• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    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.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Brand new Mac user looking for help with iMovie. I've spent a long time learning/teaching myself how to make a movie using the iMovie 09 software but need to change the format of the newly created movie so I can upload it on a website.

Because iMovie automatically saves the projects, I have no idea how to re-format it!

Help!

It depends on where you are uploading it to. If it is for youtube you can click on "Share" on the menu bar and select youtube or any of the other sites that are supported and it will do it automaticly. For other places you still go to share and select export using quicktime and pick your settings and a place to export to. Then upload that file.

If you mean you want to change the aspect ratio of the project, then File-->Project Properties is where you make that change.

If you are talking about an exported version of your movie, then see my iMovie Export guide because it is too long to explain yet again here.
