Suggestion request for creating a DVD with iMovie 4, but no iDVD

...or even a DVD burner. Sounds stupid, right? Allow me to explain.
I recently filmed a wedding for a friend using a borrowed Panasonic MiniDV camcorder.
My girlfriend has an iBook G4 with iMovie 4.0.1. However, she doesn't have iDVD...because she didn't purchase a superdrive with this machine. Only the standard combo drive.
Without knowing or thinking about any of this (this is where I was completely stupid) I successfully imported and edited the wedding footage. The final time clocked out at an hour and a half. I had a grand old time doing it, until I started thinking about how I would get this to DVD. I have since returned the borrowed camcorder.
Do you think it is possible or even advisable for me to:
a) not purchase iDVD or a DVD burner as this is most likely the only video project I'll ever work on
b) Export the movie in the highest quality format as possible
c) Transfer said file to an external hard drive (which I would be willing to purchase as I would have other applications for it later)
d) Bring it to a public facility in my town (like Screenz) that has iMovie, iDVD, and a superdrive and burn it there. Of course I realize that depending on the quality I export at, this could take several hours to do, but if it could be successful I'd have no problem doing so. I also realize I should scope them out and determine what versions they have.
Your thoughts? Should I attempt this? Need more info?
Thanks so much for your suggestions! Call me an idiot if you need to. I have no pride in this matter.

Should I attempt this? Need more info?
... hm, don't know the folks of Screenz, wether they allow to "use" their machines without a fee... but, why not giving it a try?
.. buy the ext. harddrive there... makes you a "friend" & good customer..
after purchasing the drive...
* make sure, it has a firewire connection (=100% compatibility)
* connect drive, power on...
* launch Disk Utility from your Utilities Folder...
* select drive
* choose in drop-down menu "MacOsExtended/hfs", give a nice name..
THEN, export your project, share/Quicktime/Full Quality...
AND drag'n drop your iM project (that with the star icon) onto drive
File 1 is in case, for some reasons, File 2 isn't accepted.. the qt.mov could be imported into any iDVD version...
File 2 is in case, they have versions which accept your iMproject folder (any iDVD4 - 6 should do so); this file keeps chapter markers, in case you use one; and stills have probably a slightly better quality... then, you launch iDVD, choose a nice theme, drag'n drop the iM from your hd to iDVD window...
try to get access to some "überMac", Intel quadcore 4GB RAM ... then, iDVD creation is done with your 90min project in less then 15minutes....
buy Verbatim dvd-r, no second try needed..

How do I use itune music for creating photo DVDs with music in adobe element 10?

How do I use/transfer itune music for DVDs with music in adobe elements premier?

On each computer:
Open iTunes. Select Preferences from the iTunes menu and click on the Advanced icon in the toolbar. At the top you will see a box showing the path to your iTunes library. Click on the Change button, navigate to the location for the library on your external drive, select it and click on the Open button. Note this permanently changes the library's location on that computer. That means you cannot access your music unless the external drive is connected.
If you don't want a permanent change, then press the OPTION key and hold it down while you launch iTunes. iTunes will then prompt you to select the library you wish to open for that session.

I have a new macbook air that comes with iMovie '11 but not iDVD. There seems to be no way for me to burn a DVD. What can I do?

How can I get my project onto a DVD? Why doesn't the computer come with iDVD?

Hi
What's even worse is that Mac Book Air - Do not have any DVD-station at all !
You need a DVD-burner. There are external USB-connected ones.
You need DVD authoring program as iDVD or Roxio Toast@ or Burn (free)
my General notes:
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 (if it has a DVD-burner) - 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.

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.

Hi
No Menu on DVD
from. Mishmunken
How to create a DVD in iDVD6 without menu (there are several options)
1. Easy. Drop your iMovie in the auto-play box in iDVD's Map View, then set your auto-play item (your movie) to loop continuously.
Disadvantage. The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy. If you don't want your (auto-play) 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 drop-zone (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". Post-production with myDVDedit (free-ware)
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.

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 to find function module or Bapi for particular transaction in sap?
If you mean that you need to know what BAPI's a particular tranx uses, which I can only assume that's what you mean, then you should access the code behind the transaction and search for 'CALL'. That normally is the standard method that think that most people use.
Suppose you want to find the bapi for creating a sales order, you usually use transaction VA01 for this.
1. Find out the package of the transaction.
Start Va01 go to system --> status.
Double click on transaction
Package is VA
Open this package in SE80
Open business engineering-->Business object types
Find the BO which sounds the most appropriate
I would suggest BUS2032 Sales Order
Double click.
Open methods.
Find the released method with from data or something similar in the name
, Createfromdat2
Position the cursor in it and click the program button
Scroll down to find the bapi used in this method
With this way you can also find out programs and FM's
2. Start va01 go to system-->status
Double click transaction VA01
Double click on package
Read the application component. (this is SD-SLS Sales)
Then open the transaction BAPI
Sales and distribution>Sales>sales order
createfromdat2
Answer: This is the BAPI for your mentioned transaction code BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE.
thanks,

BAPI For CREATE SALES ORDER WITH REFERENCE TO ORDER

Is there any BAPI available for the same ? (Version 4.7) - I know its available for new create and change
but couldn't find for create with reference to Order ...
Thanks in advance ...

Hi,
You can use this FM "/SAPNEA/SMAPI_ORDER_CREATE". I haven;t tried this but you can still give it a try. Mention the Reference Order Type and other data in the header work area and pass it to the FM.
Reward if it's useful.

Using IDVD to create a DVD with HDV footage edit in Final Cut

I tried to create a DVD with IDVD 5. It was a 5 minute hdv movie edited in Final Cut and the result was really bad.
I have tried the best quality option but it's still a disaster. I taught about using compressor but It would take 110 hours to compress this movie in h:264
What is my solution?
