Sending iMovie to iDVD

Trying to send a 12 minute movie to iDVD from iMovie and only 4minutes or so load onto iDVD. I must have a setting wrong somewhere to not enable me to transfer all 12 minutes. Please advise. Thanks.

  • Best way to send Imovie to idvd?

    OK just finished my Imovie, added chapter markers, but I am getting different info on ways to send movie to IDVD in 2 different books. Do I open idvd and import my imovie file (which is saved on my external hard drive) into idvd? also if i import this saved file does it import a copy of the movie from the external or is it the original and only file? I don't want to lose this only copy on my external Hdrive. any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

    Here's a few ways I use:
    You can also drag & drop the QT movie directly into iDVD if you prefer. Hope this is helpful and good luck.

  • Problem sending iMovie to iDVD

    I have a fairly large iMovie that when I try to send to iDVD I get an "unknown" error message? Are their size limits...could that be the cause? Any suggestions?

  • I produced a film in iMovie and send it to iDVD to make a DVD with a theme. When everything was ready it starts at my mac-computer. But at the TV the theme always comes at the end of the film not at the beginning. What have I to change, what´s wrong?

    I produced a film in imovie and send it to idvd to make a dvd with a theme. After finishing all the dvd starts in my mac-computer and first comes the theme and then the film.
    But when I start it with a dvd-recorder at tv first the film comes an at the end of the film the theme comes. What did I wrong? Where is my mistake?

    Hi
    A. Do not Use - Share to iDVD - in any iMovie version at all !
    B. Start a BRAND NEW iDVD project
    C. in iMovie'08 to 11 -  Share to Media Browser and as LARGE - NOT HD or other resolution as quality will be even worse
    - in iMovie HD6 - just close it and from within iDVD import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it)
    - FinalCut - Export as QuickTime Movie - NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION - AT ALL !
    D. When in iDVD - see to that in the Lay-out menu (when it looks like a box-plott) there ARE NOTHING in the upper left most box (Auto Start box). As this overruns any Menu.
    E. Save as a DiskImage - TEST this first - befor burning any DVDs

