Using PhotoStage I created a slideshow which is about 45 minutes long. I can get it to play fine as an MP4 but don't know how to get it onto a DVD. I used the export -> DVD Movie Disc . It creates several files (I guess an ISO but can't figure out for the life of me how to burn it to a DVD. This process seems very simple but i'm obviously missing some key steps. Any guidance would be appreciated
Still playing around with this to try and get it to burn to a DVD. I found step by step instructions from a discussion about Burning a DVD with VP - I followed them word for word but nothing ends up on the DVD..
Does this matter? I have tried using DVD+R or DVD-R
Burning a DVD with VP
Open your generated mp4 in VP and edit it.
Click theExport Videotab on the toolbar and selectDVD Movie Disc.
Enter aNameand select theBurner.as Borate indicates above. The default might showImage File. but click the down arrow and select yourDVD writer.
Choose Format and AR
ClickCreate. This open another setup window.
I can get to here and then if boots me out... and the message that I get is
Error "Failed to save your slideshow. Verification of burn failed"
Check theVerifyBurn box.
If you have added bookmarks to your video during editing you can choose to use these as chapters in the finished article by checking the appropriate box.
If you want a menu on your DVD then click theAdd Menubutton
Set up a menu (if required) by choosing the template ; titles, background images etc.
ClickSave Menu. This returns to the main setup screen....(The Burn option may be greyed out if there is not a disc in the drive.)
Open the DVD writer and insert a DVD. (I prefer to use an RW disc as you can check things are working OK beforehand) This now activates theBurntab
ClickBurn
VP asks if it is OK to overwrite existing data on the RW disc. ClickOverwrite
Disc is checked, erased and your video is then burned and the drive opened.
Close drive forVerifyingthe burn
Burn copy discs if required.
The completed disc should play OK in your DVD player. (Always does here...)
If you export your project first as (let's say an mp4 or avi etc) you can use the more dedicated NCH Express Burnto create your DVD instead of using the burning options built into VP (which in general, are perfectly adequate) .
