Transfer Bridge slideshow to a DVD
How do you transfer your Bridge slideshow to a DVD
In a nutshell, you can't. It's a long-standing request.
Meanwhile, there is Fotomagico <http://boinx.com/fotomagico/>, not cheap, but more bells and whistles than you can shake a stick at. And yes, you can set a slideshow to music and put that on a CD or another computer (without the source images) and it works great.
I just found Apimac on the web, no clue about the quality or if this can do what you want.
Good luck,

How to get best slideshow images on DVD?
I just created a DVD using several slideshows from iPhoto. I exported these slideshows from iPhoto as "large" QT movies. These files look pretty good in iPhoto and as QT movies, but once the DVD was burned, I noticed that the compression on these movies was of a far inferior quality (as it was more compressed, I assume) to the original exported QT movie.
Since DVDs can hold far greater than the size of these .mov files, I am unclear why iDVD has to compress them so much. Is there a way to transfer these slideshows to a DVD without having some much compression? Is there a setting within iDVD? Or would it be better to import the photos and then set up the slideshow in iDVD rather than iPhoto? Or is this overall a limitation of iDVD, that is, would these .mov files look bettter if using DVD Studio Pro?
Thanks for any help/suggestions.Madcow,
You'll get lots of opinions on this subject!
I think if you use the "Send to iDVD" command from within iPhoto, you get good results transferring to iDVD. People have had problems with audio, but it's a very easy and usually reliable route.
iDVD has to change the compression to MPEG2, because that's what the DVD standard requires. The resolution goes down and the file size goes up because MPEG2 is not a very effective compression scheme for stills, it was meant for full motion video. The best you can do within iDVD is to choose "best quality" in the iDVD prefs. Remember that standard video resolution is 720X480 for all DVDs, far lower than the resolution of that sideshow as "large" or when you view it on your mac from within iPhoto.
Your other options:
Build the slideshow within iDVD - probably the most reliable option.
Build the slideshow in iMovie or other apps like PhotoToMovie (my personal favorite).
Resolution on all of these options should be the same when everything works right. Be sure to use the iDVD "constrain" tool within iPhoto to size your files correctly for iDVD......

How to Export an Aperture Slideshow to a DVD?
I am using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Aperture 3.2.2 on an iMac.
I have followed the procedure set out in the Manual by selecting "Export" and choosing "Export for HD1080p" and then burning the exported slideshow to a DVD-R but neither my DVD player nor Apple's DVD Player software recognise the resultiing disk. I can successfully create a slideshow in iDVD and burn it to a DVD which will play on both platforms but I understand that iDVD is being or has been discontinued so that option will soon be unavailable.
What am I doing wrong? Help!Thanks again, leonie. I will certainly continue to use iDVD as long as I can. But the people at the Apple Store warn me that future upgrades to the operating syatem may not support iDVD. I guess I'li cross that bridge when I come to it.
Have a great day,

I am trying to find an app or software to burn iMovie 11 slideshow to a dvd. I have a MacBook Pro with Mavericks. There are a lot of DVD Creator apps at the App store. Looking for a recommendation of what to use and tips. Thank you.
I've been using "Burn" for years and it has been the only DVD burning software I have ever used for the mac. I have never needed to look at other apps. Unless you want something that has more bells and whistles such as Roxio's "Toast" : http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/pro/overview.html
There are thousands of quality free apps out there for the mac that are not part of the App Store. All you have to do is read reviews online, do a little search, the Apple forums are full of recommendations from experienced users that have been here for years... -
Can Apple TV play wmv, ppt or view Photoshop Bridge slideshows?
I am considering purchasing Apple TV. I am hoping that I can replace the HDMI cable from my MacBook Pro to my HD TV with the Apple TV setup. Now I view wmv and ppt files playing on my MacBook on my HD TV and Adobe Bridge slideshows. That is in addition to NetFlix and movies.
My motivation to purchase Apple TV is to view MLB.com games on my HD TV which I can not reliably do when I choose the fill screen option in the MLB media player. If I do so do I would like to not have to use my present HDMI cable any longer.No, it plays none of those formats.

