I have created a movie in flash that is a combination of many different movie loops. The final piece is a movie with no beginning and no end, that is supposed to go on for hours.
How can I get this onto a DVD disk? Is it possible to fade out the end so that it does not crop off abruptly? What software can I use?
All suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Hi
I'd recommend posting this is the Standalone and Applications board - you might get a better response there.
But just off the top of my head, I'd say that you could create a standalone Flash movie and burn it, incorporating the start/finish ideas which you mentioned.
Apologies if this advice is off the mark. The guys in the other forum I mentioned probably know a lot more about this than me.
I'm not 100% sure since I never made a dvd (yet) but there are dvd burners out now and I would think that you would be able to burn your movie on a dvd disk.And if you wouldn't be able to put a flash file on a disk, im sure you can export it to a movie file or something.... like I said I never tried.
Its not as simple as burning a DVD and popping it into your player.
Take a look at this page.

It might help you.
Is there any advantage to burning a DVD as opposed to a standard CD? If you're sending out a Flash projector file, I don't see the point in putting it on a DVD and making that a requirement for your viewers.
This combined with the additional work & problems. (see site link above, cheers for that:))
hurricaneone, true, but i think she wants to play it on a normal standard DVD home player too? so she needs the DVD standards.Quote:

I suggest you export the movie as a quicktime in flash, afterwards convert it to the mpeg2-format required for DVD players.
When you work on an Mac you can have a program called
"DVD Studio Pro"
have a look overhere: http://www.apple.com/dvdstudiopro/
the other Apple solution is iDVD, literly drag 'n drop your QuickTime movie in the prog.

Thank you sven, i think this is the information I have been looking for, now i just have to get myself the software, and a dvd drive (is there a specific brand or model you would recomend for mac?)
Thank you for your warm welcome to flashkit, I must say I am amazed at the amount of responses!
and needless to say your website is fabulous!
take care

hey A, that's why we are here, to help eachother ... :)
about the burner (apple likes to call it "superdrive") ...
depends on what machine you are working, don't know much about external dvd-writers, do you work on a G4 tower? maybe it's possible to have a built-in version ...
I just work on a simple TiBook with only a dvdplayer in it.
i suggest you have a look at their site
http://www.apple.com / or because you are in NYC, have a walk to SoHo, their newest store is open since a week or so ... (it's in the old Post office-building)
check it out and keep us informed !
goodluck

If you search the Art and Anime board there is a thread in there that goes into detial on how to do this using two methods.
I did the serach for you:

Instead of burning to VCD you will burn to DVD or you could just leave it as a VCD if you want.
