[MacDV] Re: iDVD encoding

[R B Williams]

I think the only reason they showed was that iDVD didn't clean up after itself when the
power dropped. I use Drive 10 (Micromat) to defragment and it regularly completes with
more free space then when it starts, so my guess is that those are temp files being
erased from the directories. I really think that regular disk maintenance keeps lots of
issues from developing in the first place.
