Using iMovie5 to convert video for viewing on 6670

1 replies · 1,995 views · Started 18 August 2005

Hey everyone,

For the longest time I wanted to find Mac software which would allow me to convert videos into a format I could use to view the videos on my cell phone (Nokia 6670). I just discovered that you can use the "share" function in iMovie 5 to do so, and it even has a preset option to convert it for viewing on mobile phones (3gp format). I did the file convert. I opened it up on my Mac using Quicktime and it played fine. Then put in on my phone but it can't open the file. Realplayer opens and then an error message pops up saying "Unable to play media clip".

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions?
