Dvd burner for imovie on ML 10.8.2?

Have a new Mac with Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on it that did not come with iDVD installed. Trying to find a DVD burner that will be compatible with my ML version. I called Apple and they no longer supply iDVD discs. Argh. Need suggestions! I have tried wondershare and xilisoft 30 day free trials and neither one is functioning properly!

If you are still within your 15 day return period.  Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge.  (There are no realistic substitutes.)
Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.  You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.

If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11  (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

  • DVD burner for iMovie

    Since Apple has obviously bailed on iDVD with the new iMovie release - does anyone have suggestions for making a DVD from iMovie project?

  • Looking for a external blu ray dvd burner for my mac

    looking for a external blu ray dvd burner for my mac

    There are plenty of options but I have found that the LaCie d2 http://blu-ray.burnworld.com/burners/lacie-d2.htm works more consistantly. I use Toast 11 mainly for Blu-Ray. The drive does come with a basic verison of the software which is good for most but you need to upgrade to do some serious authoring.

  • What are the mac-compatible internal/external dvd burner for 12"Pbook

    what are the mac-compatible internal/external dvd burner for 12"Pbook

    ibodnano:
    You will find internal optical drivers from OWC here. You will find external DVD burners from OWC here.
    For the external drives, almost any Firewire burner will be supported by your PowerBook. Here are a few. You can further refine the filters.
    Good luck.

    This may help, but it's an accessory with an extra cost:

    This new Superdrive also supports DVD-Audio so you can load more music into it than a CD.

  • Rate SONY 820 UL/T DVD burner for burning iMovies-what's better?

    I have an iMac G5 with internal CD burner, but not DVD burner. I do have the iDVD and iMovie software--so I installed this external driver to burn iMovie projects and after hours of messing around with my blessed iMac G5 and mystified SONY support techs finally learned it won't burn iMovie or Quicktime movies with Mac software bundle it comes with (Roxio Toast Lite 6..) Should I send back driver and get something else, or stick with it and upgrade to Toast 7? I am frustrated since the Sony/Mac software bundle leads you to believe you CAN burn your videos.

    Hello Artcart,
    the main difference between iDVD and Toast is, that iDVD is primarily an authoring software (it authors the structure of the DVD with possibility of multiple menus, movies/slideshows) while Toast is a disc burning app ( with the possibility of encoding movies for DVD).
    If you look through the iDVD discussion board you'll find that most users adopt the "divide and conquer" method:
    1. Author the DVD in iDVD because it gives you more choices for menus etc.
    2. Create a disk image (a file that behaves like a DVD, but is stored on your HDD)
    3. Burn the image file to DVD with Toast (more reliable for burning)
    I should be able to select/drag my (NTSC formatted) iMovie project into Toast and the SONY drive will indeed burn a nice DVD for me?
    Absolutely. Toast does the encoding, but offers you only a very simple menu (start-up screen). if that is sufficient for you, you can do without iDVD.
    To add this: I've been using an external LaCie burner for the last 2 years to create DVDs for a living, and have had a very low failure rate .... no worries
    I am not sure what "menu" selection you mean--the "play" title menues offered in iDVD?
    Yep.
    hope this helps

  • What is the best DVD burner for Mac OS Lion

    I've recently bought a new iMac Lion desktop and was very disappointed to find out that I can't download DVD burning software. Is iSkysoft an okay software to use and is it better than iMovie.
    I have also lost recent imports from my camcorder to iMovie because it shuts down!! I can't believe the new iMac SHUTS down unexpectedly!!!! I thought only PCs would do that!!! I am really annoyed.
    Any ideas on how to find that hour of video on my computer?
    thanks
    J

    Obviously you are having an issue with iMovie. I would recommend you begin trouble shooting that issue before looking for replacment software. There is an iMovie forum you can post to, also if you have purchased AppleCare or the machine is less than 90 days old you have AppleCare coverage and a possible solution is only a phone call away.

  • Best dvd burner for Mac mini

    What brand of DVD burner is most compatible with the Mac Mini? I haven't found one that specifically lists Mac OS in the specifications information.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Many brands are compatible, including Pioneer for example, but for the Mac mini, I'd start with http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/mac-mini/superdrive/ for internal and http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/optical-drives/ for externals. Of the latter, http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MRBFWU2D112/ would be my own choice for DVD burner at reasonable price.
    This supplier specializes in Mac peripherals, and these devices will certainly work. There are other suppliers and other brands of course, but the above is a good place to start.

