The original iDVD had a limit of an hour. iDVD2 has a 90 minute limit. Both of these are due to the compression methods iDVD uses to generate the MPEG2 files. Other programs like DVD Studio Pro and Media Cleaner Pro will allow you to get two hours onto a DVD, but the compression takes a long time and the programs are a lot more expensive. --- Lee Larson, Mathematics Department, University of Louisville Phone: 502.852.6826 FAX: 502.852.7132 The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will be May 28.
