    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

Greetings

OK, so I'm something of a Luddite, I guess. I excuse myself because of my advanced years.....

The essential point is that I like iDVD, but whilst I have it on my machine (a mid 2011 iMac), a number of themes are greyed out. This, I find limiting.

I have the iLife 09 disk from my old iMac running Snow Leopard, and reading elsewhere, I have downloaded Pacifist.

Can anyone guide me step by step, please, on how I get the themes from this disk onto my iMac.

I really don't want to screw things up.

Be gentle with me...

Thanks

If you have Pacifist, you can look for the themes.

- Open the DVD after inserting it into the iMac
- Copy the PKG installer file to your computer
- Unpack it using Pacifist

From there you'll have to probably hunt for the theme files.

But once you have them, you need to copy them here:

/Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/

Sorry I can't help you more in finding the themes.
