I’ve added a screen shot.

This is what you’re doing? This would create a self contained QuickTime

I’m unclear on what is not working – please be patient with me – I’m just trying to help.

So, what does happen when you do this? Does it create a file? No file?

It creates a file that looks like “titleoffile.mov” and then it creates 2-3 files that say “titleoffile-avi.mov” or something like that…I’m no longer by a mac so I can’t tell you for sure right now.

Anna,

If it’s creating more than one file, you’re creating a reference movie. You have to have the checkbox “Make self contained” selected.

How is the drive formatted? Is it Mac OS Extended?

All the best,

Hello,
the drive format is MS-DOS (FAT32).

[Tom Wolsky]

DOS has a file size limit. That’s why it’s being broken into segments. The drive should be erased and reformatted as Mac OS Extended.

All the best,

Thank you so much!! I’ve been going crazy with this for months.
