I try to understand the ways to "archive projects" within the used events on DVDs
1) i want that only the used media in the final timeline (Project) is copied.
2) how can i minimize the data without corrupting the project -> deleting proxy and optimized media out of the folder before burning on DVD, so only the original media is there?
What is a easy way to do this, and later on to start the project without getting problems with lost media connections etc?
There is no full media manager in FCP. You can use the duplicate project function to duplicate the project together with only the clips used in the project, but it will be the whole clips. Do not duplcaite the render files. Unless it's a very small project, and the original media is heavily compressed, it's unlikely to fit on a DVD.
P.S. Most likely you will not be able to do much editing later, just trimming, unless you have all the media.

I may be wrong but there is this option of checking the 'Duplicate render files' which I unchecked ...still when the events folder got created...there was a render folder in it.....secondly is it so that before taking a back up of the event folder with the project folder on the DVD ,the render folder can be manually deleted.....?
The render folder that dirsnt get duplicated is in the project folder. The render file in events is just thumbnails and waveform displays.
