Nope, that's DVD Player. Though I think iMovie would let you work with some DVD content.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Where can I hide my shame?

iMovie is for creating movies. iDVD is for creating DVDs. DVD Player is for playing DVDs.
Of the above, the only one I do not personally detest is DVD Player. Give me Final Cut / DVD Studio Pro any day of the week. (Not that I can afford Final Cut Studio on my home machine, but still. Final Cut Express pre-installed is under $100, and approximately twelve billion times better for video editing than iMovie.)

I think the guy who sold me the iMac has left Final Cut of some description installed, as it happens. He didn't give me CDs for anything, but there's a lot of software on there.

I only mentioned iMovie because it comes standard with Macs.

Oh, I know -- I just have, um, strong opinions about video editing/processing software where Macs are concerned.

No worries, Jessica. I've done a bit of video editing with iMovie on my Mac Mini, and have seen much room for improvement (to put it mildly). If I get to the point where I'm doing more of it, I'll definitely look into Final Cut.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
As long as y'all are talking iMovie...Why can't I get it to add in the music? I choose the music. I put it where I want it, cut it where I want it to stop, then when I play the movie? No music.

Look into Avid Express, too. (Or Avid Xpress DV, or Liquid, or whatever the current prosumer version is.)
It's not as prettily integrated with OSX as FCP is, but just about everything good about FCP was lifted from Avid in the first place -- it's been the industry standard since before Apple even got into the game.

If I go into Dashboard, I can see GarageBand is eating a lot of CPU -- but I don't have it open. It's not at the bottom, and I can't see if it I try Force Quit. I should really just give up and reboot, but I don't want to.
