My daughter is using a few old iMac G3 slot-loaders for a kiosk-style informational video for her robotics team's upcoming competition. She has put together a video in iMovie, but we can't seem to find the "right" settings to get the video to playback smoothly in Quicktime (these are 400-500MHz, 768MB-1GB Ram, running 10.4). She's tried exporting the video to a Quicktime movie using various settings, but nothing has worked so far - the audio is always great, but the video just can't keep up. Would anyone happen to know what format the video would need to be for this to work well?
The solution she has come up with is to create a DVD with iDVD, move the TS_Video folder to the hard drive, and then run the video using DVD player. Unfortunately, this only works on the iMac's that have an internal DVD drive. The ones that are CD only refuse to let the DVD player app start up. Is there a work around for that? I would love to put a few kids movies on one of these old boxes as a video "babysitter" while my wife and I steal a few moments together away from my youngest.
