IMovie 10.2 - copy move to DVD

I've created my iMovie, and want to play this via iDVD. With 10.2, I don't see a way to create a DVD using iDVD -- like I was able to do about two years ago. V 10.2 seems to have taken that capability away, or what am I missing?

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.

Copy movie to dvd

can you upload movie to dvd?

Once you've exported to the media browser, close imovie and open iDVD. Depending on how you open iDVD the media browser may hit you in the face or you might have to hit the media tab to unveil it.

Copy Movies to DVD

I read that DRM will not allow copying a purchased movie to a DVD. How is it planned to store the purchased material? Seems like a HD would soon be filled up with movies. I wonder if it is ok to save them as a digital file on a DVD disk rather than as a playable movie.

No, it is not a stupid concern as I don't know the
answer from first hand experience. I haven't
downloaded a movie so I'm not sure what file format
it is. Maybe you can answer the format question.
What is the extension on the downloaded file? Is it
.mov? Is the copied file the same, which I assume
it is. Does the downloaded file play in the DVD
player or does it play as a QT movie? If the copy
has the same format, then I would assume when you
re-loaded it on your HD from DVD data disc it would
also play either as QT movie or as a DVD.
I'll be interested to hear your answer.
When I clicked on the DVD icon, iTunes opened, and asked me if I wished to "restore" this film. A copy of the film was then written to iTunes with a .m4v extension, and placed in the movies library. File then seemed to behave exactly as the original download.

Im making a photo slide show using imovie. how will i make a dvd copy that can play in both pc and dvd player. i dont have an idvd anymore. m using a mbp early 2011 osx 10.8.5

im making a photo slide show using imovie. how will i make a dvd copy that can play in both pc and dvd player. i dont have an idvd anymore. m using a mbp early 2011 osx 10.8.5.
after making the photo slide show, i clicked share>export movie. after which i burned using toast. the file became a .mov. i tried playing it in my mac and it worked. my fear now is will it also play in a regular dvd?... i read from google that mov files won't run in dvd players. what format should i convert it to so it'll play in a dvd player. can you suggest a faster way i can burn my projects for it takes me almost an hour to export. im going to make 28 slideshows for my kids in school. *=( if i need to do this process 28 times, i may not be able to finish it on time. please suggest a software or an alternative as to how i should do this... m more comfortable using imovie than iphoto. thanks and i hope to hear from someone soon *=j

Thank you QuickTimeKirk...used toast to burn project... my project was in .mov, i tried to play it a dvd player, it did play... will try again tomorrow using another dvd player just to be sure it'll will really work with dvd players. thank you again for your reply *=)

How do I import an old home movie on DVD into iMovie with video_ts content and .vob files

Hi, as a new mac user I would appreciate any help to use imovie to import an old home movie on DVD with movie_ts content and .vob

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion or later:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion and Mavericks even though they have it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

Super 8 Movie to DVD to iMovie

I've had a Super 8 movie transfered to a DVD. When I view the movie with DVD Player it is much clearer and sharper than when I copy the movie from the DVD to iMovie using a conversion program. Why?

You'll need a software like Handbrake. Check out this article (Disclaimer: I haven't done what you are asking about nor have I tried any of the software referenced in the article below. I want to eventually do the same thing you are though.)

I have my home movies on DVD from Windows. I am trying to import them into iMovie but it won't recognize the files. The movies will play on my Mac but I can't seem to import them.

I have my home movies on DVD burned from Windows and am trying to import them into iMovie. The DVD will play on my Mac but I can't seem to import the movie. Can anyone help?

See my post here for how to do this.

I'm not very techy, so be gentle! i am using midvd app to burn home movies to dvd from iMovie '11 version 9.0.9. It now burns the dvd but there is nothing on the disc. its not recognised by the iMac or any other dvd player.

