Exporting to QuickTime

I am trying to export an iMovie 6 project to iMovie 8 in QuickTime, so I can then import it from QuickTime into iMovie 8.

I followed the instructions in David Pogue's manual "imovie '08..The Missing Manual" but with no results.

I export the movie project from iMovie 6 in QuickTime, however when it appears on the desktop it is in the .mov format, not Quicktime.
So when I try to import it to iMovie '08 the project appears on the desktop, but is dimmed.

I then tried to save the desktop movie (save as) in Quicktime, but the same thing happens.

I did a 'Get Info" on the .mov project on the desktop, and it says it is in QuickTime; however the icon on the desktop is not a Quicktime icon.

What am I doing wrong here?

iMac Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.6.2)
