'''iDVD''' is a discontinued [[Mac (computer)|Mac]] application made by [[Apple Inc.|Apple]], which can be used to [[DVD authoring|create DVDs]].

iDVD lets users design DVD menus (like a main menu and chapter selection menu) and burn movies, slideshows, and music onto a [[DVD]] that can be played on a commercial [[DVD player]]. It was created as part of Apple's "digital hub" strategy, as a companion tool to [[iMovie]]. Early versions were received positively, but later versions languished as [[internet video]] overtook DVDs, and iDVD was abandoned in 2011.
