Wrong music covering my imovie soundtrack on DVD

Help?
I exported a movie from imovie into iDVD. I think my child may have set a preference for "It's a Small World" song to play and this song now covers my soundtrack each time I try to burn a DVD of the movie I need by tomorrow! Maybe I should try to copy and rename my movie in iMovie and undo whatever that setting prefernce is—and then reimport? I don't know how to do either.
I would sooo appreciate any help.
Thank you, thank you!

Hi E
Did You move Your movie from iMovie to iDVD by using
the function
Share/Export to iDVD from within iMovie. If so I
would try this.
A. test Your movie in iMovie so that it plays OK
B. Close iMovie
C. locate Your movie project folder (iMovie 4 or
prior)
D. in this there is a folder Share movie and in this
there is a folder iDVD
and in this there is a QT movie nemed "project
name".mov.
. Double click on it and see that it plays OK
F. Drop this file into an open iDVD theme window
(just inside the edge of
the window frame (so that it doesn't land on a
hot zone).
. Now You can test this DVD project in iDVD - still
plays OK
H. Burn a new DVD disk (or if You have added the
HPfurz hack You can
make a disk image and test this with Apple
DVD-player first)
Yours Bengt W
Bengt,
Thank you so very much for taking the time to help! I am so grateful for people who know how to do this stuff...

  • Wrong album covers can't be deleted

    Hi
    I have stubborn wrong album covers that can't be changed or deleted in my itunes library / covers view. The Info-> Artwork view is ok! They only show up in the covers flow..
    Fixes tried:
    delete artwork. replace artwork, add artwork, move song to desktop - delete in itunes - reimport (nope)
    The same album cover shows for several different songs/artists, I think it's just one - that was grabbed by itunes "get album covers" (and can you imagine how annoying it is to see "robbie williams escapology" for a bunch of alternative music songs..)
    Ideas?

    Thanks Rob,
    I had similar problem, where the Cover Flow artwork was not even close to the artwork. I went into iTunes info, as suggested,and unclicked the box "Part of a Compilation". So, far I've had to go in to each incorrect song separately. It was frustrating me, until that great suggestion. I would track down the CD artwork I wanted; it would show up correctly in the Now Playing window (lower left) in iTunes, but the Cover Flow was way off...the crazy thing was I couldn't find the incorrect artwork in the iTunes artwork window...it would be blank; even when I dragged the correct artwork into that window, it would NOT override it, UNTIL I discovered The Secret! Again, UNCHECK the box labeled Part of a Compilation. I tried grouping 2 or more incorrectly labeled songs, but that didn't seem to work. So far, it looks like you can do it, but it's ONE at a Time. Thanks for the suggestion. If anyone found a quicker way, do tell...I've got thousands of tunes to pour through.

    you see me confused ...
    Procedure in iM usually is:
    • import video
    • select portion of import
    • add to Project
    • burn Project
    • add another selection to another Project ... repeat
    Plan B)
    • import video to iMovie
    • drag ALL to a Project
    • erase unwanted part
    • burn
    • 'undo' in Project (=erased conetnt back again)
    • erase another part, burn again… repeat
    ... so, I'm not sure, what you mean by 'better way' …
    I couldn't think of any 'better' way?

  • Is it possible to export a video from GarageBand to iMovie, Soundtrack or FinalCut?

    Wondering if it's possible when you make a video/movie and you've saved it in GarageBand, to export the video to iMovie, Soundtrack of FinalCut?
    thanks,
    Lorna

    First of all, you don't save a video in GarageBand.
    You can import a vidoe file into a GarageBand Project
    You can add music, sf, or anything else to that video
    At the end you use the  "Export Audio to Movie" command.
    THe result is a quicktime movie file (you can choose the format in a dialog window). That video file can be imported into any video editing software, including iMovie. There is no need to export it to iTunes.
    If you have the video already in iMovie. then you cold export only the audio in GarageBand and import that audio file back into iMovie. Just make sure that they stay in sync.
    Hope that helps

  • I am trying to burn a movie I made in iMovie to a dvd that can be played on a dvd and not just the computer

    I have burned a movie made in iMovie on a DVD but cannot play it on the dvd for my tv it keeps ejecting the disc....please help.

    Not all DVD players, particularly older ones, accept some home-made DVDs. Have you tried with different DVDs?
    Could be poor media: most of us here recommend Verbatim DVD-R, burned at only 2x or 4x.
    If you successfully burned the DVD with iDVD and it plays on your Mac, it is unlikely you did something wrong, but full instructions are here:
    A good guide to iDVD 7 can be found here:

  • Does someone know when our movie project and finally our iDVD project is done, can we erase the clip that we had imported in iMovie without danger?  Or we have to keep the clip in iMovie until the DVD are burn?

    Hi
    Most processes in Non destructive Video editing is based on that the raw-material is safe and intact. So by trashing it most things can or will go wrong.
    So e.g. in iMovie project - there is NO Movie - just a small text document refering to Your raw-material, audio files and photos (within or not in iPhoto Library) on how they are to act together to Play Your Movie.
    And by changing any of them the Movie project will be affected or destroyed.
    reg. iDVD there is also a link back to iMovie - Most famous to set of the iDVD BUG !
    To do that - one starts a new iDVD project and add movies etc. Then find something i one movie in need to be adjusted. Closing iDVD and returning to iMovie and doing this. Then when back to iDVD it will notice and ask You to Up-date or Cancel. Neither works. The iDVD project is harmed. All Chapters now point to Chapter One and more strange things happens.
    the medicine I use - I start a brand new iDVD Project and re-do it and hopefully not fine any more to be fixed in the movie.
    This indicates the strong link inbetween iDVD and iMovie and I would not touch anything in iMovie till DVD is Burned and Ready AND Plays Well !

