Question… does anyone know if there is a “newer” version of iMovie HD (maybe v6, which I haven’t tired) that maintains the relatively simple-to-use editing features of HD (v5), but has an integrated version of iDVD, that will run under something later than OS 10.3, such that I don’t have to go find a “G4 Superdrive”, since iDVD won’t recognize any of my later generation Superdrives (G5 and Mac Pro versions). I just started piecing together a G4 1.25GHz MDD, to run OS 10.3, in order to run the old versions of iMovie/iDVD. I’ve been tripping over newer versions of iMovie and iDVD, as well as other recording/editing/authoring programs for… what… 10 years now? These programs, and their “integration” with each other (key element there) have spoiled me. I unwittingly used iMovie HD (I believe v.5) and the accompanying iDVD apps I bought off eBay, just to have something to record and edit videos with. OK, so I’m not sure if I can explain this well-enough, but here goes… Whew! I want to THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Robert! I had Maverick 10.9!… I was devastated! How was I going to work on my many videos? I spoke with an iApps specialist at Apple Support who walked me through an ‘erase and reinstall’ of my previous Snow Leopard operating system 10.6…and my computer accepted your downloaded iMovie. Apple Support told me that after version 10.7, iMovie is no longer compatible. But I was most upset by having lost my beloved iMovie HD (which 6 years ago I had Apple Support send me to replace the then current version of iMovie on my new computer.) I thought I had hit the motherlode when I discovered iMovie HD on your site…but it was not compatible with Maverick. ($250) I also lost valuable software that I discovered Maverick would no longer support…which meant purchasing new!…such as Final Cut Pro. The Apple store did an ‘erase and reinstall’ and replaced my defunct Snow Leopard operating system with the latest called Maverick. Last week, my computer crashed and burned with all my data and software. Thank you so much for providing this invaluable service. :: Update – 4/20/20 – moved this link to a more permanent location :: (I updated the iMovie HD app to include the modified version string discussed in the other post. In the disk image is the “iMovie HD.app” application which you’ll drag to your /Applications folder and an “iMovie” folder which you’ll drag to your /Library/Application Support folder. Of course you’re trusting that I haven’t embedded some kind of nasty malware or anything, which I haven’t. Realizing, but not admitting, how much people hated the new iMovie, there was a period when Apple would let you download the previous and now-abandoned iMovie HD, but it is no longer available from Apple, even on their Old Software List, so until I’m given a Take Down notice, I’m putting iMovie HD up for grabs here. The later versions became more of a video manager (and not a good one), and a very rudimentary editor (and not a good one). At least that’s my opinion, and it’s shared by a few others. The last good version of Apple’s iMovie was version 6, later called iMovie HD. Jan 2015 update: Here’s a post about running iMovie HD in Yosemite.
