How do I convert imovie 10.0.3 to Idvd

I've made an end of year video for my students. I can't figure out how to convert it from imovie to idvd. Please help me!!!

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.
But that of course depends on whether you have iDVD installed. The latest Macs don't, and you forgot to mention what Mac you are using and what version of OS X it is running.
If you don't have iDVD:
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

How can I convert imovie into photo's

How can I convert imovie into photo's

For iMovie 11, you will need to download a free tool called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5. (Google it). This is a very handy tool to have if you make videos.
In iMovie, select the clip that contains the frame that you want. Right-click on the clip and select Reveal in Finder.
You should see the clip highlighted in the Finder. Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip. Move the playhead to the frame you want. Then click FILE/EXPORT FRAME. You can choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG.

How can I convert Imovie DVD to work on a PC

I am trying to make a class video in imovie. I want to make DVDS for the kids that will play on PC's Dell Etc. or on their dvd players at home? How do I convert it in imovie to burn to a DVD that will play on a PC

Hi
There are two levels on this Q:
A. 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.
B. If You got a DVD authoring program - then
Making better or worse DVDs still occurs
• Brand of DVD matters - Cheap DVDs as Memorex and NoName known problem makers for VIDEO - I only use Verbatim
• Type of DVD used - I use DVD-R as they also play on older DVD-players - and NEVER +/-RW as they usually gives lot's of problems
• BURN SPEED - (Important esp reg. PC or playback on Mac that burned the DVD) - I set it down to x2 or x4 as this gives far less burn errors

How do I convert iMovie 9.x files in iMovie 11?

A while back I upgraded to iMovie 10 and when I opened it it asked me to convert and upgrade my projects. I chose to do so but it ran into an error after about the 10th project in my list of 15 projects. So I created a folder called oldimovieprojectfolders and moved all iMovie Project files into it, except the first one I could see that iMovie was able to convert when processing.
Sure enough it worked and finished converting my one project and Im able to see it in my iMovie 11 now.
The problem is that now I need other projects converted. So when I open iMovie 11 and choose Update Projects and Events, it doesnt find any of the old projects even after I took the one I wish to convert today and moved it from the oldimoviesprojectsfolder to the iMovie Projects folder.
How can I make iMovie recognize that old project in iMovie Project folder?

If you look into your iMovie projects and events folder you will find that iMovie version10 (it is version 10, iMovie '11 = imove v.9) has added an empty file named something like "updated to imovie ....." in order that it doesn't update the same projects twice.
If you trash this folder in both the projects and events folders, iMovie 10 will be able to update them. Of course you need to temporarily hide the projects and events which you have already successfully updated.
You probably have a single project or event which is causing the problem so I would advise updating just one project at a time. You will get a new library for each in iMovie 10 but you can sort this out afterwards.

How do I convert iMovie HD to show in good quality on the new iPad pleas?

iMovie HD bundled with the 06 iMac is great for converting to DVD and the iPhone, but how do I get a good quality output to the new iPad? The videos ar grainy to say the least when viewed on the latter.

Hi.
I have the latest version of iMovie but all the video's I want to convert are the 06 iMovie HD. They all export to the iPad but the quality is poor. I imported to the latest iMovie but all it comes up with is to tell me the frames will be blank.
Also the 1080 is grayscaled out. HD iMovie predates the iPad,as you know by many years. But my original and early iMac copes with most things but I guess I must be doing something wrong!

How to down convert iMovie HD imported in Full 1920x1080 to Large 960x540

I have a Canon HD camcorder which captures video in 1080i format. I have been downloading my movies in iMovie using the Full - 1920x1080 option instead of the Large - 960x540 option.
But now I am running out of space!!! Also I don't see a big difference in quality between the two formats.
I want to down convert all my downloaded movies to Large - 960x540 format ... Can someone tell me how to do that in iMovie. I have already deleted the movies in my camcorder. Help!

I don't think that what you're trying to do is possible without reimporting the footage, which I understand is deleted. You can down convert to 540 on export without a problem from 1080, but you original footage will remain 1080.
The good news is external HDs are really cheap these days, so you can pick one up to store your footage with a very minor investment. Now you can switch to importing 540 as Apple recommends and you'll save a ton of space, and processing time, moving forward. As you've already seen, the quality difference is very minimal versus the space and processing cost.

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.

Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

How do I convert old work done with iMovie HD 6 to view/work with iMovie 11 on my new iMac?

How do I convert old work done with iMovie HD 6 to view and work with in iMovie 11 on my new iMac?

If you still have your iMovie 6 project, you can import it using FILE/IMPORT/iMovieHD Project.
If all you have is the finished movie, you can FILE/IMPORT MOVIE.
If your movie is in DV Stream format, it is advisable to convert it to QuickTime MOV container containing DV codec. Otherwise, the import will be chronological by the date and time the clip was shot, rather than in edited order.

How do I convert from imovie to wmv format

how do I convert from imovie to wmv format

Spend some money at http://flip4mac.com and then do some homework regarding exports from iMovie to QuickTime formats.
Then spend some more money to buy the Pro upgrade to QuickTime Player 7 so you can use this third party software (not supported by the newer versions of iMovie).
