I have finished a home movie DVD that I may want to burn again in the future. Do I need to keep all of the original quicktime movies that I dragged to the iDVD2 window? Or, since the movies are all ready encoded, can I just keep the xxx.dvdproj file (around 4GB) and I will be all set?

Thanks.

If you don't want to change anything, but just want to make copies of the original DVD , you only need to keep a copy of the DVD. You can easily make copies of your DVD using the included Disk copy application. However, if you want to make any future changes in your quicktime file, you will need them.

Only save the quicktime and project files if you later wish to modify or edit the project (liek add menus, folders, music, or scenes).

Otherwise, you can just copy the DVD as said above.

P.S. Believe it or not, I didn't grow up here, but moved here after I graduated from college. Go figure. And I still haven't joined a bowling league!!!!
