Trying to create a dvd with video and slides...need help

I am trying to make a dvd that includes video from my sister's wedding but I would also like it to include slideshows that I have already created in iDVD. Her wedding video was taken in to a shop and put onto a DVD. I would like to take the video from that DVD and combine it with my slideshows so that everything is on one disc. Plus, the menus (or lack thereof) from the DVD the shop made are HORRIBLE. Can someone tell me how to do this?
Also, if you could explain how to insert chapters into the video once I have it into iDVD that would be appreciated. They did not include these on the DVD from the shop so it's one long movie with no way of skipping ahead short of fast forwarding.
Thank you very much for any input.
Michael

Hi, Michael,
I did for my daughter's wedding what you are trying to do for your sister's. You can do it this simple way:
I took her wedding DVD and copied some of it onto DV tape and imported that into iMovie where I edited it down to some clips I wanted to go with the still photos I already had.
To copy the DVD footage, I just put the disk into our DVD player, connected my camcorder and recorded it. Yes, there was a slight loss of quality, but not very detectable in the final product. After all, I am not a professional wedding videographer and some of the stills were from inexpensive snapshot cameras.
The final video still turned out well.
I actually did another longer one, this time using the original DV footage from the wedding videographer--he let us have it because he took so long to make the DVD! The DVD I made from that is of course better quality, but not that much better that I would go to more trouble to get it.

Using export slide show from iphoto, I am trying to create a DVD of photos and vid clips in large format. The vid clips do not work using burn software. Any idea?

Using export slide show from iphoto, I am trying to create a DVD of photos and vid clips in large format. The vid clips do not work using burn software. Any idea?

Have used large format, but using the 'burn' software, I am not getting seamless video quality on DVD even though I am burning at 2* speed. Any ideas? Do I need better software? Or is there a problem with the SuperDrive?

Creating BITC DVD with FCP and DVD Studio Pro

Ok so here's my question:
I've created a sequence with BITC, and now I want to export it to DVD studio pro so I can burn it to a dvd. I've been exporting as a quicktime movie, at DV PAL Anamorphic res. When I bring it into DVD Studio as an asset, it has to re-encode.
Can I drop one of these steps - ie. how do I export from FCP so that the resulting file does not need to be re-encoded in DVD studio.
I'm sure this is really very simple, but it's going to help me a lot - I have several (10-15) hours of footage to do this with. Thanks in advance...

export the file as a QT not self-contained use current settings
luanch Compressor, drag and drop the QT file on to the window then encode to get
M2V video and AC3 sound file
import those into DVDSP

HT1479 DVD with video and images

I need to burn a DVD that contains both video AND images for viewing at another location. My video is not burning correctly, as in the audio drops out and the video gets choppy. I've tried several times on my new souped up iMac w/ OS 10.8. Any ideas?

I have to send the DVD in the mail to another state to be viewed there. It's for a job application, so I need all of the material - both jpgs and .mov files - to be playable on another Mac. This should be cake, but for some reason the .mov files are not transferring in the burn.

I'm new with HTML and CSS, need help

I'm creating a static html webpage for an assignment. Someone suggested to me that I could manually create my webpage using dreamweaver instead of creating it from scratch, which has turned out much easier. However one of the tasks require me to Create a CSS stylesheet to work with my structural HTML. So my question is where is the CSS code inspector (if there is one). Is it possible for me to somehow add this and link it to my HTML?
Sorry if my question isn't clear, I'm quite new to this and have only a general idea of what I am doing.

Because the assignment requires me to submit the css and html separately. It means both have to be done is separate Notepad files (this is where I will paste the code from dreamweaker to submit).
I'll save the html as hompage.html and the CSS as homepage.css
So I don't know if I can use option 2.
My teacher wants to be able to open my css and amend it so that all her amendments actually work with my html.
So lets say this is my html that I copy from dreaweavers inspector:
<html>
<head>
<title>Search Engine Title Goes Here</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="hompage.css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="container"> </div>
<div id="header"> Header Goes Here</div>
<div id="sidebar"> Left Navigation Goes Here</div>
<div id="content"> <p>Content Goes Here</p></div>
<div id="footer"> Footer Goes Here </div>
</body>
</html>
How would I write my css, would it be like this? (assume this is my homepage.css file):
body {background: #ffffff; margin: 0; padding: 0;}
a {color: #2b2bf6;}
#container {width: 900px; margin: 0; padding: 0; background: #dddddd;}
#header {width: 900px; height: 150px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; background: #f346e1;}
#sidebar {width: 200px; height: 400px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; float: left; background: #f0e811;}
#content {width: 700px; height: 400px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; float: left; background: #8be0ef;}
#footer {width: 900px; height: 70px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; float: left; background: #000000; clear:both;}
I saw this example on the internet, would this work?

In order to enable or disable a control you need to write a U8 value to the Disabled property of the property node for that control.
The values are:
0 = Enabled
1 = Disabled
2 = Disabled and Grayed Out

Using IDVD to create a DVD with HDV footage edit in Final Cut

I tried to create a DVD with IDVD 5. It was a 5 minute hdv movie edited in Final Cut and the result was really bad.
I have tried the best quality option but it's still a disaster. I taught about using compressor but It would take 110 hours to compress this movie in h:264
What is my solution?

DVD with video plus database with nice browserlike interface

We've created some nice DVD's with menus for chapters and the like. Now the challenge is to create a dvd with video chapters, but also with a link on the DVD menu to a database with a nice graphical browserlike interface. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions here?

Hi Massimok
Welcome to the forum.
There have been quite a few posts about DVD@ccess lately, which is the feature you're probably wanting to use. The problem is this only works on macs. I've not played around with this feature yet but the consensus seems to be that the way to make DVD-ROM features accessible cross-platform is to use eDVD to add/edit this functionality after the VIDEO_TS folder is built.
I've had no experience with this though so a more informed opinion would be most appreciated.
Cheers

Can I Make A DVD With Video & 24-Bit Audio?

I want to make a DVD with videos and, as a special feature, 13 24-bit enhanced playable audio tracks.
Is this possible in iDVD?
Thanks!

Toast 8 has a 96kHz/24-bit option in making Music DVDs as well as a 48 kHz/24-bit option. (Note: these are NOT DVD-Audio discs which require a special player.)
'Normal' Toast audio is 48 kHz/16-bit.

(From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results. That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option. Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
Hope this helps!

After creating a DVD with music, the pictures all come out fuzzy and not sharp. Why

After creating a DVD with music, the pictures all come out fuzzy and not sharp. I have tried all the options, and nothing works, they all come out fuzzy. I have wasted about a dozen DVD's

Have you tried enhancing and sharpening in Premiere Elements before burning to disk?
What steps are you doing exactly?

DVD's are only 640 x 480 (interlaced), so yes, the quality is not nearly as good. You should probably create your .mov in DV format to best match the DVD format
