Quicktime pro installation

Question

All I really want to do is import a QT film from final cut pro to imovie so I can burn a DVD. Imovie informs me that the project is too long to import (6minutes????) and that I have to go to quicktime pro to do something that will (compress it???) or allow me to divide it into separate pieces that I can marry later. I just want to burn a little 6 minute project. I bought quicktime pro and received the key code but it says invalid registration. When I ask for help I get sent to this site. Soo helpers...any way I can burn a DVD of this little film? Usually I go to imovie and then import the project in idvd.

Answer 1

In what format are you exporting the movie from FCP? DV sees to work the best for most situations; don't export as MPEG-2 as neither iMovie nor iDVD can import MPEG-2.
And there should be no need to import into iMovie to get the movie into iDVD. You should be able to add the movie directly into iDVD; going through iMovie just adds an unnecessary step.
As to your QT Pro registration issue, make sure you're entering in both the user name and key code exactly as in the email Apple sent you. Any error in either, including leaving off a salutation (for instance, if the email says "Mr. John Smith") will cause the registration to error.
Hope this helps.
BTW, for future questions, try posting in the QuickTime for Mac area. You'll be more likely to get a quick and accurate answer there than you will here in the QuickTime for Windows forum.
