iMovie is a free video editor developed by Apple Inc. for macOS and iOS devices. Its powerful video editing features and wide support of media formats make iMovie to be one of the best video editing software. If you use your iPhone or digital camcorder to record videos and take pictures, you can create a new project to retouch the footage in iMovie directly.
Some people may wonder if it is possible to burn iMovie to DVD. Of course, the answer is Yes. In the earlier iMovie versions, users can make a DVD from iMovie with the ‘sharing & exporting iDVD’ option. However, iDVD was discontinued by Apple since Mac Lion. In the recent iMovie 10 updates, the related options of burning iMovie to DVD with iDVD are removed too.
Don’t worry, you can still put an iMovie on a DVD or CD disc. This article focuses on 2 easy ways to burn iMovie to DVD without iDVD. You can copy iMovie to DVD on any Mac OS and iMovie version with ease.
