[MacDV] iMovie sharing: Losing sound between clips

[Richard Dalziel-Sharpe]

Is your sound in the correct format? Using anything other than 16 bit  
sound with iMovie creates problems with synchronisation. Quote from  
iMovie help files. " for best compatibility you should always use  
48khz 16 bit sound files".
If this is the reason for your problem then you can extract the sound  
track in iMovie and use QuickTime or iTunes to convert it to the  
correct format.
Hope this helps
