Went to the Apple Store this morning to get the URL for the iLife 11 disk page and found it was no longer available. 😟
Therefore, any user who needs to purchase a copy of iDVD will have to go to Amazon.com or eBay.com.

Yikes, you are right!
Just checked on the UK Apple Store - same result.
It would appear that Apple no longer wants to be in the amateur video creating business. That will certainly please Adobe and Microsoft.
IMO one of the most stupid decisions Apple have ever made.
Agreed. Very disappointing. Anyone who even gives these Apple forums a passing glance will se that there is still tremendous interest in DVD delivery.

Hi - So tragic !
Then closing down this forum can not be far away. How about 21 dec 2012 ? 😉

iLife 11 is again available from the Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/
but no longer includes iDVD.
In other words, Apple is now the only computer manufacturer that does not want you to create DVDs of your family movies, and will not provide any software for so doing. (IMO)
And they are slowly removing optical drives from their computers. First the Air (reasonable for size constraints) and the Mini (not reasonable since it's the same size as the older Minis).
At least external optical drives are cheap and easy to get!
Someone elsewhere pointed out that FCPX can burn DVDs without additional software?
Even if true, much more expensive of course.
(I am so glad I secured a copy of iLife 11 before they ran out!)

And they use the tray to hold and deliver disks instead of the slot. I don't like the slot. I do a lot of audio book ripping to get them on my iPod and with the slot in my iMac everything heats up too much and sometimes freezes. With the tray drive in my old G5 (which I access via Screen Sharing as it does not have a monitor) is can rip 10 disks in a row without any problem.
When the G5 finally gives up the ghost I'll get an external optical drive.

That situation is quite mystifying. I've had two friends switch from Mac to Windows for that specific reason.
Old Toad - off-topic, sorry - I want to send you an iconized version of your iWeb domain switcher applet, my way of saying thanks.

Shouldn't put email address in a post. It's a sitting duck for spiders that harvest email addresses for spam use. I've asked the Hosts to remove it.
iLife 11 no longer available at Apple Store
