Does anyone know if iDVD works with El Capitan?

Thanks for the reply, but a little confused by some of the answers, but to some of your points. Have tried this with no transition even present in the video clip (again for testing purposes). I'm also using FCPX and iMovie v9.0.9 (which is actually iMovie 11) .. iMovie HD 6 is fairly old? Also not sure what you mean by editing the film since importing to iDVD? What is being imported to iDVD is an already rendered file. Are you saying if you go back into iMovie, make changes, overwrite the original and then don't re-import to iDVD?

The issue on chaptering and iDVD is know to Apple. The support team at Pro Apps acknowledged that. His answer though was that since iDVD is no longer supported, there is not a single thing they can/will do. From what I've read elsewhere, it won't even run under Sierra, so we need a replacement than can recognize the chapter markers from FCPX or iMovie '11. I still fail to see why if Quicktime can see and respond to the chaptering, what in El Capitan and iDVD is making that not work. As for the timing with transitions.. Have read that elsewhere, but as I said I've tried it without a single transition and nothing to start, but in reality, transitions (in many cases) are tied to the chapter changes between clips.

I tried Roxio MyDVD from v14 of Toast and it does not recognize (or didn't) the chapter markers. They had to be manually inserted.. :-(

In my position it does NOT. iDVD runs on El Capitan, yes, but NOT on Sierra.

Ist there an advice how to safe a movie in 480p as iDVD requires?

Toast 11 works for me with Markers from FC

EStimating only Bengt can help us.

What I mean is this:

1 - create a movie file in your video editor of choice.

2 - add that movie to your iDVD project,

3 - then go back an re-edit the file.

That will cause iDVD to not be able to burn to disc or save as a disk image. If you do a reedit you need to remove the movie file from your project and add the new version or start over with a new project.

iMovie HD 6 is fairly old?

Yes, it's very old but much more powerful for adding multi audio tracks and have control over the audio tracks placement in the slideshow, fade in and out, etc:

The website I linked to has modified iMovie HD 6 so it will run under all OS X systems.

As far as adding chapter markers don't have them within 2 seconds of any change of slide even if you don't put in a special transition.

Karl,

I must be doing something wrong. I cannot get Toast 11 or 14 to recognize the chapters set in FCPX (QT sees them fine). If I try to build a menu with myDVD I don't get the chapters, and when utilizing burn to disc, I'm not seeing them there either. There is no Video_TS folder option in Toast 14 that I can find.

Old Toad.. (and all)

Thanks.. Finally just gave up fighting all this. I had a 120GB SSD and built a Mountain Lion image and loaded up everything up to iLife 11.. (and iDVD 7.1.2) and just booted my Mac Pro off that build (via USB).. System saw all the drives I have on my EC system and just successfully burned the same video that failed under iDVD under El Capitan. If the worst I have to do is boot over to an older version to do the Video_TS folder creation, so be it.. Worth having the iDVD functions available. Besides.. future proofs me against iDVD not working at all under Sierra...

I will download the older iMove 6 HD to play there as well though..

I hear you. I have tons of old family movies to edit. I wished Apple had just left things alone that work. No one complained then.

And nobody forced us to upgrade. I still use iMovie 6.

I am sure: the greatest role plays the format of the clips. Is it described anywhere?

Whenever I try to save it as a disk image it still gives me the spinning beach ball as it's loading and says that it's not responding.
