I have been going through some old video files created with iMovie and iDVD many years ago. I have a lot of files in m2v format and separate audio files in aif format. I have been trying to find a way to merge the audio and video and export to mp4 (not really fussed what format I export to). Does anyone know how I can do this? A google search brings up a couple of free apps that do it but when I download them they don't recognise the video file.
I have a similar question. I used FCP 7 and DVD Studio Pro on an earlier OS. I'm on 10.12 and am trying to view my .m2v files from DVDSP projects in iMovie 10.1.7.
It reports that the file is not compatible.
I have imported the .ac3 audio to iMovie successfully.
Hey David,
I understand that you are wanting to merge the video and audio from older movies you have made in iMovie. Let's go over some general information to get that worked out.
You should be able to import those files back into iMovie by going through the import process or just by simply dragging the videos on top of iMovie to add them to the library. Take a look at the articles below for more details.

Because the audio is separated, you can add the audio from one of these sources; iTunes, Sound Effects and GarageBand. You might want to add the audio to iTunes and keep track of the names so that way you can easily just drag and drop and the align the audio with the video. Take a look at the next article for more details.

The final thing I want to say is that if these are the library files, they can be upgrade to be used with the newest version of iMovie. Then it would be a matter of recreating the video and sharing it. The last articles will help out with that.
