What to do will all those iPhone videos? Seems no one can answer this?

Since nov. 09 I've been filming with my iPhone. Little videos 1-3 min. Each if my kids or various things. As a result I have hundreds of these videos, they are all categorized by month in my movies folder IE: nov, dec, Jan ect... All I want to do is put each month on a DVD to watch in my DVD player, I just want a title and the videos to play back to back. I dint need fancy menus or chapters or that. Can any one give me the easiest process of doing this? I'm lost. Do I use iMovie?thanks guys.

MacBook pro, Mac OS X (10.6.6), iPhone 4- 4.2.1 / iPad 4.2.1 / iPod touch 4g 4.1

Thankyou, I read somewhere if I don't want to edit them I can just use iMovie? Is that correct. These are all filmed on iPhone, dies the format need to be changed for a DVD? I tried with I movie once and it snows up the file size to something like 7 or 8 gigs. How could I burn a file that large to DVD even if the original files are only 1 or 2 gigs from the iPhone

Sorry but this doesn't make sense:

I read somewhere if I don't want to edit them I can just use iMovie? Is that correct.


Yes you can use iMovie to not edit them? You can also not edit them with Word or TextEdit or Photoshop 😉

Adding titles is editing.

dies the format need to be changed for a DVD


Yes. DVD is a quite specific format and heavily compressed. For more on these apps you will do better posting on the relevant forums for them.

First, you will have to import your movies into iPhoto (or to disk somewhere).
Open iDVD, choose Magic DVD, then drag the movies into the slots available.
You can also add photos if you want.
If you want to give names to your clips, click new Project and go to the Chapters view and name each clip in iDVD.

If you want Titles embedded into the clip that appear on screen, you will have to use iMovie. Embedding "titles" into a movie is editing and must be done in iMovie. iDVD is not a video editor, it is a DVD authoring program.
