Burn an imovie dvd

I am trying to burn a DVD but i do not have the idvd option. What now?

I take it that you purchased your Mac within the last year and it came preinstalled with either Lion or Mt. Lion, correct? In that case it won't have iDVD since it was discontinued along with iWeb by Apple over a year age.
In order to to get iDVD you will need to purchase a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com. Why 09 and not 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

I have created several short (3-5 minute) movies using iMovie 10.0.6 and Yosemite. I want to create one movie that includes these short movies that I can then either burn to a DVD or show in iMovie's Theater. How can I do it?

I have created several short (3-5 minute) movies using iMovie 10.0.6 and Yosemite. I want to combine those short movies into one movie that I can loop and burn on a DVD or show in iMovie Theater. How can I do it? The movies are now shared to iTunes.

Another easy way to fix this.
What I've noticed is that upon upgrading your projects and events to work with iMovie 10, initially it will work... Until you quit iMovie and reopen it again. Any events with hashtags will show up without the star next to the iMovie event. SO, if you happen to read this, after upgrading to iMovie 10 from its predecessor, immediately change the event name to NOT include a hashtag/pound symbol.
Otherwise, if it's too late, you can either do the above or this...
Hold down option and click on iMovie. This will prompt you Locate, Create a New Library, Cancel this window, or Choose a different library. What you want to do is create a new library, call it whatever you want to, this will only be temporary. After the program opens, it should be a blank Library. Then go to File > Open Library > iMovie Library (your original library) and proceed to change the name of your events. Quit the program. Go into your Movies folder in Finder, delete the library you temporarily created, and your back in business.

How do I burn an IMovie to a DVD?

Hello all. Happy holidays. I have a bit of a problem that has been nagging me for a few days now. I just completed a twenty five minute I-Movie for my wife, and would like to surprise her with a DVD for Christmas. However, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to burn the movie onto a DVD. I have a one month old MacBook computer (10.5.1), with a new Leopard program. I can see that you can burn a DVD when making a video on IDVD, but what about IMovie? A few online sites mentioned the preferences and/or sharing section. But there is nothing about burning to a DVD here. Is there anyone with an idea on how to do it? Thanks a bunch- hope I can get it done before next Tuesday.
Thanks all,
John :o)

Happy New Year!
I've had the most happiness and joy in my life using Roxio's Toast Titanium 8. You can go to their website and buy it via download, or pick it up at CompUSA or some such place that sells Mac software. Should sell for about $80. It's simple: you open Toast, select "DVD" on the left so you're telling it what kind of disc you'll be burning. Then open the folder on your Mac that contains the iMovie file you've made, and drag the file into the big window (it's REALLY clearly labeled!). Put a disc in, click record, and voila! - you're done as fast as your machine can burn. Hasn't failed me yet, and if you happen to have two burners (I added an external one) you can make copies of that first one so fast it'll make your head spin. Have fun, and Happy New Year!

Getting extra scenes when burning from imovie to dvd using idvd.

I edited a movie using imovie and got it n the sequence I want. Then I burned it to dvd using idvd. However, when I view the dvd, it starts midway through the video, goes to the end, then starts over and shows me the whole video.
The problem is, I don't see the extra part that shows in the beginnning on the dvd on imovie. How do I get rid of that extra stuff if I can't see it on imovie?

I have had the same problem. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple Support and they were absolutely no help at all. They told me to buy Final Cut Pro. The only thing I found that helped was to export the movie using Quick Time as HD as possible (which takes a long time) and then use that in iDVD, so that the version I have for viewing on a TV or whatever doesn't look cheap and lo-res. My old iMac and iMovie 4 was slow, but the quality was much better on finished DVD products of movies or slideshows. It *****.

I just want to burn my imovie project to a dvd. I have a macbook pro with retina display, the most recent update of imovie and mountain lion.

I can't seem to figure out how to burn my imovie to a dvd. I have an external optical superdrive and blank dvds. Is there a way to do it without downloading lots of other apps/software? I bought a macbook instead of pc because I wanted the video/photo editing, I'll be disappointed if there isn't a convinent way to turn them into a hard copy dvd to share with family and friends.

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?

I need assistance in burning an imovie to a DVD. I've done this before, but am having problems this go around. When I get to the import section and insert the blank dvd it runs a few seconds and ejects it. Any ideas?

