Burning DVDs off of iMovie ver. 2

Hey all. I have a Mac G4 with os 9.1. I am trying to burn video dvds off of iMovie v.2.0.3. Have created the project, but can't get my Lacie firewire DVD burner to find and burn the project.
I exported the project to Quicktime, and can view it there, but I have been unable to get my Lacie drive to recognize the project and burn the DVD. I can burn data DVDs, but not videos. I also cannot find a format through which I can put the project on media and open on my Windows computer to burn the discs.
Is there any way to get my project onto a DVD? Answers?

Hello, see if Burn.app helps...

Importing burned dvd movies into Imovie

I'm trying to put some of my home videos that are on DVD onto my iMovie but when I put the dvd in, it plays the dvd but the file has a red negative sign at the bottom right hand corner and when I open the file there is nothing in it, so I can't import it

How to burn DVD disc of iMovie playable on Blueray

For years I have been easily creating movies with my vacation photos, adding effects, music, transitions and titles, etc. on my PC using Windows software and then burning the movie to a blank DVD+R disc which has always been playable on every DVD and Blue Ray player that I have tried (mine is a Panasonic model BD35). I have recently made a transition to a Mac (the one with 27" screen and Yosemite system) and have learned how to use iMovie and, after much trial and error, have used free software, called "burn" to make a DVD that only plays on an older LG DVD player (model LDA 830) - however, the disc is "unsupportable " on my Blue Ray player (I also used a trial version of "Aimer", with the same result). After spending several hours with an Apple support expert in their iMovie Department, I tried a slightly different method (that he had discovered from a customer with the same issue) using only the Apple DVD/CD external burner and whatever system it has for burning discs. For me, this effort resulted in a disc that is "unsupported" on my BlueRay player and "error" on my DVD player. The Apple expert suggested getting Apple TV - yeah, buy more Apple stuff and that solves everything! This issue has been a popular one with Apple computers and so I am amazed that it has not found an elegant solution by now. This should not require an Einstein to achieve the result desired by many customers (as opposed to whatever result Apple is aiming at), but maybe there is one out there who can also communicate the solution in easy to understand steps? Help, please?!?

I am beginning to think that I should have stuck to user-friendly Windows.
As Barney-15E noted, you can still purchase and use the boxed versions of iLife with Yosemite. Pretty cheap at only $30 - $35. It has iMovie to create your video sequence, and iDVD to author the disks from what you build in iMovie.
Ruthless people with cold blood coursing through their veins run Apple - probably descendants of the fictional Mr. Potter from "It's a Wonderful Life"! Ahhhh.. There, that feels better.
I like it!
Unfortunately, the reality is DVD and Blu-ray is heading the way of floppy disks. Here's an interesting headline I ran across today. No Surprise: DVD Sales Plunged Over 40 Percent Last Year. Thing is, that statement was from 2011, marking a 40% drop from 2010 with sales of 47 billion. Sound like a lot? Not compared to how far the medium has fallen in just three more years. Only 12.2 billion in 2014.
Apple completely dropped DVD Studio Pro, and Apple isn't the only one to blame. Adobe also dropped all further development of Encore, it's DVD and Blu-ray authoring app. CS6 was the last version of that we'll ever see. You can still get it if you have the CC subscription. You choose to install an older version of Premiere Pro. It then installs Premiere Pro CS6 and Encore CS6. You then uninstall Premiere Pro CS6 since you don't need it; you already have Premiere Pro CC.
The mistake the industry is making is that not everyone in the world has access to high speed Internet. Sure, I can "purchase" my movies from Amazon and other online sources, but I can only watch my purchased movies or shows if a) I have Internet access, and b) it's fast enough where I am at the time to stream it. There is no such problem with disks. Take them with you and watch them anywhere. The only fault they have is either losing the disk, or damaging it.

What is the best program to use to burn dvd's from iMovie? I guess with ilife, idvd doesn't come with it anymore...

Please recommend a good program to use. I just want to be able to put my movies from imovie to dvd for my family to watch on regular dvd player. I have been exporting it out to my home computer and burning with adobe premerie but gettings sick of having to use two computers. Thanks for any info you can provide.

