idvd not starting from imovie

I have finished my movie finalized clicked share and idvd and it opens the preparing movie window completes that then nothing

I thought idvd was suppose to open from that

Strange. Have you tried launching iDVD and importing the clip that way?

Are you running the latest version of iMovie/iDVD and what about your Mac OSX version?

I just imported the movie into imovie.

This is my first Mac it in running Lion so I guess imovie and idvd are pretty much the latest.

All the tutorials I have seen say imovie should open idvd when from the share - idvd menu.

I also can't find idvd on the Mac I am sure I am just not looking in the correct place.

Thanks Jeff

Is iDVD not in your Applications? If not it may be missing from your Mac.

If this is a brand new Mac that came with Lion, bad news, Apple has dropped iDVD. It is no more. You can get it from a friend's Mac, though.
