    • 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.

iMovie version? Picture type? Does the picture open in Preview or in Safari?

I don't recall a need to install iPhoto to use photos in iMovie. Just use import or try dragging the image in from a folder.

I don't know. The file types look fine. Are they extra large, or small? I'd try exporting them to see what result you get with the exported file.

You didn't mention if the picture cat be open in Preview or in Safari.

Search the net for the precise error you are getting, including any numeric code. You might come up with something.
