iMovie 3 and iDVD 3 Grumblings

[Mike Swope]

iMovie 3 has several problems. 1) Slow. 2) Can't split video clip at the 
beginning of the timeline with fade-in and titling, 'cause the audio 
begins playing immediately (behind the titling and fade-in) when it 
shouldn't (doesn't show in iDVD this way, only on export). 3) Can't 
export for iDVD 2 as easily as before (up-front option removed); only 
true iDVD export (with chapters) must be exported directly to iDVD 3.

Haven't had opportunity to try iDVD 3. Too many problems with iMovie 3 
(the clipping part makes it useless for me) to warrant installing iDVD 3 
and risking further workarounds-to-be-developed.
