A little background, I'm using iMovie to import directly from a DV camera so that I can:

a) capture the video
b) and do simply editing

I'm going to use a program such as Sorenson Squeeze to compress my captured video, but I had a quick question.

I've been trying to find the quickest format to export out of iMovie. Every format I've tried takes forever since it tries to encode it, even when exporting it as DV. What format does iMovie "store" data in? And can I quickly export it as that? There is no point in having iMovie encode anything, so I'll just be having Squeeze reencode it.
