Where is iDVD in iMac 10.7.3

I wanted to use iDVD on my new mac and was disapoined it was not in iLife 11, What can be done about this.

The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that nothing could be further from the truth has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD.

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
“when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
“You can still use it one all of your Macs. If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
“It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date. I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected. For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

Please help! Where is iDVD?

I just bought a new MacBook pro with lion installed and there is no iDVD. I have GarageBand, iPhoto and I movie, I needed this to make home movies. Is it gone? What else can I use? Thanks.

Where is idvd??? i can't find it on the os x lion!

wher is idvd on os x lion. I cant find it... help me

The iLife version that comes with all new Macs does not include iWeb or iDVD. If you want those, you'll need to buy the iLife 11 Box Set from the Apple Online Store. Or from an Apple Retail Store if they still have them. If you have another Mac with iWeb and iDVD, you can probably use Migration Assistant to copy them over to your new Mac.

While burning a DVD-R this comes up: "Where is iDVD?"

iMovie was bought as a standalone app, I've never owned iLife or the now discontined iDVD.
Just for fun I right-clicked a Project to Share to iDVD. iMovie prepared the Project, took an hour.
When finished, the question popped up: "Where is iDVD?" That was predictable.
I dragged the video, which is an mpg4, 580mb, from the "All Videos" folder and burned a DVD-R.
Clicked the icon, plays great in iTunes or QuickTime.
Since I put chapters inWondering if there is a chapter list

CONTINUED!

Plays great in iTunes or QuickTime. Apple DVD Player doesn't recognize the video at all.
Don't know how to drag and drop the vid into a DVD-R which contains a play list with chapter markers.
Just got iMovie. You might have guessed it!

Where did iDVD go?

Where did iDVD go? How do I access iDVD? I used to just drag my mp4's straight into iDVD and create my DVD's but it is no longer available. Help!

Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie.
With iDVD you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.
IDVD is easy to get. It is available on disk as part of iLife 11.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

Where is idvd on my iMac with lion?

I can´t find iDVD on my new iMac with preinstalled Lion.
How do I make DVD´s from iMovie?

You don't have an iMac PPC if you have Lion. Lion only works on iMac Intels.
And yes Kenneth is correct. The only way to get iDVD on a Mac that shipped new after July 20, 2011, is either demand it from the place you bought it, demand it from AppleCare, or purchase iLife '11 on DVD. It is not available on iLife from the App Store either. Apple stopped selling Macs with iDVD prebundled on that date. Link to
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ if you just want to send Apple a general feedback about this.

Have a brand new iMac where is iDVD?

were is iDVD

In case you're also an iWeb user: it is now apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, will no longer be supported by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
All of these issues can be solved with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
Apple has announced that iLife is now an unsupported product and those iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the boxed iLife 11 at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought. Personally, if I already didn't have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

How to install iDVD on iMac

I have a MacBook with OS X Lion on it and have iDVD running on it ever since I purchased it in 2009. Recently I bought a 27" iMac with 1TB HD and OS X Lion. I just realised today that it does not have iDVD installed on it and I am quite used to using iDVD to burn all the home videos I make using iMovie. I know that I can use iMovie to burn those movies to disc but I am too used to using iDVD and was wondering how can I get it installed on the iMac?
1. Can't find it through App Store - I am told Apple does not support it any longer
2. Can't find it anywhere on the web where I can pay and get it
3. Will I be able to install it on the iMac from the MacBook Other Applications Install Disc that came with the MacBook?

Your MacBook came with disks for installing the system and bundled software. You can use the bundled software disk to install iDVD onto your new iMac.
It should looks like one of these, possible like the one for the MacBook Pro in the upper right hand corner of the screenshot:
If you don't have those disks you can purchase the iLife 11 disk from the online Apple Store while supplies last. It will have the latest versons of both iDVD and iWeb, both of which have been discontinued by Apple.

Where are iDVD and iMovie themes?

I've re-build my hard drive on my iMac (Intel), System 10.5.8.
I've got iPhoto, iDVD and iPhoto working from my backup disc, but I can't find the 'themes'.
They must be on the backup disc somewhere?
Any ideas?

Where are the audio clips stored that go with some of the themes?
The .theme is also a package, you use the same CTRL-click, show package contents trick to get inside. Some of the themes have the audio as separate audio file, you can tell with the .aif extension, but some of them a muxed .mov file. You need QuickTime Pro or some other tools to get the audio out.

