Am I missing something? How do I burn an iMovie to DVD

Question

I've spent hours importing and assembling clips in iMovie 08 and got it ready..but for the life of me, I cannot find out how to simply burn this to a DVD to go watch on television with my family. I don't want to export to youtube or my iPhone....Just a traditional DVD please...
Anyone?

Try iMovie Help, which offers this Help Topic when I search for "iDVD":
*Creating a movie to use with iDVD, iWeb, or other Apple applications*
If you want to use of your iMovie projects in iDVD, iWeb, or another Apple application, you need to render it and send it to the Media Browser. iMovie allows you to render one or more sizes of your a movie, depending on the size of the original media used in the project.
If the larger sizes are not available, the original project media isn’t large enough to render in that size. The largest media size used in the project determines the final movie sizes you can render.
Tiny: Always 176 by 144 pixels.
Mobile: Always 480 by 272 pixels.
Medium: Varies in size from 640 by 480 pixels (standard aspect ratio) to 640 by 360 pixels (widescreen), depending on the size of the media in your project.
Large: Always 960 by 540 pixels (widescreen). No large size is rendered if your original video isn’t high definition (HD).
The dots below each device in the table of sizes indicate which movie sizes are recommended for use with that device. Hovering the pointer over the “i” next to the movie dimensions displays the following information for the rendered movies:
H.264: The standard video compression that's used in the movie.
fps: The frame rate of the movie in frames per second.
Kbps: The maximum rate at which the movie can be streamed over the internet in kilobytes per second.
MB: The size of the movie file in megabytes.
To share your project with other applications through the Media Browser:
Select it in the Project Library, and then choose Share > Media Browser.
Select the size that best matches what you’ll be using the video for. For iDVD, the Large size is best.
Click Share.
Rendering can take up to several minutes depending on the size of your movie. It will also take longer if you render more than one movie size at once.
Open iDVD or your other application and then look for the rendered movies in the Movies window or iLife Media Browser.
For best results in iDVD, select the largest movie that’s available.
In iMovie, an icon appears next to the project’s name in the Project Library to indicate that the project has been rendered.
If you make further edits to your project in iMovie after you’ve rendered it, the title bar indicates that your project is out of date and needs to be rendered again. The old versions of the movie are deleted and replaced by new ones when you render it again.
If you want to save the previous version of your movie before you edit it, you can do so by exporting it to the Finder.:
