Is There any alternative software for IDVD?

Whatever app you end up using follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:

Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.

To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.

Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Toast is quite good but it's themes are limited. There's no option to create your own menu background which I prefer when using something other than iDVD.

Try DVD Creator Lite or DVD Maker Pro. It is easy to create custom menus. Both have a free version to try. . When you burn or save to disk image you get this warning

However, I didn't see any watermark on the video with DVD Creator Lite but did with DVD Maker Pro. I think both are better in reading custom menus than Toast.

There are no video DVD authoring apps that can approach the sophistication, variety of themes and power of iDVD.

If using iDVD is important then I suggest you make a partition on your boot drive or use an external HD to install Mavericks and run it from there.

I'm still able to use iDVD with Sierra but there are a number of annimated themes that don't work with Sierra. I tend to use older, non annimated themes and customize the menu backgrounds with photos or images that fit the content.

There are a number of apps available at the App Store for creating video DVDs. Several have free versions you and try and offer paid versions with additional themes and features.

OK This may seem weird but I tried to create a disk image with iDVD yesterday to no avail. Today I completely removed iDVD and re-installed from the iLife DVD v9.0.3 It created two images without any problem.

Incidentally, iDVD reports v 7.1.2(1158) after installing the 7.1.1 update & 7.1.2 update

Mac Pro 2013

Sierra 10.12.4

I used something called "AppCleaner" http://freemacsoft.net/appcleaner/ It is freeware which does a look through your drive (I'm guessing it checks the usual locations for related files) and displays a list with the most likely related checked for you. I selected everything that wasn't and clicked the "Remove" button. It seems fairly thorough but I couldn't say for certain.

At this point iDVD works again.

Because. They know best.

(You are supposed to be forced into use Cloud-like solutions - even if they You produce for not are there yet or ever will be)

Now they also sell iPhone 8 with glass-screen that falls off.

Amazing. The day they listened to their users they would make a great consumer / productivity leap. As in the old good time with Stewe and Stewe.

Have a look at Roxio Toast.

Today I completely removed iDVD

What was removed when you did this? Anything more than the application?

Why MAC changed it? why GOD! WHY!??
