So my wife is going to use hones tech VIdbox for Mac to convert old VHS-C tapes to DVD. Issue I'm coming across after reading multiple blogs on Apple support community is that iMovie 10.1 does not have a dvd burn option or share option. What I'm trying to do is find the simplest way for either her or I to utilize iMovie to create and edit the DVD and then burn them!!!! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!! Its supposed to be a family present for Xmas!!!
For that you will iDVD.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.
The issue I am having is acquiring iDVD since apple discontinued it! If you have a like that has that app available for download that would be a great help! I tried to search for iLife but could not find a verified copy as well!!!!!!
Did you read my link?
You purchase iLife from Amazon or eBay.
didn't see the link but i just did appreciate the info! huge help now my wife can breathe!
Good report, thanks.
Have migrated iDVD from a MacPro to a iMac 5K,etc.
Now have El Capitain and iMovie 10.1.
Have tried to follow your instructions but cannot find the "export button" you refer to that allows you to set 480 ?
Appreciate your feedback.
regards
There isn't an Export option. Apple is turning away from users by doing stupid things. For instance, they've eliminated the CD/DVD drive. What, do they think nobody wants to create their own movies on DVD any more? Yes, I have the super-drive external to burn with, but that's so 1990 isn't it?
And they've whacked iDVD. What the ****? One of the most important features about Apple computers was EVERYTHING I NEED WAS INTEGRATED AND INCLUDED. Not any more.
So, to your question, use the File>Share>File option. Buy an old copy of iLife off eBay. I'm using iDVD 7.1.2 with my iMovie 10.1.2
how do I burn a dvd with iMovie?
