No DVD *video* disc is uncompressed -- ALL OF THEM USE MPEG-2 COMPRESSION --
the only difference is bit rate -- higher for better quality using more disc
space, lower for lower quality using less disc space.  When iDVD creates a
disc, it does the compression "in the background", and "transparent to the
end-user" so you don't have to think about it...

See my other post about quality difference on a video DVD created from
various source codecs -- the quality difference will be virtually
non-existent between source using the DV codec vs. the "None" codec.
