Using iDVD themes for commercial DVDs?

If I produce a DVD with iDVD using one of the standard themes can I sell the DVD without copyright problems?

John,
You can read over the SLA http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/iLife11.pdf
I went through it and the only thing I found relating to this topic is MPEG-2 for only consumer use.
Hope this helps.

  • Using idvd themes in imovie and photshop?

    hi,
    i would like to use idvd themes for the cover art of a dvd and sounds for imovie clips. therefore, i wanted to know if and how it's possible to find the image-file of an idvd theme so that i can import it into photoshop, as well if and how i can find the sound-file of an idvd theme so that i can use it in imovie. i would be happy if i can avoid using extra software like audio hijack pro etc. to extract the sound and graphics. is there's an easy way to find and use those files?
    regards,
    andi

    You can look in the parcel contents, richt click or control click, than in the "contents" folder the "Recources" folder there you can find "tif" files.
    Its a long list.

  • Using iDVD themes

    How do I import iDVD theme footage into DVD Studio Pro? I have no idea where the iDVD themes are even stored on my hard drive... I've looked, believe me.

    In Finder, go to the iDVD icon in the Applications folder...then right-click (or control-click for the one-button mouse) and select "show package contents". You'll find the iDVD themes in Resources/Resources...but I'm not sure about importing iDVD theme footage into DVDSP. The documentation seems to indicate that you can if using iDVD versions prior to iDVD5, but I've never tried it.

  • Using system fonts for commercial printing?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know the licensing rights/usage for using system fonts for commercial printing? If I understand correctly, system fonts that comes from operating system CAN be use because Apple purchase the rights on them and end users that purchase OS can use these fonts freely as long as not we are not redistributing them for profit, etc.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction with official documentation on the subject?
    Thanks!

    Never mind, I found the answer. It's in Apple's OS EULA.
    "E. Fonts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you may use the fonts included
    with the Apple Software to display and print content while running the Apple Software; however,
    you may only embed fonts in content if that is permitted by the embedding restrictions
    accompanying the font in question. These embedding restrictions can be found in the Font
    Book/Preview/Show Font Info panel."

  • How do you burn an iMovie project to a DVD without using iDVD themes?

    I created a presentation (slide show with music) in iMovie and need to burn it to a DVD.  When I pull it into iDVD, it forces me to pick a theme which puts more music in.  I just want it the way I have it in iMovie!  How do I do that?

    (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!

  • Use iTunes music for customer DVD

    Hi
    A customer has asked me to edit some footage from camcorder tapes for her and put them on a DVD with some background music.  The tracks she has asked for she does not have and has asked me to get them for her.
    As I am only producing a single DVD for her and will get the appropriate licence in the UK from the MCPS/PRS, can I purchase the music from iTunes or should I buy the CDs.
    Thanks in advance
    Matt

    I can buy a set of tracks from iTunes, burn them to a CD using another app, delete the purchased tracks from my Library and my hard drive, and then import them from the CD I burned, and AT THAT POINT the licensing terms for the music change because they are no longer "purchased from the iTunes store" as far as ANY technology can differentiate, but rather from a CD I own (regardless of how I came to own it)?
    No, you cannot do that. The licensing you agree to when you purchase from the iTunes Store remains in effect regardless of how you are storing the tracks.
    Or are you saying that DRM remains intact throughout the entire process and I'm violating terms (or the law) if I lend a CD to someone that I burned from iTunes purchases?
    You are violating the terms of sale if you lend the CD to anyone else. You are also violating the law if you allow the person to keep the tracks.
    If not, I stand on my statement: Purchased IS purchased... at least it is in the U.S. according to the DMCA.
    Your statement is still wrong. You are contractually prohibited from using any content purchased from the iTunes Store for anything other than your own personal use. You can read the iTunes Store terms of sale for yourself (for the US, since you mention that country, but all the other stores have the same terms):
    http://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/us/terms.html#SALE
    The DMCA does not come into play in this matter, this being an issue of licensing, not copyright or DRM.

  • Unable To Use DVDSP4 Presets for HD-DVD in the H.264 Format

    I recently prepared a 23 minute slide show using Fotomagico from high resolution Hasselblad slides scanned in at 1200 dpi. Within Fotomagico I rendered the Fotomagico slide show to Apple ProRes 422 HQ, took it into Final Cut Pro 6.03 and added an intro and closing section. I then sent this to Compressor and selected the 30 minute HD-DVD preset which uses mpeg2. All went fine with the encoding to mpeg2 and I got a successful build and format out of DVDSP4 after importing the resulting .m2v file into DVDSP4. However, while the disk plays back fine in my Mac Pro it plays back with stuttering (audio and video) on my Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD player. I used a Verbatim Datalife DVD+R, but several other discs from other manufactuers including a DVD-R disc showed the same problem.
    Please note that I have the latest firmware on my Toshiba HD-A2 and I have successfully burned RL HD-DVD discs using my PC and Windows software (Ulead's DVD Movie Factory 6+) which play fine without stuttering on my HD-A2.
    I then decided to send the project to Compressor and use the 60 minute HD-DVD preset that encodes to H.264. Once again Compressor successfully executed the encode of my 23 minute slide show and it plays fine in QuickTime or MPEG StreamClip. However, every time I try and import this .mov file encoded in H.264 using the Compressor preset for HD-DVD into DVDSP4, DVDSP4 brings it in to the assets folder, but after a couple of seconds DVDSP4 crashes. Using console I get a message that DVDSP4 quit unexpectedly due to a "segmentation fault".
    I also tried to take the ProRes Fotomagic project in Final Cut Pro 6.02 and send it out with Quicktime Conversion using the H.264 codec. Again I have a file that plays fine in QT, but when I try and import this .mov file into DVDSP4, I get the message "imcompatible format".
    In summary, I am completely frustrated after many many hours of work at trying to prepare an HD-DVD on red laser of my slide show in DVDSP4. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong, and I would be most appreciative of any suggestions anyone may have.
    Thanks in advance.

