In Mac OS X, a new menu, simply called iMovie, appears between the a menu and the File menu, and two useful commands have moved there: Quit (previously in the File menu) and Preferences (previously in the Edit menu). Otherwise, the instructions in this book generally apply equally well to the Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X versions of iMovie 2. 16 (Typo or formatting problem) The text used to read: Video quality is measured in lines of resolution: the number of tiny horizontal stripes of color the playback uses to þll your TV screen.

It takes about two hours to burn one hour of video in iDVD, a far cry from the 12 or 24 hours required by previous DVD software.
