[MacDV] Problem exporting to tape--iMovie4

[John Collins]

RB-- thanks  -- I think speed is the issue but it doesn't make sense 
when my slower Pismo (G4/550) doesn't have a problem.

I am running iMovie4 on the startup drive(150g) with about 30G open and 
it has never been more than this full. The project folder is on a 33G 
partition of a larger internal drive (Maxtor and I think totals about 
200). The only thing on it is this 16 G file. I set it up for temporary 
working storage of my current project. Maybe I should move the movie 
folder to a different drive.
  I have had several suggestions which I will try tomorrow and report 
back.
