Creating a DVD of an iPhoto Slideshow
	Sunday, May 10 2009 By: chrisb An easy way to make a simple slideshow DVD NOTE: This tip requires that your computer has a SuperDrive, which many older Macs do not have. How to tell if my Mac has a SuperDrive To create a DVD of an iPhoto slideshow, you must first follow the setup instructions in this tip. To create a DVD of the iPhoto Slideshow, we are going to use a small feature of iDVD that lets you create a DVD from a single movie. This DVD will not have any sort of menu structure. Rather it will just play when you insert it into a DVD player. Launch iDVD. Go to File / One Step DVD from movie... from the menu bar. Navigate to the iPhoto Slideshows folder inside your Pictures folder [iPhoto '09] or your Movies folder [iPhoto '08] and select the file that has the same name as your iPhoto slideshow. Insert a DVD into the Drive. iDVD will write your slide show to the DVD. When the DVD pops out, insert it into the regular DVD player connected to a TV and enjoy. DVD slideshows make great gifts for friends or family members. Related Items: iPhoto | iDVD | SuperDrive

Creating a DVD of an iPhoto Slideshow Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, February 02 2010 This sounds fine but I've used 12 MP images from a Nikon D90, they look great on a 27" iMac. However, transfer to DVD to play on a 46" Sony Bravia and the results look pixelated and jaggy. Tried loads of different things e.g. using iMovie instead etc. but the results are the same - awful. Look this up in any Mac Newsgroup and loads of people have the same complaint.

Playing an iDVD disc on my regular SD TV doesn't look all that great, I'm afraid. --chrisb Reply to This
