iMovie 9.08 cannot finalize a project composed from an event imported directly from mini-dv camera

iMovie 9.08 cannot finalize a project composed from an event imported directly from mini-dv camera. Computer MacbookPro Core2Duo 2,66 (End 2008). When working with other types of projects, the program writes "Preparing a large movie". then "Preparing a medium movie". With this kind (made from an event imported directly from mini-dv camera) the program writes "Preparing a 720p movie" and then, after about 3 hours, writes "Cannot finalize projet (error -49). Who knows, what happens and to find a solution?

iMovie '11, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Rather than Finalize, I suggest you try SHARE/TO MEDIA BROWSER. Share in Medium and Large (but not 720P or 1080P)

You can also use any other of the Share Menu options. Just try not to go larger than Large.


(This suggestion is for Standard Definition DV. If you have HDV, then the HD sizes should work.)
