I have a 30 minute Quicktime file that I would like to put onto a DVD disc and play it on any DVD player.

Do I just drag the file over to the DVD disc and tell it to burn? It seems as though this would just make it a copy of a Quicktime file.

do you have a superdrive in your mac? if so, start up iDVD and drop that quicktime file into iDVD's window. take it from there.

I've got the dp 800, 2 60HD's, 1.5 G RAM. I just installed 10.2, a full install after wiping the HD. There is no iDVD application. Is this some program I must buy?

Yes, it has the superdrive.

if you got the superdrive built in, then you should've gotten iDVD (in 9) or iDVD 2 (in X). did your computer come with an iDVD disc, along with all the other install discs?

it might be hidden in the multitude of software restore disks (my dual 1G came with iDVD installed, but the only way to recover it was to run the 5 software restore CD's to return a partition to it's factory state). I've heard you can use an app called Pacifist to look inside the disk images (each CD has a partial disk image on it, img I think). Also, I've heard you can copy each partial image to your hard drive and then open the first one and the full image will be mounted, then you can root around in there. I haven't tried either of these, as I haven't had occaisson to use iDVD since I first reformatted.

Or, I believe you can buy an iDVD 2 update disc from Apple for US$20, and the disk is actually a full install. this is also unverified

there's also no guarantee that iDVD 2 will run in Jag...
