Alternative to iDVD on iMac El Capitan 10.11.1

Hello

Is there an alternative to iDVD.

I have an iMac new with El Capitan 10.11.1

I see offers of Wondershare and iSkysoft.   They work properly?   Any experience with any of them?  The one that works best?

Thanks in advance,

Appelbum

The only 3rd party video DVD authoring applications I tired are DVD Maker Pro, DVD Creator Lite and toast.  Each has the one feature which is important to me is the ability to save the project as a disc image, so it can be tested with DVD before trying to burn it to disc.

None has the versatility of iDVD in the design of menus, etc.

Follow this workflow to help ensure the best DVD video qualty:

Once the project you want it save it as an image disk via the menu file → save as Disk Image . It will separate from the process of encoding of the burning process.

To check coding mount the disk image, launch a DVD player and read it.  If it plays OK with DVD, encoding is good.

Burn burn to disc with utility disk or toasts to the slowest speed (2 x - 4 x) in order to ensure the best quality.  Always use higher quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are recommended in these forums.

  • alternative to iDVD to Yosemite

    Hello

    I recently spent many hours editing a video of my brothers wedding in iMovie to find I can't use iDVD.

    I did a lot of movies and now idvd won't import my file from the upgrade to Yosemite.

    Is there anyway I can that iDVD works or can you recommend a good alternative which has models of good menu preference of marriage and the possibility of using chapter markers?

    Thank you

  • I deleted two e-mail accounts in my iMac (El Capitan). I have reinstalled the first without problem. When I tried the second, I got an error message that the account already exists. Any suggestions?

    I deleted two e-mail accounts in mail on my iMac (El Capitan). I have reinstalled the first without problem. When I tried the second, I got an error message that the account already exists. Any suggestions?

    First of all, make sure that you don't have two accounts with the same address. What happens if one of them is an iCloud account.

    From the Mail menu bar, you select

    ▹ Connection Doctor window

    In the window that opens, look for an SMTP (outgoing mail) account with a name that corresponds to the account that you are trying to add. Double-click it. Another window opens, displaying the list of all outgoing mail accounts. Click the sign button less to remove the corresponding one, and then click OK.

    Try to add the email account again. If you still can not, log off or restart the computer, and then open the preferences window accounts Internet and check if the account is displayed.

  • My 1st generation iPod touch can not save on my iMac El Capitan but can to my MacBook Snow Leopard ' 08. Why the iMac think that the backup is corrupt?

    Of course, I'm using my iMac El Capitan, but when I bought the music today and went to add to my iPod touch iTunes ended up freezing. Long story short, I could delete the files from the iPod but can not add one; Adding a single song led to suspended iTunes and the cancellation of the synchronization via the iPod of course makes no difference.

    After going through all the rigamarole any attempt to delete all backups for iPod, both through preferences and in/Library/Application Support / MobileSync / Backup, I always had the same problem. I can't add music on my iPod via the iMac, nor can I save it there. Yes, I rebooted.

    And so, after many tears, I pulled out my MacBook ' 08, who narrowly missed the cut for El Capitan and so still has Snow Leopard. And now my iPod backed up very well! (I cursed myself for not to copy previous backup before it was replaced, but hey.) They are all under the same Apple ID, so at this point, I'm simply redownloading all of my new purchases on the ol' MacBook ' so I can add it to the iPod... but how long this will be a viable solution? (I realize using products Apple since 2008 is an affront, but you've got to do what you do I do, and I don't currently have pocket for 32 GB change.)

    So the question. Is there an incompatibility of software between my 1st generation iPod touch (3.1.3) and my iMac (El Capitan with iTunes 12.3.2.35 10.11.3)? Is there really a degree of corruption here than Snow Leopard with iTunes 10.6.8 11.4 (18) does not recognize?

    TL; Dr: I can do my iPod touch backup of my iMac?

    (My apologies for what is the format, I still haven't managed to brevity, and these a few hours researching in it made me frustrated).

    Edit: I forgot to mention that I tried to copy on the backup freshly prepared from the MacBook on the iMac and received the same exact error message.

    Help!  My FCPX (v - 10.2.3) does not work because my iMac drive is full (iMac 21.5 inch has 2 terabyte w / v OS El Capitan 10.11.6) I had tried to free up space by moving tons of files on a usb disk Seagate (2 terabyte) speedboat that barely made a dent. then on the advice of a friend I found (in movies) a file called Final Cut backups. There were 4 files with extension, ".fcpbundle" I have three of them moved to another drive to Seagate usb - they had 2.82 GB, 21.6 GB and GB 68,21 that I thought should be enough and them removed from my iMac drive - bad! It says I have only 13.46 GB free on my 2 terabyte iMac total!

