Burn to Disk

It might be easier to export your movie to your desk top and copy your movie to a thumb drive. First format the thumb drive ExFat so it is compatible with Windows PC as well as Mac, and with smart TVs.

To transfer your movie to a DVD you would need to buy an external DVD burner that would plug into your computer. Then you could use the burn program on your Mac to burn the Movie to a DVD-R disc as a data DVD. (See the Finder help menu for instructions.) The movie would need to be less than 4.7 GB in size to fit on the disc.

If the movie is more than 4.7 GB, or you want to add menus and themes, you would need to purchase a DVD authoring program. I think there is one called DVD Maker by Peng Guiping that is available at the app store for $14.99. You would need to export your movie to your desk top and from there drag it into the authoring program or use whatever import procedure that the program requires.

To burn a DVD you would always need to have an optical drive to do the burning.

Once you have the movie on a thumb drive you perhaps could plug it in to a friend’s computer that has either an internal or external drive, and burn it from there. Or you might be able to borrow a friend’s external DVD burner. I realize that with all the shelter in place orders and social distancing that it can be difficult to make contact.

You could also simply mail the thumb drive to your friend by postal delivery.

How many GBs is your movie? If up to 5 GB you could email it with a free iCloud email account.

For an authoring program burn, the movie would need to be less than 2 hours duration, including menus and submenus, to fit on a standard single layer disc.
