Ok, I so pissed off at this "software"

Created a .mov of house for parents, so I needed to create a DVD easy enough huh. NO. So far 2 coasters and its still not working

Created an .mov thru Imovie burn to cd try to play on pc, get error saying adjust color 01 missing. WTF THen I look on pb and its has two files tucked in a subfolder adjust color 01 and 02.

Did slide show in 30 seconds on my PC, so far its an hour to just get a 3 min video.

Oh well

what codec did you use to make the .mov? There are a couple of them that will not work on PCs. For instance H.264. It sounds like you're making good DVDs just the format is unreadable on your PeeCee.

Edison, how do we find this out? I just made a movie, exported it as QuickTime movie quality. We copied it to Rah's pc and it wont play, says it doesn't recognize the format. What'd I do wrong?

It also wont make a DVD out of it, we could probably just burn it as a file onto a dvd for storage but we wanted it to play in a dvd player.

Can you help? Thanks!

Maybe the preview release of Quicktime 7 will work and I can actually view it as a file and write it out and make it into a DVD movie Wink

maybe we just have to get a DVD burner for the mac...

Yes, the new version of Quicktime has the proper H.264 codec. Rotten trick of Apple to put out a new codec for a month on Macs before rolling out to PC.

I had the exact same problem with Final Cut, made a movie and none of the PCs can view it. I'm pretty sure the DVD thing is just bacause it can't decode, the DVD format should be okay.

So what did you do to get the iMovie into Divx? I'm still struggling on getting an iMovie that's a decent quality to burn to DVD.

/me doesn't know mac so well, so I stumble throught most things a bit.
