It is not available to download, but you can purchase a retail copy of iLife from your favourite software vendor. Install only the iDVD app.

Hi



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 - a free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD


Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html


Free DVD Creator.app - free from Apple Store


FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.

You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.
