They couldn't do a direct copy, but they wouldn't have to think too much about a features implementation, which i sometimes think takes longer than the coding itself...

iMovie Pro is great.. wait it's FCP
iMovie Pro is great software more features than the iLife version iMovie, but seriously the app is iMovie Pro of FCP express at best. Apple drop the ball on this one, FCP people really are not looking for a iMovie app for a pro editing suite. Give A month for apple to admit they where wrong and give us a proper FCP release.

I'd have to say the word is pretty well spread on it's own at this point. Also, you don't know what Apple's stance on the feedback is yet.
Don't start fights with those who know no opponent.

It is unlikely, to say the least, that Final Cut X will ever support proper blu-ray and DVD authoring. They killed off DVDSP and so I need another editing package.
The need for new disc authoring software does not exclude FCPX as an editing package. Final Cut never did do disc burning. That responsibility was left to another app such as DVDSP, iDVD, or the Adobe product, Encore I think.
I'm not aware of any other full disc Mac authoring products and am not sure iDVD even belongs in this list. Given that Apple seems to want out of this class of software, it seems only your Mac choice is the Adobe tool.
Or just to sit around using DVD Studio Pro 4 and Encore in partnership to get the job done. Just because Apple has stopped selling it doesn't make it useless or any less of a solution. Im still using Shake 4 for instance, and have no intention of stopping using it just because Apple EOLd it and removed it from sale years ago.
FCP X does support DVD & Blu-ray export even though I have not used it yet. But I think its just a down and dirty burn it to optical drive and that is it. It probably does not do menus or anything fancy.
I did the same thing with Live Picture, a great image editing program that was on par with Photoshop. But then I went to install it on my new Mac and poof... it wouldn't work. Tried to get updates... oh, wait! Dead software. Same thing is going to happen to you eventually unless your computer lasts forever and you never upgrade. It's not even clear if FC7 is going to run on Lion; and don't be surprised if it doesn't. So, in about a month we might be at the end of the line for FC7 and new operating system compatibility. If not Lion, then surely the next one? Of course, you could stick with what you have and get left behind in the fast pace world of technology.
Personally I don't view that as in any way sensical. But regardless, I don't care, as if I have too, I will stick 10.6 on one of the internal drives on my Mac Pro and reboot into that OS install when I want to use FCS3/Shake 4, and then use another drive to have the current latest and greatest. Heck, I still use Mac OS 9. Yes its on an older Mac, and yes its no longer current, but it still works and does exactly what it did in 2002. I have no problem keeping older Machines around if it means I am more productive. I have been playing it this way since about 2000, and will continue to do so, and as far as keeping machines alive, I think Im doing pretty well given my 8100/100 is still ticking over and in full-time use what about 17 years later.
