iDVD help (NSR)

[Big E]

Any iDVD experts out there, if I have a movie that I have complete in iMovie, and all I want to do is take it directly to DVD, what's the easiest way to do this. Do I have to put menus or anything in? Asking cause I've got the movie done, but will have to use someone else's puter to burn the DVD and I don't want to waste their time.

Muchas gracias...

its easy. export for DVD. then drag that (qtime file) into the custom template. boom. its also easy to add a shot mp3 loop. anyone with or without a labotomy can figure it out in five min.

Buy a real computer. Then you can make DVDs AND play DOOM3.

Pretty simple, like basom said.
Open iDVD
Select a template
Select "Media"
Select "Movies"
Drag your movie over (don't drop it in the yellow/black banded area unless you want it to show as a preview)
You can also drag the .mov file generated by iMovie directly from its folder.

If you're burning to an internal Superdrive, just click the "Burn" button in the bottom right.
If you plan to burn to an external DVD drive, you'll need to open an easter egg within iDVD.

Depends on your version of iMovie. In older versions you have to export the movie uncompressed and then pull it into iDVD. The newest version of iMovie you can export directly to iDVD. In the current version use "Share" to move it to iDVD.

It's so easy you might overthink it. I did the first time. Like others have said it's all drag and drop. Really simple once you get it.
