What software do I need so i can burn a DVD from iMovies?

I simply want to burn a DVD from my iMovies and send to another party to be able to play on their computer or DVD.

Apple don't want you to do that.
The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast.

Copy what kind/type of DVDs? For non-copy protected DVDs you can use Disk Utility (in the Applications folder) to make a disk image of the DVD disk and then burn it back to a disk.

What RAM do I need and where can I get it from?

Hi all,
I know this is probably a simple question, but I just want to make sure I don't mess up my computer! I have an old school DV iMac, and bought the Mac OS X upgrade not too long after it came out (which is rather a while ago now!), but couldn't install it became I don't have enough RAM. And I obviously have just put it off and off. Now I'm at uni, and want the computer to work as well as it can for my mum, because she's even worse than me when it comes to computers. So, anyway, I need RAM. What type do I need and where can I get it from fairly cheaply? And how much would you recommend I get? My friend says he knows how to put it in, so all okay there hopefully/
My computer's details:
Processor info: PowerPC G3
Machine speed: 400MHz
OS: 9.2.2
Built-in memory: 64MB
I remember being able to get more details than this from somewhere on the computer, but I can't remember where...I haven't used it for 6 months or something, and am obviously getting forgetful.
Hope someone can help. If you need to know anything else, tell me where to get the info from and I will tell you!
Cheers,
Fran

Hi,
I just bought some RAM from Crucial.
If you go to www.crucial.com/uk and follow the Crucial Memory Advisor Tool, you should be able to find the RAM for your Mac.
1 GB sticks are pretty good value at the moment (they've even gone down a few pounds since I bought mine a week ago) and if you enter this code (found it on aonther thread here) you might get a couple of pounds knocked off the total: CUSTOMPC
There's also places like Kingston & Cancom to try, as well as Misco.co.uk. But Crucial select the recommended RAM for your Mac.
Also, when you think you've found the right RAM and want to buy it, try the Apple agent chat, and double-check with them.
Hope this is useful.

Does adobe have a product that can burn a dvd from an iso image?

Does adobe have a product that can burn a dvd from an iso image?
(The ISO image is not video, it is software).
and
Does adobe have a way to mount an ISO image to a virtual drive?
(Again not video)
I have encore, but have never used it. Im not sure what it does.
I assume it deals with dvd video but maybe it can handle ISO images.
Thank you
Jerry

I have created an extensive slideshow w/music on my MacBook Pro iPhoto. How do I export a slideshow so that I can burn a DVD from it? "Help" does not offer info for this request, only if you want to export to another Apple device. Help!!!

I have created a lengthy slideshow with music on my MacBook Pro under Iphoto. What steps do I need to take in order to burn a DVD copy of this slideshow? "Help" does not offer info for this transaction, only if you want to export to another Apple device and it shows that you must first export to Itunes. Can anyone help me with information on just copying to a DVD? I don't want to email it or show it on another Apple device. I want to be able to burn multiple copies on DVDs as a gift...... Can it be done? I'm not real computer savvy

Connect the device to the computer.

How can I burn a DVD from iMovie from my Mac book pro

Since the new mac book pro does not have a DVD drive and does not come with iDVD, I can't figure out how to burn DVD's from iMovie.
I have the external drive and was under the impression that it would be able to burn DVD as well as play them.
Any help is greatly needed. I have many movies I made in iMovie and need to burn to DVD for players.
Thank you

You need this: http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/idvd.html#custom
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

How can I make dvd from imovie..

Hi I recently wrote this question in another topic but
it seems that it is better to re-question in a new thread..
I am using imovie for some years but to make dvd, I use Toast 6 not i dvd, because mine doesn't burn dvd.
So far I needed to make a DVD of only a short movie (15 minutes) so what I did was:
import the finished movie to quicktime (as high quality DV movie format) and then
burn DVD in Toast.
And with that format, 15-minute-short movie ended up 4 GB.
Now I need to make a dvd of a longer film (50 minutes) and if I want to
make DVD with this way, in order to make a quicktime mpeg4 format it takes 270 minutes..
I have always had difficulties to understand the right format for DVD; I know that I have to make mpeg2 (right?) for DVD, but in i movie, if I cann't use idvd, what should I do??
I hope that anyone can help me with this, maybe silly, question..
wishing all a good day,
minobu

ciao minobu,
Canada still asleep , Germany on duty
In Toast (as in iDVD) you have two options: burning a dvd or produce an image of a dvd...
a) ... is simple: finally you get your disk (physical)
b) ... the whole computing process of making a movie into the file system of a video-dvd happens, BUT it end not in using the burner, but storing the "image" (=files and data structure) of the dvd.
your Mac is able to "mount" such an image; after that you see a disc symbol on your desktop! (as you would have inset a real dvd....). you can "open" that virtaul sic with Apple's dvdplayer to check, wether it looks like you wished. and you can have look about its size finally, you can force Toast to "transfer" that image onto a real dvd-r
as said, that could be done with iDVD5/part of iLife05 too........
probably it is not on your iBook, because the installers checks, wether a burner is installed/your iBookG3 doesn't fullfill the minimum specs... even with Toast producing a DVDs on a iBook G3 is a very long time consuming process...

