Won't burn movie with slide show

I am having trouble burning the disc when I add a slideshow directly into iDVD. Everything goes well until it gets to the burn stage and then I keep getting the message:
"Multiplexer Error"
"There was an error during LayerBreak handling before formatting."
Does anyone have any idea what that means or what needs to be done to solve this problem?
Thanks

How to burn an iPhoto slide show to a DVD

is it possible to burn an iPhoto slide show to a dvd ?

Sure:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/9.0/en/phtf677be44.html
I use the advanced settings and export in DV format, 640x480.
Save the exported slideshow in your "movies" folder.
Start up iDVD and you can see this slideshow in your media.

I purchased a hdmi cable to watch movies and slide shows from my mac book pro to my sony bravia tv. i get picture through the tv but no sound. what am i doing wrong?

I purchased a HDMI cable to watch movies and slide shows from my mac book pro to my Sony Bravia TV. I get picture through the TV but no sound. What am I doing wrong?

Go to sounds in system pref and select outputs. When the hdmi cable is plug into the tv it will show as an option under output. Just select that option.

Voice narration with slide shows?

When I was a kid we loved having slide shows of the family vacations. Since 1991 I've tried to find a way for my dad to record a narration to go with scanned slides. Hypercard was too hard to use. Photoshop and iPhoto allow attaching a little text to the photos but no voice (as far as I can figure out). I just spent $300 on iView MediaPro, which is supposed to be iPhoto on steroids. My dad and I sent in 50 slides to a scanning lab, then we sat down and recorded 30 seconds of narration with each slide. The good news is that it works. We can run a slide show with his narration. Someday his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc. will enjoy it. The bad news is that iView MediaPro is frustrating to use. Even I had problems getting it to do what I wanted. There was no way that my 79-year-old father could have done this himself. iView MediaPro looks like it was designed for Windows, badly, then ported over to the Mac. It allows only 30 seconds narration per slide. The slides can be exported to Quicktime as a movie -- without the voice narration. So to run our slide show you have to have iView MediaPro. That's $300 each for my brothers. Is there a better way to do this? I can't believe that I'm the only person who wants a narrated slide show. Last weekend at a party a friend showed his slides from his family's European vacation. Everyone was asking questions and oohing and aahing and making comments. Wouldn't it be nice to record all this and attach the sound to each slide? His only grandchild is just a baby, but in 40 years she'd be happy to watch his slide show.

Thomas:
I've become intrigued with you narrated slideshow idea and was giving it some thought last night. Since I don't have a microphone to test out my theory I'll just post it here for your consideration. In creating a slideshow that your relatives can view and listen to with the Reader application I believe you'll have to burn to the disc the original image files and the associated audio files along with the catalog file. That's because the catalog file will only contain thumbnails of the images and links to the originals and the audio files. They won't be able to play with the catalog file alone. Here's what I believe you're work flow will have to be like:
1 - assemble the files for the slideshow into the same physical folder.
2 - when making the narration make sure the audio files are saved to the same folder if at all possible (I don't know how that works).
3 - Now when you ready to burn the disc with the files, put the disc in and copy (Option-Drag to insure you're copying and not just getting aliases) the slideshow file folder, audio files and the catalog file to the CD. I'd also include the Reader for both Mac and PC.
4 - before burning, open the copy of the catalog file that's on the CD to be burned and reset the paths to all of the files. (There will be red tag associated with the folder icon for that folder in the Catalog Folder pane. Open the mini menu at the right and select "Reset Folder Path".
5 - once the paths are reset close iView and open the Reader to make sure all is well.
6 - now burn the disc.
I wish I had a microphone to test this out because it is intriguing. You can download the demo of iView and run a test on the process before committing to the purchase. If and when you do, post to the iView user forum. Good luck.

