IMovie Share to iDVD

Question

I was trying to export an iMovie 6 file out of a laptop to another computer with burn drive--- I had problems. I finally got it to work, but I am trying to figure out how and why....
On an OS 10.3.9 machine, using iMovie 6, I did Share>Quicktime, Full Quality , and then tried to bring it into iDVD6 on a OS 10.5 computer. The newer machine wouldn't recognize the .mov file. Was it because the QuickTime on OS 10.3 computer hadn't been updated??? Or was it something else???
What ending up working as an import .dv file and not a .mov file. I am not sure how I got the .dv or why it worked in the end.
Thanks for your help!!!

I think I may have misunderstood your original reply - you were telling me to do the editing within Imovie and then just drop it into Idvd from the finder, & I thought initially that it was just to do the work within Idvd alone. The drop process does indeed retain the chapter marks, and I tried it, but the image quality (even when dropped) is so degraded once the work is back in Idvd that it's still not acceptable.
I haven't yet tried the export-full quality-qt.mov but I'll try that next, although I read in the Imovie help manual:
"IMPORTANT: When you share your iMovie project as a QuickTime movie using the Full Quality option, iMovie HD doesn't include chapter markers in the QuickTime movie."
Thanks for your responses.