    The fourth fcpbundle it's TB 1.72! But before leaving that I returned and opened FCPX and found the warning triangle around my library... While my last project looked OK I couldn't / the share of exports because the pop-up says FCPX has no data for efx etc (the media looked at and display fine) and cannot be taken out.

    FCPX can work with the "beams" moved to another drive? How the detectable in a new place? Or how to put them back?
    How can I make sure that future packages clutter my iMac again?

    Do I need a RAID disks? If yes which?

    I found other folders in folders 'Make files' and records backup for projects with the .fcpbundle inside files

    How can I get this sucker working again?... and what should I do to keep him from doing the same thing in the future?

    The backup files are only the database files (no media) and must be low, not gigabytes, do not know what is happening there.

    Media libraries stored in the bundle of FCP X library or stored outside?

    If stored at the breast, called managed media, simply copy and paste the library to a different location.

    Make sure that library books newly located correctly before you remove what either.

    Perhaps check your settings of the library.

    Click the library icon in the browser and it appears in the Inspector:

    By clicking on change settings shows this:

    Move the mouse over the media and it will reveal the path where things are sent.

    Then you might be able to track down what goes where.

  • Wifi configuration with Airport Extreme (A1143), iMac (El Capitan) running. Need of a direction.

    I recently moved to a City University and living in a housing facility run by the University. It's got broadband by Comcast for free with the room. I plugged all the necessary equipment (modem and cable) to the iMac and the internet works well for a week now.

    Now I want Wifi for the apartment. I decided to dust off my old 1st or 2nd Gen extreme base station Airport. I read that it can still work with El Capitan, so I went and tried to install it. First of all, I updated the firmware and connected the appropriate cables. Everything seemed to go in the direction of the work, but I hit a bump on the road. Wifi works for the iMac. I unplugged the ethernet cable and it's receiving internet, but I tried to get my iPad Wifi and smart phone and it doesn't seem to work. I used the good passwords etc. Nothing.

    I found it odd that I get Wifi to my iMac, although the Airport Extreme light is orange. Normally, it should be green. Of course, I don't use this thing in forever and actually don't think it would work, but so far the iMac becomes Wifi, but aren't the other devices and auburn is turned on. So here's a screenshot of what I see in the Airport utility.

    Can anyone help or point me to the right direction? Also it has to do with the campus of the internet, I'm getting?

    The attached picture shows it's getting to the internet via wifi (not plugged into the modem) but he doesn't seem to get wifi on my other devices in the apartment. The Airport base station we connected directly to the Modem. I also followed the steps of my iMac had originally planned to make it work and it did, but only for the iMac. I expect the unit to green thereafter but he did not. What gives?

    The A1143 was introduced in January 2007 and arrested in March 2009, so the model you have is at least 7 years and older, and as much as 9 + depending on when the product has been implemented.

    The average lifetime of a router designed for home use is about 5 years, so we're not sure how much time and effort you want to invest in AirPort Extreme you have there.

    Frankly, it is remarkable that the product works for the iMac, because status messages indicate that you have an Internet connection.  We cannot explain this one.

    We also don't know if amber on the most convenient airport is flashing, or remains Orange fixed. Can clarify you on this, please?

    If you want to try to start over again and set up the AirPort Extreme, the first bit of information that we need is the number of brand and model of your modem.  We don't need a serial number, only the manufacturer name and number for the modem to the model.

    We will try to help, but who can give no assurance that we will be able to get things working for you.

  • IMac (El Capitan v.10.11.6) slow

    My IMac runs very slowly.  I had this problem with previous Mac and am aware that I could have Malware installed somewhere.  Looking at other posts, I ran EtreCheck and will post it here.  I ran it once, found malware and rmoved it.  However, it works more slowly.  Slow to start, slow down to run programs (MS Office, Photoshop) and browser (Chrome).  I do not see there is a coupon printer, which is a year or two ago and I thought I deleted.  I can't find anywhere in my applications.  Not sure that is the question.

    Any advice would be welcome.

  • iMac/El Capitan 10.11.3 Performance

    Hello

    My iMac is about seven years now, and as mentioned above, we do not have El Capitan 10.11.3.  Since the last update, the boot process is excruciatingly slow as is the opening of applications such as: Numbers, Pages, Photos, system preferences, etc.  We only used about 1/3 of our hard disk space (it's a 4 GB HD) and the CPU is 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

    I can do to improve performance, in particular, the boot process?  As a tip, I did normal things like removing login items, removing unnecessary applications on "Dashboard", removal of office files, etc..

    Thank you and best regards,
