[QUOTE="xstep, post: 277562, member: 11647"] iDVD can save to a disk image. Under the File menu there is "Save as Disk Image". You'll need enough space on the hard drive because it encodes all the assets and creates and image that you may than burn to a DVD disk. I prefer this method over performing the write directly to DVD because I can cancel it without potentially ruining a disk early in the process. I then use Toast to write the DVD, but I think Disk Utiltity found in Applications/Utilities might do the same thing in this case. Note that the encoded assests are saved in your iDVD project file too from what I've seen. This will allow to possibly create a second disk quicker the next time, if you haven't changed anything. I try to set my video projects up on a large secondary drive mainly because my prjects get to big for my internal drive. Lately people have also been saying you loose some performance with huge boot drives. I don't want to discuss the technical reasons behind that. As for wearing out the drive, it is just a matter of time I suppose. I'm amazed how long these things last. I've never (yet) had a drive go bad on me. Backup. There are many things that possibly can cause you issues, but the two big ones from my experience is capture and writing from/to the camera. You want a clean capture because dropped data will not make for a nice video. Advanced users also write a master copy back to a tape for storage, and of course you do not want dropped data during that process. Anyway, play around with it all, and search the forums for more information because alot has been asked about iMovie and iDVD. [/QUOTE]
