If i want to burn my movies to a DVD, but can't find iDVD toolbar on my iMac how do I find it?

I want to burn my movies to a DVD but, it tells me to go to iDVD toolbar on my iMac. If it does not show up how do I find it?

You'll need to purchase iDVD 7 via the boxed iLife 11 disc from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 11(US store)  since iDVD has been discontinued by Apple and is not being distributed with new Macs or in the Apple store.

  • HT4997 I want to burn a movie to a dvd with iMovie but idvd doesn't show up in the "share" menu--why?  My SuperDrive indicates that my DVD+R can be written to.  Please Help.

    I just spent a week creating an iMovie and wanted to burn it to a DVD.  The instruction tutorial said to go to the "Share" menu and select "iDVD", however there is no "iDVD" listed in that memu.  I checked to see that my DVD+R was writeable in my SuperDrive--it is?  Why doesn't "idvd" show in the "share" menu?  Please help, thank you.  Fustrated Mark.

    I may have found a way around this issue. I have the old style mouse with a wired usb connection. I've learned from other discussions that by holding down the 'Control' key and pressing the mouse button on an Apple a menu similar to the right-click menu of a PC will appear. When I tried this from the 'Project Library' on iMovie on my iMAC, a menu appears that DOES contain the export to iDVD choice. This choice is still not visible from the 'Share' menu in the menubar. This appears to be some glitch in the Apple software, but my computer is currently formulating the iMovie into the iDVD format. I have my fingers crossed.

  • Burning AVI movie files to DVD, whats the trick in iDVD?

    I have AVI movie files that I want to burn to a DVD. I am able to "import" the file and do all the extras with iDVD but I am unable to select chapters and when I try to preview the movie its just a blank screen. What am I missing?!

    Hi
    .avi is no Video Format/Codec - it is a container and can hold Codecs that iDVD can use or NOT
    • Open it in QuickTime Player
    • then open Inspector (cmd+I)
    • read - Video Format/Codec: nnnnnnnnn
    What does it read ?

  • I'm trying to burn my iMovie projects to DVD, but can't find iDVD.  Does anyone know where to get iDVD?

    How do I get iDVD?

    By purchasing an iLife 08 or newer DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay, or if your computer shipped with 10.6.8 or earlier(not including Mac OS X Server), installing it from the computer's original disks.

  • Hi, I made a slide show with music from 81 photos I downloaded from my camera.  I would like to burn these to a blank DVD, but there appears to be no utility for export to a DVD for slide shows.  Help.  I want to distribute DVD copies to classmates

    Hi, I made a slide show with music from 81 photos I downloaded to iphoto from my camera.  I would like to burn the slide show to DVD, but can't make this happen.  How do I go about doing this? 

    If the DVD is to play on a DVD Player, then Share -> Send to iDVD as iDVD is the only app that creates the correct file structure and format for this purpose.
    If the DVD is just to hold the file, then Export to the desktop and burn with the Finder.

    A few months ago, I purchased a new iMac. I recently created a movie using iMovie. Then I found out that iDVD is not included. So I have the problem that I want to burn a movie that I can play on my DVD player and watch on a television. I rang Applecare and was told that I need a program called BURN.
    Is this correct? I can export the movie from iMovie in a m4v format, but I think I need to convert this to iso format before I can burn the disc.
    I know there are programs like TOAST that will do this, but it is expensive.
    I would be very grateful for any assistance.

    Burn will not do what you want, and there is no real substutute for iDVD.
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
    Apple insists that the entire world has access to fast broadband (and are prepared to pay for the considerable bandwidth usage) and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud, YouTube, Facebook, whatever) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, 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. Stating that they would return their brand new Mac unless they received a copy of iDVD worked for some, but that is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple.
    Also, you can complain bitterly via Apple’s Feedback link, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between burning DVDs and distributing home movies by other means. You may feel that Apple should not dictate how you destribute family videos or photos to distant relatives and friends, and should not assume that every user is prepared to pay for the excessive bandwidth usage charged by ISPs for huge downloads from the App Store:

    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 came with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or that comes 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 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.
    And if you think Microsoft are any better, their new Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced:  http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/
    In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that. Flexibility and intuitive use of a computer seems to be a thing of the past.

  • How to burn downloaded movie clips to dvd

    some friends emailed me a home movie and i can't get it to burn. i put it in toast and it showed that it burned but it wouldn't work in the dvd player.

    You have two options:
    1<</div>
    If you want to burn just as a file for other computers to read it, then just drag it to the blank DVD-R, CD-R, DVD-ROM, etc.
    2<</div>
    If you want to burn it as a tracked DVD for DVD players to read for special purposes, then use a simple application called iDVD. Just follow through its guidelines and soon you'll be able to burn it. Just remember to use DVD-Rs.
    Hope that helps...

  • How do i burn a movie to a dvd that will play in a dvd player?

    How do I burn a movie to a dvd that will play in a dvd player?

    If you want to burn a video file which doesn't have any copy protection (DRM), there is a great free App called 'burn OSX'. Google it if you want to use it.
    If its a iTunes movie, and you want to play it on your TV you could use a cable connected to your iPod/iPhone/iPad or use an Apple TV box.

  • How do I burn a .mov file to DVD?

    I need to burn an MPEG-2 video file saved as .mov to a DVD that will play in a regular DVD player.
    I have tried opening iDVD and the selecting 'Create a New Project'. When I have selected a location for the project and the main window opens, I go to File > OneStep DVD from Movie...
    My understanding is that when I import a movie file, it will burn it straight to the disc without any further options. It does this, however after a couple of minutes the DVD is ejected blank and iDVD says the burn has completed.
    How can I solve this problem or is there another way to burn a .mov file to DVD?
    Thanks, Dan

    A green screen in an indication that the movie is in a format not supported by iDVD.   It should be in one of these formats:  DV, high-definition video (HDV), MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-4 SD, MPEG-4 HD, and AVCHD.  (From SDMacUser's post in What input file formats does iDVD...: Apple Support Communities). The post has other requirements that need to be met.
    SD = standard definition.
    Open your movie with QT Player and bring up the Info window for the movie.  It will have the format:
    Another possible reason is the Energy Saving settings on the Mac.  Turn off energy saving and screen saver before starting the save as disk image or burn.
    Other possible fixes can be found in this tipic: Green Screen with audio after Burning: Apple Support Communities

    How can I improve quality of image when burning a movie to a DVD?

    What resolution are you using?  If the DVD is to be playable on an ordinary DVD player, only ordinary TV resolution is supported.  You need Blue ray for HD.

  • I want to buy the movie Crazy Stupid Love but it is not available in the US, only in the UK.  I live in the US but is it possible to switch the itunes store so that I can buy that movie?

    I want to buy the movie Crazy Stupid Love but it is not available in the US, only in the UK.  I live in the US but is it possible to switch the itunes store so that I can buy that movie?

    It used to be in the US iTunes Store as that's where I purchased it.  Often the studios will temporarily pull a movie from the store during times the movie is scheduled to be shown on TV or cable TV as the TV network has been granted exclusive access during the period. It will return to the store later.
