Quality great in imovie, great idvd, terrible when creating a disk image

Help! I've created a 30 minute film with very simple over-black titles, some fades, and a scrolling block of text at the beginning. The quality is great in imovie, great when I 'preview' in idvd, but once I create a disk image - it's blocky, the titles stutter and are choppy - essentially it looks unusable when viewed through the DVD player application.
Any ideas what's going on? I haven't burned it to disc yet, as I wanted to check the disk image.
Assets haven't been previously encoded, and the setting is 'best quality' 'PAL' output.

iDVD's preview uses the raw assets - think of it as being 'for position only'.
but once I create a disk image - it's blocky, the titles stutter and are choppy - the setting is 'best quality' 'PAL' output
Give Best Performance a try.

HT1198 I shared disk space and my iPhoto library as described in this article. When creating the disk image, I thought I had set aside enough space to allow for growth (50G). I'm running out of space. What's the best way to increase the disk image size?

Done. Thank you, Allan.
The sparse image article you sent a link to needs a little updating (or there's some variability in prompts (no password was required) with my OS and/or Disk Utility version), but it worked.
Phew! It would have been much more time consuming to use Time Machine to recover all my photos after repartitioning the drive.

Hi
+130 GB free disk space+ - referes to the internal boot hard disk or external one ?
iDVD can only use the boot drive for it's scratch files - other hard disks of no interest.
Else
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named:
com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort: from Craig: Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.

Idvd wont create a disk image

I am using imovie '09 v. 8.0.6 and idvd v 7.04 which came with ilife '09
As I am still using a PowerPC my future upgrade is limited until I move upgrade intel cpu.
I am trying (without success) to burn a 40 min movie to idvd. The project also includes a 67 photo slideshow, all pictures are around 18mp jpegs. I have 42gb of free disc space before I commence the burn and on the last two attempts, I have had the following problems.
1. idvd wont complete encoding when using Revolution theme. Also, Revolution chapter theme (second screen) will not play audio depsite the inspector showing the audio is enable in the audio drop zone. On my last attempt, on exporting from imovie into idvd, no audio soundtrack in idvd despite the project worked fine within imovie.
2. I feel Revolution theme has a bug whereby audio won't play on the chapter page despite it being enabled in the audio inspector window.
I have deleted my com.apple.idvd.plist file as suggest in other threads (as I understood idvd would then create a new one) but the problem prevails.
I have also repaired all my disk permission through disk utility as also suggested.
Can I reinstall just idvd from my ilife disk and would this affect the integrity of any existing projects? Alternatively has anyone any suggestions on how I may finish the burn to a disk image.
PS All worked well on my last project a few weeks ago.... I have a hunch it's the file size. All suggestions welcome.
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for responding Bengt. Here is the workaround.
Problem:
imovie '09 (8.0.6) looses all soundtrack when sharing to idvdv 7.0.4 plus idvd wouldn't allow creation of a disk image.
Findings:
It would appear all my problems start with the fact my machine - PowerMac G5 1.8ghz dual proc. 4 GB RAM IS NOT sufficient to run imovie '09. Depsite the fact I was able to produce my project in imovie, the problems began as soon as I started to share and burn the project with idvd.
See confirmation of this point from Appleman on this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15443520#15443520
Solution:
1. I copied the imovie project to an external drive connected to my PowerMac G5 via FW800.
Note it is vital you follow this process to copy an imovie project from one drive to another:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/8.0/en/19548.html
This process ensures all links are preserved. This worked perfectly for me and I understand it is the correct way to move imovie 09 projects to other drives.
2. I then disconnected the external Firewire drive connected to my PowerMac and connected it to my MacBook (Intel) to the Firewire drive using FW 400 to 800 cable. After ensuring the drive could be viewed in finder by using the drives mount software, I then loaded imovie '09 on the MacBook.
and the drive then appeared in the imovie project window.
3. Share project to idvd, complete project in idvd by adding a slideshow.
4. Created a disk image in idvd - Note - I saved the idvd project and the disk image back to the external firewire drive given I had 1tb free space.
The problems were (imo) all caused by using an old platform PM G5 non Intel and lack of internal disk space.
Thanks Bengt and Appleman for all your help.

