Quality of slideshow on dvd poor!

hi, i use idvd to prepare a slideshow of my pictures, taken with a 8 megapix camera.
when the project on idvd is finished and playbacked it looks great, but once burned on a dvd and then played in a dvd player (pal format) the foto's have lost a lot of quality.
is there a way round this problem?

Jean,
You need to read Preparing images for DVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/17.html
Images on our present-day DVDs are roughly VGA resolution (about 0.3 Mpixel).
Your DVD will look much better on a 'normal' TV set (that's the resolution our DVDs are designed for) than on a much higher resolution computer monitor (or HD TV set).

  • Quality of slideshow on dvd very blurry

    Hi I used iPhoto to create a slideshow of my son with ken burns effect. When I play the slideshow in iPhoto, it is silky smooth. But when I use iDVD to burn the slideshow to DVD and play back the slideshow on a DVD player and normal TV set, the ken burns effect is very blurry and you can see the individual pixels as the image pans. Can anyone help me on how to create a slideshow on DVD which has as good quality as that when played in iPhoto?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I'm not surprised because the images have to go thru two rendering/encoding processes when done that way. iPhoto converts it to a QT movie then rendering the images to a different size and pixel type, from square to rectangle (or it may be the other way around). Then when encoded by iDVD it gets further compressed to fit on the DVD disk.
    I found the best image quality is obtained by importing the still photos into iDVD and creating the slideshow entirely in iDVD. You can't have the KB effect and can only have one transition per slideshow buy the image quality, IMO, if much better. Also iDVD lets you add titles and/or comments at the bottom of any slide you choose.
    Do you Twango?

  • Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago. 
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them. 
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

  • Quality of Photos on DVD

    Despite using high quality photos on iDVD when the disc is burnt the quality of the photos is poor, does anybody have any suggestions? Final imaging needs to be shown on a screen at a show.
    Also when playing back the DVD one of the transitions on the slideshow sticks and then moves on a place to catch up, any ideas to remedy.

    Welcome to the forums!
    There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
    If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
    Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
    http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
    (Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
    Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
    Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie 6 as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
    You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
    To simply create a slide show in iDVD 8 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

  • Burning slideshows to DVD

    Is it possible to burn saved slideshows to DVD that was created in Lr5

    It depends on your target. Do you want a standard video DVD that plays in all DVD players? If so be aware that the quality will be very low 480p video whatever software you use. On any modern HDTV this looks fairly poor but it is the best you can do with standard video DVD. On Macs people would use iDVD or something like Toast. On PCs I have no clue but I am sure a quick google would show a lot of tools. With those softwares you usually simply drag the Lightroom output video file into the app and hit burn.
    If your target is any recent BluRay player, you do NOT want to burn a DVD the above way. Just stick the DVD or burnable CD (usually big enough for this as your Lightroom output file is not often bigger than a few 100 Megs) in your drive and have the OS (if it is a Mac) mount it, drag the Lightroom output file on and hit burn. It probably works similarly on recent windows versions but I don't know the details. This disc should play in high def on almost any recent BluRay player. If you want something more fancy with menus and such you need a full BluRay authoring app. Most are super expensive but there are a few that are affordable such as Toast 11 Pro. Adobe makes a BluRay authoring product too called Encore which can be downloaded as part of creative cloud if you download premiere.
    In all this make sure to export the slideshow at high enough resolution. For BluRay playing, you want 1080p. For standard video DVD you want something a little better than 480p, so 720p. The DVD authoring software will downscale it for you.

  • Image quality in slideshow is significantly deteriorated

    I am new to Premiere Elements (3.0) and still have much to learn about navigating and using the software. I have no prior experience with other comparable products so I am a newbie in all respects.
    I took a series of still images from a 7 megapixel camera, all shot in highest resolution, and placed them into a slideshow in Premiere Elements 3.0. Image quality is significantly deteriorated when I view the slideshow, which I've not yet burned to dvd, my intended output.
    I don't understand why the original resolution of the images is degraded. I'm hoping there are simple settings I must change. reading through the software documentation thus far has not provided the answer.
    do I need to take the original images and save them to a different format in Photoshop Elements before placing them into a slideshow for dvd output? if so, does this need to be done one image at a time (I've got 400 images) or can they be converted as a group?
    I'm getting desperate and would appreciate anyone's advice.

    The slideshow exported from PE3.0 will be at NTSC (or PAL) resolution so 720x480... so significantely lower resolution than your source photos and it will be interlaced. When viewed on a TV it will look fine but not so good on a computer monitor. Try burning to DVD and viewing.
    Also PE3.0 might have problems working/burning photos at such a high resolution. As the final export it restricted to 720x480 you can resize your photos to 1000x750 and these will be easier to process by PE3.0

  • Disappointing quality when exporting to DVD - how do I improve this?

    Hi,
    I've spent quite a long time producing beautiful slideshows in iPhoto '08 - complete with soundtrack, Ken Burns affects and transitions. I wished to burn this slideshow to DVD, but I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the final result.
    Compared to playback on my iMac, the slideshow on the DVD was very grainy and jerky. I have a HD (1080i) plasma at home, with an upscaling DVD player. DVD movies are excellent quality with my home cinema set-up, so I'd like to achieve similar results with the slideshow movie I create from iPhoto.
    When exporting from iPhoto, the maximum resolution I seem to be able to specify is 640 x 480 pixels, which to be quite frank is rubbish.
    Is there anyway that I can export a higher definition slideshow movie? If I purchase Quicktime Pro, will I be able to do this? I don't want to spend money upgrading to Quicktime Pro, if I can't produce a better quality output from iPhoto (or iDVD for that matter).
    Can anyone advise?
    Many thanks in anticipation.

