1/5/12 11:47 pm MacMost: How Do I Make a iDVD Fit On a Tv Screen? After 6 thousand hours of working on this project: Filming, editing on iMovie HD-6 forever, and finally saving to Quicktime Movie, and then sending it to iDVD (several times), I have a movie that looks great on the computer, but on a TV, the edges fall off the screen. This is a big deal because there are words on some of those edges that are cut off. This is true of both sides of the screen on a big screen TV and a small, not HD TV. I have saved the QT movie in a 4:3 and a 16:9 (on the advice of Applecare, and, yes, that makes no sense, but I did it anyway). Both aspects have the same consequence on the TV screen anyway. This is a movie I made of my mother’s life, and need to send it to a lot of relatives.

I don’t want there to be any glitches!! Can anyone help? I only have the MacBook Pro iDVD program to burn a disk with.
1/6/12 @ 8:01 am My guess is that you are seeing the difference between the 720×480 resolution of DVD video and the 640×480 resolution that some DVD players and TVs use as “standard definition.” No matter if you use 16:9 or 4:3, the DVD is 720×480. With 4:3 it may mean cutting off the top and bottom a little. WIth 16:9 it will mean huge black bars at the top and bottom. Can’t remember exactly how each is handled. But the result is always 720×480 in size. Then when the DVD player shows the video, you only see the 640×480 middle section of the 720×480 video.
I thought there was a way to make iDVD use your 4:3 video so there are black bars at the left and right sides. That is what you are going for. I don’t have iDVD handy to check it, but look for a setting like that. 1/6/12 @ 9:43 am I have had this problem also. My best solution was to change programs.
I created a slide show that had the edges cropped off, so I switched to FotoMagico by Boinx Software. The family DVD I made at the time contained only photos, but FotoMagico now supports movies also. I found that I could move specific screens and slides, so that nothing was cut off. I assume it will do that same for movies. I’m still ripping movies, so haven’t tested it yet. There are 2 versions of the product and a 5-day trial on the site, so you might want to check it out. Hope that helps.
2/1/12 @ 5:24 am I am having a similar problem. I was really proficient with the old iMovie HD 5.0.2, so transferred the application from my old iMac to my newer intel iMac, and built my movie in the old app. I ran into trouble when I tried to export my iMovie to iDVD, and the apps aren’t talking to each other.
(my interpretation!) Next I tried to import the movie file to the newer version of iMovie, and it completely deconstructed my movie. I don’t have the time or inclination to learn the new iMovie, and the video needs to be ready for my father’s funeral next week!:-( So, the long and short of it is, I figured out a way to get a good quality video into a mp4 file, and then imported the entire mp4 movie into the newer iMovie ’09 version 8.0.6.
My video is now playing fine in iMovie ’09, but when I burn it in iDVD (7.1.2), and put the burned DVD in a DVD player to show on a TV, it’s cutting off the top (in some cases my father’s missing his head!) and bottom (Look, Ma, no feet!) no matter which TV I play it on! I tried the DVD on an old 29″ CRT TV with no HD capabilities, and also on my son’s bigscreen HD TV. Consequently, I don’t think it’s the TV, I think it’s the DVD. I don’t know what kind of TV I will be given to use when I play the video next week at my father’s funeral. I need to create a DVD that will play on any TV without my needing to change the TV settings. I could do this in the old iMovie with movies burned in iDVD, so don’t know why I can’t now?! Are there settings in iMovie ’09 and/or settings in iDVD that I can fix to eliminate this problem?
I have tried changing the ratios, I’ve set my preferences in iMovie to “fit” not “cropped”, and nothing works. I don’t care if I have bars on the sides, or on the top or bottom, I just want my whole movie to show in the final product! I am a complete layperson, so I need a-z steps on what I need to do– starting in settings in iMovie 09, exporting to iDVD, and finally what ratios and settings in iDVD to make this happen. Can someone please help me FAST!???
Archiving, Encoding, and Burning iMovie's purpose is to create a movie, which can be published to a Web page, sent to an iPod or Apple TV, or distributed in other ways. IDVD's purpose, however, is to create a project that can be burned to a DVD disc. It contains high-quality video and audio that will play on a consumer DVD player. Without the disc-burning step, iDVD is pretty much just an interesting exercise in customizing a user interface. True to form, the process of burning a disc is simple: click the glowing Burn button, insert a recordable DVD disc (DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, or DVD+RW), and go outside to enjoy the sunshine for a few hours. But getting to that point, while not difficult, involves a few choices that determine the amount of data that can be stored on the disc and the quality of the finished project. When you save your project as an archive, the Save As dialog contains archive-specific options.
