Share pciture files in DVD slideshow

I am creating a DVD slideshow of a recent trip and would like to know how others (the receipients of the DVD) can download the pictures for their own.
I have setup the slideshows and know how to create them on iDVD from iPhoto, then setup the music, theme, etc.
But I also want my friends to be able to access and save the pics to their computers, aside from just being able to view the DVD. Can this be done?
Thanks

Can this be done?
Yes. See iDVD 6.0 Help - Adding files to the DVD-ROM portion of a disc at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/74.html

How do i share music files from iphoto slideshow to idvd?

I am making a Idvd slideshow and want to use a music theme i heard in iphoto. In iphoto it is listed under "Sample Music". But i cannot seem to navigate to in from within Idvd to import or select it. Nor can i find "sample music" when I search with spotlight. thanks in advance for the help. New to the MAC.

You need to delve into the iPhoto application and COPY the sample Music folder out to the Desktop and import it into iTunes before you can see it to use in a playlist in an iDVD slideshow.
The music is located in the iPhoto.app/Contents/Resources/Music folder. Open the iPhoto application like this:

Can I back up individual image files to a slideshow DVD created in Premiere Elements 4.0?

I created a Premiere Elements 4.0 Project including 3 separate photo slideshows. The slideshows were created in Photoshop Elements 6.0 and imported into my Premiere Elements project. I was hoping that when burning the project to DVD, my image files would also be individually backed up.
When I give the DVD to family members I would like them to have access to the image files so they can print or use them individually. I would like to do this in 1 single DVD rather than giving them a DVD with the slideshows and a DVD with the image files. I was able to do this with a previous DVD authoring program I was using, but I cannot figure it out with Premiere Elements 4.0.
Any ideas if this is do-able with Premiere Elements 4? (I am running Windows Vista Home premium SP1 - 64bit - 3GB RAM)

Thanks for your help. I tried this. I burned the project to a folder (4.7GB) then to that folder I added a folder with my photos. So in the folder there was "Photos", "OpenDVD" and "Video_TS". I had 3 separate folders within the "Photos" folder, to keep the 3 slideshow photos grouped.
I burned the entire folder to a DVD using my burn tool. I don't even know the name of the software I used, but I think it was just the Toshiba burn tool. I dragged and dropped the folder into my new disc folder, then at the top of my screen clicked "burn to disc", I named the disc and chose from the formating options "Mastered: disc can be read on other computers and some CD/DVD... no new data can be added..."
Once burned I checked it on my DVD player and now it recognizes only the individual jpg files so it does a generic slideshow of these images rather than my slideshow project. (no menu, music...) Putting the disc in my computer I could access either the files or the slideshow project, but not on my home DVD player.
I burned the folders to 2 separate discs, once dragging the whole folder to the disc and once opening the folder and dragging only the individual folders to the disc.
Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. thanks.

Re: Why when making a slideshow in iphoto,then going to share idvd,when making dvd i keep getting multiplex error

Hi
There are so many things that can give - multiplex error
Two very common ones
• Using letters other than A to Z or 0 to 9 eg. / # ; etc. in texts, titles, buttons or alike's.
• Turn on TV-Safe area in iDVD and secure that no text or object goes past this or even touching it.

Best Process for making DVD slideshows w/iDVD

Hasn't someone made a Sticky about this yet??
I just perused the forum for this answer and it seems the user "Shippley" has provided the most help in this area. I'm hoping they can help in this case. For making a dvd slideshow using ONLY iMovie, iPhoto and or iDVD what process has been determined to provide the best visual quality on playback in a DVD player?
I've read that for best results in putting a slideshow onto a DVD is to make the slideshow in iPhoto or iMovie first, and then send it on to iDVD.
But I need more information, and in one location-
Should the iPhoto/iMovie slideshow be WITHOUT any transitions for best quality?
In iPhoto, should we organize our slideshow in an Event then Share > Send to iDVD for best results, or is there a better way?
Does iMovie HD (6.0.4) or iMovie '08 (7.1.4) make a difference in quality? Otherwise I want the easiest.
When the iMovie slideshow is being sent to iDVD, should we use Share>Export Movie for the best quality when sending to iDVD? Or is there another/better way?
My photo's are scanned from slides and are small file sizes, if they were large (like from a digital camera) do I have to resize them for optimum DVD viewing?
What about the settings for widescreen or standard, either one better?
iDVD encoding, Best/High/Professional, which one for best clarity?
Like most other infrequent DVD makers, I do not want a fancy slideshow, I don't care if it has transitions if it means I can have better clarity in the DVD player. I have old slides that I simply want to burn to a DVD.
Thanks for your help!
Sandy

Here is a quote from a post of F Shippley on March 8, 2010 that I am referring to. Bengt, you also responded to this post. The post is titled "poor picture quality with DVD slideshow".
Thus my confusion as to the best practice. I may look into Fotomagico, but like others, I don't want to have to pay for another application that may only be used once or twice a year! Thank you for your responses.
F Shippley writes, "As I told you in your other message yhread:
The easiest way to improve the quality of slideshows for use with iDVD is to create them as movies in iPhoto or iMovie! Creating slideshows in iDVD has MANY drawbacks (as you have probably found). It's 'quick and dirty' easy for a few slides, but that's about all I use it for.
BTW, for PAL DVDs use 768x576 pixel images for standard video and use 1024x576 pixel images for widescreen video. That's all the resolution a DVD supports. "

How do I create my own favorite template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to templates, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get

First, how do I create my own favorite theme template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to already existing themes, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get. I just want to use a picture as my DVD cover, and then insert a slideshow. Also, when I try to burn my 8.5gb double sided slideshow, all that burns is the music. It is a large slideshow, a memorial on the life of my now deceased brother. This means a lot to me and to my family, and I am having so much trouble trying to burn it. I have gone into Project View and selected appropriately. The bar shows I have room to burn this DVD, but it does not burn. I have burned so many DVDs in the past, but this one just will not burn. I am so confused at this point. I will say this is the first 8.5gb I have attempted to create and burn. My specs list a 7.7gb or 4.7gb as operable....but there are no 7.7gb dvds. I had to purchase 8.5gb. Help? What am I doing wrong? I have spent so much time on this, and just cannot figure it out.

Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor. The pro version of iMovie.
Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow. It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them. You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Then 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.
The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version). Personal preferences showing here.

Is there any way to import the photos from a DVD slideshow I made in 2007?

is there any way to import the photos from a DVD slideshow I made in 2007? they are set to music and there are quite a few photos on the slideshow. I didn't back up the photos on a separate DVD/CD so the photos are all there but i don't know how to import them from a musical slideshow. Help!

Unless you opted to add the source image files to the DVD's ROM Contents the answer is no.

How do I create a DVD slideshow

Hello! I would like to create a DVD slideshow with pictures from over the year. I tried opening IDVD but I got an alrert message saying I wouldn't be able to burn my slideshow to a DVD on my system. Is there a way to use IPhoto for this project?
My friend created one in 5 minutes using a program on Vista Windows. I don't know why I am having a such a hard time with this. I thought Mac was supposed to be easy for this type of thing. I hope you can help me! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your system configuration with us. You are more than up to speed on your apple laptop. There really shouldn't be any issues here.
But I guess that's why we have these forums, right?
There is a difference between making a slideshow for iDvd as opposed to sending it over the internet. The latter will normally deal in significantly reduced file sizes.
To start with your question about emailing images or rather slideshows.... I'm not at all surprised your mac is saying it's too large to email. Sending high res images over the internet will slow downloads of said image/s on the receiving end to a crawl. Unless you have G-Mail, most standard e-mail accounts will max out at about 10 MB, not to mention bandwidth limitations. That's not a whole lot of working room when sending video (as in a QT movie) or slideshows of any significant length nor high quality images. You must take every effort to keep the slideshow very short and sweet. A few images, moderately sized tends to work rather well over the internet depending on the type of connection. Hopefully you have high speed cable or DSL (because that's what it will take unless unless the person receiving the email is into waiting a few hours for a typical 56K modem).
I believe iPhoto allows you to make such a slideshow (targeted specifically for emails) and to vary its size when actually sending the email. There's an option on the bottom lower right of the email you are composing to send it as a small file size, medium, or Actual size. Actual sizes will slow things down a bit. You may also want to post this very same question to the iPhoto Forum or iWeb (or both) for more detailed info.
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

