True DVD Capacity & Recording Pics in Order. I'm Confused

I expect everybody and their grandmother knows the answer to this, but not me. I have an album of about 1000 pictures I'd like to burn to DVD. The album size is stated at 2.7GB but when I try to burn, it states "disc full". I've can tell that other people have had this problem but I haven't understood the answer. In very simple terms please tell me either what I'm doing wrong, or why a 4.7GB disc can't record 2.7GB of data.
A second issue came to mind as I was looking for an answer on the forum. Someone had the problem of burning an album to disc but then finding the photos did not record in order. I haven't burnt pictures to disc (outside of iDisc) for a long time, but I seem to remember a similar problem. The album I wish to burn has pictures displayed chronologically. Will they stay in the order I have placed them when I record them or is there something special I have to do? If the pictures become all jumbled up then they are kind of useless. Old Toad had a solution for the person with this problem but I didn't really understand.
Please give all answers as if talking to someone who knows how to work the mere basics of iLife, and very little else. I make Fred Flintstone look like Steve Jobs.
Many Thanks, Thompsonbrook

Using the sequential feature in the File export window does not pad zeros so that the files will be listed in the correct order when viewed alphanumerically. It gives you Text-1.jpg instead of text-01.jpg.
To get the correct naming with padded zeros use the Photos->Batch Change->Title to Text option with the checkbox selected to add a sequential number after the text. This will give you one padded zero for exported files from 10 thru 99 and two padded zeros for more than 99.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Need to copy home movies using Insignia dvd/vhs recorder

    I have been attempting for 4 years now to copy my vhs home movies onto dvd.  I purchased an Insignia dvd/vhs recorder for this purpose.  I finally have been successful in recording the dvd where it will play back on the Insignia machine I copied it on but when I send copies to others or try to test the dvd in another player, it will not play the video.  I have tried several types of DVDs as I was told it matters.  I though the DVD-R was the correct one to use because it reads that it will play back in video players.  At least I can play these back on the recorder but I need them to be able to play for those others I have copied them for and for down the road when we the children no longer have this particular recorder.   The dvds finally play back on the recorder but not on my sons dvd player.  Everything I have read says dvds must be finalized but when I go to menu and then dvd, the menu will not let me arrow up to the finalize part.  What can I do?  This is so frustrating and I feel an urgency to get these home movies onto dvd.

    Your DVDs do need to be finalized in order to be viewable on other players. 
    Suggest you sit down with the manual for your unit and read it.  It should tell you, step by step, how to record and finalize the disc.

  • I have a new MacBook Air with Yosemite (no CD/DVD capacity). I want to install Photoshop Elements 6. Can I do this with the serial number? If pse 6 is not compatible, can I upgrade to pse 7. I do not need pse 12 or 13.

    I cannot answer regarding compatibility, but there is no download available for PSE6 if you would need one for this.  You might be able to copy the installation files from a disk to some other removable media that the machine accepts.  Upgrading to PSE7 would not be possible mainly because Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.

  • IDVD "Quit Unexpectedly" as "DVD Capacity" approaches 1 GB?

    I'm having the age old "Quit Unexpectedly" problem, and it seems to occur as my DVD Capacity as read in the "status" tab approaches 1GB (of 4.1) GB.
    My project with 4 movies and the projector project totals 0.6 GB and burns fine every time. If I add another movie that brings the total up to 1.2GB, that's when the quitting thing occurs. (sometimes during background encoding, or sometimes that finishes OK and iDVD quits during the very beginning of stage 4)
    Does this sound familiar to anyone?
    I'm running iDVD 4.0.1 on OS 10.3.9 with at least 30gig left on my boot drive at all times. The movies all have been exported from FCP in DV format.
    17" G4 Powerbook, 1ghz PowerPC, 1GB RAM.
    Thanks for any comments
      Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    Hello Mark,
    I'm running iDVD 4.0.1 on OS 10.3.9
    Your specs at the bottom say OS X 10.4.2. Which one is it? If you run Tiger, you probably have QT 7 which might be a cause for the problem (shooting in the dark here)
    Have you tried:
    • Trashing preferences (com.apple.iDVD.plist) and empty trash
    • Repairing Disk Permissions using Disk Utility
    • Clearing Cache Files (Tools: CacheOutX, Onyx)
    Also: have you tried creating a disk image? Disk Image creation can be enabled in iDVD 4 through a hack (HPfurz). Find some more info here:

  • Linking document info record and purchase order

    Hi all,
    I hope that someone can help me because I'm having a problem with creating links between document info records and purchase orders.
    By default in SAP I can create links between document info record and purchase order ITEMS! When I create that link, I can see it in document info record under Object links tab, but when I double click on the number of purchase order nothing happens (I expected that this purchase order will open).
    Why is that so?
    Why can't I access purchase order from document info record even though the link exists?
    The other question is about creating object links to purchase orders, not purchase order items! Is it possible to link document info record with purchase order?
    I would appreciate quick answer because we're in the middle of a project and we're stuck with that problem.
    Thanks!

