[X4U] iMovie to iDVD - Proper Video Import Format

[revDAVE]

Currently - I am importing some home movies from VHS using a canopus into
iMovie. I have chosen the import format = DV STREAM ...

- I will import the movie - do some editing - and then export it to iDVD5...

- then I modify the template settings and then save as a disk image...

- basically - it has to render all the video - I am guessing to compress
into DVD format... this takes a long time

* Question: Since my only concern is to create a DVD ONLY - of this content
( and not to ever save the high-quality dv stream) - would it save me any
time to import into iMovie as MPG4 or any other format that is closer to a
DVD quality rather then to import as a DV stream? The rendering time in iDVD
is where I am trying to save time ... and I am guessing that if it was in
the correct format to begin with ... then maybe it would not have to
re-render...?

Any time saving suggestions would be appreciated...
