I have an iDVD project on an older macbook without a superdrive. The iDVD project is complete, but I can't burn the dvd. I also have a newer macbook with a superdrive. Is there a way to connect the 2 computers together so that I can use the super drive from the other computer to burn the iDVD project?

I think my superdrive died in my dual-core PM G5. This is what it's doing: I'll insert a DVD and it'll sit for a few seconds, then eject it. It DOES show up in my system profiler though. Is it dead, or is this a software problem? Oh- I should mention that the last thing I did was use Visual Hub to burn an AVI to a DVD. That worked fine. Afterward- nothing. I'm running OS 10.4.9. Help!

Have a Mac Book Pro with Lion, would like to try to burn it from there.. What and how should I transfer over to have the whole project on the MacBookPro ready to burn ? It includes slideshows linked to iPhoto and a iMovie film.

I have a widescreen movie that i'm trying to burn in idvd 7. I am aware of the tv crop area and i place my buttons and create my theme around this.
However i am curious to know how to fit the movie i am importing inside the crop area rather than have the sides clipped off. Is there i way i can do this? It seems silly that i have to deal with a cropped movie.
I have a huge problem creating a DVD.
I start the burning and IDVD starts rendering and stuff BUT when its just about done it shots out the dvd and theres is NO message at all about whats wrong...
And he mac just continues the burning section with the dvd hangin out untill I stop it?
What the hell is wrong?

Created iDVD with slideshow and music on my 5 yr old MBP.Tried to burn it to a Staples -R DVD disc.It appears to be burning for about 35 minutes, then with one minute left, it stops and ejects the disc.No error message. I saved the file as a Disc Image and was able to view it with the DVD player on my MBP.However, when I went to burn it to the disc, I got this message:"The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a 2GB m4v file that I wanted to use iDVD to create a movie for. But even taking it off of Best Performance and instead using High Quality, the movie is too large to be burned. It's showing it as a 4.81 GB project.
I'll admit my ignorance here...what gives? How does a 2GB file grow that large when being encoded as a DVD?
I have just copied a DVD project from my G5 Powermac to G4 iBook over my Airport network. The project does not open on the iBook (I think because the project was made on iDVD v6.03, and the iBook runs, or at least ran an earlier version.) I am trying to upgrade to 6.03 but so far to no effect. Now the project will no longer open on the G5 as it puts up the following message - Project locked by other user. The project wotton is locked by the user alexrice (user ID 501): 2007-10-15 14:31:14 +0100.
The project can't be opened at this time. - I have quit iDVD on the iBook and shut it down. The user id 'alexrice' is the previous owner of the iBook. Due to pressure of work, and some useful software still on the iBook, I had not got around to reformatting the harddrive and giving it a new identity. How can I regain control of my project on the G5?
I just finished an iDVD project and saved it with the default file extension of .dvdproj.
I want to send this to someone with a Windows PC for them to view, but I do not want to burn it onto a disc because I need to send it overseas and it would take a considerably long time.
Is there any way I can convert the iDVD project to another file extension so I can email it to this person? Or, if I go back into the project is there a way to just save it under a more common file extension?
I'm going nutz and have read a bunch of other threads on this but most of it is way over my head. I just made a movie on iMovie and then moved it to iDVD. I am using iLife 08. The projects (the movie and dvd) were both widescreen. Everything was great! Looked great on the computer etc... But then I played the dvd on my widescreen TV and the top and bottom of the picture (including titles I had put on the bottom of the screen using the imovie templates) had been cut off. Not letter boxed but rather they seemed to not fit on the screen. I tried changing my tv settings but nothing seems to work. Does anyone know what might be up? I also tried to burn the dvd as a standard 4:3 project and the resulting DVD still had the top and bottom cut off. Is this an issue with my DVD/TV?

I made an iDVD project a while ago and discarded everything but the DVD disk. Now I want to import the project back into iMovie to use it as part of another project. Is this possible? It seems like I could play it on the TV and then import it into the computer, but I have forgotten how and what equipment and programs that I would need.

I'm creating a slideshow DVD on a new MacBook. I want to burn it to a DVD, but my MacBook doesn't burn DVDs. I have an Emac (10.2.8) that can burn DVDs. Is there a way I can hook up the MacBook and eMac to burn an IDVD project created on a MacBook. I can't just do the project on iDVD on my emac as it's an old version of IDVD that doesn't support the transitions I'm using.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have iMovie 2.1.2 on a Mac G4 with a superdrive burner. I've captured video from my mini-dv camcorder and now I want to put it on DVD to be played on any DVD player.
I've tried a few of the "expert" settings to export it, but none do the trick as far as producing playable DVD's. I have toast titanium 5 and I don't have Quicktime Pro. I also do not have iDVD.
I have Final Cut Pro on this computer, but have no idea how to use it.
Is there a simple way to to export directly from iMovie onto a playable DVD, or do I need something else?
I've just started mucking about with idvd and it looks good but unfortunately my mac cannot burn dvds, so I was wondering if any body new a way I could put the file on a standard disk or flash drive and transfer it to a computer that can burn the dvd using the file?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have several seasons of a TV show downloaded to my MacBook Pro and I'd like to burn the content onto a blank DVD. I'm still new to Mac so I didn't know what applications could be used to do this. I thought iDVD could do it, so I when I inserted the blank DVD, I (stupidly) made it my default to have iDVD open when I put a blank DVD in. I found that it didn't work in iDVD so I'd like to just do it with Finder... How do I change my default setting so I can do it with Finder instead?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI set up iDVD to burn a disc of my movie; it did so just fine. I saved the set up, then tried to reburn additional DVDs. It opened ok, but refused to burn anything-when it got to the "Burn" stage, it would display "recording finished" then lock up.
Are there some preferences I can trash on this, or what?
Well, I've shot myself in the foot again. I wanted to make a demo video (see youtube, drumagination, new drum pedal) and I wanted to use iMovie '06 on my brand new iMac (running OSX 10.5.4). I deleted iDVD '08 and brought in just iMovie '06 and iDVD '06 from an iLife '06 disk. iMovie works fine, but iDVD '06 will not open.
To make matters worse, I've lost the disks that came with the machine.
Any ideas as to how to burn a DVD from here?
I want to ask what is the best (biggest file) supported by iDVD? Such as Quick Time Movie, or mpeg2 or mpeg4 or avi?
