Burn or SmallDVD would do the job. You're just needing any old DVD authoring program.

I seem to recall a couple other open source ones, but their names escape me at the moment.

You just need a third-party software like a DVD Creator. If you are using Mac OS, you can just searching Mac DVD Creator on google and notice that the software supports converting iMove to DVD. Good luck...

Roxio Toast might do what you want. But it's not free. Burn is good if you just want to be able to drag a movie file that was exported from iMovie and make it playable on a DVD (nothing fancy though).

Apparently you can still install iDVD if you change your date to before March 2012. After updating it you can then change your date back.

iDVD sucks now though. Apple hasn't updated it in years. No new themes and it takes a long time to encode things with it. I had to do a DVD on my iMac (2011 27" with i7 upgrade) and it still took 5-6 hours to do it.

It's slow, but the quality is better than stuff like Toast. Toast has lousy themes BTW. There are no new themes with iDVD, but the themes are still better than most apps out there.

That's true. Toast is nice because it's fast, but sucky themes. iDVD is nice because it has good themes, but it's slow. Adobe Encore works well (but it's a big investment).

...no.

I think it was DVDStyler, although I remember getting it from Sourceforge.

It seems most of these programs aren't free, I want to know whether OP found a way to solve this problem yet?

I've mentioned three free ones. Do you want more choices?

Disk Utility. Finder. But, I like Burn the best. Disk Utility isn't all that direct, and I have only gotten Finder to burn a disk once.
