TJ: Anyone know what to do with an MPEG-4 movie file to make it easily viewable on a standard DVD player?

write directly to disk and play on a standard dvd player. You need to re-encode it to DVD format.

computer files innit. Basically, you just need a DVD burning package. I am sure there will be one built into the MAC OS, I just don't know what it would be.

Open iDVD, pick a theme, drag the file in, burn a disc. I think there's even a "magic DVD" or some such one-click feature these days. If lost, use the Help menu.

then you should have iDVD which will do it without much hassle.

"But iDVD will do it without much hassle," didn't apparently, I thought I did everything in iMovie only for nothing to work when I double checked off the DVD i saved it to

iDVD is a separate iLife app.
An option called 'Magic DVD' lets you choose a menu, movie file(s), and burn it.
iDVD has to go through a encoding process as it converts the videos and creates the menu in MPEG-2 format and in a DVD format that DVD players understand. You can't just burn DVD files to a DVD like you would movie files.

Lazygamer before you buy any software though. It sounds like you already have the tools but just need to manually go through the processes. If not doing that and having a package do it for you is worth £35 to you then buy away.

still be a computer disc image that has on it files that only the computer understands.
It must be converted first and then made into a disc image ( vob based Mpeg 2 ) that the player understands.

No use to me as I don't do canon and my trusty old pentax 70-210 lens is still holding its own.
Other models available to me are another ancient but fantastic sony mavica fd92 ( which I still use all the time ) and my Nikon D40 which I never use.

The only b3tans I know who are serious about photography would likely be unable to afford it or like me, don't do canon.

iMovie. What you need is a DVD authoring software that will transcode the file to then burn it in DVD format.
Your best idiot proof bet is Nero. You need a full version of the suite and you need the dvd plugin ( I just realised I have no idea if you can get a mac version ).
forum.mininova.org/index.php?showtopic=234992284
This explains that process and if you can not use nero you are going to have to hunt for a mac avi-dvd authoring software.
The movie needs to be totally transcoded to another format first. Each 700mb movie I do on mine takes about 40 minutes and just over an hour for a 1.39GB standard scene release.
