Apps or programs for burning imovie 10 file to dvd?

I understand that the iMovie no longer has the ability to share to DVD and/or burn to iDVD.  If my macbook didn't come with iDVD what are my options?  What apps or programs are currently being recommended by the apple folks with regards to this issue?

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

    I've been using "Burn" for years and it has been the only DVD burning software I have ever used for the mac. I have never needed to look at other apps. Unless you want something that has more bells and whistles such as Roxio's "Toast" : http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/pro/overview.html
    There are thousands of quality free apps out there for the mac that are not part of the App Store. All you have to do is read reviews online, do a little search, the Apple forums are full of recommendations from experienced users that have been here for years...

  • Rate SONY 820 UL/T DVD burner for burning iMovies-what's better?

    I have an iMac G5 with internal CD burner, but not DVD burner. I do have the iDVD and iMovie software--so I installed this external driver to burn iMovie projects and after hours of messing around with my blessed iMac G5 and mystified SONY support techs finally learned it won't burn iMovie or Quicktime movies with Mac software bundle it comes with (Roxio Toast Lite 6..) Should I send back driver and get something else, or stick with it and upgrade to Toast 7? I am frustrated since the Sony/Mac software bundle leads you to believe you CAN burn your videos.

    Hello Artcart,
    the main difference between iDVD and Toast is, that iDVD is primarily an authoring software (it authors the structure of the DVD with possibility of multiple menus, movies/slideshows) while Toast is a disc burning app ( with the possibility of encoding movies for DVD).
    If you look through the iDVD discussion board you'll find that most users adopt the "divide and conquer" method:
    1. Author the DVD in iDVD because it gives you more choices for menus etc.
    2. Create a disk image (a file that behaves like a DVD, but is stored on your HDD)
    3. Burn the image file to DVD with Toast (more reliable for burning)
    I should be able to select/drag my (NTSC formatted) iMovie project into Toast and the SONY drive will indeed burn a nice DVD for me?
    Absolutely. Toast does the encoding, but offers you only a very simple menu (start-up screen). if that is sufficient for you, you can do without iDVD.
    To add this: I've been using an external LaCie burner for the last 2 years to create DVDs for a living, and have had a very low failure rate .... no worries
    I am not sure what "menu" selection you mean--the "play" title menues offered in iDVD?
    Yep.
    hope this helps

  • How do I burn a .mov file to DVD?

    I need to burn an MPEG-2 video file saved as .mov to a DVD that will play in a regular DVD player.
    I have tried opening iDVD and the selecting 'Create a New Project'. When I have selected a location for the project and the main window opens, I go to File > OneStep DVD from Movie...
    My understanding is that when I import a movie file, it will burn it straight to the disc without any further options. It does this, however after a couple of minutes the DVD is ejected blank and iDVD says the burn has completed.
    How can I solve this problem or is there another way to burn a .mov file to DVD?
    Thanks, Dan

    A green screen in an indication that the movie is in a format not supported by iDVD.   It should be in one of these formats:  DV, high-definition video (HDV), MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-4 SD, MPEG-4 HD, and AVCHD.  (From SDMacUser's post in What input file formats does iDVD...: Apple Support Communities). The post has other requirements that need to be met.
    SD = standard definition.
    Open your movie with QT Player and bring up the Info window for the movie.  It will have the format:
    Another possible reason is the Energy Saving settings on the Mac.  Turn off energy saving and screen saver before starting the save as disk image or burn.
    Other possible fixes can be found in this tipic: Green Screen with audio after Burning: Apple Support Communities

  • Do I need to get a separate program to burn multiples copies of a DVD on Mac?

    Do I need to get a separate program to burn multiples copies of a DVD on Mac, and not have the copies separate into AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS?  I made a series of lesson plans on iMovie.  When it opens on the original disk, it goes right to my music and intro menu.  When I try to burn it to a new DVD, it shows up as AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS.  It does not open at all.  Please advise. 
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Does the disk image that you created from the previously burned iDVD project look like this?
    If so you don't copy any part of it to a blank DVD.  You open Disk Utility and select it like I do in this screenshot:
    insert a blank DVD and click on the Burn button. 

  • Is there a firmware update for burning at 16x with Matshita DVD-R UJ 845E?

    Is there a firmware update for burning at 16x with Matshita DVD-R UJ 845E? I'm trying to burn a DVD using iDVD on my iBook. The blank DVD's are Memorex 16x (I've used Memorex 8x successfully in the past), the DVD drive is specified above. The finder tells me that the drive has reported an error "sense key=medium error/ sense code=0x73, 0x03" I couldn't find firmware updates in either Panasonic Matshita or Apple websites. Am I forever confined to 8x DVD-R's with this laptop?
    ibook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  
    ibook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    First, welcome to the discussions.
    Sorry, No Firmware update to allow you to burn at 16X.
    The drive you have is only capable of burning at 8X.
    You will also find that for the most part when you recieve errors that it is more often than not attributed to MEDIA.
    There are so many problems with the cheaper media they are to numerous to cover.
    DVD is not at all like CD burning, in that the technology as well as the Optical Drives used, seem to be touchy, and require the use of good Media. This will allow you trouble free burning without errors.
    http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
    You will also find that the reason that DVD-R Media works the best, is because it is the most wirely used and recognised in both Computers and Players.
    If I may suggest. There are several 16X DVD's on the market.
    Take your time and look at the back of the Jewel Cases and read. You will see that the better Media will tell you that it will burn at 1X through and including 16X, if your drive is capable of handleing these speeds. I prefer Maxell 16X DVD-R Media in the individual Jewel Cases. This Media burns at the slower speeds on the older Superdrives that will only burn at 1X or 2X.
    Like many others I have learned my lessons the hard way.
    Cheers Don

  • Best app or program for backing up everything on iPhone

    I have just put iOS4 on my 3G and yes I lost all my contacts my calendar reminders,my notes,my book marks and some pics.Does anyone know what the best app or program is for backing up everything from my iPhone
    Contacts,Calendar,Notes,Bookmarks,Pictures,Sms and anything else I've forgoten.
    I've heard of Touch copy which can do all is there a better one about?