DVD Slideshow Images Flickering

I was a Window user. Now I am a new MAC user. I bought iMac mainly to do slideshows and video. I heard that MAC is great for slideshows and videos. iLife is great. But.. There is always a but. This is a big BUT and I sincerely hope that going to MAC is not a disappointment. Here goes.
The slideshows in iPhoto 08 and iDVD 08 are great but after burning into DVD the images flickers.
Some part of the picture flickers not the whole picture. Even the add on text on the picture flickers.
In Windows I used Ulead Movie Factory, it had the same problem until Ulead implemented Anti Flicker option. Selecting this option makes the DVD pictures perfectly still like viewing your photos on the computer.
Is there an Anti Flicker setting in iDVD or iPhoto?
I am not producing DVD slideshow at the moment until I can find a solution as this flickering thingy is infuriating. A still picture must be still and not flickering on certain part of the picture/image. Railway tracks flickers madly, leaves on a tree flickers, blinds flickers, the face flickers, etc
Please helppppppp. Frustrated. I cannot go back to Windows and I do not want to. I am sure others must have this problem too. I pray that I have done something wrong else there won't be a solution until Apple can fix it. Prayyyy
Thanks. Sorry for being so long winded.

Guys,
I am back. Sorry for taking so long. My wife has been grumbling about me spending so much time on the computer, blah, blah..
Again thank you all for all the suggestions. I have look at Photo to Movie tutorial. It is pretty good but I think Fotomagico is better. Yet to try it. Soon I hope.
As what Howard Topoff said, Ken Burns causes the Flickering and he is correct. I created a slideshow in iPhoto without Kenburns and send to iDVD. There are no flickers what so ever. The quality I got is as per Ulead DVD Movie Factory. Now, at least I am getting the same quality as before. I expect it to be better but hey... It is really a pity as I like Ken Burns a lot.
One thing maybe you guys can explain. iPhoto send to iDVD(not exporting) by creating a QT movie. I dragged the QT movie to Toast which has the option to tell you what type of file it is. Toast reported that the QT movie file is MPEG 4 video, 720x540 AND 13.5 fps. I would expect the fps will be around 25 or 30. Shouldn't iPhoto be sending out as high quality as possible so that iDVD will be able to recode it to suit PAL or NTSC? Unbelievable.
It is silly for iPhoto export option which can only export the biggest is large 640x480 and iDVD will have to recode it to 720 x 576 for PAL TV.
I have started to learn iMovie. iMovie has at least the option to set what QT quality is required when I Export Using Quicktime option. I can set whether it is PAL/NTSC/H.264,etc., frame rate, progressive or interlace, aspect ratio, etc. iPhoto has none of these. Is this an Apple oversight? I am doubtful.
Hey, rightly or wrongly, I am beginning to be a sceptic when it comes to Apple's intentions as those things that are missing are basics that should be part of the software.
Hopefully in a few days time, I can post more, not if my wife can help it. Nag, nag, nag.
F Shippey, PAL is 720 x 576. I will try a few photos by resizing as per your suggestions but first I would like to look at iMovie.
Cheers.

Switch NTSC DVD slideshow to PAL

Good morning,
my wife and I recently received a DVD Slideshow made on a PC in the NTSC format from our Wedding photographers.
My family lives in Europe and cannot watch NTSC format. Is there a way to make a copy of my slideshow but in the PAL format?
Thank you very very much.

