Since QT 7.1.0 upgrade iDVD & iMovie not rendering audio

Can I get my old QT 7.0 back?
Since I upgraded to QuickTime 7.1 & 7.1.2, It has taken a full week to produce a 45min. video using iMovie and iDVD
This is the first time I've used the new iLife to create a movie or DVD.
Usually I use Final Cut Pro to edit but since the last upgrade of FCP, I have been unable to capture video from my Sony DCR-TRV 103 cameras (no longer supported, Great!). Since I have over 300 tapes archived in this format I am discouraged and have had to resort to using iMovie which ironically has no problem capturing from these cameras but takes days to render (seriously), and iDVD simply stalls when it gets to compressing audio. I tried converting the files to DV in QT ( 16hrs.) but that didn't help. My system used to work marvelously, but since the "upgrades" I can't get anything out.
This is really broke, and it's killing me and my business.
I could kick myself for being enticed to change.
HELP! ?

There is an incompatibility between QT 7.1.2 and OS10.3.9. (I have reported this to Apple, as I'm sure others have, but so far no cure).
This website will tell you how to downgrade QT:
http://fox-gieg.com/tutorials/2005/undo-quicktime-7/
however I downgraded to 7.0.4 because I couldn't burn DVDs with 7.1.2, but I still couldn't burn them (even though it was OK with 7.0.4 earlier before I upgraded).
If the downgrade process described in this site doesn't work for you you may find that your only answer is to upgrade to Tiger (10.4.7).

HT4236 Ever since I got the iTunes upgrade, iPhoto does not open and take the photos from my iPhone. I have the older version of iPhoto, so Photo Stream does not work. Can you please help?

Ever since I got the iTunes upgrade, iPhoto does not open and get pictures from my iPhone. How do I fix this? Thanks.

You can stop new photos being automatically added to Photostream in iPhoto from iPhoto preferences > Photostream.

Help!! idvd freezing when rendering audio

PLEASE..I need help!! I make a movie for my students at the end of the school year. I put together a movie in imovie and then sent it to idvd. When I finished with the idvd part and went to burn it, my idvd would stop responding after about an hour when it came to the final part when rendering the audio. I find I have to force quit the program and start over. I've tried it 4 times and it happens every time in the same spot. I never had this happen before. Thanks for any help you can give me!!

Like I said!
This question is frequently asked!
iDVD is probably not 'hanging'. Disregard any messages that iDVD is not responding. It is. Do not force quit.
Encoding audio is the slowest part of rendering, and can take many hours. Great patience, even an intermittent alternative hobby, is called for.
Make sure no other application is running, make sure you have not set the hard disk to go to sleep and that the screen saver will not come on. Leave it overnight, or have a 36 hole game of golf.
Sooner or later iDVD will finish!

IDVD will not encode audio

Hi,
Just as the topic says, iDVD will not encode the audio......well whats happening is that it says its in the process of encoding....the bar turns grey, and has the loading color wheel thing and thats basically whats happening.

Thanks

IMovie not recording audio

Hi, I am trying to add a voice over the video recording in iMovie 10 but am not having any success. After selecting the recording option the application gives the count down to start the audio recording but the program does not actually record any sound. I have verified the built in mic is working correctly as I have no issue recording sound in Quick time player.
Any idea what is cause iMovie to not record? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I am having the same problem.

When installing iLife, can I only upgrade iPHoto and not iMovie or iDVD?

When I install iLife, Is it possible to only upgrade iPhoto and not iMovie and iDVD? I've heard the new versions of iMovie and iDVD are not as robust. If I do this, does iPhoto '08 still integrate with the last version of iDVD?

