[MacDV] Re: forcing iMovie to display the dialog ["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?] again

[Martin Modrzejewski]

The best quality copy you can make is still to export out of iMovie  
back to a blank tape in your camcorder. A DVD, while acceptable, will  
loose quality due to compression. That's only important if you have  
any intention of ever re-editing the footage in the future
