Hi John, that helps heaps.
Drag the file into iMovie. Edit it there, add titles, subtitles too if you
wish. Tidy it up.
Now from within iMovie share it to iDVD. Select a theme that you like. Tidy it
up.
From the File menu select Burn. Your DVD should be ready to play on a home DVD
player or any computer.
Good luck.
Regards,
Eugene