  • IMovie and iDVD, Stupid Upgrade Questions, Sorry Must Ask

    Okay, the deal is I have a PowerMac G4 Version 2.1 with a Combo Drive. I am upgrading to Mac OSX 3.0 so I can do certain things in iMovie and acquire a better browser. (My constraints on the iMovie project about which I've been inquiring are that at least 40 people have been waiting for copies of it for about a month and wondering why I don't come through with it--I sent a lengthy explanation to the guy who'll be duplicating it in case anyone asks. That's one reason I'm in such a hurry I have to ask urgent questions at forums and newsgroups and don't take the time to read every word ever written on every one of these systems and their various applications, abilities, and uses.)
    I started out thinking I was about one step from having a completed project and the more I learn, the more grim the situation looks. Yet I've done ALL THIS WORK already to create beautiful titles and elaborately-edited outtakes. I HATE to ditch it all if any faint hope flickers into sight!
    My Mac came with the following:
    iMovie 3.0.3 -- which seems to be working fine, only problem is, due to deficiencies in other equipment, I'm having trouble getting my movie to DVD or into any other form where it can be played anywhere outside the Mac!
    iDVD 2.1 -- My feeble brain, inadequate as it may be, has so far gathered the information that to go to DVD, a project can't be played in iMovie and sent straight to a DVD burner (can it?) There has to be some intermediary step. (Right?) People have argued the various merits of iDVD vs. Toast to accomplish this step. I hadn't opened my copy of iDVD because I am in no way near the point of being ready to make a DVD--I have not yet finished editing the project in iMovie. I made the hideous error of ASSUMING that since this came installed in my Mac, it would work fine when needed, just as iMovie did. When I tried to open it just to see what version I had, it wouldn't open and told me this:
    System Requirements
    iDVD 2 requires a PowerMac G4 computer with 256 Megs of RAM, a built-in DVD-R Superdrive and Mac OS 10.1.3 or later.
    Stupid redundant bonus question #1: WHY would this come installed on a Mac which lacks the hardware to use it? (iMovie could still be used to edit, and then copy projects--if I had a digital video camera--which I don't. The only other way we've figured is to send it back through the Canopus ADVC110 converter I used to get the video in there, and play it out to a VCR--a cumbersome process I've been assured will result in crummy quality.)
    Okay, here are the REAL questions:
    1. I don't suppose there's any way the Canopus could be connected to the DVD burner and the information sent to a DVD that way? Just asking.
    2. Obviously the upgrade isn't going to fix things to make iDVD work, as I'm already using Mac OSX 10.2.8, so I would assume its discontent stems from not having the Superdrive--at least, it was complaining something about inadequate hardware and I think that's what it meant. Will connecting a DVD burner via FireWire convince iDVD to work (either automatically or after some sort of tweaking), or am I stuck replacing the drive? I bought a DVD burner the minute I realized my drive was a Combo Drive and not a Superdrive (which is the first time I stuck a blank DVD in it and nothing happened) before learning details about this intermediary step and that there is more than one way to accomplish it.
    3. Is it even worth replacing the Combo Drive with a Superdrive or is it more worth buying a whole new Mac? If I am FORCED to buy a new Mac, what should I do with the old one? (Not only am I ethically opposed to tossing a perfectly good piece of electronic equipment into the ravine, I might get fined for littering. Can a good home be found for it? For that matter it would be a pain as I've saved all sorts of stuff to the Hard Drive which would have to be transferred to the new one before I could get rid of the old one. So can I keep the old one...PLEASE?)
    4. After making the system upgrade, will I be able to bypass iDVD entirely by using Toast, or does Toast also have all sorts of requirements my hardware does not possess so I'll still be SOL, stuck replacing drives or even the whole Mac, or going directly to crummy-quality VHS as there is NO OTHER WAY OUT?
    5. After making the system upgrade, would I be ready for more advanced versions of iMovie and iDVD? Are any upgrades free, or does every improvement cost? Do I get them all at the Apple site, order some of them from some supplier or other the way I did with the Mac OSX upgrade, or what?
    Thanks for helping to clear up my massive confusion!!!

    Wow, thanks. It's good to know iDVD is still an option, even if I don't buy the Superdrive (is that even possible, to get the Combo Drive taken out of my current Mac and a Superdrive put in? There's a question still unanswered.)
    (I think this is good to know--because part of my reasoning in asking the question was to eliminate one option or the other, and now I'm ending up with options of options, but hold on for Part 2 as I do have some questions concerning the capabilities of iDVD and Toast.)
    Partly answering one of my own questions (although I'd appreciate confirmation from someone who actually knows,) if these Toast 7 requirements mean what I think they do, I don't see anywhere that it says the computer MUST have a Superdrive and CAN'T use an external DVD burner!
    Toast 7 Titanium
    Requirements:
    * PowerPC G4 processor or faster (G5 recommended for viewing DivX files on your Mac)
    * PowerPC G3 processor and Mac OS 10.2 users, see Toast 6 Titanium or Popcorn
    * Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later
    * 300 MB of free disk space to install
    * Up to 15 GB of temporary free disk space during usage
    * QuickTime 7 or later
    * CD or DVD burner and recordable media
    If this is true (that I can use an external DVD burner) I like Toast already! My Quicktime Player is only version 6.5.2--is it going to be difficult, expensive, or both, to upgrade that? If it is or the other System Requirements are not met I can just go with Toast 6.
    As far as those requirements, I promise you I don't understand a word of it but here is what my System Profiler says my Mac has. Maybe someone can make sense of it and help me decide which version of Toast to get or, if not, what to do:

    One thing which may really sway me in favor of Toast is, will it make possible burning 2-hour DVDs? Supposedly iDVD will not enable anything longer than 90 minutes, and when I get to the other big project for which I really want to use the Canopus ADVC 110 converter, that is, converting my home movies from either VHS or 8mm video camera tape to DVD--well, ALL of my tapes are two hours long, because that's the way they come!! I don't see being limited to making 90-minute DVDs as anything but another GIANT PAIN of which I'm already amply supplied! So if Toast will fix this dilemma I'm ALL FOR IT!
    As always, thanks for help and advice.

