How do I transfer iMovie Project to DVD

I have iMovie 11 and want to transfer a project to DVD and watch the movie on TV. I am using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4. What is my best option now that iDVD is not available.
Thanks.

Burn  is mentioned as a free option. Here is more on how to use Burn.

  • How do I transfer iMovie projects to dvd if I don't have iDVD?

    I compile a year's worth of home movie clips into one DVD every year to distribute to grandparents. I had used my mom's Mac that had iMovie and iDVD but finally bought my own macbook pro so I could do the project from the comfort of my own home. What a surprise that when I finished this year's movie in iMovie, I couldn't transfer it to a dvd!!! Any suggestions?

    Hi
    or in my words
    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

  • How do I transfer imovie projects and events to new mac from external hard drive

    bought a  macbook pro retina.  backed up 3yr old macbook pro to external hard drive.  how do I transfer imovie projects and events to new mac?  thanks!

    Hi dalbatross,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Did you set up your new computer by creating a Time Machine backup and restoring from it?
    If so, the Events and Projects that were on your internal Macintosh HD would copied to your new computer.
    Here is another way to copy the events & projects to the new computer from the external drive:
    iMovie Help: Work with multiple libraries
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov3fa25bae7
    Copy or move projects, events, or clips between libraries or hard disks
    Connect a hard disk that contains the target library to your computer, or copy the target library to your computer.
    Choose File > Open Library, and choose an option from the submenu.You can choose from recently opened libraries at the top of the submenu, locate an existing library on your computer, or create a new library.
    The selected library is opened in the Libraries list, with the first event selected and its contents displayed in the browser.
    In the Libraries list, select the event that contains the item you want to move or copy.
    In the browser, select the item you want to move or copy.Note:  To select multiple items, hold down the Command key as you click the items you want to select, or drag a selection rectangle around the items.
    Do one of the following:
    To move items between events or libraries: Drag the clip or project to another event or library.
    To copy items between events or libraries: Option-drag the clip or project to another event or library by first starting to drag and then holding down the Option key as you drag.
    Cheers,
    - Judy

  • How do I burn iMovie project to DVD , Maverick.

    Please someone tell me how to burn a iMovie project on IDVD? i am on Maverick.

    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

    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.

  • How do I transfer imovie projects done on OS 10.4 to 10.8?

    My 2000 mac mini fried and I am now trying to transfer imovie projects done in OS 10.4 to Mountain Lion. The projects have the .imovieproj  tag and I can see the files in the finder but the new imovies won't let me select and open them.
    Help would be appreciated.
    Also, I have old idvd projects that I assume are now useless on the new maching, any thoughts?
    Thank you.

    Sorry, my mistake it was a 2005 mac mini not 2000, it just seems like forever.

  • How to burn my iMovie project to DVD

    I used to use iDVD but it doesn't seem to work with iMovie 10.0.6. How can I burn to DVD?

    Bear in mind, the latest version of iMovie had the ability to create chapter markers removed.  In part, that is why I use iMovie HD.
    But for iMovie 10 do this:
    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.
    You can still set chapters using iDVD but it's a little harder.

  • How to play an Imovie project on DVD player

    I used to use iDVD to create slideshows that I could then play on a television using a DVD player.  Now that iDVD is not supported, I am trying to use iMOVIE.  I was able to create the DVD, but it will only play in a mac or pc.  Not in a DVD.  What can I do?

    If it can be played well on the computer, but not the DVD Player, it can be due to the incompatibility between the disc and the DVD player. Here are some tips for you:
    1.Choose a suitable disc, which is compatible with your DVD Player or you can go to this website for help: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers
    2. Change another brand of the blank disc to have a try. And please make sure the DVD is created in the same TV standard with the DVD player.

  • How do i transfer a project to a cd for further mastering?

    i know this is a simple question but how do i transfer a project to a cd or dvd-r for further mastering?also i am thinking about getting a macbook and am wondering how i would transfer my work in logic 8 on the imac to a brand new macbook?

    Hi,
    1st: If you want to give your project to a studio, give them the whole Logic Project if they have logic, too. Once it is bounced, they can't to more than tweak the final mix.
    If you have to bounce it for the studio, bounce it with 24 bit PCM and inportant : Do not use dithering! This step will added by the studio after mastering.
    2nd: To export a project, make shure all Audio, Samples and all these things are saved inside the project folder. There is an option in the preferences when you make a new project. Try this out.

  • Backup iMovie projects to DVD

    I would like to back up 1 to 2 hours of a iMovie project to DVD. I am bying Toast that I am told can back up large projects spanning disks, I have Dual layer Lacie burner, What is the Max that I can Span and what volume can I store on a dual layer disk? How comon are the Dual layer disks?

    You can fit around 8.5GB on a dual layer disc, which is about 40 minutes of DV video.
    You can fit around 4.4GB on a single layer disc, which is about 20 minutes of DV video.
    FYI: A dual layer disc costs much more than twice the price of single layer discs.

    I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?  Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

    This should give you some good insight, I'd probably store them on an External HD on the old machine and then just drag and drop to the new machine.
