Hi,


Generally speaking, you share out your movie as a File to your desktop, and then drag that movie into the upload window of whatever DVD authoring program that you are using. iDVD is an authoring program, as is Toast Titanium. There are several other programs out there. After importing your movie into the authoring program you can insert a Standard DVD -R into your external drive and burn it at 4x speed. Alternatively, you can save the DVD project as a disc image, and burn the DVD from the disc image. That way you only need to encode it once and then can burn as many discs as you want.