Hi
Usually - NTSC-DVDs plays well in PAL players - but not the other way around.
So here is my notes on PAL to NTSC. Just think the other way around.
PAL to NTSC or NTSC to PAL
A. Copying commercial DVDs - No Not possibly at all - Not even legal to discuss.
B. Home made DVDs (DVDs without copy protection)
C. Movies from iMovie or FinalCut
• Save as full quality QuickTime .mov and convert this with JES_Deinterlacer (free on internet)
NTSC ---> PAL.
• Most often not necessary - Most stand alone PAL DVD-players playback NTSC
(if TV is old in BL/W)
PAL ---> NTSC.
• If played on Mac - not necessary AT ALL
• If on NTSC DVD-player - CONVERSION IS NEEDED - nearly no Stand alone NTSC-DVD-players
playback PAL at all.
To do this You need to convert the PAL DVD to streaming.DV or full quality QuickTime .mov
• I use Roxio Toast™ to do this (There are no free converter)
• JES_Deinterlacer (free on internet) to convert to NTSC
• Set up an NTSC project (29.97fps or 30) in iDVD and import then burn
I burn to
• Verbatim DVD-R
• Set down burn speed in iDVD to x1 or x4 recommended by many
• Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on internal boot hard disk before burning (IMPORTANT)
PAL is 25 fps and an analog TV standard of 625 lines
NTSC is 29.97 fps and 520 lines
NTSC (29.97fps) 520 lines - about 640x480 pixels (square) 720x480 rectangular (narrow) pixels
PAL (25 fps) 625 lines - about 768x576 pixels (square) 720x576 rectangular (narrow) pixels
to use a photo 702x480 resp 576 then add 9 pixels on each side to add together as 720
If iDVD hangs on PAL or NTSC.
Bengt W wrote
Deleting iDVD pref. file - should return You into NTSC mode.
Yes iDVD can switch to PAL - BUT as You see with a rather lousy result.
a. Need to convert to PAL - most often not - Most PAL-player can playback NTSC
and on a fairly new TV in color. (old TV in Bl/W)
(Other way around - from PAL to NTSC most often a must - few NTSC-player can use PAL)
b. IF MUST - then use JES_Deinterlacer to do this conversion - so much better and free.
My list on this (or rather PAL --> NTSC - just think the other way around)

Thank you SDMacuser. I dumped all the plist icons with no result, and was getting pretty plist off when it occurred to me to delete all the previous dvd.proj files. Bingo. That did the trick. So thank you for all your help and the additional information you provided.

Photos stored in DVD-ROM section of DVD Slideshow

I have created a DVD Slideshow using 50 pictures from iphoto and I checked "Add image files to DVD-ROM" box. I have done this several years ago but am totally baffled as to to link these images to a button which will allow access to them from the finished DVD. HELP!
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 512 MB SDRAM, 800Mghz

Hi cputzi
You can do this w/in DVDSP.
Did you already check out the iDVD Help Menu Procedure?
To create a slideshow in iDVD:
1. Click Media to open the Media pane, then click Photos to display your iPhoto albums.
2. Drag an album to the DVD menu. A button is created that links to the images. The button has the name of your iPhoto album and automatically displays the first slide in the slideshow.
3. If you want to change the button label, select the button and type a new name.
4. Double-click the button to open the slideshow editor.
5. The slideshow editor shows thumbnails of the photos in the slideshow. Drag the slider to change the size of the thumbnails, so you can see more slides at once, or fewer slides with more detail.
6. Add, arrange, or delete slides from the slideshow to create the sequence you want.
• To add other images, drag files or folders from the Finder to the slideshow editor.
• To reorder the images, select the slides you want to move and drag them to a different position.
• To delete an image, select it and choose Edit > Delete.
7. Click Settings and select the settings you want for the slideshow:
• "Loop slideshow" makes the slideshow repeat continuously until the viewer moves to a different part of the DVD.
• "Display navigation arrows" shows navigation arrows on the screen to indicate where the viewer is in the slideshow.
• "Add image files to DVD-ROM" adds copies of the slideshow images to the DVD disc so viewers can download them to their computers.
• "Show titles and comments" lets you add titles and comments to your slideshow images that are visible in the slideshow.
8. Click the Transition pop-up menu and choose a transition to smoothly move from one image to the next.
9. Click the Slide Duration pop-up menu and choose the length of time you want each slide to stay on the screen. Be sure to allow enough time for the transition you selected.
10. To let the viewer advance through the slideshow manually using a remote control, choose Manual.
11. Note: If you're adding a soundtrack, you don't need to set the slide duration.
12. To add a soundtrack, click Media to open the Media pane, then click Audio to find a song in your iTunes library or GarageBand that would make a nice background for the slideshow.
13. Drag the song or audio track from the Media pane, or from another location on your hard disk, and drop it in the audio well in the slideshow editor.
14. iDVD automatically adjusts the overall duration of the slides to match the length of the audio clip. The slide duration is changed to "Fit to Audio." You can change the duration if you want.
15. Drag the "Slideshow volume" slider to set the volume. You can check the volume when you preview the slideshow.
Note: When you add RAW images from iPhoto, the RAW files will appear in the slideshow as JPEG images. The RAW files are placed in the DVD-ROM portion of the disc if you choose that option.
Hope this is helpful

