It's a great application - I use it in preference to quicktime for viewing movies.These tools use open source (GPL) command line applications such as CDRDAO to do the heavy lifting. VLC is a media player you can use to test your bin/cue files before burning a disk.The alternative is to buy Toast 6.0 (I'm too cheap) that let's you burn your bin/cue file created in ffmpeg onto a CD. Missing Media burner - a free ware app.ffmpeg - a shareware application (with free demo) that let's you convert your DV quicktime movie to a bin/cue file suitable for burning a VCD/SVCD.

Export your iMovie to Quicktime in full quality DV format.The quality is also not bad!Here's what you need to create a VCD/SVCD: Another bonus is the media is far cheaper than DVD's. These are a poor man's DVD that can be created on an older iMac or any other mac that has a CD burner but not a superdrive.The CD's will then play in most home DVD players - a very cool way of sharing your movies with friends and family.