So is there no app on my Macbook Pro Retina with Mountain Lion that I can use to put IMovies on a disk??????
Right.
Seems really strange.
Yes, very.
And IMovie 11 ( I assume it's the latest) has a menu item that says Share to IDVD. If they don't sell it anymore, why is it there?
It's there if you buy iDVD, you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

PUTTING MY BURNED DVD BACK ON IMOVIE

I have made many dvd's and moved the movies to trash after burning. Can I import them back to Imovie or Idvd

Yikes, the DVD compressed it a lot and lost most of the original resolution. Even if you could , it would look pretty bad and it would be a single file not the iMovie peices style.

Can't burn dvd from my imovie

I made an imovie from my vacation. Then on my one to one lessons, they told me to share-media browser. I did that. It took hours. Then I put the movie in the themes and was told to just burn it. I told them twice that when it starts to burn, it stops when it comes to the slideshow button and it says there is an error. I did insert photos in my movie. I am wondering if I'm supposed to do something to my movie before I share it. The last helper told me that it would burn and the slideshow thing wouldn't happen. But it did. Help!

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.
I used all of them and they all work
• Burn - is very simple but if the Movie is the most important part it can do the job
• Roxio Toast™ - fairly OK and can do other trixs
• iDVD - the best program in competiotion to iMovie HD6 that Apple ever made. Just a few bug's and if they'd been corrected - Excellent. But they never be so.
• DVD-Studio Pro - Yes and it takes a PRO time to learn too - still if learned the top of the cake.

You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

yes it does - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC623Z/A/iLife-11
iWeb and iDVD
iLife ’11 also includes iWeb and iDVD for creating instant websites and burning your own DVDs.
Note: iDVD and iWeb are included in the iLife '11 single-user and family pack box, but they are not included on new Mac computers.
What's in the Box

Burn DVD off digital cable box?

I tried searching this topic a number of ways so I apologize if this is repetitious, the ones I found just didn't seem to be relevant.
I was just wondering if I could burn a dvd on my mac from a digital cable box?
The box is a Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300 (Time Warner) and I just noticed it has a USB connection on the front. If I played the recorded program in real time could the mac just burn as it's shown, or does it need to be a file that is download and burned? I would have no idea how to do this.
It's a local public access program so I don't think it would be pirating the show illegally.
Thanks!

I don't know how you could stream the signal from the cable box directly to the DVD. Take a look at products from Elgato, as they would enable what you want to do, and that may give you an idea what your options are. http://www.elgato.com

Need app for burning DVD on new iMac using iMovie

I have a new 64 bit iMac with optional external DVD drive. I want to burn DVDs with the iMovie projects that recognize the chapters I entered in the new iMovie. Basically, I want to do what I used to do on my old 32 bit iMac with the internal drive using the combination of iDVD and iMovie.

mChapters available from the App Store, will add chapters to the output file from iMovie. In the Finder, you may have to change the move file's extension from "mp4" to "m4v" as older Quicktime applications and perhaps some newer DVD creators may not recognize a chapter track in an mp4 container.
In any event, the mChapters application will allow you to visually add chapters and name them as you like. You can save the file in-place (i.e. you do not have to create a new output file--just save to the existing movie file) which is quick. It is irritating that iMovie no longer has chapter markers, but this little application does not add much time to the move creation process.
BTW, I have nothing to do with mChapters. I tried several applications, free and otherwise, until I settled on this one for my needs.

Can anyone recommend an application to burn DVDs from iMovie, I have a MacPro.

I am looking for a reliable application to burn DVD's from iMovie, apple used to have iDVD but I can't find it on their website, any response will be greatly appreciated, Thank you!

You can still buy iLife DVDs and install (then update, then update...) iDVD. iDVD still works with Mavericks.

New mac mini - cannot burn dvd

I have recently purchased a mac mini. I already had an external dvd burner, but I can't burn dvd projects from iMovie since no idvd is on the mac. HELP!

Tbirdvet, thanks for the suggestion. That is what I planned to do today unless someone can suggest another idea. I can always use a usb extended Mac keyboard anyway. And a mouse is certainly cheap enough.

