IMovie iDVD DVD-R = no burn.

Working in OS 10.4.6, using iMovie HD and iDVD6.
Made the movie (from stills) just fine. Applied all the "Ken Burns" effects and set it all to a piece of music. Preview works great.
Did the Share to iDVD, and then built the intro.
All good to that point.
Going to Burn, the process does it's thing, but when getting to the final portion where it actually does the burning, it says there is an error & ejects the DVD-R.
Tried this a few times. Same result.
I've next gone to trying to burn a DVD of data from the Burn Folder option, and that doesn't seem to be working, either. Here I get "error 0x8002006D".
I really don't want to think this is a problem with the burner itself, but looking to see if anyone else has any ideas.
Noticed a few mentions of that error code in some earlier posts, but no real answers. So here I am, fishing for one.
Thanks.

The Finder's Burn Folder option is for burning Mac files onto a DVD as data files. It's not for creating a TV-playable DVD, which is the goal of iDVD. Entirely different things. You want a TV-playable DVD.
Check out the tips in this thread, which discusses a similar problem.

Note that until you get the problem solved, you can use iDVD to "burn" a disk image of your project instead of a DVD. This lets you separate the encoding (compressing) from the burning. Later, after encoding is successful, you use Disk Utility to burn a DVD of your disk image.
If that burn fails you know there's a disk-burning problem of some kind, not an encoding problem.

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.

IMovie does not "share" to iDVD. How can i burn an iMovie to DVD? I do have a copy of iDVD on my Mac

IMovie 11 does not "share" to iDVD. How can i burn an iMovie to DVD? I do have a copy of iDVD on my Mac

My advice, keep iDVD on your Apple Mac as it is a great software and let's hope Apple will introduce it again in imovie 10. Since you may have imovie 10.0 (2013) up-dated from imvovie 9.0 (which included iDVD for burning your home made films on imvoie 9.0,) you can proceed as follows to burn it on a DVD:
a) your film is completed on imovie 10.0. Under share transfer it to "Theatre" (default).
b) open iDVD and drag the film ex "Theatre" on the space "movie" of i.DVD.
c) Inser a DVD and clic on "burn"...
It worked for me.

Hi
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.

What app do I need to burn imovies to dvd

I have a new imac - no internal superdrive- I bought a stand alone. I need to burn imovies to dvd. Idvd no longer works with new imac, I purchased Toast - that does not work, I downloaded Free DVD creator - that does not work either. I have been following the procedures but the dvds can not be played on my tv dvd player.

Use Verbatim like babowa suggested and burn at the slowest speed available. That will give you the best qualtiy video DVD. If you find you want to create a video DVD with more style than what Toast provides consider using iDVD.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Simply burning iMovie to DVD

I've created a short (1.5 min) movie in iMovie. I want to burn it exactly as it is to DVD, no menu, chapters, themes. And it needs to be the highest quality.
I thought of using iDVD's One Step DVD from Movie, but when I export the movie from iMovie using "Full Quality", it doesn't look full quality upon playback in QT. Text in the title and movement in the clips aren't as clear as when I view the movie full screen in iMovie, with jaggy lines obvious in movement.
Since the movie is so brief, I'm not worried about compressing for size. I need to project this in church tomorrow. Help would be appreciated.

Oops!
Just answered your question in the iDVD forum!

Best way to burn iMovies to DVD

I am looking for advice on the best way to get iMovies onto DVD. I have spent a lot of time reviewing discussions & answers already posted... probably too long as I am not getting anywhere!
I have built a movie in Movie 11 from AVCHD files (1080i) shot on a cannon SD card camera. This has been shared as a Large movie to me Apple TV1.. looks great.
I then shared the project to iDVD. The DVD produced was very poor. 'Jaggies' is a description I have seen in the discussions. Static horizontal lines are broken up & appear to move. I also included a pile of photos on the DVD as a slideshow. Just dropped in 100 high res Jpegs. Again, these appeared as very poor quality.
Exactly the same quality when using DVD+, DVD-, Memorex or Sony (now trying Verbatim).
I have tried dropping the movie into iDVD from Finder rather than sharing from iMovie. Same quality issue.
If I play the movie on my mac straight from Finder... it looks great. If I import it into iDVD (by sharing from iMovie or dropping in the file from media browser, you can see on the preview the jaggies are back
I created a disk image of the movie & burned to DVD... disk wouldn't play in the DVD player..
So, the question. What is the best way to get a movie produced in iMovie onto a DVD in terms of image quality. Have I missed a step in burning the disk image to a DVD?
Ideally, I don't want to use third party Apps. I have downloaded the trial of FCP. Will this handle everything in terms of movie production including DVD burn? I don't want to spend this sort of money, but if needs must..
Really grateful for any help & sorry for asking the largely the same question again!

