Is iDVD version, 7.0.1 iDVD '08?
Is iDVD version, 7.0.1 iDVD '08?
Thanks
Jeremy
There is not an obvious link between the version number and the year the version was released. Unless you are a fanatic, you are not likely to know unless the information is provided to you. I have had macs for years and each time I upgrade the old software just gets transfered across. So whether was '08 or earlier, say '07 or '06, well you would have had to be paying attention, or even using the software, which I haven't always done. There is more to life that what is on my computer.

Trying to make a DVD with an old/non-existent version of iDVD!
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Please could you help me?
I work at a school in the UK, and have recently been able to purchase an external Lacie DVD drive, as the school’s computer (currently an iBook G4 with OSX 10.3.2 and a 1GHZ Power PC Processor – 640 MB Memory and a 40 GB HD) wasn’t shipped with one – however, I have a problem…
Trying to make a DVD that will play in a stand-alone DVD player – I followed the advice in iMovie Help – but was stopped suddenly on finding that I do not have the relevant version of iDVD (which version (if any – I can’t see it anywhere!) was shipped with iMovie 4.0?). Is it possible to download a copy of iDVD 3 or later from anywhere compatible with OSX 10.3.2 and iMovie 4.0?
The iMovie Help has an additional option to ‘export your movie in a format appropriate for DVD authoring’ which has let me burn the movie as a (name).DV file – but this is not compatible with any DVD player I have tried. I noticed a while ago on this forum that someone was talking about Toast but I do not have this, but I do have Roxio Easy Media Creator 7, which was bundled with the burner – but is only compatible with a PC – would I be able to build a project in iMovie, transfer it to a PC, and use REMC7 to do what toast would?
Finally, I was wondering if anyone has any experience of using Avid’s free DV software – and if they would recommend it (and also if I would be able to make DVDs with it?).
Well thanks for reading if you got this far – and I’d appreciate it if you could offer any advice (I know I’ve not been very concise)…
Kevin.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.2)Thanks for the welcome Karsten! I’ve checked the installer disks – which appear to have all the main pieces of software, but not iDVD. If you or anyone knows where it might be hidden that would be great. Thanks for all the other info too!
Thanks Lennart – I don’t think my computer could support iLife ’05 as it is running Mac OSX 10.3.2 and I’ve just been looking at its system requirements which state it requires 10.3.4 minimum – if you know differently, please let me know. As an alternative I have considered getting iLife ’04, but your comment about iLife ’05 being the first version to support external drives worried me (“iDVD 5 is the first iDVD version that officially supports external burners“ does this mean there is an unofficial option for iLife ‘04? Perhaps a patch similar to the one mentioned by Karsten), does that mean iLife ’04 would not support an external Lacie DVD writer?
What is the earliest version of Toast I’d be able to use (as a money saving option!)?
Thank you both, and apoligies for my amateurish questions…

How can I burn a DVD of an iMovie 13 project using iDVD 7.1.2 version.
I have a late model iMac which came with iDVD. I use iMovie to make photo and movie projects and share them to iDVD to burn DVDs. I use these often and I love them, specially iDVD.
When Mavericks came out I updated and of course it changed iMovie. I just finished a photo project with music on iMovie and planned to transfer it to iDVD for burning DVD. This is a family project and I want to distribute copies to the rest of the family.
It turns out that I cannot use iDVD with the new iMovie version and/or Mavericks.
iDVD does not contain the buttons that it used to have on each theme in order to play the DVD.
I cannot drag the movie into iDVD.
What can I do so that I can use iDVD when I have an iMovie project to burn it on a DVD.
I can go back to the previous version of iMovie and still have Mavericks.
I do not know, I am lost. Why doesnt this work without any problems when updating the operting system. Apple should take into consideration all the previous applications etc when it makes an older computer able to update to more current system.
I appreciate any help offered.
Thank youExport the slideshow out of iMovie via the File ➙ Share ➙ File menu option as a 480p Quicktime movie.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

