How to save a project? and how to burn project onto dvd?

I created a school project on iMovie, when I was done I clicked file, but there was no Save as or Save button, so i closed the window to see if it would say Save Project. It didn't, and when I opened the window back up, all my progress was gone, but the raw video was still there, so how do I save it and put it on a cd/dvd to take and watch in class?

Thank you very much for your quick response!

  • 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.

  • How to burn DVD and can i burn the same DVD later if its having any space..

    How to burn DVD and can i burn the same DVD later if its having any space..?

    This is called sessions, but it is not recommended and has been largely abandoned by software developers. This was a good thing in the late 1990’s, when opticals discs were quite expensive, and file size quite low.
    applications which reportedly may do this are
    - isoBurn: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/40109/isoburn
    - others, I do not remember which ones, try SimpyBurns, Burn, Dragon Burn and LiquidCD, you will find all in macupdate.com, test which ones suit you.
    Otherwise, I do not recommend you such time consuming and inefficient solutions, optical drives are being replaces by more capacitive, cheaper and more practical solutions, like external disks. But, if you insist, you will find what you are looking for.

    Buy iDVD.
    Yes, there are other programs that will put a movie on a DVD.   I have tried most of the substitutes.  None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD.
    http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/idvd.html
    With iDVD you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.
    IDVD is easy to get. It is available on disk as part of iLife 11.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.  (works with all Mac OS 10.5 and newer.)

  • How to burn movies onto disc

    I bought a movie off of itunes and wanted to burn it onto a disc. I have done this before with music to make cds but for some reason it isn't working. Could anyone help me out?

    You cannot burn a movie purchased from the iTunes Store to a DVD to play on a DVD player, if that's what you mean.
    If you mean you want to back up your movie, the backup to disk option was removed as of iTunes 10.4. If you want to back up your movies to a DVD, you'll need to use other Windows backup software and back up the movie files directly from the iTunes folder. Or you can just copy the entire iTunes folder to an external hard drive or other external medium with sufficient capacity.
    Regards.

  • How do you burn off final project onto dvd disk?

    how do you burn off a final project onto a dvd disk....do you need idvd or dvd studio pro?

    can i just export my project into toast and then burn it off?
    Yes. Toast is capable of doing the compressing/encoding, multiplexing and burning, although in tests that I've done, Toast's encoding quality isn't nearly as good as iDVD, Compressor or DVD-SP.
    do i need to compress it?
    Toast will do that for you.
    or do anything else to it?
    Use good quality media. Stay away from poor quality brands like Memorex.

  • How to burn slideshow to dvd

    How burn slideshow from aperture to dvd

    Have you already created a slideshow in Aperture (File > New > Slideshow)? Then use the "Export" button of the upper right corner to render the slideshow as a video file. Set the "Export for" pop-up menu to the format you need for the device where you want to watch the slideshow.
    Once you have the video, you can either use the Finder to burn a data DVD from it (but that cannot be played in a DVD player) or use burn software to create a video DVD, that you can play in a DVD player. You will need special software to do this (Burn, iDVD), see this user tip for options:

  • Yes I am an idiot---How to burn content to DVD for TV viewing?

    I am sure this has been answered somewhere, but I haven't had any luck finding it. I need idiot-proof step-by-step instructions, if possible.
    I am trying to put content from my series 2 TiVo onto DVDs for children's viewing on Sony DVD players in the family room. I have scoured the TiVo and TiVo Community forums but they are too abstruse and technical for me. Given the extremely poor reviews of Popcorn, Toast, Roxio, and Sonic (the current TivoToGo for the Mac solution) I don't want to spend $ and wasted effort.
    I have used TiVo Decode Manager to convert TiVo content to MP4 (which works great ONLY on the Mac or iPod). I have used Living Room widget to convert TiVo content to MPEG (which is unreadable on the Mac without buying a Quicktime MP-2 component).
    I have burned a Maxell DVD-R using iDVD (it didn't see the MPEG files, but I got them on the DVD using the Burn Folder) which works great on multiple Macs IF run as a Quicktime file or in iTunes. OS X DVD Player doesn't see anything (it asks for Video_TS and Audio_TS files, which aren't there), nor do any Sony DVD players see a disc at all. Please note that I have NO trouble getting TiVo connected to my Mac or transferring content to my Mac.
    So, very simple question: I want to burn MP4 or MPEG content that is readable by Sony DVD players. I cannot figure out iDVD to do this. Or do I have to buy Popcorn or Toast?

