My iDVD can't "see" certain MOV files
Hi,
Using Final Cut Pro X, I export a film in standard Quicktime MOV format, shot on a Canon EOS 550D in 1080i HD.
FCPX is happy, my Mac is happy, Quicktime is happy, and for the most part, iDVD is happy - it picks up the files and runs with them.
But sometimes I produce an MOV file, and it's as though iDVD can't see it - it isn't there. I can play it in Quicktime, I can move it around, but iDVD just doesn't acknowledge its existence.
I've recently produced 4 films and iDVD could see 2 but not the other two. It only sees them if I import them into iMovie, and then re-export them, but that sometimes corrupts elements of the film.
The two films it could see (less than 2 Gb) were smaller than the other 2 (over 3 Gb), but i have also created a DVD where the main film was over 13 Gb, and iDVD could see it without blinking. So I don't think it could be a size limit issue.
I am running iDVD 7.1.2 (1158) on an iMac which is running OS 10.6.8, with 4GB RAM.
Does anyone have any ideas???
Thanks