Make DVD out of iMovies project

Dear All,
I am not used to write item in the support communities because I usually find the correct way to use my mac mini and it works.
But sometimes I am somehow upset & angry about mac world.
I have a mac mini server 2011 (OS lion) with i7 dual core processor, 2.7GHz, 8Gb RAM, 2HD of 500 Go (where 300Go is freespave on each HD).
I imported for the first time video from my sony DR-PC350E (mini DV tape) to iMovies and enjoy making a project of about 1h20mn duration.
-> Now I am just looking at the way to burn this project on a dvd to share it with friends on my TV.
I tried the following commands:
1. finalize the project -> it did fail after 5 hours time with "Error 108".
2. export the project to Quicktime -> it did fail after 2 hours time with "Error 108".
3. export the project to Quicktime by selecting as target my second HD-> it did fail after 2 hours time with "Error 108".
4. export the project to iDVD -> it did not fail but send me ask me after 2 hours where is iDVD application located. And I realized then that iDVD is not installed on my mac mini!
Now i am wondering:
- why is iDVD not installed when I got with OS lion iPhoto, iMovies, Garageband etc....?
As far I see on internet, iDVD is somehow not supported anymore by apple but then why do they keep this option "export to iDVD" in iMovies ???
- why do I get this "error 108". As far I see on internet, this would be about space requirement or RAM requirement. This is a joke...8 Gb RAM should be more than enough.
I did not find any clear answer regarding this "error 108" on forums and also the status of iDVD application looks quite unclear to me.
After coming back home this evening, I may try the following:
- I just read on the net I should somehow try "export to media" and then get my movies on my HD.
Then by opening a DVD burner application (DVD creator for instance), I should then be able to create by DVD finally.
- Also I may try the cut my project of 1h20mn in about 10 projects of 8 min (I have about 10 chapters...).
If anyone has feedbacks or suggestions.....

Hi
There are much to this and I can only give a few suggestions at a time.
I imported for the first time video from my sony DR-PC350E (mini DV tape) to iMovies and enjoy making a project of about 1h20mn duration.
If You want max quality - then iMovie'08 to 11 are not the tool of choice as they all are unable to Export interlaced SD-video to any DVD en-coding program - but discard every second line resulting in less quality. I use:
• iMovie HD6 - or
• FinalCut Express or Pro
• FinalCut Pro-X is said to be able to deliver 100% too - AND it can burn DVDs !
If iMovie'08 - 11 is a must then I do
• Share to Medioa Briwser - and as Large (Not HD or other resolutions as this too degrades the result)
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

• 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

AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.
Duration:
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.

How can I convert my imovie from ipad to burn dvd on PC

I have produced a 30 minute video for my son's football team using Imovie on my ipad. I do not have an apple computer and need to convert the imovie to my PC in order to burn DVD's. This process seems impossible. I have read many forums and am trying to export the project to my camera roll, however the process never completes itself. It will export for literally hours without completing the process. This project have taken me weeks to complete, mainly because the process is very slow with imovie and extremely frustating. Now, I'm ready to finish up and am so worried I will never get it off my ipad. What do I do??

NO files larger that 500mb (which is **** near any video) will not transfer!
At: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
It incorrectly state this:
"Windows XP cannot import video files larger than 500 MB using Camera and Scanner Wizard. You can transfer these files directly from your device by selecting them in My Computer and dragging or copying the movie files to your computer's hard drive."
Problem is that NO videos are shown as I open my ipad up in "My Computer", only photographs I have taken
THIS INSANE. You put Hign Def Video camera on the IPAD and NO simple way to get the you home made videos of it? Search this topic "transfer video from ipad to computer" you get NO help. the only responses are from people hocking there "computer programs that will do it" or "apps" that transfer files.
Apple here is the reality. At this point, regarding computers, PC is King...get it? We do not all have apple computers to go along with our ipads. ... So incase i need to break it down for you....YOU NEED TO HAVE A EASY WAY TO REMOVE VIDEOS FROM AN IPAD TO A FREAKIN PC...
I am not sure what is most amazing:
-ipad designers not seeing this as a problem
-the lies at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 that discuss easy it is to simply open up "my computer" and drag an drop
-ignorant people responding to several other people with my same simple problem with stupid response like "so you want to put a video on your ipad, you do that thru itunes" or "gosh it's been a while since i did this but its real easy, i think..."
There are not even any you tube videos on the subject... Am I in Bizzaro World here????
