    Yes, that's exactly what iDVD does.

     

    iDVD is not supported by Apple anymore, but if you have a copy, it still works.

    As Rysz pointed out that's exactly iDVD's selling point.  There's a multi menu project I created some time ago:

    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:

    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.

     

    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.

     

    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

    That looks like what I need to do it. In the past I just did a burn of the project from the iMovie/iDVD option