    iDVD creates presentations that are 640 x 480 in size. That's the standard for TV. I create all of my iDVD slideshow in iDVD and, IMO, get better image quality when played. I don't get to use the KB effect but it's not one of my favorites anyway so it doesn't matter.
    You could create the slideshow in iMovie (iMovie 6 is my preferred version) and then after you've got the slideshow as you want quick iMovie, launch iDVD and drag the iMovie project file into iDVD. That will prevent iMovie from encoding the movie before importing into iDVD where it will get encoded a second time. This lets iDVD to the encoding and will give better results.
    If you add the movie project to an iDVD slideshow (doesn't have to have any photos in it) the movie will be scaled to the TV safe area and not get affected by the TV overscan issue that movies added to iDVD as movies do. They lose about 10% of the image due to the overscan. It's the nature of the beast. iDVD 7 will not scale them to the safe area if they are added to an iDVD created slideshow and can have be included with photos also.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Image Quality of Slideshow When Exported for YouTube

    I have attempted several slideshows using A3 and the export quality I find is rather poor. The resulting file is an M4V. Is this a common problem or should I be looking at another form of creating/exporting the slideshow? Play back in A3 has excellent quality but when exported it gets badly degraded.

    Yes I'm aware of it, I have tried it with the ipod setting as well as the hd setting and in hd all I got was audio. I'm trying one in 720 now and will see if this setting is any better

  • Exort Slideshow for DVD project

    Hi, I have made several slideshows in Aperture 3.1.1 which I now want to burn on a DVD.
    I'm having problems figuring out which export option to use.
    HD wouldn't work as DVDs are SD by definition, so would probably loose a lot of quality in compression through DVD Studio Pro.
    Ideally, I would like a lossless option, so I can convert it in MPEG-2 my self and then burn it.
    But Aperture only uses H.264(which is not great) AND MPEG-4, which I'm not very familiar with
    Any suggestions on what is the best option for DVD?

    Hi lindy4
    Does it play well on Apple's DVD Player App on your mac computer?
    That's the recommended approach on this forum.....namely to make a disc image first from the File menu within iDVD which is created on the Hard Drive. From there you may wish to use apple's Disc Utilities (or Roxio Toast) and burn the image to Verbatim /Maxell DVD-R media at 4 x or slower (slower is better).
    Side note: Use Apple's DVD Player app (and not iDVD's Preview function) to actually test playback prior to burning to DVD-R.
    Hope this Helps

  • IPhoto slideshow on DVD is a mess!

    I am trying to create a slideshow on DVD for a client. His business is a small newspaper. For an upcoming tradeshow, he wants to have a large display with a slideshow of each page of the paper scrolling across the screen, flipping to the next page, etc. I figured iPhoto would be an excellent tool to do it without much labor, using the Ken Burns effect to pan the full length of each page. It works perfectly on my Mac display and looks great.
    Even the exported video looks OK when I preview it in iDVD.
    However, once it goes to DVD, the visual quality is worthless. I expected serious degradation of text quality since it is only 720 pixels wide. The text isn't as sharp, but it is readable.
    The big problem is that as it scrolls, it looks like the the images pass behind a grid of prisms that refract everything. The disruptive lines are about 1/4 inch apart, so the whole TV screen is a mess, it's impossible to watch. At first I thought it may be an issue with the scan rate of the TV, but the same thing happens when I play the DVD back on my notebook PC and my Mac.
    I set the iDVD preview window and the DVD Player window side by side and played them together. The iDVD preview was fine, the DVD player window gives me a headache.
    What can be causing this, and is there any way to change a setting in iPhoto or iDVD to prevent it?

    What resolution are you using for the slides? I have done several DVDs with slide shows as an option (training DVDs) and it's always worked well. I am using PNG and JPEG files with at least 150dpi resolution. I've even used Contrictor to snap screen shots of some PDF files with good results. I am using a 17" screen so again, I'm getting as much resolution as I can before I stick them into the DVD slide show.

    The iDVD forum is here:

    And the folks who hang about there will give you best help. That said, you're really going to need to explain what you mean by "poor quality", how you're using iDVD and what settings you use.
    I would note: if you're using a HD camera and iDVD that you have a mismatch there straightaway. iDVD does not produce HD DVDs so everything is being downsampled to standard formats.

  • Does anyone experienced bad quality when burning a DVD?

    Does anyone experienced bad quality when burning a DVD?
    Using OS 10.6.8 and Magiv Video in iDVD, I am having a hard time creating a decent DVD. The videos per se are fine, but the intro menu and menu text and images are extremely poor quality and hard to read. What is going on?

    Hi my notes on this - might be of help
    DVD quality
    1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
    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
    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 Large (NOT HD or other resolutiona as result will suffer) 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 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

  • Putting an iPhoto slideshow on DVD with Toast

    Hello
    I have a LaCie DVD burner, bought from the Apple shop in London with Toast Titanium 6. I want to save an iPhoto slideshow to DVD. Problem is, every time I try to drag a song from the Finder to Toast, I get the message that I do not have a valid Jam license.
    Can anyone please explain this to me? I am wondering if the Apple shop may have sold me the wrong product for my iBook!
    Thanks...

    PS. I can now get both slide-show and music on the DVD but can't play them simulteneously.

    I would be grateful if someone could explain how to burn a slideshow to DVD so that it can be watched on TV. I have created a slideshow and exported it and it is in the iphoto slideshow folder as .M4v file.
    I don't know how to get it from there to DVD. I have Toast Titanium 10.
    All suggestions appreciated.

    You can use the Share -> Send to iDVD command in iPhoto to send the slideshow to the iDVD app which will burn the DVD for you. For using Toast check the Toast Help.
