• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I have created my first movie in imovie. I burned it using idvd. When I played it back with my dvd player on my tv, the format was too large. The sides of the image were cut off and everyone appeared fatter than normal. Where do I find the option to choose a format so I can show my dvd on a regular tv (4 by 3 format)or a wide screen (16 by 9 format) tv?

Hi
In iMovie HD (Tiger) the format you get is dependent on the Theme that you choose. Can't comment on iMovie '08 Cheers M

It may help if you tell us the versions of iMovie and iDVD you are using. Also what is the aspect ratio of the video?
