WRONG AGAIN! ;^) sRGB is intended for Internet; something to be shown on TV
sets must match the PAL or NTSC colour space...

every cheapo-DVD player will actually play. The disc should be in UDF format
and contain a stange mix of .vob (interleaved MPEG2 video and AC3 audio)
files, up to 1 GiB each.
iMovie may use whatever format it internally uses -- but when "toasting" a
DVD, it should call iDVD in order to generate the proper, universal format.
I don't use neither of them, but the procedure is similar: I edit the DV
streams (in .mov containers) with the Pro version of the QuickTime Player
(I'm registered!). That will take about 15 GiB per hour, but then use Toast
to make the DVD -- not just burning the files on the disk, but first
transcoding the contents, which may take all night long!
I have also made DVDs on PCs, with different software -- Premiere and Nero.
Same procedure, I export the whole (big!) clip in uncompressed .avi, then
Nero transcodes it.
Cheers,
