You didn't say which version of iMovie, but you aren't just looking for the Export option in the Share menu?
(can't be that simple )

Share to iDVD is still present in the newest iMovie. You either use Share to Media Browser in Share menu, or right click on your project and the option to Share to iDVD is in the popup menu that appears.

What format and resolution was the source material?
MPEG2 (which DVDs use) isn't as efficient and your material might be too big after conversion.

Great little utility for finding out all about video and audio codecs properties of a file: http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en

There are cheaper tools for doing the same (even using ffmpeg) but for only $0.99 this one is the best I've seen.
