Missing iDVD on iMac
Last night I was surprise to find out that my new iMac didn't come with iDVD. This caused an issue because I was trying to burn a video DVD. It turns out that Apple end of life iDVD with the release of iLife 2011.
Why did Apple think that people wouldn't be burning video DVDs anymore. I know there's some third party applications that have DVD capabilities, but iDVD was a good enough solution for most basic users.
Lucky for me that I had a copy of iLife 09 on a disk, which includes iDVD. I was able to successfully install the application by inserting the disk and running through the install process. I was worried that it would overide the iLife '11 items, such as iPhoto and iMovie, but that was not the case. The installation only installed iWeb and iDVD. After the installation, I then went to the App Store and checked for an update and updated both applications.
