<div>I have spent the past two days struggling with this [as Holly and
others can attest] because the export to iDVD didn't work etc.
In any event, here are the steps, for those who want to know =</div>

a self-playing DVD from Keynote<br>
<br>
April 3, 2007<br>
</b><br>
Have a DVD ready to put in computer and have all your audio and video
assets ready to work with<br>
<br>
creat the Keynote, make sure all the transitions, builds, music and
images are as you like them<br>
<br>
export the Keynote via QuickTime - selfplaying movie, video full size,
640x480 pixels [I had 1040x768 slides in Keynote and exported full
size without changing the pixels, letting iMovie do what it wanted
to], click settings and set compression to Animation, depth to
millions of colors, quality to best, frames per second to 29.97 and
then click okay, name the file and hit
export.<x-tab>

<br>
The video file that results will open in iMovie -- import the .mov
file that resulted from the QT export into iMovie. Then add in
the audio via the media area [i.e., using iTunes, select the tune and
place it at playhead]. Do whatever cuts and edits you wish to in
iMovie. Save your project.<br>
<br>
Share the iMovie project to iDVD - that program will launch and ask
you to insert a DVD....do so. Then it'll go ahead and do all
the encoding etc. that may be necessary.<br>
<br>
Go to Chart view [esp. if you don't want to use the themes Apple
supplies] and click and drag the project movie to the first 'square'
which says that whatever is there will start up automatically upon
insertion of the DVD. That way you don't have the themes
controlling; you could if you want, though.<br>
<br>
Highlight/click the lst 'square' which is now the slide for your
Project Movie and in iDVD go to Advanced and click on Looping.
That way the movie plays without it getting to the Themes.<br>
<br>
Go ahead and burn disk. Test it = after many tries, it played
just fine in the DVD/TV....Thanks to all who helped solve the
problem.</font></div>
