Mar 16, 2016 9:43 AM in response to calvinbradyby Old Toad,Have you tried dragging the file from the hard drive into the open iDVD menu window? Do you get the same response?
Does the movie have an audio track? it will not encode in iDVD without an audio track. Does the movie play OK in Quicktime Player?
Just created a movie without audio from slides in iMovie 10.1.1, exported at 540p and it imported into iDVD without a problem. However, as I said, it would not encode.

Mar 16, 2016 9:52 AM in response to Old Toadby calvinbrady,Hi, thanks for getting back to me. Unfortunately yes I've tried those things. I can drag in old movies (from previous software updates etc) into iDVD no problem, but the new stuff I create in the new iMovie 10.1.1, even a 1 minute clip, doesn't load into iDVD. It does play in Quicktime with sound too.
I'm totally baffled !

Mar 16, 2016 10:43 AM in response to calvinbradyby Old Toad,Is the music you're using from the iTunes store and has DRM protection?

Mar 16, 2016 12:43 PM in response to Old Toadby calvinbrady,Ok, so oddly enough I exported the file from Quicktime (as the lowest res I think) then loaded that to the iDVD and burnt that onto a DVD. And it worked !
So that's something. But it almost means the route I now need to take to get my home videos on disc are to transfer the movies from my source to the Mac, adjust them iMovie, export them from iMovie using 'Share', Load them in Quicktime then export them again. Then Load them in iDVD and burn.
SURELY this can not be the easiest way to do all of this ? I cant believe the end of the DVD has come so quickly.
PS I don't use an iTunes/DRM music, its all just off my video camera.

Mar 17, 2016 9:15 AM in response to calvinbradyby Old Toad,iDVD was discontinued 6 years ago. So it's no wonder that with the current systems it's showing its age. That's why I have a partition with Mavericks on it so I can run iDVD 7 and iMovie 6 HD.

Mar 17, 2016 9:36 AM in response to Old Toadby calvinbrady,IS there any video editing software that can burn to DVD on the market for Macs ? IS Toast such a program ? I don't mind paying for a decent editor/burner, I'll need DVDs for a long time to come yet.

Mar 17, 2016 10:18 AM in response to calvinbradyby Old Toad,I under stand Final Cut Pro X can do both. Don't know anything about it though. Visit the FCPX forum below to see what its about:
What do you use now to edit the movies?

Mar 17, 2016 10:25 AM in response to Old Toadby calvinbrady,Wow ! £229 ! Ok I wasn't expecting that ! But on the positive it seems you can burn a DVD with it, but only read that on the forum and not on the product advertising (?!)
Thanks for all your help with this. Seems Apple have deliberately screwed people.

Mar 17, 2016 10:41 AM in response to calvinbradyby Old Toad,Be sure to research it carefully. Don't know what type to themes it has but might be somewhat sparse and not much better than Toast or one of the apps via the App Store.
