how to uninstall iMovie 3 and restore iMovie 2

[0bserblur]

I am a newbie in Apple products. I had recently upgraded my iMovie2 to
iMovie3 in my iMac. I must say it is a good software with lots of
enhancement compared to iMovie 2 . Sadly speaking iMovie 3 does not
supports iDVD2, therfore I can't transfer my iMovie clips into DVD disc.
And I have no intention to upgrade my iDVD to v3 atm. I was wondering are
there any ways to uninstall iMovie3 and install iMovie2 by using the CDs
(restore, system) that comes with the iMac. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.

isn't iDVD3 free for the download? Can't you just check Software Updates
and see if it is available to you?

That was the impression I got from it, considering I am a little over a
year Mac newbie with a PowerMac with superdrive and version 3 of iMovie
and iDVD.

Good luck.