Final cut pro crashing with slide show photos

I am working with a large slide show - a few movie clips, but mostly still images from Aperture. The photos were shot wtih a Nikon D300 in Raw, not that I think that matters much at all.
Becasue this is a slide show I am working wth short durations for the images - usually 3:14. Most of the transitions are simply cross dissolve, but some are more complex.
I am getting again and again crashes - or the spinning color circle going to oblivion and requiring a Force Quit.
Either can happen when adding new material, moving arround existing material, or trying to reset durations, add text, different transitions, or working wth the Ken Burns options. Sometimes it also happens when resizing the time line zoom level.   This marvelous feature seems the most consistent way of trashing the application so I tend to leave it alone.
I may be able to work for an hour or only a few minutes. Sometimes deleting and re-adding an image seems to help, but that may not be true - most of the time it's just simply random.   The system has 14 Gig Ram and I am using iCleanMemory now to see how much is in play. A crash / freeze may occur with a lot or a little - usually looks like I have about 8.9 Gig in play for normal use of Final Cut and no clear change when it crashes / freezes.
Clearly the images are compatible - they are from Aperture and there is no consistency in always the same image being the issue.
Below is the first part of the error report dump.
Hoping someone has an idea for how to overcome this.
Appreciate the thoughts.
Cheers -
Dan

objc[1012]: garbage collection is OFF

Well, I filmed many of those videos in HDV (the 2x2 wall, the 5x5 wall and some of the 10x10 wall). Plus I converted the whole project to HDV because it is the way I displayed it (thru camera to Plasma TV's) and I wanted the HD space to work with and since part of my videos were HDV I figured that would be best.
Of course the DV footage is not so good quality, but when made very small for that big screen it looks fine I think. Yeah the AIC codec is great but it takes 4 times as much room, but you think that would work better hey?
I just don't want Final Cut crashing like that. I don't care if it can't play it back in real time or it takes 10 seconds to display 1 frame.
I have not used motion....would it work for what I did. Remember I used over 100 discreet video streams I had. I don't want to replicate the same layer...you get the drift.
Did you see it in youtubes HD? What did you think of the quality?

IWeb 08 blogging with slide shows

Help!
I am using iWeb 08 in a fairly generic way. After seeing what her sisters have all been able to accomplish with blog sites such as blogger.com she wants to be able to include a slide show in her blogs. 2 questions:
1. I have figured out how to export photos from iPhoto to quicktime. It creates a simple but usable slideshow in .mov format. I then open iWeb, click on the "entries" screen, create a new blow, then drag/insert the quicktime movie into the "placeholder" image to replace it in the blog. The problem is that when i go to my website, which opens up to the home page that shows all of the recent blogs with the most recent one first, the embedded quicktime file doesnt play. It only shows the first frame. When i click on it, it takes me a page with just that one blog on it, and then the mov file works, and i get my slideshow. What do i need to do make the .mov slideshow work in the home page. My wife wants the slideshow(quicktime movie) to work on the main page...).
2. Second question. The quicktime slideshow is pretty generic. Sites like Picturetrail let you create pretty cool slideshows (flash files i believe) and then embed the html in your own blogsite ie blogger.com etc. I played around with embedding the html in iWeb and couldn't get it to work? A) can i embed a flash html in an iWeb blog, and B) will have the same problem of it not working on the homepage screen..
Sorry for the long post. Huge brownie points if i can get it to work, not to mention less grief for switching to a Mac
Thanks for your help!

I have batch renamed all my assets, deleted all my slideshow thumb nails and replaced them so none of the images in my slide show have the same name as other assets anymore. I am sure this is what caused the problem. I am about to reupload my website, so you won't be able to see the problem anymore (I sincerely hope).
The problem wasn't always reproducible. To be able to reproduce the bug you need 10 different slideshows (all with images called page_1.jpg, page_2.jpg etc with more than 50 pages in some of the galleries, and then you have to upload the slideshows, make changes to the website,upload again, then make more changes to the website, then go to all the galleries one at a time with the thumbnails visable then uncheck the show thumbnails box for all the different slideshows and upload again.

Burning a DVD slide show on Premiere Elements 8.0

I am trying to burn a slide show on Premiere Elements 8, but when I try to save the slide show before burning my computer crashes. I've got Windows 7. My understanding is that Premiere Elements 7 and Photoshop Elements 7 do not work with Windows 7. I had both of those programs, and got Premiere and Elements 8 to remedy the problem to no avail. My computer still won't save the slide show. Any hints? Thanks.

As per my understanding, you created a slideshow in PSE organizer and now want to burn into DVD using Output dialog which launches PRE...
Which application crashes and at which step??
Through PSE you can output the video into PDF or Video...

