How do I make a DVD from a video I have in iMovie?

I have a video that I shot using a Sony Handycam and imported to iMovie. Problem is, I want to make a DVD and don't know how to proceed. I have a Macbook Pro that I got new last year and only have the s/w that came with it.

Here is a user tip that lays out your options.

HOW CAN I MAKE A DVD FROM MY VIDEOS AND PHOTOS?

I have videos and photos in iphoto and want to make a presentation that will include photos intersperced with video. Is that possible? If so please advise. Not a high-tech kind of person

I've never done it with videos on iPhoto, so I'm not sure. You can certainly do it in iMovie.
Do you want it to play on a DVD player? If so, you'll need a DVD authoring program like iDVD. Older Macs shipped with iDVD, likely on a separate iLife '11 disk. Recently, Apple stopped bundling iDVD. If you have iDVD, once you finish the slideshow in either iPhoto or iMovie, Share it to iDVD. From there, you can pick a theme and add menus and such.

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 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 make a dvd from my iphone videos

Would love to make a dvd of my iphone videos. Have tried Roxio but my videos are rotated during transfer and can't rotate them back. I tried windows dvd maker and says it doesn't support the file type of my videos. Any ideas?

If you have a Mac, you can use iDVD or iPhoto.
If you have a PC, you can try Windows DVD maker.
Windows DVD Maker is included in premium editions (Home Premium and Ultimate) of Windows Vista, and Windows 7

Unable to make a DVD from a book I have made in I-photo 09

Hi.
I have just loaded i-life 09 and seem unable to make a dvd of books I have made in I-photo.
This was a straight forward process with i-photo 08.
It is as if it tries to pull one image only from the album.
I generally make the book up, go to Share... click Send to I-dvd, and then it all loads up from there.
I then create the finished dvd, of the book already made.
This does not happen now.
It tries to up load and comes up with preparing or sending to I dvd, but does nothing from that point, where it used to before.
I can only think it is a glitch with i life 09.
Is there a fix out there!!
Thanks in advance.

I can't answer your question, but maybe you can help me as you say it is easy to transfer an iphoto08 slideshow to idvd and burn it. I transferred the slide show OK and its name appeared on the idvd main page but when I selected it and burned it I got only a burn of the default first idvd page with the rotating theme and the name of my slideshow on it! The slideshow did look correct when I doubleclicked on it and it played in Preview. How do i get it to burn?

OK, I have a .mov and .ac3 file output by Compressor. How do I make a DVD from these?

I'd like to use Toast 8 but I don't know where to drag the files...Toast help is no help at all...

First off, you should have compressor turn your .mov into an mpeg-2 file with an .ac3 file. Once you've done this, you simply select the Video button in Toast (I'm on Toast 10, but I think 8 was the same). Next select your Menu style from Toast and type in your DVD name. Finally drag your mpeg-2 file over into the Toast window. It will then ask you "do you have audio for this file?". Drag the .ac3 file over and have it burn the DVD. If you've done everything correctly it shouldn't re-encode your video, but simply add the menu to your already encoded files.
As an alternative, you could have Toast do the encoding as well. If you choose this route, you simply drag your original .mov video file over to the Video window. At this point there are some choices you need to make about how Toast will do the encoding. This way takes longer as Toast has to encode both your video and the menu you created.

How do i make a dvd from an iphoto slideshow?

I've got a slide show established in iphoto. It's complete with music. What's the simplest way to get it onto a dvd so I can show it at a party for my parent's 50th anniversary? The guy supplying the projector said it has to be a DVD.

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 retailer 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.
If you want to create a very, simple video DVD there are numerous DVD authoring apps available thru the App Store. You'll also need an external optical drive.
You might consider going the YouTube route. Would be a lot simpler and less costly. Just send them the link for sharing to those you want to view them in an email like this link: http://youtu.be/cObDX_kG7XI?list=UUzY8vgMAs4KTYuFmUn9wYMA

How do I make a DVD from an Aperture 3 slideshow?

I am a new user to Aperture 3 and I was wondering if an Aperture slideshow (with video) can be exported to iMovie or IDVD so I can burn it to a disk? I see the information for viewing it on the iPhone or MobileMe but I didn't see anything indicating I could burn it to a DVD.

Hi Terence,
I'm trying to do the same thing, but I don't see the option for Quicktime?
I see:
ipod
Iphone/Ipod Touch
mobile me/youtube
appletv
hd 720
hd1080
and custom, which has h.264 and mpeg4
I don't see any options for a NTSC 16:9 uncompressed quicktime file which I can export to compressor for DVD compression before dropping into DVD Studio Pro?
I must be missing a step?
Cheers and thanks in advance for any help.

How can I make a DVD of a slideshow I have in iPhoto?c

I have created a slideshow in iPhoto using the Vintage theme. I want to burn this slideshow to a DVD for viewing at my Grandma's funeral. After creating the slideshow, I clicked on the "Export" tab at the bottom in the toolbar, then I clicked on "Share" to iDVD from the dropdown menu. After several minutes , I check iDVD but the slideshow is not there.
Can someone please tell me how to burn my slideshow to a DVD? I've done it before using iMovie '09 (I think), but I can't seem to get it with iMovie '11. I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8
Thank you for your help,
Curtis

I thinnk I figured it out! After exporting the movie it went into a folder called iPhoto Slideshows. It was saved as an mwv.4 file, so I went to iMovie and went to the file dropdown menu and went to import movie. I located the movie with the Finder box and imported it into iMovie.
From there I can share it thru the Media Browser link under the Share Menu to iDVD and burn the slideshow.
