Okay,
I had started a thread a few days ago looking for information on putting a slideshow together in iMovie (thanks to all that helped with that). I've since finished it, but now I've got a whole other host of questions. =)
Here's my situation: I've put this slideshow together on my Powerbook, and while I can burn CDs on it, I can't burn DVDs. Currently, I don't know anyone else who has a mac that can burn DVDs--all of my friends/family members have PCs. Ultimately, I'd like to get this slideshow off my mac, and onto a DVD.
Questions:
1. Does anyone have any suggestions for how best I might do this? (vague, I know)
2. I've noticed that when I tried Exporting the slideshow (into a quicktime movie), I lost a LOT of image quality. Is there a way to avoid losing image quality while still transferring the slideshow both to a PC, and then to a DVD? The slideshow looks great when I just play it back in iMovie--it'd be a shame if that's the only place where it actually looks presentable.
3. If it's not possible to retain image quality AND transfer it to a DVD, is there any other way that I might at least get it transferred to, and playable on, a PC without sacrificing image quality?
I know these are some messy and complicated questions, but I'd appreciate any advice you could lend me.
TIA,
Michael
