I want to burn my imovie to a dvd. All the help info says to use idvd but I can't get it to open. The applecare guy said idvd is no longer included in new macs, so why are all the instructions still saying to use it? Is one of the other software offerings, like dvd Cfreator for Mac, ok to use for this? What's the best one?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Please clarify what you mean by "you can't get it to open". Is iDVD on your system or not? If this is a new iMac, iDVD is no longer bundled with new Macs, so the application just isn't there and hence of course can't be opened. You can still purchase it as part of the retail iLife '11 box, though, if you want it, and it would be less expensive than DVD Creator (which I have no experience with), even though you'll get some redundant applications.

Regards.
