In 2009, using my DP 1.8 GHz Power Mac, I effortlessly prepared DVDs from iMovie. I can no longer do this. iMovie v 5.0.2 works perfectly but attempts to prepare a DVD cause iDVD 5.0.1 load and then crash. I have loaded a virgin Mac OS 5 system from an original Mac OS 5 Leopard disk and virgin iMovie and iDVD from an original iLife disk. I have run Disk Warrior 4.4 on the Mac OS 5 partition and after running Disk Warrior, disk check, file check and permissions check all pass. I'm open to any suggestions about what I should to restore the 2009 capability of my old Power Mac system. Thanks.

DP 1.8? Is that a G5 Power Mac? Does the Mac crash or just iDVD? You might
want to try OS X 10.3 (Panther) because it was native to the G5 1.8 GHz
Power Mac.
If you can be a little more specific, I'll try to help :)

"Leopard", so obviously MacOS X 10.5.

you need to use the newer version of iDVD that comes with iLife '08 or
'09.

You can download the iLife disk images from the Internet Archive
<https://archive.org/search.php?query=ilife&and[]=mediatype%3A%22software%22>
or buy a second-hand copy from place like eBay.
Another option is to save the iMovie as a disk image, then use Disk
Utility or another third-party app to burn that to a disc.
