I'm trying to export an AVI using no compression, 29.97 fps, millions of colors+, and best quality for video. Uncompressed, 48 kHz, 16 bit, mono for sound. But when it finishes exporting and I try to play it in QT, just a small player that looks like the music player comes up and I can't play anything, I click play and the play symbol turns into the pause symbol as if it were playing normally, but there is no time, no cursor, and not even a video window. When I tried playing it in VLC it said the file needed to be fixed, so it fixed it for me, but then everything in the video was blue.

I tried exporting using just millions of colors(not +) and it works, but I like would to have the best quality I possibly can. Is this a problem with my computer or a problem with iMovie? Thanks.

EDIT: Just realized that when I exported it the second time with millions of colors(not +), it only exported 54 seconds out of the 3 minute 29 second clip :confused::mad:

EDIT2: Exported it at thousands of colors and it plays fine, but I'm looking for as little quality loss as possible.
