion.
I'm using Adobe Premiere Element 11 ver 11.0 (20120901.B261.425551).
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate w/SP1 on a Dell XPS M1530 w/4GB Memory
I have created DVDs in the past with little or no problems.
Would appreciate any help with my problem.
Thanks...

Harry
Thanks for the additional information.
Typically, if you are doing a multi movie Timeline and you want the viewer to be able to navigate to a specific movie followed by return to main menu, then:
Main Menu Marker at beginning of movie 1 and Stop Marker at end of movie 1....then gap of at least 12 frames...Main Menu Marker at beginning of movie 2 and Stop Marker at end of movie 2....and so on. But for the last, remember no Stop Marker at the end of that last Movie on the Timeline.
With those 25 .mts video clips, are you sure that you want or need all those return to main menu possibilities.... a scene marker at the beginning of each and a stop marker at the end of each for a return to menu after each of the 25 video clips? Especially if these are small video clips.
Large project...
Keep in mind that the DVD disc 4.7 GB/120 minutes is in reality 4.3 GB capacity. So as you can tell my the program's lowering of the Bitrate (8.00 to 7.97 Mbps), the program is trying to make the fit by lowering the bitrate. Depending on how your troubleshooting goes, you may want to start thinking about DVD Double Layer Disc (8.5 GB/240 min) if your project gets much larger. In the case of the DVD double layer, 8.5 GB is in reality 7.3 GB. Typically, lower the Bitrate, the lesser is the Quality of the end product. So you do not want to force the program to lower the Bitrate to low to make the fit.
As for the Timeline - + slider to which I referred...
In the above screenshot, please note in the right side of the Premiere Elements 11 Timeline (Expert view)...from left to right at that location,
the Render Button
the icon named "Fit to Visible Timeline
the icon named Zoom Out ( - ) which is related to the slider to its right
the icon named Zoom In ( +) which is related to the slider to its left
That slider is moved by either of those icons or by moving the circular button of the slider with the mouse curser.
We will be watching for further developments.
Thanks.

Can I use a software of Adobe for creating CD covers having installed Adobe CS5 on my MacBook Pro?

Can I use a software of Adobe for creating CD covers having installed Adobe CS5 on my MacBook Pro?

If I go to a copy shop to print the covers (double-sided for a slim case of DVD) it would make sense to have two covers on one page in A4 and they should be on the right place so that the two backsides of the covers are at the back of the front of the covers printing the page in A4 double sided.
Is this possible to do that if I choose the right size of the covers and save the picture (in jpeg or better as pdf file)?

For large amounts of text Photoshop is not the best choice.
But you can certainly create Type Layers – select the Type Tool (T) and create Point Text by clicking onto the Canvas or Paragraph Text by click-dragging on the Canvas.

Creating DVD menus in Encore CS4

I have only very briefly experimented with trying to create a DVD menu for my Premier Pro CS4/Encore CS4 projects. I must say I have found it not at all intuitive.
Can anyone please:
1: Recommend a nice clear tutorial on how to create DVD menus in PPro CS4/Encore CS4
and/or:
2: Recommend a nice simple not-too-costly programme with which I can create DVD menus from my PPro CS4/Encore CS4 projects.
The menus which come with Encore seem pretty naff, too. If anyone can recommend some simple software which has nicer ones I'd be grateful.
Thanks all!

Unless PSE 9 has changed things, the big limitation in using Photoshop Elements is that it cannot create the Button Layer Sets, but can edit them, from the Library Menus. Photoshop has no such limitation.
I do not know if GIMP can do the Menus, but it is often recommended as a free alternative for PS. As I have PS, I have not even seen that program in decades.
One additional source for pre-made Menus is Muvipix. These are free to subscribers, and for sale to non-subscribers. Also, they are done as PrE Menu Sets, but can be broken down and modified to function as stand-alone Menus for Encore.
There is a source for pre-made Menus, in the UK, but last time I checked they were heavily weighted to weddings.
Personally, I just start with a Library Menu, and modify/build what I need in PS.
Good luck,
Hunt

Need help getting Artwork for making quality dvd covers

Hi Everybody,
I want to make dvd covers for animated movies.

I am really sorry if i have posted this in some wrong area.
thanks

How difficult is it for you to do a google image search for large images of this subject?
While you appear to be doing this project for an educational endeavour and can get away with mild copyright abuse as "fair use", you probably should not expect the participants in this forum to 1) work for Disney either as a direct employee or as a contractor and 2) offer their copyrighted work for free.
If you really want to impress a teacher and a future employer, you would use your own art. Why dont you create your own movie concept? Suppose you and your classmate are up for the same employment position. Who do you think will get hired if you show work that is not all your own, while your classmate has produced all of his/her own work?