  • Best External dvd burner for dual layer disks?

    Hi everyone,
    At some point my internal dvd burner in my mac book pro died, and apple replaced it. After that, I couldn't burn a dual layer disk. They've changed it twice more to accomodate me (the genius bar is awesome), but I still only have mediocre results. No problem burning regular dvds or cds. So I wondered is there a REALLy good external burner for DVD-DL that you have experience with? Thanks!

    A good bootable multi-interface enclosure (empty) for an external CD/DVD drive will run about US$70.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MRSFW8U2RF/
    They also sell SATA drives pre-installed in that same enclosure.
    Many users find installing an internal drive themselves no more difficult than doing a memory upgrade themselves.
    Others prefer not to work inside their computer.
    Based on your graphics card and the original drive, I expect your Mac Pro is an older model. All before 2009 accept an ATA INTERNAL drive such as this:

  • External DVD burner for G4

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there are any external dvd burners for a G4 with a USB port that is under 2.0. Also, it's a 400 firewire. Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    If you're Mac profile is accurate, you will have problems with any new drive: OS9.1 will not natively support any new drive, and will not allow you to burn DVD's at all without third party software, such as Toast 5.2.3 (last version that can burn to DVD-/+R (no DL media), and run in OS9)
    All USB2.0 drives are backwards compatable w/USB1.01, BUT USB1.01 will not support DVD burns, as it cannot run faster than 4X CD-R (way too slow to burn a DVD (1X DVD = 9X CD)).
    You will want to go with a FireWire-based drive, if you go external, as WWJD pointed out.

    Howdy! Welcome to the Apple Discussion Boards!
    I have a good opinion of LaCie burners. I have had one for over two years now with nary a problem. I used it with a PB G4 12 inch model. It comes bundled with Toast Titanium, which is really good burning software, IMO.
    As far as system specs, check out LaCie's website, but I think anything above 10.2 would be supported.

  • DVD Burner for an eMac

    Hi I have an eMac 1 GHz PowerPC G4 with 640 MB SDRAM and running OSX 10.4.8. I purchased the machine with only a CD Burner over a year ago. Now I would like to have add an external DVD burner. What will work with my machine? I have tried searching Apples site and visited my local CompUSA. Neither has been very helpful. Thanks for your assistance.
    - Chris

    I actually just purchased a brand new Pioneer 111D 16x DVD Superdrive from eBay for $60. (This is the drive Apple installed in the latest G5's).It was extremely easy to install and even came bundled with software to install Tiger (grey eMac only disc), World Book encyclopedia, and Quicken software.
    Being that my eMac is refurbished and doesn't have Apple Care (I purchased a similar plan through my insurance company instead) I had to do the installation myself. All I had to do was connect the cables and the drive booted the next time I turned my computer on. I'm not sure I can post non-Apple affiliated links but try an eBay search for "superdrive" if you're interested in that option.

  • Looking for an DVD burner for my laptop

    Hi there,
    I'm in the process of looking for a good but cheap DVD Drive that would fit into the laptop HP Pavilion DV7-3188cl. Can anyone please give me some advice?..Any help is greatly appreciated.. Thanks for the help in advance..
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Use your P/N on hp driver site and find the Service Manual and see what it list for OD that it uses and you can then use that to reference what DVD burner drive you can get. And if it is a Sata drive most Newer OD are sata you just have to make sure it is a DVD burner and then swap the faceplate to match the original one.

  • DVD Burner for i book G4?

    Hi,
    I have downloaded and edited a film on i movie, and assumed i could burn it onto a DVD. (I bought the computer for i tunes so didn't check out its other programs. Therefore i don't really know whether the computer has a DVD drive installed?) I will put the computer details below so would be grateful if someone could help me not be so stupid! I need to download the movie onto DVD, and if the computer isn't compatible can you explain how, and where i can buy, a seperate DVD burner. Thanks.

    Any help would be great. Thanks

    It looks like you only have a DVD reader and not a writer, so will not be able to burn it onto a DVD
    I cannot advise on external DVD writers as I have used on

  • Best options for external DVD burner for MAC Pro

    The internal DVD/CD burner died in my MAC Pro -