If you do a custom install you can select what gets installed
I believe that You also can move the old versions so the new versions get installed and you still have the old versions - I understand that Old Toad has numerous versions of iLife programs on his system - search the iPhoto forum for his posts to see what he has to say about that
And you can download iMovie 6 from the Apple download site - a free install for iLife '08 owners
So you can have the old and the new

Byron,
maybe I didn't explain it right: commercial DVDs don't mean movies with commercials - it means they are available to buy in stores (commercially).
And, if you want to make your own movie, we can help you here using iMovie, but as I and MadisonP said, you can't easily copy purchased DVDs because they have protection built in (they don't want you to copy the movie). Since these are purchased DVDs, it may not be worth your while to spend money on any software if it is not going to work anyway.
And asking is just fine - how do you find out if you don't ask....
This is why we can't talk about it:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.

You are asking how to make pirate copies of commercial DVDs that you have somehow ripped to your Mac?
As that is illegal in most countries, being a flagrant breach of copyright, it is also against the terms of use of these forums to discuss it.

Upgrading from iMovie Questions

I need to upgrade from iMovie -- need to because I'm finding that iMovie is somewhat unreliable regarding some of its 'known issues.'
So ...
I'm trying to figure out what the key differences are between FC Pro and Express. I'm willing to endure any 'learning curve' differences, I just want to figure out if there are any features in the Pro edition that I'll never use and weigh the differences.
1. Is there any matrix you can point to that does this comparison?
2. Is there a 'Final Cut Express Studio' that includes all of the software in Final Cut Pro Studio or do they have to be purchased individually.
3. Are both FC Pro and Express devoid of the 'known issues' that can make working with iMovie somewhat unreliable?
Thanks for your feedback.

I found a comparison article here: http://camcorders.about.com/od/videoediting/a/FinalCutCompare.htm
Final Cut Express HD also gives you Soundtrack 1.5 and LiveType 2 for $299.
To get Final Cut Pro, you must by Final Cut Studio for $1299. With this you also get SoundTrack Pro (different from SoundTrack 1.5), Motion, DVD Studio Pro, Compressor, and the same version of LiveType (I think).
You cannot buy Final Cut Pro, SoundTrack Pro, Compressor, Motion, and DVD Studio Pro individually.
Since you cannot buy DVD Studio Pro individually, if you buy FCE HD you'd still need to use iDVD (or Toast) to author a DVD Video.
You won't find the same "known issues" as iMovie. There will be different "known issues" as no software package is perfect. Your biggest issue will probably be the learning curve but you can overcome that.

A few months ago, I purchased a new iMac. I recently created a movie using iMovie. Then I found out that iDVD is not included. So I have the problem that I want to burn a movie that I can play on my DVD player and watch on a television. I rang Applecare and was told that I need a program called BURN.
Is this correct? I can export the movie from iMovie in a m4v format, but I think I need to convert this to iso format before I can burn the disc.
I know there are programs like TOAST that will do this, but it is expensive.
I would be very grateful for any assistance.

Burn will not do what you want, and there is no real substutute for iDVD.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
Apple insists that the entire world has access to fast broadband (and are prepared to pay for the considerable bandwidth usage) and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud, YouTube, Facebook, whatever) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. Stating that they would return their brand new Mac unless they received a copy of iDVD worked for some, but that is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple.
Also, you can complain bitterly via Apple’s Feedback link, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between burning DVDs and distributing home movies by other means. You may feel that Apple should not dictate how you destribute family videos or photos to distant relatives and friends, and should not assume that every user is prepared to pay for the excessive bandwidth usage charged by ISPs for huge downloads from the App Store:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that came with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or that comes with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.
And if you think Microsoft are any better, their new Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced: http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/
In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that. Flexibility and intuitive use of a computer seems to be a thing of the past.

I lost iPhoto, iDVD, iMovie! How can I get them back?

