I finally got an answer, but there are some things I don't know and need in order to view the digitized movie on other devices. Since I was a user of an older version of iMoive, when saving a project, Apple created a folder with all the contents. In iMovie 6HD, Apple discarded the folder to minimize mistakes users were making (having access to all the *parts* apparently caused problems). By right clicking or control-clicking on the file, a fly out menu contains an item called "Show Package". Within that package is a movie file that's readable by QuickTime. So, voila, I make a copy and paste that movie in another folder that contains other movies and I'm good to go. Another question: does anyone have any opinion of having QuickTime Pro? Will it play mpeg2 movie files? I'm also searching for basic, simple, *for dummies* video software that converts or can back up DVD movies and easily viewable on a DVD player (or computer). Thanks, Rob
