Hello - and I hope someone out there can help
I've been using iMove for a couple of years since I got my iMac.
I now have an issue and after reading various 'answers' on forums can still not complete a job I'm doing.
The 'film' I have done runs at 1hr 43 mins, I now want to 'share' this with iDVD so I can distribute it.
It starts the process, and after about 2 hours comes up with the message 'cannot perform.....too long' - I have done films longer than this before with no problems. I also have used iDVD many times with no problems and good results.
I then decided to Export the movie via Quicktime. This process took about 12 hours. After it finished the 'film' was nowhere to be seen. Searched iMac and it was no where to be found. I tried again and got the error message '-50'
So I then tried to Export it into an AVI. Again took a fair few hours. The result was terrible. Really bad quality and sound.
So my dilemma is- I have a 1hrs 43min project that I somehow need to get off my iMac so I can burn to a DVD or even Blu-Ray with an external drive.
I am supposed to be 'showing' the film to a group of people at the end of the month and too be honest don't really want to take my iMac out on the road, plug it into a projector and show it.
Is there anything else I can try.
many thanks in advance.
