# If you have iMovie (and I'm assuming you're on a mac)
then you should have iDVD which will do it without much hassle.

# Nicely!
"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

# You need to create the video in iMovie first.
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.

# you should listen to
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.

# It will
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.

# I was looking at the one you want to get rid of, last night.
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.

A grand's worth of glass for £500, still up for grabs

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