How the heck do I burn a movie to a DVD that will play in a DVD player?

[TwitchOSX]

I had an AVI file and tried to drop it into iMovie, that didn't work so I converted it to an NTSC MPG file. I put that into iMovie but everybody says to click on the Share button and go to iDVD but I don't appear to have iDVD on this computer (it's a fairly new Mac Pro). So, how do I go about burning this movie to a DVD?

EDIT: Looks like iDVD is no longer around. So... again, what do I do here? OSX 10.8, iMovie 11

First, contact apple and complain. I keep hoping that if enough people complain, they will notice.

Second, go to google and search for idvd alternatives.

Burn, which is free, and Toast, which isn't, are the usually recommended solutions.

How to burn a video DVD in Burn:

example below uses an .avi file, but it can also be applied to an .mp4 or .mov file​

​

PS: NTSC MPEG is not really a good format and codec, especially when using iMovie. The above method should work fine, or you could connect your Mac to the TV.

I have tried few free ones which doesn't work well. I always prefer paid one than the free one.
Thank You
