I'm using a Powerbook G4 with OSX.  I've created a video project in
i-movie.  It is 2 hours and 27 minutes long and I think it is 32
gigabytes in size (most of it is straight video imported from dvc- the
rest is a few pictures, titles and transitions).  I'd like to fit it
all on 1 dvd even though I know
I'd lose some quality.  The most important thing is that it plays on
regular dvd players (not computers).  I'm confused about quicktime
options because it seems I can't play quicktime files on a regular dvd
player.
not sure if it helps but I also have these programs on my computer
which might present me with other options:  idvd, dvd studio pro,
final cut express and final cut pro
please if you need clarification to answer, just ask:)

Clarification of Question by genki2-ga on 21 Jun 2004 18:08 PDT

open to other ideas too.. is there a compression program I can buy?

If you want any movies to play on a regular DVD player you will need
to convert your movie to Mpeg2 and then author it to a DVD disk

Corwin02- thanks for that info- learn something new everyday!  I'm
curious- do you know if exporting to mpeg2 is a form of compression?

It is a form of compression and all DVD burn programs do it on the fly
while burning your DVD , unfortunately i do not have much experience
with Mac software so I will give you a few links to DVD burn programs
and leave it up to you to test them and see if they fit your needs

From Imovie export to Idvd and burn to disc!
