How do i burn my iMovie to dvd?

I'm trying to create a DVD from an iMovie project that can be played on a conventional DVD player (not bluRay).  How do I do this without iDVD, which appears to have been discontinued?

IDVD is only sold on disk (as part of iLife 11).
IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie.  I have about a half a dozen other DVD authoring programs, including Toast, Burn and others. IDVD is vastly superior and easier to use.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

  • 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.

  • Am I missing something?  How do I burn an iMovie to DVD

    I've spent hours importing and assembling clips in iMovie 08 and got it ready..but for the life of me, I cannot find out how to simply burn this to a DVD to go watch on television with my family. I don't want to export to youtube or my iPhone....Just a traditional DVD please...
    Anyone?

    Try iMovie Help, which offers this Help Topic when I search for "iDVD":
    *Creating a movie to use with iDVD, iWeb, or other Apple applications*
    If you want to use of your iMovie projects in iDVD, iWeb, or another Apple application, you need to render it and send it to the Media Browser. iMovie allows you to render one or more sizes of your a movie, depending on the size of the original media used in the project.
    If the larger sizes are not available, the original project media isn’t large enough to render in that size. The largest media size used in the project determines the final movie sizes you can render.
    Tiny: Always 176 by 144 pixels.
    Mobile: Always 480 by 272 pixels.
    Medium: Varies in size from 640 by 480 pixels (standard aspect ratio) to 640 by 360 pixels (widescreen), depending on the size of the media in your project.
    Large: Always 960 by 540 pixels (widescreen). No large size is rendered if your original video isn’t high definition (HD).
    The dots below each device in the table of sizes indicate which movie sizes are recommended for use with that device. Hovering the pointer over the “i” next to the movie dimensions displays the following information for the rendered movies:
    H.264: The standard video compression that's used in the movie.
    fps: The frame rate of the movie in frames per second.
    Kbps: The maximum rate at which the movie can be streamed over the internet in kilobytes per second.
    MB: The size of the movie file in megabytes.
    To share your project with other applications through the Media Browser:
    Select it in the Project Library, and then choose Share > Media Browser.
    Select the size that best matches what you’ll be using the video for. For iDVD, the Large size is best.
    Click Share.
    Rendering can take up to several minutes depending on the size of your movie. It will also take longer if you render more than one movie size at once.
    Open iDVD or your other application and then look for the rendered movies in the Movies window or iLife Media Browser.
    For best results in iDVD, select the largest movie that’s available.
    In iMovie, an icon appears next to the project’s name in the Project Library to indicate that the project has been rendered.
    If you make further edits to your project in iMovie after you’ve rendered it, the title bar indicates that your project is out of date and needs to be rendered again. The old versions of the movie are deleted and replaced by new ones when you render it again.
    If you want to save the previous version of your movie before you edit it, you can do so by exporting it to the Finder.:

    How do I burn my imovie project to dvd?

    In addition to iDVD, there are several other options, including Roxio Toast, Compressor, and Burn.
    Burn is a free open-source disk authoring program. It does not have the eye candy that iDVD does, but it is free, and I wouldn't spend a lot of money on this since you may find you make fewer and fewer DVDs. I probably make maybe one a year.

  • How do I burn an iMovie to DVD

    I created a movie in iMovie and now I want to share it by burning it to a DVD for use in stand alone DVD players.  I used to do this with iDVD but Mavericks does not have it anymore.  Why?

    It has been unsupported since Lion, I think. I use Roxio Toast Titanium as well as iDVD.  iDVD is still available on the older iLife '11 DVDs if you can find one on eBay or similar, and is still supported in Mavericks. I still like to use iDVD. One of the better DVD burning software, and  I have no idea why Apple stopped supporting it (along with iWeb). Actually, if you have a copy of it in your backup, you can, I believe, drag it across.
    Good Luck

    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.

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

  • How do you burn an iMovie project to a DVD without using iDVD themes?

    I created a presentation (slide show with music) in iMovie and need to burn it to a DVD.  When I pull it into iDVD, it forces me to pick a theme which puts more music in.  I just want it the way I have it in iMovie!  How do I do that?

    (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!

    Hey,
    If you don't mind a third-party software, you can try the DVD Creator to burn any kind of videos to DVD with the ability to play on DVD player~~The process is really easy and you can DIY the DVD menu if you like. (offer the guide to you!)

  • I have just finalised a project on iMovie, now how do I burn it to a dvd?

    I have just finalised a project on iMovie, and hadn't realized there was no idvd! how do I burn it to a dvd now?

    With 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.
    http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/idvd.html
    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.)

  • I made a movie in  Imovie and want to burn a DVD but don't want the Idvd  selections How did just burn my imovie the wayit is

    How do I get my imovie to be burnt onto dvd without having Idvd's themes?

    In iDVD it's not exactly possible to make a DVD without menu, but there's a few workarounds:
    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

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.
    On the other hand, you could also place a text saying "The End" in that menu ....
    3. Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just un-check the appropriate check box

Why would Apple give us iMovie and not provide us an app to burn it to a DVD and / or take away the iDVD?

    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

    I've created a movie now how do I burn it to a DVD?  I'm new in this forum so I may need help here, too.

    When you finish your iMovie project, use the Share Menu to Share to Media Browser in Large or Medium size.
    (Shareing to iTunes will work, too)
    Then in iDVD, you can see the Media Browser at the lower right of the window. You can drag your project in from there.