Burning CD of slide shows

Should have saved an email from a year ago because here I go again. Trying to back up a couple slide lectures onto CD before I leave (tomorrow!) just in case. And I cannot get this done. I selected the slide show icon, went to Share menu, Burn Disk is not active. Tried to look in help but didn't get far.
What I REALLY want to do is burn two lectures onto one disk. I would prefer to do it through Toast so I can continue to add to the disk. And what I'm remembering the last time I did this was that I had to do something to make sure the individual shots loaded in the correct order. . . but that exchange was too old for discussions and has been deleted. I am not really interested in turning this into a movie; I want the individual jpgs in order. It shouldn't be this difficult.
Any help available from someone on this? I promise I'll keep the notes on doing it this time so I don't have to bother you again. I am using iPhoto 5 and Tiger. Thanks

This tip works to burn a CD of a slide show, but for me it still does not solve the problem. On reading the CD in another Mac (I'm trying to copy a slideshow from one Mac to another, or at worst, be able to show a slideshow from CD in a Mac) I can import the pictures into iPhoto, but they are not imported as a slideshow, and the comments, titles, etc. are all absent, and the pictures are in their original date order, not in their order in the slide show. Not only that, but the last 3 images would not copy, producing the spinning beach ball of death; I eventually had for force-quit iPhoto, and now the CD cannot be ejected - not by pressing eject, not by restarting and pressing the trackpad button, not even by using Open Firmware. So I'm left with the original problem - how to copy a slideshow from one Mac to another (I can't believe it can't be done) - and a new one - how to eject a CD! Very frustrating. Any suggestions+

Error message in iDVD with Slide show from iPhoto 09

I have about 130 photos in a slide show with music in iPhoto 09. The slide show settings are for the whole slide show are Ken Burns effect, each slide about 8.1 seconds, random transitions, and music fit to the slide show..I Went to "Share" Send to DVD.
In DVD, I type in a title and a photo in the drop zone, then I chose as a Burn as a Disc Image. It does some encoding and then a I get an error message when it finishes that says " There was an error during the rendering of the menus/slideshows. The burning process has been canceled".. This basically tells me Nothing!!
What is wrong? How can I fix this? Using OS 10.5.7 intel dual core. iMac desktop.
Previously, I had successfully created a DVD of this same slide show, made one DVD, but after seeing in on my DVD player, I tried to fix some things, like fitting the music to the slide show, but that is about all. Frustrated!!
Any help will be appreciated....Thanks.

This sounds more like an iDVD issue than an iPhoto one. I would post on the iDVD forum here:

I have the most horrible muse bug ever with slide shows mixing images up

Hi there. I'm making a comic. I uploaded multiple episodes of the comic - each to it's own slideshow in adobe muse. However the pages in the various slideshows are mixing up with my other slideshows. At first I thought it was just a caching problem in preview mode of muse because after uploading all looked okay and my on-line website looked perfect. However suddenly today several of the comics have the wrong images in them. I did nothing in the assets window. It was all working (at least on line where it counts) until now. this is a disaster. My poor website.
I uploaded it to my own website but if anyone wants to see I can also upload to BC.
this problem appeared again (but on upload as well today) after I switched off the thumbnails. maybe that is a clue as it was working until then (at least online).
Please help me - I am desperate. And no, I do not wish to rename all the pages in my comic from page 1.jpg to page 1_comic4.jpg etc to give each image (page of my comic) a unique name. I would have thought I could have same name assets that are different images. To rename all my images and put them back into muse would be so much work it would probably be easier for me just to go back to iweb and wait for easyweb to come out.

I have batch renamed all my assets, deleted all my slideshow thumb nails and replaced them so none of the images in my slide show have the same name as other assets anymore. I am sure this is what caused the problem. I am about to reupload my website, so you won't be able to see the problem anymore (I sincerely hope).

