If I were in your situation, I would Export Movie (project) to .avi, then once I check to see that the .avi is working properly and it's the way I want it... I would delete all the clips (your 50 minutes of footage) and start a new project using the .avi file you just made.
I'm surprised you have that much footage! When I film Kitkast, I end up with about 50 minutes of footage as well, but my show is 10 minutes long! I sure hope you're not recording in between takes...