Poor quality exporting from iMovie to iDVD

When I export a dv movie from iMovie to iDVD, the quality drops significantly. A nice clean movie imported from a dv camcorder to iMovie becomes horrible pixelated mess once exported into iDVD and actually burned into a DVD. No matter what quality settings one uses.
It seems like many people experience similar problems, judging by postings (unanswered, as far as I can tell). It also appears that basically everyone using iMovie has this problem, but most people are content with poor quality DVDs, or are they?
Does anyone know why this is so, and if there is any workaround? You know, the simplest way out is to switch to a PC and use one of their standard movie editing software, but isn't Mac supposed to be better for this purpose?

Hi
A.
If You included photos into Your movie and used Share/Export to iDVD. iMovie
asks to render the material = Destructive in two ways:
• Losy iDVD project
• Original iMovie IS HARMED: Photos needs to be re-imported and re-edited.
• Re do the import and editing.
• Close iMovier
• Open iDVD
• Drop iMovie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD
Done.
B.
There are a major difference between a Mac Monitor and a Standard TV (much less
sharpness due to 525 - 625 lines (NTSC or PAL))
I connect my Camera to my Mac (via FW) and analog out to a TV so that I can monitor
the process during iMovie editings. (iMovie preferences set Playback via Camera)

Are there glitches in iMovie or iDVD that would create problems with viewing a finished project on a standard dvd player?

Everytime I render a new project in iMovie and share it with iDVD to produce a video, there always seems to be glitches in the finished project. I have gone back and tried to recreate the slideshow, but have not had a whole lot of luck. I am wondering if I need to delete the iMovie and iDVD applications from the computer??? If I do that will it fix my problem or will I even be able to redownload the programs without having to pay for them again? I have spent more time and $$$ trying to get a viewable disc to burn and am ready to get rid of the computer altogether. Hopefully that will not have to happen, but this is a constant issue that I go through everytime I work on a project. Any suggestions???

Hi
Yes and No.
There are Bugs and ways to make better or Worse DVDs - see if this can help.
There are two "Bugs" (or at least one)
• In iDVD - do not go back to video editing program - if You got Chapters set in Your movie - if You try - then now back in iDVD it will ask You to up-date ==> all Chapters will point to Chapter one. Medicine - create a brand new iDVD Project.
• There MUST NOT BE any Chapter mark set in very beginning of the Movie - or in any transition or within 2 seconds from them.
DVD quality
1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
About double on DL DVDs.
2. Video from
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos and the Ken Burns effect NOT is used. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser ( AND AS MEDIUM - not HD etc as DVD then will suffer in quality ) or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x4 or x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application when burning from a DiskImage.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc). For SD-Video - if HD-material is used I guess that 4 to 5 times more would do.
5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) - DVD-R play’s on more and older DVD-Players
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
(I use JES_Deinterlacer to keep frame per sec. same from editing to the Video-DVD result.)
8. Don’t burn more than three DVDs at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on.
• DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
deliver anything better that this.
HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-Player.
Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
_ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
_ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
_ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
• How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
• Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
• Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
(x4 by some and may be even better)
2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
Region codes.
iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
1 = US
2 = EU

What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
to get this to work I
• Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk
• Use Verbatim DVD-R (absolutely no +/-RW)
• Set down burn speed to x4 - less burn errors = plays on more devices
• No other process running in background as - ScreenSaver, EnergySaver OR TIMEMACHINE etc
• and I'm very careful on what kind of video-codecs, audio file format and photo file formats I use
• and I consider the iDVD Bug - never go back to video-editor to change/up-date - if so Start a brand new iDVD project
• Chapters set as they should - NO one at very beginning and no one in any transition or within 2 sec from it
• Lay-out - Turn on TV-Safe area and keep everything buttons, titles etc WELL INSIDE not even touching it !
Try to break the process up into two stages
• Save as a DiskImage (calculating part)
• Burn from this .img file (burning stage)
To isolate where the problem starts.
Another thing is - Playing it onto a Blu-Ray Player. My PlayStation3 can play BD-disks but not all of my home made DVDs so to get this to work I
• Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk
• Use Verbatim DVD-R (absolutely no +/-RW)
• Set down burn speed to x4 - less burn errors = plays on more devices
• No other process running in background as - ScreenSaver, EnergySaver OR TIMEMACHINE etc
• and I'm very careful on what kind of video-codecs, audio file format and photo file formats I use
• and I consider the iDVD Bug - never go back to video-editor to change/up-date - if so Start a brand new iDVD project
• Chapters set as they should - NO one at very beginning and no one in any transition or within 2 sec from it
• Lay-out - Turn on TV-Safe area and keep everything buttons, titles etc WELL INSIDE not even touching it !
TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
• Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
• No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
• Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
• Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
• Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
• Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show
• No File Vault on - Important
• NO - TimeMachine - during iMovie/iDVD work either ! IMPORTANT
• Lot's of icons on DeaskTop/Finder also slows down the Mac noticeably
• Start a new User-Account and log into this and iMovie get's faster too - if a project is in a hurry
• And let Mac run on Mains - not just on battery