HT1152 When I burn a DVD from iMovie, it shows up as just a series of folders when playing it back on a TV/DVD player..What is the problem?

Help!! I am a new Mac user and have Os X Lion. My son and I are starting to use imovie and have downloaded several video's from his new HD digital Bloggie camera. I just want to burn a basketball game to a DVD. So I went into imovie, followed the steps to iDVD and then Burn. But, when I put the DVD in the TV to play, it just shows a series of Folders. What is the problem? I am burning to DVD+R memorex.

Hi, you posted this in
Mac OS & System Software > Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard
You're running Lion and this is an iMovie question. I've asked it be moved. It will help if you post in the correct forum in future because it will speed up your getting an answer.

Can't burn to DVD from iMovie (4.0) using iDVD. Can I use another program?

Suddenly, after making several DVDs with this computer using its old version of iMovie without trouble, I can't burn my latest creation...I'm getting a message saying that "You cannot use this version of the application iDVD with this version of Mac OS X."
I cannot update to the newest OS X Snow Leopard, because I've tried and my computer is not intel-based.
So, has my iDVD application has been updated to suddenly be incompatible?? How has it worked before?
(I've tried to upgrade my iMovie application to the current iMovie '11, but my computer is not intel-based.)
Is there another solution to my problem? Is there another application that I can use to burn from iMovie to a DVD besides using iDVD? (Remember, I have an old computer.) :o)
Thank you so much for any help you can give!

You can try using BURN at http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html

What software do I need to move "file.mov" to dvd?

I'm new to the apple world ... have miDvD and have moved file.avi to a dvd, but can't seem to be able to do the same with a file.mov that my grandgaughter sent me. PLEASE HELP

It lloks like miDVD only supports .mov file that use the H.264 Codec. Do Get Info on your .mov file and see what the codec is. If it's "Motion JPEG OpenDML, Linear PCM", I think you'll need to convert the file to the H.264 codec.

How can I burn a DVD from iMovie '11?

I just discovered that iDVD does not come with iLife '11 as part of the 10.7 OS. The option to "share" as a DVD is still part of iMovie 9.0.4, but the process never completes because iDVD is not there. Is there a work around? Apple suggested using third-party software, but I don't know which software would work with iMovie. Since I work for a school district, this issue is likely to come up again at many school sites using 10.7, so I appreciate any advice you can give.

That is a solution for my particular Mac, but it doesn't solve the problem for our entire school district. It would be very costly to purchase a copy of iLife '11 for each Mac 10.7 in our school district. I am talking hundreds of computers.
Is there a program or app that could be purchased independently, and more cheeply than the iLife suite, that could mimic what iDVD did? Afterall, I already have iMovie and iPhoto. I just need iDVD or something similar.

I was attempting to burn a dvd from iMovie but after several attempts could not. Contacted tech support and they say lion iMovie doesn't support burning movies. What a rip (excuse the pun). What do I do now?

Imovie in os10 lion doesn't allow you to burn dvds. How do I do it then?

iMovie has never been able to burn DVDs.
It's iDVD that burns DVDs.
Currently the only place to get iDVD is if you buy a boxed version of iLife 09 which you can still find at places like Amazon.
There are also alternatives to iDVD. You can read about some of them here:
http://www.tuaw.com/2010/10/28/after-ilife-11-alternatives-to-idvd-and-iweb/
Depending on your movies size, it may also be possible to create a QuckTime version of it and burn that to a data DVD that others can play back on their comptuers.

Burning onestep DVD from iMovie, the result is a copy of the movie that loops continuously. Can this be remedied? I just want to burn it once.

My iDVD(7.1.2) one step recording loops indefinitely. It was done from an iMovie (9.0.4). Is there a way to stop the looping?

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?

What Software do I need???

Hi folks,
I'm new to BO so to start from scratch I'm trying to figure out what desktop Software I have to put on my workstation to unleash the full power of BO, work with our BO server and get the SAP Best Practice for BI up and running. I downloaded the following stuff from service.sap.com:
- Xcelsius 2008
- Crystal Reports 2008
- BO XI 3.1 Edge
I kind figured these would be the most recent releases.
I first installed Xcelsius, then Crystal Reports. When installing BO XI 3.1 it gave me an error that it can't be installed with Crystal Reports already there. So I uninstalled Crystal Reports 2008 and installed BO XI 3.1 . The SAP Best Practice BI scenario comes with a lot of .rpt files which are Crystal Report Project files as of my knowledge. But I can't install Crystal Reports anymore. I guess because of BO XI 3.1
So I wonder what software I actually need. I haven't found any source that clearly states what applications to install for what reason and in what version. It would be really great if someone could bring some light into this!

Hi Robert,
You can install a Virtual station software like VMWare and stuff like that.
After installing VMWare please allocate some space for this and then install the OS with that then you can install the Crystal reports.
Where you can use the Crystal reports and BO at the same machine.
Hope this helps...
Regards,
Ravi Kanth
