iMovie 720p possible?

[Tribal Guy]

I am looking at reducing 720p movies to fit on a single sided dvd with the max bitrate possible. I realize that the bitrate will vary based on length of the movie. I am trying to have each finished dvd be as close to the max size of the disc as possible.

Will imovie allow this, or should I look at a different solution. I know that toast works with quantization, not something I am really familar with, but just trying to find something that will work. Time to burn is not an issue for what I am doing.

Thanks in advance...

Moving you to our mac section.

Do you want a standard dvd-video? Or just one big data video file on the dvd?

standard dvd player..... so it would be the standard video and audio folders, with VOB files in the video.....

Yes, so it would also NOT be 720p anymore, as standard DVD-video only supports SD resolutions (480NTSC/576PAL, p or i).

If you have iMovie, you should also have iDVD. Use that, or Toast. Both should work.

Set top BD players also play SD DVD-Video discs.
