will a movie that is assembled on IMOVIE and exported to IDVD copy onto a blank -R DVD, and will it play on a television? or only on a computer?

Yes, it will. Toast can copy data (from a disk produced in iDVD) to a blank dvd and once done, the dvd will behave as though it was produced by iDVD.

You would have to convert the video to an appropriate format to be written to a standard DVD. They won't "play" if simply burned to a DVD. There are many freeware applications out there that should be able to do this.

I have an iMac, and have had trouble downloading the videos too! iMovie, iDVD and the enclosed software don't work. I can get the stills, but not the video! argggh!Gretchen

Yes. I bought this frame to use on a science fair display board. I used iMovie to combine two videos and some text. Once I got the iMovie converted to something the frame supports (which does not seem to be anything apple related) (although i may just not be tech savvy enough) the frame cycled the movie during the science fair as it was the only video file. If you have a string of videos it will play them in the order they appear on the list and then start over. You can mute the sound or have it playing as well.

I have not played commercial DVD movies but homemade DVD movies play no problem. I am 99.9% sure commercial DVD's will play as well.

i have had success with playing the DVD on various machines by using the FINALIZE disc option. use SETUP, then DISC EDIT, then FINALIZE and choose YES.

I don't believe a blank DVD has any regions format assigned from manufacturing, so they should be able to be recorded for any region. I have not had any trouble recording several different regions from the original DVDs.

I can't say for sure if the software will work, but that won't matter, if you're planning on getting some kind of extra software you will be fine. You'll be able to get the video on to the computer no problem.

I have a Mac. However, I have Final Cut Pro, which I use to download footage from my Canon. So, although I have never used it with Mac software, it's possible it could work with iMovie.

In addition to commercial DVDs I have only tried dvd-r which it plays OK. Those are movies copied on my Mac.

Yes, it will play commercial Blu-Ray. I use ArcSoft's TotalTheater. I don't know about Imac.

How does one convert the mov files into something that can be playable on non PC DVD players? All I can do is burn mov files onto DVD that play on PCs only. I'd like to be able to make DVDs to play on regular DVD players. Please help!

Yes you can put it on the Mac. The file format for video are AVI and photos are JPEG. You might need to use another program free at the MacApp store to convert files for iMovie, but you definatly can put files on Mac to share.

I use mine on my Mac with iMovie software... iMovie is sooo easy to use compared to most, I would recommend it... Of course, you need a Mac!

I dont know. I have not tried a store bought movie yet. I wont do anymore until i figure out how to burn the dvd so that it will play on regular dvd player on the tv. So far its just on the Mac it will play.

If you have them on a DVD and want to copy it this would work either on +/- Not sure how the RW format would perform.
