How can I change the file extension in IDVD to be able to post on my website? I need one of the following formats. MPEG, M4V, AVI, MOV, WMV, 3GP, MKV, MP4, MTS, FLV, DV
iDVD '08, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)
Is this a commercial video DVD or one that you created?
OT
Thanks for getting back to me. It's one I created in IDVD, images and music.
Then use Handbrake to rip the slideshow as a movie file.
Just tried to download this and it doesn't work. Any tips on downloading. It says my Mac is missing something.

It will not load properly and the file is a .dvdproj Not your normal mp4,mov, etc.
That's an iDVD project file, not a burned video DVD disk image.
If the slideshow is from stills and created in iDVD you have two options:
1 - find the photos used to create the slideshow and recreate the slideshow in iPhoto or iMovie and export from iPhoto as a movie file. That will give you the best quality movie file. The Project ➙ Project Info menu in iDVD
will open the Project Info window and show you were the photos are located that are used in the slideshow:
Using the source files to recreate the slideshow will give you a much higher qualily slideshow movie file than option #2 below:
2 - save the iDVD project as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option and then rip with Handbrake. This will result is a lower quality movie file that can be created by iPhoto or iMovie.
How can I email a slideshow from IDVD that somebody can see either in a .mov format mp4, etc
