[MacDV] Edit iM3 file in iM2

[Thubten Kunga]

Just a guess. Once you make a change to a project in iMovie 3, it 
probably is permanently only going to work in that version. I'm not 
saying I know for sure. I'm just saying that's the way it usually works 
when you move to a new version of almost anything. Sorry that happened 
to you. Next time remember to make a copy of a project before futzing 
with an original. ; ^ )
