disheartened

I just need to vent. I made a trip up to campus early specifically to work on my iMovie. I, like most of you, am rather unfamiliar with how to work with iMovie so I figured spending some extra time would allow me the chance to become comfortable with how to edit my footage. Well, the dvd that I burned my project onto in class on Tuesday cannot be opened on the computer. Apparently, something similar happened to Dawn as well. I cannot re-shoot any of what I did, since my camera is due back to the library today. How am I going to be able to edit it?

Why do you need to re-shoot? Isn't the footage you uploaded into iMovie still saved on the computer in the Mac lab? It should be.

There are two kinds of DVDs: DVD+R and DVD-R. If you have a DVD+R disc, you can't play it on a DVD- drive. Likewise, you can't play DVD- discs on a DVD+ drive.

There are some DVD +/- drives. The Mac minis in our lab are of this variety so they play both +R and -R discs.

That could be the issue.

J-

frustrating! I'm half way pleased since my project is also encountering similarly inane hold ups. It's alls so easy until you actually try to do it!
