No trouble with iMovie to iDVD process, or the burn. The burns took about 2 hours if I didn't use motion menus, 3 hours if I did. Some of the iDVD themes use "Drop Zones," into which you can insert pictures or movies – that's what probably took the most time (my wife and I deciding what to put in there!). Other than that, iMovie and iDVD really make the job more fun and certainly more tolerable. We use TDK DVD-R and haven't had 1 problem yet. Once you burn a DVD- R, you're done. You can add to a DVD-RW (The "W" is for multiple Writes), but at the time I purchased the DVDs, DVD-R was the only format iDVD would burn to. That has changed, but I'd still get DVD- R's for maximum compatibility. I think I got them at Costco (two spools of 100 each for about $50).
