Imovie '08 create a dvd

I have a 1 hour movie in imovie '08 and am trying to create a dvd in idvd. I tried creating a quicktime movie and a large movie as recommended. After 4 hours both screens told me I had 1200 minutes left and the time kept growing. Can anyone tell me how to burn a 1 hour movie from imovie '08 to a dvd?Thank You,
Steve

Choose share and media browser, once this is complete open iDVD 08 and you will see your movie in the media browser, you can then use it with iDVD 08 to make your DVD.
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!)

  • Editing a film with IMOVIE and create a DVD memu with IDVD

    Dear all,
    I edited a film with Imovie (with music, picture effects...). Now I try to create a DVD memu with IDV. For example, for a trip, I want to create a main menu (Australia) and sub menus (Sydney, Red center...). With this sub menu I want to attach some specifics sequences of my film edited with IMovie.
    I export the film from Imovie but when I try to use it with IDVD I have only one file. So I cannot create a menu and chose different sequence.
    Could you please explain to me how to obtain sequences edited on IDVD. I can see some sequences on IDVD but it is the uncut movie.

    I had the same question about iMovie'08 a few days ago. You need to add the chapters outside iMovie'08. I found this freeware at http://www.applesolutions.com/bantha/MH.html and it worked well for me.
    Basically it opens your movie file exported from iMovie. You select manually the location of each chapter, then save the file again. When you drop this new file onto iDVD, the expected PLAY and Scene Selection buttons appear as expected. The instructions on the site are easy to follow.
    Alternatively, there is a also a separate hack to edit the ProjectData file located inside the iDVD project package, but this did not work properly for me. I have not tried the GarageBand hint.

  • Want to burn iMovie to external LaCie DVD+RW

    there must be a better way! no super drive but yes toast 6 titanium----Will toast compress or even handle a 12 gig iMovie and create a DVD? And why won't toast except ALL the files in iMovie. AND, is there a way to burn iDVD to my LaCie external? If so how do I save the iDVD file and export it to toast? iDVD seems to want to freez up when finished with the making of the DVD and there's no 'save as' in the menu and so on....
    Is there a way to compress iMovie? (quick time?)
    thanks

    there's no 'save as' in the menu and so on....
    There is "Save as Disk Image" in the iDVD file menu. This will make a disk image that you can burn with Toast 6.
    iDVD seems to want to freez up when finished with the making of the DVD
    Is this during audio encoding? If so be patient and wait wait wait wait for iDVD to finish.

  • How do I create a DVD from iMovie when iDVD is no longer included in iLife (Lion).

    I've been doing video editing for many years on PC using the Pinacle software. I have for years wanted to switch to a Mac that is known to be far better for this purpose than PC. A few days ago I bought an IMAC 27 inch, 3.1 MHz and was impressed with the Imovie program until I was going to burn the project onto a DVD as I had read about and explained in all Apple stores I've visited.
    I realize to my great surprise that in the Lion version is no longer possible to burn a DVD using IDVD as mentioned in the help menu and in the Appel documentation online. I have tried with various other applications as well with no success. It is completely incomprehensible that Appel actually has removed this option from Ilife (IDVD) and I feel cheated.
    I have now spoken with three different people from the support and none of them can give me a good explanation of how to burn an Imovie project onto DVD with this new operating system (which actually is a basic need). All documentation I find on internet and in the help section refers to iDVD, which is not included in Lion, and it does not even appear that I can buy the program separately. The new operating system is marketed as an improvement and this I find misleading advertising when such a basic need as creating a DVD is no longer possible (or extremely complicated). I do not experience that I have received the product I have been informed about in several stores and on Apple's website and considering of course to raise the entire purchase.
    Does anybody know how to do this without iDVD? I want to create both a DVD frontpage and chapters as I have been doing on my pc for years.

    Does anybody know how to do this without iDVD?
    You can't.  You MUST buy iDVD.
    Tell Apple how you feel.  They do read these comments, and often react.  Be nice.

    (On the above link, you will notice under Mac apps they do indeed show, iDVD!)
    If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 on disk (don't get the download) for about $29. You WILL get iDVD.
    or if you like downloads, go to the Apple Store via the Store button at the top, (not the App Store) and look for iLife 11 it will list iWeb and iDVD.  It IS available online.

  • How to create a dvd from iMovie '11

    I have created a video in iMovie and am trying to transfer it to a DVD.  However, there is no Export function.  When I share the movie to a file it uses a .mp4 format which is then not able to be be burned to a disc.  In the past, the extension was .mov and I was able to create a DVD without any problems.

    You need iDVD.
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    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.

  • How do I create a DVD from an iMovie '08 Project?

    How do I create a DVD from an iMovie '08 Project? I followed the directions in the help section but when I open iDVD, my project is "grayed out" and I cannot open it in iDVD.
    Rich Rector

    In general, in imovie Share to Media Browser or Share to iTunes.
    Then open iDVD. Open the Media Browser in iDVD (at bottom right of window). Navigate to your movies and you should see the movie you made. Drag it in to the iDVD project.