  • Can't get my iMovie into iDVD 4.0.1

    I am having great difficulties getting my iMovie into iDVD. (Have made many dvds in the past from iMovie and never had a problem so this is new.) I have tried every way to do it (when previously had no problem just clicking on "Create DVD" pane). The movie won't show up on iDVD when I do this now. Either just "My Great DVD" comes up or a previous iDVD project. I have tried via Share/iDVD; I have tried to import from iDVD (get an "unsupported file type - invalid video" message). Any ideas? Thanks!

    The movie that's in the iDVD folder (of the Shared Movies folder) contains chapter information. If you imported that movie to iDVD, iDVD should have delivered chapters.
    Make sure your iDVD preferences are set to accept chapters.
    If nothing works, this failure of iMovie 5 to export to iDVD suggests some kind of underlying problem. I suspect something is corrupt in the video or audio content.
    Try importing that made-for-iDVD movie I mentioned to a NEW iMovie 5 project. (Drag it to the Timeline of the project.) That should deliver "cleaner" video/audio. Add your chapters to THAT project, send it to iDVD. Everything might start working as it should.

  • Newbie: Importing imovie to idvd

    Hello Everyone,
    I am a new mac user and therefore, a new imovie user. i have created a photo slideshow in imovie(it is about 25 minutes long with many transitions and cued music) and ultimately want to burn it to a dvd. earlier this year i created a slideshow and a friend helped me with finalizing it in idvd. unfortunately his work schedule is very busy, so i am hoping someone here can help me out. here are my questions:
    1. Should I export the project to quicktime and then send it to idvd? that is how he proceeded with the last project, because he was concerned about the cued music. or can i just proceed to idvd?
    2. once i send it to either quicktime or idvd, will the project still remain as in it's final form (prior to adding themes, etc.) in imovie? just in case i have a problem exporting it, i do not want to have to start all over again.
    Hopefully that makes sense...I am ready to export it, but i am leery of risking the whole project. thanks so much!

    Hi nu2mac07 and welcome!
    Once you have finished editing, adding transitions and music, the iMovie project is ready to be transferred to iDVD. There is no need whatever to export it to Quicktime first, which can be very time consuming.
    The best way to do this is:
    Save your iMovie project and close iMovie.
    Open iDVD and give the project a name. Now go to File in the menu bar and down to Import.
    Select Video and your iMovie folder will appear. Select the iMovie project you were working on, and it will appear in iDVD, ready for you to add a theme etc.
    The iMovie project will appear in iDVD exactly as when you last saved it.
    Do NOT (ever!) delete the iMovie project until you are satisfied with the final product: a DVD burned in iDVD. Just in case something, or even you, go wrong somewhere!

  • IPhoto album to iMovie to iDVD, poor quality of projected images

    I am preparing a slide show of digital photo images.  The finished product shows poor quality images.  I am import the images as an album to iMovie, add a few title slides, then export either to media file or directly to iDVD.  The results remain unacceptable when projected on a flat panel HD TV.  Where am I going wrong?
    Marks 3

    If you are using the Share ➙ iDVD menu in iMovie, don't.  Use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option and then drag the movie frome the Media/Movies pane in iDVD into the projects menu window. The Share ➙ iDVD route noticibly degrades the resulting movie.  What size movie are you sending to iDVD?  It should be Medium or Large.
    What size images in iPhoto are you using?  They shoujld be cropped to the 4:3 size ratio for iDVD before adding to either iMovie or iDVD. 
    Have you considered creating the slideshow in iDVD by adding the album of photos via the Media/Photos pane in iDVD.  I've found I get better results that way.  However, there is a 99 slide limit with that workflow.
    What do you mean by poor quality.  When going from a photo on your monitor to a TV screen the media gets resized and compressed/encoded down to 640 x 480 which can't duplicate the high resolution of the original image viewed on the monitor.

