May I please get help burning a DVD that works on a TV that I made in iMovie?

I don’t know any of the programs specifically mentioned as I don’t have a mac, but it’s likely that the iMovie program will have a “Burn as DVD” option. A .mov file won’t work on any DVD player as it’s not the correct format.

If this iMovie program doesn’t have a burning option, you’ll need to find another program that will convert .mov to DVD format.

Hope that helps!

Have you tried Burn yet? It should convert the video to the proper format for a DVD.

@davids Great idea! I looked and found none though. Thanks for trying!

@johnpowell I downloaded BURN and it WORKED!!!

Thank you so much!

I know I’m late to the party, but realize that a .mov is a data file that is only playable on computers; the disc you originally burned is a data disc (DVD-ROM) that can only be read on a computer with QuickTime Player.

The Burn app and others (like iDVD) actually convert the .mov file into MPEG-2 format, and then do a process called Multiplexing that distributes the audio and video into separate packets. The Mac OS disc burning feature will not do that Multiplexing process, only DVD authoring programs do that.

@sndfreQ Thanks for the explanation. It really helped me understand what was amiss.

@Dog you’re welcome :)
