I am trying to copy from a usb flash drive to a DVD. Does that make a difference?
No, but I advise you to first copy the file to your HDD (Desktop or whatever folder you like).
Also, the video is six minutes long. This is my first time attemptiing to copy a vido and make a dvd so I am clueless about codes. I have the IDVD app.
Codecs, not codes. A codec is used to compress the video, many times to make it much, much smaller than the source.
This will be a lengthy process I presume, thus could you please
copy the
.mov file from the USB stick to your Desktop, maybe even create a folder for it and the resulting work.
After the copying process has finished,
open the
.mov file with
QuickTime Player (7.x or X if you have Snow Leopard), see if it plays. If it does, press
CMD+I to open the
Movie Inspector window and make a screen shot and attach the image to your next reply.
