I download video from my GL1, edit in iMovie and then when attempting to export to iDVD it tells me I need iDVD3. I have installed every Mac OS update yet there doesnt seem to be an iDVD update. Is there a way to burn a DVD with out having to buy iLife? Can I get iDVD3 without having to buy the others(which I already have as upgrades)?

    if you have iDVD 2, then just export the movie to DV and import that from iDVD...



    but the only way to get iDVD3 (and be able to use the export to DVD option) is to buy iLife, or a new computer with a superdrive

    you DO have a dvd burner right?

    I have an iMac with the superdrive. It just seems ludicrous that you can't obtain iDVD3 unless you purchase iLife, because obviously the other 3 comments to iLife are what I have and what I get upgrades for..for free.

    Why the heck dont they just offer iDVD3 for sale independently.

    This SO makes a person wanna find ways to obtain warez...ya know?

    the problem is that iDVD3 is SO big (200Megs or so i assume) that it would cost too much to offer as a download... when you get iLife all you are really paying for is iDVD3, the other 3 apps are included "free"...

    More like friggin' huge, not that size matters (oops-- wrong thread). iLife comes in a CD (no iDVD) and DVD version (with iDVD). However, the program itself isn't that big-- it's all the templates and junk that come with it.



    I have to say it's pretty cool, though. After playing with DVD Studio Pro 1.5, I'll settle for the 60-90 minutes of iDVD with no muss or fuss instead.
