I need a copy of the iDVD themes folder. Can anyone help?

After changing my hard drive after a failure, I managed to copy all my stuff more, or so I thought. When I open iDVD, the application asks me to find the folder "themes." I don't have it. Apple no longer support iDVD so I was wondering if someone could help a copy?

What version of iDVD you have?  You always have access to your old hard drive?  If so the folder you want to copy is named "iDVD" and will be located in one of two places:

HD/Library/Application Support

or

User/Home/Library/Application Support.

If you do not, you will need to get it by buying a copy of the diskette of iLife 09 of a 3rd party retailier as Amazon.com: ilife 09: softwareor eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) has been abandoned by Apple for more than a year.

Why iLife 09 instead of 11?

If you buy an iLife disc in order to get the iDVD application do not forget the drive of iLife 11 provides only themes for iDVD 5-7.  Installs the software update is no longer the earlier themes to start from the disc iLIfe 11, or the accession of iDVD 7 available on the Apple Downloads site contain them.

Currently the only sure fire get all the themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:


This shows the content of iDVD in iLife 09 via pacifist disc:

You can then pass from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 through accession to the Downloads Apple Web page.

Export the slideshow in iPhoto under a QT sequence via the export button in the toolbar below.  Select size = medium or large.

Open iDVD, choose a theme and slide the QT movie exported file in the iDVD window to avoid the drop areas.

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.
