When I make a slideshow with music in iDVD, it plays fine on my Mac, but after burning the DVD, there is a short audio dropout at each transition between photos when I play the DVD on my home DVD player. Am not sure if this is a player problem, or what I can do to get around it.Your answer can be technical.
View 1 RepliesI edited a video in FCP and exported it as a quicktime. The resulting file is a little over an hour, about 13gb in size, and has 14 chapters. The quicktime movie plays perfectly. When I build the DVD in iDVD it works perfectly. However, once it's burned I lose the audio in the middle of the 13th chapter until the end. I've deleted preferences, re-exported the quicktime, created new DVD projects, used an older template (I'm now using a version 7 template).... I'm not sure what's going on!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased a new MINI (2.3, i5, 2GB RAM) and I am totally disappointed with the performance. Specifically, I am fed up with the terrible audio stability. I have a MOTU Ultralite MK3 Hybrid and generally use the Firewire interface, but this problem also happens when I'm just using the internal audio. I've never experienced this before on any of the MINIs I've had (this is my third) nor on my old G4. Now, on what should be the best of the lot, I can hardly stand to listen to anything while trying to do anything else on the computer. Even simple things like opening a JPG in Preview causes the audio to cut out when the file is being opened. Virtually every move interferes with the audio and causes a dropout. It is worst of all when using any kind of browser and trying to have a YouTube video play in the background while surfing on another tab. I used ot be able to do this all the time without dropouts on my last Mini, but this thing seems to have a serious CPU bottle neck and I don't know where to even begin to try to find out what's going on. I'm really heart broken by this because I am not working and spent money I can't afford to replace my last computer and now I'm stuck with this junky thing that can't even play an MP3 and open a JPG at the same time. It's like the whole process of dealing with multiple threads has been trashed somehow. What happened with these new MINIs? Am I the only person having this problem? Why can't my computer deal with ANY kind of multitasking without crapping out on the audio? It shouldn't be like this. It wasn't like this before. Â

Before making a slideshow in iDVD the pics were sharp (& in preview), but after burning the show to disc the pics had become fuzzy. How do I keep this from happening?

Complete with music and transitions? Is this something that iDVD can do? I need it for a mates birthday party and was going to play a slideshow of him growing up, no one there will have a Mac and I'm not taking mine, so was wondering how I can get the slideshow on a dvd... complete with transitions and music.
I want it to look exactly like it does on iphoto. I read somewhere they said to share it with idvd, but it does not look the same. Everything is different from the music to the way the pictures are changed and the timing. Is there a way I can burn it from iphoto (the slide show) to a dvd? If not why is it not the same on idvd?

I've been trying to burn a DVD from iPhoto's slideshow.
From reading a thread here, I export the Slideshow to iMovie. Which is made into a .mov flie. Then I add some stuff and edited the movie under iMovie. But then I couldn't find a way to burn it unto a non-computer playable format. So I export it from iMovie to iDVD.
So far seems alright.... ready to burn the DVD and all..... but here's the problem:-
1) The oginal photos are around 500MB, after I made it into .mov file... it's like 800MB. After I edited it under iMovie (Just some extra text and all) it became a whopping 9.5GB!!! Too large even for a blank DVD...Have I done anything wrong?
2) Picture quality on iPhoto was excellent.. but when made into .mov the quality was awful...... Anyway to improve the quality?
I am trying to burn a slideshow onto CD/DVD so it will play on my TV. I would like to keep my chosen music I have selected for each slideshow. If I export it then the quality is very poor. Is there a way of me achieving my goal?

I 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?

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?
I 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?

I get the message "burning preparation error: Not enough space for encoding the remaining assets. The weird thing is since I changed out my internal superdrive my external la cie DVD burner gives me the same message when I try to burn to it.

I'm an oldie so not very computer savvy, and a newbie here, so forgive me if this is the wrong place to post, or the topic has been dealt with before......
I have a macbook with 2.4ghz intel duo processor, 2 gigs of ram and a 150gig hard drive ( 50 gigs free ).
I've been downloading some free movies for the kids and burning copies with idvd. Trouble is it take 3-4 hours to burn each disk. The original files are .avi and range around 700mb.
I use the magicidvd option in idvd, as it seems the most straight forward. I drag and drop the avi into the movie box, but usually get a message saying the project is too big and I have to change settings in project info. Not fully sure why this is but I find setting the quality to 'professional' ( I think.....disc burning at present so can't open the menu, ) allows me to continue.
My questions are - Am I causing idvd to take longer by the method I've outlined above?
Is there a way to speed up the burn time? I would prefer not to have to buy some other software but am open to suggestions. If I could reduce the burn time with idvd to a couple of hours that would be fine.
I recently went all out for this girl and ended up having to make a Dual Layer dvd. After it went through all the stages of burning up to mixing I was met with this prompt and the dvd ejected. I slid the dvd back in and it stopped making noises after a few seconds. I wait until the time ran down to "about one minute" and then it froze for about three minutes until I got fed up and hit cancel. I can't figure out why this isn't working but I am pretty certain the DVD's are now unusable. The movie is just under the size for a DLDVD (7.21) but yeah.
I had a similar issue with itunes when burning CDs only when I reinserted the CD I successfully burned the music. If the trick is a full reinstall then please advise on how to not loose any data (I use time machine). Well I gave it another Go with a different movie that had just 1 menu with a filled drop zone and custom music and got this error (below). So I am going to copy my pref files and then delete the originals to see if that turns out.
The DVD ejects before the process ends, and is blank. I have an iMac running Lion. Significantly, nothing at akll comes up about disc burning in the 'About My Mac' utility.
