Exporting in 1080i from iMovie 08

[kekule]

I'm importing my movie in 1080i (from an HDC-SD1), but iMovie 08 doesn't let me export to iTunes in the same resolution. Largest offered is 960x540. Any suggestions?

I don't know what your ultimate goal for your project is, but I know that you can export to Quicktime at HD resolutions. Does that help at all?

I'll try that. I just want to preserve the original resolution in which the movie was shot. It seems odd that 720p or 1080i is not an option for exporting to itunes/atv considering they both support it. Why is this?
