How do i export to dvd

I have created a film in imovie but am stuck where to go next.  I have only used idvd before and that was with help.
Any help appreciated about how to export to dvd, and what app to use. 
Also, any info on how to do dvd arwork on disc?
Thank you in advance of ideas. 

Jane,
If the intended delivery is DVD-Video, whether burned to a disc, or to a folder for later burning to disc. Encore is what you want to use.
As Harm points out, you can Export to either a DV-AVI Type II (can be muxed, bur elemental streams are a fail-safe), or to DVD-compliant MPEG-2 (here I would use elemental streams) and then Imported into Encore (or Linked to Encore via Adobe DL).
In Encore, if you use the DV-AVI Type II files, it will do the calculations for you automatically, or semi-automatically, if you choose. With the MPEG-2, you do the calculations beforehand and make those settings adjustments. This is done via the bit-rate calculator that Harm linked to, or similar.
When you mention "target file size," exactly what are you shooting for here? If it's just fitting to a DVD-5 disc, then Encore will take care of that. If it's something else, please let us know.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • How do you export to DVD?

    I'm new to mac and final cut. I rendered a video but can't figure out how to get it onto a DVD. Makes me feel pretty stupid but I just can't figure this out. Can anyone tell me the process?

    I assume you have Final Cut Studio. Here's an easy way to go.
    If your sequence is edited and rendered in your timeline, just click on it to select it in the browser window. Then go to File/Export Using Compressor.
    When Compressor opens, click on your sequence name to choose a setting. Choose DVD best quality, either 4:3 or 16:9, depending on the format of your sequence, and either 90, 120 or 150 minutes. Choose All, and then delete the AIFF audio track, leaving the Dolby 2.0 audio and the MPEG 2 video.
    Next choose a destination folder for these files to go when Compressor has finished with them. Hit Submit, and wait.
    Now you can open DVD Studio Pro, import your files, design a menu (or use one of the templates), and build and burn your disc.
    You will probably have to look at the DVD Studio Pro manual a little to accomplish this, but it's not that hard.

  • How do I export my DVD player bookmarks

    Greetings everyone,
    I am upgrading to 10.5 and I was hoping to be able to take my DVD player bookmarks with me. The 10.4.11 has DVD player 4.6.5. I'm not sure what 10.5 has but I was wondering how to export the bookmarks and import them into the 10.5 player.
    Thank You for any help
    Marco

    Thank you for your response. I actually purchase a used laptop and installed 10.5 on it and everything seams to be working fine. I want to completely reformat the old computer and do a clean install of 10.5. I have never done a bootable back up, but that is a good idea for the new (used) laptop.
    I know where the bookmarks are in 10.4- user folder-Library-Application support-DVD player-settings. I am just not sure what to do in 10.5. I don't think it is stored in the same place.

    Thanks for replying.

  • How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs?

    (Fifth futile attempt in two hours, before I learned there was a Post webpage – I’m new to ApSuppCom - and after I learned that I am not allowed to update previous content, so I had to back out, make a few changes, and start over.)  How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 (complete with superimposed captions and music tracks) from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs ?  (Some other specs: Mac OS Lion 10.7.5; Capacity 499.5 GB;  Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core  2 Duo; Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3; Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256MB)
    I cannot do a copy (export) without various error messages appearing and the inevitable stoppage occurring.  Always with the DVD Video Player final message reading, “Supported disc not available.” Advisors and Mac Geniuses at local Apple Stores have told me to try Roxio Toast.  When I visited the Roxio website, and found numerous other company products, the descriptions all seemed to suggest that most of the apps shown can easily export videos to DVDs, but nothing was said about finished digital slide shows being exported.  At future events soon,  I hope to be handing out these finished DVDs (free) to the people in them.   Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 (complete with superimposed captions and music tracks) from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs ?
    Aperture cannot burn slideshows to a DVD.  It only can export a video of your slideshow.
    In Aperture 3 you use the "Export" button in Aperture's slideshow project to render a video to a folder on your disk.
    Then you use iDVD or another program to burn a video DVD.

    Could you please describe the exact steps that are causing these error messages?
    How are you exporting your slideshow from Aperture? Which settings are you using? And how are you importing the video to iDVD or Toast to burn a video DVD?

  • HT3149 How do I export my iphoto album in the same order that it appears onto a flash drive or dvd?

    How do I export one of my albums in iphoto in the same order that it appears onto a flash drive or dvd?

    Remember that the FInder does not have the same sorting options that iPhoto has - no manual sorting for instance. So
    File -> Export and in the resulting dialogue note the options for Naming Files
    Album Name with Number will give you what you want.

  • How do I export from IMovie when "not enough room in Heap Zone" error code appears?   How can I correct,  what to Do.."export movie" insteand of Media browser or IDVD?  Finalize movie?  I want to burn it to DVD!

    How do I export from IMovie to Wondershare Creator to Make DVD and share hour long movie when I am unable to "publish" movie on Media Browser of IDVD because the error code "not enough room in heap Zone/ " appears and function is aborted. 
    I shortened the movie, that is no cure...Correcting date info on clips does not pertain.  Why would Apple throw roadblocks in your way without solving problems they create?
    A techie made an appointment on the phone and was totally incapable of addressing the problem.
    What is a heap zone????

    Instead of Share to Media Browser, what happens if you try Share Menu > Export Movie... (choose Large size) and save it to the Desktop?
    If that fails try Share Menu > Export using QuickTime...
    Then pick Movie to QuickTime Movie, then click on Options... which is just to the right of Export
    Under the Video section click on Settings...
    Then in the pulldown menu at the top, titled Compression Type: Choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Then click OK. And click OK again, and save it to the desktop. Once the .mov file is created, you can import that into iDVD and most likely it will work in Wondershare Creator if you prefer to use that instead.

  • How do I export a 98 min video edited in FCP 7 to IDVD for single disc DVD burning?

    How do I export a 98 min video edited in FCP 7 to IDVD for single disc DVD burning?

    Your current settings should match the source material in your timeline. Though, it probably doens't matter what it is as long as your settings are not for a highly compressed format like h.264 or mpeg2.
    iDVD should take any all "I" frame format and encode it. (All I frame formats include DV, DVCProHD, ProRes).

    IDVD won't read my iMovie.  I downloaded BURN, did as instructed and the DVD player still won't read the disk.

  • How do I export an IMovie to a dvd that will read on a DVD video player?

    How do I export an iMovie '13 to a dvd that will read on a DVD video player?

    Use iDVD to do it. Select and click "Share" at the top of the window in the menu bar of iMovie, and you can find "iDVD". But  have you got iDVD installed on your Mac? If not, please check https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4821 to reinstall it. If you have no iDVD installed and don't want to reinstall it either, you can use other DVD creator software to help you burn iMovie to DVD.

  • How can I export a slide show to play on a DVD player

    I have an album of photos from my recent holiday I would like to view these on our family TV. I have a blue ray DVD player. How can I create a DVD to play on the DVD player from the album?

    Export the slideshow from iPhoto, that makes a movie of it.
    Do you want to use this DVD in a domestic DVD player? If so, then the disk will have to be 'authored' to make it the correct form for that. If you have iDVD then that's the app you use. However, iDVD is no longer developed or distributed by Apple. You may be able to get it on an old iLIfe install disk.
    Other options:
    Burn: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/21992/burn

    But there are lots of others too. Search on the App Store or MacUpdate
