How to burn movie with no theme

I would like to burn movie without a theme...can't figure out how. I tried exporting to the desktop and then dragging onto Magic movie, but that still seens to require a theme.

Thanks for replying Showman. I have seen reports on the forum as to a variation to the solution described here, but haven't tried it personally. It doesn't require looping of the movie, but is slightly more involved.
The idea is to use a fairly basic theme, with no animation or music (one of the earlier themes if you have them). Replace the background with a black image and change all text to black. So effectively the theme is completely black. Now use the procedure previously described (which you are familiar with) to automatically play the DVD without seeing a theme (using the first drop box in Map view).
But don't loop the movie. Now when the DVD finishes playing, it will return to the black theme (which is of course the opening menu). If you press Play or Enter it will start playing again, otherwise it will just sit there showing a black screen.
That may be a better alternative for you. I will be interested to see how things go using Final Cut Express' "print to video" in conjunction with One Step DVD.

Burn movie with no theme

I want to burn a movie with no theme but every time I try, it seems to require a theme. I have tried dragging a movie from the desktop to magic DVD and also getting the movie out of the media share are.

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:

Burning movies with chapter markers crash iDVD in snow leopard

Hi Everyone-
When attempting to burn movies that have had chapter markers added in iDVD, my machine will crash during rendering. Removing chapters fixes the problem, but I would like to use that functionality. I've tried the usual fixes (delete plist files, permissions repair, re-install iDVD, re-install snow leopard) with no luck.
Any advice out there?
Thanks

Hi
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
No of Colors - must be set to millions

Idvd can't burn .mov with error message

Hi guys,
I just finished a 57 min. project with Final Cut Express4 containing 8 sequences. I export them separately. I burned them with idvd : File>Export>Quick Time Movie (self contained uncheck), I include Audio & Video as usual and save them in the Movie Folder as .mov; everything goes fine and I can watch them both in computers and TVs. But when I export the entire project with chapter markers (exactly the same way I did for the above), the result is different, and the idvd refuse to burn it, an error message says ”unsupported file type: broken reference movie”. Those exported in separate sequences are shown as .mov with a picture icon in my Movie Folder while the other 2 exported with chapter markers are also shown with .mov but with a QuickTime Movie icon. Although these with Quick Time Movie icon are not accepted by the idvd, I still can burn them through the dvdproj file, but the product can be played with computers only.
I know I must have done something wrong but I don’t know what it’s. Some one is kind enough to help please.
Thank you.

First of all, thank you folks for the responds. I check back as suggested and found the following: -
Hi Al
All the Chapters Markers are more than 2 seconds apart and are more than 2 seconds from start points; all sequences are well butted without any gap in between. However there are markers marked a few frames after the sequences started, which means the previous sequence ended a few frames before the Chapter Markers. If this is overlap, what should I do from here? Please walk me through. Thank you again. puisum
Hi MartinR
I am sure you read my response to Alchroma. You both having valuable points. Now, this is a very good question “if I nest the sequences”. To be honest with you, I am not 100% sure what I did (because this project have been sitting in my computer for 9 months) I but I think I start the entire project with only one sequence at the beginning and I use copy & paste to make the 8 sequences after I put in the chapter makers. At this point, I have found some problems on the Chapter Markers and I am sure Alchroma doesn’t mind to walk me through then I will take it from there. Please don’t give up on me yet. Thank you in anticipation. puisum

How to burn movies

I cannot figure out how to burn a movie. I have some dvd's I would like to copy but cannot figure it out.

If you want to burn a movie you created in iMovie, use iDVD. Apple doesn't sell it any more.
If you are trying to copy an already burned DVD that someone else made, you can use commercial software such as Roxio Toast.
If the DVD is copy protected it cannot be copied.

How to burn movie to dvd from imovie?

How to I burn a home movie from imovie theater to dvd?

Steve Jobs "BluRay is a bag of hurt"
Not if you buy FCPX from them at $300.
Then they will provide you with the ability to burn both DVD and BluRay.
Not dead yet !
The "BluRay is a bag of hurt" is a bunch of hooey.
Apple's business model is for downloaded everything. They don't sell software/movies/music on physical media. It's as simple as that.
I have iTunes, Netflix and Flixster. But the movie watching experience is always vastly superior when I just pop in a Blu-ray and watch my movie in 1080P and 7.1 sound.

