iDVD encoding

[Dorothy Hennings]

I just trashed an old system file and now have 6.73 GB available on the 
startup HD

I'm thinking of changing the name of my iMovie (on the folder and on 
the actual project file inside ) and trying with that. Maybe the iDVD 
will think it is a different movie and start from scratch.

Will doing that cause any corruption of the project file or Media 
folder?

(mistatement: iDVD 3 is on the first iLife disk, not on the Jaguar)
