• Problem install iDVD 9 on iMac?

  I try to install iDVD 9 on my retina 5 K, 27-inch iMac, the end of 2014), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), MacPro Dual-Core, clocked at 2.66 GHz.  I get a message saying warning: iDVD 9 is incompatible with OS X and it could damage the iMac should I continue

  as the 7.1.2 update from Apple Downloads.  Would appreciate it really any advice on how I could get the iMac to allow

  I am iDVD 7.1.2 running on my iMac 2011 without problem.  The place where you want to install to and you can post a screenshot of the message you get when you try to install it.

  A solution would be to use the demo version of transmission to install iDVD and themes, especially if you are trying to install from a disk of iLife 09 or 11.

  

• DVD (and iDVD) die?  If so, what is the alternative?

  Hi all

  I LOVE iMovie 6 (iMovie HD) and iDVD.  I was use to edit and produce my own films at home for years.  I like to create DVDs from pleasure and share with my family and my friends.

  The problem is that it seems that the days of DVD are numbered...  New computers come with a DVD player, and most people do not use their DVD players a lot more thanks to streaming services such as NetFlix, Hulu, Amazon, etc...

  So my question is this: a DVD player will soon be like old VCRs that some of us still have?  Large boxes, collector of dust, but we can not totally get rid of them because we have a few VHS tapes favorite that we "might" want to play some time?

  If DVD and DVD players disappear...  What will I do with my movies at home?

  I understand that I could post them on YouTube, but this seems crazy, because I have a lot of home movies!  In addition, I really like the features of a DVD as chapters and be able to create a DVD with several individual films on it.

  What I would REALLY like is to be able to create a "DVD", but store it in a flash drive and then a program or something that allows you to my friends and family get the flash drive on their smart TV (or computers) and allow them to access the 'DVD' as if there were a real DVD with all the options of origin that would be available on a disc.

  Someone you understand what I mean?  And if yes, does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for the future of the movies at home after the death of DVD have?

  Thank you!

  Agreed.

  To burn a DVD with the latest version of iMovie's iDVD, you must export the movie using the export button and select 480 p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, and then drag this file in the sequence exported to iDVD menu window, avoiding the drop areas that see you.

  If you are using El Capitan see this thread:

• Impossible to update iDVD Software

  Whenever I open iDVD, I get a message telling me that I should update. When I try, the wound of the App opens and a check is made to see if I have any updates required and none appear.

  What should I do to update iDVD?

  What system are you running and what version of iDVD you have?

  Don't forget to iDVD was abandoned several years ago by Apple and is no longer supported.  The latest available version is 7.1.2.  It is available only if you currently have a version of iDVD 7 is installed.
  The updater can be obtained here: download iDVD 7.1.2

  iDVD has become incompatible with current systems.  Some of the iDVD themes 7 lively have problems.  The previous static themes still work fine.

  

• iMovie to idvd

  Hi all

  I use imovie 10.1.1 and idvd 7.1.2 on a Yosemite imac and my question is this:

  I save my project in the file to my desktop, and then create a new project in idvd - no problem. However, when I burn the project to a dvd and play on a TV, the sound is good but the image is blurry and tries to keep the focus. Apparently not at what resolution I save my project of importance, the result is always the same. The film is fine on a computer and I expect a deterioration in the quality when converting to dvd, but surely he can be better than what I'm saying.

  What I am doing wrong?

  It is the quality of the source footage, or am I missing something?

  All the tips and ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks a bunch,

  Sean

  You save the file to iMovie in prores format? If the quality is good in iMovie then sharing as prores should give better results in iDVD.

• iDVD questions-iTunes audio import missing link. try to download the playlist. allow me just to download a song

  iDVD-itunes link missing in the area of audio import. you try to download playlist for slideshow.  any suggestions?

  What system do you use?  Where are you located library?

  I have the same problem with 10.11.5.  He has not tried it with the previous 10.11.4 system.

  The only solution I found is to drag your iTunes folder in this Media/Audio iDVD pane. You can access the tracks there by the artist.

  
  It's the best we can do as iDVD is on his death bed.

  

• does not burn on iDVD file on disk; something that will convert file .dvdproj?

  First of all, I work on a very old iMac:

  Model name: iMac, mid2007

  Model identifier: iMac7, 1

  Processor name: Intel Core 2 Duo

  CPU speed: 2 GHz

  Number of processors: 1

  Total number of cores: 2

  L2 Cache: 4 MB

  Memory: 4 GB

  The only thing about this that is current is the OS I've just updated to El Capitan.

  My problem - I made a slideshow in iDVD (one supplied with the machine; I was surprised he worked at the title of THIS) for a friend, with 148 photos and music. Problem is that I can't burn to a DVD. The process starts, but inevitably iDVD, the computer or whatever, locks and I get the rotation beach ball. So, I have to force quit to get out to it.

  I did not know that iDVD is a dead app, is no longer sold or supported. Shame on me. So here I am with a file .dvdproj which I can view easily on my iMac, but can not burn on a DVD for the girl that I did.

  Before I turn to iMovie and completely redo all the work, I wonder if there is any way I can use the .dvdproj file I have and either convert it to a more accessible type or import it into iMovie, or...

  I know, I know. With a little money and get a new computer and stop trying to do it with Ribbon bandaids adhesive and leads. Laughing out loud

  First try following this workflow to help ensure the best DVD video qualty:

  Once the project you want it save it as an image disk via the menu file → save as Disk Image . It will separate from the process of encoding of the burning process.

  To check coding mount the disk image, launch a DVD player and read it.  If it plays OK with DVD, encoding is good.

  Burn burn to disc with utility disk or toasts to the slowest speed (2 x - 4 x) in order to ensure the best quality.  Always use higher quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are recommended in these forums.

  As test, create a simple second, iDVD project and try to save as a disk image.  If this goes thru OK then recreate the current project from scratch and try to create a disk image of it.

  You have all the materials for moving/video published after their addition to the iDVD project? How much space you have on your startup disk?  With iDVD, you should have a minimum of 20-25 GB of free space.

  The music was purchased from the iTunes store, and if so, does DRM protection?

  

• create small mistresses for iDVD

  I have a 55-minute film that I just finished editing in FCP X.  I want to export the movie in .mov format, so I can put it in idvd (for some reason any iDVD will not work with MPEG4).  The only way I can see for this is file sharing, master file.  The question I have is that when I do that, it creates a master file 64G. Same with the smaller settings (H.264), is still a film of 9.5 G - which is too big to fit on a DVD disc.  I would like to use iMovie to do this, but iMovie has no chapter markers I need to translate the menu DVD - the reason why I had to create the film at the FCC.  My question is: how to export this movie into a .mov file that is smaller and fits on a DVD?

  (I love the DVD creation menu which offers to iDVD - this is why I do not use the creator of DVD in FCP menu)

  The size of the master file is not relevant. iDVD will compress the media in order to comply with the DVD specification. The only factor is the length of the media, and 55 minutes should not be a problem.

• iDVD will not open due to the required debugging atos. Help please I need to produce DVDs with direct access to scenes and have only used iDVD for the years

  I use iDVD to produce videos of my marriage. Latest updates of operating system, the program requires an administrator password to enable atos to continue debugging, and upon entry, iDVD just stops. Is there a way to get around this?

  Hey there WAPhoto,

  I understand that you experience a problem when you try to open iDVD on your computer. I would suggest a troubleshooting step for you that can solve this problem. Please, go to your library folder by using the information in this link:

  In the Finder, click the menu go to the menu bar, and then choose one of the following:

  Library: Hold down the Option key, and then choose library.

  OS X El Capitan: go directly to a specific folder

  https://support.Apple.com/kb/PH22187

  From there, navigate to your Preferences folder. In this folder, find the plist labeled "com.apple.iDVD.plist" and move it to this folder on the desktop.

  Out of this folder and go to the Caches folder. In this folder, find the folder named com.apple.iDVD and move the file named 'Cache.db' in this folder on the desktop as well.

  At this point, you can close the Finder window and relaunch iDVD. If iDVD opens without a problem, you can move the files that you moved to the desktop to the trash and continue to use iDVD as you wish.

  Thank you for coming to Apple Support communities!

• If it is not recommended to burn DL iDVD projects?

  Hello

  When I want to save/record an as project DL iDVD project, iDVD says, one should not burn to / save as disc image, if you want to use DL media.

  Here, he also says that most stand-alone players will not play DL media http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1355450&seqNum=13

  So what is the situation? Any recommendations? Better avoid DL projects?

  Thanks in advance.

  This article from Peachpit is very old.

  I've never seen this comment from iDVD: at what stage do you see that? You can take a screenshot and post here?

  I rarely use DVD double layer as projects more than 2 hours are really too long.

  iDVD encoding settings:

  http://support.Apple.com/kb/HT1502?viewlocale=en_US

  Short version:

  Best Performance is for up to 60 minutes videos

  Is better quality for the videos up to 120 minutes

  Professional quality is also for up to 120 minutes, but a higher quality (and takes much longer)

  It was single layer DVD double those numbers for the double DVD layer.