How to burn movie onto DVD???

I have made a movie that is about 5 minutes long. All I want to do is burn it onto a DVD so that it plays like a typical DVD movie. In other words, when I insert the DVD into a computer or DVD player, it just plays.
I tried making a Quicktime movie out of it at full quality but when I burned it onto a DVD, all of the text in the titles came out badly jagged. I tried sharing it with iDVD but it wanted me to create themes and other stuff that was way more complex than I wanted.
How do I burn my movie onto a DVD so that it just starts playing on a DVD player or on a computer?
Thank you!

It sounds like you have a burning application besides iDVD. You can skip the Export step by using the existing Quicktime version of your movie to see if that helps your titles (right click your iMovie and Show Package Contents; look in the Shared/iDVD folder and drag that Quicktime movie to the menu area of Roxio Toast or whatever you're using). Small fonts with curly elements don't work well; try a san serif font like Arial or Helvetica and make it large.
Converting video into a format for set-top players is fairly complex work for the computer and some of that requires user decision-making. One idea is to get one of the "Missing Manual" series by David Pogue. You'll get lots of ideas and his explanations are decent. A number of people post here wanting an autoplay DVD -- iDVD can do that, but menus can add another level of enjoyment to your project.

Premiere elements 12: how 2 burn video with menu on avchd disk with 1280x720

Hi, I have a source HD video (from TV) in resolution 1280x720/50. In export presets for avchd disk I only can find presets for 1440x1080 and 1920x1080. I'd like to export this video with menus in 1280x720 which is original resolution to AVCHD disk.
How to handle?
Regards, Juergen

Juegen
No version of Premiere Elements lets you produce a DVD disc with or without menus with AVCHD format of 1280 x 720 at 50 progressive frames per second.
The burn to disc, DVD, AVCHD, and Blu-ray are offered as you found them.
You could burn your Premiere Elements 12 Timeline content to a file AVCHD.mp4 (720p50) via Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with Presets = MP4 - HD 720p50. And, then burn that file to a DVD disc as data disc if the disc capacity allowed. But you would not have any menus. Disc menus are offered only for burn to disc/burn to folder. And, important, stop markers do not function at playback of the Premiere Elements (any version) AVCHD DVD or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc.
Please let us know if you need clarification on anything written.
Thank you.

How to burn DVD with project from iMovie ?

Last year I had made several iMovie projects on a macbook pro. I was unable to burn them to a dvd so I ended up transfering them to a Windows computer and using ImgBurn and I successfully made playable DVDs.
I know have a Mac with Yosemite and I just finished a iMovie project. I need to burn it to a playable DVD. I've spent hours researching and trying to find a way. I have Video_TS and Audio_TS files, an iso file, and a mpg file. Surely, if you are able to create a "movie" there must be an easy way to burn it to a DVD?
If a Superdrive is able to burn DVD's shouldn't there be an option somewhere?
I have iMovie 10.0.6
Yosemite 10.10.1
I do not have iDVD

I solved my own problem. After two full days of trying and having multiple videos files (iso, mp4, mpg,video_ts, audio_ts,etc) I was finally able to burn a playable DVD! I ended up using miDVD to burn it. I first exported my iMovie project as a file and opened up the Movies file and dropped it in there. From there it showed up in the miDVD program and it was super simple to get it burned to a dvd that works in dvd players and on my mac.

How to burn movie files onto a disc for others to use not just watch?

Hi! I used my video camera to record my sister's wedding ceremony and other little clips throughout the day. I want to give her those files to use however she wants. I don't want to edit them or give them to her as a watchable DVD.
I want to be able to burn them onto a DVD-R and then she can upload them onto her computer and edit/manipulate them as she pleases.
Problem is, the ceremony video alone is 9.28 GB! How can I get her these files? Thanks!

Not if any single file is 4GB or larger; this is the size limit for FAT32 drives. The OP stated that one file was 9GB.
Good point - I've kept a small, portable drive formated with FAT32 to transfer an occasional small file to my PC friends.
Mac OS X 10.6.6 can read and write exFAT
Since not all my systems use Snow Leopard, exFAT isn't yet an option for me.
