• 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.

Watching videos on youtube

I am using iMovie to make small movies and want to watch them both on computers and mobile devices. Through trial and error, when I export the movie and pick "large" the file is saved as a .m4v file



However, if I choose an HD version of the movie when I export, the file is saved as a .mov file



When the video then uploads to youtube the .m4v file is able to be viewed "everywhere" when I look under advanced setting and syndication. But for the .mov file, under syndication it reads "No, this video should not be available on mobile phones and TV. "



Can someone give me a suggestion? I want to export the movie as the highest quality possible. If I save it as HD it seems like it automatically saves the file as a .mov and therefore it can't be viewed on mobile phones. I have tried viewing it on a IPAD and that won't work either?



Any suggestions?



Thank you



Steven
