How can I burn a DVD from iMovie '11?

I just discovered that iDVD does not come with iLife '11 as part of the 10.7 OS. The option to "share" as a DVD is still part of iMovie 9.0.4, but the process never completes because iDVD is not there. Is there a work around? Apple suggested using third-party software, but I don't know which software would work with iMovie. Since I work for a school district, this issue is likely to come up again at many school sites using 10.7, so I appreciate any advice you can give.

That is a solution for my particular Mac, but it doesn't solve the problem for our entire school district. It would be very costly to purchase a copy of iLife '11 for each Mac 10.7 in our school district. I am talking hundreds of computers.
Is there a program or app that could be purchased independently, and more cheeply than the iLife suite, that could mimic what iDVD did? Afterall, I already have iMovie and iPhoto. I just need iDVD or something similar.

How can I burn a DVD from iMovie from my Mac book pro

Since the new mac book pro does not have a DVD drive and does not come with iDVD, I can't figure out how to burn DVD's from iMovie.
I have the external drive and was under the impression that it would be able to burn DVD as well as play them.
Any help is greatly needed. I have many movies I made in iMovie and need to burn to DVD for players.
Thank you

IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

How do you burn a dvd from imovie if computer does not have idvd anymore?

How can I burn a dvd from imovie if this computer does not have idvd? is there anything in mountain lion that will allow this simple task to be completed.'
When i try to finish a project in iphoto it wont even do that...can anyone help?

Buy iDVD.
Yes, there are other programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, DVD Creator, Wondershare, 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. (works with all Mac OS 10.5 and newer.)

How do I burn a dvd from iMovie 10.0.4 to i DVD 7.1.2 in Mavericks?

How do I burn a dvd from iMovie 10.0.4 to i DVD 7.1.2 in Mavericks? When I hit File>Share>File and select a location, I can't see the file anywhere. I looked for other instructions on support forums and they don't seem to work. Everything was working fine until I upgraded.

How do I burn a DVD from IMovie?

I have created a project in IMovie 08 and would like to save it to a DVD that can, in turn, be played on a computer or TV. However, there is no obvious way to burn a DVD from IMovie. How do I do this?

Hi
You start by saying - I have created a project in IMovie 08 -
But then say that You don't have iDVD ?
If You got iMovie 08 then this was delivered with iDVD - so by finding this on hard disk or DVDs and then install it on the New Mac - DIRECTLY THEN - Update (do not try it first - will mess things up) by using Program-Up-date under Apple menu. to iDVD v. 7.1.2 - and all will be well.
Only brand new Macs delivered with iMovie'11 v. 9.0.4/6 - will be delivered without iDVD.

Can't burn to DVD from iMovie (4.0) using iDVD. Can I use another program?

Suddenly, after making several DVDs with this computer using its old version of iMovie without trouble, I can't burn my latest creation...I'm getting a message saying that "You cannot use this version of the application iDVD with this version of Mac OS X."
I cannot update to the newest OS X Snow Leopard, because I've tried and my computer is not intel-based.
So, has my iDVD application has been updated to suddenly be incompatible?? How has it worked before?
(I've tried to upgrade my iMovie application to the current iMovie '11, but my computer is not intel-based.)
Is there another solution to my problem? Is there another application that I can use to burn from iMovie to a DVD besides using iDVD? (Remember, I have an old computer.) :o)
Thank you so much for any help you can give!

You can try using BURN at http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html

How do I burn a dvd from iMovie if I no longer have iDVD?

iDVD didn't come on my new MacBook Pro so when I went to burn a dvd of a movie I made the pull down option was to send to iDVD. If iDVD isn't there how I am supposed to burn a DVD? I purchased Aimersoft DVD Creator but it won't allow me to drag my movie to it.

Your in the wrong forum, this is for iOS (iPads and iPhones).
I will try to get this moved.
But I do have an answer, export a quicktime movie from iMovie.
I believe it is under the share menu.
That will be able to be burnt using Aimersoft DVD.
You can't send a project file to Aimersoft.

IDVD is missing in my Mac pro. How do I burn a DVD from iMovie project?

I have a new Mac pro and prepared a project in imovie. When I activated the share button for iDVD in iMovie, the application was not found. Any idea on how to burn my movie project to a DVD?

I have a new Mac pro
If you are still within your 15 day return period, nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. (Ask to speak to a senior advisor.)

If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk (don't get the download) for about $39.

How do I burn a DVD from iMovie running Mavericks?

Okay, I must be slow or something because after making the movies and burning them, they will not play in a DVD player! You tube video tells me to move the video to iDVD which I can't locate. Did this come with mountain lion or mavericks? Not in the App Store either. Though, there are tutor&course for iDVD!
Very frustrating trying to learn imovie. You Tube video link would help or detailed explanation. Thanks

If you have iLife 11 DVD (available on amazon) and run the installer get to the point where there is a customize button on bottom lhs and press it you will see it is not installing anything (since they are all old now) except iweb and iDVD.
I just tried this on a 2013 mac mini that came with mavericks and they both work but you cannot update them since it brings up the app store instead of software update.
I am creating a DVD image right now based on the default revolution theme

How do I burn a DVD from an imovie?

Use iDVD.
Apple no longer sells it. Buy any version of iLife 11, 09, or 08 from your favourite software vendor and install just the iDVD app.

How can I burn a dvd without themes?

how can I burn a dvd without themes?

(From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
How to create a DVD in iDVD 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.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. 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:
http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
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!

Why when we burn a DVD from iMovie, does it pause in different places?

Why when we burn a DVD from iMovie, does it pause in different places?

Hi
does it pause in different places?
During Burn ?
During Playback of DVD ?
On Mac ?
On Stand alone DVD-Player ?
During Burn.
What brand of DVD ?
What type of DVD ? DVD-R or DVD+R or +/-RW - SL or DL
Did You set down burn speed in iDVD ?
Free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk. HOW MUCH ?

How can I burn a dvd now that I can't download premiere pro cs6 with Encore?

How can I burn a dvd now that I can't download premiere pro cs6 with Encore?

Here's what you do to get Premiere CS6 + Encore:
Just click here (it's the same link as the more information link in CC.)
or
Go to your Creative Cloud application (on the menu bar) and go to Adobe Premiere CC and click more information
There is a dropdown menu that says "Adobe Premiere Pro CC" near the top.
Click it and the other option is "Adobe Premiere Pro CS6." Select that.
Now on the top right corner of the page it has a download button that says "Download Adobe Premiere Pro CS6."
It is included in your CC subscription.
However, a word of warning, you cannot use Adobe Dynamic Link to link to a Premiere CC sequence directly in Encore. A CS6 sequence still works fine, but if you have a CC project, you will need to encode your sequence into a DVD friendly format (MPEG2 file). I'm really hoping that Adobe changes this in their upcoming release, and just adds the ability to import CC sequences into Encore, then I would be fine with them not including it in the normal CC package, or updating it. But I haven't seen anything about it in the release notes.
A lot of people still want their DVDs and it's a lot easier to just dynamically link the sequence.
