Unfortunately, iDVD is not available at the app store. It is only available as part of the retail iLife 11 disk which is available at several online resellers such as Amazon or ebay.


As for burning a movie, you need to use burning software; doing it from the Finder will not allow you to play the movie in a DVD player. So you can buy iLife 11, or Roxio Toast ($$), or simply google for burn software for Mac - some of it is free, but none of it is as good or customizable as iDVD.

i bought 2 weeks ago OS 10.7.4


If you are still within your 15 day return period. Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge. (There are no realistic substitutes.)


Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.

If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.


IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.