Enable or disable the following options. The estimated size of the archive appears to the right and changes based on your choices.
Include themes. If your project uses themes that aren't likely to be on another computer (such as third-party themes you purchased, or favorite themes you designed), enable this option to copy the necessary information to the archive. If you leave this disabled, but your project contains custom elements, an error dialog appears on the other computer when you open the archive ( ).
External Burners For most of iDVD's existence, the only official way to burn a DVD was to do it on a Mac that contained an Apple-supplied internal SuperDrive. Now, at long last, that restriction is history: you can burn to external DVD burners directly from iDVD.
Include encoded files. IDVD can encode material in the background, which reduces the time it takes to burn the disc (see 'Choosing an Encoding Setting' on the next page). Including these files means it will take less time to burn the project on another machine, but it also makes the archive size larger. Click Save.
After a few minutes, depending on the size of your project, a new archive file is created. Tips. An archive contains all the data your project needs—except fonts. If your project contains a font that may not be on the computer to which you're sending the archive, be sure to also send a copy of the font. If you've included any protected audio files (such as older songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store) in your archive, you won't be able to open the project on another computer unless that machine is authorized by you. A warning dialog appears ( ), and then opens iTunes so you can input your iTunes Music Store identification and password.
The encoding options are located in the Project Info window, as well as in iDVD's preferences. To choose an encoding setting for newprojects:. Open iDVD's preferences and click the Projects icon.
For the Encoding setting, click the radio button beside the type of encoding you wish to use. Best Performance Best Performance provides up to 60 minutes of video and shorter burn times than High Quality. IDVD encodes the video while it's running, whether you're doing something else in iDVD or working in another program ( ). Encoding and Burn Times To give you a rough idea of how long it takes for iDVD to encode projects using the encoding settings, here are the results of burning a two-hour project on a 2.4 GHz iMac. High Quality: 1 hour 15 minutes.
Professional Quality: 3 hours 52 minutes. Professional Quality Professional Quality uses the same encoding algorithms found in Apple's pro-level applications. Like High Quality, it uses VBR, but it takes two passes through the footage to optimize the compression. Professional Quality projects tend to feature richer colors and better reproduction than High Quality projects ( ). Tips.
If you're using Best Performance, wait until the assets are finished encoding in the Project Info window before you burn. High and Professional Quality do not encode video in the background the way Best Performance does. Instead, they perform calculations during the burning phase. So, don't stare at the Encoding area waiting for the encoding to finish, because it hasn't started. As projects get longer than 60 minutes, their image quality is more likely to decrease due to the additional compression that needs to be applied. If higher image quality is important to you, try not to skirt that two-hour border with your project sizes ( ). These examples come from a 118-minute project (High Quality) and the same footage in a 48-minute project (Best Performance).
More motion and noise gets more compression (top), resulting in pixelation around the trees (detail). However, when there is less motion, the two encoding styles look very much alike (bottom, with detail). After you burn a project using High or Professional Quality, iDVD holds onto the files it encoded.
However, if you remove any assets from the project and want to burn it again, be sure to first choose Delete Encoded Assets from the Advanced menu to force iDVD to re-scan the footage and choose the best compression settings. The Capacity figure in the Project Info window is based on the type of encoding you've specified. If iDVD is set to use Best Performance but the capacity exceeds 4.2 GB, switch to High or Professional Quality—iDVD changes its estimate. Burning the DVD Before you click the Burn button, make sure you have enough hard disk space available: at least twice the amount the project occupies.
You can view your project's size and the free space on the hard disk that contains your project by choosing Project Info from the Project menu. To change the name of the burned disc:. Choose Project Info from the Project menu, or press Command-I. The Project Info window appears ( ). How to Fix Missing Assets The Project Info dialog tracks everything you've added to the project, even assets that you've deleted. If the file cannot be found, iDVD will not proceed when the time comes to burn.
I learned this the hard way when I dragged a JPEG image file to a menu background, decided it didn't look good, and then deleted it from the Background well in the Menu pane. Since the image no longer appeared in the project, I deleted it from my hard disk. There are two solutions:.
