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 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 make a dvd from an imovie

    I made a new project in iMovie, and I want to burn it onto a DVD, but my iLife package did not come with iDVD, so how do I burn a DVD from iMovie without iDVD?

    you have a very legitimate point. To my knowledge, there is no more secure way for archival storage than a DVD stored in a dark, cool, plastic enclosed jacket (to protect from scratches). after experiencing hard drive SATA storage discs (time capsule failures in particular) fail, want to go back to DVD storage, but now everyone wants to sell you a new program and 2 TB backups.
    So what to do? Dumb down my Lion OS  back to Leopard and go back to the good old days when I could get something done?
    Having "switched " from MS to Mac almost 4 years ago, ready to go back. I had fewer hassles with my computers, got more done, and had lower blood pressure ten years ago than I do now, although Windows is always a "Johnny come lately" when it comes to any new innovation, having merely perfected the art of monopoly. lately though, have become very disenchanted with Apple, and will not be replacing /repairing my MacBook pro, macMini,  iIMac when they finally break.
    Is there any you tube site that someone could show me how to simply plug my Sony 8mm camcorder with the old Motorola style plugs (also has an S -video option) to the Mac Mini and burn the DVDs one by one? No editing. no fancy stuff. Just a straight out burn for archival storage? I want to get that done first before I mess with the hard drive back ups.
    Thanks

  • How do I create a DVD from an iMovie '08 Project?

    How do I create a DVD from an iMovie '08 Project? I followed the directions in the help section but when I open iDVD, my project is "grayed out" and I cannot open it in iDVD.
    Rich Rector

    In general, in imovie Share to Media Browser or Share to iTunes.
    Then open iDVD. Open the Media Browser in iDVD (at bottom right of window). Navigate to your movies and you should see the movie you made. Drag it in to the iDVD project.

    I have the new retina MacBook Pro.  I made an iMovie but there's no idvd.  How do I make a dvd from my iMovie?

    Apple no longer sells iDvd.  You will have to purchase an older version of iLife that has iDvd on it or use a third party application such as Toast from Roxio.

  • 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.

  • How do I burn a DVD from iPhoto slideshow?

    Hi all. I am using iPhoto '11 (ver 9.4.2) on my MacBook Pro. I also have iMovie 11 on my Mac. How can I create a DVD that can be played in a DVD player, for ultimate use at an upcoming party (to be played in DVD player and shown on a projector screen)? I had read somewhere abotu clicking the "Share" text and then select iDVD, but that is no longer an option in this iPhoto. Instead, it offers to "Burn" but then a pop-up dialog box clearly states that the DVD would be for iPhoto viewing only.... but I know there has to be another way. Help1?
    A little more specs: Although I have several thousand photos on my HDD, I created a new Album of 200 photos for this particular slidehow. I added a playlist and can press "Play Slideshow" within iPhoto. It plays and looks beautifully (can;t get enough of Ken Burns effect!). But, of course, I need to get this onto a DVD? Any thoughts?
    So, that is the first question.
    Relatedly, if I COULD, I would like to insert a few video (small 10 second snippets) into the slideshow, and mute the music during those segments - is that something I shoudl do in iMovie.... and then how to export to DVD?
    Thanks.

    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago. 
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them. 
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    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 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

  • 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.)
    408-996-1010
    If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11  (includes iDVD) on disk (don't get the download) for about $39.

  • I have two questions.  How do I burn a DVD from a slideshow created in IPhoto without using IDVD which is no longer available?!!  And is there any way to control the automatic zooming in my slideshow?

    I know IMac messed up by no longer offering IDVD OR ILIFE on their new computers. Yes I too am mad I spent the money.  But does anyone have a solution  on how to work with the limited programs I did get?  Or what programs do you suggest I purchase to be able to do something as simple as burn a slidewshow on a DVD!!!!  I already purchases Xilisoft DVD which does not allow for photos only videos.  I want to use both!  I have had my new mac less than a year.  Can I still return it?

    If you contact Apple at
    U.S. iPod, Mac and iPad technical support:
    (800) APL-CARE (800-275-2273)
    You should be able to get a copy of the original DVDs for  a nominal charge.

  • URGENT HELP, How do you burn a DVD from Final Cut Pro

    This is my first video and I have to have it done by Wednesday, but I dont know how to take the movie from final cut and import to DVD Studio Pro. If anyone can help please let me know as soon as you can. Thanks Zack

    Hi Zack
    There are several ways to do it. To keep it simple just export a self contained movie out of FCP then import this into DVDSP. It will do all the encoding in the background for you. The prefered way is to export out of your timeline to Compressor and use one of the DVD-mpeg-2 presets. The preset you use depends on the the length of your project, the quality of the video, etc. Once you get to understand mpegging a bit more you can create your own settings to suit yourself. If you have to be done by tomorrow just keep it simple and get it done - then you can play another day : )
    Good luck

  • 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 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.
