Where is footage after burning to idvd?

Trying to do a football highlight video for my three boys for Xmas. Once I burn to DVD where does the footage go? Can't find it anywhere? I want to make some changes. The burned DVD has great quality though!

Multiple Procedures for Saving an iDvd Project and how they differ:
Saving an iDVD project
There are several ways to save your iDVD project, and which you use depends on what you plan to do with your project.
◼
Saving: As you work on your DVD project, save it periodically to safeguard your work.
◼
Archiving: When you want to move or back up your finished project to another computer, you should archive it.
Archiving creates a copy of your project, keeping all of its elements together and linked within the project file. It can take a while to archive a large project, but after you do, you can move the file to another computer or hard disk, and then open it at any time for further editing or burning to a DVD.
◼
Saving as a disc image: When you save a disc image of your project, a file is created that is formatted just like a finished DVD, except that it’s not actually burned on a disc. All the media is compressed into the format used on a DVD, and you can play it on your computer by double-clicking the disc image icon. You can move the disc image to another computer or hard disk, but you cannot edit it. When you’re ready to burn the disc image to a DVD, use Disk Utility in Mac OS X.
NOTE: If you burn your project to a double-layer disc, you should burn directly from iDVD rather than from a disc image. Burning from a disc image may cause the DVD to freeze on some DVD players.
◼
Saving as VIDEO_TS folder: Saving a project as a VIDEO_TS folder allows you to play it back, on your computer, using software such as VLC media player. Saving as a VIDEO_TS folder is similar to saving as a disc image: the output quality is the same, and both methods take about the same amount of time to complete. You can’t burn a disc from a VIDEO_TS folder.
Here are ways to save your project:
◼
To save your project, choose File > Save.
◼
To save your project with a different name, choose File > Save As.
This creates another copy of your project with the new name. If you do not want both copies, delete the one you don’t want.
◼
To archive your project, choose File > Archive Project.
◼
To create a disc image, choose File > “Save as Disc Image.”
◼
To save your project to a VIDEO_TS folder, choose File > “Save as VIDEO_TS folder.”

  • Foreign audio after burning in iDVD

    I am running iMovie with Tiger on eMacs. I have 13 computers in a classroom. Sometimes when I burn in iDVD, the burn is successful, but there is only identical foreign audio over the whole disk. I have four uses set up on each eMac. the foreign audio if from totally different user than the one I am logged into. This plays on both the theme upon loading the disk, and on every movie. Movies play fine in iMovie and when testing in preview in iDVD. Usually I trash preferences and this clears it up. Now, two of my computers are not fixed with this method. I got one to work after trashing and repairing preferences, rebooting, then rebuilding the iDVD project with a totally new project. Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Problem: DVD won't loop after burning in iDVD '08

    I need help.
    I made a slideshow in Keynote '08 and sent it directly to iDVD (iLife'08) for burning. I wanted to burn it to DVD and have it show continuously (loop) at a kiosk.
    I selected the presentation and had set iDVD (Advance Menu) to "Loop". The loop icon showed up on the "map menu" for the selected presentation.
    As I read in other forums, I also set the "button" for Play Movie with a TRANSITION.
    After burning and playing it on two DVD players, the DVD won't automatically loop. It just freezes after it completes one play.
    I also did the "REPEAT" button on the DVD Player Remote and still won't loop.
    I went back to iDVD and removed the Loop option and burned DVD. I was hoping that I can play it back with just setting the DVD player itself to REPEAT disc. Again, the DVD won't repeat or loop.
    I also converted the keynote presentation to quicktime first then moved it to iDVD for conversion and burning to DVD. The results are the same above.
    I need to know if there is a step I am missing or a procedure not followed properly.
    Thanks in advance!