    If you still have the backup file, a program like this might let you pull the data:
    http://homepage.mac.com/vaughn/msync/
    I use PhoneView which is Mac-only, but TouchCopy is frequently recommended here and I've not seen bad comments about it.
    As Justin said, regular syncing is the best backup. To protect myself beyond that:
    I always manually move my backup file so that iTunes does not overwrite it with a new one, allowing me to roll back.
    Before major syncing activities (such as setting up a new phone) I generally export an archive from my calendar and address book apps, or duplicate the database, so that if it all goes wrong I can roll back to those--I would expect Outlook has a similar feature.

  • Burning Mpegs & AVI Files to DVD

    I have some mpegs and an avi file I'd like to burn to DVD. I am using Toast 7 Titanium to burn them to DVD.
    When I go to burn the files to DVD, I get a warning message that says "You are about to create a disc with mixed PAL and NTSC content. Are you sure you want to do this? (Discs with mixed content may not play on all players.)". When I click OK, Toast enventually crashes while encoding the files.
    I have tried running the files through DivX, but ended up with poor quality files with no sound. Do I need to do a conversion prior to burning? Should I tried try another application to burn my DVD? Any input would be helpful.
    Thanks, Aaryn

    Toast will certainly do it and other options include ffmpegx and MPEG2 Works 4, though that is a commercial app and you'll also need to pay for the QuickTime MPEG-2 Component from Apple.
    ffmpegx allows more configurability but is also, therefore, a little more complicated. In my experience the greatest problem you're likely to face is losing sync between the audio and video, though this is correctable with ffmpegx, if a little convoluted.

  • Want to burn iMovie to external LaCie DVD+RW

    there must be a better way! no super drive but yes toast 6 titanium----Will toast compress or even handle a 12 gig iMovie and create a DVD? And why won't toast except ALL the files in iMovie. AND, is there a way to burn iDVD to my LaCie external? If so how do I save the iDVD file and export it to toast? iDVD seems to want to freez up when finished with the making of the DVD and there's no 'save as' in the menu and so on....
    Is there a way to compress iMovie? (quick time?)
    thanks

    there's no 'save as' in the menu and so on....
    There is "Save as Disk Image" in the iDVD file menu. This will make a disk image that you can burn with Toast 6.
    iDVD seems to want to freez up when finished with the making of the DVD
    Is this during audio encoding? If so be patient and wait wait wait wait for iDVD to finish.

  • How do I burn an mp4 file to DVD?

    Do I need a program such as Toast or QuickTime Pro to burn an mp4 file to a DVD, or is it possible to use iDVD or disk utility?
    Thanks.

    Bearsfan, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Are you trying to burn it to the DVD so it is just a file on the DVD? If so you can use the Finder or Toast.
    OR are you trying to create a standard video DVD capable of playing in any commercial video DVD player? If so, have you tried launching iDVD and then dropping the mp4 into the movie area? If that doesn't work, have you tried launching iMovie and dropping the mp4 into it?

  • Convert & burn .avi & .wmv files to DVD?

    As a relative Mac newbie, I would like to know how to convert .avi & .wmv files that are on my hard drive to DVD-burnable format. I generally use Toast Titanium 6.0.7 for all disc burning. An acquaintance suggested that I use iMovie for this purpose, but -- excuse my ignorance -- how exactly and in a simple way do I do it (go from having .avi and/or .wmv files on my hard drive to being able to actually and successfully burn them to DVD)?
    Trying to add the files to Toast's "DVD Video" pre-DVD-burn setting just brings up black screen stills to represent the file, leading me to believe there is a problem, because other video files I've burned in the past have loaded into Toast with a video still frame grab before burning.
    Windows seems to be able to perform this function easily, but could anyone help with simple, direct info on how to do it with Mac Tiger?..
    Is this all a codec issue? If so, why should it be (on an otherwise tech-savvy and adaptable Apple OS) and how do I rectify it in a straightforward and simple manner?
    I should add that I can view .avi files on my Mac by using VLC Media Player, and the .wmv files by using Windows Media Player for Mac, but I want to be able to convert these files to DVD-burnable format, so I can view them on a television set-top DVD player...
    Thanks in advance for any assistance!

    Here's a couple more suggestions that I use .Not so elegent but they work.
    1. I use a VGA to TV converter box which plugs in to the VGA connection on the computer & gives S video or composite out & then plugin to the dv in from the camera. Then import to imovie for any editing & then burn away !Quick & dirty & it works eveytime. Of course you must have a vga connection at the back of your computer.
    2. On the PC side I use Cyberlink Power Director. This accepts .wmv files & will convert to other formats & also send to mini dv camera tape if I want to burn to standalone DVD burner.

  • Program for burning bootable disk

    ive combined my windows xp disk with sp2 in order to install it on a partition of my mac hd. i found a tutorial for integrating the two, but now i need to find a program that can burn a bootable disk. i had a licensed nero before, but i accidently deleted it while clearing hd space and i have no idea where the key code is. does anyone know a good free program?

    I believe you should be able to do it with Disk Utility. Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility.
    Insert a blank disc.
    Start Disk Utility.
    From the File menu, choose Open Disk Image and select the ISO to be burned.
    In the list of volumes, you will now see an item representing the ISO file. Select it.
    Click the Burn button and follow the instructions.
