I bought DVDSP last weekend, that would be one reason :^)  I've taken a look
at iDVD, it doesn't offer the features I want/need.  I like the Anamorphic
Widescreen support, and greater control over encodes that DVDSP offers.  As
for FCE, I bought it when I got my G5 2x2 as I didn't want to pass up the
chance to get it for $100.  This was before I knew if iMovie would work for
me or not, I did up one test project with iMovie and iDVD, I might use the
two for some projects, but overall I think I'll be using FCE and DVDSP.

I've just about finished editing the video I shot of last Christmas in 16:9,
and will hopefully start learning how to use DVDSP in the next couple days. 
My goal is to have the finished product done by the 25th.
