Rod,..it should work (I'm pretty sure). Just make sure you're using iMovie 5.0.1 and not 5.0.2. It involves a bit of mucking around, deleting it, reinstalling it and then just not updating it all the way. I did it for another client whose machine used to do it, then when they went updated iMovie it wouldn't. So I deleted iMovie, reinstalled it from the iLife DVD and updated it to 5.0.1. And it worked again! :o) They could then use it as a bridge! :o) Hope that helps!
