I've just finished editing a final cut express movie. I've already exported it as a quicktime movie. The file is 5 gigabytes, I've tried to burn this movie and other movies of even higher size using iDVD '06 onto DVD Rs and DVD RWs. It has never worked. Is this because iDVD doesn't compress the movie files prior to burning them on the disk? If not, what do I do to solve this problem? PLEASE HELP! It's been like this for 2 years!

Hi there...(http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303177) states:
Sharing Full Quality HDV from iMovie HD does not export correct aspect ratio (1920 x 1080, 16:9)
After completing your edit of an HDV 1080i widescreen project in iMovie HD 6, you can export a QuickTime movie by choosing Share > QuickTime. You can also choose File > Export and then click the QuickTime icon.
If you choose the Full Quality option from the Compress movie for pop-up menu, you can export a full resolution QuickTime movie for use in iDVD or other applications.
When you import the resulting QuickTime movie into an iDVD project, the video will incorrectly be displayed with a 4:3 aspect ratio (instead of 16:9) when imported to iDVD 6 widescreen project.

I don't know about iDVD 6, I have iDVD 5 and it does not. I just thought I would suggest the program Roxio Popcorn. It will compress the movie to flt and it does a pretty good job. Movies still look pretty good.
