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.

Unable to read burned dvd, unable to format dvd, and unable to burn dvd

Unable to read burned dvd, unable to format dvd, and unable to burn dvd with my HP G62-339WM Notebook PCI have been unable to perform the Windows back up for months without using new discs. But even after using new discs Windows backup tells me that the disc that I previously used that it is asking to insert is not formatted. I also have not been able to read any dvds that I previously burned, instead it will sometimes recognize them as blank and they are not. I also cannot perform a format on new dvd discs nor burn to them. I have been able to read some previously burned discs on another pc but not the discs that were created with Windows backup. I have tried everything. I have uninstalled the device, ran the fix it, tried troubleshooting, checked the registry and could not find the upper and lower filters listed. I am however able to read program software and the autorun pops up. Once in a while the autorun will pop up when a blank disc is inserted but then that is all the further I am able to use it. I don't know what else to do. I really want to be able to at least burn files to back up so that they are not lost forever. Please help!

Fixed it myself - for some reason the La Cie refused to read the media. Had to use another machine to pull the data from the drive, copy it over the network to my iMac and then mount the ISO image.

I'm unable to burn DVDs on my MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz, 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Hello all,
I'm unable to burn DVDs on my MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz, 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM running 10.4.8. When I go to burn a DVD I get one of two codes 0X8002006D, 0X80020022, why is that a 3,000 CPU cant burn a DVD. My Mac is total up to date with all software and firmware. I saw in the Discussions that I'm not the first person to have this issue but I don't see an answer from Apple, I'm pretty sure it not the DVDs (Memorex DVD-R 16X) because my ****** pc can burn them and it was a 100 pack that I used about 50 from it that I burn on both Macs and the ****** PC. I also have a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 with 2.5 GB DDR SDRAM running 10.4.8 which is also unable to burn them and it also comes up with the same errors. I have not had this issue until I updated my Macs to 10.4.8, PLEASE HELP.
Thanks,
Coons

Yes I can play CDs and DVDs but I was not able to burn a 4.01GB folder, I have since decreased the folder size to 3.75 and was able to burn the DVD. I'm creating another just to double check, my G5 was unable to complete the task and I also gave a shot at a 2.77GB folder and it failed I also gave a 200Mb file a chance but it still did not burn. I was able to burn the same 200MB file on a CD, PLEASE I NEED HELP.

How do i burn dvd from iMovie

How do I burn dvd from iMovie. iMac has yesomite installed.

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.

Unable to burn DVDs on iMac. Folders dragged to DVD window appear as documents. DVDs from same package burned OK last year. Using Lion. CDs burn OK.

Unable to burn DVDs on 2009 iMac ( Lion ). Folders and any files dragged to DVD window appear as blank documents.
Burned DVDs from same package ( Memorex ) last year OK. CDs burn OK. DVDs are several years old, if that matters.

The music is a tune that was purchased/downloaded from the iTune store. The slide shows (five of them) consist of digital photos (jpg) that I have taken. The interesting thing is that I also have an eMac (about three years old) that I have created the same iDVD project (identical music & identical slide shows). I have been able to burn a DVD disk of this project on my eMac WITHOUT A PROBLEM. The thing I do not like about the eMac is that I purchased family pack of iLife 6 last year (because I liked some of the new Themes). However, when I installed it on my eMac, for some reason it takes about 5-10 minutes to get iDVD 6 "up and running." Once it has loaded the Themes, however, I am "good to go." I've had this computer into the "Genius Bar" at the local area Apple Store TWICE and they are unable to get it to work more efficiently. The even reinstalled the entire operating system to no avail. So, the solution is to launch iDVD 6 on my eMac and then go do something else for 5-10 minutes. But at least I am able to burn my iDVD projects to DVDs.
With my iMac, iDVD launches quickly but is useless since I am unable to burn my iDVD slide show projects to DVD.
So, as a result, I am pretty much ready to "call it a day" with the iMac and will go back to my eMac.
Thanks for your time.

I have a Power Mac G4. I have previously burned DVDs with no problem. Now I get an error message stating it doesn't recognize the disc and an error

I have a Power Mac G4 with OX 10.4.11. I have previously burned DVDs with no problem. Now I've gotten two different sets of messages. One states that
the disc is not readable and an error code: 0x8002006D. The more recent message states the disc is incompatible and an error code: 0x80020025.
What is going on? I need to burn discs immediately for a conference next week.

"The more recent message states the disc is incompatible and an error code: 0x80020025."
The error (0x80020025) refers to an unsupported drive (not disk). I've read about relaunching the Finder to correct the problem. Choose "Force Quit" from the Apple Menu and then choose "Finder." Click "Relaunch" and see if the drive still produces the error. If there's no change, I'd be tempted to replace the drive.

Burning dvd with premiere elements 11

I burn video files on to dvds. I always key NTSC widescreen. Sometimes, the image fills the tv screen. Most of the time however, there is a 2" wide black border around the image, between the image and the edge of the tv screen. How do I get the image to fill the tv screen?

