[MacDV] Re: imovie 3 and VCD

[Thubten Kunga]

Yes I thought of you Gordon when it first happened. I remember your 
date problem. I have the right updater. Did you just rerun it on top of 
the old install or start over. I have a 5.1.4 OS X version on CD-ROM.

But I also have a working install on another Mac here. Do you know if I 
can just replace the bad export folder? Anybody?