CREATING DVDs WITH RESCUE AND RECOVERY 4.3

I note an option "Create a backup to CDs/DVDs in RnR. Does this option produce a set of bootable disks which is equivalent to factory rescue disks but which also contains my installed programs? In other words, does it create an image of the fully installed HDD which can be restored in future?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
in case this is (as you said) directly in the RnR GUI, then this is the option, which will create a full backup of the current state of your system on CD/DVDs. To the answer is YES.
Regarding your second question:
These DVD's that you will create will not behave like the original DVDs. In case you will recover the whole system using these newly created DVD's then the procedure will be a bit different then the one, that is used by the original Recovery DVD'.
However, the basic is still that same:
- you bootup from the first DVD, make few "clicing" and the application will do the rest.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Cheers

Program for creating a model is locked by User

Hi Guys,
We have created a process chain to create the Integration Model and to activate the Integration Model using this prg RIMODGEN. So, This prg we have created variants for different location wise. This process chain contains 13 processes For each location, which is running in parallel. Some time we are getting the error message " Program for creating a model is locked by User
Regards

Dear Pullaiah,
Locking happens if there is any overlap of models or duplicate scheduling of jobs with same variant.
See include LCIFIF01
CALL FUNCTION 'ENQUEUE_ECIF_IMOD'
EXPORTING
    mode_cif_imod = 'E'
    modelname      = i_modid
    logsys         = i_logsys
    apoapp         = i_appl
EXCEPTIONS
    foreign_lock   = 1
    system_failure = 2
    OTHERS         = 3.
So this means for you, you get the lockentry if the modelname, logsys and apoapp is the same. So please check again your variants if there is one with the same integrationmodels.
This can be the only reason we you get here this entry in your joblog.
Regards,
Tibor

Is there a way to create DVD chapters in iDVD?

Is there a way to create DVD chapters in iDVD? I don't see any options for it in iDVD. Also, I don't want to have to import all the footage back into imovie. Thanks

So, what if iDVD 7.1.2 doesn't recognize the chapters from iMovie 10.0.5?
Apple has removed the ability to create chapters in iMovie 10
I use iMovie 06 to do this. It works perfectly with Mavericks, as does iDVD. You can purchase iMovie on disk as part of iLife 06, readily available on Amazon and eBay.
It's quite shocking that another feature has been removed from the once mighty iMovie.

User Exit to call program to create IDocs.

Hi All,
For any creation/changes of material master using MM01/MM02 (after save ) one of the user exit will trigger.
From the user exit, I have to call the custom program to create MATMAS IDOCs.
if any failures in changes/creation of material master. It has to roll back eveything created by program.
Please let me know how to achieve this with out calling an event.
Thanks - Vinay

There are a number of standard methods to automatically create the IDOC. You can activate the change pointers and depending on need, use BD64 to create a distribution model, and create the necessary WE20 setups to create the outbound IDOC.
If you have to process the IDOC using custom logic, you can define that as well - although it's not clear why you need a custom generating program. You can insert code into one of the IDOC user-exits to manipulate the content if needed. Also, don't overlook the pre-delivered stuff from SAP that provides filtering out of segments and the like.
There are a few good SAP PRess books about doing ALE distribution -- if this is an unfamiliar area, it's worth the cost to buy one -- if you spend any time around IDOCS, you'll appreciate it.

ABAP Program to Create TRs in SOLMAN

Currently, we are creating TRs through SOLMAN_WORKCENTER transaction. It is being done manually by going to 'Change management' Tab in 'SOLMAN_WORKCENTER'->'PROJECTS'(QGATE Project not CHARM)-> TR is being created for a specific project using 'Create Transport Request' button.
I was wondering, whether this process can be automated, so that developers can directly create a TR, through a web application or email. The frontend application will be creating TR in backend in SOLMAN after some validations.
I'm trying to write an ABAP program to create TRs in backend in SOLMAN, following the same process, which is being followed now using SOLMAN_WORKCENTER. This program will be called by the frontend application. This way developers can create a TR, without having direct access to SOLMAN.
I tried to use CL_CTS* classes, but it's not working. Kindly suggest some BAPIs or classes available for it.
If anybody has already worked in development of a similar solution, kindly share the technical knowhow. Also, please let me know any solutions from SAP available for it.
Thanks in advance for your help....

Thanks a lot for responding Guilherme.....
But, we wanted to add our own validations as per our standards like naming convention of TRs, project to be used etc...
Otherwise, the TRs created by developers in an incorrect approach, will be very hard to manage.
That's why I was looking for an ABAP code to create a TR in SOLMAN_WORKCENTER, so that we can add our own validations to it before creating the TR. If the validations fail, it should't create the TR.
Using the webdynpro link for SOLMAN_WORKCENTER as suggested, some of the functionalities can be controlled by authorizations maybe. But, we'll not able able to add any extra validations required.