    Check these instructions from iDVD Help to see if you missed anything.
    +_Here are ways to turn looping on or off_:+
    +Double-click a slideshow button on the DVD menu to open the slideshow editor. Click the Settings button and select the “Loop slideshow” checkbox.+
    +Select a slideshow icon in map view, and then press Command-I to open the Slideshow Info window. Select the “Loop Slideshow” checkbox, and then close the window.+
    +Click a movie or slideshow button on the DVD menu, or a movie, slideshow, or autoplay movie icon in map view, to select it, and then choose Advanced > Loop Movie or Loop Slideshow.+
    +When looping is turned on, a checkmark appears next to the command in the menu. To turn off looping, select it again to remove the checkmark.+
    +To turn looping off for a background movie on a menu, open the Menu Info window. With your pointer over the menu (but with no buttons or text items selected), press Command-I. Move the Loop Duration slider to zero.+
    If you have followed these directions and are still having the same problem, give this basic remedy a try. Quit iDVD and delete your iDVD preferences. To do this, go to your username> library> preferences> com.apple.idvd.plist. Delete this file. Then reopen iDVD; it will create a new preference file with all of the default settings.
    Do a verify and repair of permissions using Disk Utility.
    If the problem persists, do the following for troubleshooting purposes. While working on your project in iDVD, create a disk image. Go to File>Save as disk image. This will create a file that can be viewed on your computer's DVD player. You will be able to see just how your project will work when viewed on a regular DVD player. You will be able to catch errors and correct them before burning and possibly wasting a disk. If the disk image plays correctly, then you know that the encoding is being done correctly. This would point to problems with the burn process. If there are problems with the disk image, then the issue is with encoding.
    I hope this helps.

  • Horrible combing effect after burning from iDVD

    This is very frustrating and I hope someone can help.
    First some quick background:
    A relative recently had a box of old family movies converted burned onto a DVD but some of the footage played at half-speed as if in slow-motion. As a Christmas present I imported the clips onto my Mac for fixing. I sped some of the clips up using Final Cut Express. Then I brought everything into iMovie where I re-arranged the clips chronologically, adjusted brightness/contrast, created chapter markers, etc. Finally I brought it all into iDVD, created menus, and burned.
    Everything looks great when I preview it in iDVD but once the actual disk is burned there is a horrible, ugly "combing" effect that appears off and on during playback. It's not constant, it appears and disappears randomly, but when it happens its horrible! It happens regardless of whether I play the DVD on my computer or on an old-school CRT TV. However, when I preview it in iDVD there is no combing, everything is clean and smooth.
    I've done some googling and searched the forums but so far no luck finding a solution. I tried zapping the PRAM but it didn't help. When I play the raw file in user/Movies/iMovie Projects it also has no combing so I assume the problem is somewhere in iDVD.
    Any help or advice would be very much appreciated!

    DVDs are interlaced devices. Your old movies were captured with an interlaced device. That means areas of your video with rapid movement will have interlacing artifacts. They will show up on any viewing device that doesn't deinterlace (drop every other line). Previewing in iMovie and iDVD is in effect deinterlaced.
    So that makes me think there's something not right in the iDVD burning process.
    Nothing in creating and burning a DVD with iDVD will give you such combing. MPG-2 encoding can certainly give you 'blotchy' areas, but not combing.
    You might want to look at JES Deinterlacer to deinterlace the problem areas of your video.

  • After burning from iDVD...

    After completing my final project in iDVD and burning to DVD looks bad on a HDTV flat screen. I use a Sony AVCD SR-11 HD camcorder.

    Hi
    There are no HD version of iDVD till yet.
    SD version is equal to old TV standard and that is max from iDVD
    To get HD You need
    • Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl Blue-Ray component
    • Blue-Ray burner and disks (DVD can be used for small projects about 20 minutes)
    • Blue-Ray Player eg PlayStation 3 (even for the DVD made after BR-standard)
    There are factors that might reduse the quality from iDVD below SD standard.
    My collection on this
    *DVD quality*
    1. iDVD 08 & 09 has three levels of qualities.
    iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality (movies up to 120 min.) - BEST
    • Best Performances (movies less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    2.Video from
    • FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not selfcontaining, no conversion)
    • iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
    when the movie includes photos. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
    • iMovie’08 not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
    3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly eg x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
    This can also be done with (Apple) Disk Util tool.
    4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
    use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc).
    5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
    6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW)
    7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
    8. Don’t burn more than three DVD at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while befor next batch.
    iDVD quality also depends on.
    • HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx 25Gb.
    less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
    • What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
    other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
    Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
    strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
    Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
    • What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
    (If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JESDeinterlacer3.2.2 do the conversion)
    (Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
    (US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
    (EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
    UNLESS. They are plabacked by a Mac - then You need not to care
    • What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
    • How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
    Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
    Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
    Best / High Performances (most often my choise before Pro Quality)
    1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
    (x4 by some and may be even better)
    2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
    Region codes.
    iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
    DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
    1 = US
    2 = EU

