Hello all,

I have imported about 70 minutes of 16:9 video from my Sony MiniDV video camera to iMovieHD. It is all edited now with titles, music, and transitions, but i'd like to export it to a DVD or two or three, however long it takes. I can also do the dual layer burning as well if I get the right disc type.

But my question is, how do I export it to a reasonable size? Right now, it is about 16GB! I would really like to export this to a DVD so I can watch it on a DVD player without having to use 4 DVD's.

Anyone have any insights?

Thanks!

I think a program called Popcorn is what you need.....not having to have done this myself as yet.