I am struggling with getting the imovie I just created to burn onto a DVD. I have done this before, I'm following the tutorial for imovie '09 and it isn't working after several attempts. Any suggestions? When I get to the import phase and insert the blank dvd it runs a few seconds and then spits it out.

I bought a 47LA6200 TV and a BP530 blue ray player. I have my cable box hooked up to HDMI 1, I have my blue ray hooked up to HDMI 2, and my XBox 360 to HDMI 3. I have my cable box hooked up to my older JVC RX880V stereo digital optical to digital optical without any 5.1 problems at all.
My TV digital optical out is hooked up to my stereo digital optical port 2 without any 5.1 problems either, sort of.
My BP530 is hooked up to my stereo digital coax to digital coax but I cannot get any 5.1 sound at all. Not through any of the digital channels on the stereo at all.
The player only comes through as standard stereo through all 4 speakers and I am not sure if it is coming through the base speaker at all.
I have tried every setting on both the TV and the blue ray player to no avail. I have even tried to not use the digital on my blue ray but when the stereo is set to play from my tv optical I still don't get 5.1 sound.
When I do not use the TV optical out but I do use the digital coax out from the DVD player I still cannot play my DVDs in 5.1. I have new HDMI 15gbps HDMI cables and a new digital coaxial cable so I don't think it is a cable thing.
The real question is how do I get to hear my blue ray and DVD discs in 5.1 sound? Will this work if I exchange my blue ray player for a Denon 3D blue ray or other player?

Hi
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

How to I burn an imovie for playback on DVD?

I'm brand new to MacBook and imovie. I created a movie burned it a DVD, but it won't play on my DVD player. What is the correct process for burning an imovie project for playback on DVD player?

If you like to make DVDs, give iMovie 06 a try.
I use both iMovie 08 and iMovie 06, if I want to make a DVD I prefer iMovie 06. iMovie 08 is not as DVD friendly as iMovie 06.
iMovie 08 has replaced "Share to iDVD" with "Share to media browser". Also iMovie 08 cannot set chapter markers, this has to be done with another program.
When using iMovie 06, one mouse click will set a chapter marker EXACTLY where you specify. In just a few seconds set all your chapter markers. When you are done editing just "share to iDVD 08" and all of your chapter markers will be there!
iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 is a terrific combination.
Apple includes iMovie 06 as a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)

On my Mac, I am working with IMovie and trying to burn to a dvd and get error message 2135? Never got this before. What is it? Thanks

Using IMovie, I get error 2135 when trying to burn to a DVD. Actually, it is during the preparation stage. Never got this before Whats the problem? Thanks

Hi
You must tell more
• Error 2125 - I recognize - but -2135 is new to me
The other is in regard to Movie Length in TIME + MENU time - as this is the limiting factor in iDVD (not GBs or other just time)
a. How many movies
b. duration of each movie
c. Menu selected
d. Is MENU still and silent - or animating and with audio (Takes lot's of the movie time)
e. Encoding quality selected in iDVD
f. HOW did You go from iMovie to iDVD
g. What version of iMovie and iDVD are You using
h. FREE Space on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - HOW MUCH
As You see there are lot's of info needed to be of any relevant help
iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
About double on DL DVDs.
Yours Bengt W

Burn multiple imovie projects to one dvd with menu

How do i burn multiple Imovie projects to one dvd with roxio toast 10? Can i add all of the projects or do i need to export them as a quicktime movie first or something?

You can share the first movie from iMovie, but all the others will need to be exported from iMovie as movies and dragged into the iMovie project.

?? burn multiple iMovie movies onto one dvd with iDVD

I understand how to burn a single iMovie project onto a dvd by using the share menu to share with iDVD. But how can i burn multiple iMovie projects with iDVD onto one disc??

You can share the first movie from iMovie, but all the others will need to be exported from iMovie as movies and dragged into the iMovie project.

Everytime I try to burn an iMovie project to a DVD with iDVD, the disc is ejected during the Burning and Multiplexing phase before it's completed.

For months I have been unable to burn any iMovie project to a DVD using iDVD. During the Burning and Multiplexing phase the disc is ejected before it's complete. I went the Genius Bar and after many tests I was told that my disc drive was pretty much dead. The person that helped recommended that I buy an external DVD burner from amazon. I bought the new drive and I can now burn files, but I'm still encountering the same issue burning a movie. Does anyone have any idea what'g going on? I'm extremely frustrated at this point!

Read this treatise on Multiplexing by Bengt Wärleby: HT1645 I was burning a DVD and the...: Apple Support Communities.
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
