G'day all - i'll try and be quick ;)

iMac DV SE G3 450 Mhz, 80 Gig HD, Pioneer 108 burner in external
firewire enclosure (used patchburn to get it recognised. works like a
charm).

AM trying to create 'social stories' DVD for developentally delayed son
(he's a visual learner) ...

iMovie edits movies from DV Camera (with a minimum of fuss), but iDVD 3,
4 & 5 all crash - assume they all need a G4.

Dragged & dropped completed iMovie project on Toast 6 - took 2 days to
render, and was a bit blocky, plus had a few playback issues on a recent
Sony DVD player.

Questions:

What are my alternatives? Will iMovie 2 work on a G3? (And if so, where
can I get a copy? Searched eBay, and even a few places one shouldn't
look ...)

Are there other tools that will do the jobbie?

Your constructive advice would be greatfully appreciated.
