iMovie import Limits (time/size)

[Matti Haveri]

You can split >2 GB DV files to smaller chunks iMovie can import with 
AppleScript:

This script performs this function in a frame-accurate fashion. It 
will generate a series of DV streams from a single Quicktime source. 
It is very limited in it's function. It only exports DV streams, and 
the length of the DV stream is set in the script. At the time of this 
writing, the length was set to 3 minutes (about 620MB) to enable 
storage of the streams on standard CD recordable disks. It takes 
virtually no effort to change the export size to better suit your 
purposes, although you'll have to edit the script.
