 If you want to EDIT video and make a DVD use iMovie 06 not iMovie 08 August 31, 2007

iMovie 08 is a nice video ASSEMBLER, not a video editor.
* No Chapter Markers for iDVD
* No Share to iDVD
* No timeline
* No 'Save Frame' (Great for making DVD art)
* No frame-accurate editing possible. You cannot stop a clip at a specific frame
* No granularity--only global audio changes allowed
* Loss of multiple audio tracks
* No sound on import
* Loss of plugin support
* Cannot change transition speed after inserting a transition without making global changes
* No audio waveforms
* Cannot vary clip speed
* No pause control for titles
* Cannot play audio over black (when the clip is over, so is your audio. Apple knows best!)
* Cannot select a sequence of clips to move elsewhere within the movie
* Cannot overlap audio tracks (again...no multiple tracks)
* No themes
* Cannot extract audio (of course, you can't do much of ANYTHING with audio in this thing)
* Cannot import projects from older versions without losing, well...everything important.
iMovie 06 can do all of the above.
iMovie 08 is fine to assemble a 3 minute video to share on youtube, but it lacks many of the features that are needed for longer projects or if you want to make a DVD of your movie.
iMovie 08 should be called iVideo, or iTube. I think Apple will eventually go from 3 video editing programs to 4, and the upgrades to iMovie 06 will continue.
iMovie 08 is a nice video ASSEMBLER, not a video editor.
Want those missing capabilities? Apple has great video-editing programs for you, iMovie 06 (iMovie HD) or Final Cut Express they are Great.
Check Hardware requirements carefully... August 31, 2007

Excellent product. Mostly incremental upgrades from previous version but all are an improvement over iLife '06. One exception is iMovie '08. They've increased the automation in it, but decreased the amount of user control at the same time. It's received mixed reviews in the press, but Apple has made the previous version of iMovie available via download via the web for those users who prefer having more control and/or the previous version. One other issue is that the hardware rqmts are on the high side and iMovie '08 won't install on anything older than a G5 or Intel-based Mac and the suite itself won't install on anything below a G4.