Cannot burn DVD (using iDVD, and iMac G5 with Superdrive)

Hi. I'm trying to burn an iMovie onto a DVD-R (16x). I have an iMac G5 w/ Superdrive (PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K04F). I have plenty of available disc space. iDVD goes through the entire burn process, then at the very end it spits out the disc with these errors:
The recording device reported the error #8: No additional sense information. (0x00, 0x00.)
The recording device reported the media error: Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.)
Can someone PLEASE help me? What am I doing wrong?
THANK YOU!

Could be the brand of media you are using. Most users here find the most reliable to be Verbatim DVD-R.
Also, try burning at a lower speed.
Using 16x DVD media is fine - in fact it is difficult to buy any other - but there is a consensus in the Apple Support Forums that a slower burn is a better burn and that the most reliable brands are Verbatim, Maxell and Fuji, all DVD-R, burned at 2x or 4x (slow burns are better burns!). I always use Toast for burning.
I generally use Verbatim and when I can't get those, Fuji, and have never had a coaster from either.
Plenty of coasters in the early days from Sony, TDK and a few others.
The term "Best" means the fastest speed that the drive told Toast it can write to a specific disc. The drive's firmware and info on the disc decide what speed burns are available. When you press the speed setting button in Toast (after inserting a disc) you'll likely see some speeds in italics and some in bold face. The ones in bold face are supported by that media on that drive. The fastest one is what Toast calls Best.
Audio CDs in particular should be burned at the lowest supported speed.
Verification is a good indicator the disc is burned okay. However, other DVD players can still have problems with the disc. Media problems with various drives is not uncommon. Slower burning may reduce the chance of those problems, and is one of the reasons why RW (read/write) media is always rated slower than DVD-R.
There are some interesting facts here:
http://www.osta.org/technology/dvdqa/dvdqa4.htm and here:
http://www.osta.org/technology/dvdqa/dvdqa4.htm
But many will tell you that the 'slower burn is best' theory is outdated. Who really knows? At the end of the day, if your home-made DVD was verified by Toast and will play anywhere on anybody's DVD player, then that is the result we are all after!

Where do the current iMac G5 iSights come from?

Anyone buy an iMac G5 online from the Apple store in the month of December?
Where did yours ship from (origination)? ie: Shanghai, Elk Grove, Kentucky
If you ordered the wired keyboard instead of Bluetooth keyboard model G5 iSight, what is the suffix of your serial number? ie AZTAR, or WLTAU, or BZTAV?
Thanks, just curious.

Where does iDVD store my ingested video?

I tried to do a One Step DVD, and I think ran out of storage as it was encoding. Now my hard drive is full. Where can I find the file of the ingested video so I can trash it?
Thanks, Bart Garton

Hi GartyBoy
And welcome to apple discussion. Just to add to OT's good advice .....
What happens if you launch iDvd and then go File > Open recent?
Does it open the most recent or not?
If by chance it were to open, then go to File > Save as (and save it to the desktop. Drag and drop it to the trash and lastly restart your mac. (Might also want to repair permissions in the event the above works).
But if the above fails ......
One can type the following into the finder and hit return :
.dvdproj
This will generate a list of all iDvd projects on your mac from which you can select which to maintain or dispose of.
However one step dvd’s are a bit different. Typically this type of dvd generates a .mov
so type in the following into the finder and hit return:
.mov
Most likely if you’ve been working with video for a while you’ll see many items.
Suggestion: Go thru each item, one at a time until you find the project you last worked on. Drag and drop to the trash. Empty the trash.
Restart your mac and repair permission from appl’s disc utility.
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

This should be an easy one... Where is IDVD located?

I bought my MacBook 2 months ago and have all original disks but none clearly comes up with IDVD plainly labeled.... My IDVD bounces on the bottom, has the header but will not load up... I want to try and reinstall but didnt want to back up everything and reinstall the entire OS if I dont have to...
Thanks!

on the gray Mac disk 1... Read before you install... apple hardware test... install bundles software only... install mac os x and software... xcode tools... welcome to tiger... figured that bundled software would be where to go...
update... as i am typing i am reinstalling the 2 disks... saw idvd on 2nd disk... will let you know
