If you are still within your 15 day return period. Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge. (There are no realistic substitutes.)
Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.

If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

Apple tell me iDVD is not supported anymore
IDVD is very popular in the Apple community. The latest Macintoshes and Mac OSs are tested for compatibility with iDVD.

Hello everybody i have a quick question. I can't figure out how to burn a imovie project to dvd. Looked through all the menus share menu in particular. Couldn't find anything to export to a dvd. Searched through the help and i couldnt find anything. Thanks

Hi
I would try:
• Share -> down to second line Media-publisher (?)
• I would select Large
Then close iMovie
Open iDVD and see if I can localize the movie under Media.

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 to burn iMovie '11 to DVD

having trouble doing this
what do I export it as?
can i have imovie '11 and imovie '09 on computer
at the same time?
I have tried almost every export method to Toast, Burn, miDVD
with no luck.
can I export and burn a DVD from imovie '11?
Deb
thx

Well, I don't think you can have iMovie 11 and iMovie 9 at the same time. iDVD should gonna help, but iDVD seems to be excluded from Lion. I guess you can only use other DVD burning program to make it. Maybe this tutorial can help you out: http://www.iorgsoft.com/dvd-maker/convert-imovie-to-dvd-on-mac.html. To burn iMovie to DVD, you need to first export iMovie project to videos. When an iMovie project is completed, select it and click "Share" at the top of the window in the Menu bar and choose "Export Movie...". And then you can use DVD burning software to help you. Good luck.

Can't burn imovie project to DVD

I am using my sony video camcorder to import to imovie. That was a success and I was able to export the video to iDVD, but it will not let me burn to a DVD. It says that the file is too large to record on a single layer disc and i need to insert a double layer disc. How is it not able to burn when a DVD can record 120 minutes, and mine is 1 hour and 55 minutes? I tried to save as disk image so I could burn it on toast, but it wont let me do that either.

First off, in the preference setting, you have to change from the default setting of Best Performance (60 minutes max) to Best Quality (120 minutes max) to allow the full two hour time span for an iDVD project.
Second, that 120 minutes includes everything, iDVD menus, music, motion, slideshows, etc. not just the movie itself. So with a movie that is 115 minutes long, you only have 5 minutes for menu and iDVD slide shows and stuff like that. Drop in a few menus each with a 2-minute song and you easily blow past the 120 minute mark.

Burning imovie projects to dvd as files

If I use the disc utility to burn a movie project or .dv file ( 6.5 gigs ) to a dvd (dual layer) as a file not a viewable dvd, just as storage, will I loose any quality of the video, I am positive that I would not just want to be sure.

Data transferred to a DVD as one or more files is copied exactly; nothing is lost from the files themselves.

Burn iMovie project to DVD

Previously I have been using iLife 11 and particularly liked the iDvd option as I could burn to a DVD to share with brides and grooms.
Is there a way in iMovie which is now on my MacBook Pro, to burn to DVD rather than just have a nice movie to play from my laptop?
Feeling stupid.
Hoping someone can help.

See Karsten's post here for several options.

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.

DVD Studio Pro 4 "Formatting Failed, One of the volumes on the disc is still in use." How do I fix this to burn a project to DVD?

Trying to burn a project to DVD but get this error message: "Formatting Failed, One of the volumes on the disc is still in use."
How can I fix this?
Thank you for the help!

what does this mean?
You have a disc inside your optical drive.
Not sure what they mean by volume still in use, this apparentely is keeping me from burning info such a pictures and or video's,
how can I fix this?
Remove the extra disc.
My answers are basic because:
You never told us which model iMac you have?
How you are burning? Through iMac? External burner?
Which OS you are currently using?

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.

You can't use iMovie to create a video DVD - for that you need iDVD:

I cannot get iDVD, what is the best alternative app to enable me to burn my projects to DVD?

I cannot get iDVD, what is the best alternative app to enable me to burn my iMovie projects to DVD? why do Apple think that no one needs to burn DVDs?

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
Apple insists that the entire world has access to fast broadband (and are prepared to pay for the considerable bandwidth usage) and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud, YouTube, Facebook, whatever) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. Stating that they would return their brand new Mac unless they received a copy of iDVD worked for some, but that is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between burning DVDs and distributing home movies by other means:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.
And if you think Microsoft are any better, their new Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced: http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/
In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that. Flexibility and intuitive use of a computer seems to be a thing of the past.
