Burning DVD without iDVD

Is there a way to burn a DVD that will play in a DVD player without using iDVD? probably pretty simple, but I have no idea! Thanks for any help!

I found a program called Burn. Its free and works perfectly you can burn almost any kind of disc you can think of: Data, Audio, SVCD, VCD, DVD, DivX, or you can copy either a Disc or a Disc Image.

  • Burn a DVD without IDVD

    how do I burn a DVD without idvd?

    There really isn't a 3rd party DVD authoring application for Macs that can hold a candle to iDVD.  You can purchase iDVD (and the discontinued iWeb) by purchasing a copy of the boxed iLife 11 disk from one of the 3rd party retailers like Amazon.com: iLife 11. It's well worth the price IMO.

  • I was having problems burning DVDs' fro iDVD and it turned out my burner is at fault I have a 27 inch iMac using a OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H. Where can I buy a replacement in UK?

    I was having problems burning DVDs' from iDVD and it turned out my burner is at fault.
    I have a 27 inch iMac using a OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H. Where can I buy a replacement in UK? I have seen these with SATA is this the correct cable for my mac?
    I have also tried the Mac superdrive but my imac wont recognise it as it's been configured for macbook air and mini mac. I know I can "make" it work by doing something or other in com.apple/plist, but dont want to mess about in there.
    I'm also told an external drive would work but does "mac compatible" mean only for air and mini as their own superdrive is or all macs?
    Any help appreciated before I convince myself mac is no better than windows pc!

    Thanks but this didn't really help.
    I can buy the drives at a dozen places but none of them seem to know what connection is correct (SATA etc) and that includes the apple store. It was the store who told me buy the superdrive and all my problems would be over. Wrong! It isn't recognised by imac as it's confifured for air and mini mac. Only way to make it work is as i said in earlier post. (Would you be happy buying a car you were told would start and then discover you have to open the bottome and fiddle to make it go?)
    The apple store I would not even consider taking it to. Days without the pc, over priced and don't have a good reputation for actually fixing things!
    But thanks

  • Is it possible at all to burn dvd in iDvd '08 ??

    My poor macbook was working like 2 days trying to burn dvd from iDvd '08 a project made in iMovie '08 that I've modified in iMovie HD. Project for 48 minutes, dvd dual layer 8.5 Gb, I have 9 GB free space, 120 Gb at all and 1.5 Gb of memory. It's burning about 3 hours than say: "Multiplexing and burning. Done.Time remaining: 0 minutes." And freeze !! I left for a few hours this process . And nothing. Like this 4 times already.
    I didn't use any application during burning, neither keyboard.
    Is there solution? Thanks.

    As Len stated, using DL is pointless in your own situation. Stay with SL as well as using either Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R while troubleshooting on this forum for best results. Hope this helps and good luck.

  • I just finished creating a movie in IMovie and now want to burn it to a DVD and make it loop.  Since I just purchased this IMac it no longer comes with IDVD.  My question is how to burn and loop a dvd without IDVD.  Thanks for any help.

    I just finished creating a movie using IMovie and want to burn it to a DVD and loop it.  Since I just purchased this mac it looks like they no longer include IDVD.  Is there something out there to help me do this.  I am new to MAC and any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

    There is free open source software called Burn that will burn DVDs. Here is a link.
    If you wish to pay for software, there are many, including TOAST TITANIUM from Roxio. Apple's retail copy of iLife 11, and Apple's Compressor.
    Of these, I would say that iDVD is known for being able to create very professional looking DVDs with intros, menus, lots of interesting templates.
    Toast is much simpler and the menus and templates are more plain.
    Compressor is a professional tool that does a lot more than make DVDs. Don't expect much in the way of menus or templates.
    Burn, I have never tried, since I have iDVD and Toast for those ocasions when I need to burn a DVD. However, since it is free, I think it is worth a try.
    Each software package is a little different, but in general, in iMovie, you can use the SHARE menu to SHARE/MOVIE in Large size. Save the movie to your desktop or someplace you can easily find it. Then drag it into the tool of your choice. You can alsouse SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER/LARGE if you have iDVD or Toast.

  • Cannot burn dvd without theme

    I cannot do what would seem to be the simplest step in imovie and idvd. I have created my customize movie in imovie (no canned themes or audio) and when I go to the shre menu and choose idvd so I can burn my movie, I cannot burn a dvd without first choosing a theme. I don't need a theme...I wnat my movie just the way it is. Please help. This is so frustrating.

    Why...? You accomplished what you wanted to do. It just took you some time to find that.

  • Burning DVD Without Themes and Chapters

    I have an iMovie from my own video that I have edited just the way I want it. It has a title and will be about an hour long when burned. I just want to burn it to a DVD for TV viewing WITHOUT any theme or chapter stuff. iDVD won't seem to let me do that and has already screwed me up twice in the process. How can I bypass that theme and chapter stuff and just burn my DVD? I would like the instant play feature on the disc when it is done.
    I have iMovie 6 and a MacBook.
    Thanks for any help,

    Hello videolou,
    here's how to create a DVD without menu (there are several options):
    1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
    2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme"by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
    3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
    Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
    3. Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just un-check the appropriate check box. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software
    4. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
    Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
    • create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
    • Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
    • Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
    • Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
    • Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
    • Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
    • Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:

  • How to burn DVDs without the graphics?

