Share to media browser option and mobile me

I am trying to share a movie I made. I chose the "Share to media browser" option because it seemed like it would give me the most options for sharing my movie (since it looked like choosing to share the movie in large format would allow me to share it via Apple TV, via my computer and via MobileMe).
I don't understand what this share option is for. I finally found the raw file and manually copied it into my iTunes so I can watch it on my Apple TV. I have no idea how this method allows me to share it to Mobile Me. I've since tried selecting the "Publish to Mobile Me gallery" option, but now the option to share in the large size is greyed out, presumably because I've already shared it as a large file.
So basically I have no idea what the purpose is of the "Share to media browser". All I want to do is be able to watch the movie on my Apple TV and to be able to send it to my sister so she can download it and have it for as long as she wants (or she can just watch it once online if she's not interested in keeping it). So first off, how can I share it to Mobile Me as a large video now that I've already chosen the "Share to media browser" option. Second, in hindsight what should I have done instead? I wanted to avoid multiple exports since it took a really long time to export this.
Assuming I can get this video to my sis and keep my version I've got in iTunes now, I don't need to do anything with it in iMovie ever again. Can I just delete the iMovie project in addition to the raw footage?

Hmmm...
The Large is enabled if I Share to iTunes, but if I try Media Browser, Large is grayed out. This is with many projects I choose (including a slideshow I just made), but some DO offer Large with Media Browser. Do you know the secret formula here?
I tried direct to iDVD (captured at 960x540) but the result was lousy. So I thought I'd give Media Browser a try based on other posts...

I'm trying to share to Media Browser a 20 minute still slide show with music and text. I have tried several times to save at 1080 HD, but just before it's finished, a message box pops up saying "File already open with write permission." What's this mean?

I'm trying to finalize/share to Media Browser a 20 minute still slide show with music and text. I'd like to finalize it 1080 hd and have tried several times, but just before it's finished, a message box pops up saying it can't be done because "File already open with with write permission." What does this mean? All files are closed; this iMovie project is the only thing open. Does it mean one of the song files from iTunes? And should I just settle for saving it as a "large" file, which is what I'm trying right now?
Thanks,
Jamie

How do I export my iMovie '11 video and burn it to a DVD? I've tried 'Share' - 'Media Browser', 'iDVD', and 'Export Movie' but always get an error message indicating that my movie is too long to publish. Thoughts?

How do I export my iMovie '11 video and burn it to a DVD? I've tried 'Share' - 'Media Browser', 'iDVD', and 'Export Movie' but always get an error message indicating that my movie is too long to publish. Thoughts? Additionally, what does 'File' 'Finalize Project' do?

Instead of Share to Media Browser, what happens if you try Share Menu > Export Movie... (choose Large size) and save it to the Desktop?
If that fails try Share Menu > Export using QuickTime...
Then pick Movie to QuickTime Movie, then click on Options... which is just to the right of Export
Under the Video section click on Settings...
Then in the pulldown menu at the top, titled Compression Type: Choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Then click OK. And click OK again, and save it to the desktop. Once the .mov file is created, you can import that into iDVD and most likely it will work in Wondershare Creator if you prefer to use that instead.

IMovie less than an hour. share to iDVD failed. read to share to media browser. worked for one movie. tried on different one and iDVD hung up and had to use force quit to get out of it. tried several times -- same result. suggestions?

iMovie less than an hour in length. share to iDVD failed. read in support to share to media browser. then made DVD through iDVD. worked for one movie. tried on different one and iDVD hung up and had to use force quit to get out of it. tried several times -- same result. suggestions?

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

Why does iMovie quit constantly when I try to Share with Media Browser? I want to burn this movie!

iMovie quits ALL THE TIME when I try to Share with Media Browser in order to burn the DVD. Why? What can I do? Is it becasue I bought a refurbished Mac? I burned a DVD from another project only a month ago.

I don't know why it happens, but if you read messages around the iMovie Discussion Group it seems to happen to a lot of people. The easiest way around this is to Share to Media Browser instead of Share to iDVD directly. The Media Browser is a 'holding area' for video you want to use in other iLife Apps (including GarageBand and iDVD). When you Share to Media Browser, choose the Large size. Then let it run until it finishes. Quit iMovie.
Open iDVD. Create a New Project, Select a Theme. Then click on the Media Button. Click on the Movies button below the Media Browser. Your project will now appear under the iMovie star icon just drag that project into the iDVD project window. This should bypass the problem you were having by sharing Directly to iDVD.

Share to Media Browser or Share to IDVD

I did two short projects one sharing to Media Brower and burning to IDVD using IMovie9 (As per the previous method in IMovie8)
The same project using the "new" share to IDVD and then burning in IDVD.
The share to Media Browser resulting DVD was up to par with the previous quality of IMovie8 which I found very acceptable given the limitations of the DVD format.
The "new" share to IDVD resulted in a DVD with lots of interlacing wavy lines.
Why is this?? Am I missing anything or steps with the Share to IDVD method?
I had no manipulation, chapter markers or anything, Just a simple project captured on tape using Canon HV-20, imported to IMovie9 using the Large 960x540 size.
I use a Panny upconverting DVD player to play the discs unto an HD TV via HDMI.
What good is the "new" Share to IDVD?????
The same project exported using QT Pro using H264 in 1280x720 results in superb results, when viewed on the Cinema display thru the computer, and very good results if I use the resulting Mov. file and burn it using IDVD or Toast.
I am really confused, any help will be appreciated
Thanks
Apple Lou.

