Book features in iDVD ?

Hi all,

I have spent all afternon looking at existing posts but could not find any satisfactory answer to my problem.

I created a book in iphoto and sent it to iDVD. It is read as a movie there and the "slideshow" has very poor photo quality. The photo quality seems to be an issue met by many. I have read suggestion to export slideshows to Quick time, then import in iDVD. However it doesn't seem to be possible to export a book. An album, yes, not a book. Yet I like the book features (nice background, several photos per slide and find it very frustrating not to be able t have that in iDVD (in a good enough quality).

Any idea ? Thanks a lot in advance and sorry if I missed the answer somewhere in the previous posts.

Hi S

I at least haven't come up with this idea. But an interesting one anyhow.

I would try to save the iPhoto Book as postscript. Then use a converting
program like GraphicConverter™ to convert it to eg .jpg slides and try
to make a slideshow from them.

Interesting !

ps. WHY isn't there stars to give for interesting questions ????? ds

Hey struggling (love your name by the way!)

As I said, I use the book feature a lot and send it to iDVD and don't have too many problems with the end product (perhaps the photo's are marginally reduced in quality but that's about it). If you are looking for variety for your slideshows have a look at FotoMagico (you can download a free demo version to play with).

With your poor quality "book" presentations in iDVD - is the quality poor on viewing in iDVD, or when you actually burn the disk? I ask this because often what looks poor on your computer actually is quite good on a tv.
