• 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.

I created a video in iMovie that's about 3 minutes long. I need to export it as a WMV format due to most other people using PCs. But when it exports, it only exports about 30 seconds of the video. Why is this? And how can I get it to export the entire 3 minute video?

Thanks to anyone who has any advice.

I take it you have the free version of Flip4Mac? You'll need to buy the upgrade to more than 30 seconds.

Why not give your friends the movie as a Quicktime file and let them get Quicktime for free from Apple? ;D

I agree with MightyGem. No sense in propagating the mess that is WMV. If they don't have or want Quicktime, recommend VLC. It will play pretty much anything.