Hi
Fully understands Your dilemma - BUT
• iMovie'08 to 11 - Can not deliver 100% full quality over to iDVD or any DVD authoring program as they all discard every second line in the picture when going from Event's to Project's. NO medicine known to me to heal this.
I use iMovie HD6 or FinalCut - as they can deliver 100% - interlaced SD-Video
• Video-DVD is as standard only - interlaced SD-Video and can never be any better
I created a disk image of the movie & burned to DVD... disk wouldn't play in the DVD player..
• You must use - Disk Util tool - to do this burn from .img file right ! Else the structure on Your DVD will not be a Video-DVD but a Data-DVD and as this it will NOT play back on any DVD-player.
I have downloaded the trial of FCP. Will this handle everything in terms of movie production including DVD burn?
• Yes - but not in as elegant form as iDVD are able to produce. But I'm told that the full 100% interlaced SD-Video quality is transferred over and used - so Your MOVIE will look as good as it's possibly. FOR FULL information and clever thoughts about this - ASK IN - FinalCut Pro-X forum - they know - I go on hear-say.

Burn an iMovie on DVD-R: frustrating for me. Guidance please.

I cannot seem to get a DVD-R burned for Christmas presents. Taking iMovieHD 6 to iDVD6 and the burn for a DVD player is not happening. What to do.

we need more info.
How much available HD space for example, the media you are using, how you imported into iMovie > iDvd, more about your computer, etc.

Movie made in iMovie HD 6 can't burn DVD as is

I have edited and titled and added stills with Ken Burns effect and the movie previews exactly as I want my DVD to play. I exported to iDVD and it asks me to start all over with chapters and titles and all that. I just want to burn my DVD from exactly what I put together on iMovie HD 6. Please help

How to create a DVD 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.
3. (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.
4. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://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:

You would need to have burned the disc using iDVD or a third-party application such as Toast. Is that what you did?

Burn imovie to dvd-"not recognized"

I spent 5 days and about 26 hours making this iMovie. I bought the **** DVD's to burn it on to 42 of them for work. I finalized the project numerous times, did the "Media Browser" thing and chose the file sizes. I insert the DVD to burn, and it claims that it is "not recognized" in order to burn it. I am beyond frustrated and NO, Apple, I will not give you any more of my money. Helllllllpppp!!!

When you insert the Blank DVD in the finder with nothing else open.
Does the finder recognise the Mounted Blank DVD?
IF it does try burning a small file onto the blank DVD through the Finder.
If it fails what is the error that the Finder tells you?
If this works then proceed
Use a Free App like Burn http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html
Drag and drop your movie files then click Burn. Job Done. 
Alternative
you should be able to burn using iDVD.

HELP!!! - failures with a specific iMovie - iDVD save/burn attempts

I've successfully burned multiple iMovie/iDVD discs without problem, but I've got 1 movie that repeatedly fails with strange errors.
I've optimized the startup drive, the directory of the startup drive and there's 20G free on that drive (and 80+ on the video drive). I also deleted the old plist for iDVD, and ran Cocktail to clear the caches, rebuild permissions, etc.
I tried this with both the iDVD preferences set for 'Best Quality' and then 'Best Performance' (no difference).
I took the original (created in iMovie 4.x), when it failed repeatedly, I recreated it from scratch in iMovie 5.02... no difference.
When I tried to burn it (multiple times), it came back with 'Burn Complete, Found Errors During Burn' (irony here, it hadn't burned ANYTHING, the disc was untouched). Click on error details, and it says 'error #1'.
It had completed rendering the movie.
I also tried saving the iDVD file as a disk image, and it also failed, with a different error (can't screeen capture the dialogs!)... something to the effect that it couldn't initialize the tracks (it had completely finished rendering the movie).
I had seen some mention of a problem with background audio on the DVD Menu, so I also tried it with that removed. No joy.
Any ideas??? I'm desperate and frustrated... I really want to burn this thing for a Christmas surprise.
There's nothing remarkable about the iMovie, it is basically 1 piece, with Multiple Centered Titling on the intro, about 45 minutes long.

Hi Simon,
If you'll read further back into the thread, you'll find that I've covered all known bases with this problem
I am indeed running the most current version, kept on scaling the size of the project smaller, I deleted the plist file for iDVD, ran Cocktail on the disk, etc. etc. etc.
I am now recreating the whole $%^&* thing from scratch again, and I'm crossing my fingers. One thing is for certain, it's NOT an issue of free disk space on the startup drive! This error occurs whether saving to disc image or actually burning the disc.
I was fortunate enough to check the system as it was in the last phases of encoding (audio at that point, and it failed at the end of the audio) and that's when I got the error.
This problem is specific to iDVD, Toast 6.x and now 7.x work just fine.
This is starting to become painfully embarassing to this MacEvangelist
I wonder if DVD Studio Pro ever does this?
Regards,
Bruce