  • Create a DVD from imovie

    Hello,
    First I never bought iLife so I don't have iDVD.
    I just made a video using imovie and would like it to be in DVD format.
    Is there a free way to create a DVD in mac os?  If no then I can quickly switch to Windows (bootcamp) and use Windows DVD maker.
    I don't have time to run to a store and buy iLife.

    I've seen people recommend Burn, but I haven't used it or know of its capabilities.

  • Creating a DVD from iMovie '09

    I have created a movie using still images from a trip. When I send this project to iDVD there is a noticeable fall off in quality. Is there a way to create a DVD without having to sacrifice quality in the process?

    Hi
    Is there a way to create a DVD without having to sacrifice quality in the process?
    Simple answer is NO
    But there are several layers to this.
    A. DVD is as standard only SD-Video - there are no HD-DVD (to be mentioned)
    B. iMovie shows a much better picture than any DVD can support
    C. Share to iDVD - Is not the choice I make - I do "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (Not HD) and in iDVD click Media Button - Movie and select it here. This gives as good result that iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 can do.
    D. What file format on the photos used is of importance - I use .jpg - NEVER .bmp
    E. iMovie'08 to 11 - are not the optimal choise if one do a SlideShow or a Movie with lot's of important photos - as they all just delivers every second line over to iDVD = Loss of definition. Better is iMovie up to HD6 or FinalCut any version or for SlideShow - FotoMagico™ - As they all delivers full interlaced video to iDVD.
    So as You see - a simple question - doesn't allways have a simple answer in spit of that it's a Mac and so on.

    I use imovie to create videos. When I burn the video to DVD and play it back there is digital breakup in the playback from the DVD. The digital breakup does not show in playback on the computer. I understand there is a file I need to delete and reboot the computer and imovie will rebuild the file in the program. Help!

    My method is to use the DAW in standard recording mode, and set up the camcorder entirely separately.  After recording, I automate the audio mix with fader moves and effects, then export ("bounce to disk") a full-fidelity AIFF, 16-bit 48 kHz stereo file (most videos use 48, not 44.1).  I use iMovie '11 to import the video from the camera, then import the stereo audio file and match it up to the camera audio by dragging it into the iMovie Project.  Make the waveforms visible, it's not too hard to align.
    Then, use iMovie's "Export as Quicktime" feature.  Here, by going through the menus and options, you can control the audio compression (for example, 256k instead of 128, although 128 seems to be enough for YouTube).
    AppleMan1958 posted a YouTube video about controlling iMovie's export options that may help:

  • How do I create a DVD from iMovie with menus? What iDVD use to do!

    iDVD has disappeared on my new MacBook Pro, so how do I create a DVD with menus and everything?

    Hi
    You can not do that - without any DVD authoring software as iDVD.
    So either
    • Treat to return Your new Mac (within 14 days) if Apple doesn't give You iDVD
    • Buy a second handed iLife'09 (pref as You then get all Themes - not so in iLife'11 - AND - after program-up-date they will be the same version anyway)
    • Buy another DVD-authoring software as Roxio Toast™ (costs a bit - contanin lot's of other things too - that was of great value to me (not so to everyone)
    • Use the free (and very simple/basic) BURN™ - as You at least can get Your Movie onto a Playable DVD
    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.

  • Can I still create a DVD with the new iMovie?

    I currently use iMovie '11 and burn DVDs of the finished blockbusters (I'm not into broadcasting myself across the internet!).
    Will I still be able to do this if I upgrade to the latest version of iMovie? I cannot find the answer to this online as everything seems geared up to just plaster the internet with my creations. I have no requirement for this at the moment but am happy to send DVDs to friends, some of whom don't have internet access!!!

    Yes, but there is no longer tight integration with iDVD.  The last post at:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24263697#24263697
    gives some info.
    iMovie 10 is quite different from iMovie 9 (='11) and there is quite a but of relearning necessary.  The underpinnings have been updated greatly (background tasks, 64 bit, use of all CPU cores and GPU etc) but some features of earlier versions have disappeared.  For example chapter markers (which you may use in your DVDs are no longer supported and support for some older video codecs has gone.

  • How can I create a dvd with NO theme?

    I'd like to create a DVD that shows an image of my choice when inserted in player, with one play button start movie. All themes seem to have some moving graphic or fancy stuff.

    Hi
    Easy is to put movie into AutoPlay box in organizing view in iDVD window (top left most box)
    But this ends in a menu - This can be a black photo to simulate No Menu
    All themes seem to have some moving graphic or fancy stuff.
    No - and especially the old ones. AND by using the mid round button under the iDVD menu window (the one with two semi-circular arrows) You turn off Animation - I always do !
    from. Klaus1 in Somerset, UK
    How to create a DVD in iDVD6 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. 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 ( 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.
