How do I burn a simple .AVI to a blank DVD?

I don't need the fancy menu or buttons to click on. I just have an .AVI that I need to burn to a DVD. So that when it's inserted into a DVD, it starts playing right away.
Thanks!

If you don't want a Menu at all then use One Step and burn from a QT folder.
If you want a very plain menu then use the standard approach when making an iDVD (customize to very basic).

How do I burn a simple iMovie project to a dvd ?

I am so frustrated every time I make an iMovie project and am ready to burn it to a dvd whether for a client or family/friends because I struggle each time to know what the steps are. When I finally get one burnt it is just by accident it seems and I go through so many dvds it's not funny. I don't like to use DVDR's that are printable because when they don't work I have wasted one of them, and I want to make professional looking dvds with a picture or logo printed on the dvd. There is nothing on the iMovie Help button that leads you to the steps for burning a dvd from your project even after you have shared/saved it in the size format you will be showing it. If I type in BURN IMOVIE DVD or anything at all like that it leads me to dead ends. I eventually seem to burn a dvd but it seems it is only by hit and miss and a lot of wasted dvdr's. Please, can't Apple provide simple steps to follow to burn iMovie projects to a dvd for viewing on various computers and tvs? I REALLY need answers.

In addition to John's suggestions this is what I was referring to. Use a template such as this one:
Select the button that's on the menu and delete it
Make a simple black graphic in any basic graphics application and fill it with black. Just drag the graphic into the menu to replace the background.

How can I burn more than 1 movie to a DVD when there is room on the disc for it. Premiere wants to overwrite once 1 movie is burned to the disc

How can I burn more than 1 movie onto a DVD? Once 1 movie is burned successfully to the disc, I try to burn another movie and Premiere wants to overwrite the first movie. One movie is 1.2 GB, second is 2.3; so there is room on a 4.7 GB DVD-RW.

What you report is what it is.
Each burn to of Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO format on DVD disc results in the disc containing one OpenDVD Folder and one VIDEO_TS Folder.
Only one VIDEO_TS Folder can be put on a DVD-VIDEO disc even when Premiere Elements is not involved. I have seen that written about online, and I have
never found a way to overcome what seems to be basic behavior description of DVD-VIDEO..
Premiere Elements will allow you to write to a disc with content already on it, but only after you give the OK for erasing the disc content before going ahead
with the burn to.
If you have several movies, one possibility is to build a Timeline with the movies, use stop markers, and setup disc menus according so that the viewer
can selectively watch the movies. More on that later if wanted.
Any questions or need clarification, please ask.
Thank you.

How do I burn a slideshow from iPhoto to a DVD?

How do I burn a slidshow from iPhoto to a DVD?

Export the slideshow from iPhoto, that makes a movie of it.
Do you want to use this DVD in a domestic DVD player? If so, then the disk will have to be 'authored' to make it the correct form for that. If you have iDVD then that's the app you use. However, iDVD is no longer developed or distributed by Apple. You may be able to get it on an old iLIfe install disk.
Other options:
Burn: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/21992/burn
Toast: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/6351/toast-titanium
But there are lots of others too. Search on the App Store or MacUpdate

How can I Burn a Simple DVD with Chapters and Menus out of My Home Videos.

I created an iMovie (unsig iMovie 10.0.2) of my daughter's volleyball season. I inserted markers separating each game day, hoping these would create chapters in my DVD. Then I did some research about DVD burning apps and finally downloaded BURN. With Burn I created a DVD, but this DVD did not have chapters and also did not have a customizable menu. The whole movie ended up as one 2 hour long chapter.
I have hundresd of family vacation on a hard drive stored and would like to start making iMovies of them to put on DVD for easy watching and forbackup storing.
What is a simple way I can burn my iMovie with chapters onto a DVD?
My macbook pro did not come with iDVD so I dont have it.
Thanks.

MY source is HD i beleive. I shot videos with an iPad Mini.
I ventured into this because I offered this DVD to several team parents, so they are waiting for me to give them the DVD. While I was making it, I added subtitles, showing the game dates, game scores and stats of each player, so it came out really nice. However, not to concern about quality, i have burt the video in a dual layer dvd in SD. I dont have a blue ray burner nor media.
This made me want to do the same with my family vacations vieeos, whic now are a bunch of files in a hard drive, sort them by vacation and add titles like lications to actualy be abel to watch them on a dvd someday.
I have apple tv in the family room, but do not use to watch these videos, will look into that. However, I would still want to make the DVD's.
It seems odd how this, basic feature, has been dropped. I guess apple does not want us to use any more discs.
Still hoping I can do this, if not, I will have to gie away the DVDs with the 2 hour long video in a single chapter.

How do I burn more than one file to a dvd in with compressor?

I'm needing to burn 2 video files to a single dvd, is it possible to do so in Compressor?

The easiest way is to put them into a single sequence in FCP, separated by a gap and title, with a chapter marker set at that location for navigation. You could also use Quick Time Pro for this.
But Compressor cannot do multi-track DVD;s like a full fledged authoring program – such as DVD Studio Pro. iDVD can also do this if you can locate a boxed copy of iLife…also Toast.

