why does my imovie look red when burned in idvd? Looks great played in Quicktime before I burn it
Hi
Only time I got this was when making a video built on photos and all of them were .bmp.
Converting them to .jpg - helped
Else - don't know

Unfortunately all my images are JPG. I did notice the images I scanned in to use are the red ones when put into iDVD or burned with Toast. Digital images seem fine. All look good straight from iMovie so I may have to leave as .mov unless someone has an idea that will allow a non-red iDVD to be made
Did You in iDVD try
• Save as a DiskImage first
• test this with DVD-tool
How did this play
• Still too red ?
If OK
• Burn the .img file by using - Disk Util tool
If it now is red again - then I would suspect the
• DVD brand - I only use Verbatim
• DVD type - I use DVD-R as it works on most DVD-players (never +/-RW - as they can go into a peculiar colot - my got blue)
• Burn speed set down to x2 - Woirks so much better
• Never under 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk

Nothing helped. I ended up just taking the .m4v exported from iMovie and playing it through a flashdrive and all looked great. Once the .m4v entered iDVD world, fleshes became red.
OK
.m4v - is NO video Codec - but a container that can hold about just anything.
Open it with QuickTime-Player then open Inspector [cmd+I] then read
Video format/codec: nnnnnnnnnnnnn
What does it read - a codec iDVD can use or Not

Format:
H.264, 720 x 540, Millions
AAC, 2 channels, 44100 Hz
How else would I output from iMovie if not as .m4v and get the higher quality?
