The Best iDVD Alternative for Mac to Burn DVD

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac

iDVD doesn't come with new Mac computers any more since Mac OS X Mountain Lion, now that Apple has filed iDVD under "Old Technology That Interests Us Not". The entire world has access to fast broadband. So you can distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download rather than mailing them a DVD.

What should I use as a replacement for iDVD?

Since iDVD no longer comes with every new Mac from Lion, then what is the best replacement for burning movies? Apple no longer sells iLife '11 (which carries a copy of iDVD 7.1), but you can find a copy on Amazon for $40. Of course you can't be sure how long it will continue to work. After all, now it's an unsupported app. Thankfully, it's not your only option.

So it's not only a iDVD alternative for Mac but also iDVD for Windows alternative that lets you burn DVDs with a good looking DVD menu on PC.
