encoding a dvd from imovies

[mique]

Hi,

ive just finished editing together a movie using imovie then exported a quicktime movie. i want to creat a dvd however i dont have an internal burner so i cant use idvd. how do i encode this file in ffmpex...it wont let me encode at the moment.

thanks for any help

Please supply more information. What does ffmpegX tell you when you try to encode?

well, i selected a few different options from the target format menu eg: dvdffmpeg and then pressed encode - the progress window comes up and then it says failed straight away.

any ideas?

thanks.

What version of iDVD are you trying to use? The one from iLife 5 will burn to an external DVR; the previous versins can be tricked into doing it by the use of two plug-ins (Hurz and Furz) or by using patchburn 3. See this thread:
