I want to burn a DVD of my movie.

I selected iDVD under Share. After preparing the movie, iDVD doesn't open. Any suggestions?

This is the best way to burn DVD's.
In iMovie Share your project to Media Browser... in Large size.
When that has finished, exit iMovie and open iDVD > new project.
Then import your movie by either clicking on the Media button (bottom right corner) or by File > Import > Video.
Best, Z.

IMovie '11, what steps am I missing, when I go to SHARE, IDVD is grey and not activated, only ITUNES and MEDIA BROWSER? I want to burn a DVD.

Share your movie to the Media Browser. Then, in iDVD, drag your movie in from the Media Browser at the bottom right.
THe Share to iDVD option is only activated if your source material is DV or AVCHD.

I downloaded a movie from iTunes. I wanted to burn a DVD of the movie which I could play on my home entertainment system. After I had burned the DVD I tried to play the movie from it on the computer and got the message " You can't open the application mediaioserver because it may be damaged or incomplete". What is this all about? Are there settings I need to change? PS: I tried to play the DVD on my home DVD player and it also doesn't work. Help!

Klaus: Does this mean that I can only watch this movie on my computer and ipad not on my home big screen system?

Congratulations on the new Mini. Are you saying you tried burning and it does not play, or do you want to burn it only for the computer to be able to play it?

It's also under the File menu.

I want to burn a DVD and keep the pictures in the files

I am using iPhoto 8. I have 46 albums that I created for one vacation. I have organized all of the pictures from 5 cameras and want to burn a DVD keeping the pictures in those albums so others can create a slideshow from them. When I burned a DVD the files did not show up, so all of the work was for nothing. How can I burn the DVD and keep the files intact so other people do not need to do the same work that I have already completed?

As Terence mentioned for those with Macs and iPhoto select the albums you've created and use the Share ➙ Burn menu option. This will create a mini library on the disk that others can view in iPhoto and run slideshows from the photos in the album or copy those albums into their library for more control.

What is the problem? I cannot find iDVD in the programs map.

The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that nothing could be further from the truth 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. That worked for some, but 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 using iCloud and burning DVDs:
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.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD.

I want to burn a DVD of what I hae recorded on my ipad. Is there a way to do this?

I want to burn a DVD of what I have recorded on my ipad. Is there a way to do this?

Directly from the iPad, no. You will need to get the file (whatever it is, you don't say) onto your computer. Depending on what it is and what app controls it, you can email it, use a tool such as drop copy or drop box.
If you provide a bit more detail, more specific advice might be possible.

I want to burn a DVD of a slideshow I made using iPhoto. Can anyone tell me how?

I have made a slide show from photos in iPhoto. It works fine and I have published it to my "me gallery". I now want to make a DVD of this slideshow. I have tried to use an old version of Toast and I get an error message after the slideshow has been formated and "supposedly" burned. I've tried to burn it from the iTunes application and that doesn't work either. Can anyone help?

I would post in the iPhoto forum.

I want to burn a dvd which will play as soon as it is in the dvd player.

Hi people,
I'm very new to FCP and the world of video and would be very grateful for some help.
I have edited a 6min video in FCP and now want to export it ready to burn onto dvd.
Is the best way to do this through compressor? and if so what settings is good?
I also understand that I have to use DVD SP to burn the dvd right? I don't want any fancy menu pages, just a straight dvd that will play as soon as it hits the dvd player.
Silly question but how can this be done?
Sorry to sound stupid but we all have to start somewhere right?

In iMovie or iphoto I have made a good slide show with music. I want to burn to DVD disc for viewing on any DVD player.

In iMovie or in iPhoto I have made slideshows that I want to burn to a DVD disc. But they only play on computers and I want it to play on DVD players. How do I do that?

Hi
You need to do a Video-DVD
Your Mac can only make Data-DVDs without any extra program.
• If it's some Years old then iDVD was included to do this
• If brand New - iDVD is not supplied any more. Nor does Apple sell it either.
(Can be bougth from Amazon or second handed in boxed version of iLife. The iLife on Apple Store do not contain iDVD or iWeb any more)
alt. is
If there are/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.

My MacBook Pro doesn't want to burn DL DVD?

Iv'e been tring to burn DL DVDs on my MacBook Pro but it just doesnt want too.
What should I do? I don't want to buy a external DVD burner.
Does anyone know if APPLE could install an internal DVD burner that can burn DL DVDs?
MacBook Pro 1, 1 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Due to size constraints inside the MacBook Pro case, the higher-speed dual layer drives just didn't fit in the MacBook Pro at the time of design and manufacture. There are some drives on the horizon that will fit in this form factor - it remains to be seen what will work, or what Apple themselves includes in the later MacBook Pro revisions.
In the meanwhile, any Firewire or USB 2.0 drive should work just fine. iDVD in iLife '06 has been updated to permit burning of projects on third party available DVD burners now.

Hi does anyone know what programme I can use to create DVD of a movie that I have created on iMovie? There is no iDVD on my mac. Is Burn any good? And if so, can I get it for free?
Thanks.

There is no iDVD on my mac.
There is NO alternative. But iDVD is very easy to get.
iDVD is on the iLife 11 DISK. Buy here:

iDVD is vastly superior, especially for movies.
