Idvd movie length different to Imovie

Hi All

I hope you can help. I have just completed an Imovie project, shared it to media browser and then imported it to iDVD to burn but it says it is too big. I know that you can only have 2 hours of video so I cut some footage and now on I movie it is 1:15:31 but on Idvd it says that it is 132.51 minutes


I am a little confused. I movie talks in hours and minutes yet Idvd talks in minutes.

Either way the time length is completely different. Any ideas? It is driving me crazy.

Cheers

Did you share the movie again and re-import that into iDVD? Sounds like iDVD is using the original file.

Yes, I shared it again and made sure the new version was the cut down one but still the times are completely out.

Any ideas?

In iDVD check the Project properties to see which file iDVD is using, then open that in QuickTime to investigate further.
