File too large to fit onto Disc.

You should export the project to iDVD to burn it as a video-DVD.

Or compress it as H.264 and burn as a data-CD.

Or burn it as a miniDVD (a DVD video written onto a CD-R(W) instead of a DVD disc) although many people may not be able to play such disks.

Matti, I am struggling with the same problem as Megzers, of these HUGE gigabyte size files.

So, does iDVD compress the files to something more manageable? Is there a quality issue?

What about iMovie and Quick Time?

Thanks,

Tek

iDVD does compress the file down but you won't notice any worse quality loss than compressing it down into a Quick Time file, at least in my experience. There have been times where I've tried to burn files onto a CD and it says the file is too big. That's normal, you can't burn a 2.2 GB project onto a CD that only holds 700 MB. You can export it to iDVD and burn it that way, or you can export it out of iMovie it as a Quick Time file and burn it in Toast at a low burn speed to minimize the errors that may occur during the burn process (you can also simply drag your iMovie file into Toast as well to burn it to a DVD).

Does this help?

I created a movie and am trying to copy it onto a CD-R to give to people.

Just curious, why not put your movie on a DVD?
