• 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 a 1 1/2 hr project. It will not allow to burn DVD. How can I export the clips so that it is reduced to 1 hr so I can burn. I am using IMovie 5.

Here is the deal as I have used iDVD a lot so I may be able to help you on this. What takes up a lot of room on a 4.7GB DVD-R or +R is putting clips and music in the menu portion of the dvd. If you cut out the music and stuff on that part and just go with the bare minimum you will be able to have more video space. Also in preferences you may want to change quality to good rather than highest because that increases or decreases the data size. I haven't seen significant qualtiy loss in doing it. You can't tell the difference. I ran into that same problem but it was because I was trying to add music to the menu and it put me over the 4.7 gigs.
