Christmas editing

This weekend I put together a DVD of bunch of my family's home movies of Christmas (14 holiday seasons!). My parents and I always watch them every year, and now we'll finally be able to see them on DVD. These were originally old Regular-8 and Super-8 films, which Dad had transfered to VHS, then I transfered them to MiniDV, and finally into iMovie. It was fun editing them all together, but it wasn't as smooth as I expected. I did a little digital clean-up (which was semi-successful) and then added enough music to cover the full 1:45 hours, and finally started up iDVD. Later I found out (from reading Apple's support discussions) that iDVD takes forever to encode the audio for so much music - it took over 12 hours to process! I'm just glad it's finished, and I'm looking forward to watching it with Mom & Dad!
