    You will need authoring/burn software to burn it. There are several choices:

     

    iDVD (the best choice) - no longer available from Apple, but still available as part of retail iLife 09 or 11 disk, available at online resellers and ebay. Customizable menus, themes, etc to get a "pro" final result to make your movie look good on TV.

     

    Roxio Toast ($$) -  excellent burn software with lots of options, but very limited with customization.

     

    Burn (free) - (or google for others) - very simple, but does work.

     

    Once you get the necessary app, export your movie from iMovie and then insert/drag/import it into the app you've chosen and burn.
