HT1095 burn my movie to DVD without iDVD

How do I burn my movie to DVD? I bought a Macpro last November and there's no iDVD.

Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie.
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.

I just finished creating a movie in IMovie and now want to burn it to a DVD and make it loop. Since I just purchased this IMac it no longer comes with IDVD. My question is how to burn and loop a dvd without IDVD. Thanks for any help.

I just finished creating a movie using IMovie and want to burn it to a DVD and loop it. Since I just purchased this mac it looks like they no longer include IDVD. Is there something out there to help me do this. I am new to MAC and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

There is free open source software called Burn that will burn DVDs. Here is a link.
If you wish to pay for software, there are many, including TOAST TITANIUM from Roxio. Apple's retail copy of iLife 11, and Apple's Compressor.
Of these, I would say that iDVD is known for being able to create very professional looking DVDs with intros, menus, lots of interesting templates.
Toast is much simpler and the menus and templates are more plain.
Compressor is a professional tool that does a lot more than make DVDs. Don't expect much in the way of menus or templates.
Burn, I have never tried, since I have iDVD and Toast for those ocasions when I need to burn a DVD. However, since it is free, I think it is worth a try.
Each software package is a little different, but in general, in iMovie, you can use the SHARE menu to SHARE/MOVIE in Large size. Save the movie to your desktop or someplace you can easily find it. Then drag it into the tool of your choice. You can alsouse SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER/LARGE if you have iDVD or Toast.

Error while burning a movie to DVD using iDVD

I have burned a 2 other movies this week but the last movie I tried to burn didn't work. I tried 3 times (once after restarting the computer and once starting over from iMovie) but each time I got the same error at the end.
Multiplexer Error
The was an error during building. The discs is still untouched and may be reused later.
Thanks for any help.

I had that problem until I remove a good deal of stuff from my 500 GB drive and left about 100. I hear from this forum you need at least 25 GB free. Try it...see if that works....also, burn at the slowest speed possible.

How to burn an iMovie to DVD without losing quality? I have iMovie 10.0.5 and imac 10.9.4 mountain lion. I do not have iDVD. After iMovie goes through the encoding process, quality is horrible. How can I fix this?

How to burn an iMovie to DVD without losing quality? I have iMovie 10.0.5 and iMac 10.9.4 mountain lion. I do not have iDVD. After iMovie goes through the encoding process, quality is horrible. How can I fix this problem? I have tried the apps BURN and DVD Creator for MAC. I need to finish this DVD asap and becoming more and more frustrated. Why would Apple give us iMovie and not provide us an app to burn it to a DVD and / or take away the iDVD?

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

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.

Burn a DVD without IDVD

how do I burn a DVD without idvd?

There really isn't a 3rd party DVD authoring application for Macs that can hold a candle to iDVD. You can purchase iDVD (and the discontinued iWeb) by purchasing a copy of the boxed iLife 11 disk from one of the 3rd party retailers like Amazon.com: iLife 11. It's well worth the price IMO.

Been trying to burn a movie onto DVD and get this "The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media" Anybody know what it means and what to do? Help! Thanks

It generally means that the media is faulty or of poor quality. Most of us here use Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden media.

Your Superdrive may need a clean.
If you have further questions please state what Mac, with what versions of OS X, iMovie and iDVD you are using.

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

I get an error code when burning a movie to DVD

I use Premiere Elements 10 in my iMac OS lion vers. 10.7.2
I have 250 Gb free on my hard disc. The movie I try to burn is between 3-4 Gb
When starting to burn my movie to a DVD the following is seen in order on the screen:
Encoding Menu 2 of 2
Computing Media
Burning disks 1 of 1
and then it burns (at the end pretty quickly) to 99% and stay there.
I get an error code:
Internal software error: /Users/labuser/premiere/elements/molecules/pre10-bullseye/molecule-17/External/AuthorScri pt/Source/DVDCreator/FormatLib/Ma.....
When I look on the DVD, it looks like nothing has been burnt to the DVD.
What can be wrong?

I still have trouble with burning my movies to DVD.
Have tried the following:
Found that I had "-" in many of my file names (clips). I removed them from the file names, but this had no effect.
I moved my entire project folder to a shorter path folder. This had no effect.
I have not managed to find blank DVDs on sale here in Gothenburg, but will try to buy them online.
I have four movies that I want to burn on DVD discs.
Have succeeded in burning two of them.
I've tried to find what distinguishes between the two that are OK and the two that I have not succeeded with. They are all at about the same size, about 27-29 minutes long.
The clips are .m2ts and .mts files.
In one of the movies that are OK, all the clips are .m2ts files. In the second movie (that is OK), most of the clips are .m2ts files, but also there are .mts files.
In the other two movies that are not OK, it's a mix of .m2ts and .mts files.
When I try to burn the two movies which failed, I get the same course as I showed earlier (with an error code).
I must admit that I was wrong when I previously wrote that I could burn all the movies to my hard drive. The ones I can not burn to DVD, I can not burn to my hard drive.

