My objective is ti upload my iPhone videos and pix of my grand child to iMac. Make a simple dvd so that my daughter can watch. Can toast do that? I can't believe the problems incurred with upgrading to el capitan and the new OS X system. R there 3rd party software that will work? Such as iskysoft creator? Downloaded free trial NO LUCK with what I'm trying to do. Was much happier with old system.

Thanks BG

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.


If you are using El Capitan see this thread:

Toast can do that as well as a number of apps available from the App Store. Go to the store and search for "video DVD". You'll get a number of potential candidates ranging from Free to $40. You can't create as complex a video DVD as you can with iDVD but for simple projects with only one menu they may fit your needs.


iDVD is becoming marginally compatible with El Capitan. Several of the newer, animated themes do not work. I've had no problems with the simpler, older themes.
