Alternative to iDVD that isn't a fortune?

Quick question--and no need to get into WHY--but anyone know of a reliable DVD authoring program other than iDVD that doesn't cost too much?

define 'authoring' ...
Toast allows 'dv' imports and create menus and videoDVDs... (when you own, why not reading the manual....?); afaik, the latest version even allows customized menus....
Sizzle allows to lay out structures with a grafical interface....
VisualHub too creates videoDVDs from 'video' input...
Burn is very reduced ...
... if you give us a little more info, what you try to accomplish, answers could be more precise... and: why not searching the apps, I mentioned at sites as versiontrackers and read the infos...?
when you don't like to spend money for a programmer's skills, the more you are in charge to help yourself.. ;))

Alternative to iDVD

Dear Friends
I have a ibook G3. I have bought a external DVD burner for it.
I have made some films on iMovie that I have exported to Toast Titanium for burning, but I don't like how it handles menus and buttons. Do you know by chance a nice alternative to iDVD that I can't install into my ibook, that features the same DVD structure capacities?
Best
Pedro

Hello Pedro,
Have a look around in Here
Some free, some shareware. All pretty good. Personal preference me thinks!
Hope that helps some

I have music on iPod touch that isn't listed in iTunes, can't seem to "manage" the content

Sheesh. I know it's supposed to be simple & intuitive, but I can't quite figure some things out. Now, I may have reloaded iTunes since I had to rebuild my PC. Fortunately, my library of music - mainly from CDs - was saved on a backup.
1. I have some music that isn't quite listed in iTunes
Creedence Clearwater Revival album Chronicle Volume 1 also shows up as Chronicle, Vol.1 on the iPod
but it shows up only as Chronicle, Vol. 1 in my Music Library. How did it duplicate itself and how do I get rid of the duplicates?
note that these duplicates do not appear in iTunes, so clicking on Display Duplicates does not find them.
2. I cannot remove the rogue versions of songs either directly from the iPod or from iTunes
3. I cannot adjust the columns or sort order when viewing my iPod's Music in iTunes
4. Sync is not checked for any of the categories in iTunes
if I check the Sync box for music, it states it will wipe out my music and replace it with my library. My whole library won't fit on my 8 GB iPod. How do I pick and choose what goes to the iPod. Do I really need to wipe out the contents of my iPod first?
5. Last question - Can I assign the album art that was ripped from my CDs to the albums/songs imported from My Music in Windows to iTunes?
So I'm a bit frustrated but very open to solutions. My iPod touch is maxed out and I want to adjust what content - pictures, apps, music & playlists only - gets loaded on the iPod.
Help! Help! Thanks!!

- From your description you did something to iTunes on the computer such that the iPod sees ythe iTunes library as a new library. That is why you are getting the message about erasing when you try to sync. Yu can, as you are doing, managing music with the computer since you can do that among different conputer. See:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
- If all music, apps, sysnced photos are on the computer you need to:
--- Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecing Backup and then restore the iPod from that backup.
- You can transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- You can transfer non-iTunes purchaed music by using one of the third-party programs discussed here. Some of those may also do synced photos.

Whats the best alternative to idvd for burning a disk with pics to play in a dvd player?

Whats the best alternative to idvd for burning a disk with pics to play in a dvd player? I don't want to deal with older versions of ilife.

Whats the best alternative to idvd for burning a disk
In my opinion, there are none.
Yes, there are other programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, DVD Creator, Wondershare, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

Alternatives to iDVD with longer content

I have a tutorial file that I downloaded from a 3D site and would like to burn it to a DVD that I can watch on my TV (or a portable player). It is 2 hours long, and when I brought it into iDVD (3.0), it said it was longer than the 90 minute limit.
Is there a simple alternative out there for burning a DVD movie besides iDVD that will play in a standard player?
Thanks!

I have been storing my Aperture and IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive that recently died. Fortunately I've been using Time Machine to back up to a 2nd external drive. How do I restore my libraries to a new external hard drive?

I have been storing my Aperture and IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive that recently died. Fortunately I've been using Time Machine to back up to a 2nd external drive. How do I restore my libraries to a new external hard drive?

This is a tricky one.
Open up Time Machine and go back to a date using the timeline on the right side of the window when you know the drive was working and was backing up as part of Time Machine backups.
Click on the name of your Mac under the Devices heading on the left side of the window in Time Machine, and if things are working correctly you will see Macintosh HD (or whatever you have named it) and the name of the external hard drive that was backing up in the past.
Right-Click on the name of the external hard drive and then click on "Restore (name of drive) to....." You may be asked for your adminstrator password at this point.
It might be easier to restore the drive contents to your desktop if you have room on your Mac, and then copy things over to the new external drive where you want to store the Aperture and iMovie Libraries.
Once the libraries have been moved over the new external hard drive, you will likely need to "point" Aperture and iMovie to the location of the libraries on the new external hard drive.