I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported and edited them in iMovie and then burned them onto a DVD using iDVD. I can see the weak jerkiness when panning in both laterally and vertically. I shoot with a camcorder Canon

I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported
and edited them in iMovie and then burned them onto a DVD using iDVD.
I can see the weak jerkiness when panning in both laterally
and vertically.
I shoot with a camcorder Canon Vixia HF10. The camera has been set to deliver HD quality (1920x1080). But I have accidentally filmed with a frame rate of 60 (?).
When I import the films in iMovie I have been asked if I want to change to frame rate 30 (instead of 25). I have chosen 30.
Could it be the setting of a frame rate 60 in my camcorder that causes jerkiness when panning or what else?

Why don't pictures from a slideshow made in iPhoto and then burned on to a DVD in iDVD not use the full screen?

Why don't pictures from a slideshow made in iPhoto and then burned on to a DVD in iDVD not use the full screen?

All I want to do is send my family the pictures for them to be able to see them on most dvds and use manually control.
If you want set top DVD player playback, I suggest you create a a series of slideshows IN iDVD that each contain a MAXIMUM of 99 images. Do not create the slideshow in iPhoto or iMovie.
Is there an easier way to do this, bypassing iDVD?
Some DVD players will play a disc containing jpeg images

Unable to burn movie to DVD without theme

I created a movie on iMovie and would like to create a DVD without any of the themes offered in iDVD. Don't know or unable to do so.
I finally settled on a theme with one drop zone. However, the trimmed clips I created in iMovie when dropped to the drop zone are untrimmed. I deleted the trimmed sections from the iMovie trash. Still it insists on transfering the whole silly clip. Don't have Quicktime Pro so can't do editing there. Any suggestions before I go crazy over this 4 minute movie!

If you have a copy of Toast 7 you can do it. Create your DVD in iDVD (or in Toast if you like) and save it as a disc image. Open the disc image then select the option in Toast to convert a DVD from a VIDEO_TS folder. You'll then find there's an option to burn the main feature only. Select that and burn a DVD. Worked fine the last time I tried it - when you put the DVD in your DVD player it'll automatically play the movie and stop when it gets to the end which, I think, is what you want to do. The only two downers are that (a) it's a two stage process and (b) you need to buy a copy of Toast. It's really silly that iDVD won't let you do this but then quite a lot about iDVD is silly anyway.

How to burn to DVD without iDVD??

So I just made my first movie on iMovie11. it is 72 minutes long and I want to burn it to a DVD to be able to play in my DVD player. I have a new iMac with iLife already installed so I do not have iDVD and not sure I want to purchase iLife disc set all over again just to get it. What other software can i download and what steps do I need to take to be able to watch my movie on any DVD player?

HT1338 how do I burn an iMovie onto a DVD without iDVD?

I created a movie in iMovie and now I can't seem to figure out how to burn it onto a DVD. Someone suggested I download xilisoft dvd creator but it's 40 bucks so I was looking for a cheaper (but reliable) alternative. Thanks!

This is a good one too. hope it could help you.

Tutorial: Burning QuickTime Movies to a DVD using the Burn utility.
Here is a quick 3 step tutorial on how to burn a QuickTime movie into a self-playing DVD.
Step 1: Click the Video tab and name your DVD.
Launch the Burn utility, and in the main window:
Select the Video tab.
Name your DVD
Choose "DVD" from the pop-up menu.
Step 2: Drag your QuickTime movies into the file list.
Drag some video files right into the Burn file list. Most video files are supported, however some protected QuickTime files may not work. If they are not in the correct format for DVD, Burn will ask to convert them to the right format. Most of your movies will require conversion.
Once you click "Yes" you'll be prompted to tell Burn where you want to save the converted movies. In that save dialog box, in you live in North America, make sure the NTSC format is selected (Read about PAL format).
Note: This conversion process can take some time depending on the size of your movie, and the speed of your Mac.
Step 3: Click the Burn button and insert a blank DVD.
Your computer will display a dialog indicating the DVD is burning. When it's done, eject the disc and try it out in your TV's DVD player.
Enjoy.