Hi... I am looking for an inexpensive app for my macbook pro that I can put pictures and videos together into a slideshow with captions and music WITHOUT a watermark and that also will burn the slideshow to a DVD in its own app. Help?
The issue with the A1400 is that like most economy compact cameras, they will not have very fast focus times in indoor lighting situations. Many people have gone to entry level DSLR's (Canon T3i) or micro 4/3 cameras. They are fairly expensive, but a late model refurbished T3i can sometimes be found with a kit lens for about $300.00. With Auto and scene modes, as well as full manual modes, these are very versatile cameras that focus very quickly, even in lower lighting situations. Canon is not really into the micro 4/3 cameras, instead they are focusing on the new G7x and G1x cameras, which are way out of your price range. The A720 is still available used at some places such as KEH camera, but you'll need to check often as their stock changes constantly. Obviously the DSLR's don't use AA batteries, but the T3i is good for about 600 photos (or more) per charge.
My refurbished DSLR was practically brand new condition when I got it. I could not find any sign of wear at all, so I feel they are a real bargain. These are rugged cameras that are made to last. The A1400 is a $99.00 camera, so it's not intended for heavy usage, plus the image quality of a DSLR (even entry level) is far better than the A1400. That would be my recommendation.

Burning an iPhoto slideshow onto a DVD
How can I burn an iPhoto slideshow onto a DVD? I have created a slideshow with music but cannot determine how to burn it to a DVD. I've tried to use iDVD but cannot figure it out. I need very basic instructions, please.
Thank you!Depends on information you do not supply - but burn a slide show to DVD export it to the desktop as a QuickTime movie and the using the finder burn it to dial - it can be played on any device that can play QuickTime
To play on a DVD player it must be authored which requires iDVD or other authoring software like Toast - neither involves iPhoto - there is a iDVD forum and Toast has a support forum

How can I make an iPhoto slideshow into a DVD in Lion?
How can I make an iPhoto slideshow into a DVD in Lion?
If you MacBook Pro came with Lion preinstalled then you will not have a copy of iDVD. That's because iDVD and iWeb have been discontinued by Apple and is not longer being included in iLife.
You can purchase a copy from Amazon.com: iLive 11.
If you do have Lion this post will self destruct in 10, 9, 8... seconds and you can follow Terence's directionsl
As for iDVD the following is a recommended workflow to follow;
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 and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was 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.

How do i burn an iPhoto slideshow onto a DVD?
how do I burn an iphoto slideshow onto a DVD? and a blueraycompatable DVD?
Export the slideshow from iPhoto, that makes a movie of it.
Do you want to use this DVD in a domestic DVD player? If so, then the disk will have to be 'authored' to make it the correct form for that. If you have iDVD then that's the app you use. However, iDVD is no longer developed or distributed by Apple. You may be able to get it on an old iLIfe install disk.
Other options:
Burn: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/21992/burn
Toast: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/6351/toast-titanium
But there are lots of others too. Search on the App Store or MacUpdate
As for Bluray you'll need an app (and a burner) that can create that format.

how can i burn a slideshow to a dvd disc and keep the same full screen hi-def quality to it? I exported it to idvd but much of the quality was lost.
Ask in the iDVD forum on what's the best way out of iPhoto and into iDVD. The resident expert there, Bengt Wärleby, can give you the best option.

Hi...
2 questions about the adding a slideshow to a DVD using iDVD 08. Are you only able to allow one type of transition for the slideshow? I really would like to have an option where it randomly switches between types of transitions. Seeing the same transition for hundreds of photos is boring to me. Also, I chose the page turn transition to test out the slideshow on a DVD and it seems that right before it turns the page the picture goes blurry. Has anyone else noticed this? Please tell me there is a fix for this... and also a way to do multiple transitions on a finished DVD slideshow.
Thanks!!+right before it turns the page the picture goes blurry+
I have the same issue, and it happens with several different transition types (I tried dissolve, page turn, and cube and they all had the problem...) To me it looks like a glitch in the rendering process as it happens right before every transition starts, and the last picture of each slideshow (which has no subsequent transition) has no blur. Sadly, I have this problem with iDVD 6.0.3 and I was hoping that upgrading to iLife 08 might bring a fix.
I did notice, that the problem is most evident on my HD tv with a Panasonic DMR-EH75V DVD player. On my Macbook the problem is still unacceptably noticable, but not quite as bad. On a G3-powered slot loading iMac, the picture blur is nearly imperceptable. Finally on my old standard TV with a Samsung DVD-V1000 there is no hint of the blur problem.
It may be that changing settings on the DVD player can reduce or eliminate the blur, but for me that is not really an acceptable solution because I am creating a Wedding DVD for some clients and I have no idea what kind of hardware they will end up playing it back on.