Making a movie with slides and clips

Hi. I would like to create a project that will incorporate slide shows sections with video clips. Has anyone done this, and if so, is there any advice you can give before I start so I can avoid snags? For example, I know that iMovie has limitations on the number of slides in a slideshow. Will I still run into this problem if I am splitting sections of slides? I would like the finished project to be about a half hour long. Will playback quality on a DVD be consistent switching between video and slides? Are there any settings I should be aware of before I start?
I am using iMovie 4 on an iMac G5 running 10.4.2 with 1GB Ram
Thank you for your help.
Haley

Hi Haley.
I have done photos and video on iMovie with only one slight problem.
I don't know what you mean by saying the number of pictures is limited - you can have as many as you want.
To begin with , don't use iPhoto. Just import your photos straight into iMovie. There you can adjust the duration of each slide to whatever you want, add the Ken Burns effect where necessary and put any type of transition between them.
Although the original photos will be much better quality than DV, when they go into iMovie they will of course end up with DV quality which is perfectly OK. The video should blend in well with the stills.
Now for the one slight problem. A video image is interlaced and sometimes certain types of photos will exhibit a slight shimmer or vibration. This will NOT appear on your computer monitor but will on a normal TV screen. So it is a good idea to play the video through to a TV before you burn a DVD etc. to see whether it is OK.
How can you eliminate the flicker? More expensive programs like Final Cut have de-interlace or flicker removal filters which actually blur the image very slightly. iMovie hasn't, so you have to put up with this slight problem. You may find it quite acceptable on any pictures it affects. If you don't you could possibly experiment with the Sharpness filter to very slightly soften the image.
Just go ahead with your project. I don't think you will find any serious problems and if by any chance you do, you can always ask for help in these forums.
Good luck.
Ian.
PS When you come to burn a DVD it is best to do a test one on an RW type, then if it is not right you have not wasted a DVD.

How to burn decent resolution slide show onto DVD ?

First of all I'm a newbie to this (PS8 Elements and Premier). I have a slide show with music in "Slide Show Editor". When I view this slide show in 'Full Screen Preview" I see a decent resolution but when I burn the slide show onto a DVD the resolution sucks if it's shown in "Full Screen". ( the slide show looks decent if shown in a smaller screen). I took the pictures with a 7 mega pixel camera. Another thing that happens when viewing "Full Screen" in the burned DVD is the text (if it fills the whole screen) some text is hidden around the borders.I burn the DVD in the Premier program.

Thanks for your reply. I'll try what you typed but the
hard part will be figuring how .

Music Trouble with Slide Show

I have used the slide show many times and have always had success with adding music from iTunes easily.
I have recently upgraded with the software update and included in that update was an iTunes update. I also updated the iPhoto recently, since creating the last slide show.
Today I have been trying to create a new slide show and add some music that I added to iTunes specifically for the slide show. All I get is a spinning disk and no response in iPhoto. The computer is not 'frozen' and I can access and use other applications while the disk spins in iPhoto, but iPhoto is stalled. I have had to force quit several times.
Any ideas? The iPhoto is 4.0.3 and the iTunes is 5.0.1. I am running on an eMac from last year.
Thanks.

It may mean that there's another preference file in your User Preferences folder that is incompatible with iPhoto. I ran across this troubleshooting method a while back.
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Prefs folder (in its entirety) to the desktop. Start iPhoto. Determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up. Except for those items that are obviously not related, move the contents to the old Prefs folder on the desktop, replacing what had been there. When in doubt, move the item. The worst thing that can happen is a harmless "alert" message. Then, trash what remains of the new folder. Finally, move the old (but modified) Prefs folder back to the library.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the old one back to its original location.
Otherwise you might want to reinstall the 10.3.9 COMBO updater followed by a permissions repair and reinstall iPhoto 4 from scratch and update it. If you do reinstall V4 you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.

Iphoto won't play videos in slide show

I've transferred a slideshow from an old macbook to a new macbook pro and for some reason the movie clips in the slideshow will no longer play. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know of a solution?

I have the exact same problem. I upgraded from an old Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro to a new intel i7 Macbook Pro. I did a migration using Time Machine and until now, everything seems to have transferred flawlessly. However, any iPhoto slideshows with video clips now hang at the video clip and lock up the machine. The slide shows still run fine on the old macbook prog.
As far as the videos on the new mac, they will run fine using finder/quicktime. They will run individually when selected in iPhoto. However, they will cause the mac to freeze if I try and run a slide show or export the slideshow whenever it reaches the first video clip.
I'm guessing its some kind of directory issue but I would like to recover the slide shows and be able to run them on this new, more powerful machine rather than created exported videos on the old mac or attempt to recreate the slideshows from scratch on the new machine.
Any help would be appreciated and I'll try and use more than one syllable.

Save music selection with slide show