IDVD creating large disk images

I've recently upgraded to iDVD 6 from 5 to solve a bug. The bug's fixed however I have a new problem. I have about 11 short movies which total about 100 minutes. When looking at the project size, it says 3.2 GB. However, when it burns to a disk image, the image is 5.11 GB, obviously too big for a 4.7 GB disk. I've never seen this problem in previous versions and it's really bugging me. Any ideas what's up?

They're all in Quicktime movie format. Maybe that has
something to do with it since I've usually used DV
stream in the past. However, I added up the length of
all 11 movies and it comes to 101:30 minutes, so I
would think it should still work.
Unless you have used LONG clips in menu drop zones, 101 minutes of content should be OK. Have you used movies in any menu drop zones?
You may want to delete the iDVD preference file (com.apple.iDVD.plist) which will be recreated when you start iDVD. Then start a new iDVD project.

Time Machine creates new disk image when backing up but files not visible

When I back up my files (daily) to tan external drive TM creates a new disk image (named laptop) on my desktop (in addition to the image for the external drive named TIme Machine Backups). When I click on the new disk image while it's backing up I see a list of recent backups. However the disk image disappears after completing the back up and the files do not appear in the Star Wars screen - only old back-ups from 2009. How can I access the newest backups?

A disk image labeled Time Machine Backups resides permanently on the desktop
Right-click it, and select +Get Info.+ See what the path is (after +Disk image+ near the top of the General section).
Also the amounts for Capacity and Used.
as a consequence of the repair a sparse bundle (Zero KB) folder was created.
No. That may have been created by the new backup, though.
Also a new "lost +found" folder was created containing several ".emix" files.
Those are email files.
Net, net - same basic problem, can't see the newest backups in the Star Wars screen.
I suspect they're in the disk image.
Do you have any external HDs connected?
Try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

IDVD 6, no audio on disk image or burned DVD

Seems I've just been plagued with this problem as well, and the first time I noticed it was after accepting an upgrade from iDVD 6.02 to iDVD 6.04 as well as a firmware update.
Audio from imported .avi files plays fine in the iDVD preview and even played perfectly on disk images and burned DVDs, but now there is only audio in the video I dropped into a background drop zone, and no audio in the two movies. During a second burn, still no audio in the movies but audio for the first 5 seconds of the loop of the background movie. I should mention, prior to updating, these .avi files were burned perfectly. So this is very erratic.
I used appzapper to remove iDVD 6.04 and reinstalled 6.02, but the problem persists. I'm wondering *if any others have experienced the same issue after some form of "upgrade"*. If there was only some way to revert back to the old firmware I would. A few other updates took place as well, but I can't remember exactly what was done.
Quite ridiculous for updates which are supposed so solve issues, just create them.
Any new fixes for this apparently popular problem? Is there a way to revert back to my old firmware?

Have you updated to QuickTime 7.1.2?
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.)