I was using midvd app(i never had idvd) to make home movies on dvd from imovie '11 version 9.0.9 with no problems before xmas 2013. ive just tried to make a new one today and it wont work.
It seems to burn to the dvd (you can see a mark on the back of the dvd as if it has some info on it) but it wont play on imac (just says blank disc) or any other dvd player.
I have tried reinstalling midvd app and also tried 2 other dvd creator apps and the same thing happens the app says its burning and the external superdrive whirs like its doing something but it wont play.
The only thing i have done since xmas is all the updates to the operationg system and updated imovie (i didnt like the new version so went back to using the previous one)
Any ideas - i am new to all things mac!

When you export your movie from iMovie, are you choosing H.264? That is the only compression method supported by this miDVD. Youc an give this a try first:
Use Share > Export to Quicktime > Movie to Quicktime Movie > choose Options and then make your choices in Settings, etc (you can choose whatever size your video is - mine was 720 HD at that time):
If that does not work, I'd suggest going to their support site as they claim to be able to burn to DVD.... I just checked their site and here is their list of supported file types:

Please HELP!!!!

AFAIK, you can't author a DVD using iMovie - again, AFAIK, you need authoring software such as iDVD or Toast Titanium or something similar.

How to copy Quicktime Movie to DVD

I took some movie clips on a Nikon L4 camera and saved them to my HP Pavillion as Quicktime movies. I would like to copy them to DVD to play on my DVD player. Can I do this and if so how? Do I need Quictime Pro?
HP Pavillion a1600n Windows XP using Nikon Coolpix L4

You will need third-party software that can create a video DVD (QuickTime Pro will not create a video DVD). I'm sure if you search the net for something like "Windows video DVD create" you'll come across numerous such products. You'll need to make sure that any product you choose can import QuickTime movies, or get conversion software that can convert a QuickTime movie to a format your DVD application can handle (QuickTime Pro might do this, but you'd probably find freeware apps that could also do the conversion).

What's a safe DVD ripper to make copy of personal DVD movie and other movies?

What's a safe DVD ripper to make copy of personal DVD movie and then make a copy to another blank DVD?

The easiest way is to use Disk Utility to create a disk image of the DVD; you can then burn that to a blank DVD (and indeed play it using the DVD player).
Insert your DVD. Open Disk Utility and select it in the sidebar (the disk itself, not the drive it's in.) Click 'New Image' in the toolbar.
In the dialog box which opens set 'Image Format' to 'DVD/CD Master' and 'Encryption' to 'none'. This will make an exact copy without re-compressing.
Obviously this will not work on a commercially issued DVD, only on ones you make yourself or which are not DRM protected.

HT204370 Can movies obtained via 'digital copy' with a DVD purchase be downloaded again for free if the movie is deleted from the source downloaded to?

Can movies obtained via 'digital copy' with a DVD purchase be downloaded again for free if the movie is deleted from the source (e.g., Macbook Pro) downloaded to?

I'm running Windows 7 RC on my iMac. This was downloaded from Technet when it was available. The disk image I downloaded was then burned to a DVD-RW for the installation.

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

As to iPhoto
Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

Copying Movie DVD

I wish to take a movie DVD or a Movie BluRay and copy this onto my hard drive… subsequently I want to do the following:
1   Make a complete DVD copy for my own private usage. I am NOT interested in doing anything illegal and my understanding is that in EU it is allowed to copy a DVD for your own usage.
2   Have the ability to build a large DVD library on a very large HDD (several cascaded together) so that I can use this for my home cinema and put the original DVD's (and the backup) in a box somewhere.
3   I want to be able to select short amount of video / sound track and have that in a format that I can import to Premier Pro (AVI etc)
Does anyone have any suggestions how to do this? Which software do I need to buy or download that achieves the above with 1:1 quality (ie no compression) and removes any encryption in the process.
Many thanks
regards

Hi
I have read the Terms of Use and do NOT see a conflict.…ould you clarify.
I assume that the concern is about the legal position with respect to encryption, and copyright laws etc. I believe that in Europe we are permitted to make a backup copy of a DVD and place this on a HDD. Also I believe that I can use for personal use on my Mac parts of a movie video as I have legally bought the right to view the movie albeit within the home environment with my family, which is all that I wish to do.
Thanks for clarification.