Using 'Share with Media Browser' gives all movies the same name

I'm having a huge problem exporting in iMovie as it relates to iWeb. Every movie I 'Share with Media Browser' is named after the size I choose instead of the name of the project. So one project named 'Sunday' will be exported as "medium.m4v", then a different movie called 'Baseball' will be exported as "medium.m4v" but in a different folder.
The problem is, when I try to use them in iWeb, all of the pages reference the movie named "medium.m4v", but they upload the movies and rename them "medium.m4v", "medium-1.m4v", "medium-2.m4v" and so on, but all of the pages display the first "medium.m4v" video.
I went to "Reveal In Finder" in iWeb and I can see the movie, but if I rename it, it disappears out of the Media Browser in both iMovie and iWeb. I can then import it by dragging it in from the Finder, but then I lose having iMovie know it's there for freeing up space later. For something that is supposed to be simple, this is certainly not. Is there a way to initially override the name of the movie from within iMovie?

Well yes, that was how I was doing it with th previous version of iMovie. But this is Apple!! Putting these movies in iWeb has to be one of the primary functions that this "Media Browser" was created for, how can it be completely broken?

I am trying to update the new settings on my iphone 4s but every time I plug in to update it tells me i need to change my media sync options and I'm unsure how to do this? Can anyone help? thanking you :)

Error -50 when trying to share with media browser?

I'm attempting to burn a dvd in idvd for the first time. When I click media browser under share in imovie 08, I'm fist told that there's missing media. A source clip is not available. Although I hear it (audio) in both the project and in the source material in the event library. I clicked continue and things started to move along then this warning came up UNABLE TO PREPARE PROJECT FOR PUBLISHING ERROR CODE-50.
Please help.

I'm using native.
I did cancel all background rendering and exporting before I deleted the renders. I actually quit final cut before I did that, then restarted.
I found that the crash was probably the result of a motion plug-in that I was using, but the speed of exporting is still way below what it was last week. I would still like to utilize that motion plug-in :/

Css problem in media for ipod and mobile

I have a problem applying code for a menu on a webpage.
I have posted the site example on www.tdrd.karoo.net
and the complete zip at www.tdrd.karoo.net/index.zip
I have applied the effect fine for the Full screen model media section of responsive.css but when I try to tailor the menu for the smaller resolutions it is only adjusting it for the full screen version.
I have applied the middle resolution in the example uploaded but for some reason it is not applying it to the model.
Please can anyone shed light as why this could be - the clue has to be somewhere in the nav section of the css....
Thank you
Terry

Imovie crashing when I try to share to media browser or idvd. Help?

Every time I try to share my iMovie 9 project to the media browser or iDVD or export using Quicktime, the movie seems to load whether it takes 45 minutes or 14 minutes when at the end of the time it shuts down and doesn't complete the job on my 27" iMac.

What do you mean by "trashing iMovie pref files"? What are pref files?
• Delete iMovie pref. file
iMovie pref. file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. (one or more of these)
com.apple.iMovie.plist
com.apple.iMovie3.plist
com.apple.iMovie7.plist
com.apple.iMovie8.plist
com.apple.iMovie9.plist
and find
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
AFTER - Panic halts - or Force HALT - when Mac hangs and needs to be Stopped and re-Started
• When having to do this - it also introduces small errors on hard disk that can add up to major problems.
That Why one has to run
• Repair Permissions - Disk Util too
• Repair Hard disk - Disk Util tool (but to do this You must start from DVD or external hard disk - can't do brain surgery on one self)

Hmmm...

I have Enable 3G option and Mobile Data

Just curious as to how I have Enable 3G and Mobile Data options in the network settings. I have various friends with Iphone 4/4S but they only have Mobile Data/Celluar Data only. I can enable Mobile Data only which gives me extended.
Just curious as to why iPhones can be different.
These are UK based iPhones.

There is no memory card in the iPhone.

Why is Share to media browser grayed out?

can't figure out why this option is grayed out. Anyone have any insight?

i migrated and i just spoke to apple who asked the same question and they told me to try and reinstall as the programs were not talking to eachother...im going to try this when i get home

Share to Media Browser.

Have imported movie from camera and it appears in event library.Cannot drag it to "Create a new project". If I highlight it and open share it is greyed out. Help says select movie in project library and share but it is not in project library, What am I doing wrong please?
Can drag thumbnails to 'Create a new project' but that is a tedious way round.

Have imported movie from camera and it appears in event library.Cannot drag it to "Create a new project".
Check the compression formats for the audio and video as found in the clip imported to the particular "Events" folder. This should let us determine if that is the source of your problem. (Or you can post a "snippet" for examination by others.)
