iMovie’s purpose is to create a movie, which
can be published to a Web page, sent to an
iPod or Apple TV, or distributed in other
ways. iDVD’s purpose, however, is to create a
project that can be burned to a DVD disc. It
contains high-quality video and audio that
will play on a consumer DVD player. Without
the disc-burning step, iDVD is pretty much
just an interesting exercise in customizing a
user interface.
True to form, the process of burning a disc is
simple: click the glowing Burn button, insert
a recordable DVD disc (DVD-R, DVD-RW,
DVD+R, or DVD+RW), and go outside to
enjoy the sunshine for a few hours. But get-
ting to that point, while not difficult, involves
a few choices that determine the amount of
data that can be stored on the disc and the
quality of the finished project.
Archiving, Encoding, and Burning
Déja Vu
This chapter is identical to Chapter 20
in the
iMovie ’09 & iDVD for Mac OS X:
Visual QuickStart Guide print book.
Although that book doesn’t go into as
much detail about iDVD as this adden-
dum, I wanted the information available
for people who just want to burn a DVD
after editing a movie in iMovie.
Supplement for iMovie 09 and iDVD for Mac OS X: Visual QuickStart Guide by Jeff Carlson.