IDVD 08 is a bummer. How do I return to an older version?
I had iLife 04 on my Mac for ages, but I just bought and installed iLife 08.
Mistake!
IDVD 08 will not open any of my old iDVD projects; it just sits there with the beachball spinning or doing nothing at all. All the old projects now have the blue and white iDVD 08 icon, but they don't open. Likewise "Open Previous Project" doesn't work.
So, I attempted to recreate some of my old projects in iDVD 08 by dumping the Quicktime movies that were originally used to create the old iDVD 4 projects (QuickTime movies that were exported from Final Cut Express), but I can't seem to drag and drop them into iDVD's background like I could with iDVD 4. When I drag the icon of the QT movie over into iDVD's window, the + sign does not appear, indicating that it's ready to drop, and when I let go of the mouse button, the QT movie's icon returns to the folder where the file resides.
Most of the time, when trying to open or create any project, iDVD just sits there with its beachball spinning, or does nothing at all, so that I have to force-quit it (and then I trash the .plist).
This version of iDVD seems like a real bummer. I can't get it to do anything.
How do I return to iDVD 4? Can I Trash iDVD 08 and then reinstall iDVD 04 from the iLife 04 DVD?
TomVery rarely do I recommend reverting to an older version of iLife once the current version is already installed. But in your own situation, perhaps this is best ..... given the fact apple's iLife'08 isn't intended for a G4. You need a G5 or better for iMovie apparently within iLife 08. iDVD's system requirements call for at least a G4 733. But I haven't seen anyone post on this iDVD forum who has the latest version of iDVD successfully running on a G4.
Use the following app at your own risk to remove iDVD:

Good luck! -
I have a finalized project in iMovie '11. Shared it on Youtube, Facebook, and Vimeo. Then, when I shared it to iDVD, it reverted to a previous version of the project, so my titles and pictures were out of sequence. Now, in my list of projects, my project is there, but finalized as the previous version which is all out of sequence. My true final project is now gone! What happend?
I didn't notice this problem until after the DVD was burned in iDVD. Then, when I played the DVD in a public setting, I was a bit embarrassed by what played.Hi
My first thoughts are
• iMovie ill behaving - Trash the iMovie pref file - use to set things right
• in reg. to Photos - Did You change iPhoto Photo Library - Then iMovie get's lost as it peeks into iPhoto on start up to see where photos are stored. Set iPhoto back to first Photo Library (when iMovie is not running) then start iMovie.

I want to burn on a dvd some videos I have on Quick time player version 10.1 and on imovie version 9.0.04. On the tutorial it said ,with imovie, to select a video, clic the button share, the idvd button, and the idvd will open automatically, but idvd does not open. My computer said that I have a 6.0.4 idvd version but I do not find it in my applications list. I tried to download the next versions but is said that it is not possible. How can I burn my videos on dvd-r?

I updated my OS from 10.6.4., to 10.8.2. I want to buy iDVD and iMovie, but I bought iPhoto and can't get it to work yet. I'm hesitant to buy the others without now having the original applications on my laptop. Do I need to buy the older versions first? They are probably on my Snow Leopard install disc, but I am now running Mt Lion that I bought, and downloaded a few days ago...so I don't want to insert the old OS disc, thinking it might want to reinstall the old OS... Thanks,
KathyH-PDownload iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. -

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iTunes in Mac OS X Tiger is outdated. Open > Software Update to install the latest iTunes version for Tiger.
If you need iTunes 10.7 or a newer version, you have to upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. First, check that your Mac is supported > http://support.apple.com/kb/sp575 If it is, buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After buying Snow Leopard, make a backup of your data, insert the DVD and upgrade to Snow Leopard. After upgrading, open > Software Update, and install the latest Snow Leopard version. Finally, run Software Update again to install iTunes 11.0.4. If you want to install iTunes 10.7 instead, download it from the Apple website > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1576 -
I just downloaded an old version of iDVD from a disc I purchased from Amazon. I downloaded only the iDVD portion of the disc. Now when I go to open my new version of iPhoto, I get a message that I cannot open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete. What can I do to get this resolved?
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List. -

