iMovie is brilliant, apart from one thing: the quality of the final rendered movie.

Titles look like they have been rendered with maximum JPEG compression. Embedded images, which look fine everywhere else, become barely discernable.

2 questions:

1. Is there a setting I haven't seen on iMovie that I can correct this with?

And, perhaps more importantly:

2. What vid editing package would you guys recommend? I want a good, pro or semi-pro package.

I am put off Final Cut Pro 5 because I'm afraid it won't work on my G4 (OSX10.2.8). I would be tempted if I could find a copy of FCP 3, but I am keen to explore other options.
