General Mac software discussions forum: How do I burn a Photoshop slideshow to DVD?

And what versions are used?

Then I can look at online searches such as ask.com, google to see how folk solved it.

-> By the way. Many Windows PCs no longer have an optical drive and some can't play DVDs. So be sure this is worth your time. And be sure you are ready for the support calls.

Sorry, I was posting this question for a friend. It was iPhoto, not Photoshop. I emailed him requesting the version of iPhoto he used, but he has not replied yet.

I'm not sure how he uploaded it to Vimeo, but I assume the process would be similar. M guess is he would use iDVD to create the DVD, but I'm unfamiliar with the process.

He just wants a DVD folks can play in their DVD player connected to their TV. Nothing fancy, and they probably won't be playing it on their computers.

I see the top 3 answers. I have no reason to use any other of those answers.

is the Help file within iPhoto.

I believe it details this procedure. There is also one in iDVD

He is using iPhoto 11, version 9.2.3 on a Mac Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. The Basics4Mac links are for iPhoto 09, but I expect the procedure is much the same. I will share the info with him, and encourage him to check the help files in iPhoto and iDVD. Thanks for your help!

Once he has the slideshow the way he wants it use the Share -> iDVD menu option. This will create a QT movie file of the slideshow and export it into iDVD. Then just pick the theme you want to use in iDVD, make any changes/additions to the menu (like adding music, etc.) and follow this workflow:

Once you have your 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<span>

<span>To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.

<span>Then<strong> burn to disk</strong> with Disk Utility or Toast 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
