I've tried different options/codecs but I just get a black movie with no
sound.
(iMovie 2.0.1, OS 9.1, QT 5.0.2, iMac DV 400)
What kinds of settings combinations you've used?
Ed wrote me:
"Using iMovie (2.0.1) and choosing 'Export Movie - Quicktime - Full Quality,
Large' I get a Quicktime movie the same size as the original iMovie file but
with unacceptable (read - useless) quality. I would like the convenience of
the QT format - how can I have that and the quality of the original?"
(OS 9.2, QT 5, iMac DV450)
Are we missing something?
I think I know what Ed's "problem" is. If I remember correctly,
"QuickTime-Full Quality" in iMovie means a DV compressed video. If
it looks bad on QT Player it might be because often times the player
shows a low res version of the DV movie so it can keep up with the
data rate. This does not mean the movie is bad. If you transcode it
or dump it to tape, the full quality should be there. To check if
that's the case, try enabling "High Quality" in the Movie Properties
Window. Mind you that this will require way more CPU so your iMac
400 may chug at that point. Therefore QT showing a "bad" quality
version by default.
Having said all this, I'm sure Ed's "problem" does not relate to Robert's.
