so I finally stumbled through editing my first gopro footage on our new Imac w/Imovie and although we do not have IDvD I was able to burn it to a DVD, when it was done it said I would be able to watch it on a pc or my mac. I did'nt pay much attention to that & tried to play it in our blue-ray player but it would not play but would play on the computer. Any thoughts? Hopefully I will post it on here or youtube although it has been edited it is still 24 min long so I may have to cut it up?

Reburn it and pay attention to any options to "finalize" or "close" the dvd session. This has to be done in order to play the dvd on other players besides the computer it was rendered on.
