How to Burn MOV to DVD on Mac with Mac MOV to DVD Burner

"First of all, I am totally ignorant to iDVD and video in general. I did some research for my question but can't seem to find a straight answer anywhere. I'm in a heck of a bind with my boss who needs me to burn a 227 MB .mov file to a DVD that can be played on any ol DVD player. I don't need or want any fancy menus or anything. I just need to burn this file to a DVD and have it loop. Or not, I really don't need to have it loop if that is difficult. Can someone please help me with this? I'm running iDVD 7.0.3 on a 20" white iMac (2.16 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB 667 MHZ DDR2 SDRAM, system software 10.5.6). Thank you in advance!!" – Question from Apple Support Communities.

Apple developed the MOV file format to store digital video that was especially encoded to stream through the company’s proprietary media player, QuickTime. As a digital video, MOV files can be shared among users and opened in compatible media player applications. But unlike digital videos that are compressed with the MPEG-2 standard, MOV files are not usually published onto DVD in their native format. Thus, if you have some MOV videos or movies and want to burn MOV to DVD Mac to release space for more important files, or convert MOV to DVD Mac for convenient playback and sharing, this is the right place you should come.

As known to all, Apple has its own DVD burner app. That's iDVD. Similar to Windows DVD Maker for Windows users, iDVD allows Mac users to burn QuickTime movies, MP3 music, and digital photos to a DVD playable on a commercial DVD player. iDVD includes over 100 Apple-designed themes for DVD menus and submenus, allowing for the easy creation of DVD menu systems. Each theme includes "drop zones," onto which movies or photographs may be placed, some of which can be animated automatically. Any theme can be applied to each of the menus in an iDVD project. With iDVD, you could easily burn MOV to DVD Mac.

However, it should be noted that currently iDVD has not been preinstalled in Apple's computer. While initially available only for Macs with a SuperDrive, it was included until 2011 with all new Macs; from iDVD 6 onwards, Apple supports the ability to burn projects with third-party optical drives. iDVD was no longer preinstalled on Macs shipping with OS X 10.7 Lion, and was not available on the Mac App Store with all of the other iLife apps. It was, however, still available in the boxed copy of iLife '11 until iLife '13.
