Share to burn DVD in imovie version 10.0.1

how can I share my project to prepare for IDVD? In the previous version I was able to use the share button and choose a size but with the newest version this is no longer possible???

Thanks! I had tried a couple of times to save in a different size. Now I clicked on 480 and that finished the job and I am able to click on the movie in IDVD. Personally I found the previous version easier and clearer. Need to get used to this version.

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 to burn DVD in iMovie 10

I've just upgraded to iMovie 10 and cannot figure out how to burn my movie to a DVD. I don't want to share on Vimeo, CNN, etc. I just want a movie for me?
What may I missing? Help, please!

RuffiansRide,
The manual is not going to help you figure out how to burn a DVD. Apple discontinued iDVD several years ago and no longer supports it and in version 10 of iMovie has removed all references to iDVD or burning DVDs.
That said, iDVD stil works beautifully and remains the best option for creating nice-looking DVDs on a Mac.
You said that everything appears to be uploading to iCloud. Have you tried unchecking "Automatically upload content to iCloud" in iMovie's Preferences?
Here is a step by step on how to create a DVD from iMovie 10 using iDVD 7.1.2. If you do not have iDVD, you can probably substitute Toast everywhere I used iDVD (I don't have Toast so can't verify this).
1. Create a project in iMovie 10.0.1
2. Go to File>Share>File... and for Size choose Large 540P (960 x 540) and click Next
3. Choose a location on the hard drive to save the file to.
4. Wait for the blue circle activity indicator to finish.
5. In Finder, verify that iMovie created an MP4 file in the location specified in step 3.
6. Open iDVD and click "Create New Project."
7. Give the project a name and save it to your hard drive.
8. Drag the file you created earlier from the Finder into your iDVD project window.
(or go to File>Import>Video... and choose your video there)
9. Make any adjustments to drop zones, etc.
10. Click the burn button.
11. Insert a DVD and let it do its thing.
This produces a working DVD for me.
Here are my software specs:
OS X 10.9 Mavericks
iMovie 10.0.1
iDVD 7.1.2

What happened to share to a DVD from iMovie?

I upgraded to the latest iMove... CAN NO LONGER SHARE TO A DVD?????? What gives?

It's been removed from the latest iMovie. Actually with the old iMovie one should use the Share ➙ Media Browser option instead of the Share ➙ iDVD option as the latter gives poorer results.
Now one should export out of iMovie at 480p and manually add the move file to the iDVD project.
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.

Unable to burn DVD with iMovie?

Am fairly dissapointed with Apple.
I have spent time today creating a short movie of photos of my 2 month old son.
When trying to share with iDVD I have realised that my iLife 11 doesn't come with this software and I can't download it!
I am therefore unable to burn my project to disc and feel I have wasted my time.
In my opinion this seriously reduces the usablility of iMovie.
Is there anyway I can burn the DVD without spending a shed load of cash on some third party software??
Thanks

I was also disappointed when I bought my Mac and it came without iWeb and iDVD.
For burning DVDs, I use a free app called Burn http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html.
You can't do fancy menus or anything that iDVD can, but at least you can get your iMovie Projects onto a DVD.
You have to export your project from iMovie and then drag the .m4v or .mov file that comes out onto Burn (Make sure the Video tab at the top is selected.
Of course, if you have a MacBook Air, you'll need an external optical drive capable of burning DVDs.

New to MAC. How to burn DVD of iMovie

Just created our first school project on iMovie but now cannot figure out how to burn DVD. Is it not possible? We are VERY unfamiliar with the Mac world.....thanks so much in advance!

