Hi all, I have a friend who needs help with this and I don't have a solution for him, can anyone help?
Hi,
Having discovered iLife is no longer included on pre-installed Macs, I'm having to look for a quick fix solution and having a real headache.
I've downloaded two video files from my camcorder - .mov files - and now wish to burn them to a DVD.
I need a solution to this as it is one of the sole reasons that I purchased a Mac.
Please help!
Thanks.

Although we can find iLife discs on eBay… it seems pretty shameful that I recommended that he get a Mac and even hte Apple Genius said to get one after he told him what he'd use it for… so hopefully you're right and Apple will send him one.
Thanks…
If not, is there an alternative software that does this? I've seen ISO Burn and some other DVD Creators on the Mac AppStore, but none seem to have favourable reviews.

If you're trying to create something that will play in a DVD player, Roxio Toast is usually the way to go.
If you're just burning the .mov to disk to play in a computer, you can just use the Finder's burning capabilities (put in the blank disk, copy the files to the disk, then eject the disk to have it get burned).

Thanks Steve, I've passed this on to him. I think he's going to get Roxio. He likes to make holiday videos when he goes away with friends and so he gives everyone a DVD of it. but it's most important as evidence for what he does for a living means he needs to send on DVDs to co-workers.
I'm tempted to buy it as well. Can I burn a DVD that I've bought so I can watch it on my iPad? Or are all purchased DVDs copyright protected?
Thanks again. As always.
