Hello. I have a 24inch 2 gig iMac on Tiger with iLife 06. I've recently filmed approx 2hrs of footage of a wedding on dv format. What's my best method of editing and then hosting good quality footage on say YouTube. I'm a little concerned as a 5 min part of the speech took 1gig of data on best quality and YouTube claimed it would take me 10 hrs to upload. Are there better ways?
Got a tip for us?

DV encoded video takes up to 12GB/h, which is fine for editing.
But in order for uploading it to YouTube you have to convert it to an.mp4 or .mov with the .h264 codec, but I don't know if it can be done via iMovie 06.
You can just export your edited video from iMovie and then re-encode it to a .h264 encoded video via MPEG Streamclip.
