When exporting to iDVD, an iMovie dialog displays
"Your movie contains still, slow motion, and/or reverse clips which  
need to be rendered for this export. This will provide the best  
quality. Would you like to render them now?"
The responses are "Proceed Anyway", "Cancel", "Render and Proceed"

iMovie makes it sound like to get the best quality, you need to click  
the "Render and Proceed" button. But do not do so. Click the "Proceed  
Anyway" button and let iDVD do the rendering.

iMovie will not present this dialog again if you have pressed "Render  
and Proceed".
To be able to have the dialog box presented again, the preference file  
for iMovie must be deleted.
