• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I would imagine that you would copy and paste that into a new iMovie project, save it or export it, then use iDVD or Toast or MiDVD or whatever you're planning on using to handle the DVD making part of the exercise.

I would imagine that you would copy and paste
The problem that I have with that is selecting the various clips,transitions and audio tracks. I find that you can't use the mouse and click and drag over multiple objects to select them all. I can hold down the Cmd key and click on multiple clips and select them, but as soon as I click on an audio track, the video clips get de-selected.

The only way I've found is to duplicate the Project and then delete what I don't want, which can be time consuming.

If there's an easier way, I'd love to know.

Also, keep in mind, most Chapters are not individual files, they are only bookmarks that allow the DVD players to fast forward. Now, if you have a menu movie that plays at the selection screen, that is considered a chapter, and is generally a different file, same goes for "extras". But what you are really dealing with there is moving from iMovie to iDVD to create the DVD application that finally gets burned.

I would copy the video selection you wish to burn to DVD and put it in a separate project and burn that project.
