[MacDV] Quality Stills in imovie look awful and jaggy on the DVD

[Nick Scalise]

Export the movie with expert settings, choosing DV, then import to  
iDVD, and see how that works.

I had the same issue a few years back, and that solved it. (memory is  
fuzzy and I did not find the answer in my email archive, but I know  
Exporting with Expert settings did the trick. Just not sure of the  
format.
