[MacDV] Compressing in iMovie '05 (or Toast or iDVD?)

[Gregg Gorrie]

Exporting from Final Cut Pro using the Quicktime conversion option and
selecting "MPEG-2", you can adjust your bit rate and it will show you the
resultant file size. I seem to recall that the Quicktime MPEG-2 encoder got
installed with DVD Studio Pro, but there may be an option to purchase it
separately or it may be installed with other apps?
