Hi,
Any help sincerely appreciated here. I am trying to create a DVD that will play a continuous show of slides. I created separate slideshows in iphoto and sent them to the DVD project. When I play the DVD, they do not play one after another. When one slideshow is done, the main menu appears and I have to click the next show. It's like putting in a commercial movie DVD and only being able to play chapters separately - frustrating!
I created the slideshows that way because they have different audio, different transitions, etc. Is there a way to create a slideshow like that on it's own- that has changes in audio and transition within it? I have not been able to do that. Further, it seems that the slideshow feature of iDVD does not have the creativeness of those created in iPhoto, so that's why I did it this way. Also, I get that these imported slideshows are not able to be manually controlled during playback of the DVD, but it I also notice a SERIOUS drop in photo quality from the original slideshow viewed in iphoto to when it is ultimately played in and iDVD project.
In summary, this is what I would LIKE to do --I want to create a movie that plays slides and movie clips continuously, but that has changes in the transitions of slides and I want certain audio to go with certain series of slides, not just a playlist that goes from one song to another. And I want the photos and video to retain their quality. Is this possible?
Thank you and please help - this is for a project for my son's little league team.
