Hey everyone,
I'm making my first DVD here and was wondering what the best way to compress a video for iDVD would be. If I were to use the "For iDVD" option, my video would be around 11GB. What's the best (and shortest) way to get this thing around 4.7GB? Thanks...

DV is huge, simple as that, but the quality is superb purely because it's uncompressed.
<strong>I'd try it as is, if I were you: don't forget that iDVD will have to re-encode the movie in MPEG-2 format, but it needs a clean DV-encoded movie to start with.

DV is compressed.
How else do you think they get it down to 3.3MB/sec
Thanks again.
<strong>Yes, iDVD will fit 90 minutes of video on a blank DVD, regardless of what the file size is before compressing.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Awesome!!! It sounds like I was just making things seem harder than they really should have been huh! Thanks alot for all of your responses!
