You need to use a 3rd party DVD burning app as iDVD is no longer supported. Have a look in the Mac App Store and other sources online, there are many to choose from both free and paid apps.
yes hi. I've tried two already both did not work. wondershare and dvd creator mac . was hoping some one would know one that defy worked. thanks simon
Apple's iDVD is still available as part of older Apple's iLife suite of Apps and still works with the current OS X version.
Purchase iLife '09 from online places like Amazon.com.
iLife'09 has the version of iDVD thst contains a variety of menu themes that later versions do not.
If you purchase iLife '09, install just iDVD only and none of the otther apps on the disc by performing a custom install.
Another more expensive DVD burning/authoring app that works is Roxio Toast Pro Titanium.
Another DVD burning app for videos is the free, open source OS X app called,
Burn

Good Luck!
I use Toast http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/?gclid=CM7-5NzhuMwCFZSEaQodIMgIeA
On the other end of the spectrum, I've heard good things about the free software Burn http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html
I don't burn DVDs but Toast seems to be the standard for OSX.
