In addition, iDVD required another 15GB to burn the movie. If you’re burning your project as a gift like I was, make sure you find out whether the recipients DVD player can play DL discs.Ĭlear some hard drive space – To export a project such as mine to iDVD required around 15GB of free hard drive space to work. In fact, they only just began so here’s a few tips that I hope might be able to help you if you’ve found yourself in the same situation.Ĭheck DVD Player compatibility – For some strange reason, many DVD players can’t even play DVD Double Layer disks and this includes new players too. So I ended up paying almost $20 just to use one disc. My only option was to buy a blank Double Layer (DL) DVD which annoyingly, are only sold in packs around where I live. To split the film in iMovie and re-export it to iDVD would have taken absolutely ages. Even when edited, the final edited footage came to almost 8GB – way too much to fit on a normal DVD.īlank Single Layer (SL) DVDs can only hold 4.7GB of data so I had a big problem.
The problem was this involved years of film which added up to 60GB of DV footage in iMovie. I recently transfered all of my family’s home movies onto one DVD using iMovie and iDVD.
