How can I convert an iMovie to a DVD?

I have a movie created in iMovie and I need to put it into DVD format so that I can add menus and such. Help? I have a new Mac that is not supported by iDVD so what do I do?

Click here and ask Apple for a free copy of it.

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

only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.

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

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????

How can I convert an iMovie 9 project down to iMovie 8?

Student started movie project in school in iMovie 8. Took project home to work on it, but had iMovie 9 at home. Now, he can't read his movie project on computer at school (in iMovie 8). Any "Save as" or down-converter?

It is not possible to downconvert. You can forward-convert to a later version because the later version has all the old features plus some new ones. You cannot backward convert, because once you convert, the project file now has the new data structures that enable the new features. The old version does not know what to do with these.
If he was running Time Machine, he could go back to the iMovie 08 version and just lose any edits he made under iMovie 09. Otherwise, he should just finish up the project at home.

How can I convert a home movie on dvd(vob file) to edit on imovie?

I had home movies converted to a dvd- the files are vob. Now I want to edit the movies in imovie.
I am having a difficult time converting from vob straight to mov files.
I purchased Quick Time Pro thinking that could do it, but I haven't been able to.
Also, it just says QuickTime Player Version 7.6.4 (518.35) on my computer.
Is it supposed to say QuickTIme Pro?
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

The "Pro" option just unlocks a lot of features in QuickTime Player. If you look at the registration info, it will show if you have Pro installed.
For converting DVD's you have two options; hardware or software.
The hardware option involves connecting a DVD player's analog outputs to a qualified "DV device" (DV camcorder, VTR or converter) then connecting the DV device's Firewire port to your Mac to capture the footage.
The software option involves using an application like DVDxDV or MPEG Streamclip to convert the DVD's VOB files into an editable format that works natively with your chosen NLE.

How can i convert an iMovies file to be e-mailed and sent to a PC user?.

I have a Sony Cyber shot DSC-HX9V, I have taken some videos and have tried to import / download on to my MacBook Pro. When viewing in iphoto the movies have been flattened to a .jpeg image.
I have opened up imovies and I can see the movie, although in many frames/second, i have created a new project and collected all the frames so it forms one file. I have tried to e-mail this movie to a PC user and all they can see is the flat .jepg image.
Help!!!.
I look forward to your / anyones comments.
Thanks.

You should post in the iMovie forum area.
You should also mention which os you are using also.

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 !

How can I Convert HD video to SD DVD

Final cut Studio is a new tool for me. I've make a 3 minutes video montage in HD 720p and when I try to downconvert in SD M2V, the footage look very bad with a lot of aliasing and pixelisation. I've try many setup with the best quality in Compressor and nothing seem to work. The shooting was make with a Sony XDCAM EX1 in 720p 30fps and 60 fps. The only way I've found for downconvert with good quality is in Quicktime Mp4 or H264. I've another problem with the quality of my shooting: When a subject have a lateral displacement in front of my camera, image is not smooth, it's like a stroboscope. I've setup my timeline in 720 30p. When I playback direct from my camera in the monitor it's OK.
What's wrong ????
Merci beaucoup!

Try this:
Go to iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Movies
Uncheck the little box in the lower right corner that says Download HD When Available
Click the cloud download symbol to download the SD version of an item you want.

How can I convert MPEG files (stored on a PC) to use in iMovie on my Macbook Pro?

How can I convert MPEG files (stored on a PC) to use in iMovie on my Macbook Pro?

Get a free app called MPEG Streamclip.
Available here.
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
Drag your clip or clips into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to export the clips in Apple Intermediate Codec.
Sometimes, MPEG2 clips also require that you install the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you need this. This is available from Apple for $20.
