I think my problem may be due to lack of HD space like Leeanne mentioned. While I said I had a lot of space that's actually on the external HD> I thought I had moved enough to free up plenty on the computer but it is still below 20 GB. I am going to move more and see if that helps.
The symptoms: I get what looks static, black up and down lines instead of the movie. And iMovie sort of freezes. At least if it's not frozen, I don't have the time to wait to see what happens and quit. Let me see after I open up some more space. If iMovie runs on a 450 MHz G$ it should run on mine. My main concern was that the person at Apple said that my machine was just barely fast enough for iLife and suggested I buy a new machine. What else should I have expected!

It isn't very quick, but it eventually gets her there.
