What's the fastest easiest way to burn an iMovie into an iDVD

Hi

a. Use iMovie HD 6

b. Close iMovie and locate the movie project icon

c. Open iDVD and select an as simple menu possibly eg Brushed Metal (old themes)

d. Import movie or just drop it into iDVD window - but not into a button zone. (Import is easiest)

e. I choose
• Pro-Quality encoding (handles up to 120 minutes incl menu)
• DVD-R disks
• Verbatim
• x1 burnspeed (can be set in iDVD pref/Advance)
• minimum of 25Gb free space on internal boot hard disk

Limitations
• iDVD only cares about duration of movie (NOT GBs at all)
• SlideShows limited to 99 photos each (or do iit in iMovie)
• iMovie'08 and 09 not tools if High Quality is of need from miniDV material

Will exporting your movie to Quicktime, from the Share>Export>Quicktime selection, do what you want to do??

Andy

Any ideas for that version?

You can buy iLife 06 on ebay. The cost on ebay for iLife 06 keeps going up.

Hi

As Quality is of importance.

iMovie'08 and 09 are problematic and I've read but not figured out/tested ways
to get miniDV materal out with full quality to iDVD.

Just exporting via media browser deletes every second line in an interlaced movie
resulting in about VHS-Quality.

Working on how to do this - search forum for better advice.

alt. is to use a program that doesn't take down quality eg.
• iMovie up to version HD 6
• FinalCut Express (or Pro)
• Or if You are a master of patience and order - QuickTime-pro
(It can do edits as well as everything else - BUT it's raw work)
