[MacDV] fundamental question

[Mike Swope]

The only problem I've ever had is with iMovie 3 (see recent posts about 
this). I haven't tried iDVD 3. Both iMovie 2 and iDVD 2 work for me 
exactly as expected. The key in this combo of 2's is to use quality 
DVD-R media (Apple, Sony, TDK and apparently Maxell).
