I have iDVD 3.0.1 regularly hanging my machine (or at least hogging 99.99% of the CPU so nothing else moves/works.)
This is on a G4/450AGP, 256MB. No other devices except my keyboard and (a logitech) mouse are connected. I have the old stock ATI card that came with the G4 and an extra Formac Proformance card in there. Clean install of Jaguar & iLife with latest updates, i.e.
- OSX 10.2.8
- QT 6.4
- iDVD 3.0.1
I cant even do the iDVD tutorial - and this is far from burning or even encoding.
Hangup occurs reliably but not predictably. Sometimes it happens when I press the Customize button to open the drawer, sometimes when i drag a movie into the theme, sometimes when I press the Animate button.
Ironically I just started using my mac again after years developing software on windows, just so I can make and burn movies. This is a practically impossible task on Windows (the software - and I have tried >7 packages - is really crap) I remember using the first iMovie and its simplicity and elegant design was genius. It still is.
But for the iLife of me I cant seem to get any computer, any OS, any app to assemble (never mind encode or burn) a DVD for me...
Sigh.
Any suggestions ? Thanks in advance !
PS: I did the usual Disk First Aid & Repair permissions...didnt help