Hi
I would in iMovie'08
• move from Events to a new Project - building a movie
• Share this to Media Browser
• Close iMovie
• Open iDVD
• Import movie from Media Browser
• Design the iMovie menu at Your liking
• Set DVD burn-speed down to x4 or less in iDVD Preferences
• Set at Pro-Quality encoding
• Use a Good Quality DVD - I use Verbatim
• I use DVD-R
• I secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk - so that iDVD runns OK.
• Save as a DiskImage
• Test this with Apple DVD-tool
• If OK - Burn it with iDVD - or Apple Disk Util tool (need no re-calculation)
Good tutoral are one of
David Pogue's books
• iMovie HD the Missing Manual
• iMovie 6 & iDVD The Missing Manual
• iMovie’08 & iDVD The Missing Manual

Can anyone recommend an application to burn DVDs from iMovie, I have a MacPro.

I am looking for a reliable application to burn DVD's from iMovie, apple used to have iDVD but I can't find it on their website, any response will be greatly appreciated, Thank you!

You can still buy iLife DVDs and install (then update, then update...) iDVD. iDVD still works with Mavericks.

There are other applications to burn DVD

Burned DVD to iMovie?

I am trying to go from burned DVD of our practice to iMovie, so I can edit it in iMovie. But for some reason, it will not allow me to import it. I have done it before by going to Disk Utility and then getting the New Image. Is there a setting I need to have it on once I get to that part? Or what is another way if getting it on to iMovie? Like I said, I have done it before but am trying to figure out why it is not letting me now all of a sudden.

You need to convert the VOB files on the DVD to a format such as DV. MPEG Streamclip and Apple's MPEG-2 playback component will do this on unprotected DVDs.

Can't burn dvd of iMovie w/ iTunes soundtrack on external device

Can't burn a DVD-R of file in iMovie 4.0.1 w/ iTunes soundtrack onto external DVD burner (LaCie w/ Toast 7). Prompt tells me I 'only iTunes can burn content'. Using iMac w/ OX 10.3.9 (no superdrive). Wonder if this iMac wont support the external drive or Toast (which I just purchased) since it has no superdrive.
Any thoughts?

Hi Dean:
iMovie 4 did not natively support an external burner without the help of this free downloadable script:
BURN DVDS TO AN EXTERNAL BURNER OR A DISK IMAGE WITH iDVD
Or Patchburn
Sue
PS You may want to burn the soundtrack to an audio CD and import that to iMovie if it was purchased from itunes.

Burning DVD using iMovie '11

Hi,
How do I burn a DVD that I want to play on my television in iMovie '11? If that is the wrong program, then what program do I buy in order to do this?
Thank you.

You can use Disk Utility to burn. Read the OS Help menu for instructions or research Apple Knowledge Base.

Burning DVD of Imovie

How do I burn a DVD without having the corny themes included?
Would like the movie to play on both computer and DVD player.

Welcome to the forums!
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.
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:

Ripping Burned DVD to iMovie

How do I rip a DVD from iDVD & iMovie to be reedited???
iMac4,1 Mac OS X (10.4.8) LaCiE 186.3 GB HD

DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
* DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
* Apple mpeg2 plugin (29$) + Streamclip (free)
* Cinematize >60$
* Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
* Toast 6/7 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
* connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
none of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...

Imac, When I go to share to burn DVD, it has suddenly refused???

FCPX

FCPx answer: At least the answer that worked for me...
I had the same problem, as I believe many others had.
In my case the problem was with one of OSX Mavericks' new features: APP NAP.
It looks like this is ON by DEFAULT for ALL Applications and that FCPx, or Compressor for that matter, will not work if this is enabled on them.
I just disabled App Napp on FCPx and now it works, again, like a charm.
This is how you disable App Nap: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57612009-263/how-to-disable-app-nap-in-os-x -mavericks/

HT2087 MacBook Pro can't burn DVD despite online instructions

all their online instructions for burning DVDs from iMovie ARE INCORRECT. The truth is, i just found out after wasting 2 DVDs, is that you need to download 3rd party software. I purchases one-to-one to get help with iMovie but became ill and had to cancel appt. Trying to finish project by using online tutorials WHICH ARE INCORRECT.