    I want to burn MP4 or MPEG content that is readable by Sony DVD players. I cannot figure out iDVD to do this.
    Nope, iDvd won't do this (at least not directly). Toast/Popcorn are better options for what you wish to do.

  • How to burn a data DVD?

    Do I need to buy toast to do it? Or is there some build in software that I'm un aware of?

    Insert a blank DVD, select "Open Finder", drag and drop whatever you want to burn into the DVD icon in the desktop and:
    - double click on the DVD icon to show its contents and click on "Burn".
    or
    - open a new Finder window and click on the burn icon next to the DVD on the left window.
    or
    - Click on the DVD icon on the desktop, click on "File" on the menu bar and select "Burn Disc...".

  • On my Mac, I am working with IMovie and trying to burn to a dvd and get error message 2135?  Never got this before.  What is it?  Thanks

    Using IMovie, I get error 2135 when trying to burn to a DVD.  Actually, it is during the preparation stage.   Never got this before  Whats the problem?  Thanks

    Hi
    You must tell more
    • Error 2125 - I recognize - but -2135 is new to me
    The other is in regard to Movie Length in TIME + MENU time - as this is the limiting factor in iDVD (not GBs or other just time)
    a. How many movies
    b. duration of each movie
    c. Menu selected
    d. Is MENU still and silent - or animating and with audio (Takes lot's of the movie time)
    e. Encoding quality selected in iDVD
    f. HOW did You go from iMovie to iDVD
    g. What version of iMovie and iDVD are You using
    h. FREE Space on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - HOW MUCH
    As You see there are lot's of info needed to be of any relevant help
    iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
    • Best Performances
    (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.

  • Burning labels onto DVDs and CDs using light scribe discs

    I just recently purchased a HP DV 7 quad core 750 GB hard drive with 8 GB of RAM and a blue Ray player. I was wondering if I would be able to use light scribe discs to burn labels onto CDs and DVDs using my blue Ray player since it is also a super multi drive. Or am I mistaken because I came to understand that HP was making that pretty much standard on their laptops and other computers since they are primarily the makers of the light scribe disc. Please help me this is my first HP computer. Thank you!!
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    Dv7 is a series of dozens models of laptops. What is yours but since light scrib id not very popular now therefore your machine may or may not have it. Again, you need to check the specs of your machine and the quick way to check is its model. Here is how:

  • Getting a  90 min fce-hd project onto DVD

    Hello,
    I have a 90 minute HD project completed in my timeline and I'm having difficulty getting it onto DVD. The "self-contained" movie file is 50 GBs. Can iDVD handle a compression of this size
    or do I absolutely need COMPRESSOR to realize a decent quality DVD?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Here's the process to burn DVD for household DVD player:
    In FCE use export to quicktime, uncheck "self contained". There is not quicktime encoding at this stage. The encoding process will occur in iDVD itself uppon burning. It's an invisible process.
    Drag the resulting file in a new iDVD project.
    From this stage, it's the total length of your movie(s) and all animated menus in iDVD that rules the choice of your support(DVD blank).
    You have to use single layer for a total of 2 hours, or dual layers for 4 hours (if your mac can support this blank DVD). Check your iDVD preference to select the right encoding method, best quality or better performances.
    Click the burn button., and voilà.

  • Burning photos onto dvd, loses the original date and time of photo

    I'm trying to burn some photos onto dvd, but it marks all the files 'created date' and 'modified date' as today, rather than keeping the original date and time that the picture was taken. Is there a way around this?

    Looks like that error is associated with bad or incompatible media. See this thread:

  • How can I burn an iMovie project onto DVD?

    I just finished a project on iMovie. I need to burn a copy on a DVD.
    IDVD does work for my needs. The old versions of iMovie had an option to burn DVDs.
    So... how can one burn an DVD copy without using iDVD?
    Also best program to convert file format from iMovie ... i.e. Windows computer?

    So why not use iDVD? If you don't have it:
