Harry, Good ideas, I'll keep checking. Possibly an 8 meg movie that isn't purchased from the iTunes store is too large????? Making Chapters inside iMovie might do it but I don't know that a clip that I send to folks is worth it just for the iPhone, they can just wait until they get home. I will experiment.
Thanks ever so much. John On Jan 8, 2009, at 8:54 PM, Harry Jacobson-Beyer wrote: > Boy you are way beyond me now! Sorry. > > But, yet another thought.