    What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
    I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
    I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
    For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario

  • Audio drop out after burning to iDVD

    I am running FCE 2 and checked all of my audio (mixed it down and everything). Plays well when I run FCE. When I burn the clips to iDVD, I notice that the audio drops out in certain scenes, and it's the same scenes. Ruined 5 dvds so far after trying to a few things.
    I am using all internal HDs (Extended Journaled). Any suggested would be appreciated. Thanks

    Hi
    a. Audio from iTunes - has to be used by a work around
    I do - create a Playlist in iTunes with needed audio
    Burn out as an Audio-CD (.aiff) Not .mp3
    Use this audio in Your FinalCut project
    b. I do from FCE/P to iDVD
    • Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
    • Not selfcontained (not important but saves time and space)
    • NO QUICKTIME Conversion (Important)
    c. To get iDVD to run OK
    • Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk ! (others of no importance)
    • I use Verbatim DVDs
    • DVD-R
    • Burn speed set down to x4 or x1 (only relevant to newer iDVD)
    (Instead download the Hack (Hurz and Pfurz) that makes it possibly to do a DiskImage with iDVD4
    if earlier iDVD versions - forget this
    then save as a DiskImage - test it with DVD-player tool and see that it runns OK
    THEN do the actual DVD burn by using Disk Util tool from this DVD image You just did.
    AND Here You can set down burn speed to x4 or x1.
    • iDVD 4 disc image burning can be enabled through the patch Hurz and Pfurz - search the net.
    Good luck Yours Bengt W

  • Voice and Video out of sync after burn in iDVD

    We are having trouble keeping the voices and movement together after a burn. Can anyone give us a suggestion?

    Barbara and Amy
    You may have experienced what many of us have encountered. Cameras are usually set to record in 12 bit audio. When these recordings reach iMovie they edit and play fine but when they go on iDVD the sound is out of sync.
    Switch your camera to 16-bit in future to prevent/minimise the effect.
    You should also look at a couple of apple pages http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42974 and http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61636

  • HD Footage when burned onto iDVD is jumpy?

    I'm trying to create a demo movie with HD and SD combined. When i try to burn it on to iDVD the SD stuff is fine but the HD stuff comes out jumpy. Kind of like the burn wasn't fast enough. I've burned one thing purely from HD footage and it came out fine, now everything from HD footage is coming out jumpy. Anything i can do for this???

    i've been reading a lot of the interlacing details and posts that people have been writing about. Possibly this is the problem i'm running into?? I just tried to play it on my computer and it worked fine. But on the TV it was jumpy. Now some stuff i've burned with HD has been fine. Others haven't. The ones that have been giving me troubles are the ones that are interspersed within SD clips. The ones that came out ok have been all HD clips. I've been trying different item properties with no success. Hopefully someone can help me with this issue

  • Pixelated pictures when dvd is played after burning in IDVD

    I have created a slideshow in iDVD - all went well. I have burned to a dvd however, when the dvd is played on our dvd player/tv the pictures are terribly pixelated. (they look fine on the preview during the project) - rather frustrating when the thing takes HOURS to burn as there are 1000+ images. Any advice to be offered as to why this is happening and how to prevent it? Many thanks.

    Hi Lyn Olds
    Welcome to apple discussions. If you haven't already, take a look at apple's tutorial for iDvd. They really do help.
    iDVD Tutorial:
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#idvd
    iDVD 8 Manual, as pdf, so download it. It is very helpful:
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#idvd
    Keep in mind the protocol for burning a dvd is rather specific and reduces the resolution of most images to 640 x 480. That's less than a third of a megapixel for still images. Most burned Dvd's are lagging well behind the capabilities of current hi-resolution cameras and camcorders.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/6675.html
    You may also want to take a look at these 3 apps that specialize in quality slideshows. They come highly recommended on this forum (especially the first one).
    http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/overview/
    http://boinx.com/photopresenter/overview/
    http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
    If the above apps don't meet your needs then search this forum for other solutions like using Ken Burns effect to minimize pixelation via a QT movie.
    I believe OT does a great job of explaining this per the following link:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8164545&#8164545
    Btw, the only way I am aware of to burn High Resolution DVD’s is with Roxio’s Toast and a Blue Ray burner.
    Another solution is to simply hook your TV to the Mac for playback. That or consider using AppleTV which essentially circumvents the need to burn a dvd altogether.

