Despite having a Pioneer DVD-burner for some time, I simply hadn’t the opportunity to cut a DVD movie – that is, until my dad asked me to cut a DVD of my 1-year old nephew’s birthday party. 🙂 So I attached the miniDV cam to my PowerMac, imported the footage into iMovie, did a few simple edits, exported it into iDVD and…voila! Now I have an actual DVD, with menus, photo slideshows all in a few minutes (that is, minus the almost-two-hours of encoding that needed to be done before the disc was burnt heh).

It’s amazing just how integrated and easy-to-use Apple’s iLife applications are.

Still, even with the most intuitive of software, there will be users who’d have certain questions not addressed by Apple’s excellent built-in Help system. So what to do? Check out this excellent Unofficial iDVD FAQ page.

Oh, and since I’ve just posted something Mac-related, here’re a rather comprehensive page on OS X Routine Maintenance & Generic Troubleshooting.
