    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

Hello all. My first post on the forum!

I have just upgraded my Macbook and it has come with iMovies 10.0.7. I have imported a large AVCHD file of about 75GB from my camcorder. When I imported video before into my five year old version of iMovies of it would appear as a much large file - that 75GB for example would be about 250GB. I want to preserve the best quality possible. Is there a way to change the quality of the import or does the new version of iMovies have some compression thing going on?

Many thanks.

Voodoo

No it isn't, as far as I know. It would be in iMovie Preferences, or the Project Properties if it was.
