    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.

You time constraint of 10 minutes isn't making sense to me. I think you need to explain more of your work flow. The expected is; camera to imovie for editing, to a file to import into iDVD. Only iMovie 08 can't export to iDVD directly. What versions of the software are you using?

What should happen is that when you have your content in iDVD, it should all be playable, so test it there first. If that works, upon a DVD creation, the content is converted to MPEG2 files for burning to a DVD.

See these three threads regarding creating a disc image without actually burning a DVD; 1, 2, 3.