Hi,
I have a PowerBook G4, which originally came with Panther. It came with iPhoto, iDVD, iMovie, Garageband (I think that's it... basically iLife). I bought Tiger and upgraded it. These programs were all still here, and with some downloads, were actually updated. Unfortunately, I was having problems with Mail, Safari, and other programs and I erased my hard drvie and started over. Before doing this, I saved all of my photos, movies, projects, etc, to an external hard drive.
Anyway, when I reinstalled Tiger, it installed it as it comes from the store, not as an upgrade, meaning iLife is not included and installed! So, I paid for all of these programs, which were originally included, and now I don't have them anymore. I tried loading them off of my original recovery discs, but the only way I think I might be able to do that is if I erase everything and start over with Panther, then reinstall Tiger. I'm not sure this will even work, and I know it will take a long time, which I don't have.
Does anyone know how I can get these programs, which I already paid for, without buying iLife?
Thanks

I don't have panther but with my "full disc" of Tiger you can do it this way:
Put in the DVD of Tiger
Open pacifist-> press "not yet" or pay if you want
Open package, choose the DVD of Tiger, there choose "install bundled software"
then click open
now it's looking through the DVD and gives you all the options
for example:contentsofiMovieHDpackage
now click on that one once, then on the top either choose 'install" or "extract to"

IDVD will not launch in iMovie HD 5.0.2

The iDVD will not launch as a notice says it won't launch with my version of osx. I want to be able to burn DVDs but can't. Suggestions???

If you want to use the iLife programs,per Niels response on your other post, you need to upgrade to iLife '06. Looking at the requirements, iLife '06 is the only version you can upgrade to, as iLife '08 and later require Intel processors for iMovie and other functions. One place you can buy it from is: http://hardcoremac.stores.yahoo.net/ilife06.html .
There are some freebie DVD burning programs available, however, you lose the integration that the iLife programs bring with them.
Roxio makes several programs that will burn DVD's. I've used Toast Titanium for years and can recommend it. See http://www.roxio.com/

How does apple want me to create a DVD to play on my DVD player from iMovie? iDVD did not come with my iMac.

It is worth noting that the version of iDVD 7 included with iLife 11 only includes themes from iDVD 5-7. If you want all the older themes you should buy iLife 9, which has the same version of iDVD 7 but with all the themes, and none of the iDVD 7 updaters available from Apple Downloads contain them.
Currently the only certain 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:
https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-21006826-20748 0/Pacifist001.jpg
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
But even though you can still buy iLife 9 or 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
When you try to install iDVD you may see a notice come up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March 2012, because Apple have withdrawn the license to it can no longer be used.
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After installing iDVD reset the time back to the correct time on your Mac.
You may be to use able to use the installer even without setting back the date. Just click on the Continue button and it should work as expected, but for some it will not continue unless the date is set back.
Additional comments:
Apple has clearly indicated in the newest iMacs, Mac mini and Retina Display MacBook Pro that it plans to phase out optical disc drives as soon as possible across the board, providing an external USB drive as an option for users who need one but which is not universally compatible with all Macs.
Users increasingly have fewer opportunities to use optical drives, as the bulk of third party software is now available as a digital download either directly from the vendor or through Apple's App Store. but not all. Apple also sees digital distribution as the future of music and movies, as exemplified in Apple TV, which has never included an optical drive.
The company has never supported any new HD optical disc formats on its products, including Microsoft's ill fated HD-DVD or Sony's Blu-ray format, despite initially being involved in the Blu-ray standardization process. Instead, Apple has put its resources behind developing increasingly higher definition audio and video formats that it can distribute electronically through its own iTunes Store.
And if you think Microsoft are any better, their latest Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced: http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/

The latest anorexic iMacs do not even include a CD drive (or Firewire)! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of optical media - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

Upgrading from iMovie 06 HD to 08??

Is it so that many features are gone in the new iMovie 08. No more nice plugins for nice Transitions, Video FX and so on? And what els is missing?
Is it a bad idea to upgrade if I want to make some cool effects and so on?

Is it a bad idea to upgrade if I want to make some cool effects and so on?
No.
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.
iDVD 08 alone is worth the price of iLife 08. iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 is a terrific combination.
The Web site below has a good comparison of iMovie 08 and iMovie 06.