DVD Slideshow to still pics in iPhoto

I just got married and the photographer gave me a DVD slideshow of about 300 pictures from my wedding. When I put it in the powerbook or in a DVD player ot plays like a movie.
My question is can I take a freesze frame and save it (or convert it to a jpg so that I can save it in iPhoto??? What software would I do this with?
Thanks Much!

djsense:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What you'll need to do is take screen shots of the individual slides. The Apple provided screen capture application will not copy DVDs. You'll need something like Snapz X. However the resolution of the image you get will be only 72 dpi which will be good only for screen display.
You might look in the DVD to see if the original files were included with the DVD. It would be in a folder somewhere on the disk.
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

DVD, slideshow, editing, maker

hey everyone
Has anyone ever had to make a DVD slideshow before?
What programs are out there?
I have been asked to create a slideshow of images (possibly some video). I have currently downloaded 'imagination' from the AUR it is quite ok, it is very simple and easy like described but dosn't have as much control as i want. After a little playing around I don't think it is possible to control audio tracks very well, insert videos, or export directly to a DVD (or ISO). I have also tried bombono-dvd but it dosn't really do what i want.
I want to know if anyone has any experience, or knows any other programs that are worth looking at.
cheers,
marno

You have several possibilities.
I use openshot, kdenlive, then you can export them to the file you want.

Add image files to DVD-ROM

When using iDVD '09 to create a slideshow, I select the option to "Add image files to DVD ROM". As expected, my finished DVD contains the DVD-ROM Contents folder, and after digging down into a few more sub-folders I get to the original photos used to create the slideshow. So far so good. However, inside the folder containing the slideshow images there is another sub-folder that is always named "originals" which contains a second set of identical images.
This "originals" folder is only created when I use photos from the iPhoto library in my DVD. If the slideshow photos are sourced from a folder somewhere using the finder I do not get the the second set of images.
At first I thought maybe iDVD was placing a copy of the original unedited iPhoto images and a copy of the edited iPhoto images onto the DVD, but the 2 sets of images are absolutely identical as far as I can tell.
Anyone know why iDVD is placing 2 sets of images onto the DVD?

Just made an interesting discovery. I went back through some older DVDs looking at the DVD-ROM contents folders. On my older DVDs, the main set of images are all those used in the slideshow, while the "originals" folder contains the unmodified copies of only those photos that were modified in iPhoto. The "originals" folder could therefore contain the same number of photos if all were modified, less if only some of them were modified, or none at all if you didn't modify any of them in iPhoto.
So it would appear that iDVD is indeed supposed to follow the same "original" and "modified" structure of iPhoto in order to archive both versions onto the DVD. This is obviously the correct behaviour and is a very clever feature for Apple to include, but it doesn't appear to be working with the newer versions of iDVD.
The older DVDs I have where this has worked correctly were created on my old iMac with iDVD 6. All the incorrect DVDs I have with 2 identical sets of photos were created since buying my new MBP. I started off with iDVD '08 on the MBP and I'm now using iDVD '09. So there is either something wrong with my system, or there has been a bug in iDVD since the '08 version (suppose it could be an iPhoto bug as well).
I would like to know if anyone else has checked the DVD-ROM folder on their DVDs to see if the main images and those in the "originals" folder are identical. This would apply to iDVD '08 and '09 and only if you sourced the slideshow images through iPhoto. If I'm not alone then it would appear to be an Apple bug.
