[MacDV] Why won't iMovie export?

[Gordon Alley]

Is it creating a file at the destination? It sounds like you might be saving 
a Quicktime "reference" movie (which is very short, consisting of only 
"pointers" to the original media) instead of a "self-contained" Quicktime 
movie. Check your options to make sure you are saving a self-contained 
movie.

Note that I've never tried saving from iMovie to a Quicktime file, so I'm 
only guessing here.