Double-click the item in the Project Info window and choose another image. Go to the Map view and delete the asset entirely.
To burn the DVD:. Click the Burn button; the iris reveals the glowing Burn button that's been hiding under iDVD's interface ( ).

If errors are found before burning, iDVD gives you the opportunity to fix or ignore them.(The 'closed' Burn button is like the bright red safety cover that's always mounted over The Big Important Button—the one that launches the missiles, opens the airlocks, or initiates the self-destruct sequence that destroys the villian's secret underground lair in all those movies.)Otherwise, the program asks you to insert a blank recordable DVD. A progress dialog appears that identifies the stages of the process ( ):. Stage 1: Prepare. IDVD ensures that it has everything it needs to continue burning. Stage 2: Process Menus. Buttons, motion menus, and other menu interface elements are rendered and encoded. Stage 3: Process Slideshows.
Slideshow photos are resized and compressed as needed. If you've specified slideshow transitions, they are rendered separately during this stage. Stage 4: Process Movies. Depending on which encoding method you've chosen, this stage usually takes the longest. Stage 5: Burn.
The footage is multiplexed, which combines the audio and video data into a single stream that can be read by DVD players. Burning is when the laser actually etches your data into the surface of the disc. Tips. If you've specified Best Performance, wait for asset encoding to finish before starting the burn process.

Remember that the total space occupied on the disc includes motion menus, slide-shows, etc. So if your movie is 56 minutes long, you may still get an error message that the project is too big. Earlier versions of iDVD required you to enable the Motion button to include motion on the disc, but iDVD now renders the motion elements whether the Motion button is highlighted or not. To burn a project with no motion, set the Loop Duration slider in the Menu Info window to zero (00:00). I frequently burn test copies of a project to a rewriteable DVD-RW disc, so I'm not throwing away a bunch of shiny platters. When you insert such a disc that already has data on it, iDVD gives you the option to erase it before continuing with the burn process ( ).
If you insert a rewriteable disc that contains data, iDVD can erase it during the burn stage. Including transitions between menus or within slideshows adds time to the burning process. Did you create a widescreen movie in iMovie, but it's not appearing as wide-screen in your DVD player? Check to see if the player has a 16:9 or letterbox feature. Some models (such as mine at home) play the movie full frame if it doesn't detect a flag on the disc instructing it to letterbox the picture. Wondering at what speed your Super-Drive is burning the disc? The answer is found in Mac OS X's console.log file.
After you burn a project, open the file, located at Computer/Library/Logs/Console/. Saving as a Disc Image Until iDVD 5, you needed to own a Mac with an Apple-supplied SuperDrive to burn iDVD projects. It wouldn't work with third-party external burners. Now, that restriction is gone. However, there are still occasions when you want to save the project as a disc image, which effectively 'burns' your project to the hard drive.
For example, you may want to burn a DVD from that disc image on another computer, or mount the image on your desktop and preview the final project using the DVD Player application. To save as a disc image:. Instead of clicking the Burn button, choose Save As Disc Image from the File menu, or press Command-Shift-R ( ). Save as VIDEOTS Folder If you just want to test the quality of the encoded material on the same machine, choose Save as VIDEOTS folder from the File menu.
This option does the same work as creating a disc image, but the files are just stored in a folder (and therefore are not as transportable). Point DVD Player at that folder to watch the 'disc.' After the Burn When the burning process is complete, iDVD spits out the DVD disc and asks if you'd like to make another copy ( ). If so, insert a new disc; otherwise, click Done.
If you're creating multiple copies of the same disc, burn them in succession so you don't have to go through the encoding stage each time. Here are a few other suggested things to do while you're in your cooling down period. Test your project Just because you have a shiny disc in hand doesn't guarantee that it works. Test it on your own machine using DVD Player. Test it on friends' Macs and PCs, and insert it into your consumer DVD player.
Test, test, test, or you may find yourself singing, 'To every season, burn, burn, burn.' Delete encoded assets If you don't need to burn another disc, you can free up some hard disk space by deleting the project's encoded assets, which are stored in the project file. Create an archive of the project for offline storage to make sure you have all of the original footage.
To delete encoded assets:. From the Advanced menu, choose Delete Encoded Assets. Make duplicates If you want to make copies of the DVD without going through the iDVD burning process, use Disk Utility or other software such as Roxio's Toast.
