Can anyone help please?

I've recently moved over to a MacBook from having always been on a windows PC.

The new MacBook has iMovie but nothing I can find for burning family home movies etc onto DVD to watch.

Does anyone have any solutions? I use a Sony HD camcorder.

Any help appreciated.

I've got the external CD/DVD writer (SuperDrive).
It's the software to burn the films/pics to disc that I need.

Apple stopped supplying iDVD with new macs a couple of years ago - I recently found this out too with a new MacBook Pro purchase. There are a few options out there but I haven't invested in or tried any. I still have my old MacBook Pro, but it's 8 years old now so it's showing it's age a touch.

Good luck with what you go with.

I use Burn. Free, and powerful. One quirk re track ordering, though.

As per above Burn and/or Roxio's Toast. iDVD came in a bundle called iLife. If you can obtain that (Amazon etc) i think it's worth it. Plus the last version of iMovie that comes with it is a LOT better than the current free one. In my opinion.
