Why Can't I Export My Final Cut Files to iDVD

Drag or import movie files from Final Cut into iDVD and find problems? In this guide, you will learn the best solution to export your Final Cut files to iDVD on Mac.

iDVD is a discontinued DVD-creation application for OS X produced by Apple Inc. iDVD’s job is to integrate and present assets from other programs. The assets you’re most likely to add to your DVDs are movies you’ve created in iMovie or another video-editing program, such as Apple’s Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro.

Question: I exported a movie for DVD authoring and now have two files. A .ac3 file for the audio and a .m2v for the video. I want to make that into a DVD in iDVD, but it won't allow me to use those files. Says it doesn't recognise them. So what should I be doing to make a file for iDVD? It seems that since iDVD is no longer supported, it's now unclear how to do it because Final Cut no longer has "export to media browser". Hope someone can help. Thanks.
