[X4U] Re:DVD copying

[Dan A Currie]

Nick,

It worked ... but I had to wait until I had set up everything in Toast 
and THEN load the blank DVD.  It would not work if I loaded it early.

Now ... I am finally getting around to making a movie out of our trip to 
Chicago and would like to know how to do that using iMovie / iDVD in the 
simplest terms.

I have already loaded the video and edited it using imovie but when I 
ask it to Create iDVD  Project, I get the following message-

"Burning this movie to DVD will require approximately 4.16 GB of disk 
space, which is less than you have right now. If you proceed, the burn 
in iDVD may fail. Either save the iDVD project to another disk, or free 
some space first."

I can not find where to tell it to use another HD with 40 GB of space 
available.

I went to preferences but nothing there.

Help ... again!!

Dan
