Hi All,
I have an Imac that is running Snow Leopard and Imovie 11. For years I have been trying to figure out how to get HD 1080 movies to DVD with decent picture quality. I have exported many Imovie projects to IDVD via "Media Browser" Now recently, when I export to media browser it does not show my project. If I decide to take plan B and export directly to IDVD it burns a DVD that has poor quality and also spots without audio. I have given up. I was thinking of maybe just exporting the HD project and playing through Apple TV but even that confuses me because in order to play on Apple tv you have to reduce the quality. My goal is to preserve my Imovie home movie projects in HD and have them accessible to play on my TV whenever I want. I can't burn to blu ray but I still want to keep all projects so that in the future maybe I can burn to Blu Ray. At this point, I just want to be able to watch my HD home movies once edited and chapter marked! That is one of the main reasons I bought an apple imac. Now I feel like the whole thing is a headache. Can anyone give me some options? My kids want to see their home movies. Also, I don't want two copies on my computer. I know I could export one copy to itunes and then store another full HD copy on my hard drive but that is too much. I just wanna play my movies on my tv after they have been edited and cool themes and transitions added in IMovie. Thanks!
