“9 to 5 Mac points to a book listing [Google translation] on Amazon’s German site discussing the as-yet-unreleased iLife ’11 suite,” Eric Slivka reports for MacRumors.
“The cover artwork and Amazon description for the new book, which is set to launch in December, appear to reveal several features of the next revision of iLife, including the possibility of additional iOS apps beyond the current iMovie offering,” Slivka reports. “In particular, a red ribbon graphic across the top right corner of the book’s cover reads as follows: “iPhoto, iMovie and more with Apps for Mac, iPhone 4, iPod and iPad.”
Slivka reports, “Additional text as automatically translated in the book’s description claims a number of other features, including a 64-bit codebase, iWeb revamp, and the disappearance of iDVD.”

MacDailyNews Note: Actually, 9 to 5 Mac’s article states that “iDVD is also listed as part of the iMovie App even though some had written if off for dead.”

Somehow I doubt the feature list for the iOS apps will be quite as extensive as for the OSX versions. Even given that the Mac versions are supposed to be teasers for the Pro versions, they offer a lot. Less of everything in the iOS versions should lead to a judicious editing of the feature list.
Of course, that doesn’t mean many users will be pining for the loss. Darn near anything included will be a feature not available on most “competing” mobile devices. Recording input, editing what you’ve recorded, inserting stock content … all are less than “Just Do It” easy on about anything else.
Predrag, I more than agree. I won’t buy a Mac,( to replace my G5)
unless I can BURN to blu-ray (included with mac). I don’t care about playing movies–that’s for the living room. I want to edit and burn.
Two questions:
Just what are the problems with DRM?
If I edit in FCP in 4:2:2, what can I do with it? I mean cable, broadcast, and Blu-ray are 8 BIT color. Doing great composite, green/blue screen, keying in FCP 10 bit sounds great but if I can’t show it on a 10 BIT blu-ray recording, it seems kinda a waste. HDMI can handle 10 BIT I think, but I don’t know if a compatable 10 BIT blu-ray disk can be made to play on a blu-ray player. Anyone know the answer to that?