IDVD version incompatible with Leopard?
Purchased Leopard OS and installed it in my Mac mini. Had no installation problems and all software updates installed with no grief. Leopard upgraded iLife components to v 5.x and they all appear to work except iDVD. The Leopard installation disk seems to have installed a version incompatible with Leopard OS. "You cannot use this version of the application iDVD with this version of Mac OS X."
Any suggestions on how to make iDVD work? Yes, I know that I am the last one on the block to update to Leopard. I really am an old-timer and buying a new Mac is not an option. I didn't spot a post on this subject but if I missed it please direct me to it.There is the assumption that Apple applications would not be made obsolete by upgrading the OS. e.g. Even AppleWorks which is no longer supported by Apple still works with Leopard OS.
Aaaah, the hidden costs of upgrades...
You can right click and get info on the program itself and you should be able to determine if your version should work with Leopard. My iDVD is v7.0.4 Only version 6 or 7 are compatible with Leopard.
Appleworks has many versions, but if I google: leopard appleworks problems - I get way too many hits to feel good about continuing to work with it. Pages seems to be able to be able to open .cwk files and they need to be converted.
A lot of people think that iLife is free, but it's actually part of the purchase price for the computer. Some people want to try installing iLife 09 on the older OS and come across the same issue in reverse because 09 requires Leopard.
In addition, iMovie 09 doesn't work on PPC Mac's even if they are running Leopard.
Apple's price for iLife 09 is $79 and they had a bundle for both Leopard and iLife for $169 but it's too late for you to get the bundle.
If there is any easy (inexpensive) way to get iDVD to work on my Mac mini, please let me know.
Amazon has iLife '09 on sale for $56.49 -
IDVD 5 not working - because of older version?
Hello.
I have recently purchased a new iMac, with Tiger and (I assume) iLife programs pre-installed. I am having trouble opening iDVD 5 - perhaps because I forgot to deselect iDVD 2 when I transferred my files from my old Mac. iDVD 2 is still on my hard drive. My guess is that the old version is now interfering with the correct operation of the newer version.
What is the proper way to uninstall iDVD 2?
Thanks,
davidI'd start by dragging iDVD 2 to the Trash. Empty Trash. Restart. Repair permissions. Then see if you can launch iDVD 5.
May have to delete the Preference file:
This frequently helps solve some problems. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.

IDVD 5 - Burning a NTSC version using PAL content
HELP! I want to create an NTSC DVD in IDVD 5.
I selected NTSC in the preferences also under Project Info. I then imported Quicktime files and burnt a disc -
The problem is I'm in a PAL region and when I play it on my DVD player - it plays! whereas it shouldn't if it was an NTSC version.
Is this happening because the quicktimes were originally created in a PAL format?That is a different issue, namely Region.
The USA is Region 1, Europe is region 2 (we won't bother with the rest but you can read all about it here):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVDregioncode
If you bought the DVD player in the UK it will have been set up for Region 2. Partly for the reasons stated in that Wikipedia article, many DVD publishers have a policy of differential pricing, for example DVDs in the UK cost twice as much as much as in the US, so they don't like you buying cheaper DVDs via Amazon US for the UK! But it does go some way towards explaining why so many brand-new DVDs offered for sale on eBay UK are so cheap: they can be (and are usually clearly identified as such) NTSC DVDs from the USA!
Many retailers will happily convert your DVD player to be multi-region, or rather non-region (quite legal in Europe). However, you can quite easily do this yourself. Contrary to popular belief this does not require re-soldering the innards, or changing a chip, but merely entering a code number via your remote control.
This site will tell you what the code is for your DVD player:
http://www.dvd.reviewer.co.uk/info/multiregion/
It lists virtually all DVD players ever made and the codes they require. They call the code a 'multi-region hack' but don't worry about it!
By the way, do NOT attempt to play DVDs on your Mac from a different region than it was originally set up for. There are no 'hacks' to change the region on a Mac. You do get five chances to change the region of your Mac, but after that the last one selected will stick for all eternity. The code is sealed into the firmware of the Superdrive.
So, we are talking marketing (and pricing) regions more than whether it is NTSC or PAL or one of the other formats. Once your DVD player is set up as multi-region it probably won't give a monkeys what format the DVD is! -
Why can't I install the version of iDVD from iLife '06?
I have a MacBook Pro which is about 12 months old. It has a 2.66GHz Intel Core i7 Processor and 8G of RAM. I have been trying to install the iLife '06 version of iDVD. Yeah I know that is an OLLLLLLLLLLLD version. I have decided that I don't like the current version of iDVD. I am also having slight problem when archiving the iDVD file. I won't bore you with the details of that. I have my own ideas anyway.
The Specifications say the following:- "A Mac computer with a Power PC, G4, G5, or Intel Core Processor is required."
The error message I get when clicking on the install package is:- "You can't open the application because Power PC applications are no longer supported."
This seems odd given because of the stated specifications required and given that I have iMovie HD installed and working on the computer. I never upgraded from iMovie HD becaus in it's next incarnation of iLife iMovie was Intel compatible only and I had a Power PC computer. I was able to install the other aplications that I wanted okay.
iMovie HD was the last "decent" version of the software. The susequent version was emasculated and bastardised to the extent that there were simillar howls of rage to the ones that are being posted with the arrival of Final Cut Pro X.
Thanks AllI don't think you can run iMovie HD on 10.7. It's a PowerPC application, which only runs on Intel via Rosetta
That's not true. iMovie HD 6 is a Universal Intel app as indicated by System Profiler and Activity Monitor
and runs fine on Lion.
