Slide shows on DVD

I compiled and burnd a DVD with 5 slideshows and 1 movie using iMovie5 and iDVD5. Why can I not pause the slideshows as I can the movie? I would like to look at some slides (especially maps) longer than the few seconds given by the application.

Just output the slideshow as a .wmv file and import it to the program of your choice to create the final video dvd.
If you are running Vista Home Premium or Windows 7, it includes a program of Windows DVD Maker, which can make the TV playable DVD disc using the WMV file from the PSE slide show editor.
Use a good quality DVD disc : DVD-R discs seem to be the most universally accepted by TV DVD players.

David,
Below is an extract from a discussion I had with others on forums who had your current dilemma. Adobe's answer is generally to use Adobe Premiere Elements to burn the DVD; if you have it installed there is a additional option to burn to DVD on that menu. However, you may have other choices.
If you have a DVD burner, want to make a PSE 3 or 4 slide show that plays on a TV DVD player, and do not have Premiere Elements:
- create a WMV file using DVD NTSC or DVD PAL (according to your country TV standards) as the OUTPUT parameters
- then read the doc that came with the software that supports your DVD burner (might be Nero, Sonic, Roxio) looking for a function that will create a Video DVD (note that it must specifically be creating/authoring a VIDEO DVD intended for play on TV rather than just burning a data DVD). Once you find this function, use your WMV file from PSE 4 as the input and choose the software options that give you a video DVD.
Based on my experience and conversing with others on forums, this will give you a DVD that is significantly better quality than the Elements VCD (written to a CD) and but not quite as good as a program that does a slide show direct to DVD. Quality is a subjective judgement, so I am not saying this is the answer for everyone. However, my philosphy is generally to try the software I have first before purchasing additional software.
Notes: For Sonic, I used a MyDVD limited edition that came with my burner. For Nero, I communicated with someone who did it with Nero Vision Express. I don't have any specifics for Roxio.
Notes: Creation of the WMV will almost always take a long time - depending on the number of slides and the number and type of transitions, zooms, pans. Each photo must downsized in resolution, then each individual type of motion must be applied; these photos must then become frame per second video (a significantly different format translation). All this takes time and processor power.

Error burning Slide Show to DVD

In the completion stage of the DVD burn in PreE 4 I receive the following error message.- Device error - Sense Code (37304) -program memory area / rma update failure.
Can anyone tell me what the problem may be? Previously i have burned a slide show successfully. Now, after 2 trys for this slide show I receive this same error message.
Sanray19

This error can display two reasons
1. Bad quality disc solution : Use a new disck
2. DVD driver is incorrect or Power supply or disconnect the cable while encoding process is ongoing. : solution : Burn it again.
3. You are working long time in editng, this scenario memory would increased, so that application would not get enough memory generate encoded file. Solution : Restart and burn again.

Pse8, copying slide show to dvd

Can slide shows from PSE8 be copied to DVD?

Yes, but not directly. Elements can make a data dvd, but not a video dvd. You need to save the slideshow as a WMV file then use another program (premiere elements, whatever software came with your dvd burner) to create the proper directory structure if you mean you want to make a video dvd that will play in a regular dvd player.

Burning slide show to dvd

How do i burn my photo slide show i created in i-movie to a DVD? i tried doing from idvd but it wont play on my pc?

I recommend you study the iDVD tutorials from Apple.
If you feel like you know what you are doing and you have followed the tutorials, you may have a failing DVD drive. Call Apple for help getting the DVD drive repaired.
iDVD tutorials should be available in iDVD under Help menu.

No music when i burn my slide show to dvd in idvd

I selected the share to burn I slide show. This opened the idvd and transfered the info to it. I was able to burn a dvd, but the music did not transfer.
I am not able to open and edit the drop box to add music. I dont know what to try. Thanks.

Thanks so much for your possible solution. If I can pull this off , I will no longer curse adobe PSE 13.
I'm still a long was off to accomplish this goal but I will surely give it a try. H264 (mp4) is still Greek to me.

Changes in slide show on DVD

1.I made a slide show with Photoshop Elements 4 and burn it to a DVD-RW with Premiere Elements. After several try it works.All 750 photos with transitions are there and I saw it on T.V.
2 Back in PE4, I made some changes in the slideshow and save it.I understand these changes are not automatically transfer in Premiere.
3.Question:how can I also modify the version in Premiere?Do I have to start all over again and burn a new DVD or is there another way to do it.?
4.Question: looking the DVD in Premiere I noticed many photos are missing in the assembly at the bottom of the screen but I can view all in the center of the screen.Why?
Thanks for help.

>Do I have to start all over again and burn a new DVD or is there another way to do it.?
I think that the simplest approach will be to burn a new DVD using the same process from PSE 4. You say you used a DVD-RW so I think you can burn again on the same disc; I have done it with a DVD+RW.
In theory you could modify the Premiere Elements timeline to reproduce the same changes that you made in the PSE 4 slideshow - but you would still need to burn to DVD again. If do you start again from PSE 4 then I think you will need to redo any DVD menus you made in PE2.
>looking the DVD in Premiere I noticed many photos are missing in the assembly at the bottom of the screen but I can view all in the center of the screen.Why?
When you look at your show in Premiere, it has already been made in to a video so they are no longer individual slides. I suspect that the fact that you are not seeing all of the photos is because of the scale that is being used by default to display the timeline of the video in Premiere Elements. If you zoom in on that timeline, I think you should be able to see individual photos. I think that there is a scale setting that you can change for the timeline - but I don't immediately recall what it is.
For more detailed answers to these questions you might try the Premiere Elements forum because there are multiple participants on that forum who know PSE 4 and PE2.

I want excellent quality slide shows to dvd

I have been using iPhoto 6 to make slide shows set to music and then send them to IDvd to burn. After this process is complete, I am disappointed with the quality of the finished product.
I am a pro photographer who shoots raw files with a Nikon D200. I edit in Lightroom (sorry, not Aperture) and convert to full size jpgs with Photoshop. These are very good files in terms of sharpness and color, etc. The jpgs range in size from 2.5MB to 5.8 MB. This is not garbage in, garbage out. I then import them into my iPhoto library and build a slide show. When finished with transitions, effects, whatever, I send my project to iDVD for the finishing touches. I have selected the best quality and fomat for 16x9 wide screen TV. The show comes out just as I designed it, music works without a hitch. To view the DVD on my cinema display or wide screen TV, etc. the sharpess and quality of the images in the show are disappointing. Looks OK (just OK) from afar, but it seems like the quality should be so much better. Granted, my standards are high and I want this to be a professional presentation. Are these the wrong products for the quality that I desire? Are My files too big? (I doubt it) How can my projects reflect the quality of the images that go into them? If these are not professional products, what products might do this better?

I've found that creating the slideshow directly in iDVD gives me the best quality image when played. However, if I play a 4:3 aspect DVD project on my widescreen it doesn't look as good. But when I create the project in the 16:9 widescreen mode, it displays quite well on the widescreen TV as it's masked properly. If I crop the photos to the 16:9 ration the widescreen display is very good. Since the standard DVD image is reduced to 640 x 480 at 72 dpi, there's not much you can do to get a lot better. If you use the Ken Burns effect in iPhoto then you do want to have the largest image size possible so the zoomed portion of the effect is not reduced. As I recall the widescreen image size is 855 480 or so.
The reason I like creating the slideshow in iDVD is that it really is a slideshow. You can move back and forth slide by slide with a click of the remote. With the movie type it's rewind or fast forward.

Burning a slide show on DVD

I've created a slide show in iPhoto using a song which plays 2 1/2 times. When I try to burn the slide show on to a DVD It only plays the song once and stops. How do I burn the slide show at its full length?

As per my understanding, you created a slideshow in PSE organizer and now want to burn into DVD using Output dialog which launches PRE...
Which application crashes and at which step??

How to burn decent resolution slide show onto DVD ?

First of all I'm a newbie to this (PS8 Elements and Premier). I have a slide show with music in "Slide Show Editor". When I view this slide show in 'Full Screen Preview" I see a decent resolution but when I burn the slide show onto a DVD the resolution sucks if it's shown in "Full Screen". ( the slide show looks decent if shown in a smaller screen). I took the pictures with a 7 mega pixel camera. Another thing that happens when viewing "Full Screen" in the burned DVD is the text (if it fills the whole screen) some text is hidden around the borders.I burn the DVD in the Premier program.

Thanks for your reply. I'll try what you typed but the
hard part will be figuring how .

Slide show on DVD

Hi,
I am searching for some software that creates a slide show from a set of .jpg files and burns that slide show on a CD or DVD. The slide show should open on a computer (e.g. with IE Explorer) and also play on a DVD player. Roxio has software in Europe (Winon, I have version 3.8), this does the above but only works on Windows machines, no Mac equivalents; and not even available in the US. The format used is video-CD. Nero does the same, Windows only, announced a Neromax version but gave up on it. Does anybody know of any Mac software with these capabilities?
Thanks in advance,
Reinhart

Hi Len,
Thanks for your input, got iDVD to work. It still does not match the capabilities of Winon (playing on DVD players plus automatic opening on a computer with IE, PC or Mac). Hard to understand why such a program is not more widely promoted (or cloned). Maybe Europe has more demand for something like this.
Thanks again,
Reinhart