    quand je grave un diaporama fait sur iMovie sur un DVD les photos, que je fais bouger par le système Ken Burns ont des tremblements importants qui diminuent la netteté de la photo. Pouvez-vous m'aider ? Merci

    Hi
    Google translate: When I burn a slideshow made ​​on iMovie onto a DVD pictures, I'm moving through the system Ken Burns tremors significant decrease the sharpness of the picture. Can you help me? thank you
    Not 100% sure of Your problem but
    • Ken-Burns effect = enlargment and movement = quality loss dep. on enlarging the picture
    • Using iMovie'08 to 11 for a resulting DVD = quality loss = as non of them can deliver 100% interlaced SD-video over to iDVD - loss is made when going from Event's (or iPhoto) to Project's and can not be mended later
    • Shakiness (tremor) - can also depend on wrong frame per second rate (PAL = 25fps and NTSC = 29.97 (30)fps (SECAM = 25fps))
    • Using the anti-shake/stabilize function in iMovie also depends on up-scaling the picture to try to follow motions to lessen the shakes = picture quality loss
    So I use
    • iMovie HD6 - or -
    • FinalCut (any version)
    • FotoMagico™
    as I find DVDs made via these and iDVD to be so much better.
    Please use English - as this is the forum common denominator so that all that can help will try and many many more can benefit from the answers. It's better that You use Google translate and see if translation works than that the rest of the world will have to guess what's it all about.

  • My iMac "locks up" when I try to burn a slideshow made in iMovie to a DVD

    When attempting to burn a slideshow I created in iMovie to a DVD (after exporting to iDVD), the video portion encodes without incident, but when the audio starts to encode, my computer "locks up." That is, the burn "wheel" stops turning, and I get a revolving color wheel at the pointer. I then can't exit iDVD, access any other application, or even shut down the computer. In fact, the only way I can shut the computer down is to turn off the power (i.e., disconnect the power cord). What makes this all the more frustrating is that I had no trouble of this kind the first time I tried burning a DVD from iMovie (a couple of months ago). It worked fine then.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Thanx. I guess that's a possibility. I waited for about an hour, however. I'll give it another try and see what happens.
    It's likely not stalled but rather still encoding.
    Takes a while & requires patience.

  • How do I save an iMovie onto a dvd?

    I am trying to save an imovie onto a dvd to play at a later date. I have tried Burn and it doesn't let me highlight the project in imovies and ilife or idvd is not for sale in the app store. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You need to export the movie first before it can be used in a DVD authoring program (such as Burn or iDVD).
    With your project open go to iMovie's menu and select File > Share > File. This will produce a file in H.264 format which will be suitable for burning and for playback on DVD players.
    I'm assuming that you are using iMovie 10 (the latest 2013 version). If not, a similar method applies to iMovie '11 and earlier versions. Please post back if you need further instructions about this.

  • Playing an iMovie using a DVD player

    What format (if any) is needed in order to play an iMovie (burned onto a DVD) on a regular DVD player that would then show on a television? Is this something that is possible?

    You need to open iDVD and bring your iMovie project in to create a DVD. Start with the iDVD tutorials http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/idvd/
    Why? Compression. An iMovie project uses the lossless DV format, which eats lots of Gigs (about 13 Gigs per hour). An iMovie project must be very short indeed to fit in a 4.7 Gig DVD. Plus, your project must be converted into mpeg format for your set top DVD player to read. iDVD does this for you; it compresses your project and encodes it for use in a DVD player. Just keep your movie within the 120 minute limit, and going from iMovie to finished DVD is pretty straightforward.
    Tip: When your iDVD project is finished, choose Save As Disc Image (not Burn) and let iDVD do all the encoding, rendering, etc. (This can take several hours.) When it's done you'll have a disc image file that you can preview in your Mac's DVD Player app, store on disc, and burn in Finder or with Toast as many times as you like. If you simply Burn in iDVD you will wait for hours and in the end only have 1 DVD.

  • Backup iMovie projects to DVD

    I would like to back up 1 to 2 hours of a iMovie project to DVD. I am bying Toast that I am told can back up large projects spanning disks, I have Dual layer Lacie burner, What is the Max that I can Span and what volume can I store on a dual layer disk? How comon are the Dual layer disks?

    You can fit around 8.5GB on a dual layer disc, which is about 40 minutes of DV video.
    You can fit around 4.4GB on a single layer disc, which is about 20 minutes of DV video.
    FYI: A dual layer disc costs much more than twice the price of single layer discs.

  • Move iMovie event to DVD before editing for storage

    Hello,
    I need to move a few iMovie events to DVD before editing to free up some space on my MBP. I'm making room for a live AV recording and have no idea how much space I will need. Will moving the event cause any problems? How is an event burned to DVD? I saw no options to do this (or move it to another HD) in any way.
    ThankU,
    DarrellSY

    I am very sorry. I misread your original post.
    You could maybe save it as a Data DVD, if your event is smaller than 4GB (or 8GB if you do a double layer DVD).
    In Toast, create a Data DVD and drag these files in.
    In iDVD, you can look up the instructions for creating a DVD ROM. Normally, you would burn your movie so you could view it on a regular DVD, then add the files you used to make it to the DVD ROM part.
    Finally, you can create a burn folder on your Desktop, and burn to a DVD from there. That is probably the simplest way. it has been a while since I have done it, so maybe someone else can give you the step by step.