  • IPhoto Slideshows: major loss of quality when passed to iMovie or iDVD

    Problem: Slideshows created in iPhoto and exported to a Quicktime movie lose quality when exported from iMovie or iDVD.
    I've read through many threads in both the iMovie and iDVD forums, and I've done a lot of testing to find the source of my frustration. Now I want to spell out my findings and see how they compare with what others know of this process. I'm posting the thread in this forum because iPhoto seems to be the common denominator.
    I create slideshows in iPhoto, adding Ken Burns effects to each photo individually. I then export the slideshow as a Large (640x480) movie. The resulting movie looks good when played in Quicktime.
    I import the Quicktime movie into iMovie, add some music and themes and then export it. No matter how I export it, the quality greatly suffers.
    I try bypassing iMovie and import the iPhoto-created movie directly to iDVD. I burn the project and the quality of the video suffers.
    As a final test, I create a similar slideshow in Photo to Movie, using pan and zoom effects and music, just like the iMovie project. I export the slideshow to a Quicktime movie and it looks great. I send that movie to iDVD and burn the project -- the quality is much better.
    All this testing tells me that iPhoto's exporting of the slideshow creates some problem when running the movie through iMovie or iDVD. At first I thought it was just the conversion of the video to Quicktime movie and then it being encoded again by iDVD. The thing is that Photo to Movie also creates a Quicktime movie and the result after iDVD is still good. I don't have a real technical explanation for what's going on, but surely somebody does!
    Sorry for the length of this post, but I needed to lay out all of my findings to try and get a good discussion going. Anyone have some insight into all this?
    PowerMac G5 1.8 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Running into the same problems with video books. I created some video books (using iPhoto's book feature and exporting to iDVD) and the Quicktime files don't look good.
    However, I have created some slideshows prior and didn't run into any quality issues. I used the Share - Send to iDVD, but that shouldn't change anything.
    If you hear how to resolve video quality issues, I'd love to know. I haven't yet burned my video books to DVD (just exported to QT), but I'm hoping on the TV from 10+ feet away it will look fine.

  • IPhoto, iMovie or iDVD

    Trying to make slide show of daughter's wedding. Would like to be able to have a couple of movies also on it w/ a sound track from iTunes in the background. Ken Burns effect might be a nice touch. - Suggestions of which program would be best to use? Or a combination? Would like to be able to save to a DVD to be played on DVD player for TV use. As you can tell - a really extreme rookie here. Thanks for any insights.
    ~bruce.

    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, 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 from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

  • IMovie to iDvd problem /frozen frame on DVD

    i produce many videos with iMovie and iDVD every day. the imported video footage via different cameras like sony cx105 or panasonic sdr 150 works fine and i can see the footage without problems in iMovie. after editing and rendering in iMovie, sending the footage to iDVD i can see that sometimes, while encoding the footage in iDVD the video footage freeze but iDVD finish the whole procedure. later while watching the dvd the movie runs for a while and than suddenly the video freeze at one frame but the audio continues.
    this happens in around 15 burned dvd 1 times. if i try to start the whole iMovie project again and sending it to iDVD after rendering and even by cutting the frozen frame shot out the same thing happens again.it seems that there is somehow an error while importing the footage from the sd card or camera into the computer iMovie. the following error message comes up:

    Hi
    Most probably iDVD pref file - trash it - or even better start a new User-account
    log into this and have a re-try.
    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.
    If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
    iDVD updated ?
    Apple Codec updated ?
    Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets

