[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1377302"] The reason Apple stopped adding iDVD to Macs: 1. Most people just pop edited videos up to YouTube these days. 2. iDVD took a REALLY LONG TIME to make a DVD and people are just not patient anymore. 3. The program was prone to being very buggy when it didn't have TONS of disk space available. So, looking at things objectively, I think Apple's reasoning here is pretty sound. iDVD just never measured up to the quality of Apple experience the company demands, and not enough people were needing the feature to make it worth developing further (and that's before you get into the limitations of the format itself, which is rapidly going obsolete). Also, not to be snide but ... if DVD burning software is that important to you, why is "must be free" a precondition? I think you're kind of making Apple's point right there. You can try Burn (that's what it's called), it's free. Toast is a LOT better but, unsurprisingly, high-quality software generally costs money. [/QUOTE]
