Q: imovie 11 and iDVD
I currently have iMovie 10 on my MacBook Pro Retina. I need to find a different version of iMovie that can create chapter/scene markers.
1) Can anyone tell me which version I should buy?
2) It appears that I cannot buy any other version through the app store. I assume this means I have to buy the CDs and load another version onto my Mac?
3) If I do load a different version of iMovie, can this new version access the library I created with iMovie 10?
4) I also want to burn DVDs, once I finish he project. Could someone tell me what version of iDVD I need to be compatible with the version of iMovie that you recommend for chapter makers?
Thanks...
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

1. Ideally iMovie HD 6 (part off iLife 6) which remains the best version.
2. Correct. Try Amazon or eBay.
3. No. there is no backwards compatibility.
4. Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.
If you are using El Capitan see this thread:
