In a word, no. The resolution of the DVD format is about 1/6 that of your iMac's screen. You cannot blow up an image that much without losing sharpness; the information needed simply isn't stored in the file. The best compromise is to play your material back at 200% of actual size. (This will leave big black bars on all four sides.) You CAN use high-definition in iMovie or Final Cut (if your source material is HD), but you lose the HD when you export to conventional DVD movie format. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