  • Sharing iMovies with iDVD

    On the older versions I was able to easily and quickly share my iMovie with iDVD - this version takes hours! Is there an easier way to send to iDVD?
    Why is the rendering process so slow?
    - James Canty: [email protected]

    the newer version is therefore less user-friendly and more time consuming than the older version... who planned that?
    Apple had found that many iLife users were not using iMovie, some would argue that iMovie 06 became "too good". Others will say that many of the features of iMovie 06 made it hard for beginners to learn, so iMovie 08 is usually easier for the absolute beginner.
    I use both iMovie 06 and iMovie 08 (iMovie 06 about 90%, iMovie 08 about 10%).
    Many reviews of iMovie 08 recommend using both iMovie 08 and iMovie 06.
    I do find that iMovie 08 is "feature reduced" and not as DVD friendly compared to iMovie 06. iMovie 06 is "timeline based", iMovie 08 is "clip based". The lack of a true timeline in IM08 is hard to get used to for some.
    iMovie 08 is NOT an upgrade of iMovie 06. It is a completely new application. iMovie 08 is better for absolute beginners that don't want to burn a DVD. Most others will like iMovie 06 for its far greater editing power and ease of making DVDs. (Like creating Chapter Markers and Share to iDVD.)
    When iLife 08 is installed, all of the old applications are automatically deleted EXCEPT iMovie 06, because Apple WANTS you to have it.
    iMovie 08 is a wonderful program assuming that you're using it for what it was designed to do, assemble simple videos to share on the Internet.
    I find iMovie 06 to be easier and faster to use than iMovie 08 on longer jobs (more than 10 mins). iMovie 08 is faster for shorter jobs.
    iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 is a terrific combination.
    The Web site below has a good comparison of iMovie 08 and iMovie 06.

  • Poor export quality from imovie to idvd

    Can someone help me. I have perfect photos with iphoto, transfer them to imovie (still clear), but when i finally send them to idvd and create my movie, all of my photos get digitalized. I've checked all 3 programs, and they all appear to be set at the highest quality. Is there a way to create a dvd with the same quality of photos that I have with my other programs?
    Thanks, Brent

  • Sound problem during render from iMovie to iDVD

    I created an iMovie project that plays beautifully on my iMac G5 with OS X v 10.4.5.
    When it comes time to create a DVD project, iMovie tells me that because of two slow motion scenes, that "rendering" has to be performed.
    Within iDVD, the video plays fine. But the sound is warbled and slow (though in the correct key) throughout.
    I closed iDVD, iMovie, rebooted, and tried to create another iDVD, but the same thing occurred.
    Is there a way I can salvage this project?

    Hi, Paul,
    iMovie 'renders' slo-mo in a way that you don't really want--as you discovered. So, get your movie into iDVD without letting iMovie render it. Try doing it this way:
    Instead of sending your iMovie to iDVD from within iMovie, close iMovie.
    Open iDVD, and create a new project. Click on the 'custom' button, and navigate to the 'Media' tab. Select 'Movies' and find your iMovie in the little window. Drag it onto the iDVD screen. Be sure not to put it into a drop zone. Then, make the titles and buttons the way you wish.
    Save the DVD as disk image. You can play that after it is finished to see if the sound is what you want. If so, go ahead and burn your DVD.
    Hope this helps!!

  • VCR to Mac to iMovie to iDVD no audio

    Why does the audio in a video transferred from VHS to Mac to iMovie to iDVD not play? It plays fine in iMovie.

    I use Toast Ti 5.2.3 to burn disk images from iDVD without problem with Tiger. I suggest Stuart extract the audio tracks from the video clips in iMovie before sending to iDVD. Just select all of the clips in the time line and use the Advanced menu option to extract the audio. The will pop up in the audio track below the video timeline track. Then send to iDVD and burn the disk image, etc.
