| 582144 | 2007-08-21 04:41:00 | But they don't come bundled nor are they as easy to use nor work as smoothly as the iLife combo. iMovie 08 reviewed here blogs.pcworld.com I think that the strength of iLife is that it is a unified package. Arranging a musical score for iMovie in GarageBand is definitely useful. I'd eventually like to see iLife to become more seem-less. It is a fairly elegant package... but not irreplaceable. Alternatives: MS Movie Maker already onboard. Picasa for iPhoto picasa.google.co.nz I haven't looked too much into Music or interactive DVD burning tools for PC. Fruity Loops express is still around, not free, but very cool. www.flstudio.com |

| 582145 | 2007-08-21 04:44:00 | Alternatives: MS Movie Maker already onboard. From what I have read about issues from PF1 users with exporting from Movie Maker to burn to DVD, it is not as straight forward a process as using iMovie to iDVD. (Without the help of an in between app) |

| 582146 | 2007-08-21 04:55:00 | Pfft, its easy as anything to burn a DVD straight after editing it. Don't make stuff up. Just use Nero and you can do all sorts of things. Just because you have to use a good in-between app doesn't make it any more complicated or harder. I got Ulead free and that does it directly as well. People don't always have to buy software you know. We get a lot with new computers (sometimes not needed but there anyway) |

| 582147 | 2007-08-21 05:06:00 | The main difference with a PC is that while the 3rd party apps you use might be great and free you still have to know about them and where to find them in order to use them since they aren't part of the package, just a small detail, but it is the small details that go towards the overall ease of use. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 582148 | 2007-08-21 05:23:00 | From what I have read about issues from PF1 users with exporting from Movie Maker to burn to DVD, it is not as straight forward a process as using iMovie to iDVD. (Without the help of an in between app) I assume that you'd be relying on the DVD writing software that comes bundled with the DVD writer. I don't think that Microsoft have developed a iDVD type package... should they? |

| 582149 | 2007-08-21 05:25:00 | Depends if they want to get into the creative home user market. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 582150 | 2007-08-21 09:40:00 | iLife is elegant and all... but It wouldn't be the primary reason for choosing a Mac. as said above, there are plenty of free apps. MS Movie Maker is fine as an entry level editor. Not flash Harry, but does the job. Woah, A grounded purchaser of Mac gear. I'm impressed. Shows there is hope yet. Now, Back to Winmacguys adulation of the one true way.... |
