Hey, have you done a 911 recently about burning a movie to a DVD? A friend was asking and I realized I have no real idea how this is done in the post-iDVD world.
No I haven’t, but it’s time I did.
It’s true, now that Apple has filed iDVD under “Old Technology That Interests Us Not” your options aren’t as clear as they once were. Let’s see if we can bring some clarity to the situation.
To begin with, iDVD, though dead to Apple, still works with Mavericks. So, it’s simply a matter of laying your hands on a copy, installing it, and going about your burning business. Apple no longer sells iLife ’11 (which carries a copy of iDVD 7.1), but you can find a copy on Amazon for $40. I’ve seen copies on eBay going for as little as $10.
Of course you can’t be sure how long iDVD will continue to work. It is, after all, now an unsupported app. Thankfully, it’s not your only option.
Roxio has just released its $100 Toast 12 Titanium. New features include live screen capture, support for exporting video to a greater number of devices, and the ability to burn HD videos to DVD. For our purposes it’s an option because it’s supported under Mac OS X 10.5 – 10.9, and—like iDVD—converts video to a compatible format and offers menu templates. It’s easy to use, does far more than burn discs, and gets the job done.
If all you want to do is get that job done, you could turn to the free and open source Burn. It allows you to burn data, audio, and video discs. When you create a video disc you must ensure that the source movies are in the MPEG-2 format that it demands. (It will convert .m4v movies for you, but not some forms of QuickTime movies.) And while the resulting disc will play, don’t expect fancy menu templates or themes. You get bare-bones titles, navigation buttons, and little else. But hey, free.
Which your friend chooses will have quite a bit to do with their budget and how they want their resulting discs to look. For those rare occasions when I need to burn a movie to DVD I've been able to get by with the copy of iDVD that I still have on my Mac. But I also like what Roxio's done with the latest version of Toast Titanium. If I was interested only in a quick-and-dirty disc recording for testing purposes I might turn to Burn.

␡- Tip 1: Add Any Location to a Travel Map
iMovie '09 is a huge update to Apple's consumer video-editing software—one of those releases where the flagship new features, such as image stabilization or the Precision Editor, really represent just the top crust of what's been baked in. In the process of updating my book iMovie '09 and iDVD for Mac OS X: Visual QuickStart Guide, I found myself slicing-and-dicing the new edition to make room for all of the new material.
The situation with iDVD is oddly the reverse; Apple pretty much left the DVD-creation program alone this time around (with one important exception, as I point out in this article). You can now export a movie directly from iMovie to iDVD, a feature that went absent in iMovie '08, but everything else is the same.
For that reason, and to keep the physical size (and price) of my book reasonable, I decided to pull out the iDVD section and offer it as a free download to anyone who wants it. Click the Downloads tab on Peachpit's book page, or just click here, to open the PDF of the iDVD section of the book. Then save your own free copy—more than 70 pages!
For this article, I've chosen five tips that are easy to overlook, but that can greatly improve your video-editing and DVD-creation experience.

Tip 1: Add Any Location to a Travel Map
One of the flashy new features in iMovie '09 is the capability to create travel maps. Specify two locations, such as cities, and iMovie creates an animated map that draws a red line between the two. iMovie includes a database of 4,000 locations (cities, airports, and many landmarks), which sounds like a lot but doesn't cover the globe.
However, if you know the latitude and longitude of a location, iMovie can place it on one of its maps. Since you probably don't have that information easily at hand (heck, I still get lost in my hometown), do this:
- Go to Get Lat Lon, a website that looks up coordinates for you.
- Enter a place name, such as Elko NV, and click the Zoom to Place button. The specified place appears on the map, with the latitude and longitude coordinates listed below it (in this case, 40.83538, -115.767178). Select those coordinates on the screen, and copy them by choosing Edit > Copy.
- In iMovie, add a map to your project (drag one from the Maps and Backgrounds browser to the Project browser). iMovie's inspector (a floating window) appears, with San Francisco as the Start Location.
- Click a location button to flip the inspector and reveal the Choose Location window.
- Paste the copied coordinates (Edit > Paste) into the field at the top. In the field at the bottom of the window, enter a name for the location (see Figure 1). You can change the name here for any location, even those that are in iMovie's database.
- Click OK.
- To complete the journey, you can then specify another location. To preview the effect, press the slash (/) key to play just that clip (see Figure 2).
