#Replacement for idvd mac os
I tried my mac OS Leopard dvd which made the computer have a kernel attack upon an attempted install of the extra items. I had already checked with Amazon, and they will not ship to Canada the Canadian counterpart does not list the product. I was hoping that Aperture 3.5 might be the answer, but, the more I research it, the more unlikely it is that it will meet my needs.
#Replacement for idvd software
Right now it looks as if I am searching for multimedia/dvd software that is not unduly complicated to use, and that comes with document support from the author or other publishers. I will need to look into the streaming suggestion made by Andy to see if I can use that to my ends. I understand from an earlier reply that Idvd also runs under Mavericks, but I am not able to acquire a version that I can install on my Imac in the hope that it would perfoerm better there, since they have been removed from the marketplace. The version 7 of Idvd that I have only runs on my G4 Power PC, and not on my Imac which uses Mavericks operating system. The main issue I have with Idvd is the occasional faulty rendering of accompanying music, and there seems to be no easy way around this, even though I have spent hours on different attempts. What I like about Idvd is the option of using menus to create more of a multimedia presentation as opposed to just a slide show or move combination on a dvd. If the latter it's not currently a simple switch from one approach to the other, it's about starting a whole new learning curve. The question is do you want to stick with DVD for now, or make the (inevitable) switch to electronic/streaming distribution. Before you just had to know if your friends family had a DVD player, now you need to understand their media streaming setup!!ĭispite Apple not participating in DLNA (presumably because it's still much too technical for the layperson and Apple has competing technologies for Apple devices) there are Apps and devices that bridge the gap.
The problem is, while DVD was universal, streaming frameworks are not and so currently it's a lot easier to share Apple created content with your Apple owning friends and family than it is with people in a different ecosystem. The trouble is it's still in it's infancy and standards are basic (do a search on DLNA or check out this for a brief introduction: hat-you-need-to-know-1079015 ). If you want to stick with DVDs (or Blu Ray) then there are alternatives to iDVD that are still actively supported, perhaps a question the iDVD forum will help.īut most of the focus now seems on media streaming Apps, for both your local network and internet (receive and broadcast).
#Replacement for idvd tv
There is no doubt that's where things are heading, but given all the competition and lack of dominant standards, it does seem like the convenience and ease of DVD (thanks in part to iDVD) has been 'end-of-life'd a bit prematurely.Īpple's approach for a while was Front Row, but then that got killed off too, presumably deciding Apple TV was a better platform it. But DVDs quality had reached its limits and people started wanting the instant acess of the internet and higher quality of HD. It's all a bit of a mish-mash at the moment.ĭVD was a format for phyiscal distribution of media.
