I have IDVD 6.04 and it will not allow me to update to 7, help!
My version of IDVD is old school and when I run a software update check, it refuses to update to IDVD7, any ideas?

Hi
Yes - no full versions up-dates are availably for free - never been
So within a version no: as 6.0.1 to 6.0.4 - OK
from 6.0.4 to 7.1.2 - NO
Need to buy iLife 8 or iLife 9 or iLife 11 - boxed DVD version - (not from Apple Store as they don't cont. iDVD)
See Amazon or e-bay.

So, Bengt, we already bought ILife11, from the Apple Store. I just need to be able to burn my new IMovie projects to DVD and it doesn't seem to communicate with IDVD 6 very well. How do you reccomend that I get my project onto DVD?
You are so quick and so generous with your assistance, thanks.
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD

only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.
