Burn Photo Slideshow to DVD on Mac OS X

"So I have a MacBook Pro. I'm trying to make a slideshow and put it on a disk. iDVD has been giving me a lot of trouble and it is hard for me to work with. I worked on iDVD for a few hours one night and when I tried to reopen the application it said my themes were lost, something along those lines? What is the most efficient way to make this slideshow?"

Anyway, you should feel happy that iDVD is still available on your Mac. For those who own Macs shipped with OS X 10.7 Lion and 10.8 Mountain Lion, iDVD is no longer provided. It is not available on the Mac App Store with all of the other iLife apps either. It is, however, only available in the boxed copy of iLife '11.

Whether iDVD frustrated you or was dropped from your Mac, you have reason to find a third-party application to replace iDVD and burn a photo slideshow DVD on your Mac. A pretty good app that works is named DVD Photo Slideshow for Mac. It lets you create photo slideshow movie and burn photo slideshow DVD with ease. Just like iPhoto, DVD Photo Slideshow for Mac enables you to make a slideshow of your favorite photos with music, transitions, theme, Pan & Zoom, effects, and more within several minutes. You can output your slideshows as MP4 or MOV files. Better than iPhoto, DVD Photo Slideshow for Mac has the ability to burn your slideshows to DVD discs directly. It is really the best iDVD alternative for Mac users.



It is quite easy to burn photo slideshow to DVD on Mac OS X using DVD Photo Slideshow.

1. Download and install DVD Photo Slideshow onto your Mac
2. Add photos and music
3. Set theme and transition
4. Set photo duration and transition duration
5. Edit photo
6. Preview slideshow
7. Burn slideshow to DVD

Done.

DVD Photo Slideshow Review

No matter how poor is the information, presenting it in an interesting manner will still get you some points. If your friend has better vacation pictures to show, you can still capture the audience by showing them a neat presentation. That's where DVD Photo Slideshow comes in. The name should be self explaining, but if you're a bit slow, it lets you create neat slideshows with tons of transition effects, themes, menus, and more.

If your Internet connection is sluggish, you should start downloading before going on vacation and by the time you get back, it should be done. The installation package is about 28 MB large, but at least the installation itself goes without a hitch. You won't need to install anything else or restart your PC.

Although it looks complex, you don't need to be an advanced user in order to create a slideshow with this program. The interface works like a wizard with main buttons arranged in the order of the steps you need to take. First is the photo organizer where you browse through your folders and add images in the designated area. Here you can also choose transition effects and album themes. There's no advanced editing required here. Everything is neatly organized so that all you have to do is to select or click and drag. The second main button lets you choose menus for the slideshow. Again, it only implies selecting a menu and a few extra, but easy options. Finally you can burn your slideshow to a DVD. If DVD Photo Slideshow looks and feels too simple, the range of output formats helps you a lot in this regard. You can burn it as a DVD video disc, Blu-ray, MPEG-4, and many more. You can even export it in a format for your iPad or other iDevices.

How to transfer photos from iPad to Mac with iPhoto

You may need to move photos taken with your iPad camera to your Mac hard drive from time to time, as they have taken up much of your iPad capacity. You may also want to create slide shows with your great iPad photos in your iMovie on Mac or burn them onto DVD's in iDVD. So what's the best and easiest way to transfer photos from iPad to Mac?

If your USB cable is available, it is very easy and fast to move iPad photos to Mac so long as iPhoto has been installed to your Mac.

What is iPhoto for Mac?

iPhoto is designed to allow the importing of pictures from digital cameras, scanners, picture CDs and the Internet to a user's iPhoto Library. Almost all digital cameras are recognized without additional software, as are many scanners. iPhoto supports most common image file formats.

After photos are imported, they can be titled, labeled, sorted and organized into groups (known as "events"). Individual photos can be edited with basic image manipulation tools, such as a red-eye filter, contrast and brightness adjustments, cropping and resizing tools, and other basic functions. iPhoto does not, however, provide the comprehensive editing functionality of programs such as GIMP, Apple's own Aperture, or Adobe's Photoshop (not to be confused with Photoshop Elements or Album).

Since the Apple iPad also works as an HD digital camera, you can certainly import pictures shot with iPad to your iPhoto library. Now let me show you how to transfer photos from iPad to Mac using iPhoto:

1. Connect your iPad with your Mac via cable

2. Run iPhoto on your Mac and find your iPad in the left panel under DEVICES

3. Choose to import selected or all photos into iPhoto library



4. Switch to the Last Import tab. Press Edit -> Select All and then press Edit -> Copy to copy all photos you just imported from your iPad



5. Go to Finder, press Edit -> Paste XX Items and paste the imported photos to your Mac hard drive



In case your cable isn't at hand and there's wifi network around, you may download the iOS app Wireless Transfer App (iTunes link) to help you easily get iPad photos transferred to your Mac hard drive. Here is the tutorial about how to transfer photos and videos from iPad to Mac using this app:

How to transfer photos and videos from iPad to Mac via wifi

Sync Photos and Videos from PC to iPhone with and without iTunes

If you have a batch of photos and videos stored in your PC hard drive, do you want to upload some great ones to your iPhone? Your uploaded photos can be then used within your iPhone social networking apps and set as your avatar. Or if you have iMovie installed to your iPhone, you can add the uploaded photos and videos to iMovie project for further editing. So, what's the easiest and quickest way to transfer photos and videos from computer to iPhone?

The common way is to turn to iTunes for help. To transfer photos from PC to iPhone, you first create a folder with the photos you want to transfer and then connect your iPhone with your PC via a cable. Open iTunes, click your device name and switch to the Photos tab in the right panel, where you can choose to sync that folder in your computer. Click the Apply button and you will get the photos downloaded to your iPhone in no time.



To transfer videos from PC to iPhone, you need to check whether or not the video files are in iPhone friendly format first. The iPhone can only accept MPEG4 video. So for non-MPEG4 video files, you need to get a video converter to turn them into MP4 files. Then you just add the videos to your iTunes library, drag and drop the videos from the Movies section to your iPhone and get them synced to your iPhone.

So how about transferring photos and videos from PC to iPhone without iTunes? I have shared with you the way to transfer photos from iPhone to Mac with Wireless Transfer App. As a matter of fact, this iOS app can also be used to upload photos and videos from PC to iPhone. Let's take a look at the instructions:

1. Download and install Wireless Transfer App to your iPhone. ( iTunes link )
2. Make sure your PC and your iPhone are in the same Wi-Fi network.
3. Run Wireless Transfer App on your iPhone.



4. Tap the Receive button in the welcome screen of the app.
5. Go to the Receive from Computer screen.
6. Open a web browser in your PC and type the http address as exactly shown in the Receive from Computer screen.



7. Find the Upload Images and Videos button in your PC browser.
8. Browse your PC and choose the photos and videos you want to transfer to your iPhone.
Done.

A totally different way to get your photos and videos transferred, right? You don't need to use iTunes or cable. The app makes good use of wifi network to exchange photos and videos between PC and iPhone.