  • Poor image quality after burning with idvd

    I used Final Cut Express to make a 45min movie. When I preview the finished product as a Quicktime file it looks great. BUT when I burn it with idvd, the quality of the video is terrible! Jagged diagonal lines, some color loss, some dancing pixels,...
    I have been trying to find the solution to this problem for days on end, I have burned about 20 dvd's now, all in different settings and so on, but the quality is not improved.
    First I thought it was my tv, but then I put the dvd in my mac and compared the same scene from my quicktime file with the scene on the dvd, and the difference in quality is staggering! For instance, diagonal white road markings are crisp on the quicktime file, but jagged on the dvd.
    What is idvd doing with my movie????? Help me!

    My Final Cut Express movie (.mov file) is crisp, and interlaced.
    You are missing the point - your CRISP FCE movie is mpg-2 compressed by iDVD - that's what DVDs are - mpg-2 compressed video content. Unfortunately, mpg-2 is a very low quality CODEC compared to modern CODECs like h.264.
    The best image quality out of iDVD will result in using the 'Best Performance' mode of encoding - this requires your content be under 60 minutes for a single-layer disc.
    'Best Performance' encoding uses fixed bit-rate encoding that produces a DVD with about as high playback bit-rate as can be supported by set-top DVD players.
    You have three choices: (1) live with the mpg-2 compression on a DVD because you can't do anything about it, (2) use the h.264 CODEC out of FCE and create a data DVD with the file that can be played back in computers, (3) make a Blu-ray disc if you have the equipment and buy the software.

  • Lost Sound after burning to iDVD

    I have 53 minutes of marching bands that plays perfectly in iMovie. I chose the White Reflections theme in iDVD and the project works on the computer. After hours of transferring the DVD looks beautiful but there is no sound. The original sound is embedded in the HD formatted tape. I really need some suggestions since the Band Director is depending on this DVD.
    Thanks

  • Problems with the interlaced Fields after burning with iDVD

    The original quicktimes have interlaced frames and once I burn them with iDVD seams that there is a problem with the fields, like they are in ht ewrong order or something.
    Is there something I'm not doing right?
    Anyone?

    I Have a similar problem my apple health app hasn't worked from day one - I use my fitness pal and no matter what I do it just doesn't communicat or pass information to apples app - ive even tried a different steps app and that doesn't communicat either. Even running on ISO 8.2 hasn't  rectified connectivity issues.
    I Wonder if apple is aware of these issues lol

  • Choppy footage on DVD, after perfect burn in iDVD

    Hello,
    I've just got done with a documentary on my local Parkour Group. I've finished Editing the piece and I have exported it into iDVD, here comes the problems, after burning the video at a burn speed of 1x with Professional Quality, my video on DVD turns out at some parts choppy. During these times, the video is being reversed with slow motion and desaturation. I've tried everything that may solve this problem but each DVD has the same verdict. These parts where they are choppy appear not to be in the preview in both iDVD and FCE, I had a friend download it to his computer (windows) and it played perfectly until he played it in his player for his TV, this hasn't happened to me before, my first video turned out great using the same technique.
    I am using:
    DVD-R (TDK)
    MacBook Pro '09 version
    Final Cut Express HD
    I hope this can be solved quickly, I want to begin my next project! Help is greatly appreciated.
    -Ryan

    I have had the same problem when burning videos made with iMovie, videos play via iTunes and Quicktime just fine on the computer; but when i burn to disc (using various brands and types) the video comes out very choppy, as if it is skipping frames. The videos i'm doing are of lacrosse games so the choppyness is very obvious. I have only had problems burning these videos on my iMac since the release of Ilife'09. Videos from the previous season were not choppy at all. In the past version of iDvD I had to do something to encode the videos before they could be burned to disc by iDvD, but this step seems to be skipped now. I've found (for movies from iMovie) that you lose the choppyness if you burn it directly to the disc instead of going through iDvD... I guess I'm saying that I have no solution, but the same problem that you do.... you are not alone... Anyone with suggestions?