    Am I the only person who has ever tried to use the Presets in Compressor 3 for encoding HD-DVD disks? I would like to use these presets for burning HD-DVD's to standard red laser media as I have done on my PC. With the mpeg2 Preset I can get nothing but stuttering video when played back on my Toshiba HD-A2 and when I use Compressor 3 to encode with either of the H264 presets, the resulting .mov file causes DVDSP4 to crash when I import the file. Has no one else experienced this? Does anyone have any thoughts on addressing these issues other than to go back to working on my PC?

  • Using Portal Theme for a Web Dynpro ABAP Application

    Hello everyone,
    I've created a web-dynpro abap application that I display on one of my portal pages using a Web-dynpro iView.
    Somehow, the WDA app never reads the portal theme properties and has the default SAP roadshow theme colors. I've tried almost everything including passing the theme as an application parameter using WDTHEMEROOT and WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET params.
    Documentation states that the application should automatically read the portal's theme, but it never does.
    Interestingly, I have one more web-dynpro java application that works fine and uses the portal theme correctly.
    Am I missing anything? Are there special considerations for WDA apps to adapt to the current portal theme?
    Any ideas, suggestions, solutions would be greatly appreciated.

    >Am I missing anything? Are there special considerations for WDA apps to adapt to the current portal theme?
    What are the release and support package levels of both your ABAP system and your portal?  If the ABAP AS has a later release or SP level than the portal, the Web Dynpro framework will always fall back to using the theme of the backend ABAP system.  This is to protect the application rendering.  Running with a theme (CSS and JavaScript) from an older release or support package level could cause the application to render incorrectly.

  • Using iDVD Is A Widescreen DVD Possible From Anamorphic DV ?

    I have down-converted HDV to DV and edited it in Final Cut Express.
    When burned in iDVD the video appears as a squashed 4:3 instead of 16:9.
    I have been following these instructions to "trick" iDVD into making a widescreen movie but I can't get the new Scaled Size figures to stick.
    +1. Open the exported file in the QT Pro player.+
    +2. Go to Window>Show Movie Properties (Cmd-J).+
    +3. Select the Video Track and in the Visual Settings panel uncheck Preserve Aspect Ratio.+
    +4. In the Scaled Size box set the width to 1024 pixels for PAL.+
    Unfortunately, the moment I save the file, the new figure of 1024 pixels reverts to the original 720.
    So is it possible to make a widescreen movie, and if so, how do I do it?
    I can always do it in DVDSP but there are times when I would like to use iDVD.
    Message was edited by: Ian R. Brown

    SUCCESS AT LAST !!!!!
    In the instructions I was following there was one vital omission.
    When you select "Video Track" it naturally turns blue.
    However, when you alter the "Scaled Size", the "Video Track" turns grey.
    If you try to save the new figures while the Video Track is grey, nothing happens.
    What you must do is click on the Video Track to turn it blue before you save the new figures.
    Also it helps if you select the "High Quality" box as well.

  • Can i use adobe softwares for commercial purpose while being in a trial period ?

    Can i use the following softwares for commercial use (e.g Developing a product ) while i am using their trial version ?
    1. Adobe after effects.
    2. Adobe illustrator.
    3. Adobe Photoshop/ photoshop extended.
    4. Adobe Premier Pro.
    5. Adobe Dreamweaver.

    Regarding the validity of my post here:  Actually there are several features that are turned off in various products that I have experienced in the past.  Acrobat pro trial for example does not have the ability to create reusable forms that can be edited by acrobat reader. But if you are saying that Adobe Media Encoder will render video in trial mode then this may have been part of my issue from the start as I brought this up in #26 of that issue
    I only brought this up in relationship to what I have experienced with Adobe Media Encoder in regards to running in trial mode.
    I am sorry if I seemed "snarky" it was certainly not my intent and while I can see where you can get that from an initial exchange, since you brought this to my attention:
    I openly and publicly apologize.
    Certainly this is not the place for that. I find that sometimes it does help to laugh at my own situation then let it get to me however. I am honestly trying to solve my issue and during the process of that discovery if there is any information that I discover in the process that may help others... well I hope that is one good reason to post things here.

  • Using multiple themes for photo book

    Is there a way that one can create a photo book using different "themes" throughout? Say if I want one page to be "Tropical" and another with "Modern"........is such modifications allowed? Thanks in advance.

    The Print to PDF->Save PDF to iPhoto only creates a 200 dpi jpg image of each page. You can edit that Automator workflow and change the dip to 300, what iPhoto uses when it converts the book to pdf for uploading and printing. Or you can download an edited +Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow+ from Toad's Cellar and place it in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder.
