Ok i am still very new to mac i am useing FCE to edit our hunting and fishing videos. I like the IDVD menues and would like to use them. Problem is when i edit in FCE and then move to Imovie and then to IDVD the quality is horible. could someone give me step by step help.

I'm new to FCE, too, but 'old' ti iMovie. My question would be why bring iMovie into the workflow at all? I intend to try going to a QT Movie and then import that into iDVD.

Like Rick said, I am not clear why you move from FCE into iMovie, before going into iDVD. iMovie is not exactly nice to interlaced video, so I would skip that step. Output from FCE using "QuickTime Movie" export, to some desirable location. This will generate one "sequence".mov file per sequence. Then get into iDVD, select menu type and use the "sequence".mov files to generate your DVD. I have never had a quality issue using this flow (unless of course the footage had quality problems to begin with).

I'll try again but I thaught that it would not let me choose the file?

OK when i am in idvd and try to import movie it only shows me Imovie movies.
Any ideas i have exported the movie but have no option to get it to idvd?

Just open your disc directory (separate window), find the proper "sequence".mov file(s) and drag it (them) onto the iDVD main pane. It should show there as selectable item. You can then preview the disc.
