How to I burn an imovie for playback on DVD?

I'm brand new to MacBook and imovie. I created a movie burned it a DVD, but it won't play on my DVD player. What is the correct process for burning an imovie project for playback on DVD player?

If you like to make DVDs, give iMovie 06 a try.
I use both iMovie 08 and iMovie 06, if I want to make a DVD I prefer iMovie 06. iMovie 08 is not as DVD friendly as iMovie 06.
iMovie 08 has replaced "Share to iDVD" with "Share to media browser". Also iMovie 08 cannot set chapter markers, this has to be done with another program.
When using iMovie 06, one mouse click will set a chapter marker EXACTLY where you specify. In just a few seconds set all your chapter markers. When you are done editing just "share to iDVD 08" and all of your chapter markers will be there!
iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 is a terrific combination.
Apple includes iMovie 06 as a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)

  • 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:

  • 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 my imovies (imovie11) to a dvd

    I have sevral movies on imovie11.  When I upgraded to osx most of my imovies were gone.  Somehow in the search on the top right I was able to open imovie11.  Now all I want to do is burn these movies to a dvd.  How do I do this?  I dont have idvd on my mac.  Should it really be this difficult? 

    Personally, I use iMovie to edit my home movies, then I use Burn to burn it to a disk. Burn will automatically set the necessary files and everything for you too! Just drag and drop, and click burn.

  • How do I burn an iMovie in standard movie DVD format in Lion?

    I recently purchased a 27" iMac.  The first thing I did with it was put together an iMovie using clips and pics pf the 2011 Old Time Fidler's Convention in Galax, Va.  This was a learning experience as this is my first Mac.  I figured out iMovie, got the movie put together and then went to burn a movie DVD to send to my cousin (who went there with me). I clicked on share and then on iDVD only to be told that iDVD was not on my machine.  Why would iDVD be in the menu but not included?  How else can i burn a movie DVD that will play in a standard movie DVD player?

    You must have very recently bought your iMac with Lion pre- installed correct?  If you look at other threads in this forum, you'll discover that iDVD is no longer included on new machines with iLife, and that to get iDVD you need a "boxed set" of iLife11 (iLife09 will also work to custom install just iDVD).   Most of us agree this is quite premature on Apple's part, and that while DVD use is waning, it is far from gone.  As iDVD was part of the "original" iLife11, it shows up in your iMovie menus.
    I suggest you call Apple and complain to customer service, you might get a copy of iDVD that way, it can't hurt.   If that doesn't work, look for a reseller selling boxed sets of iLife09 or iLife 11 and custom install iDVD, then do a couple software updates.   We all agree that you shouldn't have tp pay for this, but even so I still think it is your best option.   You could go pay more for other DVD authoring programs, there are even a few cheap ones on the Mac App store, but iDVD is better than these IMHO.
    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.

    Macbook Pro quad mid 2012 - How can I burn an imovie project to a DVD for play on regular DVD player connected to a TV?

    Hey,
    If you don't mind a third-party software, you can try the DVD Creator to burn any kind of videos to DVD with the ability to play on DVD player~~The process is really easy and you can DIY the DVD menu if you like. (offer the guide to you!)

  • 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.

    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.

  • IMovie does not "share" to iDVD. How can i burn an iMovie to DVD?  I do have a copy of iDVD on my Mac

    IMovie 11 does not "share" to iDVD. How can i burn an iMovie to DVD?  I do have a copy of iDVD on my Mac

    My advice, keep iDVD on your Apple Mac as it is a great software and let's hope Apple will introduce it again in imovie 10.  Since you may have imovie 10.0 (2013) up-dated from imvovie 9.0 (which included iDVD for burning your home made films on imvoie 9.0,)  you can proceed as follows to burn it on a DVD:
    a) your film is completed on imovie 10.0.  Under share transfer it to "Theatre" (default).
    b) open iDVD  and drag the film ex "Theatre" on the space "movie" of i.DVD. 
    c) Inser a DVD and clic on "burn"...
    It worked for me.

  • I can take video made in Photo Booth and use in my Smilebox greetings and I can use photos from iPhoto to use there also.  I have not been able to figure out how to take clips from iMovie for that.

    For anyone who has used "Smilebox" for greeting cards:  I can take video made in Photo Booth and use in my Smilebox greetings and I can use photos from iPhoto to use there also.  I have not been able to figure out how to take clips from iMovie for use with Smilebox.

    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.

    How do I burn my imovie project to dvd?

    In addition to iDVD, there are several other options, including Roxio Toast, Compressor, and Burn.
    Burn is a free open-source disk authoring program. It does not have the eye candy that iDVD does, but it is free, and I wouldn't spend a lot of money on this since you may find you make fewer and fewer DVDs. I probably make maybe one a year.