  Professional: professional quality option uses the advanced technology of re-encoding to encode your video (the first pass determines what parts of the film may be compressor plu data without loss of quality and what are the parts cannot.)  The second pass then encodes the parts accordingly), resulting in the best possible video quality on your DVD burned. You can select this option regardless of the duration of your project (up to 2 hours of video for a single disc layer and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because the professional quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring twice as much time to encode a project like the high quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned about the time needed.

  In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects, etc. Allow about 15 minutes for them.

  You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single layer disc), choose the best Performance. If it is between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single layer disc), choose the quality. If you want the best quality possible encoding for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single layer disc), choose the professional quality. This option takes about twice as long as the high quality option, to select what if time is not a problem for you.

  Use the capacity meter in the project info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.

  NOTE: With the creation of better performance, you can turn off background encoding by choosing advanced > "encode in background. The check is removed to show that it is no longer selected. Encoding turn off background can help performance if your system seems slow.

  And while that check these settings in iDVD preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV widescreen are also what you want.

• iDVD - lost in the maze.

  I have a Macbook Pro 2010 build, 500 Gig HD - 4 GB ram - now updated to 10.  Super DVD writer as part of the system.  This came with all my original programs of the store.  After several updates in OS now El Capitan, somehow I lost the iDVD burning software.  I have projects in iMovie I want to burn (a recent trip to Disney in Florida with his grandchildren).  In the meantime I had downloaded Wondershare - a program (Ultimate DVD) and since then have met some problems after burning to make the system - cut periodically when I play it on an external dvd drive, I just ran a test on a free download from Adoreshare and it seems to work without bug.  I was advised to see if I can reload iDVD it should solve all problems, but were read that Apple gave up iDvd?.  If there is a link for the download of the computer system on the Apple site, I'd love to find it and not to use external 3rd parties programs that provide some.

  Would appreciate an immediate response from the community.

  It should always be your purchased apps list or you may be able to find an iLife DVD on Amazon

• Replacement of IDVD

  On iMac, 2008 (Apple call vintage) now using external hardrive, loading caused fatal Yosemite, recently upgraded to El Capitan 10.11.1, and now IDVD groaned just from not having available blah blah of themes.  Read a lot of people with the same problem, but nobody gives a definitive answer as an alternative.

  Just need something with the capacity to IDVD, nice transitions etc to make some Christmas record to send to the family to play on a DVD player.

  I have I have life 11 that IDVD, but it isn't working/recharge even in customize installation.

  I'm a former so "one-way".

  Am I missing something basic

  I have I have life 11 that IDVD, but it isn't working/recharge even in customize installation.

  Can you describe what happens when you try to install iDVD via the option of customization?  Are you referring to the no message signature that you get when you try to use the installation program?  If so just ignore and continue.

  If all else fails try to install iDVD with the demo version of pacifist. It should look like this:

  

  You, however, won't get the themes for iDVD 6 and 7.

• MacBook Pro display problem

  Hello members of the community.

  As of recently, I have noticed some glitches when feeding on my MacBook or awakened from his sleep.

  The colors are distorted, usually with pink, green, or yellow blobs. Blobs cannot entirely replace the colors, they appear to be contained in a element would normally be. For example. the menu bar will be partially pink and white, but pink does not leave the menu bar in this area, and the Office has green lines on it.

  I tried to take a screenshot, but the problem resolves in about 20 seconds, but it's a recurring problem.

  It happens when I wake up, connection or not. I had also certain powers serious and problems of performance, such that my MagSafe LED would not illuminate when plugged on rare occasions, fan could turn unnecessarily, graphics performance were SUPER slow, and the health of my battery was running out quickly. I actually ran a report on the system at 2 different times and my quality of full load is depleting of 1.2% per charge cycle, which is very worrying. I went from 6281 mAh mAh 6138 maximum capacity after two cycles of load. I'm tracking closely it because at this rate, my battery will survive only at load cycles about 150 instead of the 1000 expected, gives me the idea that this could very well be a bad battery. The computer is also warm to the touch while you sleep, not connected to the power supply. I NAP active but even taking into account should not be hotter my iPhone did the same thing.

  I have reset the SMC, and it solved a couple of problems. The charger works fine now and my performance improved considerably (which made me feel better, either it is a high-performance laptop, a 11-inch MacBook Air should not he surpass), and battery life has improved. I feel even if it uses a lot of power in his sleep. Maybe I need to turn off the NAP and see if that makes a difference. The graphic bug still persists however, and I don't have enough time to see if the max battery is depleting again.

  In regards to the bug, is there something that can be done? Basically, I want to assure you that I took all appropriate measures or if someone else has this problem to see if it can be software related instead of my computer.

  I have the entry level MacBook Pro with the retina, last generation.

  Any constructive contribution welcome!

  See you soon.
