[X4U] N00b iMovie/iDVD question

[Spoolman Nancy]

Why not put the old G4/400 in target disk mode (first connect a 6-pin  
firewire cable to the new G5 and the old G4.) Reboot the old G4 and  
hold down the "T" key. It will pop up on the G5 desktop like an  
external drive. From there, go to the place where you have all the  
movie files. Simple to do. Then bring the movie into the iLife 05.  
Should work. I had to do that with several  movies of mine. Transfer  
from 04 to 05 iLife.
