  I need give a video to a friend of mine to finish editing. I use the newer version of imovie. Since he doesn’t want to upgrade to the newer version of imovie, I was going to make convert the footage to .mov and then give it to him. The question is, will I lose resolution in converting it to .mov and then have him editing it in that format? He is going to make the DVD from there.

  I don’t know if I agree with Johnboy.
  
  I use FCP. If I output as NTSC/DV, it exports in the same quality as it was inputed.
  
  So it all depends on what setting it is on when it is exported.

  I had gone into “Options” and set if for “Best.” I will look to see if there was anything listed as NTSC/DV.