Thank you for responding to my problem. I'm afraid the reading didn't help. All of my 20 files were created with the same camera, the same project settings, the same equipment, etc. But when I burned each of them to their own dvd disc, a few of the programs filled the frame on the tv down the hall. Most however, have a 2" black border around the image. It makes no sense to me.

Unable to burn DVDs because I renamed the drive the project and burn files are on. Please help.

I am unable to burn DVDs because, not thinking, I renamed the external drive the project is on. How do I fix the problem in DVD Studio Pro 4? I changed the name back on the drive, the files show as linked, but it won't burn. I've tried to refresh the assets, didn't help. Relink is not available to try. I tried to go to file/advanced burn & build, but it was not available either. I'm new to all this so am very afraid to trash the preferences, not knowing if I'm going to do other harm.
Thanks,
Trish C

Reimport the files and drop them into the project.
Your links should work.

Cannot Burn DVD with DVD Studio Pro 2

Help.
I can't burn DVDs with DVDSP 2.
Here's the error message :
"Recording Engine : Device is not supported for the requested burn operation."
Anyone else have this problem?
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Sounds to me like you have a LaCie d2 dual layer burner or one of the LaCie burners that has issues. LaCie has created an updated driver to fix this so check the support site:

Unable to burn dvds

I am unable to burn dvds. I'm attempting to backup my iphoto library. When I drag and drop I get an alias icon on the dvd, it does not copy. When I go ahead and try and burn, the disk is ejected and i get them message, "an error has occured" This is my first attempt at burning a dvd.
Do I need additional software?

Do you use PLUS or MINUS media?
Take a look at system profiler whether your drive is capable of writing the format you have chosen.

I really appreciate the fast sent solution about my failure to burn DVDs with Lion, but I am 89 years old and think I know something about computers, but don't have a clue about ZAPPing PRAM nor RESET SMC. I also can't find any evidence of a preserved earlier OS (Snow Leopard). I also don't know how to partition further my drive after all this time…(I used to have Parallels partitioned) but as I said I cannot find any where on the HD SN. Is it possible that it doesn't exist anymore? Not too technical, please, unless that is the only possible answer to this whole delemna..

Blue colored text in these forums usually indicates a clickable link. The two I posted in https://discussions.apple.com/message/18789716#18789716 bring up Apple's articles on those subjects. For partitioning information, peruse Disk Utilities help files, especially

How to burn DVD with project from iMovie ?

Last year I had made several iMovie projects on a macbook pro. I was unable to burn them to a dvd so I ended up transfering them to a Windows computer and using ImgBurn and I successfully made playable DVDs.
I know have a Mac with Yosemite and I just finished a iMovie project. I need to burn it to a playable DVD. I've spent hours researching and trying to find a way. I have Video_TS and Audio_TS files, an iso file, and a mpg file. Surely, if you are able to create a "movie" there must be an easy way to burn it to a DVD?
If a Superdrive is able to burn DVD's shouldn't there be an option somewhere?
I have iMovie 10.0.6
Yosemite 10.10.1
I do not have iDVD

I solved my own problem. After two full days of trying and having multiple videos files (iso, mp4, mpg,video_ts, audio_ts,etc) I was finally able to burn a playable DVD! I ended up using miDVD to burn it. I first exported my iMovie project as a file and opened up the Movies file and dropped it in there. From there it showed up in the miDVD program and it was super simple to get it burned to a dvd that works in dvd players and on my mac.

Unable to burn DVD's

I own a PowerMac G4 with combo drive, 768 SDRAM running Tiger 10.4.3. Purchased a LaCie d2 DVD RW external burner to save my Quicktime movies made with iMovie. Using the software included Toast 6, I am unable to burn a DVD. Numerous calls to tech support over a 2 1/2 month period yielded no help. I returned the unit and received a new one. Same error messages on both units.
" Connection not stable" "Disk failed to be written". I changed the ports on both the computer and burner as well as purchasing a new firewire cable. No change. The only disk that I was able to burn 2 months ago was very pixilated.
Anyone else have this problem?
Any suggestions?
Sorry for the length of the post, but I tried to include as much info as possible
PowerMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Make sure you've installed the most recent Toast update from Roxio.com. If yours is Toast 6 Lite, the current version is 6.1. If it is Toast 6 Titanium it is 6.1.1. Those are required for Macs running 10.4.x.
I believe your error message may be due to poor-quality media. Most often this message appears when using DL media other than Verbatim DVD+R DL. Try using a different brand of quality media.
Another possibility is that your Mac has an OS problem related to its Firewire. These usually can be fixed by downloading and applying Apple's 10.4.4 combined system updater (even though you are already using 10.4.4).
LaCie has a firmware update on its support site. Download and apply it to update the drive's firmware. If the drive doesn't need updating the firmware updater will tell you so. Firmware updates typically increase the brands and speeds of media that the drive will burn to successfully.

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..
