Re: IMovie 09 to iDVD 09 - terrible results
Hi Ronni and Susan Thanks for all your suggestions. I have still not been able to get an acceptable result - so obviously I am doing something wrong even though I have tried all sorts of suggestions - and am now totally confused. I have been very busy and have not been able to focus on my iMovie/ iDVD recently - and I must admit to feeling very discouraged after all the hours I have put in. I am off interstate for the next 3 weeks and will start afresh when I return. Will talk to you then Susan about purchasing/using Toast instead of iDVD - and what versions you are using. Hopefully I will be successful next time around.

Hi Ronni
At last I have found some time to proceed with your instructions.
Thank you so much for them.
The first part went well and the detail you included made it easy.
I saved a DV format of my project.
Working through iDVD was not easy but I finally got through the Theme
part, and dropped my DV movie in.
Unfortunately when viewing the preview there is still an unacceptable
amount of horizontal movement.
Perhaps I should accept that iMovie was designed for movies, not
photos - even though the facility is there to include photos
incorporating a Ken Burns effect - and that I presumed iDVD would burn
DVDs to play on a TV screen without loss of quality - as I have been
able to do on a PC using Photo Story 3 and a Sonic plug-in.
Is there any point in proceeding to burn a DVD or is the quality I see
on the preview what I would get after burning?

Hi Marlene,
First I'll mention a little about iMovie'09 iMovieHD ('06), just
for your reference.
Be aware that iMovie '09 uses 'single field processing' (Interlaced)
meaning every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out,
which reduces the sharpness of the footage.
iMovie 06 (iMovie HD) uses ALL of the image (Progressive) to form
the video.
If your primary workflow is editing DV clips and making DVDs, iMovie
06 (iMovie HD) is better suited.
Your movie will arrive at iDVD in DV format, which is an ideal match
for making a DVD: same resolution, same pixels aspect ratio, and
original quality.
iMovie 06 (iMovie HD) and iDVD 09 is a lossless combination.
iMovie '09 is a wonderful program assuming that you're using it for
what it was designed to do, assemble simple videos to share on the
Internet.

After saying the above, it is not going to help you any as you don't
have iMovieHD and Apple have ceased allowing it for download.
So we work with what you have, that is, your project in iMovie'09,
best quality export to get it into iDVD create a DVD of very good
quality.
As I mentioned in my previous email today … DON'T Share to iDVD!
It is destructive especially to photos.
I suggest you have three choices to get your iMovie project into
iDVD create your DVD.
1. Share Media Browser - Large 720 x 540
2. Share Export Movie - creates a MPEG-4 (.m4v) 720 x 540 Audio
44,100 kHz
3. Share Export Using Quicktime - gives you control over Quicktime
Settings.
(Share always to your Movies folder, then when in iDVD you can click
on Media - then Movies and locate your files).
You could experiment with all the above settings, making sure that
in iDVD you save your iDVD projects Save As Disc Image, so you can
check before your waste any DVDs.
I would suggest, in your case, that No.3 - Share Export Using
Quicktime with these settings would give you the best quality DVD.
Share Export using Quicktime
In the export window that appears,
Export: Movie to DV Stream, click Options
DV Format: DV
Video Format: PAL (leave it at interlaced, as DVD-PAL is interlaced)
Aspect Ratio: 4:3 or 16:9 (depending on how your photos/project was
imported)
Audio Format: 48,000 kHz
This will give you a Quicktime .dv file with Format DV, 720 x 576,
Stereo, 48,000 kHz.
Then you can Open iDVD, bring in your Movie file, and create your DVD.
iDVD Preferences:
Projects: PAL, Encoding: Professional Quality
Once you know your project plays through correctly in iDVD.
Go to File Save As Disc Image
You then see a window Creating your DVD
1. Prepare
2. Process Menus
3. Process Slideshows
4. Process Movies
5. Burn
After all the Rendering, encoding, processing movie, asset
encoding, finally
multiplexing burning is completed, a Disc Image is created.
All this takes a long time, depending on the length of your movie.
6. Open the Disk Image and play it all the way through in DVD
Player.app to check for any errors BEFORE you burn the Disc Image
to a DVD-R Disc.
7. Burn at a slow speed - 2x or 4x for Single Layer DVD-R, 2x for
Double Layer DVD+R DL. (I recommend using Verbatim DVD-R (for single
layer) DVD+R DL Discs (for Double Layer).
NOTE: I did a quick iMovie'09 project this afternoon, and Share to
iDVD using No.2(Share Export Movie - creates a MPEG-4 (.m4v) 720 x
540 Audio 44,100 kHz) No.3 (Share Export Using Quicktime,
with the settings I explained above).
Saved the iDVD project as a Disk Image, (with both projects on the
disk image. t
Then burn't a DVD-R from the Disk Image using Toast Titanium 10, but
you can use either the Finder or Disk Utility to burn a Disk Image
to DVD.
I found both the .m4v .dv with above settings produced a very good
quality DVD when played in my DVD Player connected to TV.
Possibly the DV format was slightly better, but that could just be
my preference, there was not much difference that I could see with
my eyes ;-)
Hope this is helpful to you, as I would very much

RE: IMovie 09 to iDVD 09 - terrible results
Thanks for the comprehensive instructions again Ronni. I will soon be
experimenting with iMovie '09 which I have on the Macbook. Your tips
acknowledged. My video was shot with a Sony HD camcorder which I believe
is 1080 (i or p not sure). It seems from your notes below, the resultant
video when burnt to a disc will be something at a lower resolution that
the original source file. Have I interpreted correctly? Is there a way
of retaining the original resolution or am I dreaming?
