Hi all. This is a very basic question but it is coming from someone who has never used imovie. I have a finished movie I have to burn to a DVD. The movie is almost 10 GB! Is there anyway to compress the movie? Right now it may not even fit on some large capacity DVD-R's. I should not the DVD I have to burn was done in imovie HD. Is this the reason it is so large? The movie is about a 1/2 hr. long.

As a novice, what I don't understand is the size issue. People must make longer movies than 1/2 ones and have a method to burn them.

Please not, I only have imovie (HD). I do not have GoLive or any other editing software.

Thanks

A 10 gig source file would be a stretch to compress enough to fit onto a single SL disc. You may be able to compress your file using DVD Shrink or Nero Recode enough to fit onto a DL disc, but the cost of a blank wouldn't constitute using it for a 30 minute film.

Not many here use Mac's and this topic would probably get better response in the Mac users subforum or here: http://www.apple.com/support/imovie/