    Hi Karlo,
             As you mentioned, object links could be linked to Purchase order items. In customisation you maintain these entries under the node SPRO > Cross Application Components> Document Management--> Control Data --> Define Document Types --> Define Object Links.
    There are many links in the standard system (possible entries).
    The system automatically determines the screen number (dialog box) where the key data for the object is maintained for document maintenance.
    You can check the screens when the screen entry is missing or contains errors by doing the following:
    Start the Object Navigator and display the objects for the development class  CV.
    Expand the function group 130. The structure nodescreens lista all screens that can be used for object links.
    You can make an object link to SAP objects that are not shown in the possible entries list. To do this, proceed as follows:
    In the standard system, there are already two special screens for the module pools SAPLCV130 and SAPLCV140 for the linked SAP object.
    You must create two new screens with the same number for the module pools SAPLCV130 and SAPLCV140 .
    The processing logic must follow that of screen 1204 in program SAPLVC130.
    Create function module OBJECT_CHECK_XXXX (XXXX = object name)
    If the object can be classified, this function module already exists .
    Otherwise copy the function module for linking equipment DOCUMENT_CHECK_EQUI and change it as required for the new object.
    Hope the above instruction helps in solving your problem,

  • Why does th  It is a QuickTime movie from a dvd home recording.

    Why does the audio stop after the movie starts?  It is a QuickTime movie on a dvd home recording.  Also, the video is choppy.
    If you are referring to an MOV file stored on a data DVD for playback in the QT (or similar) media player and not a DVD "authored" for commercial DVD device playback, then it sounds like you encoded it incorrectly. Basically DVD devices have a limited data transfer rate and if this rate is lower than the total playback data rate (combined video + audio data rates), then some of the data is not transfered to your computer fast enough for smooth playback in your media player.
    I would normally recommend compressing your movie content using the H.264/AAC codecs (most efficient Mac standard codecs) and set the "Optimization" pop-up to the "CD/DVD ROM" setting. This option will "package" the encoded content for playback directly from a DVD player that is compatible with data rate limit you impose for the encode. Another option would be to copy the file from your DVD to your computer drive for playback since hard drive data rate transfer is much greater than that of a DVD player.

  • DVD's from my DVD/VHS Recorder are not sharp/ Why?

    Hello!
    I have a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac that works perfectly. What I want to know is why my DVD-R's made on my DVD/VHS Recorder look grainy with low sound on my iMac but look great on any regular DVD player and television. Does anybody know why this is? Is it possible to change this with my iMac or the DVD/VHS recorder? Thanks

    Your television is not capable of showing video at the high rez level your computer is plus you are sitting closer to the computer. Video coming from a video recorder is analog and medium quality. There's typically some loss of signal quality during translation to the computer. Enjoy them on the TV and stop worrying about it.

  • I don't have space on iPhone and iPad anymore.. So I bought 10GB on iCloud and backup both electronics. So what I wanna know is can I delete my apps and pics in order to get more space on my devices

    I don't have space on my iPhone and iPad anymore.. So I bought 10GB on iCloud and backup both devices. So what I wanna know is can I delete my apps and pics in order to get more space on my devices?

    You can delete apps (which will also delete their content), but they will only be redownloadable whilst they remain in your country's store - none of your iTunes downloads (apps, music, ibooks etc) use any of your iCloud storage, iCloud is for your backups (e.g. app's content, camera roll photos, messages, homescreen layout).
    To delete an app, press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'
    You can delete photos from your iPad, but if you want them back then you should copy them to your computer first.
    Copying photos to a computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    You can also copy your downloads (apps, music, films etc) to your computer's iTunes by connecting your iPad and/or iPhone to it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.

  • IDVD Status  DVD Capacity issue

    The DVD Capacity indicates 2.6GB & 77 min. when I start the burn process to create .img file. When it finishes (& usually fails) the DVD capacity indicates 3.6GB and 77 minutes. I've never had this problem before.
    My iMovie consists of 786 jpg photos with subtitles on each and background music. iDVD will create the .img file OK if have no chapter markers. As soon as I add chapter markers I get the -34506 error. I tried exporting to QT and back. I've tried exporting to tape and back with same results. While working on this project I've done iMovies consisting of 99% imported video, 80 min. long and everything goes fine. I do all the delete pref.,repair permissions, clear caches, restart, etc.
    Any idea why the DVD capacity indicates such a file increase? Must have something to do with "all photos". It appears about 1 hr of photos is the limit in iMovie. Why? I have plenty of free space on the hard drives. I wonder if my memory of 768MB is a limiting factor. Thanks Terry
    Power Mac G4 1 GHz Dual   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    <if my memory of 768MB is a limiting factor.>
    are you talking about remaining memory on your HD? if so it sure would be a problem.
    < indicates 2.6GB & 77 min... DVD capacity indicates 3.6GB and 77 minutes>
    I'm not sure on this one, but I think that when iDVD encodes your movie, it resizes it to make the best use of the entire DVD space which is under 4GB (out of 4.7GB). This way it chooses the best size to provide the best quality /VS available space on the DVD given the entire numbers of files.
    < I've tried exporting to tape and back with same results.>
    instead of exporting the file (I assume from iMovie), why not use the file inside the iMovie Projectfile? No need to export anything. Save one step.
    Chapters
    1-Once you have saved your project in iMovie, you can select the iMovie file(wherever located- movies folder) while pressing the "control" key. You will be getting a list, containing "show package content".
    2-if you have created chapters in iMovie, then select content>shared file>iDVD>XXX.mov.
    (If you did not create any chapter, the folder iDVD would not exist. skip to "No chapters" below)
    3-this file named XXXX.mox (XXX =the name of your file) you can now drag & drop over the iDVD window.
    it will do 2 things. a- it will create one link called xxx.mov for selection of that movie. b- it will also create a folder called "scenes selection" containing all chapters in the iMovie.
    all that without having to export your iMovie to QT.
    No Chapters
    If you did not have any chapters, thenn you can still follow the same as step 1 and 2 above, but from content>cache>timeline.mov.
    This file contains the movie without any chapters.
    try that
    also look at what Silly Rabbit suggested me here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=689798&tstart=0
    I have done what he suggested, and I am still in the encoding process, but it seems to have gone further than before!
    Good luck
