- slot imac700 with external DVD
Hoping someone can help me with a problem.
I have a slot loading imac 700 (cd only) with OSX 10.46 and 256 SDRAM together with an external firewire dvd reader/burner. I also have a JVC mini dv camcorder. I previously borrowed a friends imovie5 and upgraded from 4. Imovie 5 was fine and I could export to the camcorder unfortunately I lost Imovie 5 (kids fingers wiped it out) and had to use 4 again and this does not allow me to export to the camcorder. My friend no longer has the imovie 5 disc and I have had to purchase a new copy from ebay.
My problem is that when I insert the iLife 05 disc and try to install imovie 5 only, the box does not allow me to select it and the note at the bottom say that "iMovie HD requires 10.3.6 or higher and a 1 Ghz G4 or faster processor for HDV support." But reading the system requirements for iLife it says that it only requies 256 RAM and a 400 Mhz G3 is needed.
At first I thought that it may have been my screen size and resized it but that did not work.
I would really like to be able to work in iMovie 5 with titleing and export it to my camcorder and since it worked previously, I am at a loss as to what to try next....other than to spend a lot of money and get a G4!!
Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.