  • After burning to dvd, using idvd, movie stops on frame but audio continues

    After creating imovie which works perfectly, and also after trasferring to idvd works perfectly, i have problems when playing back dvd after burning to disc. The movie stops but the audio continues. I altered the clip but same thing happened in next clip after next burn. I don't think its a corrupt clip, but maybe something to do with WHEN it occurs in the movie. Any suggestions? After 4 goes and many hours burning I am stumped!

    Hi Tomma1
    And welcome to apple discussions. It's good you chose to use 16 bit audio for all of your source material. And assuming this is accurate info .... From what I can tell, you are doing nearly everything correctly. However let me ask you a few questions.
    1. Are you using the boot volume (the hard drive where iDvd and Leopard are actually located) to encode your dvd (yes/no)?
    2. More importantly, does the disc image also go out of sync when played thru apple's dvd player app? or does it only happen on the burned dvd-r?
    3. Are you using Verbatim Dvd-R or an alternate brand? if it's the latter, then for troubleshooting purposes while on this forum; please use Verbatim Dvd-R. (it helps us eliminate additional / possible variables). Thereafter feel free to use the media that works best for you and your mac.
    4. Have you tried an alternate encoding setting other than pro quality setting? and do you get the same results?

  • IDVD 08 - problem with scene selection tabs not working after "burn"

    I have a movie that is about an hour long (made in iMovie08 using mostly still photos). I wanted to have "chapters" -- but with that option gone, I used the Scene Selection option in iDVD08. This created menus with 15 scene selection buttons (I chose every 4 minutes). The menus were automatically created by iDVD and I did nothing to change them, except to type in scene info (two-three words).
    The buttons all worked fine on the computer, and I burned a DVD. The DVD worked great in my VCR player. I'd select Play Movie and it would go. I'd select Scene Selection and I'd get the menus for that. But when I'd highlight one of the scene selections and "enter" (select) -- it wouldn't go to that scene. I could go back and forth between menus, and could move around and highlight the scene buttons, but selecting would not start the scene to play. The movie played fine from start to finish, and the other remote features worked (stop, pause, menu, etc.).
    I went back to iDVD and chose a different theme (thinking maybe I'd inadvertently done something to mess things up. The only thing I did differently in addition to the new theme, was to add two small movie clips - and I rearranged the buttons on the menu (dragging) to get them positioned where I wanted them. So my first menu says "Play Movie". The second menu has: Play Movie, Scene Selections, Little Movie 1, Little Movie 2. Everything worked greated in iDVD. Then I created a disk image to view using DVD Player (rather than waste another DVD). Same problem -- only worse. This time I couldn't even highlight Scene Selection to get to the scenes' menus.
    Any thoughts on why I'm not able to get the "Scene Selection" buttons to work after a burn? Am I missing a step somewhere in iDVD?
    Thanks.

    I am not sure, but does your post concerning the problem, that all Remote Control function will work properly within iDVD'08 but after burning the DVD absolutely not with the RC of your set top DVD player connected to your TV?
    If this is it:
    Meanwhile I could figure out - after many nights of not been very productive and only working out on all the iDVD'08 problems - that **ALL** of the *7.0 Themes* have a major problem in generally.
    The following points are concerning iDVD'08 using any of the 7.0 Themes:
    - Complete deep freeze of your Mac under Leopard when rendering/coding/burning a movie which has chapters and you use movies instead of still images in drop zones. (LeopardiDVD087.0Themes)
    - Functions on remote control of your set top DVD player are not working correctly when making a movie with chapters. This is generally on Tiger and Leopard the same problem using iDVD08 with any of the 7.0 Themes.
    Quick and dirty workaround:
    You may avoid this if you simply use a 6.0 Theme or lower version of the Themes.
    But this is of course not the clue...
    It is VERY DISAPPOINTING, having software at such a low quality level deliverd by Apple. And somehow it looks like they DO NOTHING against it. No statement, no excuse, they really remain silent.
    This may also be a thread you could be interested in:
