I have a 2 hour 45 min iMovie (from a great holiday). My problem now is I don't know how to save it on to a DVD to watch it on TV etc. The iMovie file is around 34 gig and obviously will not fit on a 4,7 gig disc since the compression used to make it a tv viewable format is not that big. What I would like to know is will it fit on 2 dvds when iMovie has compressed it for TV, At the moment I only get a message saying that as one file it won't fit, it does say how many parts I need to split it into. How many minutes of iMovie can you put on a tv watchable DVD?

Help!

With iDVD 4 you can put up to 120min on a disc. (60min at best quality). In your case you should get decent result with 90min on each disk.
