![]() ![]() At this time it appears that there will be a large amount of interest in the home video industry to accommodate the ever increasing number of people who use iPods and other similar devices. With the popularity of the iDVD format, a number of companies have introduced devices which use the iDVD technology. Although many people may view their home movies through the iTunes service instead of through their iDVD players, the iDVD format still provides many advantages for the home movie and video enthusiast. This move has caused a large segment of the population to switch back to their home computer systems. Apple instead offered consumers the ability to view their movies through an internet site via the iTunes service. In addition, the vast storage space provided allows you to store many movies on one device.Īpple discontinued the iDVD project in October 2021 with the general public unable to obtain or purchase iDVD players due to Apple discontinuing all iDVD products. The main benefit of using iDVD over other methods of creating DVD-quality movies is that you can produce as many copies of your movie as you like without additional expenditure. iDVD players can be purchased from Apple itself or through many third party companies on the market. iDVD enables the consumer to burn QuickTime videos, music, and photographs to a DVD that can then be enjoyed on a standard DVD player.

The future of DVD is uncertain, iDVD is ready to adapt to whatever comes next. With iDVD 6, you can further control how you structure and customize your project, or let Magic iDVD do the thematic work for you. IDVD used to be a simple application that let you burn a nice-looking DVD, thanks to Apple’s themes. However, the burned discs played back smoothly in my DVD player. The only continuing irritation is that playback of the motion effects and previews is choppy, even on a fast Mac (a dual-processor 2.3GHz Power Mac G5, for example). ![]() Also, I’m not sorry to see that the Customize panel is gone it has been replaced by an iMovie-style set of panes that occupy the right side of the window. At long last, submenus are referred to consistently as submenus, not folders (which seemed confusing to newcomers). That’s where the new Magic iDVD feature comes in.Ī number of smaller improvements make working in iDVD 6 better than working in previous iDVD versions. Although some folks prefer to shoot video and photos and then edit them to their liking, a lot of people would rather throw it all on a DVD that has a little structure and polish without doing all the work.

In iDVD 6, you can burn a DVD from a Mac that doesn’t include a SuperDrive, a restriction that Apple arbitrarily imposed in earlier versions iDVD 5 enabled you to save the project to a disc image, but you still needed to find a Mac with a SuperDrive to burn your project to a disc. If you’re working on a large monitor, you can expand the window to a more comfortable size-the window in previous iDVD versions looks like a glorified postage stamp on a 30-inch Apple Cinema Display ( Īnother example of Apple’s forward-looking approach is its most significant new feature in iDVD: Apple has finally opened the door to burning projects with third-party optical drives. With that newfound flexibility comes another bonus: you can now resize the iDVD window. Some older themes have been updated for the wide-screen format, and even the ones that still work best in the standard ratio will now also work in wide-screen format. In fact, you can switch between them easily in the same project. IDVD 6’s themes have been designed to accommodate both the wide aspect ratio and the standard (4:3) ratio. You can create wide-screen iDVD projects for viewing on your wide-screen TV.
