Now that iDVD is discontinued what can I use alongside iMovie to burn a dvd

I have managed to transfer all my old home videos onto my computer but the instructions are to transfer them from iMovie directly into iDVD to burn them to disc. I dont have iDVD installed and have tried various other methods but cannot make a copy. I have installed miDVD and have managed to burn a dvd using this but there is no sound. Please help but keep it simple as I am not very good with computer jargon. Thanks.

I don't know your iMac model number, you didn't supply it. But if it shipped with an OS X version prior to Lion, you should have 2 grey DVDs. The 2nd grey DVD may have included iLife applications.
Otherwise, the only source would be a retail iLife 011 DVD. You may be able to find one on eBay.

  • Now that I've converted project to .mov file, how do I burn to dvd?

    I've successfully converted my imovie file to a .mov file.
    Now I can't figure out how to burn it to a dvd for playback on dvd player, not as data file.
    Thanks

    Hi mrjazz - not sure why you needed to create a new .mov file from your movie, but anyway what you now do is to open a new iDVD project, and import your file into it. This can actually be done by dragging and dropping the file into the iDVD window, or going File>Import.
    If you have not used iDVD before then it would be well worth your while to skim through the Help menu first.

  • Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap). Any ideas?

    Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap and doesn't provide any kind of professional DVD authoring). Any ideas?

    This comes up a lot these days.
    Practically speaking, there are really four options for the Mac platform: Toast (<$100),  Adobe Premier Productiom ($1,600 to buy or $50/month to rent),  find a copy of Final Cut Studio from 3rd  party (+/- $1,000 new) or a boxed edition of iLife to get iDVD ($50 - $90 on Amazon new).
    The other question everyone has is how many OS versions before iDVD or FCS breaks? No one knows, but Apple has said they're no longer supporting these legacy apps. Of course, no one is mandated to upgrade to a new OS unless they buy a new computer. So if it works on a system, stay with it as long as it makes sense.
    Good luck.

  • What can I use on Firefox 5 now that FoxTab won't work?

    What can I use on Firefox 5 now that FoxTab won't work

    Well, first you could try the latest version. For some reason, it hasn't yet pushed onto the main page for FoxTab:

    If that doesn't work well, which features do you want to replace?

  • My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install.  Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

    My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install.  Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

    I get the impression that most of the users on older hardware experiences similar temperature issues on Lion for a long time now. Awaiting for confirmation from the original poster.
    In the meantime I'm just cautious with regards to pushing the machine to such extreme temps, since something tells me such behaviour which includes monitor flickering and the likes is nothing but abnormal for any type of use...
    Any clues if 10.7.5 does anything on this? If not I'm afraid i see myself going back to SL for good...

  • What can i use now instead of iweb?

    I know Apple did away with iweb some time ago, but what can I use now to create a simple website using mac templates?

    Apple have not 'Done away with iWeb' as you put it.  They are no longer supporting it and no longer upgrading it, but this DOES NOT mean that you can't still use it to create websites with.
    Apple stopped supporting it sometime ago now, but it is an application like any other that you have and if you have it on your Mac, then you can still use it - it works with both Lion and Mountain Lion and if you want it you can still get it, but you'll have to purchase it from Amazon as part of either the iLife 11 or iLife 09 boxed set.
    If you really want to use other software, which you don't need to take a look at RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Express and Pro 6, Flux 4 and Quick n' Easy Website Builder.  Most, if not all of these have free month long trials where you can download and try before you buy.
    As well as these, you have other options such as the online web site builders such as http://www.wix.com or http://www.weebly.com, or the CMS's (Content Management Systems) that you can install directly on your host/server and include http://drupal.org and http://joomla.org amongst others.
    Rage software are also producing their own version of iWeb called EasyWeb - however, all first reports would seem to suggest that you won't be able to purchase this software on its own when it is released - it will initially be tied to Rage web hosting, so you would need to purchase this first to be able to use EasyWeb.
    However, if you still have iWeb then use it for as long as it works and don't look elsewhere.  Just because iWeb is no longer sold or supported by Apple does not mean that you can't still use it - you most certainly can.

    i bought a iphone in usa now i´m in australia, what can i do ?

    If you have a problem with it, there is nothing that can be done until you return to the US.  The warranty on an iPhone is only valid in the country in which it was sold.  Apple will not provide service, replacement or support in another country.

    I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone.  Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

    If restoring the iPhone as a new device (not using a backup) doesn't fix the problem, then you either have a problem caused by whatever software you used to jailbrake the iPhone, in which case we cannot help you with that problem here, or the iPhone has a hardware problem in which case you'll have to ship it back to a friend or relative in the US to get it serviced.

  • How do you share an iMovie project to DVD now that iDVD not available

    How do you share an iMovie project to DVD now that IDVD not available on iMAC? Thanks.

    Hi
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on Internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and Blu-Ray but without the nice themes.

  • My imac has no iDVD what can i use instead

    I want to burn dvd on my imac and iDVD is not available. What can i use now?

    What exactly do you want to do, if you simply want to burn some data onto a disc then right click the files and click Burn. However if you want something more robust you can buy something like Roxio Toast.

    Reset your iPad by holding down the home button ( circle one on front) and the sleep/ wake button  till you see the Apple logo, ignor the red slider,then just let it wake up. That should get you going again.

    My iPod Touch fell into the washer and now does not start. What can I do to fix it?

    If it is totally dry:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
