I used imovie to create a project and then imported it to iDVD. I did not know it created a .mov file. I eventualy found it an uploaded it but it does not work on any computer but mine. Well at least a PC it does not work. I have OS 10.3.9 so maybe because it is so old there are unsupported codecs? I need this project to work on a PC as well as a mac. How do I do it? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to our forums!

It's not entirely clear what you are trying to do. It sounds like you are looking at the little reference .mov file that always gets generated by iMovie. You should specifically create an exported .mov file from iMovie for better quality. Then, on the PC, just make sure that Quicktime is installed and it should play fine.
