[G4] iMovie and iDVD

[Anne Keller-Smith]

Hi all -

My Dad has a iMac G4 with 60GB HD and 512MB RAM. We have 1.5 hrs. video 
footage to make into a DVD, but neither of us has done this before. I 
checked with a friend about how much footage would import at one swoop, 
and he said that amount would be ok.

One other thing: Dad has OS10.1 and I haven't been able to get him to 
upgrade! Maybe some of this is due to that ... Also, all versions of 
iMovie and iDVD are from that era also - it is iDVD2 tho.

We imported the footage into iMovie and exported as DVD. It has been 
six hours and it says 19 hours to go? Any ideas? Initially said it 
would be 300 minutes.

We did a successful experiment with a 1-minute clip and took that .mov 
file into iDVD and successfully burned a disk which played on the DVD 
player. So it must be too much footage?

Any ideas?
