How to burn an iMovie project to a DVD

I have created a movie using iMovie version 10.0 6.  I have iDVD version 7.1.2.  The only "sharing" in this version of iMovie are Theater, Email, iTunes, You Tube, Facebook, Vimeo, CNN Rept, File and Image.  There is no export button, no media browser and no iDVD.  How can I get the movie project out of iMovie and into iDVD so I can burn it to a DVD?

iMovie 10 is not very good for making DVDs.  My favorite is iMovie HD 06, or iMovie 11.   With iMovie HD 06, 1 click and you are sharing with iDVD. Moreover, one click will allow you to create chapter markers that are automatically recognized by iDVD.   Apple removed the ability to create chapter markers in iMovie 10. IMovie HD 06 is readily available on Amazon as part of iLife 06. It does cost more, but worth every penny.

Share ➙ iDVD method works with older, (better) iMovie versions. 
In iMovie 10:  You want to use the Share  ➙ Media Browser method and then access the movie in iDVD via the Media Browser.  But you will not be able to create chapter markers.

    Macs don't come bundled with iDVD anymore. If you have an older Mac that came with an iLife disk, you can install iDVD from that.
    If your Mac didn't come with iDVD, you can still find iLife '11 disks in some stores.
    There are other programs that can create DVDs, but I've never used them. From what I've heard, they're not as good as iDVD.

  • Burn multiple imovie projects to one dvd with menu

    How do i burn multiple Imovie projects to one dvd with roxio toast 10? Can i add all of the projects or do i need to export them as a quicktime movie first or something?

    You can share the first movie from iMovie, but all the others will need to be exported from iMovie as movies and dragged into the iMovie project.

  • Everytime I try to burn an iMovie project to a DVD with iDVD, the disc is ejected during the Burning and Multiplexing phase before it's completed.

    For months I have been unable to burn any iMovie project to a DVD using iDVD.  During the Burning and Multiplexing phase the disc is ejected before it's complete.  I went the Genius Bar and after many tests I was told that my disc drive was pretty much dead.  The person that helped recommended that I buy an external DVD burner from amazon.  I bought the new drive and I can now burn files, but I'm still encountering the same issue burning a movie.  Does anyone have any idea what'g going on?  I'm extremely frustrated at this point!

    Read this treatise on Multiplexing by  Bengt Wärleby: HT1645 I was burning a DVD and the...: Apple Support Communities.
    Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
    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.

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iMovie. There's a iMovie Support Community where everybody uses iMovie. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.   https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie

  • I just want to burn my imovie project to a dvd.  I have a macbook pro with retina display, the most recent update of imovie and mountain lion.

    I can't seem to figure out how to burn my imovie to a dvd.  I have an external optical superdrive and blank dvds.  Is there a way to do it without downloading lots of other apps/software?  I bought a macbook instead of pc because I wanted the video/photo editing, I'll be disappointed if there isn't a convinent way to turn them into a hard copy dvd to share with family and friends.

    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?

  • How do you burn an iMovie project to a DVD without using iDVD themes?

    I created a presentation (slide show with music) in iMovie and need to burn it to a DVD.  When I pull it into iDVD, it forces me to pick a theme which puts more music in.  I just want it the way I have it in iMovie!  How do I do that?

    (From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
    How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
    1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
    2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
    3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
    Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
    4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
    5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
    Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
    • create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
    • Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
    • Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
    • Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
    • Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
    • Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
    • Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
    http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
    Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results.  That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option.  Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do I burn an iMovie project onto a DVD?

    I have recently completed an iMovie project, and I want to burn the project onto a DVD. I have exported the project and burnt it, but it only opens with iTunes and Quicktime, and I was hoping to play the movie on a DVD player. I am desperate and need assistance ASAP !!

    When in iMovie, click Share then iDVD. In iDVD you can customize your dvd menu. After you are done, then click File, Burn DVD or ⌘+R. And it will ask you to insert your blank disk and then it will start burning. After it has completed the burn, it will ask you if you want to make another disk (if you want multiple copies). Your movie should then be viewable on any DVD player.

  • How to fit an iMovie project in one DVD

    How can I tell if an iMovie Project will fit in one DVD using iDVD?

    If it's just under 2 hours long ..it'll fit. (If it's just under 1 hour long it'll fit, and possibly appear to have slightly higher quality.)
    iDVD compresses video for duration, rather than anything to do with file size.

  • 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.

  • In Lion, how do I burn a iMovie project to a DVD?

    I'm try to burn the project I made in iMovie to a DVD for playback on a DVD player, I have the new Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro. How do I burn a dvd from the project in iMovie?

    Yes, iDVD is probably best for you.  Toast is also good, but if you are on a budget, Burn is a free download:

    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.
    AppleMan1958
    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 burn an iMovie project to disk?

    Plze can someone tell me how i go about burning my imovie project to disc?
    Im lost,I just dont no how to get it done,THANKU

    Hi
    AND
    If You want quality - then iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 are not the tool of choise when doing a DVD
    due to that they discard every second line resulting in less sharpness - low quality.
    Tools to use are
    • iMovie up to HD6 - or -
    • FinalCut
    iDVD does SD-DVD standard - there are no HD in DVD-standard ! at all.
    I do
    • use Verbatim DVD-R
    • set down burn speed to x4 (or x1)
    • secure a minimum of 25Gb on Start-up hard disk to let iDVD and Mac OS run OK
    other thing that are relevant to quality is
    • video file type - some are worse than others
    • audio file types - I only use .aiff 16-bit 49kHz or from Audio-CD 44.1kHz (NO .mp3)
    • photos - .jpgs (NO .bmp - they go red)
    Yours Bengt W
