> Best Quality 
> Choose Best Quality when you want the final result to look its best. This mode
> maximizes your computer's resources to deliver the best result available from
> your source material. Because Best Quality requires a lot of computation, it
> takes longer to encode and burn a disc than Best Performance mode.
> 
> Best Performance 
> Choose Best Performance when you need to burn your DVD as quickly as possible.
> This mode encodes your project faster than Best Quality mode. The time it
> takes to encode and burn a disc in this mode is comparable the performance of
> iDVD 3.0.1.
> 
> The option for Best Performance is available for projects that are less than
> 60 minutes long. The Best Quality option is available for projects of all
> lengths (maximum of approximately two hours).
> 
> To chose the settings for your project:
> 
> 1.      From the iDVD menu, choose Preferences.
> 
> 2.      Click General.
> 
> 3.      Select Best Quality or Best Performance in the Encoder Settings
section.
