How do I transfer my iMovie to a DVD on a pc?

Hi,
I made a movie on iMovie and would like to transfer it to a DVD so I can give it as a gift to my friend but I can't figure it out. I have a PC, not sure if this makes things more difficult but I do know people with Macs if need be. I don't need the video to be fancy, I didn't edit the clips just put them all together in one. Is there a way to do this without spending a fortune? I dont plan to do this often...or can I bring it to somewhere to have them do it??

What version of iMovie are you using?  I'm basing my responses on '09 (rev.8.0.6).  Looking at some posts, if it's '11 (rev. 8.0.7+) then you may be able to send it to iTunes and then covert it to MP4 format.

    How do I transfer an iMovie from an external hard drive to my macbook pro iMovie 11?

    The easiest way would be to just attach the external drive to the MacBook Pro. iMovie should see it next time you open iMovie.
    If you are going for portability, you can attach the external drive to the MacBook Pro. Then open iMovie.
    Then click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK. You should see your external drive listed in the Project Library and the Event Library.
    To make a COPY just drag the icon for your project to the icon for the external drive in the Project Library List.
    To MOVE it, hold down the command key while you drag.
    If you want to edit the project, you will also want any Events, Photos, or Music referenced in the Project. To get those, click on the Project to select it (it is now on the MacBook Pro) and click FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA.

    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

    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 I transfer an imovie project on one mac to another mac?

    I need to get an iMovie HD project from another Mac onto my machine to continue editing in iMovie HD 6 - some sound issues that need resolving. How can I transfer the project? The original project is too large to fit on a DVD (Dual layer). Will I have to connect both machines via ethernet and physically transfer it? If so, how do I do this - I need to have an exact clone of the project (all titles, separated audio etc...). Please help!

    'til vers6, an iM project is a 'solid' package, a single file you can easily transfer from one Mac to another.. establish a local network (ethernet, firewire or wlan/airport), allow one machine access to the other and simply drag'n drop project file (has a star as icon) onto other Mac ...
    I like the socalled 'Target Mode', MacOs allows: connect both machines by firewire, launch one Mac and hold the T key .. now, Mac is a firewire-drive, you can access as 'external harddrive' by other Mac .

  • How do I transfer an imovie from one mac to another and be able to edit it?

    I need to transfer an iMovie project from another mac onto mine and be able to edit it in its components...help!

    Hi Brittani,
    Try connecting the other Mac via FireWire Target Disk Mode (make it the target) http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661.
    Then open iMovie on your Mac (the Host). Go to File menu > Import Movies > navigate the the movie you want to import from the other Mac and click Import.

  • How do I transfer an IMOVIE show from one Mac to a diff Mac?

    I was wondering if there was a way that I could transfer an IMOVIE show I made on a school eMAC to my Mini Mac at home? Or do I can I do it through an ethernet cable? Or is that impossible? Thanks!!

    Hi KC,
    welcome to this forum
    ...Or do I can I do it through an ethernet cable?...simple answer: yes exactly! get your mini besides your emac (ok, you need a monitor and a keyboard too), connect both with an ethernet cable(even a firewire cabel would work!), establish a little network, drag project from A to B...... easy as that!
    or, forget the "network thing", connect them with a firewirecable and restart the emac and press the T-key on its keaboard. now, the emac is just another external drive, you see in the finder of your mini...... (hopefully, the admin of your school's mac allows such a procedure)

  • 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.

  • How do I export an IMovie to a dvd that will read on a DVD video player?

    How do I export an iMovie '13 to a dvd that will read on a DVD video player?

    Use iDVD to do it. Select and click "Share" at the top of the window in the menu bar of iMovie, and you can find "iDVD". But  have you got iDVD installed on your Mac? If not, please check https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4821 to reinstall it. If you have no iDVD installed and don't want to reinstall it either, you can use other DVD creator software to help you burn iMovie to DVD.

  • How do I burn an imovie to a DVD so I can play it on my TV DVD?

    I burned it onto a dvd but it doesn't work because the file isn't recognized by my dvd player.  It's a MOV file.  I don't know how to save it in a format my dvd player will recognize.
    Thank you

    I don't know how to save it in a format my dvd player will recognize.
    I do!
    Use 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.
    IDVD is easy to get. It is available on disk ONLY as part of iLife 11.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.
