I can't remember if chapter markers can be added in iDVD or you have to do it in iMovie (it appears the new version of iMovie doesn't have the option for chapter markers).Pearson Education, Inc., 221 River Street, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030, (Pearson) presents this site to provide information about products and services that can be purchased through this site. I really don't understand why Apple is not supporting iDVD any longer. I didn't realize that Apple had made some the decision they did regarding iDVD and that iMovie would be changed so much. I do have a new version of iMovie, which I don't like. I have old iDVD projects that I can't open now among other issues. This whole thing will have me spending days fixing everything. I just backed up the info I couldn't replace if something went wrong (docs, email, pictures, movies). I guess that was the easiest and fastest way to clear up the problem I was having. I didn't realize they would suggest wiping the drive clean. Unfortunately, I didn't backup my entire computer before my husband took it in.

Is there anything I need to do before I try to install iDVD? Would it be wise to install it on an external hard drive? Your post to Gary seemed a little advanced for me. I recently read a post that I could purchase the iLife 09 and install iDVD (I like the older version of iMovie as well, the new version doesn't allow you to put chapter markers into your movies), but now I am afraid to try it.

I lost all of my applications, iMovie, iDVD, Photoshop, etc. To make a long story short, I didn't realize that they would have to do this, and my husband didn't bring up that possibility, so I just copied my really important items (photos, genealogy info, docs, etc.) to an external hard drive. Recently, my computer started crashing frequently and the Apple store wiped my hard drive clean and updated my operating system to Yosemite. I am not an expert by any definition, but I have been using iMovie and iDVD to make dance performance DVDs for a school dance team for several years now. I have a similar situation regarding iDVD. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums. Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good. To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.

This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option.

The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.Ĭurrently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc: If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago. If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like : ilife 09: Softwareor. You have to have iDVD 7 already installed in order to use it. The download you linked to is only an updater.
