iphoto slideshow to DVD

I created a slideshow on my iPhoto program and I cannot seem to get it to burn to a CD (external DVD player. I've tried to import to iTunes and it won't and I cannot drag it to the DVD player??

As Terrence said previously export the slideshow to the Desktop as a Movie file.


Next you need a video DVD authoring application to create a video DVD disc that can be played on a set top DVD player.


Go to the App Store and search for "video DVD". You'll get a lot of potential candidates, some of which are free but will add a water mark to the video until your purchase the paid version.


Nearly all of the authoring apps can save as a disk image, .dmg or list. Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:

Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.

To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.

Then burn to disk with Disk Utilit at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
