computer based DVD from iMovie

[rotuts]

Hello
is it possible to take an iMove project <2hr and turn it into a DVD that just sits on my computer? ie has a name, a video_TS and Audio_ts folder rather than burn it to a physical DVD-r?

thanks rotut

Just use Idvd- don't burn it to disk, but save the project -

as far as I can tell with my iDVD, it asks for a disc before it does anything.

I guess I could get a dvd-RW and put it there and then back on the HD? but I think that my iDVD does not burn to RW's, or maybe the ones I have are the cheapest made?

thanks rotut

I'm pretty sure you can have it encoding in the background while you work, so by the time you are ready to burn, it would be ready... except you don't burn and save the project. Should work ok, or you could actually make it in DVDSP, but it didn't sound like you had that- Then you can just simply save the Video_TS and... you know the rest
