    What is the best way to export a sequence to i-DVD? For a quick (but reliable) Client burn? I’ve tried the Quick Time Movie (but the analog video pixelates on dissolves). I’ve tried the Quick Time Compression anywhere from Medium to High, and at 29.97 (to improve the quality) but its not great either. I’ve reviewed the book (Manuals), a DMTS Inside Editing DVD, and still not sure what’s best to take to i-dvd. I’m not authoring a major DVD so Studio Pro 3 is not applicable. The piece is 13:15 in length. Thanks in advance to all who respond.

    Just Export a Non-Self contained movie from your timeline using the “Current Settings” so there is no added compression from your timeline. No need to make a self-contained movie.

    Then in iDVD use the High Quality video settings (I believe default is lower quality).
