How do I put an iMovie onto a DVD?

How do I put an iMovie onto a DVD to share with others? Mac OS x Lion operating system. iMovie ... not 2011!

Hi
Do not use - Share to iDVD - if You want any kind of Good DVD as this gives poor result BUT
• Share to Media Browser - and as Large - Not HD or other resolution as this too costs in quality.
• in iDVD im port it from Media button (down right) / Movies
Use good brand DVDs - I do
• use Verbatim
• DVD-R (as they work on more and even older DVD-players
• burn speed set down to x2 - x4
By using
• iMovie HD6 or
• FinalCut
You get an even better resulting DVD
Yours Bengt W

How do I save an iMovie onto a dvd?

I am trying to save an imovie onto a dvd to play at a later date. I have tried Burn and it doesn't let me highlight the project in imovies and ilife or idvd is not for sale in the app store. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

You need to export the movie first before it can be used in a DVD authoring program (such as Burn or iDVD).
With your project open go to iMovie's menu and select File > Share > File. This will produce a file in H.264 format which will be suitable for burning and for playback on DVD players.
I'm assuming that you are using iMovie 10 (the latest 2013 version). If not, a similar method applies to iMovie '11 and earlier versions. Please post back if you need further instructions about this.

HT1338 how do I burn an iMovie onto a DVD without iDVD?

I created a movie in iMovie and now I can't seem to figure out how to burn it onto a DVD. Someone suggested I download xilisoft dvd creator but it's 40 bucks so I was looking for a cheaper (but reliable) alternative. Thanks!

This is a good one too. hope it could help you.

Tutorial: Burning QuickTime Movies to a DVD using the Burn utility.
Here is a quick 3 step tutorial on how to burn a QuickTime movie into a self-playing DVD.
Step 1: Click the Video tab and name your DVD.
Launch the Burn utility, and in the main window:
Select the Video tab.
Name your DVD
Choose "DVD" from the pop-up menu.
Step 2: Drag your QuickTime movies into the file list.
Drag some video files right into the Burn file list. Most video files are supported, however some protected QuickTime files may not work. If they are not in the correct format for DVD, Burn will ask to convert them to the right format. Most of your movies will require conversion.
Once you click "Yes" you'll be prompted to tell Burn where you want to save the converted movies. In that save dialog box, in you live in North America, make sure the NTSC format is selected (Read about PAL format).
Note: This conversion process can take some time depending on the size of your movie, and the speed of your Mac.
Step 3: Click the Burn button and insert a blank DVD.
Your computer will display a dialog indicating the DVD is burning. When it's done, eject the disc and try it out in your TV's DVD player.
Enjoy.

trying to burn a iMovie project to DVD
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.
With iDVD you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.

How do I put an iMovie project on DVD? Cannot find iDVD...

I'm new to Mac. I created a project in iMovie. When I tried to share it to iDVD, it says cannot find iDVD. How do I write a movie project to DVD?

It's now confirmed that iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
HOWEVER, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still currently available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.
You might try the approach that Ziatron gives in his post in this topic to obtain a free copy: New Macbook Pro w/iLife - No iDVD: Apple Support Communities. If you're unsuccessful you can purchase the iLife disk from the link above.
OT

With iDVD no longer available (ahhh) how do I burn my iMovie onto a DVD so will play on a DVD player? Apple says to get a 3rd party software. Anyone have a recommendation?

Please someone help me find a software to burn iMovies on DVD so will play on DVD player. I'm so frustrated that this new iMAC doesn't have a program to do this. Thanks!!

I'm so frustrated that this new iMAC doesn't have a program to do this.
Tell Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
IDVD is included with iLife 11 ON DISK.
For making movies there is no alternative or substitute for iDVD. (Buy it while you still can.)
I've tried Burn and Toast and many others, iDVD is by far the best.

For the best quality, I use iMovie 06 with iDVD 11.

How do I fit my iMovie onto iDVD

I am trying to make a DVD. I set up the DVD ready to import my iMovie. I realized my movie is 27.8 GB because of all the clips! I compressed the movie to quick time (.mov) and it says 981.2 MB on disk. I then try putting this onto the iDVD, but it says it's still too big! And with it compressed this small form it's original size, it looks terrible. How do professional movies get burned onto a DVD and have it great quality? How can I make my movie still look good, but fit onto a 4.7 GB blank DVD+R, just like people burn real movies onto these exact same blank DVDs, but they look good?

While in iMovie HD, use the send to iDVD button. Customize the iDVD project. Keep the iMovie HD project under 2 hours unless you have anew Mac that can burn DL DVDs.
Use Verbatim DVD-R for best results.

Downloaded what? No idea what you're talking about.
Please have your keyboard checked. It seems the punctuation keys are not functioning, making it difficult to read your post.

how do i put my photos onto a usb stick

If they're stored as loose files, drag them there.
If they're part of an iPhoto library, open iPhoto and export them to a location on it. If the drive's formatted as Mac OS Extended and has enough space, you can instead drag-copy the entire iPhoto library to it in the Finder.

Pretty basic this, but I'm a total beginner. Can anyone tell me (in simple steps!) how I burn a movie I bought in iMovies onto a DVD? After I stick the DVD in, what happens then? Sorry about the unsophisticated question. Thanks.

How can I put an image onto a postcard format?

How can I put an image onto a postcard format?

By postcard format do you mean crop the picture into a postcard shape?
If so, here is one way: Activate the Rectangular Marque tool. Set Style to Fixed Aspect Ratio, and enter the dimensions for Width & Height. In this example I used a standard postcard size of 6" x 4.25". Open your picture, draw out the rectangle, and Image > Crop. The picture will now be in the 6 x 4.25 proportion.
To get it to the actual 6" x 4.25" size, do Image > Resize > Image Size. Check the Constrain Proportions Box, and enter either the true Width or Height; the other dimension will change accordingly.
If this is not what you are trying to do, please be more specific.

How do I burn a video onto a dvd out of imovie 11?

How do I burn a video onto a dvd out of imovie 11?

Here is a step by step on how to create a DVD from iMovie 10 using iDVD 7.1.2. If you do not have iDVD, you can probably substitute Toast (or one of the programs Pieter mentioned) everywhere I used iDVD (I don't have Toast so can't verify this).
1. Create a project in iMovie 10.0.1
2. Go to File>Share>File... and for Size choose Large 540P (960 x 540) and click Next
3. Choose a location on the hard drive to save the file to.
4. Wait for the blue circle activity indicator to finish.
5. In Finder, verify that iMovie created an MP4 file in the location specified in step 3.
6. Open iDVD and click "Create New Project."
7. Give the project a name and save it to your hard drive.
8. Drag the file you created earlier from the Finder into your iDVD project window.
(or go to File>Import>Video... and choose your video there)
9. Make any adjustments to drop zones, etc.
10. Click the burn button.
11. Insert a DVD and let it do its thing.
This produces a working DVD for me.
Here are my software specs:
OS X 10.9 Mavericks
iMovie 10.0.1
iDVD 7.1.2

How do I put my wmv files to DVD so I can watch them?

Ok, how do I put my wmv files on DVD so I can watch them?
Would I have to convert it to an mpeg file ? If I do, what are good freeware software to use? Thanks

You could try the free ffmpegX (http://ffmpegx.com/index.html), which is a highly flexible video converter/encoder (and I believe does WMV as well)... it does require the installation of some UNIX components, however I think this is done through the self-installer.
