How can I burn my imovie creation onto a disk so that it will play on windows or other computers?

I have been trying to burn my imovie project onto a DVD to show it to my school, but the school has windows computers so the disk won't play. I have already tried to use iDVD but nothing is working. How can I burn my project onto a disk so it will play on a windows format? I have the latest version of imovie by the way. Any tips or advice would be helpful. Thanks!

What do you mean by "nothing is working"? Create an iDVD project, burn to disk and it can be played on a PC as long as the PC can play video DVDs, either commercial or home made.
Export the movie out of iMovie as 480p. Open iDVD, select your theme and drag the movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones that may be present.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
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, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is 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.

How can I burn an iMovie project onto DVD?

I just finished a project on iMovie. I need to burn a copy on a DVD.
IDVD does work for my needs. The old versions of iMovie had an option to burn DVDs.
So... how can one burn an DVD copy without using iDVD?
Also best program to convert file format from iMovie ... i.e. Windows computer?

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.

IMovie does not "share" to iDVD. How can i burn an iMovie to DVD? I do have a copy of iDVD on my Mac

IMovie 11 does not "share" to iDVD. How can i burn an iMovie to DVD? I do have a copy of iDVD on my Mac

My advice, keep iDVD on your Apple Mac as it is a great software and let's hope Apple will introduce it again in imovie 10. Since you may have imovie 10.0 (2013) up-dated from imvovie 9.0 (which included iDVD for burning your home made films on imvoie 9.0,) you can proceed as follows to burn it on a DVD:
a) your film is completed on imovie 10.0. Under share transfer it to "Theatre" (default).
b) open iDVD and drag the film ex "Theatre" on the space "movie" of i.DVD.
c) Inser a DVD and clic on "burn"...
It worked for me.

How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play in quicktime but not iTunes

How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play with quicktime but not iTunes so I can't sync them

Th AVPlayerHD works well for playing other video types. You can transfer the videos via USB in the app tab in iTunes on your computer. When you open that tab when you have you iPad connected to the computer scroll down and you will see apps listed on the left and a blank on the right. Click on the app and then click on the add button under the blank window on the right. Then navigate to the video you want to play and it will transfer it to the iPad. I have about 14 movies on mine using AVPlayerHD. works very well. Also have VLC player (before it was yanked from the app store). Works about the same.
You can also get the app Air Video and stream the video to from your computer to the iPad, and even have Theo ad connected to the tv to watch on there. I do that all the time with my iPhone. Saves time with not having to sync movies all the time.

I want to burn some of the songs within my itunes library onto a cd to give to my Aunt. I tried this once already and the songs would play on radio but only from one speaker. How do I burn my playlists onto cd and have it play correctly? (out of both speakers)

You can burn a cd for personal use, by making a playlist, then go to File>Burn Playlist

How do I burn an iMovie project onto a DVD?

I have recently completed an iMovie project, and I want to burn the project onto a DVD. I have exported the project and burnt it, but it only opens with iTunes and Quicktime, and I was hoping to play the movie on a DVD player. I am desperate and need assistance ASAP !!

When in iMovie, click Share then iDVD. In iDVD you can customize your dvd menu. After you are done, then click File, Burn DVD or ⌘+R. And it will ask you to insert your blank disk and then it will start burning. After it has completed the burn, it will ask you if you want to make another disk (if you want multiple copies). Your movie should then be viewable on any DVD player.

How do you burn off final project onto dvd disk?

how do you burn off a final project onto a dvd disk....do you need idvd or dvd studio pro?

can i just export my project into toast and then burn it off?
Yes. Toast is capable of doing the compressing/encoding, multiplexing and burning, although in tests that I've done, Toast's encoding quality isn't nearly as good as iDVD, Compressor or DVD-SP.
do i need to compress it?
Toast will do that for you.
or do anything else to it?
Use good quality media. Stay away from poor quality brands like Memorex.

TS3249 How can I delete an iMovie file reference to a server that no longer exists?

I am using iMovie 11 and used to have a NAS that I've removed. Whenever I open iMovie, i get a prompt stating that the NAS server (name) no longer exists. I thought I had moved all my project files to an external hard drive but I must have missed one. I've tried deleting the com.apple.iMovieApp.plist file but this didn't stop the prompt. The prompt happens every 5 seconds or so until I close iMovie.
Is there a way to reassociate the missing file to my iMovie project? When I clip on the "missing source clip" in the preview window, I cannot change the properties of the clip to reassociate it to the correct location.
I am running OS X lion v 10.7.4, iMovie 9.0.8.

Yeah, this is quite late. Here's how I think you can do it. Run Show Package Contents on the .rcproject file. Find the file simply called "Project". Make a backup copy, and then open it with TextWrangler or similar program*. Search for the path in the file, fix it, and save. Try it in iMovie again. (The version I have is 9.0.4).
* TextWrangler allows you to edit binary XML files, which is what Project is. I'm sure there are other programs that can do the same. This one is free.

How can I put an image in the page header so that it will be repeated on every page?

Hi to everyone!
I want to create a Pages template with the logo of our company in the page header.
I'd like to put that image (logo) in the page header so that it will be repeated on every page but it will not modify the content of the page.
Anyone know how to achive this, or something similar without have to copy-paste that image every time we add a page to the document?
Thanks in advance

Takashi,
Turn off the Page Headers (not absolutely necessary, but since you don't need it, why not)
Put your Graphic on the page and make the following settings:
Then Insert > Text Box and make the same settings as for the graphic.
Place your "Header text" in the text box and arrange the box and graphic as you want them. Move both to Section Master using the Arrange menu.

How can I add a website to a 'block' list so that Mozilla will not display it as a selection in a Google search?

I search for images with no filtering using Google and receive a bunch of sites that are known for installing Trojans or other malware. One of them ends with brstsecond.net. 'brstsecond" seems to be bad in any web address. In fact, any website with more than two dots-names between the "www" and the ".com or .net" seems to be one to avoid.
Doesn't Mozilla have a blacklist that I can add sites to?

How can I burn an iMovie project in DVD Studio Pro?

I created a DVD in iMovie for a friend, then burned the disc with iDVD. When I play it on my home DVD player it looks and sounds fine - but when he plays it on his DVD player, it looks fine but the audio is poor and echoes a lot. I looked at his setup, and he has DTS (digital theater sound), and from my primitive research, I found out the iDVD does not support DTS. I do however own DVD Studio Pro 3 which supposedly does support DTS - however I have never used this program and need some help figuring it out.
Is it possible to take the project that I created in iMovie and burn it in DVD Studio Pro so that it would be compatible with a DTS setup? I would need very specific steps to doing this because I have never used DVD Studio Pro before.

and he has DTS (digital theater sound), and from my primitive research, I found out the iDVD does not support DTS. I do however own DVD Studio Pro 3 which supposedly does support DTS
iDVD creates DVDs with uncompressed audio (PCM). DVDSP (FCStudio) has no DTS conversion capabilites, just Dolby Digital (AC3).
I think that your friend DTS system must play stereo PCM too; you could check in its documentation.
What I do know is that DVDs with uncompressed audio (we are talking about computer created and burned ones in particular) can be difficult to play fine in some players because the high bitrate.
I'm not an iMovie expert but as far I remember you can export your movie from there as high quality video (you must get a QuickTime movie with same settings that your footage) and convert it to MPEG2 video and AC3 audio using Compressor, and finally importing those assets to DVDSP.
I hope this help !
