I made a movie on iMovie and it says that I need to use iDVD to burn a CD, but I don't have iDVD.

My grandpa passed away on Tuesday, and I am responsible to make the DVD of pictures for his Funeral, which is (YIKES) tomorrow. I am tryingt to burn a disk with the video, and the "HELP" center told me to use iDVD, which my computer doesn't have... What are my alternate options, or how do I fix this... Thanks!

Casey, I'm sorry to hear of your grandfather's passing.  I imagine you are pretty busy at the moment and don't need problems like this.  I think "Meg the Dog" is right in that you may be able to simply play the movie direct from your laptop but of course you will need to check with the funeral home if that is possible and check what sort of input and cables they need as you might require an adaptor.
Alternatively, I understand that newer Macs don't come with iLife, which explains why you don't have iDVD.  It is a great program and perhaps you could buy and download it online (http://www.apple.com/ilife/) to solve your problem.  Be aware that could take some time to download, install and then create your DVD.
Perhaps at this time with so much pressure, someone with this stuff already setup might be able to help you out.  Maybe even your local Apple Store if you have one nearby.
