[MacDV] Re: iMovie 4- 2GB limit

[Doug Mitchell]

Perhaps I am missing something.  I did a project under iMovie 3 with my 
Sony TRV 11 in which I recorded 45 min of continuous video.  When I 
went to put that into my computer iMovie handled it without question.  
What did happen was that it broke it up into 2 gb clips.  I can't 
remember if I imported directly to the timeline or onto the shelf.  My 
guess is that I imported to the timeline.
