iDVD converted files? where are they?

[djelite]

OK so i've been burning a few AVI movies to DVD to watch on my tv with iDVD. they come out a little pixelated but i don't mind too much (any recs on this?)

my issue is this: the converted movie takes up a huge amount of space. originally i used the full iDVD program and it left a 3-4gb file which i could delete. i started using the quick burn from movie feature to burn the movies cuz i dont care about the menus and all that ish. however, i can see my HD space going after each burn and i have no idea where these files are, but i know they're somewhere. and it tries to reconvert when i reburn. any suggestions?

Have you tried looking in the obvious places like your Documents and Movies folder? I seem to remember them still getting saved as huge iDVD projects even though you're staying in iMovie.

Does the size of your iMovie project go up after such a burn?

there's no iMovie project, i'm burning straight from avi to dvd in iDVD using the burn one step dvd from movie to avoid all the menus and crap

you could use spotlight to find them then reveal in finder, then delete them or what ever
