I'm assuming you're running a Classic OS?  With 1 GB of RAM, make sure 
to allot iMovie and the Help application TONS of RAM.

Nothing, unless you want to import from other sources or media.

I do them all the time. We just did a promotional DVD for our 
daughter's karate school and it looks slicker than most of the 
commercials I see for local advertisers on cable tee-vee.

Also, do a Sherlock for 3rd- party iMovie tutorials. I found a sight 
about a year ago that had lots of differrent, free, QT movies and step- 
by- steps that made the whole process, like anything else, much more
