When I opened it with VLC it said, "VLC does not support the audio or video format "LAGS". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this." And it won't work in Quicktime either.
I can't seem to find anyway to play this on my Mac?

Wanted to complete a project in HD. I have a Macbook with OS X 10.4.1 and iLife 08.

I researched and found out that iMovie HD 6 was previously offered as Freeware by Apple, but later taken down when iLife 09 came out.

Does anyone know where I can find a download of iMovie HD 6? I don't have the funds to upgrade at this time, but can't find the right software I need at this time.

Thanks for any and all help. ]]> Movies and Video rocksteadyvybes http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=176642 http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=176621&goto=newpost Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:04:22 GMT Sorry if this has been asked before but I can't seem to find the answer I want.

Only problem is, there appeared to be a very slight delay between the audio and video on the screen. I didn't see this issue explored on the monoprice website. What causes the delay, is there a setting available to remedy this?

I am trying to do the picture in picture effect.
I have enabled advanced tools, and I can do picture in picture so far, but only for clip. (I mean, I can only put a clip in another clip, not to clips in one.)

Essentially, i want to do what this person on youtube did.
(Look at the 1:56 until the end)
YouTube - HappySlip Jingle

If you did look, she had 6 different videos inside one video.
I tried doing that, but iMovie only lets me one in one.
I can not add more than one and have them both go at the same time is one video.
Any Ideas?

I am running iMovie '09 8.0.5

Can you only do what the person in you-tube did on an earlier version of iMovie, say iMovie HD? ]]> Movies and Video Troublew/macs93 http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=176580 http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=176555&goto=newpost Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:57:00 GMT OK so to sort out a recent problem I had with FCP 5 I upgraded to FCP 5.1 and now any of my old projects i try to open I get the message General Error 41.
