Thanks John. I did try that without any luck. I had saved the file to
my desktop, opened Handbrake and Handbrake would not recognize the file. I
tried it in .avi, .dv and .mov format. I played with the file in every way I
could think of with no luck. BUT I think I found the answer at least one
way to skin the cat.
I reopened the original file in iMovie and there is an option to save
the file in iPod format (see the Share menu). That saved the file an it
works like a champ.
That¹s fine but what if I do not have the original movie file? If
someone sends me a QT file, what do I do? I don¹t have an answer for this
one.
