I am trying to open an iMovie file, and it gives me an error saying that Quicktime cannot read it. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks! iMovie 6 btw.

Hmm, you could try ctrl-clicking the project file, select "Show Package Contents", then try opening the backup project file, which ends in ~. Or browse the Media folder, maybe there's a corrupt .dv file?

Not sure - since all the media files appear intact, I guess I'll just put it back together by hand...
