[MacDV] re: iMovie audio questions

[sb]

In order for a regular audio cd player to recognize the disc and play it, it has to be set to aiff and 44.1khz.

You're not going to be able to make a 2.5 hour file fit on a 63 minute CD.

That's why MP3 was invented :)

 Are you sure the CD player doesn't recognize MP3 format?