How can I get a higher quality export from Imovie - QT & iDVD came out bad

The playback on my imovie came out corrupted but it transferred ok to Quick Time and I also burned a DVD but the quality is not very good. Any suggestions on how to get a better version. Please keep in mind that the imovie file is huge - 29Gig and the QT file compressed it down to 350Megs. The whole movie is running around 43 minutes. Any suggesstions are appreciated.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

sorry, dogma, but you compressed your project by a
factor of 1:100, and complain quality... ? did you
use a preset of iM, or did you select any "Expert
Options"?
and hopefully, you didn't try to use that crunched
file for usage in iDVD??
store/save you project in your Movies Folder, launch
iDVD, select from the media bin your project - done.
last questions: is your project set as "mpeg4" or
"dv/NTSC"; did you import from miniDV (what iM is
made for...) or did you use any.. other formats?
happy holidays
Hi - Yep I did use the crunched version for the dvd and have tossed it. I am now transferring a new version from imovie to QT under the pre set of high quality. Since this is the first time I have done a movie I am not sure what settings I would use under expert options - suggestions? I would love to tranfer the imovie right to idvd but at the moment I only have 8G left on my Mac so this would likely be a problem. The movie was exported from a mini DV.

IDVD Freezes when creating new project!?

Hi all,
When I open iDVD, it give me the main screen, I click Create New Project. The window comes up, but it has trouble opening the stuff inside the window, and does the dreaded rainbow ball.. Never comes out of it. I have to force quit it to get out.
-for any ppl who want it.. here is a sample of it freezing useing Activity Moniter. http://home.comcast.net/~samkirsch/iDVD.txt
please help!

Quit iDVD.
Locate a file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and get rid of it. iDVD will create a new one the next time it runs. Empty the trash and run a permission repair using the Disk Utility.
The files can be found here:
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iDVD.plist

Unusual Bug when creating pdf from image files

Hi I have a very mindboggling problem which I cant seem to get my head around.
basically I am trying to create a pdf using a large amount of image files, these images are scans of pages of a book. so I have been trying to create a pdf file from these images, and everytime i try, it all looks ok except for one page which comes up smaller in size than the rest which is a big problem and very unusual. If I change the view of acrobat so that it shows two pages at a time then this is clearly visable where one page is normal and the page next to it is like a third of the size. Ive checked the image file properties for that page and they are more or less the same as the rest, the dimensions of the image file too, but when I add it into a PDF it seems to shrink in size, any ideas as to why? any help would be much appreciated! (and I hope what I said made sense lol )
Thanks
Nav

Hi Davew000
Can you please tell the steps you are doing to create the PDF ?
Thanks,
Tanvi

Created a disk image for a DL disc but no menus appear when it is burnt

I told my iDVD project to 'burn' a DL Disc image and burnt the image with Disk Utility.The iDVD project preview shows all of the required menus etc.. BUT the burnt disc does not, neither does the image file if mounted and opened with DVD player.This is very strange - can anyone shed light on it for me?

Hi Neville Neale
Welcome to apple discussions. Perhaps you inadvertently made an "autoplay dvd." But then again sometimes iDvd will default to Autoplay. Hard to tell without being at the computer in which you authored the dvd. I suggest you launch iDvd and then take a look within Map View. If you happen to see a movie in the very first or top box, then simply select it and hit the Delete key. Now preview the dvd again. Should play as expected with menus and all. But if not just come on back.

Hi
I`m trying to install 11.0.2.3 Grid on OEL6.
Every thing is fine until it prompt to ask where I want to put OCR and VOTING DISK. I choose to put them in ASM. So it prompt another window to ask create ASM DISK GROUP.
In this window there was an area called "add disk". There suppose to be some disks listed in this area to chose. But in my case, nothing here. I can not chose disks to add to ASM DISK GROUP.
Below are descriptions of my installation.
Oracle Grid 11.0.2.3
OEL 6 as the platform.
I use two nodes mounting the same NFS. I created some zero-padded files on the NFS directory as the ASM DISKS. (This disks should be showing the the area above)
I install everything using only one account oracle. The group is oinstall and dba

Well as i see your asm_diskstring could be the problem. ASMlib would have been there isnt it , I would want you to stick to default value and then try also I would suggest you to once post the output of the following and lets see whats happening
[root@ora ~]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm scandisks
[root@ora ~]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
[root@ora ~]# ls -ltr /dev/oracleasm/disks/*

Quality great in imovie, great idvd, terrible when creating a disk image
