Well after some searching around I would like to know from all those that do this on a daily basis, how long would a 5-10 minute video take using the Canon HV20 (compaired to my JVC miniDV) in iDVD? Of course after the importing to iMovie>iDVD and setting up a title intro. as this is dependent on how fast I work obviously.
I ask because some have said double the time it takes to import the video source. Also HD video has to go through more steps or a longer encoding process (the way it was put to me) than just plain miniDV.
This is for a document based video, nothing more or less and won't be used on anything more than say a 40-55" screen (I hope).
Also I will be doing this on my iMac Intel CD, 2GB RAM for now.

Thanks for the help/input :)

Found what I needed in another forum ;)
