![]() J14:28 EST #3 Brian - It does work in preview mode within iDVD.Guess I'm curious as to why there seems to be some thought that this doesn't work properly. This results in good anamorphic widescreen clips. I found that I could also add widescreen iMovie projects to my iDVD project by doing an IMPORT. J14:12 EST #2 Just a quick follow up to my previous post.Did I miss something, or have I accidentally stumbled onto a different way to create a WS DVD? I'm using OS 10.4.1 with the latest versions of iMovie and iDVD. My only complaint about the final product is that the menu was not widescreen and the photo I put there was horizontally stretched when I had my TV in FULL mode. The only thing I haven't tried is to import a WS video file into an existing iDVD project, though I suspect it would work just fine. I then set my TV up for 4:3 mode (gray bars on the side) and told my player to use 4:3 Letterbox mode and I got a nice letterboxed widescreen image inside the 4:3 window. When I played it back on my WS TV, it played perfectly as an anamorphic movie. When I mounted the disc image, it played as widescreen on my Mac. ![]() The result was a perfect anamorphic widescreen DVD (as far as I could tell). After editing footage in iMovie, create a DVD from iMovie. In window that pops up, select DV widescreen (or DV 16:9, not sure and I'm not at home to doublecheck).Ĥ. J16:32 EST #1 I just got a DV camcorder that can do 16:9, so thought I'd do a quick check to see if iDVD and iMovie would support a widescreen project.Īfter a bit of playing around and research on the internet, I came upon the following set of steps:Ģ.So there you have it-whether you’re converting HD DivX files ( ffmpegX is a great tool for doing this task) or working with 16:9 content from your own DV camera-until Apple fixes this goof in iDVD 5, you now know what you’ll be in for to get a true 16:9 picture to show up on your television. My actual babysitting time was no more than an hour-probably only about a half hour. The majority of it was simply unattended processing while I caught up on some movies and TV shows, paid some bills, and did a load of laundry. Perhaps just under an hour of this time could have been saved if I hadn’t needed to re-import part of the video back into iMovie to correct my own goof, but the time also includes the conversion of two DivX AVI files to DV format, which then had to go through conversion once again as iMovie turned those DV files into something it could chew on.īut all this doesn’t mean I’ve been busy for 15 hours to get the DVD made. My computer has been chomping on the various rendering, copying, importing, etc. So that you’ll know how much time you’ll be facing, I’ve just completed burning a DVD with a bit less than 90 minutes of widescreen content.