When i try to burn a movie onto a new blank dvd it says ther's not...

...enough space and i just bought tdk blank dvd disks 4.7 gb. so how could that not be enough ??? i was also able to burn dvds on blank disks before too, without any problems...someone please help me out !

Ok let's do it like this. Open
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22715
This is free it is Mactheripper.
Place the Movie in and it will place a folder on your desktop of the Movie.
Close MTR and then I suggest Popcorn.
Costs around $49.00
Open Popcorn and then drag the folder to Popcorn and then in the lower right corner there is a big RED dot afteryou insert the DVD-R click on the red dot. It will chime when it's done.
You will have a pristine copy.
I also suggest you use DVD-R Media it is the most widely used and recognized, and will play on 95% of players and computers.

I have a typical 720x480 sequence in final cut that i've exported as a quicktime movie. I put it in DVD studio pro 4, made a simple menu, but it never burns correctly. How do I burn a simple one video DVD that actually has reasonable quality?

I don't understand why burning DVDs has so many problems.

There are a number of tutorials that might help you.
http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/first_play_warmouth.html
http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/basic_build_dvd_in_dvd_sp.html
DVD SP gives you a lot of control over the DVD authoring process. But with that, you also have the ability to make a lot of bad discs. iDVD will lead you down a narrow path. It will always make a disc that plays, but you have very little control or customization. If all you want to do is make a simple DVD that plays, then you might be better off with iDVD.

HT1103 How can I burn a slideshow (with sound) to a DVD. I have an imac desktop.

Does anyone know how to burn a slideshow to a dvd disc. It has pictures, video and music. LLaBant

To create a video DVD disk that can be played in set top DVD players and shown on a TV set you need a DVD video authoring application, like iDVD. If you do not have iDVD on your Mac you'll have to purchse it by bying a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com.
Why iLife 09 and not 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.
1 - once you have iDVD installed export the slideshow out of iPhoto at Size = Medium or Large:
2 - 0pen iDVD, select your theme and drag the exported movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
3 - follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality 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 and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was 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 do i burn a project from imovie to a dvd

i just finished editing my video project via imovie. i tried to burn it to a dvd as i would in a pc but i failed terribly, does anyone here know how to go about doing. i just want to burn the movie that i have made to a dvd so i can send it to the rightful ownner. please help.

i just bought the new imac 2012 late release model
If you are still within your 15 day return period. Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge. (There are no realistic substitutes.)
Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.

800-692-7753
If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

Yes, there are 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.
I use iMovie 06 and iDVD 11 on a Mac Pro with 2 DVD drives.

How to directly burn .m2v and .ac3 files on a DVD?

I made a DVD movie processing on Compressor but I forgot to select the "Job Action" (Create DVD), so now I have the 2 files .m2v and .ac3 but I have to burn the DVD. How can I do without re-processing the original movie?
Thanks

If you have Toast or DVD Studio you can use these files. If not, you'll may need to re-encode the movie.
But try this if you saved the the Compressor project that made those elementary streams. Reopen it and slightly change the name of the output files (say, by adding a numeric prefix to each name). When you do the yellow warning triangle should go away. Change the job action to burn DVD and submit, If it works, you should get a near-complete progress bar in a matter of seconds. Then you should be able to burn your physical disk or make a disk image for multiple copies.
Good luck.

How can I burn my iPhone home videos to a DVD to play on a TV?

The video files are on a Windows PC. I also have an iPad, but the videos are on the PC with the DVD burner on it. I can burn a DVD, but it won't play on a TV in the DVD player.

Here's one way:

How do I burn a disc image (img file) to dvd?

I created a disc image from iDVD, but my disc drive on my home computer is broken. With a flash drive, I copied the img file onto my work computer & burned the file to disc. However, while the file copied, the disc doesn't play as normal dvd. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Though the replies above were very helpful and most likely would have worked, my work computer doesn't allow access to Disc Utilities. However, I bugged my IT guy and he showed me another way, using the Burn Application. I just needed to use the correct setting, as was mentioned above, I was burning data & not DVD. I'm sorry I don't have it in front of me, but I think I had to click the DVD tab & then select DVD/Video from the drop-down menu. One quirky element: I wasn't able to drag/drop the img file into Burn. I needed to drop the contents of the img file (the VIDEO_TS folder). Then it worked fine.

How do I burn a mailbox in Mail to a DVD?

I'm trying to burn all of my wife's business emails from 2011 to a DVD so we can delte them off the HD. I did this last year but with the upgrade to Mountain Lion I can't figure it out. There are approximately 65,000 emails and when I exported it it said it was a 550MB file. When I did this for her 2010 emails it took 4 DVDs (~17GB). So....I think when you export it only exports the text and not the attachments. Is there a way to export text and attachments? Also, is there a way to burn the mailbox directly from Mail without having to export it and then burn it, or am I asking too much? Thank you in advance for you assistance.

Movies are not like music that you can burn to be played in a stand-alone player. Licensing agreements. You can burn the file to a DVD for back up but it has to be played with iTunes on an authorized computer.
