There's no iDVD download for Mac at all on the Internet and Apple stopped to deliver it. However, you can install it if you have the iLife'11 box, which includes iDVD. If you have no, but still want to use iDVD on Lion. Try to buy it on Amazon.com.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it, and how do I install it?
Apple assumes that the entire world has access to fast broadband (and are prepared to pay for the considerable bandwidth usage) and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud, YouTube, Facebook, whatever) rather than mailing them a DVD, but of course not all users in all countries have such broadband access.
You can complain via Apple’s Feedback link, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between burning DVDs and distributing home movies by other means. You may feel that Apple should offer greater choice in how you destribute family videos or photos to distant relatives and friends, and should not assume that every user is prepared to pay for the excessive bandwidth usage charged by ISPs for huge downloads from the App Store:
Idvd Software
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that came with OS 10.7 Lion and beyond. And iDVD is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. As there is no satisfactory substitute for iDVD, your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
(The vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.)
It is worth noting that the version of iDVD 7 included with iLife 11 only includes themes from iDVD 5-7. If you want all the older themes you should buy iLife 9, which has the same version of iDVD 7 but with all the themes, which none of the iDVD 7 updaters available from Apple Downloads include. Acid pro 4.0 for mac.
Currently the only certain way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
But even though you can still buy iLife 9 or 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
When you try to install iDVD you may see a notice come up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March 2012, because Apple have withdrawn the license to it can no longer be used.

If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After installing iDVD reset the time back to the correct time on your Mac.
You may be to use able to use the installer even without setting back the date. Just click on the Continue button and it should work as expected, but for some it will not continue unless the date is set back. Parallels desktop 4 keygen windows 10.
Additional comments:
Apple has phased out optical disc drives on all new Macs, offering an external USB Superdrive as an option for users who need one but which is not universally compatible with all Macs.
Users may have fewer need to use optical drives, as the bulk of third party software is now available as a digital download either directly from the vendor or through Apple's App Store. but not all. Apple sees digital distribution as the future of music and movies, as exemplified in Apple TV, which has never included an optical drive.
The company has never supported any new HD optical disc formats on its products, including Microsoft's ill fated HD-DVD or Sony's Blu-ray format, despite initially being involved in the Blu-ray standardization process. Instead, Apple has put its resources behind developing increasingly higher definition audio and video formats that it can distribute electronically through its own iTunes Store.
And if you think Microsoft are any better, their latest Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced: http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/
In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that. Flexibility and intuitive use of a computer seems to be a thing of the past.
But they still include iMovie for making a lower quality versions for YouTube etc.

Thank you! Cute themes are …
Great. I'll give this a try.
You may be able to cause a good deal less damage by creating a 640:480 black
picture (JPEG works) in Photoshop (or graphic program of your choice) and drop that into the theme well over that insane rotating globe. Then create a simple one second or so of silence in Garage Band (or other audio production program) and drop that in. That will shut up the music.
Save both of these files in a production folder ( we use 'elements') so they'll be handy when you want them.
Obviously, you don't have to use black and silence, but that is what the thread title is.

2nd solution Create a completely blank iDVD theme
Maybe it's retail vs. OEM version. I find the file in:
iDVD->contents->resource->0016-FullFrame.theme->Content->Resources->FullFrameTitle.pox->Matrial
D3E3A877-38F7-11D9-90CD-000A958D65FE.tif
to remove or rename doesn't work for me but ..
I modifiy the alpha channel of the tif with gimp (any App able to modify the alpha channel is ok.)
>'Threshold Alpha' converts partial transparency into all-or-none transparency< quote from Gimp help.
In Gimp ->Layer->Transparency->Threshold Alpha
Set it to 255, save it, replace the original file. Voila.

It may also be useful to strafe the tree and clear out all of the .tif files in each of the folders ending in .pox

Can I resurrect this topic from last year? I have tried removing the offending file D3E3A877-38F7-11D9-90CD-000A958D65FE.tif as suggested, and this doesn't work for me either. The other suggestions are either irrelevant to my system or are too complicated for me to follow!
Can anyone suggest another simple solution for this problem?

Actually there is a method that is exceedingly simple.
One little known trick in iDVD is that if you want to replace the theme background AND get rid of any drop-zones, you simply click-drag whatever picture you want to use for your theme onto the iDVD window, but BEFORE YOU RELEASE THE MOUSE BUTTON press the Option key and a menu will appear on the screen that gives you the choice of replacing just the background or replacing the background AND dropzones.
If you want a totally blank theme . . . simply create a blank white graphic (640 x 480 pixels in size works nicely) and just do the Option drop into any iDVD theme. You'll end up with a blank theme that still has the title in the size/font specified in the original theme (the one you replaced).
This makes a great way to put your own background in and do away with the drop-zones so you can add your own titles etc. Of course if you want some other pictures that are transparent on top of the background, you'll have to do that yourself with the photo editing program of your choice.

Ok, I gave this a try, but when I hit Option i was only given 2 choices. 'Replace Background' and 'Create Slideshow'. There is no 'replace background & dropzones' option. When I choose 'Replace Background' It only replaces the background, not everything else along with it.
Please help! I really don't want to end up using Encore! ;)