I've made some pretty complex slideshow DVDs with
iDVD.
Ireland 2004 iDVD Project
Nearly 800 images dragged into iDVD as organized
folders from the hard drive. Transitions on each
image, and menus, sub-menus, and sub-sub menus. The
sub-menus are created by clicking on the Folder icon
on the iDVD interface.
Main Menu has 6 buttons: Downpatrick, Antrim Coast,
Letterkenny, Sligo, Trim, and Extras. Behind each
button are additional buttons ranging from 3 to 6
buttons. The Extras button goes fairly deep. When you
click on Extras, it gives you 3 choices on a new
menu. The "B&Bs" button opens a new menu with 5
buttons. The "Movies" button opens a new menu with 4
buttons. If you click on the "Irish Music" button,
you open a new menu with 2 buttons. At that point,
you are at a "sub-sub-sub menu."
Music was on 95 of the slideshows. Some movies
converted to QT DV from Canon S400 digicam .AVI files
(iDVD 4). Now convert to H.264 with QuickTime 7.
Images are original 4MP (2MB) JPEG images from the
same digicam. This DVD project is around 4GB with all
pictures as DVD-ROM content.

Why can't I burn my slide show to DVD in photoshop elements 13. Do I have to buy another program update .?

Photo shop elements make a nice slide show but will not let me burn it to DVD which makes it useless to me.
How do I get the photoshop slide show to burn in another program.?

Thanks so much for your possible solution. If I can pull this off , I will no longer curse adobe PSE 13.

What Software/Techniques Needed to Write Slide Show to DVD?

Created my first slide show of +/- 1,200 slides in PSE 4.0 slideshow. No problem there. I want to burn this slideshow to a DVD that I can use in a laptop or other computer to view the slideshow on other computers with DVD drives, not necessarily to view on a TV. PSE 4.0 Help file says: Select "File"; then "Output Slide Show"; then "Burn to disc"; then "Select DVD Option." I'm ok to step "Burn to disc," but then there is no "Select DVD Option." Only options at this point are to select video format (NTSC or PAL), and Output Speed. "Burn VCD on drive (Phillips DVD+RW-D28)" is pre-printed in the dialog box and cannot be changed. Inserted a DVD+RW in drive, clicked "OK," and this disk was immediately ejected with a pop-up box reading "Incompatible media. Please insert a blank CD-R or a CD-RW disk to burn the VCD". (1,200 slides will not fit on VCD.) One user suggestion to reboot the computer to see a DVD option on screen did not help. My OS System is Windows XP. Two programs installed on my computer with the DVD burner, that I believe are DVD authoring programs: MyDVD v.3.5, and PowerDVD v.4.0. Must I have Photoshop Premiere Elements 2.0, or some additional software (recommendation?) to create a "portable" slideshow to view on other computers?
Would appreciate any help!

>Must I have Photoshop Premiere Elements 2.0, or some additional software (recommendation?) to create a "portable" slideshow to view on other computers?
Glad that you added the fact that you want to play the DVD on other computers - it does make a difference. As the prior post indicated, you really do need Premeire Elements or Nero Vision Express or Sonic MyDVD to make the DVD to view on a TV DVD player.
However, there is something else that might work if all people who will watch this slide show have a DVD player on their PC/laptop and play it using Windows Meida Player 10. So I suggest that you try it on your PC.
- In the slide show Editor of PSE 4, do your Output command to a WMV file on your hard drive.
- Then use whatever DVD software came with DVD burner to burn this WMV file to a DVD as a data file (NOT as a video DVD). Choose an output resolution that will be good for the monitors of the recipients.
- Next try to play this DVD on your system using Windows Media Player 10 (I don't know if earlier versions will play). I doubt that the software on your PC that plays commercial DVDs will play the WMV file; that is why I directed you to use Windows Media Player.
If you plan to distribute this to the general public, I think you will have problems with the recipients not having the necessary hardware or not understanding that they can't use their normal DVD player software. However if you are sending to a limited set of relatives and friends, it might work. If anyone has an Apple computer, I think there is software that will play a WMV file on Apple software, but it seems that many people may not have it.
In closing I will say
- be sure to save your slide show as a project so you can do multiple experiements (you may have already done this)
- it would be much more flexible as to how it is played if you did make a video DVD. However, you actually have a choice of using higher resolutions if you only save as a WMV file for play on a computer.

Auflösung einer als Slide-Show auf DVD gebrannten Serie Bilder

Ich habe etwa 100 von der Digitalkamera in Photoshop Elements 4.0 übertragene Bilder bearbeitet und dann Slide-Show-Kreation erstellt, anschliessend zur Abspielung auf dem Full-HD TV auf DVD gebrannt. Warum ist bei der TV-Betrachtung die Auflösung plötzlich schlecht (unscharf). Habe die gleiche Kreation als PDF auf DVD gebrannt und da ist die Qualität sehr gut, kann aber die Slide-Show nicht mit Musik untermalen. Ich habe beim Brennen "hohe Qualität" ausgewählt. Support unterstützt Version 4.0 nicht.

Koennte diese (alte) Diskussion eventuell behilflich sein? Ich kenne mich leider mit Slide-Shows nicht aus...