When i try to update my apps from the app store some of the apps wont update and ask for an Apple ID that isn't mine. Whats the problem and how do i fix it? All im trying to do is update my apps and its asking for these random apple ID's.

The apps were purchased by another user with a different Apple ID. You will have to erase them and repurchase them using your Apple ID.

Firefox 7 is forcing me to fill out a form field that isn't required. I've used FF on this site for years but when I upgraded to FF7 it no longer works. IE it works fine.

Firefox 7 is forcing me to fill out a form field that isn't required. I've used FF on this site for years but when I upgraded to FF7 it no longer works. IE it works fine.

It's our internal applicant tracking systems (resume database). It works fine in IE and all previous verisons of FF but in FF 7 a bubble icon pops up stating that "Please fill out this field".
The field is not required but states "Require all of these words" if you to run a search based on those parameters.

How do I remove an apple ID that isn't mine from my Ipod Touch

I am unable to update my apps or purchase apps in the App Store on my Ipod Touch. When I try to do this, it asks me to sign in with my password to an account that isn't mine (it belongs to a friend who has used my itunes before on my computer). I can't seem to get my own apple id/email to come up so I can proceed with the app store updates and purchases.
I have tried going to settings--> store and signing out, but I seem to still be signed into my actual apple ID.
As far as I know, all the apps on my ipod touch were purchased by me, so my own apple iD should be the only one that comes up when accessing the appstore.
Any ideas on how to make my own apple ID pop up when in the appstore would be greatly appreciated.

When you go to Settings>Store can you sign out and sign in with your ID?
That should work with purchasing new apps. It is likely that the other users purchased apps with his account. You have to log into the account that purchased apps to update them. If you have apps that need updating that were purchased from more than one account, you have to update the apps one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased with one account.

My phone has the correct AppleID in the in settings section but asks me to login with one that isn't mine. I deleted the ID from my itunes but it still won't let me login with mine. How do I get my iPhone on the same page?

My iphone4 has the correct Apple ID in the information settings section and asks me to login to my ID most of the time but when I try to update my apps, it asks me to login with an ID that isn't mine. I deleted the wrong ID from my itunes but it still won't let me login with my own ID to update apps. How do I get my iphone on the same page?

How did you obtain these apps? All apps are DRM protected & tied forever to the account used to originally obtain them. They cannot be transferred to another Apple ID(account), nor can they be updated using any Apple ID other than the one that was used to originally obtain them.

Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative to iCal that will interface with the Cloud? I find iCal to be poorly designed and not very efficient.

Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative to iCal that will interface with the Cloud so it works on the iPhone and the Macbook? I find iCal to be poorly designed and not very efficient. I waste a lot of time entering information because you can't go to a specific day and enter information, nor can you navigate between months and add information on a specific date by clicking on the date. You can't easily scroll month-to-month and once you do by scrolling through nine months to get to where you want to be, you cannot enter information by clicking on a specific day in the month and entering information. I just called Apple and they verified that this is the way it works. You cannot go to a date and enter information, you keep getting thrown back to today and then you have to go into the calendar and change it manually on the screen. It is just not efficient.

APC, CyberPower are reliable.

I just bought a brand new iPhone 4s from a Three store. When I used the cloud restore to put the data from my old 3gs onto the device, it's prompting me for an Apple ID login with an email address that isn't mine!

I just got a brand new iPhone 4S on a contract from my local Three store. When I used the cloud restore to put the data from my old 3GS onto the device, it's prompting me for an Apple ID login with an email address (hotmail) that isn't mine! My old phone has NEVER had any Apple ID other than mine log into it, and the new one's a sealed box that I've opened and set up from scratch. Can anyone please explain this? I'm worried there's some kind of problem with my iCloud data being mixed with someone else's or something... Since I logged in with my own ID, it's downloaded the data perfectly fine, but I just got the Apple ID prompt again a moment ago with this same hotmail address in it... I'd be very grateful for any explanation!

In iTunes on your computer, select the Purchased section under STORE in the left column. Click on the first track and choose "Get Info" from the "File" menu.
In the "Summary" tab you'll see details of the purchaser of the track. Click Next to go through all your purchased music one by one until you find the ones you need to get rid of.
Unfortunately, there are no smart playlist rules that can filter tracks by the purchaser that I know of.

1. This report uses a data connection that isn't fully supported by this version of the Crystal Reports designer. You can modify the report in the designer, but the following actions that access this connection will fail: Browse data, verify database, and report preview. We recommend you set the datasource location to a JDBC or Java Result Set data source.

thanks to people that can help ...

There are some other solutions possible.
1. Get another driver. The only one known is java only so it wont crash. But is not not free.
2. Use a proxy driver. That means that another app actually does the database work. If it crashes you just start it again (which you can do in your main code.) That way it won't take down your server. There are commercial jdbc drivers that claim MS Access but are are really just proxy implementations as an option in this area.

Alternative to iDVD that isn't a fortune?