    I'm trying to burn a DVD for a client, with only the video piece on the DVD. However, the iDVD keeps putting up the graphics/themes/whichever you call them, and I can't get them off. I've tried autoplay, deleting the graphics - nothing works! I don't want to lose a paycheck over this, so can someone help me?
    Thanks

    Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results.  That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option.  Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
    Hope this helps!

  • Burn DVD without breaks/chapters

    Hi,
    I am burning a friends wedding video for him but for some reason when I do this through iMovie '09 the finished DVD is in chapters based (I think) on however many times the camcorder was set to record and recording paused?
    Understandably this is resulting in a lot of chapters.
    How can I burn it without any breaks, just as one merged file?
    Ali.

    Hi
    I think this is a missunderstanding.
    When pausing a Camera - result is several video-clips (no chapter)
    When wanting Chapters - one put in a special Chapter-mark in the Video Project.
    (Can't be set or used in Event's window)
    So If You build a movie in Project window and don't add any Chapter Marks - then Your
    movie when exported/shared to iDVD will be one cont. movie without any Chapter Marks.
    Reg Chapter Marks
    • Do not set ANY AT VERY BEGINNING - This confuses iDVD though it want to set this by it self
    • DO not set any Chapter Marks in or Within 2 sec of any transition in Your movie
    (Yes there are ways around this - First Export Your Movie as full Quality QuickTime.
    Then Re-import this into a NEW project. Now all transitions are glued in so You are
    free to set Chapters wherever You want except in very beginning)
    • When movie is done and You get started in iDVD - DO NOT Return to iMovie to correct
    anything - this will result in a well known BUG. Start a new iDVD project instead after correction.

  • IMovie burn DVD without using "SHARE"

    I have a G4 Combo drive powerbook with iMovie but not iDVD or an internal DVD burner. What will I need to burn my movie without this hardware and software? I do not want to use a compressed file like QuickTime.
    Thanks.
    sound guy

    what Brie meant:
    to burn a DVD, you need a DVDburner, a combo drive can NOT burn DVDs, just CDs... that is a hardware issue...
    you can use 3rd party tools as Toast to create a socalled SVCD from your iM projects; SVCD is an old standard, using a similiar codec as DVDs burned on CD-rs, the quality is acceptable, better then VHS, but far from DVD; ~40min fit on a disk, most/all DVDstandalones accepts SVCD...
    will I need iDVD to save the movie to a specific file type that Toast could see a burn to disc?
    ..ehm, wot?
    iDVD is an authoring, encoding AND burning app, normally, no need to "iDVD-ing" then "Toast-ing"... in iDVD, you're allowed to create a socalled disk image (=file), which can be later been burned with e.g. Toast....
    or...
    you can drag'n drop iM project into Toast directly to create a videoDVD; but you loose all nice feature iDVD has to offer (individual menus, chapters set in iM etc)
    did I understand your Q correctly? (sorry, me alien, me no good english)
    helpful?

  • What does error message when trying to burn DVD from iDVD mean "not enough disk space to burn the remaining assets"

    I created a DVD in idvd and now when trying to burn to DVD using external burner, I get the error message
    "not enough disk space to encode the remaining assets". I am using a brand new blank DVD.
    I have read the help info on computer but hasnt proved helpful.
    Any suggestions?

    iDVD requires a fair amount of disk space to carry out the encoding process; depending on your project, you may need to have over 25 GB free space on your startup hard drive.  How much free space do you have?

  • Multiplexer error message when trying to burn DVD in iDVD

    When I try to burn a DVD in iDVD, at the end of the burning process, I get a message that reads "Multiplexer Error" "There was an error during formatting".
    Can anyone out there give me advice on how to remedy this?
    Thanks!

    When iDVD isn't functioning correctly, a basic maintenance procedure to try is:
    1) Closing iDVD and trashing the file com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User/Library/Preferences.
    2) Doing a permissions repair using the Disk Utilities app on your Mac.
    Instead of burning directly from iDVD, try saving as a disk image (an option in the iDVD File menu). This will take a while as the encoding is redone. If you get a successful disk image, open it in your DVD Player app to check it out. If all O.K. burn it at a burn speed of 4x or less with Disk Utility to a DVD-R disk of good quality, like Verbatim or HP. On my computer, Disk Utility defaults to 4x burn speed, which is good.
    See if any of the above helps.

  • Burn DVD in iDVD.  Need help please.

    I've tried transfering or publishing my video from imove to idvd in order to burn onto disc.  However, the disc burn "circle" won't allow me.  I looked at older posts and unfortunately I'm not finding them helpful.  Can someone assist me please?
    Thank you!

    Hi
    You need to tell much more to set us on track.
    Movie from where and in what Video Codec
    Imported into iDVD - How ?
    Most common situation:
    • If You made Your movie in iMovie'11
    • Select it
    • Share to Media Browser - AND AS LARGE or MEDIUM (HD and other resolutions will decrease the final DVD quality)
    • in iDVD (You are sure You got it - as it's not delivered on NEW Macs any more)
    • Import movie from Media Button (doen to the Right) and here from Movies
    DO Not forget to set down BURN SPEED to x2 or x4 - to get best possibly DVD (in iDVD pref/Advance bottom - BEST is NOT BEST !)
    • I use Verbatim
    • I use DVD-R (as they play on older DVD-players too)

  • HT1095 burn my movie to DVD without iDVD

    How do I burn my movie to DVD? I bought a Macpro last November and there's no iDVD.

    Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD.   I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, and others.  None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie.
    With iDVD you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.
    IDVD is easy to get. It is available on disk as part of iLife 11.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.
