How to burn a DVD or CD from iMovie format to play in Windows format

I have made three videos of OLD family films and need to be able to burn copies to give as Christmas gifts that will play on standard DVD players and I do not know how to save as a format other than one that only plays in iTunes, etc.
Please let me know if you can help me as I need to produce these discs before next weekend as my family will meet for Thanksgiving to do their Christmas!

Going direct to iDVD works if your source event is DV or AIC. If you start with something else you need to use the Media Browser. Many people feel that the Media Browser h.264 copies give better results than DV directly, but you should test this for yourself and see what works for you.
For example, if you are doing a slide show from iPhoto jpegs, you will not have the option of going directly to iDVD.
There is no particular advantage in sending DV or AIC directly to iDVD, because iMovie must render the movie anyway. There is no such thing in iMovie as "passing through" DV without rendering it.

  • How to burn a DVD-Video out of iMovie without iDVD (pre-installed Lion)?

    I am wondering how I could burn a DVD that works on standalone DVD players out of iMovie since iDVD has been banished from Macs with pre-installed OS X 10.7 Lion.
    When I try to export iMovie projects to iDVD the machine naturally cannot find the program. How is the workaround instead?
    Thx for your help (Mac newbie).

    I have the same issue as olifinger

  • HT1479 I would like to know how to burn a dvd in such a way that each image can be skipped over by pressing the skip button.

    Here's how top get a slideshow that will let the viewer manually control the forward and backward movement of the slides with the forward and back buttons on the DVD remote.
    1 - put the images you want to use in an iPhoto album.
    2 - launch iDVD, select a theme and add a slideshow using the "+" button at the bottom:
    3 - click on the Media button at the lower right hand corner of the window and then click on the Photos button.
    4 - locate the iPhoto album containing your photos and drag it into the left hand pane:
    5 - select Side Duration to Manual.
    In order to get the maximum manual control of the slides you cannot have add any music to the slideshow.  If you do add music the slideshow will continue you advance unless you pause the slideshow and/or use the advance/back buttons and then pause.
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

    Insert a blank disc into the optical drive.  choose Open Finder from the pop-up menu. The disc appears on your desktop.
    Double-click the disc to open then drag the files and folders you want to burn to the window.
    Arrange and rename the files if needed.
    Choose File > Burn and follow the instructions.

  • Why can't I burn a DVD of photos from my iPhoto that will be viewable on a Windows computer?

    Why can't I burn a DVD of photos from my iphotos that will be viewable on a PC using windows?

    Darned if I know. What exactly are you doing?
    The general answer is to select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder (file menu ==> export). In the finder right click on that folder and burn to disk

  • 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 to burn a DVD with other DVD??

    I'm new using the Mac OS. I don't know how to burn a DVD using another DVD, I try using the programs iDVD and iMovie HD but I think that they are for DVD creation, not for burning using another DVD
    Thanks

    You can also donate to Mac the Ripper for version 3.0 beta. It has alot of new features that are pretty cool. Here is a link that shows some of the new stuff.

  • How to burn a DVD with two audio track?

    There is a projet with the original video and a second audio track with music. I want to burn a DVD with both audio tracks. When playing the DVD you should be able to select audio track 1 (the original sound) or audio track 2 (the music). With Adobe Encore DVD it was easy to configure the two audio tracks and burn the DVD. It is posible to do the same from Adobe Premier Elements 11?
    Thanks,
    Jordi

    Welcome to the forum.
    Unfortunately, PrE does not allow for supplemental Audio Tracks, when authoring.
    I use Adobe Encore for this, but it is only available bundled with Premiere Pro. I do not know if some other, third party, full-featured authoring apps., like Sony's DVD Architect can do that, but I would suspect that they can. The specifications for DVD Architect should have that information, and as it's quite common in full-featured authoring apps., I anticipate that it has that capability.
    If you do go with that program, our MOD, Steve Grisetti, has written a very good book on DVD Architect, and it's available at Muvipix.com.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • How can I make a still photo from imovie

    How can I make a still photo from imovie?

    Let's assume you have iMovie 11 (Version 9). (If you have a different version, let me know. The instructions will be different.)
    First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
    Open MPEG Streamclip.
    In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
    Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
    In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
    In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
    Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
    You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.
    I have created a short video Tutorial on how to do this. There is one error in the Tutorial, where it says that Command-click is the same as right-click. I should have said Control-click instead.

  • How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?

    How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?  (The clips are in a .mov format, they have been imported / converted into this format in iMovie, original files were from a JVC camcorder in some other strange format.)

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!" 

  • What is the best way to copy a DVD i made from iMovie?  It was HD720 and I don't want to lose any quality in the copies.

    What is the best way to copy a DVD I made from iMovie?  It was HD720 and I don't want to lose any quality in the copies.  I need to distribute it to about 20 people. It's 42 minutes long.

    You will need to save it as a video to the camera roll.
    Import it into windows as you would a photo.
    Then purchase DVD authoring software, and create a DVD.

  • How do I transfer a voice memo from my Ipod touch to my windows 8 laptop please?

    How do I transfer a voice memo from my Ipod touch to my windows 8 PC please?

    Hi its pretty simple. So
    *First download the latest iTunes version and install it on the PC.
    *Plug in your Apple Device to your PC
    *The iTunes window will automatically pop up when you have connected your device, if it doesnt happen , open iTunes manually.
    *Choose Your device and there it would show you the "Summary","Apps", "Music","Movies" etc etc..
    *Go to Music and click on the option "Sync Music"
    *When you tick that option , the other options would be enabled.They are the "Entire Library", "Selected Playlists...", "include music videos", "include voice memos".
    *Tick only "Include voice memos"
    *Now it should start syncing and show you a separate folder saying Voice Memos on the Left side where all your other folders are there on itunes page.
    *You can access those audio files by going to the C:_Users*_My Music_iTunes_iTunes media_Voice Memos!!
    NOTE: IF THOSE VOICE MEMOS DONT GET TRANSFERRED TO YOUR PC , THEN IN YOUR DEVICE , NAME ALL YOUR VOICE MEMOS AND THEN TRY THE WHOLE PROCESS AGAIN.
    NO NEED TO BE DOWNLOADING THE ITUNES AGAIN AND AGAIN.
    Hope this helps You
