How do I "share' an iMovie project to iDVD with Maverick?

How do I now prepare a movie for sharing with the Maverick update to iMovie? I used to go to "Share-media brower" and then the movie would prepare/finalize. Then I would drag it into my new iDVD project. Now, I cannot figure out how to prepare it for iDVD. Do I share it with iTunes? Everyone is saying this iMovie update works fine with iDVD, but the process for sharing it is no longer obvious (at least to me).

Thanks.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

I haven't tried it yet, but try sharing your project to File, then drag that into iDVD.

Go to File>Share>File, choose the size (probably should choose either SD or Large) then click Next, give it a name, then click Save.

Go to iDVD. Go to File>Import>Video and select the file you just created. It will bring the video into your iDVD project.

One option would be to buy iLife 11:

You might find it cheaper on eBay.

Apple ought to release it free to the public.

Here's another thread about it on these forums:

I'm not able to save a file in iMovie. I've read your posts and these are the steps I'm taking:

Click All Projects under Libraries on the left > Highlight the project > Share > File > Select Large (my movie is 45.5 min. long, est. 2.43 GB at the large size) > Next > Select Desktop as location to Save > Save > a "Preparing Media for Share" box comes up and when that disappears in a few seconds nothing else happens. The file does not show up on the Desktop.

Any suggestions?
