[MacDV] Re: iMovie4

[Jill Arenson]

I just tried to import a file that was ~900 mb (MPEG4) into iDVD4 and 
got an error during import indicating that the file could not be 
imported because it might result in a DV file of greater than 2G.  It 
recommended that I use QT to split the file into smaller sections.
