iLife '04 Shipping

iLife

Bought my daughter a new iBook G4 at the Apple Store in Alpharetta, GA on Monday night. Apple Employee told me to bring the receipt in on Friday 1/16 and they'd hand me a new copy of the updated iLife.

I continue to like Apple!

It's useful for me. I have an iBook that I carry *everywhere*, and a 17" iMac at home. It would be nice to d/l video from the camcorderand edit it in iMovie, and build the menus and themes in iDVD on location in preparation for burning it onto DVD on the iMac when I get home.

I asked the manager of the apple store in st. louis that same question and he told me they couldn't do that and I had to pay the $20 to have it shipped.

I see. I guess I was wondering if it was possible to burn "mini" DVDs onto regular CDs. Since most home movies are pretty short (or they should be) it would be a cheap way to share them.

You don't neccessarily have to have Apple's SuperDrive. A Pioneer dual format DVD burner will work fine in iDVD. Recognizes it as a SuperDrive.
 
They do now. I know 2 people who both just bought an eMac and and iMac with combo drives and the both came with iDVD installed. I wondered why until I saw the new archive feature of iDVD announced at the keynote.
 
shipping DOWNgraded

I ordered mine after the keynote, and popped for overnight shipping. I just checked my status, and I've been switched to 2 day delivery (with no change in my $13 s/h costs). Of course, it still lists as "open," not "shipped." We'll see what happens.
 
Actually, the ones without a superdrive have been coming with it... unless if one product in the line has a superdrive they all get the software... I have a 12" combo drive powerbook, and it came installed on mine. (granted, i need to get this iLife when it comes out to get the new versions of everything.)

You could fit about 8 or 9 minutes of DVD quality footage on a CD (assuming 700MB).

The previous version of iDvd only allowed you to use it if you had a SuperDrive equipped mac.

What is the archive feature in iDVD now? I must have missed that in the Keynote. Does it just mean you can back-up your DVD's to your HD?
 
any edu copy's shipped?

just wondering...

has anyone with an EDU had their copy shipped yet?

i was upgraded to the 2 day shipping, ordered right after the keynote, but still no shipping confirmation...

The new iDVD allows you to work on a non-superdrive Mac and then save the project "as archive" so you can transfer it to another Mac to burn the DVD.

--
I didn't think that non-superdrive machines used to get it because one of the 'parts' of my PowerBook order was "Keyboard + iDVD", which was separate form the operating system. I thought this wasn't included on the combo systems (and didn't even install?). Still, it's nice to have it all the same!

Well, I need to forget about it all now - my new iLife order will not get here for about another 3 weeks!

Mine is still listed as Open, but is due here by tomorrow.

That's awesome. So you can pretty much do everything in the project but burn on a machine with no SuperDrive. Then when you move the project to a machine with a SuperDrive, all you have to do is burn the project to DVD.

You got it. I am going to be making iDVD projects on my Cube in no time.
 
Mine shipped today from PA. I should have it for the weekend. I also ordered the keyboard which does not ship until 01/21/2004.
 
I ordered mine w/in an hour after the keynote, but haven't gotten a shipping confirmation yet. Its overnight, because I am going away on friday and was hoping to receive it by tomorrow, like the last time an iLife update was released (it came 1 day early). Hope to get the shiipping confirmation soon.
